Chapter 268: Battle Plan
After listening to Ellie's explanation of the characteristics of the various families in the Dawn Mountains, I also thought about how to open the breakthrough. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
I tilted my head and looked at Elle with confidence.
The little guy glared as if to say, 'Huh?'.
It's still inconvenient to have no telepathy.
"That's right"
An important question suddenly occurred to me.
"How long have these cavemen been on the march?"
"Two or three days."
Ellie replied, still looking at me quizzically.
"No, what I want to ask is, where does their food come from, and is there logistical supplies?"
When the question was asked, the heralds gathered in front of the large round table and checked the information one by one against the markings on the map.
"If it's a small legion, they'll eat whatever they see on the road like a swarm of locusts."
Elle said to me in a dry tone.
Forehead...... It's understandable why elves hate these creatures.
"But on such a large scale...... There aren't many natural foods on the Black Fire Plateau......"
"I really don't know what they eat"
Ellie shook her head, she had also encountered something she didn't know.
The little one is indeed very proficient in magic, but otherwise it is not much different from a normal little girl.
"They were marching to the border before we left the Dawn Mountains"
Lord Liu Xiao spoke.
"I haven't completely left the Dawn Mountains until now, probably for this reason"
As he spoke, Liu Xiao pointed to the circles on the map.
"If you eat wherever you go, then the team will become a flowing water or a tree."
"The circle shows that they had a division of labor for transporting food, and that they placed this valuable thing in the center of the line"
It makes sense.
Speaking of which, I also wondered why they formed large circles when they marched, instead of practicing in one piece.
If the reason for the shortage of grain and grass is to be explained, it is very appropriate.
This also just explains why as soon as the magic of the Great Enchantment covered the Dawn Mountains, all the cavemen rushed towards the Dawn Mountains as if they had received some kind of **-
They were hungry.
"By the way, how is our army supplied?"
"The north side is mainly from the Dawn River Valley, transporting grain along the waterway"
"In the middle of the line of defense is El Gonda, and there are flying ships connecting the transport lines in the vicinity of the periphery"
"The southern line of defense is mainly supplied by the white wood forest strip"
It seems that the supply lines of the elves are completely fine, both hidden within the territory and have a strong supply capacity.
This is probably the reason why all the elven warriors are concentrated on the front line and have not crushed the supply lines.
"But Kyle is so bold, Elgunda is obviously the center of the entire defense line, but he doesn't have any troops to defend it at all"
"Oh, this is because, the defense line between the north and south was very tight for a while, but the royal city was very safe, so Kyle had to send the royal city's troops to reinforce the other defense lines"
A herald in golden armor said to me.
He was probably the herald of the army sent out by Ergonda.
"Then why didn't the cavemen attack Elgunda?"
"Haha......"
My words drew a burst of laughter from the heralds around me.
"Silly boy, no caveman dares to approach Elgonda"
There was a smug look in Ellie's voice.
"After all, this is the city that my brother guards"
Ooh!
Mespier, the elven prince of the past, is now the elven king.
At the Great Stump, just by showing up, scared off the troglodyte army.
I also once trained the Mespier in the best equipment in the Colosseum.
Seriously, his strength makes it feel like this thing isn't a creature of this world.
If I were a caveman, I wouldn't want to go head-on with Mespil.
Speaking of which......
The surroundings of the royal city were so quiet that no caveman even dared to enter the noise making range.
Admire, admire, admire.
However, on the other hand, if it is revealed that Maispear is not in the royal city, then the city is equivalent to giving it to someone else.
I looked at Ellie, intending to deploy defensively.
The little one seemed to understand the words in my eyes and nodded to me.
"Everyone"
The heralds all looked back at me.
Anyway, this feeling of being in the limelight made me feel uncomfortable.
Although strategically optimistic, the pressure remains heavy.
Now in front of the defense line of the Dawn Mountains, there are at least 400,000 troglodytes in four circles, almost catching up with the entire population of the Dawn Mountains.
"Summoning the elite forces of El Gonda, and when the operation begins, I hope that they will be able to form a defensive line on the periphery of El Gonda, and pretend that El Gonda has sufficient troops"
"And prevent any cavemen who flee in a panic from discovering that this is an empty city"
The herald in the golden armor listened to my words and first set his eyes on Ellie.
The little one nodded at him.
"Got it"
He nodded to Ellie, too.
"Can the Shuoshi family accept to fight separately?"
I asked the herald of the pretentious Stonestone family.
"It is a great honor for us to carry out the orders from the royal court and lead the elven forces to victory"
The herald's words were full of aristocratic arrogance, but in any case, it seemed that their loyalty to the royal family was strong.
"Although the army of the Shuoshi family can form a very good combat force when armed alone, but now the battle front is very broad, if you can lead different legions"
"Will play a bigger role"
"What's your plan?"
The herald of the Stonestone family looked at me a little differently than he did when he looked at Ellie.
Probably because my surname is Makusugi and Elle's surname is Akaba, but since I'm now assisting the regent, he still maintains his cooperation.
