It was the first time Raphael had played the lead role on such a formal occasion. Standing in front of so many people, especially everyone's identity and strength far surpass her, among which there are heroes and even legendary powerhouses, to scold Fang Xuan under their gaze, for a girl who has just been out of a miserable life for less than a year, it is a great mental pressure.

Fortunately, everyone here has the greatest kindness to this kind and strong girl. Especially Lana and the others, their strength can't have their own seats like those hero-level powerhouses, so they all stand aside. Seeing that Raphael was a little at a loss, they all made a gesture of cheering to express their support for Raphael.

"Ahem! Don't be nervous, kid, just do what you normally do! As I said, your performance all the time is enough to make you proud! Count Pierre said with a smile.

Raphael nodded, opened the notepad in his hand and said, "Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to attend this meeting. I will next announce a series of military arrangements for the expeditionary force to march into the Silver Pine Forest, and if you have any questions or objections, please raise them after I have finished. If there are no objections, this schedule will become the plan of action for the next expeditionary force and cannot be changed without permission. ”

"The expeditionary force will begin its march on the border of the Silver Pines Forest and the Hills of Hillsbrad on the morning of May 13, 338 A.D., the day after tomorrow. The units that have joined this sequence of operations are as follows. ”

"The Arnas Empire sent the first army and the second legion with a total of 22,000 men, and the commander is Rasfir Arnas."

"The Seventh Legion of the Almerian Empire has 20,000 men, and its commander is Komel Almeria."

"The First Expeditionary Regiment of the Kingdom of Raphinha consisted of seven thousand five hundred, and its commander was Norman Bogst."

"The 1st Legion, the 1st 2nd Legion, and the Royal Legion of the Kingdom of Banster are 35,000 men, and the commander is Chemon Banner."

"The Oberline Kingdom sent an army of three thousand men, and the commander was Borian Polka."

"The Satalin Kingdom Task Force consists of 2,000 men, and its commander is Rana Sadalin."

"The Principality of Giraldine Task Force is three thousand five hundred men, and the commander is Pyrin Girardin."

"These troops will be the first advance corps of the expeditionary force to march to the border of the Silver Pine Forest and set up camp. The grouping at the time of departure is as follows. ”

"The First Legion of the Kingdom of Banster, the Royal Legion, the First Dispatch Army of the Kingdom of Oberline, and the Task Force of the Duchy of Giraldine were organized into the First Legion of the Expeditionary Force, with a total of 26,500 men, and set out promptly at 6 o'clock in the morning of May 13. Unless there are exceptional circumstances, arrive at the scheduled camp no later than 6 p.m. on 15 May. The commander of the corps was Borian Polka. ”

"The Seventh Legion of the Almerian Empire, the First Expeditionary Legion of the Kingdom of Raphinha was organized into the Second Expeditionary Force, with a total of 27,000 men, and set out promptly at 6 a.m. on May 14 to escort and escort supplies to the forward camp, arriving at its destination no later than 6 p.m. on May 16, unless there were exceptional circumstances. The regiment commander was Norman Bogst. ”

"The Arnas Empire sent the 1st and 2nd Legions, and the 2nd Legion of the Banster Kingdom to form the 3rd and 4th Expeditionary Forces, with a total of 37,000 men, and set out on time at 6 o'clock in the morning of May 15. Unless there are exceptional circumstances, the arrival time at the camp should be no later than 6 p.m. on May 17. The commander of the 3rd Regiment was Rasfil Arnas, and the commander of the 4th Regiment was Tadlar. ”

"The Satdarin Kingdom Task Force will be organized into an expeditionary force task force, which will set off early at 6 a.m. on May 12, explore along the planned march route, and report to the First Expeditionary Force following you at any time as a scout."

"The above is the sequence and formation of all the troops in the march, and the troops not included in the marching sequence will be unified into the Fifth Army Corps of the Expeditionary Force, which will be responsible for the defense of Nanhai Town and escort logistics materials to the front-line camp as required."

"Do you have any questions?"

Although she was nervous at first, as orders were given from Raphael's mouth, she quickly stepped into the role, and communicated the upcoming military operation to everyone in a coherent manner.

