"What? Giving it away? Guderian's eyes widened, like a kitten that had suddenly been robbed of his beloved ball of yarn, and looked at Moriarty with a look of chagrin.

"Yes, for Lille." Moriarty smiled and nodded, "What, you want it so much?" ”

"Of course!" Guderian nodded again and again, looking like he regretted his love: "Such a good mind triggers the ring, even you can't make it." ”

"Hehe, if you really like it that much, ask him to play with it the next time I see Lille." Moriarty smiled again, and ignored the dwarves' grievances.

Truth be told, Moriarty didn't think about leaving the magic ring for White or Guderian to use. However, after some weighing, he finally decided to throw the "cold green" out and hand it over to the city defense army. After all, the "limelight" of Moriarty during the just-concluded exercise was so great and fierce that a large number of officers of the city defense force began to have some bad opinions about the guard squadron, and even included some former "allies" of the Cruyff family. Now, Moriarty's gift of the magic ring, one of the two major prizes, to Lille's share is a clear statement that he is still Lille's personal mage advisor and a "member" of the city defense system. In this way, at least it should be able to balance the psychology of some people.

Just three days after the end of the "Blue Iris", the city defense army officially determined the sequence of its expedition.

Because the main force of the Miguel faction, the Saruman brigade, was almost completely wiped out by the guard squadron, the honor of the vanguard was finally won by the Lille brigade of the Cruyff system. Meantime. The other nine combat brigades under the command of the two generals form the main force of the Blue Crystal Army, with a total of 1,000 men, and will travel to Stormwind City in the northern part of the Yongville Valley under the command of Lady Coldspring to join up with other allied forces. As for Saruman, who had lost his soldiers, he was transferred to his guard by General Miguel to ensure that he would continue to have the opportunity to make contributions on the battlefield. ”

"Yes, Your Excellency." The old werewolf did not hesitate and took a baton. Walk over to a large sand table that has been prepared for a long time, and begin to sort out and analyze the battle in Yongville Valley.

"This battle was spearheaded by the Goblin Alliance in the South, and the target was the forward salient front that had just been established by the Allied forces in the central and northern Yongville Valley. According to the reports we received, the first wave of the Goblin Offensive was launched around six o'clock in the morning. I think this is the goblin army's desire to take advantage of the late sunrise time in winter to achieve the suddenness and stealth of its attacks. Clausewitz's command pointed to the flat area marked the valley floor on the sand table. "At the same time, since this day is the end of the year, it will be followed by the New Year's festival. The commanders of the Northern Allies seem to be preparing to celebrate the holiday, and they did not expect that the goblins might attack themselves. Therefore, I think that both strategically and tactically, the coalition forces in the south have taken them by surprise and attacked them unprepared! ”

"I agree with the chief of staff." At this time, White did not hesitate to echo: "My Northern Alliance has always been thinking about how to quell the rebellion in the south as much as possible, but no one has asked whether it is possible that the goblins in the south may also attack the north in order to achieve another form of 'unification' in Bracada?" At this point, I think it was a mistake on the part of the league's decision-makers. And this time, the goblins took advantage of our 'advantage' psychology to take the initiative to attack, which caused the Allied forces to retreat. ”

"You're quite right, White. On that point, I'll react to the higher-ups. Moriarty nodded, then turned to look at the old werewolf, "Please continue." ”

"Yes." Clausewitz bowed slightly, and continued: "In the first wave of attacks, the goblins invested about a thousand or so combat troops and a whole mage regiment at one time. On the opposite side of them were the main forces of Crimson City and Lut City, which were already in place, with a total number of about 1,800 people, as well as a medium-sized mage regiment and dozens of mid-level warriors. ”…,

"Our forces are actually superior, right?" At this time, Guderian suddenly muttered.

"Superiority? It can be said that at least it is not at a disadvantage. Hearing the dwarf's words, the old werewolf sneered and said, "Under normal circumstances, if both sides attack with all their might, the northern troops can be invincible in terms of both the total strength and the number of professionals. But alas, the battlefield is never a simple sum of numbers on paper. For the reasons mentioned above, the Northern Allies did not make adequate psychological and material preparations for the Goblin attack. Therefore, in the face of a decisive battle, the real combat power that the Allies can exert under the condition of a sudden attack is quite limited. And..."

"Moreover, the Wonville Valley Salient Front is still jointly run by the two northern city-states, so if the incident is sudden, there will be big problems with command and coordination. Am I right, old Crow? Moriarty said directly.

"Yes, Your Excellency, you are absolutely right." Clausewitz rubbed the baton in his hand and nodded, "That's exactly the second point I want to make. Although the northern city-states had already signed the "Pact of Humanity in Northern Bracada", relying on a single piece of "NATO" alone could not solve the problem of unified command of the northern allies. ”

"But the southern coalition is also a coalition of goblin city-states, so why is their chain of command so coordinated?" Margaret asked, a little puzzled.

"That's because from the very beginning of the Yugoslav Federation, it was initiated and led by the three largest goblin city-states. Therefore, the other goblin factions that joined later could not compete with these three goblin leaders in terms of strength and prestige. Although it is not mentioned in the present war report, I conclude that this raid on Yongville Valley must have been led and carried out by one of the three. ”

"I see." The werewolf nodded abruptly.

"Therefore, in the darkness of dawn, they were suddenly attacked by a fierce attack from the south, and the commanders of Crimson City and Rut City probably ordered their respective troops to resist in place, but they could not effectively form a joint battle force, which also provided the foundation and conditions for the goblins to carry out various defeats."

"Why isn't there a pre-set up magical instant communication between Crimson City and Root City? In that case, at least a minimum of cooperation can be achieved. Gustav wondered.

"Because the goblins interfered with magic." Moriarty took the initiative to answer this question for the old werewolf: "There is no detailed report in the battle report, but there is no doubt that the attacker will definitely use powerful magic to interfere with the opponent's communication and contact before launching an offensive. It's like when we shielded Saruman from the Mage Tower in Guò Hockenheim before the exercise. ”

"Yes, I agree with that judgment as well." Clausewitz nodded heavily: "Speaking of which, only the corps of Bracada on the pan-continent can achieve instant communication through guò magic within a certain limit when fighting, which is almost unimaginable in the eyes of other countries. And this is one of the greatest advantages of the Bracada military. Unfortunately, what is happening now is a war within the ice field, and it seems that such an advantage cannot be maintained. ”

"I can't keep it anymore..."Moriarty frowned, but suddenly stretched out slightly, as if thinking of something, and smiled slightly: "Maybe." Go on. ”

"Yes." The old werewolf was keenly aware of the change in the other party's expression, but he didn't understand the inner meaning, so he continued: "Under the dual advantage of raiding and suppressing the opponent's communications, the 1,000 people of the goblin army first plunged into the junction of the positions of Crimson City and Rut City like a sharp wedge, physically and completely cutting off the effective connection between the two. At the same time, the second wave of attack corps, with a total of 800 people, and with the mage regiment that had already moved in place, immediately began to launch a fierce attack on the front of Crimson City. And I think there is only one reason why Crimson City was chosen as the first target, and that is that nearly eighty percent of the mage power of the entire salient is concentrated in the Crimson City's legion. If you don't get rid of them first, the goblin raid could be overturned by humans at any time! ”……，
