Chapter 152: Tactical Meeting

In general, it is still a little ridiculous to want to assassinate the other king's king or something. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Not to mention that the royal city of Sunderland itself is almost on the other side of the map, even if it is a problem to infiltrate in the vicinity, it is difficult for the Assassin League and the Church of Light to penetrate into the more core places, even in Scalloa, there are few assassins and Holy See activities near Hobbs to avoid threats to the royal power.

Under heavy protection, with the abilities that Carlil can use now, there is really no hope, maybe it's more realistic to imagine that a meteorite will suddenly fall and crush Ambrose to death.

However, this place is far away from the emperor, and suddenly a meteorite really crushed the king to death, and the fortress of the goddess of ice and snow must still be besieged, and it will still have to face almost the same situation - only the situation will change in the future.

And the officers who directly control the operations of this part of the army are still in the rear of the border, and the entire brigade after Karil's sneak attack is encamped in a large distance, and the follow-up mistakes, including large weapons, are still on the way, and the camp will not be moved elsewhere in a short time.

If Kahlil had this information, it would probably be a good assassination option.

It's a pity that there is no strong intelligence service now, and Scaloa is too weak in this area, but in fact, they can't be blamed entirely, because some other people are in the way.

The camp in the rear was stationed, and the environment there was much better than that of the troops on the front line, and if Sommer was to judge, the commander's camp was like paradise, and there was no cold or spirits, although the fruit wine he could get was still different from his favorite mead, but it was enough to comfort Somer's wounded mind and body.

Carlil knew no less about the area around Icefield than the self-proclaimed Graybeard guide, and after a day of winding and circumambulation along the mountains, he really managed to get out of the encirclement of Sunderland, and a group of people who had taken advantage of the time and place slipped out of the snowy mountains without any danger, except for a big detour to delay the return time, this attack can be regarded as very successful.

And the news that the accompanying mage was brought to the commander's table that night, a message, it was obviously much easier to pass than a group of big living people on Karil's side, if the commander was also familiar with the local environment at this time, it would probably have time to cause some trouble to Karil.

It's a pity that all kinds of shortcomings made them miss the last chance to contain the culprit on the spot.

The news of the attack was written in a two-page emergency report, which was placed on the commander's desk just after dark in the evening, and the tents in the camp were much more beneficial than the rest of the world, and the Sunderland was now rich and well-equipped.

This report made Jensen very unhappy, he couldn't adjust his mood after dinner for the first time in nearly a month, although he had occasionally suffered unexpected battle losses since he went out with the team, but the one-time loss was so large that he couldn't catch the enemy, which made Jensen unacceptable.

He propped his right hand on the table with his elbow, his left hand on his knee, and pressed his boot impatiently on the ground, frowning as if he was waiting for something.

"These damn bastards," he cursed under his breath. The second half of the report was filled with the names of a number of magicians, a list so dense that it was difficult to read even in the flickering candlelight.

The curtain of the tent door moved, and a soldier's report came from outside, Jenson glanced at the door, and said angrily inside: "If it's a report, send it in, and tell the others to keep rolling away for me before I give the order!" ”

"Yes."

A man in cloth armor walked in from the outside, but there was another guy in neat armor behind him, who was slow and leisurely, not paying attention to the second half of Jenson's words, and looking like he was late.

Jensen didn't even glance at the person behind him, and when he came up, he asked the soldier, "Adjutant, has the detailed report come up?" ”

"Yes, but I guess that's not what you want to see." The young man, known as the adjutant, placed a neat stack of papers on Jenson's desk from under his armpit, and pushed it forward, then took a step back, consciously standing sideways, making way for those behind him.

"I said that you will complete your own tasks, not give your own opinions." Jenson had a lot of criticism about the second half of the adjutant's sentence, but now he didn't bother to pay attention to these small details, he grabbed the new report that had been sent in and frowned and flipped through it.

The other guy who followed suit, dressed in a full suit of neat armor with intricate carvings showing his status, walked into Jenson's tent with an easy-going look after the lieutenant, and then pulled over a chair and sat down next to Jenson's desk without saying hello to each other.

"I heard we're in trouble?"

The guy pressed half of his body against Jenson's desk, pretending to be curious.

Jenson frowned, read the report hastily, waited until he had read it cursorely, and then slammed it on the table, and then replied, "As you can see, I think I'm afraid it's hard to have more trouble." ”

"Oh?" The guy curiously glanced at the report on the table, the lack of candlelight in the tent made it difficult for him to read what was written on the report, he thought for a moment and said, "What is the specific situation, if you don't mind......"

"No" Jensen stacked the two reports on top of each other and slammed them on the table in front of the other party, "I'm sorry that although you are at the same level as me but belong to a different team, it is not within your purview to access it, but." ”

Jenson sighed and continued, "But we can talk, and just because we can't see the original report doesn't mean we can't talk about it. ”

"As I wish," said the fellow, "let me hear what is causing our Jenson such a headache." ”

It is probably because the army of Sunderland has been marching almost all the way since its march, and these warriors, accustomed to victory, have begun to stop taking any enemy in their eyes at some point.