"The Shuoshi family is divided into two armies, one with strong mobility, and marches quickly to the southern defense line"
"Form an alliance with the Shiraki, Higashimatsu, and Fengye families here"
Speaking of this, I looked at the female herald of the Shiraki family.
"Is that okay?"
Test her tone.
"If the plan of the royal court is reasonable, we will fully support it"
Ha, worthy of being a member of the Baimu family, the way of speaking and values are completely different from the Shuoshi family.
She was reserved in her words, presumably wanting to listen to the whole plan before making a judgment, a rationality that contrasted markedly with the herald's zeal for honor.
But as she expected, it would be better to finish the whole plan first.
"Our defense line is too wide, and we are fighting separately, and the final effect is less than one plus one"
"So shrink the northernmost and southernmost forces in the middle and close to the edge of Ergunda, forming two groups, north and south."
"There are four families in the northern group: Yan Feng, Velvet, Spruce, and Crescent, many of which are good at using weapons."
"There are four families in the southern group: Shiraki, Higashimatsu, Fengye, and Shuoshi, and they are all good at using magic except for Shuoshi."
"Mixed groups are the most adaptable, but now there is no time or space for full translation"
"So my plan is"
I pointed to the two circles below the royal city, in front of the Shiraki family's defensive line.
"The group to the south uses long-range magic to disrupt the march of these two groups of enemies, distancing them from the circle in front of them"
"At the same time, the group in the north made a feint, so that the two circles in front did not dare to turn back and converge with the rear"
"When the time for the attack comes, it will be the next sunrise"
"The group from the north cut in from the frontal line of Ergonda, merged with the reinforcements from Karsta, and completely cut off their ranks"
"At the same time, the group to the south advanced its position, cutting off the retreat of this group of cavemen into the ancient forest, forming an encirclement."
"The purpose is to eat the 200,000 in the encirclement"
"Therefore, in the Northern Group, it is necessary to be led by the brave Shuoshi family, so that it is more certain that it can accurately cut into the area between the two circles."
After that, the hall suddenly fell silent.
"Huh?"
To my surprise, the first person to question it was Ellie.
"Then the territory to the north of us will be given to them for nothing?"
I shook my head.
"It would be even more disadvantageous if they were allowed to march north, resulting in a situation where 400,000 cavemen would all gather in the northern part of the Dawn Mountains."
"If ......"
Then I said that one of the heralds said that this elf was wearing frost-white armor with a curved moon painted on it, and that he was a member of the Crescent Moon family.
"If you can really wipe out these 200,000, the remaining 200,000 will have no military spirit to speak of, and there will be almost no obstacles for the coalition forces to attack them head-on."
"But the key to this plan is to wipe out all the besieged cavemen in the south before the troglodyte army in the north turns back, otherwise the legions in the north will be counter-surrounded."
Another elf in golden armor said.
"It's not a problem"
Another elf in red armor also spoke, his armor was similar to that of Red Cliff City, but with a hammer and a sword painted on it.
This is the elf of the velvet family, a skilled craftsman from the Valley of the Dawn.
"If our legions to the north can really cut out and merge with the Kastas"
"Our chariots, combined with the great strength of the Kastatans, can form a strong rear, even if the cavemen in the north turn back, they will not be able to break through immediately"
These elves seem to be more reliable than I thought.
The girl of the Shiraki family was also pinching her chin and carefully considering this plan.
Everyone in this magical family is a smart person, and she has probably seen that whether it is contained or contained, there are very high requirements for the magic of the Shiraki family.
She looked up and saw that I was looking at her, so she asked me.
"You want our Shiraki family to make sure that when the next sunrise comes, the pressure from us will make the troglodyte army panic."
"What should I do?"
I don't know if she was questioning or testing me.
"Use far-reaching magic to continuously attack the central area of the troglodyte army"
She seemed to react.
"Grain and Grass"
It seems that these elves, who are used to magic warfare, are not very familiar with the art of war.
"In addition, cavemen prefer dark and damp environments, and after sunrise, dilute the clouds in the sky with the magic of the wind to increase the intensity of sunlight."
This is Wang Yun's philosophy.
The so-called, on the battlefield, everything in heaven and earth can be used as a weapon to attack the enemy.
While a single weapon may be ineffective, when combined, it can often be a key force to victory.
The elf thought for a moment, then looked up at me again.
"It's doable, we do have the magic to do that"
Then she glanced back at the herald of the Stonestone family.
"I understand, the Shiraki family will obey the orders of the royal court, and the front line will be under the leadership of the Shuoshi family"
The herald of the Shuoshi family had a smug look on his face.
Whewββ
I lowered my eyes and scanned the map again, my mind pounding.
It's not because deploying an army with these elves is making me too advanced.
It's because I don't know what to do with this plan.
It's easy to put an idea on paper, but it's hard to bring it to life on a living battlefield.
I looked back at Liu Xiao.
The girl didn't look back at me, but continued to stare at the map.
After that, she nodded slightly.
It made me feel a sense of excitement.
The plan works!
