Chapter 183: Battle of the Star Gate X
Su Changfeng's expression was serious and silent in the communication screen.
"That's pretty much what happens in the North."
"Our opponent is an army, or at least a semi-military organization, and although the organization and discipline of the army in this era are also worrying, at least it is far superior to yours. So now that the temple has given the order, the assembled Grey Knights will be able to attack the Electors in various areas.
Their main targets are the major guilds - there are about twenty-two of the largest guilds in the north, except for the Silver Spear and the Silver Vislan - and they have all suffered varying losses in their previous attacks, and have now lost most of their organizational abilities.
At present, there are almost 230,000 recruits in the north, but due to distance, communication conditions, and other reasons, there is no guarantee that every one of them will be recruited, and most of them must also be deducted from non-combat professionals, so there are not many people who can respond to call-ups in the battlefield area, and among these people, most of the draftees are composed of loose organizations of individuals, small groups, and teams, without the organization of the above-mentioned guilds as the backbone, it is difficult for them to unite and fight and carry out a specific mission goal. ”
Su Changfeng sighed: "In fact, now the Electors are divided into different regions and fight separately, which can basically be described as a plate of scattered sand. ”
Fang Yu silently listened to Su Changfeng's brief description of the current situation.
Due to the restoration of communication, they also contacted the Xingmen Port side - of course, there were far more than him and Su Changfeng in this communication, in addition to the people of Silver Vislan, there were also images of captains and major guild leaders and heads of regiments in the surrounding light screens.
And the guys from the Jeffrey Redcoats -
It can be said that all the people in the fleet who are qualified to participate in this meeting are here at this moment, and as for the others, they also gathered on their respective ships to watch this scene.
The military doesn't often meddle in the affairs of the Electors, but every time it does, something big happens, not to mention that it's still 'Call Up Order Five' - everyone understands what the North is facing at this moment.
Sylvid was standing behind Fang Yu vividly, holding a notebook and carrying a pen, while taking charge of recording with a serious expression, and on the other hand, when Su Changfeng raised relevant questions, he was instructed by Fang Yu to give back the general situation of their fleet at this moment.
Su Changfeng had specially greeted this young lady before, as the daughter of Sir Ma Wei, Miss Ship Officer was also a subtle and special existence on this ship at the moment.
However, in fact, the two had already met once in Hengfeng Harbor, and as for Sylvide's identity, it was already in the hands of the military as early as Van Rik.
Of course, Su Changfeng did this just so as not to directly expose the true relationship between the Seven Seas Brigade and the military.
In other words, he was representing Stargate Harbor to deal with everyone in the group, and even the Jeffreyt Redcoats, not just Fang Yu and his party.
However, as the person who went to the Star and Moon Council to reveal the true face of the Crowclaw Sanctuary and triggered the 'No. 5 Summoning Order' to a certain extent, in fact, the military gave Fang Yu a certain degree of attention, which was not surprising to others.
What's more, with the aura of Sir Ma Wei's 'two daughters', no matter how weird it is, it doesn't seem so weird.
Only those who already have some inside information, such as Silver Vislan and Silver Forest Spear, can roughly guess what the relationship between the Seven Seas Brigade and the military is.
Su Changfeng was standing next to him at this moment, a person who was a little eye-catching in Fang Yuan's opinion, the other party was not wearing a military uniform, wearing a short ponytail, and he didn't look like a professional soldier, he was twenty-seven or eighteen years old.
Fang Yu noticed that the other party's gaze had been on him from the beginning, and he felt a little surprised in his heart, but after looking at the other party carefully, he felt that he seemed to have seen the other party somewhere.
He thought for a moment before it dawned on him, wasn't that the famous travel anchor of Aitalia, the 'Wandering Horse'?
Long before coming to this world, he had watched some videos of the other party, although not much, but he also learned some about the customs of Aitalia through the other party's introduction. However, if you really have an impression of him, it can be traced back to the craftsman competition in Al Pahin, when the other party's video about him was widely circulated in the community, and Fang Yu watched it no less than ten times, either passively or actively.
How did this man get involved with the military?
Fang Yu was stunned for a moment and then suddenly realized that the military could find him, obviously this person's video made a lot of effort, maybe they had already cooperated at that time.
Thinking of this, Fang Yu no longer cared about the other party's gaze, but Su Changfeng's words not long ago couldn't help but make him fall into silence.
