Regarding Guderian's arrival, the officers and lieutenants who had originally had a somewhat depressed atmosphere in the hall eased up slightly.

"Due to the rapid march and the relationship between the new soldiers, it takes two to three days for reinforcements to be replenished one after another. Guderian couldn't help but explain when he saw the expectant looks in everyone's eyes.

"So, the pressure is still heavy. You also need to brace yourself and be ready to defend. Evra took over: "Now, let's go through the staffing data of our respective locations, and we will continue to coordinate the assignment of tonight's tasks." ”

Next, Guderian listened to Evra and the lieutenants' assignment of the defensive line. This gave Guderian a more intuitive idea of what was going on in the defensive line today. Such meetings and battle plans also allow the military attachés in various positions of the defense line to have a better prediction of the situation of their teammates during the battle.

"The enemy has night vision and a constant supply of cannon fodder troops, which we humans don't need. Our only advantage is the terrain. But the warriors were exhausted after many days of fighting, which in turn neutralized the advantage of the terrain. Evra said to Guderian after the officers and lieutenants had assigned their battle plans and left, "The enemy's methods of fighting are too scoundrels, and we can only be passively consumed. ”

"Cannon fodder class?" Guderian did not hear any information about the enemy in the personnel and disposition data report prior to the battle plan.

"Yes. The subterranean drow enslaved the kobolds, and the drow mages fused them with a certain bloodline from the demon plane, giving them superior strength and exaggerated reproductive abilities. On the battlefield, these kobolds became their cannon fodder troops. It's endless. Evra said with a headache.

"How effective are these kobolds?" asked Guderian. At this time, the two walked out of the conference hall in the bunker and climbed the stone steps outside the bunker to the top of the bunker overlooking the entire valley. I saw that the bonfire was lit to form a bright band in the open space of the valley outside the defense line above and below the crater, and the shadows were faintly visible beyond the firelight.

"These kobolds, with an average height of about 1.5 or 6 meters, have undergone some kind of fusion of demonic bloodlines (in our words, genetic fusion, improvement, or simply put, hybridization. ), mentally confused, relatively low intelligence, but very powerful and extremely bloodthirsty, once the fight is endless. In terms of individual combat effectiveness alone, it is inferior to our ordinary soldiers. (Without an intelligent class, there is no combat skill.) Combat effectiveness is not just about strength)" Evra said: "The previous defense line in the passage was broken by the brainless charge of these kobolds with the cooperation of drow archers and mages. In a small area, this cannon fodder class is simply a millstone, unstoppable. So we had to retreat to the last two lines of defense. Evra's words were full of helplessness and heaviness.

Guderian could imagine the kind of frantic charge that these cannon fodder were not afraid of death. If such a class of troops, regardless of the cost of casualties, appears on all battlefields, the human defense line is really worrying. There are not so many soldiers in the human race who can fill in, and the lives of human soldiers are not so cheap, and it takes a lot of time to train a human soldier.

"How did the generals face this situation in previous battles?" Guderian had seen some special examples of battles since returning to the capital, but he had never seen such a situation.

Evra shook his head and said, "In the past ten years, the battles in the underground passage have been scattered and petty fights, and there is no such class. It was twenty years ago that there was a big war like this, and at that time, the kobold class was not what it is now, and most of them were only responsible for the logistics of the underground races and miscellaneous duties such as cleaning the battlefield. This was the first time it appeared, and Archmage Natasha studied their corpses and learned that they were modified variants. I just don't know if there are any other variants that have been modified besides kobolds. ”

"It's a very inexplicable situation. Guderian was also worried.

"While the enemy is still attacking, I want to rest. I only slept two or three hours a day, and I was almost an old woman. Evra ended the conversation: "The deputy commander of the line, Mr. Lanardo, is at the bottom of the line, so ask him what you want to know." Evre smiled at Guderian, then gave a few words to the guards on the bunker and went back to rest.

Guderian watched Evra's figure disappear under the stone steps, turned his head to look down on the entire defensive line, and asked the guards ordered by Evra to take him to the deputy commander of Lanardo. The ensigns, who had been waiting under the bunker, also followed.

