Chapter 145: Strategy
Remember "Pen โ Fun รท Reading โ" for you to read wonderful novels.
"General, what are we going to do next?"
Beside Salamondo, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old wolf orc stood respectfully beside Salamondo, wearing a pair of smoky gray-rimmed glasses, which looked a little Sven, but the cold glint in the lenses showed that he still had a beastly heart.
The wolf-orc's name was Gareto, and he had just entered the military two years ago. In fact, strictly speaking, he is still a distant relative of Carlyle, but compared to Carlyle, Gareto does not have as strong martial arts, but has a more astute and intelligent mind.
As a die-hard party that decisively chose the Salamondo faction to take sides in the Great Purge, he was already above 10,000 people in the Supreme Command at this time.
But when facing Saramondo, he still maintained his respect, and even if he didn't understand his boss's judgment, don't ask, just do it with peace of mind...... Because he had never felt a threat in anyone who could match this man.
It's as if you're facing a sleeping beast, and as long as a wrong move wakes up the other party, what awaits you is doom!
What's more, Saramondo has a scheming that matches his ambitions and means, and every decision he makes is so much in line with Gareto's heart that the latter can't find any reason not to comply.
"In fact, only the first step is the most difficult to pass, as long as the first step is taken, what we do later is very simple......
Standing in front of a wide sand table of several square meters, Salamondo stretched out his arms and swept through the huge red circle that surrounded the border between Taukaba and Stasi and the vast surrounding territory with a gentle but firm motion, knocking down all the small red flags planted there.
This fairly complete map was actually made with the help of Ves's talent "Leyline Signs", which he had only awakened in his recent youth.
This talent can be regarded as a very powerful non-combat type talent, as long as it touches the ground, it can expand a huge invisible magic array along the earth, so as to perceive the general actions of those who touch the ground within the magic array.
If that's all there is, this talent isn't too strong, but ...... Its effective range is simply amazing.
Theoretically, as long as Weiss's strength is enough, he can even cover the entire Western Continent with a magic array!
Even now, Vess's ability is strong enough to sense the territory of Falkenridge and Taukaba, and even the border of Stasi is not out of the question.
Saramondo must admit that although he looks down on this weak half-blood dragon from the bottom of his heart, the other party can indeed play a great role in auxiliary work.
"These are the villages and towns where we can detect the remnants of the Resistance or suspected Resistance strongholds, and we have the men there, and then we call in the recently formed special forces, uproot them all, and kill them all without leaving any ground...... The strategy of differentiation has been implemented over the years, and some people have forgotten what we are doing it in the first place......"
He raised his head slightly, and the cold light in his eyes made Gareto shiver.
"Divide for better rule! However, now some people are beginning to use the strategy of division to try to kidnap us with morality......"
At this point, Gareto naturally understands that the strategy of division has indeed achieved a lot of results in the past three years, at least the people in most of the territory of the Principality of Taukaba are no longer rejected, and even gladly accept the occupation of Falkenridge.
However, Stasi reacted quickly: Aren't you Falkenridge merciful and liberating? Well, let's make the rest of Taukaba a soldier and see if you kill them all!
It must be said that Stasi's trick is indeed quite vicious, anyway, now that Stasi's reputation has stinked, it is better to stink Falkenridge's reputation than to save his own reputation.
Moreover, this method is also effective, in the face of the Taukaba people who were forced into the battlefield by the Stasi, the Falkenridge army is indeed in a dilemma: if it fights, it will violate the liberation posture made by Falkenridge before, and it is likely to turn the surrendered city of Taukaba against it......;
Of course, these things were a headache for the Falkenridge people before the establishment of the High Command.
Running his fair-skinned and slender fingers across the wide mountains and rivers, Salamondo stretched out his index finger and pointed to the east of Taukaba: "Now that the main resistance forces in Taukaba are in these places, since Stasi wants to play the strategy of all the soldiers, he will inevitably increase the material aid to Taukaba...... Grain and grass, weapons, strategic armaments, these are not small amounts. According to our outside spy intelligence and confessions emanating from the interrogation of our captives, here, here, and here, should be their logistical transportation routes. โ
Then, Salamondo's index and middle fingers made a scissors motion to cut things: "Cut it off!" The surrounding villages and towns may be implicated, kill all the people there, and destroy even the roads, I don't want our enemies to get even a grain of wheat or a sword from this route." โ
"When the strategy was first implemented, we tried to spread our attitude to everyone in Taukaba. Now that so much time has passed, I think there is no need for those who still insist on not surrendering. โ
"On the other hand," Salamondo continued, "the Stasi have been on the sidelines for a little longer, and their territory is still almost intact...... That's not going to work. โ
"Your Excellency, you mean that we should take the initiative to invade them?" asked Gareto.