He has always disliked large guilds, but he also has to admit the necessity of the existence of large guilds, in terms of organization, in terms of response to large events, well-organized guilds are far better than individuals who fight alone. Not to mention that in a war, the strength of a large guild is far beyond that of an individual and a loose group.
However, he does not blindly deny this, and he is a supporter of the Free Elect, but that does not mean that he should oppose all guild organizations. Because even in the time of the Precursors, guilds of free electors such as the Knights of Tapolis Oak existed, not to mention the glorious era of the Ten Dynasty period, which was also laid by large guilds such as the Rose Crusaders and Silver Vislan.
Fang Yu knew that what he hated was actually nothing more than the bullying behavior of the Super Athletic Alliance and the two major guild alliances.
People are wary of the monopoly of the Great Guilds on the affairs and discourse of Aitalia, because of the nature exposed by the Battle of Covenant Mountain, and once these people have absolute power, it will lead to absolute oppression.
The evil of the Battle of Mount Covenant will only be repeated over and over again, just as it is now.
That is the opposite of what the Electors have been pursuing since the Stargate Age, so the conflict has always been nothing more than a confrontation between greed and ideals, not an instinctive conflict between individuals and large guilds.
Of course, the latter will not necessarily bring the former, Fang Yu didn't think so, at least among the many large guilds he had seen, there were also outliers such as Silver Vislan, Elite, and Oak Knights.
Therefore, he was silent for a moment, and suddenly spoke: "In the plan of the Crow's Claw Temple, the shadow people should have already infiltrated the upper echelons of the major guilds, with the existence of these inner ghosts, coupled with the defection of the Super Athletic Alliance itself, it is normal for these guilds to fall into chaos under the sudden attack. ”
Fang Yu couldn't help but look at the people of Silver Vislan and the Silver Forest Spear, it was for this reason that he had gone to Gulla. Because of the first attack, he barely managed to keep the two largest guild forces in the north in advance, and pulled out such a fleet from Gula Harbor.
He looked at the people of the Jeffrey Redcoats on the screen again, as for these people, it was a surprise for him, the Jeffrey Redcoats were able to save themselves, which made him look up to the other party.
However, it seems that there should be a lot of situations like the Jeffrey Redcoats, and there should be a part of the fleet of the Flor Descendants in the North that they can fight for.
It's just that it has little to do with what Fang Yu is thinking of at the moment for the time being, so it can only be put aside for the time being, as for the silver veslan and the silver forest spear, the internal method of identifying the shadow people is very crude and simple - they directly made everyone commit suicide once after boarding the ship, and then reborn at the resurrection point on the ship.
This method was unthinkable, but it was also very effective, the shadow people did not have the ability to resurrect in this world, or rather, they were unlikely to be blessed by the saints of Orin.
The two guilds did this, although they lost Starlight, but they directly purified the team from the inside, and it was difficult for ordinary people to make such a choice, especially when it also involved elite members like Bai Xue and Ignatz. But on the other hand, if there are still internal ghosts within the guild in an important battle, the losses will only be greater, so it is understandable for the two guilds to make this choice.
However, this allowed Fang Yu to see the action and decisiveness of large guilds, which can be said to be breathtaking.
And the emergence of these two most important guilds in the north from Gula also guaranteed his next plan, and the direction of the development of things was actually not much different from what he expected.
Fang Yu continued: "However, judging from the situation of the Silver Forest Spear and the Silver Vislan, the Shadow Person's infiltration of us is only limited to the upper echelons for the time being, and with the Fifth Conscription Order already issued, the chaos in the major guilds will only be temporary. With the internal ghosts eliminated, the remaining high-level personnel of the major guilds in the north should be able to reorganize the guild members, but the Crow's Paw Temple is now attacking the major guilds, and it will not be easy to give them this opportunity. ”
"Ed," Su Changfeng's eyes flashed with a hint of color, and he asked, "Do you have any plans?" ”
To be honest, he wasn't really optimistic about what the fleet brought out by Fang Yu could do.
At the moment, the battle clouds in the north are thick, whether it is the Crowclaw Sanctuary or the 'Shadow Man', the strength is not bad, and it is still unknown whether the two fleets will be able to reach Elpahim when combined.
But even if they arrive at Elpahim, the fleets that the Shadowmen are now refracting to this world through the portal passage will only be stronger than them, not weaker. Even if they go all the way to the city, the other party can still wait in that place.
But Su Changfeng knew that Fang Yu was by no means a rigid dogmatist.