"Be mentally prepared that tonight we will take part in the battle on the defensive line, so that we can familiarize ourselves with the enemy's way of fighting, so that we will not be in a hurry when we change our defenses. Guderian said to the ensigns.

"Yes, General. The lieutenants replied in unison, sonorously and powerfully. Facing the enemy for the first time, these teenagers were a little nervous, but more excited and confident. This is a common problem for every young man with military feelings.

Guderian didn't say anything more, maybe he was like this back then. Led by the guards, Guderian and his party descended the stone steps from a deliberately open gap in the line to the line at the foot of the mountain. It is not necessarily the foot of the mountain, at least, the stone wall built by the defense line is still five or six meters above the valley floor. On the gentle slope behind the defensive line, there is a huge space dug into the slope about 50 meters, which is used for the soldiers to rest and store supplies. Every 100 meters of the three-mile defense line also built a platform protruding from the perimeter of the defense line, and each platform was equipped with ten bed crossbows and two magic crystal cannons. The soldiers of the defense were neatly guarded behind the battlements of the wall, and the passages of the defensive line were littered with rolling stones the size of millstones, huge logs, butter that had not yet begun to be heated, and so on. In the bright light of the fire, Guderian also saw scorched marks and all kinds of dirt on the valley under the defensive line, and some uncleaned stumps, broken arms, internal organs and skulls. Even with the mages' air cleansing spells, there was still a rancid smell on the defensive lines. The faces of the ensigns who followed Guderian changed slightly, but they were still calm.

After crossing the two platforms, the guards took Guderian and his party to a stone outside the gentle slope and stopped: "General, this is the camp of His Excellency the Deputy Commander. After saying that, he turned around and went back to his post.

Guderian asked the soldiers standing guard outside the stone to inform inside, and after a while, a young man of about thirty greeted him: "General Guderian." The person who came was slender, with a square face, tough features, and a huge figure, taller than Guderian, a head and a half thicker, a heavy armor rattling, and his right hand clenched his fist and touched his chest to salute Guderian.

"Hello, Commander Lanardo. Guderian returned the favor. Then Guderian and the ensigns were ushered into the stone chamber.

There were also three people sitting at the huge stone table in the stone room, two young black-robed male mages and a young red-robed red-haired female mage. Under the light of the magic lamp, the beautiful girl in the red flame robe was particularly conspicuous. As Guderian and Lanardo entered, all three stood up.

"This is His Excellency Guderian, the commander of the reinforcements," Lanardo introduced to the three, all of whom nodded.

"This is Archmage Natasha, this is Master Jialan, and this is Master Doron. Lanardo continued, and Guderian nodded to the trio. Lanardo said and motioned for Guderian to sit down with the group. The lieutenants consciously stood in line on the left and right at the door. The stone chamber was very large, and the dozen or so people in it also seemed very empty. Except for the stone table in the middle, only a chaise longue and various instruments are placed in the corner.

"I'm going to defend the line with you tonight. What is the arrangement, you may ask. Guderian sat down and spoke to the crowd.

After some hesitation, Lanardo said: "I heard from the officers who came back from the previous combat meeting that the reinforcements brought by the general are all new recruits, and we are worried about the battle after the soldiers of the defensive line are rotated by the recruits. Lanardo didn't take Guderian's words, and directly expressed the worries in his heart. This was also the concern of the officers and lieutenants who attended the combat meeting.

"These recruits, in the course of my rapid march, have screened out those with more outstanding physical strength and will. There were about 3,000 men, and two days later we arranged for them to fight with the original soldiers of the defensive line, bringing the old with the new, and at the same time replacing a small number of soldiers in a two-for-one way to rest. Then, in two days, more and more recruits will arrive to participate. Instead of replacing 20,000 soldiers of the original defense line at once, in that case, it is better to simply abandon the defense line. Guderian explained.

"We were discussing such a method just now, but without your understanding of the recruits, I don't know where to start. Natasha blinked her big beautiful eyes and looked at Guderian curiously and intricately.

