Chapter 104: Take the initiative

Shen Mengting's words can be said to be extremely penetrating, and Zhao Yu felt that a sharp sword had been stabbed in his chest. It was obviously a relatively happy mood just now, but now it has been thrown to the bottom quickly.

Zhao Yu is currently a little speechless. No, it should be said that he has always been silent. He clenched his staff, his body still trembling slightly.

When will their Saran Kingdom be able to completely escape the crisis? Zhao Yu thought to himself.

"So, Generalissimo, I have a question to ask. General Wang Bin's face was serious, and he kept taking deep breaths nervously, "Do you guess how long it will take for the army of the Principality of Elia to officially set foot in the ancient region of East Asia to aid our Saran?"

General Wang Bin's question is very crucial, because only when the army of the Principality of Elia has set foot on the ancient continent of East Asia can it be said that it has come into contact with Sauron's great crisis against Saran.

Shen Mengting immediately entered a state of deep thought, and her gaze towards the front seemed to be unable to focus. But soon, her suction gaze returned, "It's hard to say the exact time, but I want to ...... Three months is still going to be needed. ”

When Shen Mengting proposed the time of 'three months', the subordinates all showed extremely stunned expressions. You know, three months is quite a long time. In a rapidly changing battlefield, three days are often fatal.

A sigh of surprise was released, and the council hall seemed to be a busy city.

"Aha! Marshal Shen Mengting is really good at telling some sensational things!" The regent of Zhou Zhi stood up at this time, and he stood in front of Shen Mengting, shaking his bloated and fat body from time to time.

"What does the regent mean, why do you think I'm saying something sensational?"

"I obviously brought good news, but you don't think about it!"

Shen Mengting pouted tightly, "Regent! I'm just talking about my thoughts." At the same time, I don't want to let the people in the barracks feel relaxed. At least, the situation is still more critical. Lian Yunpo on the side of the Sauron Empire, he is an old fritter, he will definitely not wait for three months, so that we Saran will have a chance to breathe. ”

Shen Mengting was right, although so far, Sauron's side had been repairing the stage of soldiers and horses, but the huge attack that followed would definitely show up in a few days.

At that time, Saran, as the defender, will have a headache.

"Then what is Marshal Shen Mengting's opinion, and what methods do you have to defend against the enemy?" the regent of Zhou Zhi asked, judging from his yin and yang strange tone, he just wanted to embarrass Shen Mengting.

Shen Mengting did show a look of embarrassment, she lowered her head as if she was meditating intensely, "At least from the current situation, not only can we not have any relaxation, but we are more nervous than before. Elia's aid is far away, and it will take months to come. So, we had to figure out a way to defend ourselves against the attacks of the previous waves of Sauron. ”

"But, Generalissimo, we've at least withstood two waves of attacks from Sauron's side! General Wang Bin raised his eyebrows, and the eyes below him were also quite bright.

"It's not enough. Sauron's army had not yet reached the stage of breaking their bones, and a few minor setbacks would not slow down their next attack. ”

"So what are we going to do?" Shen Jun shook his clenched fist arm forward. He almost blurted out a 'damn X' swear word, but considering the presence of the regent, he forced the swear word back.

Shen Mengting didn't answer immediately, she put her hands behind her back and immediately crossed the two hands together, and then walked violently.

It's almost like she was in a circle in the room, and Shen Mengting was muttering something while walking.

She must be repeating her thoughts! Zhao Yu gave a certain guess.

As Shen Mengting moved, everyone's eyes in the room were also focused on the female marshal. Since her stride was still relatively large, she almost walked from one side of the room to the other.

"Generalissimo ......"

At the same time as a subordinate also spoke, Shen Mengting suddenly stopped walking. I saw her neck raised up and looked at the ceiling, and her face was very stiff.

"That...... Can we ......" While the words were revealed, Shen Mengting's face finally straightened, "Take the initiative?"

Originally, most people were still surprised, but when they understood the intention that Shen Mengting had just expressed, they were quickly surprised.

"Ahh......h

"I mean, don't be passive about how to defend against Sauron's invasion. We should think carefully about whether we can take the initiative to destroy the opponent's new force. Shen Mengting swept down everyone, as if she had a sense of solicitation.

There was a brief silence, accompanied by a staccato exchange. But behind the sudden scream, the regent of Zhou Zhi approached Shen Mengting in great strides.

The cry just now was naturally made by the regent.

"Generalissimo Shen Mengting, what are you talking about?" Regent Zhou Zhi's face seemed to have some indignation, "Can you please explain?"

"I mean it literally. Shen Mengting glanced at the Zhou Zhi Regent, who had come over, "All along, I have been thinking about how to defend against Sauron's invasion. However, such an idea feels like half the effort. As I said before, the Principality of Elia is still far away, and we must find a way to deal with the enemy. Even if it's a very risky idea, let's try it. ”

"But, do you know how much of the method you are talking about is unrealistic?" the tone of the regent of Zhou Zhi was almost like criticizing his subordinates. His entire face was also a little red, apparently caused by overexcitement.

