The next day, as he prepared for dawn, Charles, who had slept lightly, heard a sound outside the room.

Several elves had returned from other holes in the hall.

Their bodies were wet, covered in mud and grass clippings, and some had been bitten by bugs on their faces, apparently lurking outside for the night.

"They didn't stop patrolling on rainy nights. ”

Charles heard the scouts' debriefing.

"There are two more winches to transport supplies up the mountain, and all the loading places are behind the stronghold at the bottom of the mountain. ”

"There are stone checkpoints at the intersection of the uphill road, and there are checkpoints every few tens of meters on the mountain road. ”

"There are also demons in the base at the foot of the mountain. ”

"From the conversation with the fish-man patrols, it was learned that they planned to use the wall to connect the stronghold below the mountain in order to build a wall to enclose the mountain. ”

......

There was not a single piece of good news in the half-hour report, the fish-men and demons had apparently strengthened the mountain's defenses again, and even a storm could not stop their work.

Charles pondered after hearing this, although this mountain was a good vantage point, there was no reason for the fish-people to invest a huge amount of manpower and material resources that were not matched with it to build more defenses than they needed.

At this time, a sense of anxiety rose in Charles's heart, and his intuition told him that the other party's actions were not just as simple as occupying high ground, and there must be a great conspiracy in it.

A voice in his heart told him that he must go to the mountains to see.

Although Arethosa didn't need him to act alone, he wasn't out of the question.

It is impossible to act without authorization, and it is not empty words to follow orders in all actions.

His "Journey of Thousands of Miles" was an official operation approved by Elizabeth, and Charles had to contact the local troop command first when he went to the place, and then consider how to act after coordinating with the command.

If the local army is preparing to carry out a big operation, and he has no head or brains to startle the snake, causing other people's preliminary work to be in vain, then he can go to prison and squat until he is old.

If he made a mistake in principle, Elizabeth and Victoria would not be able to save him, and if an opening was made for him, then the entire army construction of the elves would collapse in the anthill, which would be a disaster enough for the elves to wipe out the race.

Charles himself understands this truth, and he has figured out the context of the construction and development of the elven army, that is, to shape a regular army according to the army building ideas left by the ancestor Philip.

In the regularized army, no one is allowed to go alone. "It is our duty to obey orders, we must keep in mind the rules and regulations, the orders must be carried out and the prohibitions must be stopped, and we must consciously condense into a fighting collective" is not just a song on the lips, but a implementation in the bones.

Referring to the people's army in his previous life, "obeying the command in all actions" ranked first among the three major disciplines and eight points of attention.

In the 21 st century, writers who write about the kind of soldiers of the people's army who play personal heroism and win battles instead of observing discipline are either stupid or bad.

Charles always felt that the army of the elves was being built in preparation for the arrival of a big war, but he couldn't figure out who the enemy was.

The elves have already indirectly controlled the economy of the humans in the south of the river, and there is no need to conquer them by force. And the elves are afraid of the cold, and they don't like it very much when it's too cold in the northern region.

The Rurik Kingdom in the west has also been ruled out, and even humans know that the friendship between the elves and the demons is extremely deep.

During the day, Arethosa and the scouts who had returned from scouting went to the room to rest. Charles, who had already rested for the night, no longer occupied the lounge, and he sat down at a long table in the hall writing his plan of action for sneaking to the top of the mountain.

Along with Charles was another elf in the hall, who had rested in another room the previous night and was in charge of keeping watch during the day.

She looked curiously at Charles, who was concentrating on his writing, and then took a can of drink from the cabinet next to him and placed it next to Charles.

The hall inside the cave was eerily quiet, except for the rustle of Charles's writing, except for the faint sound of breathing.

With Arethosa's relationship with Elizabeth, Charles felt that Arethosa must know the details of his bloodline, so he didn't mind revealing a little bit of his abilities.

Charles's plan was simple, he used space magic to open a tunnel from the mountain to the top of the mountain. Previously, he had mastered the art of digging out large volumes of space in the mountains while digging shelters in the mountains.

If the plan succeeds, the elven warriors can even quietly climb to the top of the mountain through this tunnel.

Charles plans to submit the plan of action to Aratosha for review first, and if she doesn't agree, Charles will submit it to the army headquarters in Crystal City.

As an administrator, Arethosa is only the second-in-command of the army, and the first is the commander of the army.

If not, Charles could also submit the plan of action directly to Elizabeth.

If Elizabeth also vetoes this course of action, then he can't do anything.

If he submits his plan of action to Queen Victoria, there is probably no second outcome other than that he is hung up and beaten by the Queen.

By order given by Elizabeth, Charles could ask the local commander for help.

This order was given by Elizabeth, and if the Crystal City command vetoed Charles's order, Charles could go through the appeal process and submit the action plan on the grounds that the local garrison was not cooperating, and finally Elizabeth would decide whether to issue a new order for Crystal City to cooperate with Charles.

If Charles approached Queen Victoria to submit a plan of action, it would be considered a skip to the level, and this kind of behavior would be meaningless in the elven royal court to slap Elizabeth in the face with the sole of his shoe.

Fortunately, the elves have begun to equip new magic communication devices on a large scale, making the running process extremely fast.

In the afternoon, Arethosa and the other elven scouts woke up.

The elves who came to the hall first complained about Charles's behavior of eating cockscomb snake eggs.

Two elven scouts had returned from the entrance of the cave where Charles had entered, but they were startled by the snakes outside the cave and had to take a detour back from another cave.

Arethosa, who had just walked out of the room and was still yawning, was stunned when she saw the course of action handed to him by Charles.

Arethosa then sat down at the end of the long table, away from the scouts who were eating and chatting, and began to work on Charles's plan.

The plan to open a passage through the mountain is extremely tempting, especially if the elves can sneak up on the top of the mountain through it.

Arethosa sighed and decided to bring the plan of action written by Charles back to Crystal City for a meeting to discuss.

If this plan is really to be implemented, it cannot be separated from the cooperation of other parties.
