Chapter 11: The Wind Rises Arashi-II
"Your Highness! Sitting on the Valley of Refuge and Geshak, especially Geshak, a grain-producing land full of farms, it is impossible to even satisfy our own supply every year! We have been helping to raise such waste for almost three years! Your Highness!"
In silence, an enchantment had enveloped the tent, and Terenus said with some hatred to Marseilleu, who was sitting steadily.
"That's enough! Tyrell!
Obviously, this was not the first time that Terenus had said this, and Marseillo only stopped his chief adviser with a soft drink, and continued to pinch his temple, staring at the map on the table in front of him.
"Instead of spending your mind on these miscellaneous things, it's better to think more about how to break the city! Tens of thousands of troops, the daily consumption is not a small amount, and the other party can consume the coalition army even if it is consumed!"
"That's not right, everyone goes back to their own homes and looks for their own mothers!"
As if following Marseilleu's words, Terenus muttered in a low voice, and then looked up to see his lord looking at him angrily, and then rolled his eyes, grinning at Mustein, who was frowning thickly on the side.
"My lord! Actually, long before I sent out the troops, I said that this battle would end in the end! After all, no one would want to see Torbain reign at Riptide Castle again, as long as Garin is still alive, this city will not be broken!"
"In the past few days, the losses of the Iron Hand are real!
With a sneer, Mustein answered.
"This is also what I've always been weird about! I thought that this idiot of Northside would pretend at most even if he attacked the city, and he wouldn't feel distressed if those miscellaneous soldiers at the level of the garrison died, but the iron hand that broke nearly a thousand in two days was already cutting meat!"
Touching the mustache on his chin, Terenus said as if talking to himself, but his eyes were fixed on Marseilleu. Only he and Mustein, the two true cores, knew that on the first night of the arrival of the coalition forces, the heads of the major forces held a secret meeting of five people. It's just that Marseillo has been silent about the content of the secret meeting since he returned, and as a subordinate, it is naturally impossible for him to take the initiative to inquire about it, after all, the fewer people may know about the secrets involved, the better. It's just that the abnormal behavior of the main forces now makes him have to think of the meeting.
"Garin promises that whoever saves Fort Riptide will be the master of Torbain!"
"Oh!
A shocked expression flashed, and Terenus met the stunned Mustean in the next second, and the two looked at each other for a moment before the chief mage of Muya Town turned his head to look at Marseyu again.
And Marseillo, who fell into deep thought after saying the contents of the secret agreement, did not notice the anomaly of the two men, and did not regain his flatness until he felt the gaze of Terenus.
"Tyrell, the surprise you said the day before yesterday, now you can talk about it!"
"Yes, my lord!"
Sensing Marseillo's resistance, Terenus wisely did not dwell on anything, but straightened his clothes, and walked to the table with a soft grunt from Mustein.
"As a world-famous fortified city, with the bonus of natural geographical advantages, attacking from the front is the only and stupidest way on the surface!"
As he spoke, the chief strategist of Muya Town pointed to the sign of Fort Riptide on the map.
"At present, according to what we have discovered, most of the troops in the entire Riptide Fort are composed of the bandits of the Syndicate, and the rest are a large number of ogres and trolls. The only thing that the Syndicate can handle is the formed Shadow Legion, but in terms of defending the city, the Shadow Legion is not much stronger than the ordinary garrison corps, so now what really blocks the Iron Hand's soldiers, and even makes them lose their troops, is actually a mixture of this group of ogres and trolls!"
Coughing lightly, Terenus continued.
"As a wilderness species, the ogre's adult combat power can be comparable to that of a standard third-order warrior, and those with a little talent can reach the middle level, plus a huge body of four meters, a fully armed ogre warrior can easily defend the city wall within a range of five meters, plus the assistance of three or four troll warriors, relying on the twelve-meter boulder city wall, it can be recast a layer of steel wall. In the face of this kind of defense, any non-royal elite-level corps attack can only result in kowtowing and bloodshed, and it is ineffective. ”
"It's not enough to have a royal elite-level legion alone, at least you need a team of high-level professionals with the support of a standard mage corps to be able to break through in the front!
Following Terenus's words, Mustein, who was standing aside, said in a deep voice.
No matter how elite the troops are in the face of the pit ratio's refueling tactics, only the elite spike team composed of high-level professionals to force a piece of the front and hold on to the follow-up troops' advance, and then capture the entire city with an absolute advantage in strength The offensive strategy is likely to succeed, but in the time period that the high-level professional team holds, only the mage corps can be reinforced, and because of the long-distance casting, the weakening of accuracy and spell strength, the support that the mage can provide is actually very limited, so being able to capture and hold the occupied area is the key to everything。
"Putting aside for the time being, whether the current Arashi can organize such a high-level attacking force, who wants to go just because of this danger?"
