As ministers of the Empire, of course, there is no extra time to wait for news that is not very important in their eyes. The situation of dispatching the First Wizard Brigade and failing was never in their expectations.

After the order was signed, the Minister of War returned to his office. Maintaining a large elite army has a huge and complex affair. The decision on these things will eventually focus on him, so there will be no idle opportunity at all.

They had to be like dogs, and that was why the emperor would appoint these ministers. If you do it too easily and can't share the emperor's worries, it means that you are not fit for office and will be replaced sooner or later. There are many people in the empire who are capable and have power in their eyes.

And in the evening, when he was about to end the day's work, he was about to throw the task into the corner of his memory, and the news came back:

The 1st Wizard Brigade swooped down, and the Sid appeared in the city of Basra.

...... "What's going on?" The Minister of War tapped his finger lightly on the table, slowly and loudly, glaring angrily at the man in front of him. The young officer who came to report was not intimidated. But it was clear from the panic in their eyes that they were also extremely uneasy about such an unexpected outcome.

Moving along the Cecilia Line, the Sid did not appear in the next stop in the city of Abadan, Helis City, but in the city of Basra, which could only be reached seven days after the ordinary airship. This means a terrible thing, that is, the opponent is moving faster than you think.

Since the opponent has a wider range of movement, there are more parking spots to choose from. Under such a premise, if you want to intercept the opponent, you can only spend more manpower and material resources. And the first magic brigade sent out can be said to be useless in this operation.

Legion-level teleportation magic array, this is only a high-level magic device set in the capital. Teleporting magic arrays in other cities within the empire can only be used as a legion-level receiver. Teleportation is also possible, but it can only be used for small-scale individual teleportation.

This is not because of the strong strength of the empire, which can only afford to set up a legion-level teleportation magic array, but purely for the sake of the safety of the capital. If someone with bad intentions sends a large number of troops into the heart of the capital, how can they be prepared?

You must know that with a magic array of this level, it is not a problem to transmit 100,000 troops at a time, as long as you can afford to activate it. And the 100,000 rebel troops entered the capital in one go, even if they could hold it without falling, it would inevitably produce a large number of casualties. Rather than prevent this from happening, it is better to deprive other places of the possibility of clan-level teleportation from the beginning.

And the first magic brigade's charged blow was empty, although it was also possible to use the ordinary teleportation magic array to recall the personnel. But the number of thousands of people, if you want to come back, it is at least a matter of more than ten days. This is due to the fact that the magic circle itself is limited by teleporting over a distance.

Make sure that the teleportation destination exists, whether there are any security concerns, whether there are any magic traps that interfere with the space, and whether the teleportation can be delivered to the destination safely, instead of being delivered in chunks! More importantly, teleportation magic cannot be a way for creatures from other realms to invade the Lost Land.

It's all something that has happened in the process of studying teleportation magic. In order to prevent these disasters from happening again, the long-distance teleportation magic array has continued to improve to what it is today. Security is taken care of, it is inevitable that it will be a little inconvenient to use, and it will take a long time to transmit, which is always acceptable to people.

It's like taking a plane at an airport on Earth, it's a boarding pass, it's a security check, and you have to go through customs when you go out of a country. I haven't seen anyone protest, complaining that if you take a plane like a taxi, you can wave on the side of the road, or you can come to a pick-up with a mobile phone click.

These are the reasons why the First Wizard Brigade is unlikely to use the teleportation magic array in the place to return to the capital immediately and launch a second wave of attacks.

"Will the First Wizard Brigade have time to transfer it in other ways?" The Minister of War asked.

"At this distance, there is no known airship that can reach it overnight." What he said made the young aristocratic officer feel a little weak, and it was not because he found that there was an airship that did it, which made them have such a headache. However, what airships can't do, and legion-level teleportation can't be done in non-capital cities, so basically you don't have to consider other methods.

"Order the defenders of Basra to find a way to delay the target and buy enough time for the First Wizard Brigade. Is this likely to succeed? "The Secretary of War tried to come up with other ideas. But as soon as he said it, he shook his head and felt that it was not feasible. starting point

At the same time, the young noble officer also replied: "If the target does not know our moves, there is a possibility of success." But the movements of the First Wizard Brigade are never a trivial matter. Many noble lords have sent envoys to the Ministry of Military Affairs to ask who or where the brigade is targeting. It is difficult to hide the situation of people, as long as the other party gets the news and wants to break through, I am afraid that the local garrison can not deal with it. Besides, the target number is small, which means being flexible. It would take seven days for the First Wizard Brigade to reach Basra City as fast as possible, which was too long, and there were too many changes that could occur in between. ”

After all, the Gwana Empire was a feudal system. Legally, the emperor and the central army should have obtained the consent of the lord when passing through the territory of another noble lord. Of course, most of the time, when the local lords are not strong enough to resist the regular legions in the center, they can only choose to turn a blind eye to these troops running around in their own territory.

