The second floor of the lord's manor, the conference room.

All the officers at the command level of the army were present.

Hemmer hung a map of Lustria's province on the wall, picked up a red pen, and cleared his throat, signaling silence to the attendees.

"As you know, I intend to lead my army south into the Lustrian Mountains to expand the kingdom, and preparations for this have been planned long before the Battle of Anaheim. Now that everything is in place, it is only necessary for the winter to pass, and the army can be set out. ”

"But the wine should be drunk one at a time, and the road should be taken step by step, and the steps are too big, clicking, and it is easy to pull the eggs."

There was a burst of laughter in the room, especially Elaidon's loudest laughter.

"Silence!"

Hemer tapped it with a pen, "This is also the case in war, pay attention to planning and then acting, knowing yourself and knowing that the other side can win all battles." Let me give you a brief explanation of the current situation in Lustria. ”

"There are no more than four forces currently entrenched in the Lustria region, the lizardmen, the humans, the nezumi, and the Norsca tribe."

"The lizardmen occupy the rainforest in the middle of the Rutchian Isthmus, and their leader is the strongest of the Slandemon priests, Mazdamoody, who is not to be underestimated in terms of personal strength or military strength; The Skaven's Rodent Clan is entrenched in the Lost Gate of the North, and its leader is the Engineer Tokhill, a tribe that is attached to the Scurry Clan, one of the four major Rzumi clans, and is likely to have all kinds of equipment and transformation beasts of the Skrit Clan; The human colonists who came across the ocean came from the southern kingdoms of the old world, and the leader of the faction was the Count of Helmut, and the army under his command was mostly professional mercenaries who licked blood at the tip of a knife, adapted to various terrains and had good morale; Finally, there is the Skoji tribe of the Norscans, led by a marauder named Tal-Straborg, a barbarian who believes in chaos and is a warrior who is fighting the lizardmen. ”

"Judging from the current situation, the lizardmen tribe of the Mazda Moodi faction is hostile to the other three racial forces, but he can fight on three fronts at the same time without being defeated, and his strength is undoubtedly the strongest in the province of Ruthchia."

"The second is the Eclipse Rodent tribe with the support of the Scuri clan, these rats are very good at digging tunnels and destroying behind enemy lines, and the frontal battlefield has various dimensional Ishiguro technologies, and their strength ranks second."

"The armies are diverse, but the Southern Kingdom colonists, who are veterans per capita, occupy the raiders' harbor and swamp towns, and they are allied with the Imperial Hunter Marshal Expeditionary Force that roams the forests further south, and are ranked third in strength."

"Finally, the younger brother of the younger brothers, the Skogie Marauder tribe that occupies the Eastern Peninsula, a group of barbarians with no brains as big as fists, empty force, impressive intelligence, nothing to worry about, and the strength ranks last in the province of Lustia."

"The Creeping Forests of southern Lustria are similarly intertwined, but only two factions have been spotted by our scouts so far, the Imperial Expeditionary Force, led by Hunter Marshal Marcus Vofath, and the Savage Orc tribe Blue Viper, whose commander is named Goribaz. We don't know much about these two factions, but they are not our primary target and can be ignored for now. ”

Hemmer marked the map with a signal pen and asked for everyone's opinions, "That's the general situation in Lustria. What do you think about the first one? ”

Everyone looked at each other, and when Kehir saw that no one spoke, he was the first to find out, "My lord, my subordinates suggest that we fight the Rodent tribe first. The Lost Gate where they are located is the closest to our army, and as long as the Lost Gate is laid, we will have a foothold in the province of Ruscia, and we can attack and threaten Hesiota, and retreat can cooperate with Hiradhar-Tar to hold the Lost Gate and wait for the times to change. ”

"Well, that makes sense." Eliden thought about it and thought it was a good strategic plan.

"I'm the same." Anzales has never been responsible for thinking, and everyone is what they say.

After some discussion, everyone decided that Kehir's method was feasible.

Hemmer also nodded, affirming Khir's thoughts, and then said, "That's what I thought at first. Attack the Rodent tribe, occupy the Lost Gate, gain Longwangshu, and further plot against the province of Lustria. However, after thinking about it carefully, I felt that this strategy was too disadvantageous. ”

"First of all, it is not certain whether we can win the Rodent Tribe with our military strength, and secondly, even if we win, it is nothing more than two results, first, a big victory, but we will be exhausted by their sabotage operations behind enemy lines."

"Second, a pyrrhic victory. This outcome is the most probable, but it is also the worst, not only do you have to deal with the rats that are constantly popping up from the underground to make trouble, but also have no strength to march further and swallow the province of Lustria."

"To sum up, the Eclipse Tribe can only be allies, and they can't be the first to move him."

"In addition, the issue of the strategic rear, even if we don't lay the door to fall, we can rely on Hiradro Tar as a support, and Lord Kalvesis is stationed there, with her help, we can also advance or retreat."

