Chapter 397: The Beginning of War (I)
"Report, the other party's vanguard has camped a hundred miles away, but their follow-up troops have not stopped and are still advancing!"
"The latest situation just came, a small detachment on the other side broke away from the main force, and entered the forest twenty minutes ago, and the satellite lost its target!"
"According to the current intelligence, the number of troops on the other side is at least 50,000, and it is expected that the total number will more than double when it reaches the city tomorrow!"
After coming out of the communication room, Zhang Zheng has been staying in the war room, and with him are the captains of the major ships and the chief officers of the army!
The communication room will transmit information almost every ten minutes, as the facts of the information are updated, the wrinkles on Zhang Zheng's forehead are getting deeper and deeper, and the faces of the other responsible persons are not good-looking, when it comes to fighting, they are not afraid of anyone, but this time the situation is different, the number of people on the other side is too large, and their own side is not even standing on their heels!
Everyone felt the great pressure, their total strength was less than 10,000, and many of them were non-combatants, and the other party, the people who dared to come were definitely elite soldiers, thanks to the blessings of their predecessors, human beings can be described as notorious, where do they dare to argue with human beings without any strength and guts!
"War is about to start, what do you guys think of the format this time?"
Tianlong looked at the military map and carefully studied the opponent's troop layout before speaking
"Young Master, although judging from the lineup, the other party is just a group of temporarily formed miscellaneous troops, but there are too many of them, if they wait for them to gather troops and flock up, we will be very passive with few people!"
After Tianlong finished speaking, another senior officer stood up closely
"General Tianlong is right, moreover, their main force this time is elves and dwarves, now we all know, dwarves have muskets, elves' archery skills should not be underestimated, in the face of such an enemy, our guns do not have the advantage we feel, especially when the number of opponents is ten times that of ours!"
"So, I suggest that we should take the initiative and catch them off guard before they have yet to form a climate!"
The officer's words were echoed by many people, and when he finished speaking, several generals nodded their heads
"I agree to take the initiative!"
"That's right, bomb with planes and helicopter gunships, and then send out combat teams to ambush, make sure to demoralize them before they assemble, and it's best to let them retreat!"
"You're right......"
The tactics of taking the initiative to attack won the approval of most people, but Zhang Zheng did not speak, and at this time, Xue Ji suddenly put forward a different opinion
"It's good to be proactive, but I don't think it's a good idea!"
After she finished speaking, Zhang Zheng's eyes lit up, and he looked at her and said
"Go on!"
"Yes, young master!"
Yukihime stood up and said
"I think everyone has fallen into a misunderstanding, the purpose of our here is to open trade routes, not to start a war, the people here have a deep misunderstanding of us, if a large-scale war breaks out with us this time, no matter the final victory or defeat, we are the losing side!"
"Alright, I'm done!"
Before Yukihime finished speaking, someone immediately retorted
"We all understand what you mean Xue Ji, but what can we do, this war is not provoked by us, they don't give us a chance to explain, is it possible that the other party has hit the door, and we won't fight back?"
"Yes, the other party has gathered so many people, menacing, it is clear that they want to put us to death, if they don't resist, they can't wait for death, in my opinion, fight first and then talk about it, it doesn't matter what business he does or not, as long as he subdues them, everything is easy to say!"
"You said it lightly, I'm afraid it's not easy to do, you think we're at home, the other party is not soft-footed shrimp, just our people and ammunition, if we really want to fight, it's not certain who wins and who loses"
The officers had their own opinions, refused to give in to each other, and finally they were all about to quarrel, and Zhang Zheng had to stand up to stop them from doing some boring actions
"Okay, don't argue, each of you has a point!
"First of all, we are here to do business, not to fight with people, and secondly, you yourself said that we are few people, I know that you are not afraid of war, let alone death, but it is not because of this, you are not brutal!"
After speaking, Zhang Zheng looked at Tianlong
"Tianlong, you are in charge of the arsenal, tell me whether our ammunition can withstand the consumption of a large-scale war!"
"Report to the young master, if there is a large-scale war, our ammunition will only last for one or two days at most, and it may be shorter!"
After Tianlong finished speaking, Zhang Zheng spread his hands and said helplessly
"Everyone has heard it, we are simply not enough to deal with the current situation, if the ammunition is exhausted, the soldiers will have to go up with knives and engage in hand-to-hand combat, do you think that our thousands of people will be the opponent of the other party's 100,000 people?"