With a hint of taunt on his lips, Terenus waved his hand.
A team, fifteen high-level, to say that Arathi can't make it up, that's talking nonsense with his eyes open, even after struggling in war and chaos for so many years, the high-end power of the entire Arathi actually hasn't lost much, except for the fact that the true pillar legendary power has not recovered after World War II, it's not difficult to make up a team's high-level.
But now Arashi, the royal power is declining, most of the forces are scattered among the major forces, in the absence of a strong axis force Arashi, there is no force that can spend such a team alone, and how can the high-ranking of different camps really cooperate to go to such a dangerous death.
"Then what are you doing here!"
Staring at Terenus with a mocking face, Mu Sitan's face sank, what he hated most was that the gentleman disciple in front of him was fiddling with himself and the young master like a peacock, and after losing his desire to speak, he could always argue in a mocking tone.
"I said before that I could break the city, but I didn't say that I could break this road from the front!"
Pointing his finger back at the map, Terenus said as he circled around the Riptide Castle sign.
"In terms of total strength, the coalition forces are in an absolute advantage, and we can completely besiege them without attacking them, and consume them alive in this ruin!"
"The absolute superiority of the army has also brought huge daily consumption, in recent years, Arashi has failed to harvest year after year, what do we take to drag them down!"
Knocking on the table, Marseilleu and Mustein retorted to Terenus, but stared at the map for a long time before speaking.
"The inside line has found the secret granary in Riptide Castle?"
"Yes, my lord, after so many days of hard work, the secret son I buried has finally found the secret warehouse of this city!"
With a smile on his lips, Terenus pointed to the map and continued.
"The entire Riptide Fort is roughly divided into four districts, one central royal castle area, whatever it used to be, is now completely untouched, and nearly seventy percent of the buildings have been reduced to ruins. But in general, apart from the castle in the center, the Syndicate currently occupies two of them, while the Trolls and Ogres each have one each, and the largest secret granary is hidden in this piece of the Syndicate!"
Pointing straight to the southeast corner of the map of Fort Riptide, Terenus said with a blazing eye.
"The ogre's combat power is indeed very strong, and with the unbeatable troll warriors, it almost builds an alternative perfect city defense, but the entire defense system actually naturally has a big hidden danger, that is, it corresponds to a huge body, and the ogre's food is far more famous than his combat effectiveness, plus that group of rice bucket trolls, the stability of the entire defense system is completely based on the premise that the syndicate can continuously supply sufficient food. And at present, nearly eighty percent of the supplies of the entire Riptide Fort are hidden here, as long as this place is abolished, within a week, the so-called main defense of the ogre will let these syndicate scum know what a hungry ogre is!
"What about Fadil's side!"
Mu Sitan stared at the map and asked angrily.
"Heh! Although the group of soft-footed shrimp of Kul Tiras is scum when they come ashore, at least it is still somewhat useful at sea, and this sea transportation line of the Syndicate has long been broken!
With a sound, Terenus fixed his gaze on the lower right of Riptide Castle.
Fadil Bay, the only outlet to the sea and an excellent seaport in Arashi, and surrounded by mountains, there is only one mountain road leading to Fort Rapids, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is by occupying this seaport that the Syndicate has established a sea supply line.
"So, you're ready for the infiltrators?"
Standing up on the table, Marseilleu shook his hand and said to Terenus.
The other two people in the hall instantly thought of something, and their faces changed drastically, first Terenus, and hurriedly stepped forward and said.
"My Highness, I have made sufficient preparations for this kind of thing, and the infiltration team is also carefully selected, and all aspects have been considered!"
"Alright, Tyrell, go and give me a report on the details!"
With a wave of his hand to stop Terenus, Marseilleu got up and walked out of the tent with Mustein behind him...
"Terenus, you idiot, look at the good things you've done!"
Stopping the male mage who was frowning and thinking about walking in the camp, the scarred warrior cursed in a gloomy voice.
"Don't be patronizing and scolding!
Rare didn't push back, Terenus smiled bitterly and said to Musstan.
"Say p, what the young master decides, I haven't seen it change!"
The corners of his mouth twitched, and Mu Sitan's face became even more gloomy.
"This beheading operation originally only gathered most of the high-end combat power of Muya Town, but now it seems that it has included everything!"
Turning his head to look at the sky, Terenus suddenly smiled and said to the Scarface Warrior, and after saying that, he turned his head and swept the other party and walked away quickly, while Mu Stean, who heard the words, was silent for a while, grinned, turned around and disappeared into the black as quickly.
