Chapter 200 Q&A, Operation North Wind, Lazhuang Ding

A direct blow to the airship base where the goblins are located in the rear? I have to say that this half-elf Grand Arcanist's Jian yì is very smart, but also crazy enough. ,!

"Master Angelina, your mention is very constructive. But the question is, how can we bypass the frontal defense of the Goblin Legion and go more than 100 miles behind enemy lines to raid the opponent's precious workshop? Glancing at the other party in a moment's astonishment, Crete asked in a deep voice.

"yes. The southern flank of Jonville Valley has been completely blocked by the Allied forces of the Confederate coalition, and with the goblin airship scouting the sky, I don't think we'll have a chance to quietly penetrate the enemy's lines. Immediately, another city lord echoed him.

"Of course it won't work by road." Regarding the doubts of others, the half-elf was in his chest, and said leisurely.

"You can't go by road... What do you mean! Hearing this, the city lord of Belus suddenly seemed to react.

"Yes, we can detour from the west coast and land in the south by sea and then surprise and carry out precision strikes on targets in the enemy's rear." Angelina finally revealed her plan.

"By sea? Is this possible? Needless to say, such a suggestion, which is obviously different from the conventional perspective of thinking, immediately attracted a burst of discussion from everyone. However, since the beginning of historical records, it seems that there has never been a war in the pan-continent that has ever been such a battle.

"Why can't it be? Before the Battle of the Bulge, who would have thought of using goblin airships to implement the 'leapfrog strategy' and achieve miraculous results? The half-elf seems to be a very stubborn wise man, and resolutely refutes the doubts around him.

"I agree with Master Angelina. If we had only a few hundred elite assault troops, a maximum of three or so long-masted galleons would be enough to provide capacity. Moreover, the wind direction at this time of year is conducive to sailing from north to south. As long as the weather is right, I think one day and one night will be enough time for a fully sailed ship to complete the scheduled voyage. After a moment of silence in the venue, Lady Cold Spring suddenly voted in favor of the half-elf city lord with a clear stance.

"You have a point. However, there are three issues that we need to address first. Crete looked at the two Grand Arcanists separately and said.

"Tell me about it."

"One, as we all know, the west coast route of Bracada is a rather difficult route to follow. In the meantime, there are not only several reef areas and sea whirlpools, but also monsters such as krakens. Therefore, most of the caravans between the north and the south have been completed by land, because they are afraid of the high risks on the sea route. The city lord of Belus said first.

"Yes, that's true." The half-elf nodded.

"Second, we don't know anything about the location and defenses of the airship workshop that the goblins have set up to the south. Therefore, even if the commando team is successfully dispatched to the south, it will be difficult to play a role in the end, and if you are not careful, you will fall into the encirclement and suppression of the goblin garrison. Speaking of this, Crete paused slightly, and then followed up again: "As for the last question, because of the setting of the battlefield, all those troops who went to the south to carry out the raid mission, whether they succeed in the end or not, I am afraid it will be difficult to withdraw safely. Although this is an inevitable price, it is still too heavy for the Allies to lose hundreds of elite soldiers and mid-level professionals at once. ”

And after saying this, the city lord of Belus said no more, and returned the right to speak to the half-elves.

"Lord of Crete, your three questions are good. My answer to this is: for the dangerous sea routes with undulating waves, you can temporarily add a special magic sand table to the ship. Detection and sensing of the guò sand table to avoid the most dangerous reef areas and search for safe passage in the sea whirlpool area. As for the Kraken and other magical beasts, I think the special operations team, including mages and mid-level warriors, should have enough strength to deal with it. After thinking for about five minutes, the half-elf replied.

"Magic Sandbox... Well, it seems to be doable. The City Lord of Berus looked at the Grand Arcanist and nodded.

"As for your second question, the location of the goblin airship, I already have the answer." As he spoke, the half-elf took out a mottled map of animal leather from his sleeve, on which the names of places were delicately marked with pure black charcoal. Among these place names, about a dozen places have an additional sideline of a small airship pattern, which is obviously related to the goblin airship.

"What is this map?"

Quickly taking the beast leather from the Grand Arcanist, Crete scrutinized it. Sure enough, this map corresponds to a large area south of Bracada, which is clearly recognizable by Crete, the lord of the large city-state. However, on this map, there is a corner that seems to have been painted with some kind of dark red paint, making the original marker a little blurred.

"In order to get this map, I lost five of my best intelligence spies. The red color is the blood they shed. Looking at Crete's somewhat puzzled expression, the half-elf Grand Arcanist said coldly.