"Huh, unrealistic?" Shen Mengting bared her teeth with extreme resistance, and she pointed her predecessor in the direction of the regent of Zhou Zhi. In this case, the two of them can be regarded as facing each other, even if they are still a little distance from each other, "Can you please tell the regent in detail?

"How powerful is the Sauron Empire, and how many times have their elite soldiers fought? Don't you even know in your heart? Do you want our army in Yokoga Barracks to be wiped out?"

"Hah! The Lord Regent meant something odd. How could I not know the power of the Sauron Empire's army. However, if we just think that the other party is powerful, and we don't choose to deal with it, then why are we still here?

"I didn't mean that. Marshal Shen Mengting, do you want to change the concept of sophistry?" Zhou Zhi Regent was even more excited, he raised his hand and kept pointing forward, "I mean don't take the initiative to attack, otherwise you will hit a stone with an egg." I've never said not to resist the Sauron Empire. ”

"But, Lord Regent, don't you know where we are now?" Shen Mengting greeted the high-ranking regent without fear, "I have made it very clear just now. It will take at least three months for the Duchy of Elia to come to our aid. During this time, it was impossible for Sauron to remain unmoved. So instead of passively letting them go, we don't give them a fatal blow first!"

"But don't you know that your fatal blow may become an opportunity to be beaten by the enemy?"

"War itself is gambling, how can you know the outcome if you don't gamble?"

"You're using the country's future to pave the way for your ambitions. ”

"Say whatever you want, but here I am the generalissimo, and all orders must be my master. ”

"You ......"

"All right, all right, Lord Regent and Generalissimo! ”

Just when Zhou Zhi and Shen Mengting were arguing, General Wang Bin suddenly intervened between the two as if to be appeased. His hands were still stroking downward, which meant that both of them would say a few words!

Vice Marshal Ma Liming also came to dissuade him at the right time, and he tried to grab Shen Mengting's arm to show that the other party was a little calmer.

But Shen Mengting didn't appreciate it at all, she directly moved her arm away, and her steps moved, "Don't some people know what war is?

"Shen Mengting! pay attention to your wording. Even though you're the generalissimo now, I'm the regent!" Zhou Zhi almost yelled.

"Okay! General Wang Bin's face was extremely embarrassed, even though his hands were raised to his chest, signaling 'stop'.

However, the anger of those two people is still very high, and it seems that they have reached the point of breaking up completely.

"That...... Let me ask. Chen Tianhao suddenly interjected, and he looked directly at Shen Mengting, "Generalissimo, what do you mean by taking the initiative just now, and what is the specific strategy?"

After Chen Tianhao asked like this, everyone realized the most important problem in hindsight, what was the initiative in Shen Mengting's heart?

If it makes sense, you might want to give it a try. Many of the generals present had such thoughts.

After hearing this, Shen Mengting took a quick breath, but still released the answer in her heart, "I don't know if it's right......"

"Aha! You don't even know if it's right, but you dare to say it. Zhou Zhi quickly came with a mockery.

But Shen Mengting didn't pay attention to it at all, she also amplified the volume even closer, and finally completely overshadowed the voice made by the regent of Zhou Zhi, "But I have to say it." As I've said before, this war is ultimately fought on our own, so don't be under the illusion that other countries will come to help. She took a breather, "All the while, our focus is on defending the border. We did not hesitate to build a large number of guard towers to monitor the situation at the border. But ......"

Speaking of this, she suddenly shook her head helplessly, "But judging from the situation some time ago, the role of the watchtower is very insignificant, and it is very easy to be cracked by the other party." So, why do we spend so much energy on the border to see if there is an enemy coming in?"

"What do you mean?" Qian Hao was a little puzzled.

Of course, among the people present, Qian Hao was not the only one who didn't understand, and most of them didn't know why.

"I mean, why are we so obsessed with the security of our borders, and even if the enemy enters our borders, so what?"

"Hmph, hehe, how about entering our border?" Zhou Zhi Regent immediately mocked without smiling, "Shen Mengting, are you sick in the brain? How important the country's borders are, you don't know how important they are?"

"I know that borders are very important. However, in the context of such a disparity between the forces of the enemy and the enemy, the border is not completely unavoidable. The border between Sauron and Saran is so long that it is impossible for us to cover all of them. So, I think it's better to just give up. After all, our most important task is to defend against the invasion of Sauron's army, not simply border security. Compared to the borders, the army of the Sauron Empire is the most terrifying. ”

Qian Hao still didn't understand, so he blinked his eyes dryly, "Huh?

Shen Mengting instantly showed an impatient look, she deliberately exhaled her breath, accompanied by a sigh, "Qian Hao! Including others, I am here to focus on you and you." What is the threat to our Kingdom of Saran now?" is another self-questioning pattern, "the more than 70,000 Sauron troops stationed on the border. Although the security of the border is also very important to us, compared to the threat of the 70,000 army, it is obviously a drop in the bucket. Therefore, we should pay more attention to the actual army of Sauron than to the situation on the border. ”
