Chapter 103: Counterattack on the Fortress (1st Update)
The purpose of the demon dwarf cannon fodder tactics is probably to lure a tenth-level magician to make a move and create an opportunity for the Sky Elf killer, but because Tinas sacrificed her life to save her, Indira escaped a catastrophe, which can be regarded as a heavy loss, although it doesn't matter if 100,000 cannon fodder were buried in vain, but the loss of dozens of troll dwarves is believed to make the demon dwarf feel bloody.
In addition, the big explosion caused by Lin Lei on the Xilian passage may also make the demon dwarf scruple and dare not act rashly, anyway, until dawn, there is no new siege action from the demon dwarf, otherwise, the stone blocking the Xilian passage is a matter of a few jumps for the demon dwarf.
At dawn, the reinforcements of the Goddess Hall arrived as scheduled, a total of 20 seventh-level great magicians, 60 fifth-level demon warriors, the strength is comparable to all the noble guards in the heyday, and the leader of the team is another famous tenth-level archmage in the Goddess Palace, known as the head of the equipment battalion of Pu Lao...... 's personal disciples.
After Lin Lei's "bloody" treatment, Tinasi's wound miraculously healed quickly, and under the urging of life magic, it would take at most half a day to recover as before, even faster than Indila's recovery.
At this time, Tinas and Lin Lei were converging with the leaders of the Xifu City defense line and gathering in the command camp with the reinforcements of the Temple of the Goddess for a meeting.
Lin Lei, as the only person in the Southern Regions who has gone deep into the Talisman Forest, also made an exception to provide information reference.
Also making an exception was the fourth child of the Robles family, who was in Noah's College, because he couldn't hook up with Linda, he was annoyed and angry, and was abused by Lin Lei as a dog.
In fact, Phoenix was also the fuse that directly prompted Lin Lei to stir into this troubled water, if it weren't for the Robles family, Lin Lei would not be so idle, and follow Johnnedy to the Talisman Forest.
However, if there was no Lin Lei, Johnnedy, the cheap uncle, might have died in the Rune Forest again, and when it comes to this, it is impossible to tell whether to blame or thank Phoenix.
When the two looked at each other, it was as if nothing had happened, and each smiled politely, but one looked at him with implicit resentment, and the other smiled at him, which looked very fake, and gave people a feeling of "I just deliberately let you know that I was fake".
The atmosphere in the command camp was a little solemn, and everyone bowed their heads and remained silent, thinking about something with a solemn expression.
Pu Lao's personal disciple, He Dongshi, a seventh-level thunder great magician, sat in the position of the head of the Ying Emperor, opposite Tinas.
That was originally the position of the military department Eureka, but the identity of He Dongshi's personal disciple was not trivial, according to the etiquette of the imperial aristocracy, when the personal disciple was on a formal occasion, he almost represented the status of the mentor, and Eureka, the head of the military department, of course, had to "let Xian".
"Ahem......" He Dongshi drew everyone's attention with two dry coughs: "What do you think about? This is an opportunity once and for all, now that the demon dwarf reinforcements have not arrived, as long as we can take the opportunity to recapture the fortress, no matter what the situation is in the future, we can hold the initiative in the war."
With the reinforcements of the Temple of the Goddess as the main force, plus the hidden route provided by Lord Phoenix, to take the fortress directly, I think this is a foolproof thing, what else is difficult for everyone to decide. ”
"Your Excellency He Dongshi......" Tinasi's face was a little hesitant: "Regarding the new troll dwarves that Lin Lei mentioned before, we still don't know anything about them for the time being, whether it is individual combat power, or the number of groups, and whether they exist in the fortress at present, we don't have any information, and if we attack rashly, I don't think it's safe."
Even putting this aside, if you don't have a superior military force to defend it for a long time, it doesn't make much sense to take the fortress. Although the fortress guards the Xilian passage, the current Xilian Mountain, the mountains are full of jungles, which is very different from the environment of strange rocks more than 100 years ago.
Where there is a jungle, it is the world of the demon dwarves, and our southern regions and the demon dwarves are actually in a state of war, and the demon eye fortress surrounded by the jungle is equivalent to falling into the demon dwarves on all sides at any time, even if it is recaptured, there is no need to garrison. ”
"Lord Tinas, even if the Demon Eye Fortress is no longer valuable, we can't let the Demon Dwarves occupy it in vain and do nothing, otherwise, it will only attract more Demon Dwarves to use the fortress as a base to continue to increase their aggression in the Southern Regions.
