Headwind Hill Camp.
Last night's monster sneak attack didn't cause too many casualties, but the monster army also paid a robber general. The morale of the Ramsay Union Army was at an all-time high, and all the sergeants got up early in the morning to the sound of the assembly horn and got ready for themselves.
"Your Excellency Jensen," because the other party saved his life, Green added an honorific to his salutation, "Our manpower is ready, but we don't know when to do it." ”
"At the right time," replied the paladin, "however, the Confederates are not responsible for attacking the promontory. In fact, we have a much more important task. Counting the time, the monsters scattered in the fallen area should be on their way back by now. What we have to do is drag the enemies who have arrived on the plains outside the city of Soft Maple. ”
This is a typical "encirclement point reinforcement". As for the attack on the protruding headland, it was naturally completed by the fleet led by Quest and the weapons he prepared for the emperor. After all, these soldiers of the Alliance Army are not enough to face the monsters of the Lava God Lord.
"Understood, I'll get ready," Green didn't object. Early this morning, under the protection of the Guards and the Holy Warriors, he followed the retreating night monsters, and saw the scene of the three-headed behemoth and the monster army fighting from a distance. The commander-in-chief of the Union Army was instantly shocked.
Not to mention that they lack the weapons to attack the fortifications now, even if they are equipped with enough stone cannons to attack the city, it is difficult for this army composed of ordinary people to intervene in a war of that level.
Therefore, he no longer insisted.
Green discarded the somewhat unrealistic chivalry and instead devoted himself to thinking about how to use this force to destroy as many monsters as possible. The answer is obvious, he must find a good ambush position.
The monsters had only two options to get out of this vast area of the Fallen Cape: either take the sea route around Soft Maple Bay, which Green couldn't do, or go through the forest of Windward Hills to the plains of the peninsula where Soft Maple City is located.
If this is a human army, then it is entirely possible that he can use such a "strategically valuable" target as himself to lure those reinforcements to the newly established camp and fight a battle for the defense of the city.
But those guys are monsters, and after receiving orders from the emperor, they will rush to the protruding cape in desperation. Even if they are placed with fragrant bait, most of them will not take the bait.
"You can only set up an ambush in the forest of the upwind hills, arrange them in layers, and snipe them in echelons," Green quickly figured out how to maximize the damage to those monsters, and he had to place layers of blades in this forest, so that the monsters who rushed to the protruding headland would willingly crash into it and bleed.
It didn't take long for the army to get busy. The sergeants formed a horizontal defensive line in a phalanx. They did not hide in the woods, but cleared all the trees within dozens of steps in advance with axes, and tried to lay simple deer firewood in front of the array. The felled trees were all piled together and covered with a thin layer of fiery glue.

These "elongated" phalanxes did not leave any manpower to take charge of the defense behind them, and the crossbowmen and alchemists in their own array were all taken away by Green and gathered separately.
The total number of long-range shooters is about two thousand people. The commander-in-chief of the Union Army did not engage in "egalitarianism", he gathered these people into two thousand troops, together with his own elite longbowmen, led by himself.
When the sniper battle begins, they will weave their way between the layers of "blades" in the headwind hills, shooting sideways at monsters that have swept through one layer of "blades" and are eager to rush to the other.
And the team responsible for protecting them, in addition to Grimm's own personal guards, is also the paladin unit led by Jensen. Green believed that even if some monsters were to escape the influence of the Emperor's order and charge at the ranged archers, they would never be able to shake such a formidable guard.
The last question left was whether the "blades" he had arranged would be shattered by the large number of monsters that had arrived. After all, even if those monsters have no intention of fighting, they will just pass by the front, and if the number is too large, it will cause a large attrition of the soldiers of each phalanx.
