Chapter 179: Awake, Goblin Airship, Naga
"Priority is given to attacking the mage power, hehe, it seems that the pressure we will face in the future will be very large. It is possible to go to the battlefield before the enemy comes straight to the door. Glancing around the crowd in front of him, Moriarty seemed to smile in harmony.
"Ha, whoever dares to touch us, let them try it! Lao Tzu's hammer is not vegetarian. Guderian raised his Rock Gall a little unconvinced, and said proudly.
"Huh, try? What to try? Unless you're at the level of a Templar or Grand Arcanist, even high-level professionals will be killed alone against an army of enemies. Hearing the words of the silverbearded dwarf, White immediately rebuked angrily.
"Hey, hey..."Seeing the deputy squadron leader speak, Guderian habitually kept silent.
"Staff officer, you continue to review." Moriarty also struck the dwarf and continued.
"Yes. After completely severing the connection between Crimson City and Root City, half of the first wave of goblin warriors immediately formed positions on the spot and tried their best to block possible reinforcements from Root City; The other half of the five hundred people cooperated with the eight hundred goblins of the second attack wave, and began to break through the front of Crimson City from two directions at the same time. As for the Goblin Mage Regiment, they directly engaged the Crimson Mage Regiment and effectively prevented them from providing magical support to their own soldiers. Speaking of this, Clausewitz paused for a moment, glanced at everyone, and suddenly said emphatically: "It can be seen from this example that when two hostile mage groups appear on the battlefield at the same time, their primary target is always the other party. In other words, the mage group will not and cannot provide magical support to other classes such as warriors until the enemy's magical power is completely or mostly destroyed. In view of this, we in the Olympus squadron should be fully mentally and materially prepared from now on, because once we enter the battlefield, we are likely to also have to face the complex situation of fighting alone! ”
"The opinion of the staff officer is good, I completely agree." Moriarty immediately agreed loudly.
In fact, in Moriarty's mind, the existence of the mage regiment can be understood as an artillery group or strategic missile-missile force in the old world at a certain level. And whether as a "one-gun" or a "two-gun". "The primary objective on the battlefield must be the same sequence of operations as the enemy. If you can't find and destroy it in the first place, then you are likely to be degraded by the other party.
"Previously, some soldiers in the squadron were still a little complacent. It is believed that the Olympus Squadron is the guard unit of the Azure Mage Regiment, and will definitely receive preferential treatment from the mages once they start a battle. But the truth tells us that such preferential treatment does not exist. And even if there were, it was a special treat from the enemy! Therefore, you, as the commanders of the squads and companies, must tell your soldiers clearly and unmistakably that they may dispel this unrealistic illusion as soon as possible. Pack up your mind and be prepared to fight tough battles and evil battles! ”
"Yes, Your Excellency!" White and the others all stood up and answered the promise.
"Yes, please continue." Moriarty nodded, turning his gaze back to the old werewolf.
"Yes. Since the combat power of the Crimson Mage Regiment and the Goblin Mage Regiment was basically equal, the battle situation between the two sides was always in a stalemate during the first half hour of the battle. Both human mages and goblin mages have been wounded or killed in battle. At the same time, at the warrior level, the strength of Crimson City was about a thousand, and there were more than twenty middle-level warriors. Therefore, even if it is inferior to the goblins attacking from both sides in terms of total strength, it does not suffer in terms of actual combat power. ”
"A thousand warriors, more than twenty mid-rank warriors, a regiment of mages... This is basically the same as the main force of my Blue Crystal Legion. White lowered his head, looked at the red war chess pieces placed on the sand table in place of the Crimson City side, and said in a deep voice. …,
"Your Excellency Deputy Squadron Leader is right. In fact, this Bulge Battle does have a great reference and warning effect for our Blue Crystal Legion. The old werewolf nodded in agreement: "And according to common sense, such a group of legions will not collapse too lightly even in the face of an attack by an enemy army twice as superior as itself." Even if the counterattack is not effective and the breakthrough cannot be achieved, it should still be possible to wait for reinforcements for a short time. But alas..."
"It's a pity that there is a third wave of attacks from the Southern Coalition forces." Moriarty stood up from his position, walked over to the sand table, took out a piece of paper that he had just finished, and placed it on the back of the Crimson City front. And on that piece of paper was a miniature goblin airship.
The so-called goblin airship is a large magic prop unique to the goblin family, which is mainly used to lift different types of boat-shaped cabins from the ground through guò airbags filled with special magic gases to achieve air navigation. This type of airship is the only known practical flying tool on the pancontinent that can be used for manned and cargo purposes, and in the past, most of them were used to transport southern goblin specialties to North Bracada for trade and sales. So far, there are no other races that can be copied or copied. What is unthinkable is that this time the "Yugoslav Alliance" directly used goblin airships to participate in the war.
