Chapter 488: The Giant Tribe
Although they had expected it before, hearing the lord's order to include large tribes in the attack range, everyone was still shocked, and the scout leader Histan shouted to obey!
However, to everyone's surprise, only one day later, the leader of the scouts, Histan, sent news that a large tribe of giant warriors had been found on the main migration route.
This was the first giant warrior tribe that Li Ran had discovered so far, and at the same time, Li Ran hurriedly asked people to call this scout who came back to report the news.
Because of the reason that has just been discovered, the detailed information of this giant tribe has not come out, and it is only known that the number of adult warriors is about 3,000, of which the eleventh-order one-eyed slinger giant accounts for more than half of about 2,200. In addition, there are twelfth-order furious rock giants, with about five or six hundred people, and there are also hundreds of thirteenth-order top-level furious eye giants.
In addition, this giant tribe also has a subordinate race, the poisonous lizard half-orc cavalry, the number of which is about 1,000 people, and its rank has also reached a high-level standard, and there are about 3,000 underage warriors and clansmen in these two races.
Hearing this, Li Ran thought for a moment and asked the scout to leave, then summoned the others and decided to discuss.
As soon as they heard this information, everyone was excited, but then fell silent.
After a while, Zhou Xun first stood up and said: "Although the existing forces in the territory are not weaker than this giant tribe, because they are stationed everywhere, the troops of the Endless Snow Region cannot be transferred in time, and the number of troops that can be assembled in two days is not stronger than this giant tribe, but the bravery of the giant warriors is famous." Whether it's a long-range or melee attack, our fighters don't have any advantage. And they also have thousands of poisonous lizard half-orc cavalry of unknown ability. It's hard to guarantee victory in the battle, so I'm not in favor of making a move on this giant tribe this time"
There was a first person who expressed an opinion. The others also came forward one after another, and most of them still agreed with Zhou Xun that it was dangerous to fight so many giant warriors in the wild.
Of course, in addition to these opinions, some people also put forward different ideas, Ziyun Huakai, Zhang Debiao, Zheng Haitao and Sun Jianye's four teammates, as well as several leaders like Saquill, including the high rock minotaur shaman Luguge, are still more inclined to take down this giant tribe, for which they give some of their own reasons.
First, they thought that these giant warriors had migrated back. It's impossible to carry a lot of rocks, so if they launch a surprise attack, the opponent's good ranged ability won't be able to exert much.
The second point is that these giant warriors cannot always be at the peak of their physical strength after the long apprentice trek, and they will definitely decline, which is the biggest advantage to win them.
As for the third point, they felt that even if the mass migration of these large tribes and biota had just begun, no one could guarantee that they would be able to meet a tribe that was within the strength of their territory and could fight. And at this time, the appearance of this giant tribe, the territory should seize this opportunity. If you win, the strength of the territory will definitely have a qualitative leap, and it will be easier to face other tribes in the future.
Because of Li Ran's anger last time, even if he had different opinions in the conference hall at this time. Everyone didn't dare to insult and attack each other anymore, but gave their opinions and reasons one after another, and expressed their reasons and opinions in the field.
At this time, Xia Houben, who was more supportive of Zhou Xun's concept, also said on the side: "Although we have fought a lot of battles before. However, in addition to defensive warfare, the vast majority of outings were confined to small-scale operations. Even when the two main cities were captured in the underworld, they didn't really experience a battle. Therefore, the experience of cooperation between the arms is still limited, and I am afraid that if I dare to deal with such a big field battle, I am afraid that I will not be able to fully command, and then the combat effectiveness will drop a lot, and I am afraid that there will be danger in the face of giant warriors of equal strength."
Zhou Xun and Xia Houben, who did not support the battle, one was out of consideration of the number of troops, and the other was out of consideration of morale, which can be said to be to the point, so that the people who supported the battle had nothing to say, but to let go of this opportunity, they were still unwilling, so they had to desperately search for the weakness of the giant warrior in their minds.
But after thinking about it for a long time, as a powerful warrior known for the barbarian race, the attacks of these giant warriors can be far and near, and their size and strength are superb, although the action is not too fast, but the other party obviously also takes this into account, and there are thousands of high-level poisonous lizard cavalry, they really can't find their weaknesses, and they are red-faced by the side that does not support the battle for a while, but they just can't find a good way.
In this case, soon there was only one voice left in the conference hall, and after a while, they all turned their eyes to Li Ran.
However, when they saw Li Ran's gaze, they knew that this matter did not end there, because in his eyes, the usual gentleness and tolerance were gone, and more of them were dissatisfaction.
Especially when he cast these dissatisfied eyes on a few people who supported the battle, Zhang Debiao, Ziyun Huahua, and several leaders couldn't help but bow their heads and began to regret their decision.
"Is that all you had to say about the fight in the first place?" Looking at these people, Li Ran's tone was obviously a little big.
Looking at Li Ran, who was obviously a little angry, everyone didn't know what to do for a while, especially the four teammates Ziyun Huakai, Zhang Debiao, Zheng Haitao and Sun Jianye, who were a little at a loss for a while, and they all lowered their heads silently.
After a long time, Zhou Xun on the side persuaded: "It may be that they didn't think about it enough, and they didn't think that in addition to the limitation of troops, there is also morale and cooperation."
But this time, Li Ran didn't wait for him to finish, he directly waved his hand to interrupt his words, staring at the vast majority of other people who did not support the battle, including Zhou Xun and asked: "And you, in addition to coming up with these reasons for not supporting, have you ever thought that from the perspective of the development of the territory, these giant warriors are really needed, how can you win this battle?" ”
At this moment, everyone was a little confused, and those who knew the former, such as Xia Houben, Wu Tongtong and others, quickly understood Li Ran's intentions and views.
At this time, Li Ran turned his head to look at Zhang Debiao, Ziyun Huakai and the others and said: "Just now you already have a view of supporting the war, and it is also very correct, but why is there no countermeasure and solution in the face of their questions and views?" Can we defeat the enemy based on opinions alone? ”
Li Ran's tone became softer and softer, but everyone had a feeling of sitting on pins and needles at the moment, and Zhang Debiao and the others who were questioned didn't know how to answer, and there was silence in the venue for a while. (To be continued.) )
