Imperial capital, Heavenly Dome Palace, Imperial Cabinet Hall.

If there is a choice, Loren definitely doesn't want to use this as his own battle room, considering the time it takes for the messenger to run back and forth from the imperial capital gate or the military camp in the Heavenly Dome Palace, it just sounds desperate.

The problem is that he doesn't have a choice.

With the memories of the nobles of the imperial capital, or the goldfish of the imperial council, as long as they and the two hundred demon hunters and the Byrne Knight Guards who came with them left the Heavenly Dome Palace, they would immediately forget the despair when they were coerced and lured yesterday, and instead have the illusion of "I can fight back", and began to dig a hole for themselves in the back.

The Minister of the Seals, Metternich, and the Imperial Cabinet have proved that they can't persuade these stupid marmots and moldy oranges at all, and the only way to suppress and elevate them is to keep a threat at all times, so Loren must personally sit in the Heavenly Dome Palace, and let the black and gold lion flags fly inside and outside the main entrance of the Heavenly Dome Palace all the time, so as to make them a little impressed.

As for Yang Feng and Yin violation, saying one thing and doing another, remembering to eat and not remembering, rebellion, assassination and assassination... In just two days since the declaration of the battle, Loren has reached the point where he is not surprised, and even "pampered and not surprised".

It turns out that the gang is not stupid, but they are definitely self-righteous enough - as if everyone thinks they are conspirators of absolute genius, and that they can't guess who did or didn't do anything.

After doing a few of the most powerful jumps, the remaining nobles of the imperial capital still didn't have any idea of "reflection", and went forward to make trouble for him with various small actions.

If it weren't for the fact that it only took three days for him, the black-haired wizard would really have the urge to burn down the Imperial Council.

"Your Excellency the Duke, though your proclamation to the Imperial Diet is magnificent, generous and powerful, ......"

Xiao Yode, who still had a pair of dark circles under his eyes, stared at the black-haired wizard viciously with a mad gaze: "Three days?!"

"Just sorting out the accounts of all the chambers of commerce in the imperial capital, and mobilizing the materials in the warehouses one by one will take more than three days, not to mention that you are not going to defend the city, but to go out of the city to fight and go out, so the expenses will only increase instead of decreasing, do you understand?!"

"Again, I'm not a monster like you, I'm not an evil god, I'm not a vampire, I'm not a fanatic believer, I can't achieve the miracle you want to achieve!"

Taking a deep breath of cold air, Xiao Yode's hands were trembling: "There are more than 100,000 troops in the imperial capital, it is not easy for them to complete their rest in three days, and you still want to arm them all to fight out of the city......

"You don't need such an army, 80,000 is enough. The black-haired wizard shook his head: "Fifty thousand Byrne Legions, twenty thousand Elemon Legions, and ten thousand Sakran Legions left behind in the imperial capital." ”

"The Sakran Legion doesn't need us to be in charge of logistics, the Elems Legion is basically the same, and then the Byrne Legion... Weapons and equipment, we have already controlled the armory of the imperial capital, as long as we move it out and use it. ”

80,000 people... Including the deployment of troops, it was a decision made by Loren after careful consideration.

First of all, although he participated in more than one melee with tens of thousands of people, the experience of actually commanding nearly 100,000 people in battle was too little, and 30,000 or 40,000 people might be okay, but it would be difficult to grasp after double.

From 40,000 to 100,000, it is not only the strength of the army that has doubled but also the width and depth of the battlefield.

Therefore, he needs Ully Wirtz, Grand Duke of Elleman, and his Ellemont Legion, who is only responsible for half of the battlefield and coordination, which can relieve a lot of pressure.

As for the 10,000 Sakrand Legion ... Just in case.

The heavy infantry legion that Conod had left behind in the imperial capital to maintain law and order was the only elite left in the imperial capital, except for the royal guards, who had actually just been reorganized from a veteran legion, and Loren did not feel that he could rely on them, but he was worried that they might turn against them.

Although this army has always maintained its usual good style and has always stayed out of the infighting, Loren cannot pin his hopes on the quality of the other party, so he must pull this elite away from the imperial capital.

In this way, no matter how much the nobles in the city toss, the remaining Byrne legion can also ensure that it is suppressed at a critical moment and does not let the logistics line collapse.