As Raphael asked, the attendees in the room immediately began to whisper. Pierre couldn't stand it anymore and coughed: "Ahem! Ladies and gentlemen, this is a military meeting, so if you have any questions, just ask them! Don't forget who you are and what you do! ”

"His Highness Raphael! Where exactly is the scheduled camp located? Where is there enough space to deploy troops? According to the arrangement just mentioned, the total number of troops marching this time will exceed 100,000. I don't think such a large force can be housed in a single camp. The question was asked by Cormel Almeria, the second daughter of Queen Fiona, who had little hope of succeeding to the throne, so she had been studying military command from the elders of her family since she was a child.

Even in the real era of cold weapons, when the army is encamped, the number of soldiers in a camp will not be too large. There are a large number of historical records in China alone, such as the Warring States Period, when Qin and Zhao Changping fought the Great War, Zhao sent 400,000 troops, and it is said that the camp stretched for hundreds of miles. There is also the battle of Yiling in which Liu Bei attacked Eastern Wu during the Three Kingdoms period, the Shu army was 50,000 (it is also said that even the people added up to more than 100,000), and the battalion was 100 miles, but it was burned by Lu Xun.

The main reason for this is to reduce the number of soldiers per unit area, and thus reduce the need for water. Think about it, if more than 100,000 people are crammed into a camp, how to make sure the soldiers drink enough water every day can give the leading generals a headache.

In the world of Ntagre, the problem of camping is even more serious. Because there's such an unscientific thing as magic here. A war magic with ordinary effects can cover at least a range of several thousand square meters, and in the face of a humanoid nuclear bomb like a magician, unless you have an equally powerful magician who can ensure that you will not be wiped out, you will definitely spread the troops as far as possible.

"The location of the camp stretched from the edge of the Alterac Mountains to the Hillsbrad Plains, and according to the previous formation, each regiment had its own camp, and the distance between the camps would not exceed thirty kilometers." This problem has been arranged for a long time, and of course it is impossible for as many as 100,000 troops to be crowded together, so that the superiority in the number of the expeditionary force cannot be fully utilized, and the command of the various legions will also be disturbed.

"How to ensure the safety of logistics routes? According to what you said, the distance between the front-line camp and the town of Nanhai, the convoy will take at least two days to complete. As far as I know, the trolls on Shattered Ridge were only slightly defeated last time, and they didn't really give up their plot against the entire Hillsbrad Hills, and if those trolls attacked our logistical lines......" The question was Norman Bogst, a heroic knight of the Raphinha Kingdom and the commander of the army sent by the Raphinha Kingdom this time. He was an experienced general with more than thirty years in the army, commanding the armies of the Raphinian Kingdom in more than a dozen wars, large and small.

Raphael nodded at the general: "There are two supply lines, and most of the supplies will be provided by Nanhai Town in the early stage, and the Fifth Army will be responsible for sending people to escort them all the way." Once the front-line troops enter the Silver Pine Forest, the starting point for supplies will be changed from Nanhai Town to Jasper Mine, where construction of a temporary dock will be underway for transport ships to dock. As for the trolls on Broken Ridge, we don't have the ability to deal with them for the time being, and when the time comes, we will let those civilians be responsible for monitoring the situation around Broken Ridge, which should ensure that those trolls' movements are detected in advance. ”

Raphael has already made a lot of preparations for this, and with Yu Bin mentioning it on the side, all the problems that may be encountered have been prepared with relatively complete solutions. As she spoke at the meeting, everyone was very pleased with the military plan.

"There are a total of five Heroic and one Legendary Commander who will follow the expeditionary force, and Lord Pierre and I will set off with the First Legion, including Lord Dalton. Lord Norman Bogst will be in charge of the Second Legion, His Highness Rasfel's Magical Advisor Vain Beinstead will be in charge of the Third Legion, Lord Tadelar will be in charge of the Fourth Legion, and Archmage Matthew Slenin will follow the Fourth Legion with a group of alchemists. ”

High-end combat power is a must, otherwise relying on ordinary soldiers alone, once the enemy dispatches heroic-level powerhouses, they will fall into great passivity, and have to rely on a large number of casualties in exchange for the enemy's retreat. And the town of Nanhai also needs someone to stay behind to prevent the orcs of Dunhold Castle from suddenly taking the lair of the expeditionary force.

There was no opinion on Raphael's plan. Pierre, including Pierre, felt that the plan had taken care of all aspects and had taken into account all eventualities.

Raphael then explained in detail how the expeditionary force would fight once it entered the Silver Pine Forest.

