CHAPTER XXIII
The team from the High Academy was taken to a camp next to the Guardian's House, while Artoria was taken to a heavily guarded conference room. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
At this time, the two sides of the vermilion rectangular table in the conference room were already filled with generals in military uniforms.
Artoria walked to the top of the left side and sat down, led by the guards, with a serious expression.
Several generals exchanged glances with each other, all speculating on the identity of this heroic and beautiful blonde girl.
To be able to attend this meeting, all the generals present were at least high-level Nirvana Realm Great Cultivators, so they could sense Artoria's aura that belonged to the Heavenly Venerable.
However, Artoria was not a member of the military rank, so although she was a Heavenly Venerable, they did not need to salute him on such occasions. Of course, the necessary respect is a must.
There was silence in the room, everyone was thinking about their problems, and no one was talking.
didn't wait too long, the door opened, and Li Mu and Bai Qi, who were dressed in armor, walked in, followed by a young officer.
The generals stood up in unison and looked at the two of them.
"Sit!"
Li Mu walked to the top seat, glanced at the people present, simply spit out the word, and then sat down. Shiroki is seated in the top seat on the right.
A group of generals also sat down.
Li Mu looked at the generals present and said, "Before the meeting begins, I would like to introduce to you a professor from the Supreme Academy, Her Excellency Artoria. ”
Artoria stood up and bowed slightly to the crowd.
Li Mu continued: "Your Excellency Artoria was entrusted by the Dean to lead the elite students of the Supreme Academy to come to the Zhenlong Fortress to participate in the next series of actions. The specific arrangements will be discussed by me, General Bai Qi, and His Excellency Artoria, and the General Staff will make a plan. ”
Let's get down to business. ”
As soon as these words came out, all the generals present subconsciously straightened their bodies and looked at Li Mu with blazing eyes.
"First of all, Cheng Lin will introduce the current situation to you. ”
Li Mu turned sideways slightly, and the young officer who had been standing behind him stepped forward and gave a neat military salute to the generals present.
Looking at his momentum, all the generals nodded slightly unconsciously.
Cheng Linchu is an elite student of the command major of the Military Department of the Supreme College. Because of his outstanding performance during his studies and his extremely high qualifications, he was given the opportunity to be sent to the front line and serve as Li Mu's adjutant.
Facing the group of senior generals from the major fortresses and legions in the Zhenlong Theater present, the young officer did not have a trace of stage fright, and said, "Please take a look at this situation map first. ”
The light came on, and a detailed map was projected onto a large white screen on the wall directly above the room.
On the map, mountains, rivers, lakes, fortresses, cities, etc. are marked in great detail.
Cheng Linchu held a whip in his hand, pointed to a thin line on the map that cut the map into two halves: "This is the dividing line between the periphery of the 100,000 Mountains and the middle encirclement, and it is also the deployment area of the 'Heavenly Barrier' defense line in our defense area. ”
As he spoke, a long wall-like icon appeared on the map, stretching along the dividing line, connecting the Xiongguan Dangerous Passes.
Cheng Linchu gestured with his whip and said with a glance: "Half a month ago, the Outer Heaven Demon Army appeared under the Zhenlong Fortress. ”
A large black arrow appeared on the map pointing directly at the largest fortress.
"In the past half a month, several other fortresses in the war zone have also discovered the invasion of the Outer Demon Army. ”
Black arrows appeared one after another, pointing straight to the major fortresses.
"According to the reconnaissance report of the aerial reconnaissance unit, we have roughly figured out the movements of the demon army outside the sky in our defense area. ”
As the words fell, a large black area appeared on the map, and one of the hideous shadows loomed. In some places in the black area, there are black and purple bright spots scattered one after another, and the number is as many as dozens.
"According to the reconnaissance results of the reconnaissance troops, the extraterrestrial demons that are currently appearing in the 100,000 mountains are mainly the demon race, one of the four major races, in addition to some other small race armies. We didn't find the armies of the other three races. ”
Cheng Lin Chu said: "Everyone, please see, these black areas represent areas that have been invaded by demons outside the sky. Those black spots are the locations of the demon camps that we have reconnoitred, and there are no less than a million demon soldiers stationed in each camp. And as the demon army continues to descend on Cangxuan, the number of these black dots is still rising. ”
"At present, the demon army is mainly sweeping the surrounding area of the 100,000 mountains, and all the demon powerhouses who have crossed the world barrier and descended to Cangxuan have been put into this task, so they have not attacked outside the 100,000 mountains in a big way. The attack half a month ago was just a test for them. ”
"According to the inference of the General Staff, the Demon Clan should have preliminarily mastered the vast majority of the area in the middle of the 100,000 Great Mountains, and will gradually devote their strength to breaking through the Heavenly Barrier defense line in the next time. In the past half a month, the major fortresses have been attacked and harassed by the demon army one after another, which is a sign. ”
"Due to the expansion of the dark canopy, our aerial reconnaissance forces have been greatly limited, so we have very little knowledge of the specific situation in the central area. But one thing is for sure, in this area, there is resistance. ”
"Based on the intelligence of the major defense areas, the Eastern Wilderness City conducted a battle situation deduction. The conclusion of the deduction was that according to the current development of the situation, the demon clan should be able to completely sweep away all the resistance forces in the central area within three months, and completely complete the control of the area outside the defense line of the 100,000 Great Mountain and Heavenly Barrier. And at that time, it was also the time when the demons attacked our defense line in a big way. ”
"And considering that the 100,000 Great Mountains span the three regions, the situation in the other two regions will also have a certain impact on the Eastern Wilderness Region. Therefore, this period can be extended up to five months. ”
Listening to Cheng Linchu's introduction, the generals were thoughtful.
At this time, Li Mu said: "We must prepare for the worst. Therefore, each fortress must be ready for battle at any time, especially after three months, it is very likely to face a large-scale invasion of the demon army. All the soldiers must be ready for battle!"
"No!"
The generals' faces turned pale and they agreed in unison.
Li Mu said again: "Once a demon powerhouse is discovered, each fortress must report it as soon as possible. The Supreme Academy will send the strong to help. ”
After speaking, he said to Cheng Linchu: "Go on." ”
"Yes. ”
Cheng Lin Chu responded, and continued: "Due to the strategy of the Outer Heaven Demon, the main enemy we faced in the early stage was the army of the Demon Clan. Below, I will introduce the results of our research on the configuration of the demon army during this time, the individual strength characteristics of the demon soldiers, and the corresponding restraint plan. ”
Hearing this, the generals present perked up, and stared at Cheng Linchu with blazing eyes.
This is the most intuitive and effective thing to help in the war.
As for why the main enemy in the early stage is the demon army, it is also easy to understand.
The Outer Heaven Demon relies on the Dark Sky Canopy to erode the world barrier, and the Dark Sky Dome is essentially demonic energy. Therefore, they need to rely on the demons to continuously grow the demonic energy and strengthen the dark sky.
And the gap channel on the current world barrier is not large, far from enough to project troops to the Cangxuan Continent on a large scale. Therefore, it can be determined that this passage must have been mainly used to transport the army of the demons in the early stage.
