Chapter 543 [Fast and Slow]
The expeditionary force set out as usual.
Except that the sentry general of Kadore suddenly disappeared, and it was said that there was something wrong and he needed to stay in the sentry unit and not come to the front.
Everything else is business as usual.
The expeditionary force was getting closer and closer to the enemy's base camp.
All morning.
Scout troops scouting the way ahead, constantly fighting small groups of orc troops.
Some of the orc troops are orc scouts, and some are small orc clans that are in chaos.
And a lot of blood trolls.
The damp but bright Dasaro Forest is not very popular with blood trolls.
In fact, if it weren't for historical reasons and the needs of the Holy Spirit, the Blood Trolls would prefer to stay in Nazmir, where they feel comfortable.
"The enemy is densely numerous. The closer we get to them, the less we can guarantee that our tracks will not be discovered. "Dezla, who had been studying all the way and had not spoken much, was called out by Tonatyiu in the absence of Silly Shandis.
"Such a situation. I think there are two ways to deal with it. ”
"One is to continue to maintain the current scale of scouts, maintain the current speed of advance, and keep the army vigilant and press all the way through. This has the advantage of being more secure and makes the enemy feel the pressure. ”
"The disadvantage is that the enemy can calmly set up a formation to deal with our arrival."
The troll girl said confidently.
Dezra was an adult, and she was now about the height of Shantis, with smooth silver hair and ears almost identical to those of Cadore.
His skin is pale blue and smooth, his golden pupils exude smoothness, and his body is slender but powerful at the waist and abdomen, and a pair of small fangs at the corners of his mouth.
She was able to be singled out by Tonatiu among the more than 10,000 sand-blooded trolls at the beginning, which is the luck of the troll girl, and it is also the luck of Tonatiu.
Dezra is the best commander in Zutona Trolls at the moment, and is almost a student taught by Santis.
In the absence of Shantis.
Tonatiu, who had lost his backbone in the command and arrangement of the march and battle, had to let her come up.
It also trains her abilities.
"That's a good point. What about the second one. Tonatiu said lightly.
Denzla nodded respectfully at him and replied:
"Your Majesty. The second option is to shrink our strength as much as possible, condensing into a quick and powerful fist. Then with the help of our animal friends, we went fast! ”
"The faster you go, the faster you are, and strike at them before they are ready to deal with us! The point is that the sooner the better, and we can even throw away some logistics if needed! ”
"The pros and cons of this are clear. The good thing is that if we do this, the enemy will most likely be caught off guard for a while. The disadvantages are also obvious, if the enemy had already set up, it would be unwise for us to run headlong into it. ”
Dezla was not afraid of the stage, and said her ideas word by word.
Tonatiu nodded.
The two ways to oversee the troll girl are actually to be faster and slower, with higher security and lower security.
He can think of these two military strategies himself. But it's not like his commanding ability and Denzla's brilliance.
But now the distance, terrain, and strength gap between the expeditionary force and the orc base camp, no matter how clever the expeditionary force is, under the constraints of these conditions, there are probably only these two strategies that can be implemented.
The terrain limits the orcs' play, but the special terrain also makes the expeditionary force on the way, and there is only one way to attack the orc base camp.
If you don't take this road, you can only go back to the Western Front and the frontal battlefield.
Or go further east and attack the orcs from the sea by boat. Or the whole army goes to the sky, leaps from the sky to the forest, and parachutes into the orc base camp.
None of these options are realistic.
Flying from the sky, the current troll's air force does not have this kind of strength.
If you want to go to the west and the frontal battlefield, you must go back to Zudasa and start again from the main city. In this case, the eastern battlefield of Targhib will be empty.
When the orcs invade here again, will they have to run back to put out the fire?
Of those options, the boat would be further east, where there were a couple of troll ports.
However, to do so would require a long detour, even farther than to support the Western Front and the frontal battlefield.
Without these few choices, the only thing that can quickly reach the orc base camp and complete Tonatiu's original idea of attacking the orcs with Naga is completed.
The only option is to cross the jungle with the support of animal companions from the Targhab region, and go all the way north to attack the orc base camp head-on.
Since there is only this road, there are only so many troops, and the terrain does not allow the expeditionary force to play any tricks.
Natonatiu's adventurous move to lead an expeditionary force to attack the orc base camp was the only two options.
Fast, attack the enemy as fast as possible, kill and injure the enemy in large numbers before they are caught off guard, and then look for an opportunity to retreat.
Slow, stay safe while waiting for the enemy to change. After all, the orcs have to deal with three battlefields at the same time, and although the other two battlefields can't defeat the combined forces of orcs and blood trolls, they are not soft persimmons.
In any case, the other two battlefields of Zudasa could not defeat the enemy. Involving a large number of orc armies, so that the orcs can't fully deal with this enemy under their noses, they can still do it to this extent.
It's been four days since the Dreadlord discovered the traces of the expeditionary force, and the orcs have not sent a large army to resist except for sending a large number of scouts.
In Tonatyu's view, it is for this reason.
Deep down, he favored the former in two of Dezla's two approaches.
Slowly press your way through and pose a threat to the orcs, and if possible, let them withdraw the armies of the other two battlefields against themselves, which will reduce the pressure on Zudasa's side.
At the same time, it is safer for the expeditionary force, and if the situation is not right, it can also retreat.
If the expeditionary force wants to run through the forest, with the help of the jungle and animal companions, they can run back to the Targhib area faster than the orcs.
At this point, Tonatiu still feels that there is no problem.
Dezra and High Priest Lezan, as well as Akama, watched him silently, waiting for him to make a decision.
Tonatiu no longer hesitated.
It's better to make a bad decision than not to make a decision.
He was about to speak.
"The sooner the better."
An ethereal voice came from behind with a hint of exhaustion.
I saw the Sentinel General of Cadore, sitting on a huge black bear with a blank face - there was no bear in Talgrab, and the expeditionary force did not have a bear mount, and this big bear could only be transformed by the druid of Cadore.
"The Kadore army is about to land on the coastline to the east, and they will march west along the Broken River to attack the orcs from the east!"
"We're going to flank the orcs left and right."
"So the sooner the better."
The bear walked slowly, and Santis said slowly.
