Chapter 80: The War Begins
"It's likely that reinforcements from the Demon King's Army have arrived?"
On the way to the predetermined battlefield of the coalition army, Li Qinglan, who was hovering on the flying sword, looked at Lin Yuedong in astonishment, feeling a little incredible. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"At least a fifty percent chance." Lin Yuedong confirmed.
"Unlikely." Li Qinglan said with some suspicion, "Their defeat of Ars Town was seven days ago, and the Demon King Army didn't need reinforcements before that, so the earliest request for reinforcements should be seven days ago." It will take at least three days for Searal to send a distress message to Zohar, at least one day for the reinforcements to prepare and set off, and another fourteen or fifteen days on the way, so that it will take at least ten days for them to get reinforcements. ”
"That's not right." Lin Yuedong shook his head, "If I were the commander of the Demon King Army, there is a high probability that I would not have asked for help after the town of Ars - but would have started asking for reinforcements after Amos set off!" ”
"After Amos leaves?" Li Qinglan was taken aback, and immediately reacted, "Yes, it makes sense." Before they fight, they take a risk, and they must think about what to do after defeat. ”
"The Demon King's front line made such a high-risk plan, which was definitely carefully evaluated in advance, and should have been reported to the Demon King. Even if Barnaby can't think of it, others must be able to see that once this plan fails, the Demon King Army will face defeat, so there will definitely be a backhand. Lin Yuedong nodded.
The Demon King Army is not composed of a group of stupid people, and being able to conquer the continent has its own special features, and this kind of problem is not difficult to think of, of course, it should be prepared in advance.
What's more, No. 7 and Blood Knife somehow mixed well with the Demon King Army, and it seems that the Demon King Army trusts them very much. So at the very least, these two people should know that there is a courier on the fairy side opposite, which is not so easy to deal with, and they must prepare quite a lot of plans and back-ups, not two, not three, but five, six, seven, eight...... Piece.
Asking for reinforcements is naturally the easiest of all.
"So, this time we're likely to face reinforcements from the Demon King's Army from Zohar." Li Qinglan touched her chin, "I heard that Solomon has seventy-two pillars of elves, I don't know if he will send two pillars over." ”
"Unless he's on his own." Lin Yuedong didn't think it was possible. It's not written in the original how far the elves are from the elves, but the level of the elves manipulated by the elves without the elves is not high, but it's true. If Solomon dared to let the seventy-two pillar elves fight away from his side, he was afraid that he would die in a few days.
"Shall we go and warn the Blood Lion? They didn't seem to expect the possibility that reinforcements from the Demon King's Army had arrived. Li Qinglan asked.
"I don't think so." Lin Yuedong's eyes were deep, "In order to win, sometimes we have to pay something - don't disrupt our plans. ”
"Oh, yes." Li Qinglan patted her forehead, "Okay, then let's be careful ourselves, don't be killed." ”
"What are you talking about?" Ysera suddenly leaned over and asked with interest.
"It's nothing, it's just saying that war is dangerous, and we ourselves have to be careful." Lin Yuedong said in confidence.
"I seem to hear words like your plans...... It's suspicious. Isera showed a deliberate expression and looked back and forth at Lin Yuedong and Li Qinglan.
"You heard it wrong, you must have heard it wrong." Lin Yuedong waved his hand, "With such a big war, what can we plan for?" Only El Stein they will have a plan. ”
"Yannick, you are too modest, but I have heard that both of you are qualified to attend the military council and participate in the formulation of war strategies." Ysera's face flushed slightly, "If you have any great plans, it's very possible." ”
"Maybe, who knows?" Lin Yuedong began to change the topic, "Get ready, this time it's a decisive battle, no matter if you win or lose, there will be heavy casualties, you must be careful." When the war is over, I'd like to learn a little more elven magic from you. ”
The effect of this move was immediate, and Ysera really stopped pursuing the plan, but lowered her head, and said a little shyly: "Well, okay." Let's make an appointment, and when the war is over, I will teach you well, just the two of us...... Yikes! ”
She didn't know what she was thinking, so she covered her face and screamed, and fled back into the queue.
Li Qinglan gave Lin Yuedong a thumbs up, indicating that everything was in plain sight.
Lin Yuedong only smiled bitterly.
The army continued to move forward, except for Lin Yuedong and Li Qinglan, no one knew that the reinforcements of the Demon King Army were likely to have arrived, so they thought that they would achieve a predetermined victory on the predetermined battlefield, and the atmosphere of the whole army was very relaxed.
The Nameless Plains were fifty miles from Ostachia and less than thirty miles from the town of Ars, and the coalition army had to walk for a day to reach them, and then began to set up camp near the hills at the western end of the plain, with elven envoys and scouts scattered out to reconnoitre.
Soon, they discovered that the Demon King Army, who had arrived near the battlefield earlier, had now set up a camp on the east side of the plain. The large camps of the two sides were about ten miles away from the entire small plain, just as they had in the last decisive battle.
At this distance, it is difficult for both sides to surprise or sneak attack, and they can only fight a decisive battle in a dignified manner.
That night, the lights were lit in the camp tents of both coaches all night, and they were nervously making final plans.
Early the next morning, the two armies left their tents and marched five miles each, stopping in the center of the small plain, and the two armies faced each other.
According to the general rules of war at this time, the main general should go out to answer at this time, and you must first come and say a few words before starting the fight, which is more in line with aesthetics. It's just that Barnaby, the main general of the Demon King Army, is not an elf envoy, and it is too difficult to ask him to go out and answer the saint, what if he is beheaded in front of the battle?
Therefore, the two sides just carried forward their gentlemanly demeanor, and after laying out the formation together, they sounded the horn of attack at the same time. The infantry at the forefront on both sides began to advance, the sharp tips of their spears glinting dangerously in the sun.
“…… This rigidity can be regarded as the flavor of ancient warfare. Seeing the soldiers on both sides marching at the same pace, Lin Yuedong said a little speechlessly. At this time, the army of the Kingdom of Aldesia, where they were located, had not yet received the order to attack, so they still stood in the initial position, becoming temporary bystanders.
"Ancient warfare is not like modern warfare with all kinds of means of communication, can only rely on flags and heralds, under such backward communication conditions, the two sides do not set up a good formation and start fighting, immediately will not be able to command, will definitely be a bad battle." Li Qinglan said very experienced.
"That's right...... But if it doesn't become a bad battle, the Demon King's army will have to play it. Lin Yuedong rode on his horse and looked at the formation of the Demon King Army opposite, "I remember that the Demon King Army is very good at that it can form an elf magic ...... with ordinary people in formation."
As soon as he said this, he saw that the formation of the central part of the Demon King Army in front of him had begun to change into a very complicated pattern, and hundreds of elven envoys stood on various key points in the pattern and began to chant skillfully.
"The fire of the pure world descends on the edge of the sky, and destroys my enemy - the fire of heaven burns the world!"
