This exchange meeting in the emirate lasted only a few hours, and the three of them led the topic to the military, which was the last topic and the topic that the white wolf was most concerned about, and there was no one.

The Emirate is now facing a military threat from the Grey Mist invaders, and if he doesn't deal with this group of war maniacs who can't communicate peacefully, the White Wolf can't peacefully build peace in the Emirate, and these creatures can be said to be his henchmen.

"During your absence, we fought many wars with the Grey Mist invaders, more than 70 percent of which were initiated by them, including 1 Armageddon with more than 10,000 participants, 3 medium-sized battles with 9,000 to 5,000 people, 12 small-scale battles with 5,000 to 1,000 men, and hundreds of sporadic battles with less than 1,000 men. The black wolf introduced the current battle situation to the white wolf.

"In these battles, we have greatly reduced the enemy's range of action according to the method you created, with the help of concrete walls and the coordinated advance of the half-armored swordsman brigade, and since you left, our battle line has advanced to six junctions at the highest and four at the lowest, and as the battle line advances, the resistance we encounter is getting more and more fierce, in fact, the decisive battle of 10,000 people has just happened recently. ”

"What about the casualties? I would like to know a specific trend. ”

"The casualty situation is not optimistic, the casualty ratio of the enemy and us has been reduced from 6 to 1 at the beginning, to 2 to 1 now, but in general, it is still our advantage, in the continuous battles, we have eliminated more than 20,000 people on the other side with the sacrifice of more than 5,000 people, and now, it is obvious that the opponent's forces are a little stretched, they can't afford this kind of war of attrition, so they will fight a decisive battle recently, trying to defeat our main force, of course, in the end they failed. ”

"Why is the casualty ratio so much lower? Could it be that the enemy has adopted some new tactics?"

"They didn't adopt new tactics, all they did was to increase the number of porcupines in the army, their strength is so great that as soon as our warriors are hit by a spear, the battle line will collapse immediately, and we have no way to deal with it at the moment, we can only train the shield soldiers to speed up the recovery of organization, and speed up the efficiency of the rotation between the front and rear formations, and train the gunners in the rear to fight the enemy's porcupine men. ”

"Gunner?"

"It's the automatic miner you are talking about, with the assistance of the Rune Research Institute, we have transformed it into more suitable for carrying, and the lethality caused is stronger, therefore, it is no longer suitable to be called an automatic mining machine, simply call it the most suitable name for it, cannon. ”

"Looks like the foxes are doing a good job, so let's talk about the battle. ”

"I have a judgment that this group of gray mist invaders may be facing more than one group of enemies, and there may be other people fighting this group of monsters besides us, and I have been trying to contact this force, but unfortunately nothing has come of it so far. ”

"Are there other forces involved in the fighting? How did you come to this conclusion?"

"During your absence, we found a human at the forefront of the battlefield, and according to the information from his mouth, we know that this guy is an adventurer from the Human Empire, who is specifically responsible for investigating these gray fogs, so I suspect that humans are likely to use troops against the gray fog invaders as well. ”

"Humans from the Gray Mist?" The white wolf was a little shocked, in his opinion, the Gray Mist area was extremely dangerous, and it was inevitable to die if he wanted to pass through, and it was not easy for that human to get here alive.

"But this evidence alone is not enough to support your hypothesis, we must meet the army, the real human army, otherwise there can be no cooperation. The white wolf thought for a moment and said to the black wolf.

"Cooperation, why cooperate? Isn't it good to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight?" The black wolf's thinking was obviously inconsistent with the white wolf.

"Whether it's sitting on the mountain watching the tiger fight, or cooperating, first we have to confirm the existence of the other party, and now that we have not found anything, we can assume that the human army does not exist. According to Occam's razor principle, the analysis should be carried out according to the standard of "do not add entities unless necessary", and the existence of human forces has no effect on the war in the underworld, so at this stage, the variables about them can be excluded from the scope of consideration, and it is not too late to deal with them when there is definite evidence.

"I have to say, in fact, your previous expansion is still very necessary, which allows us to always have an advantage in numbers in the face of the enemy, and the consumption of personnel can also be quickly replenished. The black wolf concluded the military intelligence report with the comparison of friend and foe.

