Chapter 45 Plan

"Don't let me catch them, or I'll have to chop them up. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info," Horst said ruthlessly.

Now the Shenyang Empire and the Clark Empire are at war, and as a big family in the empire, they have defected to a hostile country. The impact is enormous, to put it mildly. It is very likely to shake the foundation of the rule of the Shenyang Empire.

Although the defector will be spurned by the common people, the signal he sends to the people is that the Shenyang Empire is difficult to fight against the Clark Empire. If the people really believe it, then all classes within the Shenyang Empire will face collapse.

Fortunately, the reputation of the Ao family in the Shenyang Empire is not very good, and the people do not seem to be surprised by the defection of the Ao family, which is well reflected in the newspaper brought by Tucker. There was even a large-scale march demanding that the Shenyang Empire send assassins to assassinate the children of the Ao family.

"By the way, I'm going to the Rhine Fortress in two days, and if Molia has a letter, remember to sign it for me. Horst figured out the letter he had written to Molya, and he should have replied to it for a while.

Leaving the Austra family alone, Horst continued to compile some notes, while Tucker walked out of the tent. Since the attack on Nuss and the murder of Tucker's parents, Horst has noticed that Tucker seems to be a different person, practicing hard and studying magic whenever he has a little spare time.

Life in the barracks is actually not boring. Just because it's a garrison doesn't mean you have to fight. Horst could clearly feel that the Shenyang Empire was in a state of declaring no war on the Clark Empire.

Two days later, Horst set off for the Rhine Fortress, where he arrived after a day's journey.

It's still the same building, inside the top floor.

A rectangular conference table, next to which sat a number of officers, discussing with each other what to do.

"The plan is this, if we pass through the border area between the Nas Empire, the Shenyang Empire, and the Clark Empire, we may be able to make a surprise attack. ”

"The question is, how can we ensure that the 50,000 army can pass through that area without any problems, knowing that there is a Phantom Forest there. ”

Someone spreads out a map on a rectangular table with various symbols.

"Send an advance team and guide it, and that will do. Dimmit sat aside and said with a vague expression.

At this time, in one of the reception houses of the Rhine Fortress, Horst was looking at some logs, which recorded the surrounding enemy situation of the Rhine Fortress. The logs were sent by Abbot Dimet, and Horst's residence was arranged by Abbot Dimet.

In fact, Horst wondered why Abbot Dimmit suddenly called himself from the garrison of the border defense line to the Rhine fortress. Maybe it's for the Ao family's affairs? This was Horst's first thought, although he had given the Ao family a spiritual spring quota, but the sudden treason of the Ao family happened, which was a bit surprising.

The environment of the reception center was not bad, Horst stayed here for two days, received the news, and immediately went to the military headquarters of the Rhine Fortress to report and be included in the surprise attack advance team.

A notice was also sent to Horst, who read it carefully and realized why he had been called to the Rhine Fortress by Abbot Dimmit.

It turned out that the military headquarters of the Shenyang Empire decided to launch a surprise attack on the Clark Empire, but the route of the surprise attack needed to pass through the Phantom Forest, which is located in the northwest of the Shenyang Empire in the middle of the border with Nas and Clarke, which belongs to the Borderlands.

Since it is a terra nullius, it is uninhabited all year round, making it a dangerous area. But since it was a surprise attack, it was necessary to take it by surprise, and after sending a large army to venture through this dangerous area, he would be able to establish a base in the southwest of the Clark Empire, that is, in the northwest of the Shenyang Empire. In this way, the base can form a kind of rivalry with the Rhine Fortress.

This kind of plan has been conceived in the past, but it has not been able to take shape after all, all because of the Phantom Forest.

Now, for various reasons, the military department has issued this combat plan, but it is necessary to send an advance team to open the way. Horst was selected to join the advance team, and whether there was a figure of Dimmitt in it, Horst could not guess.

The notice stated the configuration of the advance team, a total of ten people, four warriors, one singer, one assassin, and four mages.

Horst entered it as a summoning mage, and after a closer look, this advance team was about the third order, except for himself, who was below the second order.

The level of a mage is determined by the level of mana, and the higher the level of mana, the higher the combat power possessed.

Actually, this is also relative, cross-level fighting, which is what mages often do. Individuals have different understandings of the mage profession and choose different paths.

Just like the Gener Gna, although the level is not very high, he can fight beyond the ranks, and even defeat the fifth-order masters.