"Well, the unit that has been referring to some of the concepts of the Royal Capital Special Security Force has also had a rough size, right? Even if it's harassment, slaughter a village today, and bloody a city tomorrow...... It's better to keep them busy. Salamondo sneered, "You know, the victory or defeat of a war never depends only on the frontal battlefield...... Let our friend Grand Duke Jon surprise you for once. โ
"Okay, my subordinates will do it immediately. Garreto bowed deeply and turned to leave the room, but then as if he remembered something, he turned around again and said, "By the way, General, there has been some recent information that the Stasi side seems to be training special combat units similar to ours. Fortunately, they are lagging behind us in this regard, so do you want to ......?"
"Have you found out what they're all about?" asked Salamondo, looking up.
"Yes, Grand Duke Jon has indeed found some good seedlings and is cultivating them vigorously. However, their intelligence work is not as good as ours, and I already have some preliminary information. Gareto replied. "Those guys are still newbies, and while it's going to be a hassle when they grow up, it's not a hassle for us now. โ
"Then let the Abyss Nova make a big fuss, and take care of all the juniors by the way. Salamondo threw the pen in his hand and stood up.
"The subordinates understand. โ
Garreto bowed again and silently exited the room.
Meanwhile, in Stasi, a new crisis is looming over the Tokamaks.
In a tavern in a small city, several people dressed as adventurers were gathering in a room, discussing something in a solemn whisper.
"Are you sure, Captain Rano?"
A good-looking elven mage asked, looking at the unkempt beard druid beside him.
"Couldn't be more sure. The human druid nodded, spreading out the document in his hand, "There is Teacher Shariyes's mental power scanning, Miss Florentine's transfiguration detection, Master Russell's remote observation, and the prophecy of the Star Venerable's realm...... I have reason to believe that the information we have about the Tokamaks in the Ikut Valley is infinitely closer to the truth. โ
"In order to gain more power, I will try my best to kill all their ......," said a half-elven warlock in the corner, who looked like a child.
"Oh, Wellington, you're so cruel, you should be cute at this age, shouldn't you?"
With a teasing word, the young swordsman on the other side of the room drank the wine from his glass and smiled indifferently.
"Will, don't you say a word......" Seeing Wellington's instantly more indifferent expression, the female thief hurriedly stepped forward in embarrassment to relieve the siege.
If any other adventurer saw the appearance of these people, they would surely exclaim. Because...... This team is recognized by the Adventurer's Guild and is the third-ranked strong team in the Western Continent - the Red Gold Travel Group!
Although the Red Gold Tour is not the strongest group of adventurers, it is definitely the most special team.
All this is mainly due to the fact that as the head of the regiment, Rano, whose race is human, has reached the level of faith in dragons. And it does not favor colored dragons and metal dragons, and believes that the dragon family in the world is one.
Although this man has a wild transformation and a strong summoning spell, he is still used to transforming and then rushing into hand-to-hand combat.
In his words, "Why rely on spells when you can solve things that can be solved by hand-to-hand combat?"
So, although his summoning can command the gods, why should he use his mouth when he can subdue his opponents, as his elven mage companions say?
It is conceivable what this team would be like with such a deviant leader......
In short, their adventure group is such a maverick adventure group.
"Hilcut, a young half-blood dragon, has the talent of soul explosion, which is an attack that can directly act on the soul. โ
"Karamank, a young blue dragon, is gifted with super capacitors, and as long as he receives lightning-type damage, his strength will increase. โ
"Natalie, a young green dragon, is gifted as a spirit of nature, able to conduct large-scale intelligence reconnaissance through communication with natural animals and plants, and can even control earth and rock ......"
Reading the information quickly, Rano was secretly surprised in his heart. It is worthy of the information obtained by so many powerful people who have joined forces to investigate, and these dragons have been investigated clearly......
"Now, let's wait for an opportunity...... An opportunity to smash the Icourt Valley in one fell swoop!"
