In his sleep, Al was woken up by Hermione. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Al, wake up!" Hermione shook Al's body, and when she saw Al open his eyes, she said anxiously, "Something happened!"

"What's wrong?" Al rubbed his eyes, yawned heavily, and said, "Is the White Witch also attacking the camp?"

"Aslan is gone!"

"What!?" Al instantly lost his sleep, and a spirit rose from his bed, and he asked in surprise, "Aslan is gone? How is this possible? Is he kidnapped?"

As the commander and hope of the whole army, if Aslan goes missing, it will be a big deal.

Al got dressed and ran out of the tent with Hermione, and walked briskly to Aslan's tent.

Peter, Edmund, Ores, and Asaph were all standing outside Aslan's tent, all with their heads bowed, looking sad and depressed.

Al lifted the curtain of the tent, and sure enough, it was empty.

"What the hell is going on, why is Aslan gone?" Al asked.

"It's not like it's gone. Peter said, "It's him...... He's dead. ”

Al looked at Peter in shock.

"Lucy told me through the flower spirit. Peter continued, "While I was sleeping, I received news from the flower spirit, who said that Aslan had left the camp alone and went to the stone table. ”

Lucy and Susan secretly followed him, found the White Witch waiting there, and she led her men to kill Aslan without resistance. ”

"How could this be?" Al muttered, "something must have happened! Otherwise, Aslan wouldn't have gone to his death without saying a word." ”

"But why did he do that?" asked Asaph.

"Maybe it has something to do with that agreement. Hermione exclaimed, "Remember, the White Witch said before she left?" ”

Al sat down on a boulder in a daze, he turned his head to look at Edmund, and now it seems that the agreement between the White Witch and Aslan must have exchanged Aslan's own life for Edmund's life.

Aslan, you are such a great king...... But do you really want to give up all the hopes of Narnia for the sake of one person?

Sighing, Al looked up at the sky, it was not yet dawn, but it was the last darkness before dawn.

"After killing Aslan, the White Witch will deal with us right away, and I reckon her army will be coming after dawn. ”

Peter and the others looked at each other, and then Peter spoke: "Since Aslan is no more, now, you are the only one to lead us." ”

"Me?" Al looked at Peter in amazement, then looked at the others, and found that they were all looking at him with a look of approval.

"Why me? There's General Oris here......"

"You're better suited than I am. "Your deeds are praised by all, and your identity is known to everyone, so they are more willing to obey you." ”

"But I don't have any experience commanding armies!" Al said, shaking his head, "The soldiers won't trust an inexperienced general. ”

"You've done a good job before. Hermione encouraged, "Don't forget, it was your plan of sneak attack that led to our previous victory. ”

Seeing what Al wanted to say, Hermione preemptively said, "And Aslan must have believed in you very much, that's why he didn't say anything and left us so carelessly." ”

After a long silence, Al looked at Peter with a serious expression, and after thinking about it, he finally nodded in agreement.

"Well, since you all trust me so much, I will do my best to bring you victory. ”

"So, my lord, what is your first order?" asked Oris solemnly.

"Wake everyone up, we're going to go to Grey Mountain and set up a defensive line. Al gave the first order, "If the White Witch thinks that killing Aslan will make us fall apart and sit still, then she is very wrong!"

.........

Early in the morning, Ash Mountain.

By the time the first rays of sunlight hit the top of Ash Mountain, countless Narnia soldiers had already built an improvised line of defense at the foot of the mountain, piling up boulders.

Dressed in silver armor and a sword at his waist, Al stood on the top of the mountain, staring into the distance. Behind him, Peter and Oris gathered around the map, discussing the deployment of the army.

"We should place the archers on the top of the hill. "When the enemy comes into range, throw the eagles into the air with stones, and then let the archers shoot and destroy the enemy from a distance." ”

"Then when the White Witch's army approached, we attacked, with the centaurs at the front, taking advantage of the centaurs' speed to cut through their ranks, and the rest of the soldiers following behind the centaurs before destroying the remnants of the enemy. ”

Peter, Edmund, and Asaph all nodded their heads, all believing that Oreth's plan was very feasible.

After discussing the countermeasures, Oris came up behind El and asked, "My lord, what do you think of this?"

Al turned and looked at them.

"Is this always the case in the world of Narnia, where the archers shoot first, then the cavalry charges, and finally the infantry picks up the remnants?"

Oris nodded at first, then asked suspiciously, "What's wrong with this?"

Peter also looked at Al with some puzzlement, not knowing what Al meant by this, because in Peter's memory, the ancient wars in their world were the same.

"I don't know anything about military affairs, but I think it's the same as playing chess. "It's all about using the resources at hand, creating an advantage, then expanding the advantage, and finally destroying the enemy." ”

"Now I want to ask you, what is the enemy's advantage, and what is our advantage?"

These things were in everyone's mind, so without thinking about it, Asaph said, "The advantage of the enemy is that they are outnumbered, and ours is the advantage of having a favorable terrain. ”

"You're right. Al nodded, "But I want to warn you that you're not talking about everything. Our advantage, in addition to occupying the terrain, has one of the most important things, and that is cavalry. ”

"The White Witch doesn't have cavalry like the centaurs, so this is a huge advantage for us, and we should let the centaurs stick like a sharp sword in the enemy's soft underbelly, rather than being consumed in the confrontation between the two armies. ”

"The enemy is several times outnumbered by us, and once the horses rush into the enemy's line, they will be caught up in endless hand-to-hand combat, unable to take advantage of their speed, and will only be slowly exhausted. ”

"And that's the last thing I want to see. ”