However, there have also been cases where the regular legion passed through the territory of a rural nobleman without permission, and was directly bombarded by a strategic-level magic by the archmage who lived in seclusion. If you want to accuse the other party of a crime, you can't start with it.

After all, it was an era of war, with rebels, rebels, and robbers emerging in an endless stream, and sometimes there were regular legions in cameos. As long as it is seen as a threat, it is not surprising that people would do anything for the sake of their lives.

At that time, even if he was under the wings of the empire, he was the only one who could protect himself. No one can count on anyone else's safety for their safety. Such a naïve person can't survive that era.

Therefore, as long as the person who came to inquire was not the target, it was difficult for the Imperial Military Department to dispel the worried lords with the reason of 'this is a secret operation'. Within the borders of the country, where there is a need for covert operations.

As for the targets targeted, the oath before the action, the declaration of guilt before the crusade, all military operations should be upright and above board, this is the bearing of an empire. Of course, whether the other party can hear it or not, whether he realizes that he has become an arrow target, these are not things that people from the Ministry of Military Affairs will care about. These things are only done for people to see, not necessarily for the enemy to see.

Of course, the Gwana Empire also has some hidden forces that can't be put on the table and specialize in dirty things, but there are special guidelines for their actions. Don't pass through cities and towns, don't use teleportation magic circles, and if necessary, don't even leave any witnesses. However, that force was the 'Fourth Legion' directly under the Emperor, and it was not something that could be used lightly, let alone something he could decide.

Abandoning the idea of continuing to use the 1st Wizard Brigade, the Minister of War asked, "The proposal of the Military Atlas Room?" ”

Given a chance to save face, the young noble officer of course cheered up and proposed a plan to discuss with his colleagues, saying: "Based on the distance traveled by the Sid today, it is assumed that their next stop will be the city of Nagadai, which is also located on the Cecilia line. Even if there is a slight error, the stop will be a neighboring city. As long as the commander of the garrison in Nagadai was asked to recruit enough airships in advance, the interceptor could be transferred to the target position as quickly as possible after determining the location of the Sid. This time, we will definitely be able to arrest each other. ”

"Who can be sent to the second volley?"

"The newly formed First Army Corps, the Tenth Brigade can handle such a task."

The military system of the Gwana Empire consisted of the 1st to 3rd legions stationed in the capital, and the 4th to 10th legions stationed in the localities. In addition to the second and third legions, which are essentially responsible for defending the capital, the first legion is a collection of special purposes, teaching, experiments, and other various natures.

In the First Legion, except for the First Magic Guide Brigade, which is an ironclad meritorious unit, the numbers of the other teams are sorted according to the history of their establishment. For example, the second brigade of wind whisperers is a special brigade that gathers Homo sapiens other than humans and mixes them into a special brigade dominated by elves. In addition to expressing cooperation to the various races within the empire, it also has the intention of bringing the strong people of each race under their command and taking care of them nearby.

Other brigades were also established with their own purposes and intentions, such as experimenting with new types of tactics or arms, and training non-commissioned officers of each branch. When the tactics and arms of the old era are facing obsolescence, the establishment will be abolished and a new branch of the armed forces will be re-established to adapt to the new era and new tactical thinking. Therefore, the 10th Brigade of the First Army has always been an experimental unit at the forefront of the times.

And the most recent change, just three years ago, was the 'forum' that someone created.

In the past, the command of the war basically relied on the decision of the commander alone, and then the commander Buda gave the order. If the troops are concentrated, it is easy to say, but if they are scattered, they can basically rely on the middle-ranking officers who actually command the troops at the front.

And the convenience of the forum to transmit information, it is impossible for an organization like the army not to notice. For this reason, soldiers are assigned to small units who are responsible for using forums to transmit information. Through them, the commander can accurately grasp the situation of each team and give tactical orders that can be coordinated between different teams.

If someone knows about it, they will definitely sigh that the 'radio soldiers' in the lost land were actually born in this way.