"What the hell is going on with these Grey Mist invaders, and are you making progress in your investigation in this area?" the White Wolf continued to ask.

"Nothing has progressed, but I have a guess. The black wolf said.

"What speculation, tell me about it?"

"I suspect that the Grey Mist invaders who are fighting us are most likely not living creatures at all. ”

"You're saying we're fighting necromancers, and there are necromancers in this world?"

The black wolf shook his head.

"Necromancy, that is something that only exists in stories made up by bards, necromancers who can enslave corpses and bring the dead to life, there are spells that drain the life force of others, but necromancy should not exist, at least I have never heard of it. ”

"And what do you think?"

"I was skeptical at first, wondering if it was the legendary necromancy of the story, but after thinking about it, I didn't think it was possible. ”

"Why?" asked Momiji.

"Because because their strength and will to fight are stronger than that of a living person, it should not be like this, if a person is dead and his heart stops beating, then his muscles will definitely be very stiff, let alone running, and even walking will be very difficult. ”

"But the group of gray fog invaders we are facing can run much faster than the living people," the white wolf sighed, he had personally been on the battlefield, and he had a very deep understanding of the speed and explosiveness of the gray fog invaders.

"That's right, so I think it's very likely that these guys are still alive in their bodies, but their heads are dead, otherwise they wouldn't have been indifferent after being gutted by our knives and guns. ”

"The body is still alive and the brain is dead" The white wolf fell into thought, if he continued according to this line of thought, it meant that there must be something behind the control of these walking dead goblins and porcupine people, as for how the mastermind behind the scenes achieved remote control, in fact, the answer has long been called.

"I think that gray fog, the devil's fog in human mouths, should be the medium that someone uses to achieve remote control. The white wolf did not hide it, and directly put forward his conjecture to the black wolf.

"Manipulation through the gray mist, I never thought it was a possibility, I always thought the gray fog was used to keep those guys' bodies alive. The black wolf replied in shock.

In this case, we can design an experiment to test our hypothesis. Then the white wolf explained his plan to the black wolf and the red leaf in detail, the specific operation process is very simple, first lead a team of gray mist invaders over, and then through a powerful wind element spell, blow the gray mist around them away, and then observe the reaction of the experiment, if they still show a certain amount of wisdom and aggressiveness, then prove the white wolf's conjecture is wrong.

"It would be nice if you had come up with this plan earlier. The black wolf couldn't help but shake his head when he heard the white wolf's words.

"Why are you in any trouble now?" the white wolf was a little puzzled.

"The army has no difficulties, the difficulty is to catch a lone enemy, we are now in a state of all-out war with the group of gray fog invaders, they will no longer send scattered squads to send them to death, as long as we attack one of the teams, it will be equivalent to stabbing Ma Fengwo, the surrounding enemies will all rush over, and the small friction will soon turn into a big war. Black Wolf explained.

"Isn't there any room for manoeuvre?" asked the White Wolf.

"Probably not, but if you go into battle yourself"

As soon as the black wolf said this, his voice was immediately interrupted by Momiji.

"No, no, he went to the battlefield, what if he encounters danger?" Momiji resolutely opposed this, "You forgot about the previous envoy to the elf clan so quickly? The leader must not risk his life! While protecting himself, he is responsible for our big collective!"

"Okay, then I'll only stay at the second-line command post, okay, I promise you, I will never go to the front line" The white wolf really wanted to find out the secret of the gray fog, so he could only compromise with Momiji.

"I'll find someone to take care of you!" Momiji bit her lip, apparently, she was still worried that the white wolf would not listen to the advice and take the risk alone as the commander.

"I can assure you that I will never go to the front. The white wolf swears.

"Well, stay safe. Red Leaf sighed, it seems that she can't stop the white wolf, but since he swore an oath, he can rest assured, the white wolf has always been a promise, and when she says it, what she said before is just angry words about sending people to monitor, and she doesn't plan to really implement it.

After all, in the territory of the Emirate, there is not a single goblin who dares to spy on the white wolf, he is the symbol of the Emirate, sacred and inviolable.