Hemmer paced the room with a beacon in hand, and the crowd listened to his analysis, realizing the problem of their previous strategy.

"My idea is, long-range and close-quarters. Soldiers, the upper army is strategic, the second is the enemy, the second is the army, and the next is to attack the city. ”

Seeing everyone's confused expressions, Hemer couldn't help but smile and said: "I know you don't understand what I'm saying, don't worry, I'll translate the meaning of my last sentence for you, the original meaning is that the best way to use troops is to win by strategy, the second is to defeat the enemy with diplomacy, and the second is to defeat the enemy by force, and the last strategy is to attack the enemy's city." ”

"According to this line of thinking, our first goal is to take out the strongest force in Lustria, the Lizardman Sranmazda Moody faction that occupies Sun City's Hesiota. His strength and military strength are superior, and he is the strongest. is our biggest rival. ”

"If we want to kill him, we will definitely not be able to do it with our strength, but fortunately, this guy is hostile to all three local factions, which is extremely beneficial to us."

"The so-called enemy of the enemy is a friend, and there is no one who has the deepest hatred with Mazdamudi than the Skaven rat man, and it just so happens that the power of the nezumi is second only to the former, my plan is to unite with the nezumi and kill Mazda Moodi first, if not to kill him, at least to cripple him."

Later, depending on the situation, I chose whether to continue to unite with the nezumi to destroy the colonists of the Southern Kingdom, which was the third most powerful. If the Nezumi are weakened in a confrontation with Mazdamoody, we will stab the Nezumi in the back. ”

"Overview, Nezumi and Southern Kingdoms, these two factions are our second and third targets."

"The Skogie tribe that finally occupied the eastern peninsula, a group of stragglers braved, and the grave was dry, and I will capture it sooner or later."

Hemmer spoke a lot of things, and everyone listened attentively, and finally came up with a strategic plan: the first goal now is to unite the Eclipse Clan and take down the strongest tribe of lizardmen, then wait for an opportunity to exterminate the rats, or the Southern Kingdom, and finally the Skogee tribe.

After clarifying the grand strategic objectives, everyone's originally confused strategic vision instantly opened up and began to discuss the details of the operation excitedly.

After some intense discussions, a number of battle plans were finally finalized.

At this moment, everyone's eyes on Hemmer have changed again, in the past, in their eyes, although Hemer's behavior is incompatible, but it can be regarded as a rare benevolent lord in Duruszi's world, as a result, Hemmer's views and plans for war also make their eyes shine, and they use the posture of a hero.

Perhaps, following Hemmer can really kill him in a big circle on the map and break out of some fame.

"Go to the army to plan, then to fight the enemy, then to attack the army, and then attack the city..."Eliden carefully recalled these four sentences, and the more he tasted it, the more amazing he felt.

"It's worthy of Lord Hemmer who summed up such an incisive concept of war."

"Indeed, with adults, I feel that I can achieve something in the future."

Unable to hold back the wave of his hand, Hemerton felt fluttering, and then smiled embarrassedly. This is not what he came up with at all, it is the words of other soldiers, he is just borrowing.

But just such a concise four-sentence experience is still a dimensionality reduction thinking blow to many people in the Warhammer world.

"Then, the plan is set, only three scouts need to be sent to open up the roads, and then wait for the beginning of the next spring to move troops into the province of Lustchia." Hemmer waved his hand, and he was in high spirits.

The main general is also heroic, and he can't wait to lead the army tomorrow.

On the day of the meeting, three scouts on dark steeds set off from Ironspike at the same time, heading in three different directions.

One went straight south to the Lost Gate to establish diplomatic relations with the Eclipse Clan.

One galloped toward the ancient city of Quintex to the northeast, handing Hemmer's letter to Moras.

One of them headed towards the city of Hiradro-Taal in the southeast, and with Hemmer's thoughts, he first communicated with the local guard, the high-ranking sorceress Korvesish.

During this time, Helmer continued to reorganize his armament, striving to train a group of qualified soldiers among the 2,000 High Elf slaves, and at the same time ordered the town's blacksmith shop to make every effort to build standard equipment for the new recruits to assemble.

For problems such as grain and grass, he directly spent a lot of money to buy it from the ancient city of Quintex, and anyway, the treasury was still sufficient, enough to support Hemer for a while.

Ten days later, a scout returned to Ironsphorn Town with Morath's will, and Hemmer opened the envelope and saw that there was only one meaning between the lines, and he could hit it casually.

Hemmer had long expected Aunt Mo to say this, after all, he had thought about this matter from Aunt Mo's point of view.

If she wins by herself, Aunt Mo will be able to expand the influence of the Joy Sect without spending a single soldier.

If her own army is defeated, Aunt Mo can also replace herself at any time and order someone to take over Iron Thorn Town.

