Chapter 42: War Expectations
Although he thought about going to Baron Leo, the old fox, Giggs did not go to Baron Leo immediately after accompanying Celia, but returned to the barracks.
Just after returning from the investigation, Giggs naturally wanted to take the opportunity to take a break, not to mention that the current food and grass of the garrison was quite sufficient, in this case, why not dry him for a few days.
In his tent, Giggs sat quietly preparing for the evening battle meeting, and he had to make battle plans for the garrison based on the existing conditions.
Giggs sat behind the table with his chin in his left hand, his index finger behind his ear, and his right hand holding a pen to jot down something on the paper from time to time.
"Hmm~ The next action will be to divide the garrison into three combat units according to the establishment, it will take three days to rush to Withered Leaf Town, so let the garrison form a continuous attack scale, three days after the first squadron departs, the second squadron will set off, and then the second squadron will arrive at Withered Leaf Town, the first squadron will return, and the third squadron will set off~"
"In this way, a good cycle is formed, and each squadron can have enough time to ensure its combat effectiveness~"
"Moreover, the camp in Licorice Town can also be kept staffed all the time, giving others a kind of deterrence~"
"This deterrence will be improved with the gnoll heads that are constantly brought back~"
Giggs stopped the pen in his hand, frowned and thought, and after a while, picked up the pen that was placed on the table and continued to write.
"The squadron in the camp should prepare dry rations for the squadrons that will come back next to ensure that the food is sufficient during the battle~"
"When fighting outside, the main combat goal is to fight the hunting squad against the jackals ~ carry out continuous encirclement and suppression operations ~"
"It is necessary to consider the impact of the gnolls on the continuous death of the hunting team~ The biggest possibility is that they send a large-scale team to hunt in groups, in this case, it is necessary to change the battle plan and enter the second stage of the battle against the gnolls~"
"Traps, when the jackals carry out large-scale operations, the guards need to go out day and night, in the detection of several jackal hunting sites, in fact, there are enough prey reserve resources in those relatively large woods, use the night when the jackals rest in the woodland to set traps, traps to injure the jackals for the main purpose~"
"In this way, it will cause the gnoll hunting team to be attritional, and it will continue to demoralize the gnolls, if they bring the wounded back instead of eating the wounded ones to the rumor~
"When the pressure on the gnolls is great enough, the gnolls should be on the verge of collapse and madness at this time~ I can't see the enemy, and my own kind is constantly dying and injured, what will these gnolls do? I'm really looking forward to it~"
"A large-scale group sortie, frantically looking for the enemy?"
"Or is it like a frightened bird, sending a messenger to the original tribe asking for help?"
"At this time, the garrison needs to be dispatched as a whole, and in a battle, these gnolls will be completely exterminated~"
"Of course, this is just an expected battle plan, and there may be some variables in the actual process, but originally I planned to stay on the front line until the time was ripe, and lead the troops back to Licorice Town to force the palace~"
Giggs smiled to himself, propped himself on the table with one hand, stood up straight, and his eyes, which were covered by the hair of his bowed head, revealed the flame of ambition~
"I'm really looking forward to it!!"
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
Three days later, Giggs had eaten his breakfast slowly, dressed himself, and went alone to Baron Leo's residence in Licorice.
After reporting his intentions to the guards at the door, Giggs waited patiently at the door.
The guard who reappeared signaled that Giggs could go in, and led the way for Giggs in front, and as he walked, he whispered, "Captain Giggs, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”
Giggs said very calmly, "I've been thinking about the battle plan against the gnolls recently, but I don't have time to come to Baron Leo's mansion~"
While chatting with this guard, he walked towards Baron Leo's study, and I have to say that the accommodation that Sir Siva had prepared for Baron Leo was still good, Giggs thought to himself.
"When you arrive, you can go in by yourself, I'll go first. The guard whispered to Giggs.
"Hmm~" Giggs responded, tugging at his sleeve and striding to the door of the study.
"Knock knock~"
"Come in~"
Giggs stepped into the room, adjusted to the slightly dim light of the room, and walked towards Baron Leo's desk again.
"Lord Leo~" Giggs greeted in a low voice.
"It's Giggs~ Is there something going on today?" Baron Leo asked casually.
Giggs laughed secretly in his heart, "I have to put on this look~" The expression on his face remained unchanged, and he continued to answer quietly, "My lord, I have prepared a battle plan against the super werewolves, and the guards can prepare for the operation to recover Dead Leaf Town at any time." ”
"Are you ready to go?" Sure enough, in the face of the hope that his territory was about to be recovered, Baron Leo still couldn't restrain the unrest in his heart.
"Okay~ What do you need?" Baron Leo, who was still a little excited just now, got up slightly and sat back down, and said to Giggs in a calm tone.
"Hehe~ I need a batch of food and bounties, without enough food and bounties, the motivation of the guards to fight will not be so sufficient~" At this time, Giggs couldn't help but laugh and quickly made his request.
A bargain followed, and Giggs, who had the anticipation in his heart, left Baron Leo's residence satisfied.
"This guy ~ is really a greedy wolf ~ However, even if it is a wolf, it can make its own contribution to me~" Baron Leo looked at Giggs's distant back and whispered to himself.
Giggs, who was in a good mood, walked briskly back to the camp, glanced at the dried gnoll head hanging at the camp door, pouted, and walked into the camp.
directly grabbed a passing guard and told him to notify all the backbones to come to a meeting.
Giggs was going to tell them that the battle was about to start.
Ryan Giggs also had to caution the guards again about the precautions they had in order to emphasize the importance in their minds.