As for the troll dwarves that His Excellency Lin Lei said, it is really unheard of, could it be that His Excellency Lin Lei was panicked and mistaken for a while, and there is also a lot of room for discussion, if this alone is based on this, will it be a bit too trivial to veto Lord He Dongshi's perfect plan. ”
Phoenix stood up, looking indignant, as if he did not remember that the reason why the noble guards had suffered so many casualties and why the situation had developed to such a point had a lot to do with his theory of "racial honor".
"Your Excellency Phoenix's thoughts coincide with the family teacher...... "He Dong applauded in a pretentious manner: "If the fortress falls into the hands of the demon dwarves, I am afraid it will become the most shameful incident in the Southern Regions in a hundred years, this is really an intolerable thing." ”
"Your Excellency He Dongshi's proposal is not unreasonable, but when the information is not clear, it is indeed dangerous to rashly launch an attack on the fortress......" Ying Dila pondered for a moment and said: "In this way, the military department will send 50,000 troops, cooperate with the Goddess Hall and the fifth-level demon warriors from all sides, and carry out a feint attack and suppression of the fortress to attract the attention of the demon dwarves.
Those below the sixth level of the mobile battalion will stay on the defensive line with the remaining officers and men of the military headquarters, ready to support at any time. The rest of the parties, the great magicians above level 6, form an assault team, follow the secret route provided by Lord Phoenix, attack the fortress in a roundabout way, and strive to take it with one blow, but if nothing can be done, you need to retreat immediately, and you must not be greedy for merit.
If the assault team can successfully capture the fortress, then the feint attack team should immediately change to a strong attack, cooperate with the raid team, completely wipe out the demon dwarf army, and wipe them out in the southern region. ”
For Yingdila, the head of the Southern Regions, the words of He Dongshi and Phoenix really hit his sore spot.
In the future, whether it is facing the Imperial Palace, or the many nobles in the Southern Regions, or the invisible pressure from Park Lao, he can't just defend the defense line and do nothing, even if Tinasi's words are more realistic, but, from a political point of view, the actual supreme leader of the Southern Regions, if he wants to keep his original position, he has to take a risk.
Tinas saw that the matter was a foregone conclusion, and understood her father's difficulties, so she didn't say anything more, and the matter was settled.
Tinas didn't say anything against it, Lin Lei's small supporting role naturally had no room to speak, but there was always something inappropriate in his heart, judging from the previous communication with Tinasi, Lin Lei faintly felt that it seemed that the movements of the army in the Southern Regions had always been in the hands of the demon dwarves, and they were led by the demon dwarves.
Judging from the information that the Western Regions has been facing, the demon dwarf clan may be insidious and cunning, ferocious and tyrannical, but that kind of nature can only be said to be nature, and it should not be so big-pictured, and it can also set up a situation step by step to let humans enter the trap.
This is no longer a tactical insidious and cunning, but a strategic wisdom and bravery, should the demon dwarf be so smart? Also, the "birdman" who attacked and assassinated was still in the shadows, and it was also a problem for Lin Lei.
From the point of view of professional restraint, the kind of ultra-long-range attack, and the opponent with extremely terrifying attack power, is the nemesis of the mage profession, and that kind of attack, even if it can only be used once in a short period of time, is a dangerous existence for unsuspecting mages who will kill with one hit.
Such an opponent doesn't even know where he is at this time, so how can Lin Lei not press a big stone in his heart?
The attack was set at noon, which is said to be the weakest and least vigilant time of the day.
It's just that Lin Lei thinks that aside from being weak or not, if this time is chosen for every raid, the demon dwarf will be particularly sensitive to this time period even if his head enters the water a hundred times, right?
Lin Lei didn't belong to any of the forces, but because of Johnnedy, he also joined the feint team, which can be regarded as a scene.
As for Tinasi, after the injury was almost healed, this "desperate Sanniang" would never be bored in the command camp - handing over her sixth-level great magician to someone else to bring, which is only possible for Tinasi, who "protects the calf like her life", only when her head is funny.