He has been in contact with this young man since Van Rik, and it is not a day or two to understand the other party, and he knows in his heart that although the other party is a little confused on weekdays, he often loses everything and always causes some trouble. But at a critical juncture, he can quickly regain his composure and find out the crux of the problem.
What's even more commendable is that the other party is still tenacious and never gives up easily. This is what he thinks most about the other party, whether a Recruiter can succeed and reach that ultimate height, his own character and experience determine everything to a large extent - and talent is just a condition that is somewhat necessary but never sufficient.
In fact, from Dorifinn to Van Rik, from Fenris to Istania, the experience of the other party along the way all shows this.
His greatest confidence in the north at the moment, in addition to the long-term arrangement and plan of Xingmen Port, is in this young man.
However, after asking this sentence, Su Changfeng couldn't help coughing lightly, realizing that he was acting a little too urgently, so he changed his words: "Regardless of whether the plan is feasible or not, but brainstorming right now, saying it can always provide some ideas for others." ”
The command bridge seemed a little quiet, and the others did not express any different opinions, which made Su Changfeng, who had finished speaking, secretly a little surprised. Fang Yu and his party were more authoritative in this fleet than he had imagined, and it would not surprise him if it was Bai Xue, Ignatz, or the Spear of the Silver Forest who spoke before, but the identity of the Seven Seas Brigade was obviously not convincing to the public.
But he glanced at Sylvid, who was standing behind Fang Yuan, and had some general understanding in his heart.
It is difficult for ordinary people to imagine the status of Marwey-Ebert in Cowlin-Ihurian.
Ever since the discovery of the Second World, the Great Explorer has enjoyed a naturally noble status in Aitaria itself.
It was a symbol of the kingdom's strength and status, and half of its prosperity today was brought about by the large and small ships that traveled to the Second World, and the frontier explorers brought a steady stream of goods, wealth, knowledge, and prestige to their homeland from the Second World.
And among them, the legendary captain is undoubtedly the most dazzling.
If you remember what happened in Istania, the elder brother of Celestia's deceased mother, the desert people are one of the greatest heroes of their time, and even the Sand King is not immune to his influence and is bent on rebuilding the ship to the Second World.
But all the explorers and shipowners in the whole of Kaulin-Ishurian are overshadowed by the name of Mawe-Ebert.
To what extent is the influence of this captain that he can even influence the political struggle in the center of royal power, and even the prime minister under the high power is also coveting his fame in the second world.
In Su Changfeng's view, only the ignorant little guy in front of him doesn't understand his identity and status.
"It's the lucky little one."
He couldn't help but shake his head amusedly, but when he remembered his daughter's matter, he couldn't help but be a little annoyed.
And Fang Yu obviously didn't realize that Su Changfeng could have such complex mental activities between a question, he just nodded along with this question:
"I have a plan."
"If the Crowtalon Sanctuary isn't going to give the major guilds in the North a respite and give them time to regroup, maybe we can give them that chance."
"Oh?" Su Changfeng asked unexpectedly, "What are you going to do?" ”
"I understand," Bai Xue and Canghai Guzhou also reacted at this time, and the two of them said in unison. However, Bai Xue obviously didn't expect someone to think of it with her, raised her head to look at the commander of the Jeffrey Redcoat team, raised her eyebrows and said, "You might as well talk about it first, Lone Boat?" ”
Canghai Guzhou looked at Fang Yu and said: "The mobilization of the Crow's Claw Temple in the entire northern territory is nothing more than to avoid the consensus of the Electors, although the Drafters are scattered, whether it is an individual or a team, the combat effectiveness is actually above the natives. And even if we can't mobilize everyone, the number of drafts in the area around Elpahim is far greater than the Grey Knights and Monks under the command of the Ravental Temple. ”
What he said was just common sense, and the total population of the Elect in Aitalia was naturally much smaller than that of the natives. But in addition to life occupations, almost all of the recruits are full-time soldiers, and even if they are life occupations, they have more or less something to do with combat.
It is naturally impossible to achieve such a high proportion of combatants among the indigenous population, and even fewer of them belong to the Crow'claw Temple.
In short, the Electors surpassed the Ravental Temple, both in quantity and quality. The two sides may be similar in terms of high-end combat power, but below the high-end, it is basically a crushing level.
However, the Crowclaw Sanctuary gave full play to the advantages of its organizational ability, and preemptively divided the Elect, forcing them to fall into a situation of fighting on their own, and the Electors in a scattered state naturally could not easily defeat the army of the Crowclaw Temple.
The Crowpaw Temple apparently hoped to use this to buy time for their plans in Elpahim.
