Chapter 201: Liaison, Shore, Rickshaw Driver
"According to the plan, a total of three sailing ships carrying nearly 350 fighters went to the southern coast to carry out 'Operation North Wind'. But now, the Old Fish has sunk and the Albatross is missing. And as a field commander, I don't think it's wise and beneficial to keep fighting with such huge losses. Moriarty thought for a moment, looked around at White, Sudit, Clausewitz and the others, and said slowly: "However, Operation North Wind is a matter of great importance and extreme confidentiality. If I wait for the light yì to return, I will inevitably be questioned and even criticized by the Allied High Command. ”
"Your Excellency, the whole of Olympus will unconditionally abide by your decision!"
White is very familiar with this dilemma on the battlefield, and immediately expressed his voice as the deputy squadron leader and fully supported his superiors. And this is also a kind of pressure and deterrence for other non-"Olympians on board".
"My idea is to try to find and contact the Albatross through the magic sandbox. If it can be successful, then it will be possible to complete the 'Operation North Wind' with the combat power of two sailing ships. Otherwise, we would have to turn the ship around and head back to the north. As he spoke, Moriarty turned his head to look at the warriors from other city-states, his eyes slightly downcast: "So, what about everyone's opinions?" ”
"I agree with His Excellency Moriarty's proposal." For the first time, Bruno, who had returned to the deck from the top of the mast, said in a loud voice.
Immediately, Moriarty thanked him with a gentle bow.
"We agree!"
"Agreed!"
"Let's do it."
I don't know if Moriarty's plan really won the hearts of the people, or if no one dared to resist the might of Olympus and the magic archers of the Three Flowers. Immediately, they clamored to show their support.
Due to the mid-level mage Daimon being injured by the Kraken's psychic attack, he is still unconscious. So Moriarty naturally took over the navigation room where the magic sandbox was located, and took on the responsibility of searching for the albatross.
And this time, it seems that good fortune has finally begun to favor the Pearl. After about half an hour of all-out searching, a virtual image of the albatross finally appeared in the southeast direction of the magic sand table. Then, after a call of a certain magic frequency, Moriarty also managed to get in touch with Cleo, a mid-level mage on the other ship.
After a series of brief communications with Guò, Moriarty and Cleo informed each other of the damage.
It turned out that the Albatross had also been attacked by the singing of the Siren. But luckily they were lucky, when the Kraken focused most of his energy on seducing the Old Fish and attacking the Pearl. The albatross was able to sail with all his might and escaped. Except for a few crew members who were tempted to jump overboard. There were no other losses.
Next, Moriarty proposed to the mid-level mage to continue southward, and Cleo agreed.
And by this time, it was already early in the morning. If the wind direction does not change and a qiē shun lì. Two Allied sailing ships will be able to reach the established landing site "Kentucky Sound" before dawn. Of course. This was a full six hours later than originally planned. In other words, I am afraid that the fighters have only recently reached the southern coast. It is necessary to face the unfavorable situation of the light of day.
So, when Moriarty and Cleo had an urgent discussion, they decided to sail some further distance towards the southern coast first. to completely leave the Kraken's "sphere of influence". Then they choose an area with calm waters and wait for a day until the next night to launch a landing operation in Kentucky Sound.
So, the Albatross and the Pearl moved closer together in formation and headed south at full speed, one after the other. At the same time, the fighters on board began to seize the last time to eat and rest. For many of them, once they set foot on land again, "a very long and difficult day" awaits.
"Mr. Bruno, this is my promise, please accept it."
In the hidden cabin, Moriarty handed over the new ten armor-piercing blasting arrows to the elves.
"Thank you, Your Excellency, for your generosity." Bruno immediately thanked him, smiling.
Ten armor-piercing arrows have fully compensated for the losses of the Magical Archers against the Kraken and the Abyssal Squid, and there is still a surplus.
"It's a shame to think about it, after fighting all night, we haven't even been able to see the true face of the Kraken." Instead of dwelling on "trifles like armor-piercing arrows," Moriarty waved his hand and jokingly chatted with the elves.
"Hehe, the true face of the Kraken is not so easy to see. Even in the literature of the Old Elven Empire, the Kraken has always been a powerful creature full of mysteries. Although Bruno said this, his expression also seemed to reveal a little regret.
"yes. Compared to the land, the world in the sea is probably more vast and mysterious. It's just that we can't explore the mystery yet. Moriarty smiled again.
"I heard that there are also some intelligent life on the bottom of the sea. If you have the opportunity, find a way to communicate with them. Bruno nodded.