Jenson glanced at him, with a slight regret in his heart, maybe this kind of thing could have been avoided earlier.

"One of our teams was attacked."

Jenson said that he deliberately made the matter very simple first, luring the other party to go deeper into the topic.

"Oh, it sounds so ordinary, which one, where, who is the other side, and how much is the loss." He shrugged his shoulders, being attacked was completely standard in war, and there was nothing surprising about it.

"In the snowy mountains south of Icefield City, that's right, it's that team, remember, not long ago we also discussed the feasibility of the plan to quickly and directly cross the snowy mountains to capture the Ice and Snow Goddess Fortress."

Jenson said that he and his camp were very close to each other, and the task of the other party was much easier, so he often came to his side to have a look after he was fine, and he was happy to have someone to discuss the battle situation with him.

"You mean, they were really attacked in the snowy mountains?"

As Jenson wished, the guy raised his eyebrows in surprise when he heard the news, then lowered his head slightly and thought for a moment, and muttered, "Impossible...... It shouldn't be......"

"Either way, that's what it is," Jenson said.

"Okay, so what about the specifics, what about our losses." What has already happened, it's a little too late to say anything now.

"The accompanying magicians are almost all destroyed."

"What!"

Jensen looked at the guy in front of him and stood up suddenly, his armor slamming against his table with a crisp sound.

"That's a team of nearly a hundred battle mages, how is it possible! How to do it! Who is the other party! How many people! Tell me! His eyes widened, and he looked at Jensen as if he had done it himself.

Jenson tapped the report lightly with his knuckles and said, "Nothing is impossible, the other party has launched an avalanche and buried our magician, and under this impact, there is no possibility of getting out of the snow alive." ”

"Avalanche? No, no, if I remember that there was no place on your route to destroy our warriors like this, did you change it at the end? ”

He also participated in the formulation of the attack plan of this force, and the two of them had been arguing for a long time about whether they could cross the snowy mountains and attack the fortress of the Ice and Snow Goddess, and the route outlined by the red note was still clearly imprinted in his mind.

"No, my orders have not been changed, and my subordinates have not changed the route without authorization, but there are other reasons for our people to be there." Jensen said, flipping through a page of the second report and looking at it, saying, "We have just detected the ingredient of an alchemical potion in the river downstream, and its main function is hallucinogenic - unfortunately, the military mages at the time did not carry enough equipment to detect it - just like our ice wine. ”

"Are you saying that our people were tricked into the valley by the other party and then ambushed by an avalanche?" The man quickly glanced at the large map behind Jenson, quickly found the location of the valley closest to the river and its route, and then muttered, "It's Skaloa's people...... Have we been fooled by Kezian's bastards!? ”

"No, no," Jenson shook his head and said, "Kezia didn't deceive us, although he can't confirm it in person for the time being, but he did receive Avery. The news of Yewood's death will be known to us when we get to the Ice Goddess Fortress, but Kezia did not deceive us, nor did he succeed in the action he had promised. ”

Jensen said, turned around and looked at the large map behind him and said, "That guy is now buried in the ground, and this attack is of course done by the forces that killed Kezia, I think they may really unify Scarloa." ”

"Shouldn't we report to the top?"

"I'll do it, but I'm facing a worse problem now, the intent to raid the Ice Goddess has been revealed, so should this operation continue?"

If you go far, you will waste more time, and although you can push more of your team, at that time, the opponent will be more weak to attack if he is firmly on the ground.

"How many people are there and how much are they lost."

Instead of answering Jensen's question, the other party asked for more details.

"I don't know," Jenson replied honestly, shaking his head.

"I don't know!?"

"Hmm," Jenson let out a long sigh, "We can only speculate that there are not many of them, and after they succeeded, the entire escape operation was extremely fast, leaving no clues, and it could not be an operation of a certain scale...... I was also counting on the official report to bring me some good news, but I can't imagine that it was the result of such stupidity. ”

Jenson picked up the second report and slammed it on the table.

"Looks like you've got a tough opponent." Jensen's words made the man next to him laugh, and he got up from his chair and said to Jensen, "If that's why you're considering whether or not to rescind this operation, let me tell you the good news." ”

"Oh?" Jenson looked back, and it was a bit of a surprise.

"My bunnies will be able to break through the border line of St. Margerie by tomorrow morning at the latest, which is much smoother than I planned, I immediately ordered the adjustment of the team to attack the Ice Goddess from the east, it is only some annoying imps who harass you, if they have the power to fight in front of you, it will not only tell you that the loss is the magician, none of those people will be able to come back, let your people fight it!" Pushing forward frontal forces is simply not enough for them to resist, and our combined forces will be enough to raze the Ice Goddess Fortress to the ground! And taking the fortress will also serve as a springboard for me to continue to push westward. ”

Jenson narrowed his eyes, took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it and put it in his mouth, carefully watching the movements of the arrows on the large map, and took a long time to get half of the cigarette out of his mouth: "This is really the best news I heard today." (To be continued.) )