Although I don't know what kind of considerations Dean Dimmit would have arranged for himself to be in such an advance team. However, Horst will do his best anyway and follow the advance team to complete the mission.

The Phantom Forest is extremely mysterious, as described in the notification.

Walking into the military headquarters building, the atmosphere inside was extremely serious.

Horst saw Dean Dimmit standing at a desk on the first floor of the building, and immediately walked over to him.

"Isn't it surprising?" Dean Dimmit was a little concerned, "The task of the advance team is heavier and more dangerous, I hope you can bear it." ”

"I've sent people to test what kind of existence the Phantom Forest is before, but the people who have come back can't report why. "Horst had learned about the Phantom Forest before coming to the military headquarters to report, but he couldn't find any information anyway.

Even though the notice contained a brief description of the Phantom Forest, Horst still felt that the introduction was not very reliable.

"I can only tell you that the fate of the advance party is difficult to say, but it is indeed an operation that is related to the fate of the Empire. If we don't take the initiative now, in half a month, the Clark Empire will launch a spring offensive, and at that time, with the current national strength of the Shenyang Empire, it will be relatively difficult to resist. Dean Dimmit's face was a little worried, he was the First Mage Academy's Lower Branch Summoning Mage Academy, after this emergency conscription order was issued, as the instructor of the Academy, he had to follow the battle and participate in the analysis of the military department's battle situation.

There are many cadets in the lower house, but in the last attack, before the cadets could remember the formal training, some of them were damaged, and the entire cadet soldiers in the lower house could no longer meet the establishment requirements. Because of this, Dean Dimmit was somewhat worried about the future of the war.

Horst searched for information in his mind and realized that the Rhine was indeed a moat, but it also had weaknesses. In winter and spring, the water level of the Rhine River was relatively shallow, and it was also the time when the Clark Empire regularly attacked the border defenses. Like the attack more than half a month ago, when the water level of the Rhine was relatively low.

When spring and summer meet, the Rhine will have a relatively short period of interruption, when the water level of the Rhine will plummet or even be left without water. It was also at this time that it was often the moment of large-scale battles between the Shenyang Empire and the Clark Empire.

War, either dead or wounded.

Once that time comes, the lives will be destroyed and the flames of war will be ignited, and it will be out of control.

And now the intention of the military department is obvious, to launch a surprise attack, establish a base in the territory of the Clark Empire or on the border, and form a corner. At that time, it can suppress the offensive posture of the Clark Empire and reduce the pressure on the various defensive sections of the northern frontier.

"Of course, maybe you won't encounter danger, after all, the Phantom Forest is still relatively calm during this time period, and the probability of passing through safely is still relatively large. Dean Dimmit's words relieved Horst.

Obviously, it is impossible for the military headquarters to send such an advance team or army to death, at least under the premise of surveying.

Passing through the Phantom Forest is the key to the entire surprise attack plan.

"These are some teleportation scrolls, you hold them, and when the time comes, there will be some use. Dean Dimmit took out a few parchment scrolls and handed them to Horst, "The rest of the advance team will have them too, I'll just give them to you first." ”

Horst looked at the teleportation scroll in his hand, a little puzzled, and asked, "Since it has the function of a teleportation scroll, why don't you directly teleport our advance team to the territory of the Clark Empire?"

After asking this sentence, Horst was a little confused. The mission of the advance team you belong to is to clear the way for a large army, and if you use the teleportation scroll to teleport the advance team into the Clark Empire, it will conflict with the mission.

"It can be done, but it needs to be positioned. The number of locating scrolls is not much, and the scrolls I gave you are all non-locating teleportation, that is, they are randomly teleported to the nearest teleportation array. It is usually in the city lord's mansion, where there is a teleportation circle according to the regulations. Dean Dimmit explained, there was some magic in the old man's voice, "The production of the positioning scroll takes time, and there is a limit to the number of people who can be teleported, and it is indeed possible to teleport an advance team of ten of you, but it is not easy to teleport an army of 50,000 people. ”

Horst stopped talking, knowing that this method was not feasible and an unrealistic problem.

Suddenly, three more people came in on the first floor of the military headquarters building, and Horst looked over and found that they were all elemental mage costumes, obviously the other three mages in the advance team.

"I've seen Dean Dimmit. ”

"This is your senior, a third-year student of the Elemental Mage Academy, and if they take care of you, this surprise attack should not be too dangerous. ”

"Horst. ”

"Ian, Myron, Nigel. Several people informed each other of their names, and they knew each other.