"So it seems that the general had already thought about this on the way here. Lanardo admired.

"These recruits have only been training for a week, and counting the rapid march of these few days, it is only about ten days, and their physical strength and combat skills are limited. It will take some time to grow. But now this situation can only allow them to grow in battle. Therefore, we participated in the guard tonight to understand the combat intensity of each position in the battle, and then we could arrange for the new recruits to replace the defensive line. Otherwise, it can be said that it will be a waste of human life to put them into an overly high-intensity combat post mission all at once. Guderian continued.

"I see. Then, General, you and these ten lieutenants will act as a firefighting team tonight. I'll also pull out some soldiers with you," Lanardo said happily. If there is a general with ten lieutenants to act as a firefighting team, the stability of the defensive line will be much, much better. At the very least, General Evra can rest more, these days are really tormenting for General Evra, who loves beauty. Lanardo thought to himself.

"General Guderian, don't you really remember me?" said Natasha suddenly, with a smile of remembrance in her eyes. That's it...... It's a bit of a misunderstanding.

When everyone heard Natasha's words, they immediately looked at the two of them suspiciously, and pricked up their ears.

Guderian looked at Natasha innocently: "I'm really sorry, because I was injured on the battlefield...... I really can't remember the people and things in the past. ”

"Alas...... I've heard about that, too. I thought you were pretending to do it on purpose, just to avoid Ellie and Sophie. Natasha said quietly: "It turns out to be true." Natasha looked at Guderian with a look that didn't seem to be fake.

Lannardo, Jialan, and Duolun only then knew that Archmage Natasha and General Guderian, as well as his fiancée and lover, were old acquaintances. OK...... It wasn't his lover, and the three of them were visibly relieved.

Guderian took in the expressions of the three of them, and couldn't help but feel slightly embarrassed. The ensigns couldn't help but look sideways.

Of course, Natasha also noticed the expressions of the three of them, and their minds were also guessing. He deliberately sighed: "It's a pity...... You have forgotten so many beauties, I thought you were pretending, and you won't pretend when you see me. ”

...... Guderian said embarrassedly, "Uh, aren't we talking about the defense line......"

"Yes, General. Master Duolun couldn't help but respond. was directly glanced at by Natasha, and the charming style couldn't help but make Lanardo and Jialan, and the ensign who looked at him swallow his saliva. This is simply a demon girl who can kill people by her appearance and expression.

"I'll tell you our story when I have time. Natasha deliberately looked at Guderian softly and said, "However, you have to protect me, General Guderian." "Natasha is deliberately affectionate. Lanardo, Jialan, and Duolun felt lost in their hearts. These expressions fell on Guderian's eyes, making Guderian afraid of Natasha - is this to pull hatred for himself? Natasha, on the other hand, pretended to ignore the expressions of the three of them.

"Uh...... Since Commander Lanardo has arranged for me to bring people to serve as a firefighting team, I will first bring people to familiarize themselves with the lower line. The soldiers arranged by Commander Lanardo just let them report to me on the defensive line, and of course, let them bring me the specific section in charge of the defensive line after arranging. Guderian said and got up and went out eagerly with the ensigns.

"I didn't expect that after ten years, my amnesia would change so much, it was a different person. I really wonder if I was possessed by an unknown soul from some different plane. Natasha looked at Guderian's departing back in a daze and muttered: "No, I have to find a way to restore his memory, although this look is also very charming, but it is too impersonal." It's still as fun as it used to be...... What about the story of Ellie and Sophie......? Would it be better to put the story between Guderian and Ellie and Sophie and the entanglement with Natasha?"

Lanardo, Jialan, and Duolun were dumbfounded—what was this? Not enough IQ......

Natasha came back to her senses, consciously lost her words, and glared at the three of them viciously: "You didn't hear anything, understand......?

However, the three of them did not dare to slack off, and quickly shook their heads to ensure that they had heard nothing, and the horror that was still fresh in their memories appeared on their faces......