Speaking of this, Zhang Zheng slapped the table with his hand
"Therefore, we can only defend, we must not take the initiative to provoke incidents, and then try to negotiate with them, as you said, take the initiative to attack, take the initiative to provoke a war, that is likely to be out of control!"
After speaking, Zhang Zheng issued an order again
"Send the order to let the defense line be expanded to the head of the city, and in addition, while there is time, build a trench outside the city to block their attack!"
"Yes!"
The arrangements were almost arranged, and Zhang Zheng was just about to announce the dismissal of the meeting, but at this time, a news suddenly came that surprised everyone
"Report, a dozen minutes ago, we found out that there are two mysterious teams, with an ominous race and a large number of people!"
"Send the pictures to the war room right away!"
"Understood!"
A few minutes later, the communication room had someone deliver the newly taken photo to Zhang Zheng. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
One of them is a race that Zhang Zheng has never seen, and the goblins have not mentioned, it looks similar to the appearance of the elves, but the skin color is different, the skin of the elves is white with a faint brittle green, and now these people, the skin on their bodies is blood-red, and Zhang Zheng also found that there are other races hidden in this team, the same as the legendary angel Yitouch, but the skin and wings are dark black, these people are mixed in the blood-colored torrent, which is extremely dazzling!
The other Zhang Zheng was very familiar, and he couldn't help but scream just by looking at it
"Damn, it's them, how did these skeletons appear here!"
Dark forces, Zhang Zhengke is no stranger at all, this information brings Zhang Zheng a bit of excitement, originally he thought that the dark forces only exist in the Brilliant Continent, and they only dare to hide in the dark and dare not see people, he never dreamed that after crossing the ocean, thousands of miles away from the Brilliant Continent, he can still see these guys, and it seems that their power here is extremely strong!
Regarding the matter of the dark forces, the people present more or less knew a little, Xiong Ren saw that Zhang Zheng reacted so much, he couldn't help but take a few pictures and look at them a few times, and then scolded with a little shock
"How is it possible, how can these goddamn bastards be here!"
Tianlong Fox wondered
"I really didn't expect to come across these things like this, looking at this number, you say, their nest can't be here, right?"
Yukihime nodded
"It's very likely, no wonder the temple hasn't been able to get rid of them completely for so many years!"
"But how did they get there? They didn't have a warship that could fly across the sea!"
At this time, Zhang Zheng interrupted their conversation
"I think I know how they passed, we used to think badly, after wandering on the sea for so long, have you noticed that except for the sea area of the Dark Continent, which is very dangerous, there is basically no danger in other places, and there are only some small winds and waves, as long as you get a slightly larger boat, and bring a group of strong people, you can deal with it!"
"Moreover, we all know that those skeletons are not like people, they are not life at all, but a group of monsters that have been made by people with special methods, so it doesn't matter if they are shipwrecked, just throw them away as garbage if they sink!"
After analyzing the way the skeletons crossed the sea with the officers, Zhang Zheng felt that everyone's attention seemed to be biased, so he quickly changed his words to bring everyone's attention back to the topic!
"Okay, let's not care if their headquarters is here or not, and how they crossed the sea, the only thing that matters now is to quickly figure out what the purpose of this group of skeletons and another mysterious army is!"
"Do you want to join in the fun and us!"
After speaking, Zhang Zheng asked people to temporarily put aside the large army that was about to enter the city, and did his best to monitor the skeletons' every move, not that Zhang Zheng couldn't distinguish the main and secondary, but the appearance of the skeletons made him have to pay attention! Compared with the combined army of various races, the dark forces are more dangerous.
They are ferocious, inhumane, emotionless, not even feeling, except to kill and kill!
Since discovering their traces, Zhang Zheng even canceled his plan to disband, and sat in the war room with a group of people to wait, and half an hour later, the communication room sent the news again
"Report, the latest news, the dark forces and another mysterious team have converged!"
Zhang Zheng exclaimed
"Convergence, they're coming towards us too?"
Zhang Zheng's heart sank, if the other party really came to intervene, then the matter would be a big deal, and a bloody battle would be inevitable!
However, the guard's next words surprised him
"Back to the young master, judging from their route, they shouldn't be coming towards us, they seem to be heading towards the Elven Forest"
After the guard finished speaking, Zhang Zheng bent down on the map
"Heading towards the Elven Forest, that's the elven nest! In order to deal with us, the elven clan seems to have already poured out the nest, which means that they are now empty inside! These people choose to set off towards the elven forest at this time......
Speaking of this, Zhang Zheng threw the pen in his hand and shouted
"No, they want to end up in the lair!!"