In fact, from the beginning of the interception of stargate communication, the other party has been planning to do so.
“…… The Crowclaw Sanctuary is actually afraid to see such a new force appear on the battlefield, which can unite the scattered Electors and form an absolute superiority over them, and push it to the city of Elpahim," the Lonely Boat continued, "Their plan can be said to be successful, but at the moment it is missing a link. ”
He glanced at Fang Yu again, and there was something incomprehensible in his eyes: "Mr. Eddard brought out this fleet from Gula Harbor, and it was something that was beyond the calculation of the Crowclaw Temple. In addition to the Spear of the Silver Forest and the Silver Visa, there are a total of twenty-two large guilds in the North, but this actually means that there are twenty-four large guilds in the North, and the Spear of the Silver Forest and the Silver Vislan are actually the two most important territories. ”
"Right now, we, as well as the Silver Forest Spear and the Silver Vislan, are well preserved, although there are only two branches of men, but at least there is still this fleet," Canghai Lonely Boat stopped and said word by word: "In other words, although it is still a little weak, in fact, a new force has appeared on the battlefield in the north right now." ”
"That's us?"
Blackbow under the bridge looked up at this scene and couldn't help but ask in a low voice.
But no one answered him, but Kweed, who was a little silent, gently patted his old subordinate on the shoulder.
Blackcock was stunned for a moment and turned around: "Captain? ”
Kweed didn't speak, just looked at the other in silence, but Blackbow saw another meaning in that gaze.
There's more than one force in the North right now.
Yes, he suddenly realized something.
But on the bridge, the conversation continued. This time it was Bai Xue who spoke: "Yes, what other guilds can do, we can do too." We can be the center of this battlefield, and with the influence of Silver Vislan and the Spear of the Silver Forest, it shouldn't be difficult to unify the others, the key problem is that we need to gather some people first......"
When she said this, her eyes flashed, and she suddenly looked at Fang Yuan, and glanced at the latter with a look like a monster. “…… Wait, you're not going to think about using us early in the morning, are you? ”
Bai Xue stopped: "...... that letter?" ”
Fang Yu shook his head, he had this plan, but of course it wasn't refined to this point.
However, Gula Harbor is indeed a gathering place for the Electors in the North, and the Crowclaw Temple is the first to attack in Gula, presumably because of this factor, they plan to disintegrate the power of the Electors first.
Obviously, the other party knows very well which side is the real threat to him.
It's just that they didn't expect that they would be cut off first, and his original idea was to pull out any of the forces of the Silver Veslan or the Silver Forest Spear, plus the other large guilds in Gula Harbor, and the one at hand, it should be enough.
But the result was clearly beyond his expectations, not only were the Spear of the Silver Forest and the Silver Vislan on his side, but they also encountered the fleet of the Jeffrey Redcoats.
With these three forces, they can already dominate the game on this battlefield.
"What are you going to do?" Su Changfeng asked.
"We need the military's emergency communications rights, which can broadcast our location to the entire battlefield, and first let the nearest Elect converge with us to our predetermined area," Fang Yu replied, "and then join us in opening the Charter City-Elpahim Passage." ”
Su Changfeng pondered for a moment before he said: "Your thoughts actually coincide with the military's plan, but it will be very risky to do so, right now, the entire northern sky is full of fleets of shadow people, as well as the minions of the Crowclaw Temple, they will not let you open this passage easily......"
"What's more," he paused, "the military's fleet has just passed through the Rainbow Sky Gorge, and it will probably take a few hours to support you, and you ...... the strength you have."
"We don't necessarily need to win head-on," Fang Yu replied, he had already thought about this, "Just like Mr. Canghai Guzhou said before, there is not only one of us on the battlefield, what we need to do is to attract the power of the Crowclaw Sanctuary and the Shadow Man to give the other guilds a chance to breathe. ”
"So ......?" Su Changfeng seemed to think of something: "Can you really withstand this pressure?" ”
"Not necessarily," Fang Yu replied, this was the biggest variable in this battle, but he glanced at his ship's officer, and replied softly, "But as long as you resist it, then the time for a counterattack will come." ”
"Okay," Su Changfeng nodded: "I will let the second and third detachments try to speed up the meeting with you, but until then, everything will depend on you." ”
There was some silence on the bridge for a moment, but after a moment, everyone on the screen nodded, as if in agreement.
It was nothing more than a big war, it happened thirty years ago, and it will be repeated thirty years later.
That is not their end, but their glory.
The glory of the Elect.
……