Unlike the Hillsbrad Hills, the Silverpine Forest is not suitable for large armies, and the shattered mountains and dense forests make it almost impossible for an army of more than 5,000 men to be deployed at the same time, in which case the entire expeditionary force will inevitably fall into a situation of fighting on its own.

This is also the reason why she divided the expeditionary force into four legions, as the large corps simply could not maintain a complete formation in the Silver Pine Forest.

Therefore, the combat policy formulated by Yu Bin for her is eight words: advance layer by layer, step by step!

Once each legion has secured its camp on the border of the Silverpine Forest, it will be divided into three, with one-third of the soldiers remaining at the camp, one-third of the soldiers scattered into combat squads ranging from a few dozen to hundreds of men, advancing towards Shadowfang Castle with the help of the player to rid them of werewolves encountered along the way, and the last third of the soldiers will be responsible for setting up a new camp after the attacking forces have advanced a certain distance.

Like a wheel, the soldiers of these three parts will rotate continuously, the soldiers who have established a new camp will immediately move to the defense, the soldiers who will be in charge of advancing will start to build the next new camp, and the soldiers who have previously guarded the camp will join the front line of the battle after recuperating and will be responsible for continuing the advance.

In previous lives, this tactic was developed after successive human attacks on the Silver Pine Forest were thwarted. Relying on this conservative tactic of advancing layer by layer, strict defense, and step-by-step, the werewolf's range of activity was compressed to the vicinity of Shadow Fang Castle little by little, and finally the Shadow Fang Castle was encircled, and then relying on sufficient troop advantage and high-end combat power to take Arugao's lair in one fell swoop.

As for the werewolves scattered in other areas of the Silver Pine Forest, as long as they wait for the defeat of Arugao and the awarding of the head, the werewolves that have lost their follow-up replenishment will be eliminated little by little under the joint search of the expeditionary force and the player.

The only drawback to this tactic is that it requires more supplies and takes longer. But this is exactly what Yu Bin aims, only in this way will he have enough time to solve the problem of Maltan first, and then find an opportunity to snatch food from the hands of the expeditionary force and bite off as much meat as possible.

As for the Holy See of Light and the various human kingdoms, they are also inclined to this more secure plan. The previous defense of Nanhai Town really scared them a little, if it wasn't for the fact that the battle ended in a crushing victory for the expeditionary force, I'm afraid they were still trying to find a way to take Nanhai Town back from those werewolves at this time. In contrast, Raphael's tactics were not only effective in reducing the losses of the expeditionary force, but also ensuring that there would not be too much risk in the course of the entire campaign.

On the other hand, players are also very satisfied with this tactic. Because it means that they are able to gain as much experience and merit as possible with the support of those Indigenous soldiers. At this time, the number of players active in the Hillsbrad Hills has reached nearly 100,000, which is a very powerful force that, if used well, can even determine the course of this battle.

After the meeting, Lana, Mona, Catherine and the others took the initiative to stay and find Raphael. After the end of the defensive battle, Raphael, with the support of Lana and others, began to prepare for the establishment of the Angelic Covenant. At first, they just thought that they could further strengthen their relationship through such an organization, and at the same time manage the players who remained in Nanhai Town as much as possible.

However, at Yu Bin's suggestion, Raphael persuaded Lana to inform Tadelal of the matter, and Tadelal immediately reported it to Meladel and the Pope. The archpriest believes that although those players are free and scattered, and only fight with the wind, there are still some people who have made a significant contribution to the final victory of the defense of Nanhai Town. Considering that the expeditionary force would advance towards the Silver Pines Forest in the future, he thought that the Holy See of Light should come forward to support Raphael's idea and bring this part of the force into the control of the Holy See in advance.

As a result, the covenant of angels, which was openly supported by the Holy See of Light, was established at a rapid pace. Especially for those players who want to join the Holy See of Light and become a Light Priest or Paladin, if they can join the Angel Covenant, it is equivalent to getting a ticket to the two professions. For a time, the servants gathered.

In addition to the Angelic Covenant as the main guild, Raphael also established four chapters: Angel Wings, Angel Shield, Angel Sword, and Angel Light. Angel's Covenant only recruits female players, or female natives. The four guilds are not gender-restricted, among which Angel Wings is mainly composed of rogue, archer, mage and other classes, and Angel Shield is composed of shield knights and shield warriors, which is considered the base camp of the tank class. Angel Sword recruits all kinds of warriors and knight professions, and Angel Light is mostly composed of male priests, which is considered a group of nurses.