Anyway, no matter what the situation is, Moras is firmly seated in the Diaoyu Tai.

With her will, Hildra-Tar's high-ranking sorceress Korvesis quickly replied to Hemmer, excluding those polite words, and the meaning was just one, and he could call casually.

The meaning of these two is not far from Hemer's speculation.

The hardest to handle are the Skaven people in the south, and whether they are willing to communicate with them or not is what matters.

After a restless wait, the last scout finally returned to Ironsphorn.

The rat people mean, engage.

In the letter, Tokshir said: "Capable lizardmen, as long as you are not a dwarf thing, they can be allied.

Hemmer immediately sent another messenger to communicate further with the Eclipse Tribe, and the two agreed to meet with the Titan Peaks Mountain Road in the middle of the Fallen Gate in Ironthorn in a few days.

Dealing with the Skaven was dangerous, and in order to ensure safety, Hemmer led a force of five hundred men to negotiate with him.

In the same way, Tokshir thought the same way, after all, the credibility of the dark elves was the same as that of their Skaven people in the Warhammer world, which was famous for its Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Chicks, one notorious and the other notorious, and no one had more face than the other.

So he personally led nearly 800 rats to the Mountain Road Alliance.

On this day, on both sides of the wide mountain road, purple Pegasus flags and inverted pennants are displayed in the wind.

The Dark Elves and the Skaven Rat Men are two famous old six races that stink together.

The white-haired Tokshir carried a heavy magic instrument on his back and rode a thief-pulled destruction skinning machine to the conference table in the middle of the two armies.

Hemmer, Eliden, and Anzales waited for a long time. As for Khill, he was left to the rear by Hemer to press the formation, just in case.

When Tokshir got out of the car, Hemmer saw the engineer warlock of the Eclipse Tribe clearly, he stood up straight, it seemed to be less than one meter six, brown fur, full of conduits linked to the dimensional stone instruments on his back, in front of his eyes were two modified external vision instruments, he was holding a mechanical long knife taller than himself, looking like a ghost fire boy, and a wasteland industrial punk style.

Tokshire sat down across from Hemmer and knocked impatiently on the table, "You're here to ask for Skavin's help, yes, yes?" ”

His hairy nose sniffed forward, "The stench of abhorrence and abhorrence in you is very strong!" ”

Helmer: ....

"Is there one? Did I take a shower before I came? Hemmer really sniffed his own experience, no problem, it's the smell of a stinky man.

Eliden, who was next to him, couldn't help but laugh when he saw this.

"Disgusting elves, do you plan to trade slaves, trade?" Tokshir picked up his own glass of water, took a breath and continued to ask.

"Nope." Hemmer spread his hands directly.

"What do you want, what, what do you get from us? Unless you bring the dimension stone, you don't, you're not interested. Speak, speak! Don't stab yourself in the back! ”

Hemmer was shocked, how did he know I was going to stab him.

Ahem, certainly not now.

"Neither. I want to ally with you to fight the Lizard Lord Mazdamudi. ”

"I know, I know, yes, yes, fight cold-blooded lizard things. But why do I, want to unite with you, you pointy-eared things? Tokshir asked.

"Because Mazda Moodi is our common enemy. And we have the strength to unite with you. In the province of Lustria, only we can be relied upon. ”

Hemmer pointed to the majestic army of dark elves behind him, then leaned closer and pointed at himself and Tokhir, "I, we." ”

Tokshir thought for a moment, "You do have power. ”

Seeing that the other side had no intention of refusing, Hemer continued to say: Not long ago, in Nagaris and Anaheim, the Shadow King was beaten by us and fled back to Osun.

"Na, Nagareth's pointed ears, ears are yours, you defeated."

"Let's have a few "clicks" of our old brothers. ”

"Yes, yes."

"Killed the Shadow King's troops, the brothers are still here, scattered all over the place, Calwesish is in Taal City, the Supreme Empress of the Ancient City of Quintex, I have all taken care of it, just wait for you to "click" the tribe to raise the banner of the counterattack.

Tokshire's tail swept around the ground like a mop, visibly moved by Hemer's words. He looked up and saw Hemmer raise the quilt and place it above the table, raising an eyebrow at himself.

He also raised his glass, clinked glasses with Hemer, and grinned when he saw the other party: "Take Hesiota, kill Mazdamudi, and divide the slaves." Big business! ”

How energetic Hemmer said, but Eliden and Anzales and others behind him understood that what the queen supported, there was nothing at all, just their lone army.

"Slaves, countless slaves, let's fight the lizardmen, the lizardmen together."

It's purely Hemmer fooling Tokshir, and the key is that this thing is really believed.

The two sides immediately signed an Allied Pact, forming an unbreakable alliance that agreed to jointly attack Hesiota in the spring of the following year.

The talks ended in a pleasant atmosphere, and they went home to actively prepare for the war.

Now, everything is really ready, and only the east wind is owed.