"This is the first time since the Ice Apocalypse that a goblin airship has appeared on the battlefield. It has to be said that the goblin commander who commanded this campaign had extraordinary imagination and outstanding military qualities. It seems that our enemy is very strong. Looking at the airship piece, Moriarty said. To be honest, he really admired the opposing commander who could come up with the classic tactic of using a goblin airship to drop the enemy's rear. You must know that in the old world, and it was not until the era of World War II, when the aviation industry developed rapidly, that paratroopers and airborne troops in the true sense were born, and for the first time, a leapfrog land strike against the enemy was realized. And on the Antagriqi continent, Bracada hasn't experienced war for hundreds of years. However, at the beginning of the South-North Civil War, there were such powerful people in the goblin camp who used such outstanding tactics as airship airdrops. Moriarty couldn't even think of any other words to describe such a "great" foe than his military genius.
At this moment, Moriarty couldn't help but feel extremely lucky: after all, there were no bombing weapons such as the "Set Sail without Watermark" bombs or the "Set Sail without Watermark" bombs in the New World, and the structure of the goblin airship was too fragile to be suitable for aerial combat, and there were also a number of troops with strong air combat capabilities among other races; Otherwise, as long as there is a slight change of thinking among the goblins, then once the bombing airship appears, the goblin clan will no longer care about what kind of Bracada North-South War is, but can directly start thinking about how to unify the pan-continent.
"Yes, infinite imagination combined with a calm military element can often give birth to miracles. And with this airdrop "Set sail without watermark", I believe that the leaders of the Northern Alliance should really wake up. Due to the existence of the goblin airship, the traditional sense of security for the Allies in the rear is no longer there. Although he was only a staff officer of the Olympus squadron, Clausewitz's perspective was incomparably broad. Just as he said, the inability to guarantee 100 percent security in the rear will have an incomparably far-reaching impact on NATO's morale, morale, and strategic security. At the very least, how to prevent the goblins from using airships to sneak attack again, or raid from a distance, and how many guards to leave in their respective city-states' nests, are all things that the Allied commanders need to think about and headache.
"In addition to the use of goblin airships to achieve airdrops, the special event "Set sail without watermarking" itself, Naga even appeared in the third wave of goblin troops that were dropped into the rear of Crimson City, but it implied a greater military and political dual impact." Clausewitz gently placed his left fist on the sand table, and then slowly opened it, revealing a Naga-shaped chess piece in his palm. …,
Naga, the true warriors! The half-human, half-snake appearance gives the Nagas a terrifying but not somewhat bewitching appearance. Since birth, Naga has had three separate pairs of arms and is immensely powerful. As you can imagine, when you're faced with any powerful enemy coming at you with six swords, the best thing to do is to run away as fast as you can, except for fear and death. Otherwise, if you hesitate, you will be chopped to pieces by the blades that fall like a torrential rain. And once he reaches adulthood, Naga's height will exceed two or even three meters, and at the same time, he has terrifying combat power that is not weaker than that of high-level warrior professionals. As a rare matrilineal social system on the mainland, women in the Naga often have more strength and higher rank status than men. Legend has it that Naga, a high-ranking woman who has reached the "queen rank", can compete with dragons.
"Yes, the goblin airship has some capacity, and it can't transport a large number of soldiers. Originally, a back-airborne landing would at most only release more offensive pressure on the enemy. But who would have thought that the Naga, who had just announced that they might join the war at the right time, would be impatient to appear in the first battle in the true sense of the word, the Battle of the Bulge. Hehe, the story behind this is by no means clear in a few words. Moriarty looked at the goblin airship and Naga war chess next to him on the sand table, and his eyes were deep.
"Yes, according to the information in the battle report, a total of two goblin airships participated in the airborne operation, and one of them was carrying the three-headed Naga. It was precisely because of the sudden addition of these three powerful warriors comparable to high-level professionals that it caused the collapse of Crimson City and even the entire salient front after that. Clausewitz focused his command on the Naga chess.
"Gentlemen, I think everyone has seen it clearly. In the future, our Olympus squadron is also likely to have to fight against this high-level powerhouse known as the whole people. Are you afraid? As he spoke, Moriarty's gaze swept over everyone's faces.
"I'm afraid of a bird, what a dog-fart Naga, the old "Set Sail without a Watermark" wants to fight it alone!" Guderian didn't want to shout.
"Under the blade of the wolf cavalry, the high rank is nothing more than a pile of rotten meat waiting to rot." Margaret said.
"Gunfire is enough to overturn a seventh-level warrior, we need Naga to test firepower!" Gustav smiled.
"Good. Your faith is mine. Moriarty nodded and smiled slightly: "Staff officer, please update the staff plan according to the information of this campaign." I hope that in future wars, the Olympus squadron will be able to face any enemy without fear, and even more so, and even more so, will be able to win the battle. ”
"Yes, Your Excellency." If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