“… I see what you mean, Master Angelina. This bloodstain is the best answer to the third question. After a moment of staring at each other, the city lord of Beurus understood the meaning in the half-elf's eyes.

"So, ladies and gentlemen, do you have any opinion on Master Angelina's plan to attack the Southern Goblin Airship Factory by sea to contain the Yugoslav-Alliance aerial reconnaissance force?" Putting down the map of the airship workshop, Crete looked around at all the northern city lords beside the changing table, and said.

"I agree."

"That's all there is to it."

"In order to take out those goblin airships, it's worth fighting!"

There was only a moment of silence, and then the allied commanders all informed the raid plan proposed by Angelina, the lord of Rome City.

However, when the number of elites that each legion needed to be drawn to form a task force was determined, many small city-state lords said that they were afraid that they would not be able to draw out men in an evenly distributed manner due to their relatively weak strength. Because it has been made clear before that all these commandos, or death squads, are going to go nine times out of ten and never return. Therefore, for a small city-state that originally lacked high-end combat power and strong heritage, it was really reluctant and unreasonable to take out too many backbones to send them to death.

So, after several rounds of intense and unusual bargaining and mutual compromise, the three most powerful northern city-states, including Berus, Roma, and Aquamarine, would be responsible for the composition of forty percent of the commando, while the other dozen or so small and medium-sized city-states would bear the remaining sixty percent. As for the city-states of Stormwind and Crimson, which had been badly damaged in the previous battles of the Bulge and the Battle of Stormwind, they were completely exempt from manpower. However, in order to compensate for the "brave burden" of the three major city-states, the other human city-states will make statements in terms of materials and military spending.

"Lord Castle, who do you plan to select to participate in the execution of the 'Operation North Wind'?" In the headquarters of the Aquamarine Legion, after reading the memorandum of the plan for the sneak attack on the Goblin Airship Factory, Miguel and Cruyff silently looked at each other and asked softly.

"What do you have to say?" Smiling and looking at the two military confidants in front of her, Mrs. Hanquan asked rhetorically.

"This..."

It's hard to answer such a question. As professional soldiers, the two generals naturally understood the key role of this "Operation North Wind", but they were also more aware of the dangers involved. Therefore, it is really too difficult for them to take the initiative to send their own men to death, and it is the elite to send them to death.

"Hehe, I know what you're thinking. But according to the plan in the memo, I, Blue Crystal City, will be responsible for at least fifty troops. So, someone has to make the sacrifice. Seeing that Cruyff and Miguel were "reluctant" to reply, Mrs. Lanjing had to "persuade" her.

"Lord of the City, you also know that in the first battle before and in the many skirmishes in the earlier period, my Blue Crystal Legion has lost nearly three hundred men. Although there are follow-up troops from Blue Crystal City to replenish one after another, the overall combat capability has still decreased. Besides, this time it is still the elite of the army that is far stronger than ordinary soldiers, and it is really difficult to make such a determination. After holding back for a while, the relatively young and vigorous Miguel first carefully "retorted".

"'Old Bear', what do you think?" Regarding Miguel's "resistant" attitude, Mrs. Cold Spring did not immediately express her opinion, but looked at Cruyff next to her.

"My lord, although Operation North Wind has its excellent strategic significance, it cannot but be said to be a great adventure. So far, we have only a simple map of the local airship workshop. But with this, you have to bet heavily to fight, which is not a good gambler's style. Facing the Grand Arcanist's gaze, Cruyff groaned and said slowly.

"Regarding intelligence, I have already had in-depth communication with Master Angelina, and there is absolutely no problem with this." Glancing at the two military leaders separately, Mrs. Hanquan said, "So, there are still a dozen in this gamble." ”

"I'll get it." Now that the boss has said this, Cruyff and Miguel have no position to oppose anything.

"Since this operation is imperative, we, as subordinates, will do our best to complete the task. However, as for the candidates, I can consider the combat power outside the Blue Crystal Legion. Taking a deep breath, Miguel suddenly said, "So far, the Olympus squadron of the Azure Mage Regiment is still at full strength. If they can help, then the limited strength on the Legion's side can be preserved as much as possible. ”

"Hehe, you really dare to say and think." Looking at Miguel, Mrs. Cold Spring smiled again.

"The subordinates have made a mistake." In fact, if he was really unwilling to pull his soldiers out and send them to death, Miguel would not dare to openly pry into the corner of Figaro. However, this is also a method that is not a solution, it depends on how the big guy thinks and operates.

"Cruyff, what do you think of Miguel's opinion?"

"Subordinate... Seconded. Faced with Madame Coldspring's meaningful gaze, Cruyff had to bow his head and reply. (To be continued.)