Securing the rear line, the frontline battle is equivalent to winning half of the battle, as for the Sakran Legion Loren who was pulled into the battlefield, there is a way, whether it is a reserve or let them be on the front line, and even prepared for this group of people to defect before the formation.

Although this probability is indeed very low.

"The remaining troops will be stationed in the key city defenses and warehouses in the Imperial Capital, assisting the royal guards and escort legions to maintain the continuity just in case, without having to go out of the city to fight, and you will not need to think about logistics for them. ”

"But, but just the accounts of all the armies, chambers of commerce, and warehouses ......"

"If you are trying to use the title of Duke of Byrne's 'Guardian of Golovin' for personal gain, I advise you to die of this heart!"

At the other end of the long table, Victor Hughs, the former magistrate sitting beside the eldest princess Fitlonai, interrupted little Yod with a cold snort.

That's right, the eldest princess Fetronai and the entire Imperial Cabinet, which is one of the reasons why Loren must stay in the Heavenly Dome Palace.

Even with the authority to rule the imperial capital of Golovin, the Imperial Diet was still trying to limit Loren's power, one of which was to demand that all his affairs be absolutely open to the regency Fitronay.

Although it seemed to Loren that Her Royal Highness the eldest princess had no interest in politics, she had been silent from the beginning of the meeting until now, relying on Victor Hughes's resolute maintenance to maintain her last sense of existence.

In this case, Loren is also happy to ignore her and maintain this harmonious relationship.

"In the name of the Imperial Cabinet and the Imperial Council, I assure you that the Empire will never interfere with normal logistics and trade, but if I perceive any other aspect of your thoughts......

"Yes, we can't refuse goods from Byrne, but we can refuse you - you and any of your subordinates, anyone with the surname Yode, will be expelled from the gates of the imperial capital!"

The harsh words echoed through the hall, and the sneering little Yod shook his head and stopped talking.

Victor Hughes's threats sounded scary, but to him they sounded no different from bowing their heads and giving in, and as long as he could make money, Little Yod didn't care if he was "unpopular" or not.

"This is the end of the logistics problem, and then the deployment of the army. The black-haired wizard changed the subject, and looked at the Archduke of Ellemont and the Earl of Rock Castle on the other side of the table.

Yuli Wirtz, who had a serious expression, was silent, and tried to open his arms to open the map, which was a little big for him, and as for the direction of the Azorean elf siege camp and the deployment of troops, they had also been marked on the map in advance.

Almost the moment they saw the location of the siege camp, all the generals couldn't help frowning - the reason is simple, because the terrain advantage occupied by the Azorean elves is too good.

As for why, it's simpler, because the timid nobles of the imperial capital never let the defending army out of the city to harass or raid the enemy, so the Azorean elves on the opposite side can choose the location of his camp at will.

The camp of the Azorean elves can be roughly divided into three parts - the first line of the Imperial Capital Avenue to the north, which controls the road to Lothair and Ebolden;

On the eastern side of the stronghold, it should be the headquarters of the elven prince, controlling a high ground with a tower castle;

On the south side of the stream, there is a stream and tidal flat area where the Baobao River is diverted.

The three parts of the camp were linked together, and the back of the Gem River surrounded the strongest southern gate of the imperial capital, with a total strength of about 100,000;

Of course, there is no way to solve it - no matter how you set up your camp, it is impossible for the Azorean elves to avoid the Gem River, the largest source of water, and finding a way to cooperate with a frontal attack from the river is the easiest and most effective way.

But it's a pity that the port of the imperial capital has been reduced to ruins, and all the ships have either been scuttled or burned, and the reason... Basically the same as above.

Severin de Salion was not present, and neither the eldest princess nor the imperial cabinet knew anything about military affairs, so Yuli Wirtz didn't bother to talk nonsense, and opened directly:

"The only way to defeat the Azorean elves is to attack from the front!"

