Thorin deserves to come out of the army, and his work efficiency is extremely high.

The next afternoon, he put a defense plan on Juan's desk.

However, there were a lot of typos in the plan, and many of the place names were unfamiliar to Juan, so Juan asked Thorin to explain them to him.

On a holographic topographic map generated by the projector, Sorin points to the new Kilimanjaro with a white snowcrown:

"This is the dividing line between friend and foe, to the north, the red zone, is the range of activity of the orcs; To the south, the green zone, is the area under our control. ”

Juan's gaze, following Thorin's guidance, moved to three dark green dots.

"Here, here, and here, are our three strongholds: the building, the elven town, and the dwarven valley."

Juan's gaze lingered on the location of the Dwarven Valley for a few more moments.

On the holographic topographic map, that area belongs to the Meru Volcanic Area, about 100 kilometers from the Pioneer Station building.

Sorin continued: "The New Kilimanjaro Mountains, 50 kilometres north of the building, are the best defensive barriers.

"There are only a limited number of passes where large forces can pass.

"If it is purely defensive, I propose to blow up the mountains near these passes and completely cut off the passage between the north and the south.

"However, for the sake of counter-attack, I recommend keeping a pass that is most conducive to defense.

"Here, on the Kesselring Pass, I plan to build a blocking position with towers, tunnels and barbed wire."

Juan's gaze, following Thorin's guidance, came to a gap in the New Kilimanjaro Mountains, which seemed to have been formed by a geographical collapse.

He asked, "But, Thorin, why do orcs have to go through the pass, when they can also climb over the mountain?" ”

"Small elite troops can, but large troops are absolutely impossible."

Thorin's self-confidence is like that of a general lecturing at the National Defense University.

"Supply, no army can do without supply, especially a large army marching, without a smooth supply line, it is self-defeating."

"Not necessarily, they can come to us and look for food on the spot."

"Burn! Solid wall clear! If the orcs are stupid enough to let a large army climb over the mountain, then we will burn all the crops in the fields. ”

"Well, wouldn't we have a lot to lose?"

"But the enemy's losses will be greater, they will be in a desperate situation!"

Thorin grimly explained, "It takes a lot of physical strength to climb over the mountain summit, and it is impossible for them to carry a lot of supplies.

"By the time the enemy arrives in our territory, there will be a severe shortage of food, and the remaining food will not even be able to support them to climb over the top of the hill and go back.

"And they're faced with completely burned fields, as well as buildings and elven towns with incredible defenses.

"These two well-built fortifications by the human army are definitely not something that the orcs can easily overcome.

"And in the Dwarven Valley, a hundred kilometers away, I suspect that the orcs simply don't have enough supplies to get there.

"And even if they go to the Dwarven Valley, it is useless, the terrain of the Dwarf Valley is more conducive to defense, and it is also not something that the orcs can conquer in a short time.

"As a result, the entire orc army will collapse because of the lack of food.

"I don't think the commander-in-chief of the other side will do this as long as he is not extremely stupid."

Juan suggested a possibility: "What if the orcs send elite troops to climb over the mountain and occupy our farmland first?" ”

Thorin pointed to the building and the elven town and said, "We set up two patrol convoys in the building and the elven town, and they will take turns patrolling.

"When encountering the enemy's elite troops, I believe that the opponent will definitely not be numerous, and the patrol with the vehicle-mounted Gatling gun will definitely be able to defeat them."

Juan was convinced, and he applauded, "Judging by the move of the orc patriarch Durotan to send out a reconnaissance force cautiously, it should not be stupid.

"And Jack is also there, he is also from the army, he will not understand this.

"So they should march through the passes, as you might expect.

"Very well, I approved your defense plan, so let's arrange it as such."

But Thorin spread his hands: "There is a lack of manpower. ”

"What, aren't there enough moon elves in Elf Town?"

"The moon elves are too delicate, they are not good at civil engineering, and only dwarves can accomplish this task."

"I see, you mean to ask me to gather men from the Dwarven Valley."

Juan turned his head and asked Morgan, who had been silent: "If I issue a summoning order as the head of the planet, will the dwarves of the Dwarf Valley respond?" ”

Morgan nodded hesitantly and said, "The dwarves there are obedient to humans, and they shouldn't refuse, but they ......"

"Just what?"

"Going to the front means dying at all times, and even if the dwarves obey orders, there will be resistance in their hearts.

"You know, being passively under orders is not the same as being active in participating."

Juan sighed to himself, if it could be like in the novel, the protagonist's body was shocked, the king's qi leaked, and then everyone carried out the protagonist's orders like tool men, how good.

"I see, it seems that I need to go to the Dwarven Valley once and talk to their leader.

"By the way, who is in charge of the Dwarf Valley now, is it easy to talk?"

Morgan looked at Juan with teachable eyes and said:

"The leader of the Dwarven Valley, named Muradin Copperbeard, nicknamed the King of the Hill, is the brother of Magni Copperbeard, the head of the Ironforge Workshop in the elven town.

"He has a very bold temper, and if he considers a friend, he will help with all his heart, otherwise, there will inevitably be a perfunctory situation.

"By the way, Juan, how much do you drink?"

"The amount of alcohol? Why do you say this all of a sudden? ”

"Because the dwarves in the mountains like to drink ale, they believe that they can recognize a person at the table."

"Oh, I see, but is ale also wine? I always thought it was water. ”

"Hehe, you just have to have this confidence."

So Juan instructed Yaling to arrange a trip to the Dwarven Valley for him.

Half an hour later, Juan, accompanied by Morgan, Thorin, and Yaling, drove out of the building with eight dragonman self-defense members and three floating off-road vehicles.

The floating convoy drove all the way through a large area of farmland under the jurisdiction of Elven Town.

As he approached the mountains, Juan noticed that the farmland had disappeared and been replaced by neatly arranged rubber groves.

Sporadicly, elves with variegated hair are seen tapping rubber.

Juan sighed: "These rubber farmers are very lucky, the elf town is more than 50 kilometers away from here, I'm afraid they have to get up very early every day and arrive home very late." ”

Morgan said, "No, these are wild elves, they used to be lower elves, they don't live in an elf town, there is a village near here, and the wild elves who tap rubber live in the village." ”

"Is the village part of an elven town?"

"Theoretically, yes, but old Zach didn't bother with them, so the village had a certain independence.

"The wild elves here are very conservative, and they rarely deal with others except for exchanging latex with elven towns or dwarven valleys for living supplies and tools."

Morgan seemed to remember something funny, and he laughed "hehe".