It can be seen that the erudition of the elf in front of him is not inferior to that of ordinary anthropologists, and this is particularly outstanding in the current situation of the increasingly "reckless" elves of Avili.
After a few more small talks, the elf took his leave at the right time.
"Why don't you try to recruit this elf? The magic archer of the Sanhua level is not easy to meet. Shortly after Bruno left, Clausewitz knocked on the door and came in, straight away.
"I'm afraid it's not going to be easy." Moriarty glanced at the old werewolf and shook his head: "A proud strong man is not something that can be recruited with a few words. Moreover, in the case of Operation North Wind, the elves who are alone have a better chance of surviving than our large group. ”
"I heard about his sister, though. This should be an opportunity. Clausewitz smiled disapprovingly, and said: "Anyway, if Olympus wants to survive and develop better, it must constantly add new forces to come in." Otherwise, maybe when the 'superiors' will be pulled out as cannon fodder again. ”
"I understand. I'll talk about it when I get back this time. Moriarty nodded knowingly, ending the conversation.
After a dozen hours, the long-awaited Albatross and Pearl set sail again, and then slowly sailed into the quiet of Kentucky Bay in the heavy night.
As a remote and desolate bay, Kentucky Bay has long been unnoticed due to its lack of depth and remoteness from fishing grounds. Even in many official goblin maps, its name is omitted from the atlas. The NATO Command chose this place as the landing ground for Operation Northwind, naturally because of its remoteness and lack of people.
Due to the draft of the hull, the two sailing ships could not be docked directly. As a result, most of the landed soldiers had to take turns paddling ashore through the lifeboat on the guò boat.
Only the fierce Wolfgang wolf riders rode their wolves from the deck into the icy waters, and then forced their way across the bay to open up a landing ground for the follow-up troops.
And witnessing such a decisive and fierce demeanor of the wolf cavalry, including the soldiers of the other city-states on the Albatross, couldn't help but be secretly frightened.
It took about an hour or so, and all the commando fighters stood on the southern coastline of Bracada in the dark.
Meanwhile, the two sailboats slowly sailed away from the bay and hid on a secluded cliff leeward several kilometres away. According to the plan, they will return to Kentucky Bay after twelve hours and wait for half an hour to receive the safely returned fighters to return. Of course, the two mid-level mages, Daemon and Clyde, will stay on their respective ships at all times, and will not set foot on land.
Because of the need for confidentiality and security, the specific targets to be attacked by different commandos are different and strictly confidential. After landing safely, there was no more nonsense, and the warriors of the city-states set off according to their respective mission arrangements.
"Olympus, let's go!" It was almost as long as all the other warriors had left that Moriarty finally gave the order.
"Yes, Your Excellency!" Hearing the order to act, the entire combat team immediately went into action.
On the snow, three giant wolf sleds were taken out of the "Big Appetite" Dimension Bag that Moriarty carried with him. With the exception of the Wolf Cavalry Company, which was the lead and reconnaissance force of the troops, all the other fighters rode on three sleds. And the one who was temporarily used as a "sled dog" was the burly Naga.
To be honest, when they heard that they were going to play the role of a "rickshaw driver" in "Operation North Wind", the three Naga brothers were unwilling.
Just kidding, the dignified Naga good boy is going to be reduced to "competing for jobs" with sled dogs, if this is spread out, the Balalaika family really can't mix in the group. Even the Naga priestess may have reconciled the three brothers for the sake of racial honor.
It's just that no matter how strong the determination is, it can't withstand the devastation of the cruel reality and the torture of decay and depravity.
When Tchaikov, Zhukov, and Chekov took their equipment and refused to let go, when Guderian happily jumped out and declared that he would throw some "anti-revolutionaries" back into the prisoner of war camps and rebuild them, and when Moriarty promised to arrange for them to make special magic helmets as soon as he completed Operation North Wind, Naga's hearts were shamefully shaken.
The so-called: virgins are also afraid of tiger-wolf medicine, how can-son be sharpened?
Between this soft and hard, the three Balalaika brothers are completely discharged.
"Captain Margaret Company, you are in charge of forward scouting and leading the way. Be sure to arrive at 'Duoyun Town' before noon. Standing on the head of the wolf in the sleigh, Moriarty ordered the werewolf.
"Yes, Your Excellency. The Wolf Rider Company will live up to your mission! ”
Margaret sat down as a wolf and took the lead. Behind him, the rolling wolf cavalry stretched out on both sides like two waves.
At the same time, the three sleds began to pick up speed, speeding toward the depths of the interior to the low laughter of the silverbearded dwarf. (To be continued......)