"The line of defense that controls the avenue is the strongest, and there are a great number of trenches, earthen walls, and fences, and the only way to start a battle will quickly turn into a storm, and the enemy will not be stupid enough to let us attack, and the enemy on the high ground will surely rush down and crush our attacking army from the flank;"

"It's hard to build a defense on the tidal flats, but it's also hard to maintain a tight line, and the only end of a scattered charge is to be slaughtered by the elven warriors;"

"As for the enemy in the high ground ... They will not rush down in the unlikely event that they will have a condescending advantage if we try to attack, and the phalanx of spears and the wall of shields are difficult to play in such places, especially the cavalry;"

"In addition, if I'm not mistaken, the Azorean elves also possess a projection weapon called the 'Launcher', which can fire beams of fire from a great distance, powerful enough to leave a mark on the walls of the imperial capital, and those who are hit... will all turn into coke. ”

"Since their home camp is above the high ground, the position of the projectile weapon should also be on it, and when the war begins, these horrible projectile weapons will force us to attack as quickly as possible, turning us into a mass of scattered sand with explosions and roars. ”

"If you are destined to suffer heavy casualties, why do you support the initiative?" the Imperial Chancellor asked.

"Because of the timidity of the nobles, this has become the last choice with a glimmer of hope!"

The voice of the Grand Duke of Ellemont was filled with rage.

"I don't want to talk about anything if... So we have to take the initiative to fight, and if we want to defeat them, we have to meet two conditions. Taking a deep breath, Yuli Wirtz said coldly:

"First of all, it is necessary to take advantage of the foggy weather, that is, in the early hours of the morning - only then can you slightly obscure the enemy's view and launch a surprise attack;"

"Secondly, we must do everything possible to capture the high ground, and only by occupying the high ground can we take the initiative, otherwise the condescending enemy will still kill us completely. ”

"Therefore, our army must also be divided into three parts, attacking from different directions - to avoid being too concentrated and becoming a living target for the enemy's weapons!"

"The Ellemont regiment will attack from the tidal flats... We have the least number of troops, but if we want to pin down the enemy, there is no better person than the two-handed swordsmen of Ellemont. ”

Yuri Wirtz glanced at Loren, and after confirming that the black-haired wizard had no intention of interrupting, he continued: "And the Byrne Legion is mainly attacking the Imperial Avenue line, and at the same time, it is necessary to leave enough reserves to meet the Elemand Legion and beware of the enemies in the highlands;"

"Of course, the 50,000 Byrne Legion alone is not enough to complete the combat missions on both battlefields, so the Sakran Legion must also go into battle, crucified under the high ground, and block the enemy's charge. ”

"And then?" asked Victor Hughes.

"Then it's up to you to see who collapses first. The Grand Duke of Ellemont replied very directly: "If the enemy retreats to the high ground, it is only a matter of time before they are besieged and killed, if the battle of the road or the tidal flats is turned, the army of the high ground can be supported, and if both fields are destroyed, ...... all."

"Then, the battle is over. Loren said softly.

Yuli Wirtz bowed slightly.

Originally, in Loren's plan, he hoped that the Church of the Holy Cross would stand up or send a group of elite Knights of Oath to cooperate with the Sakran Legion to block the enemy's attack in the high ground.

He guessed that the Church might refuse, or make all kinds of demands or conditions, but he did not expect that the Holy Cross Church would be closed and completely out of the matter, and still had no news, and did not even want to have any contact with him.

Surprise is surprise, what should be done still has to be done.

"Under the high ground, I will gather Byrne's spear phalanx here to defend it, and the Foot Knights led by Guy Angart, Earl of Mountain Rock Castle, will be in charge of the monopoly, and as for the Sakran Legion, ......"

"I'll take the lead. ”

Fitlonay, who had always been silent, suddenly spoke.

There was silence for a full minute at the long table in the cabinet hall.

"Why, didn't you hear clearly?" Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, who felt as if she had been ignored, frowned slightly: "Then I'll say it again, the Sakran Legion that went out of the city to fight was ......"

"It's absolutely not going to work!"

Victor Xius's face changed in shock, and he almost instinctively got up suddenly: "Your Royal Highness the Eldest Princess, your willingness to fight for the empire is in a good mood, and we can understand it, but it is really ...... to let the second heir of the empire leave the Heavenly Dome Palace at this time."

Fitronay interrupted the panicked judge with a wave of his hand, and looked silently at the black-haired wizard with an emotionless gaze:

"You refused my second request, so this time I changed to another one, I should be able to agree, right?"

"Do I have a choice?"

Loren asked rhetorically.

"No, unless you intend to accept the refusal of the Ten Thousand Sakran Legion to accept your orders. ”

"Then it's decided. ”
