408. Battle plan against the orcs
In the last few days, Lili has not rested well, and when she sleeps at night, she always dreams of her father, crawling towards her with bones like wood and trembling, begging her to go to the royal capital. Lili had been hesitant, but she couldn't stand her father's repeated pleas, and went to the station of Longtai Mountain with Kaye yesterday.
What made her strangest was that last night, he seemed to have disappeared, and even Lili herself could feel as if something was missing in her heart.
"Could it be that my father really lives in my heart?" Lili didn't quite understand, and she didn't dare to ask Kaye or the big goblin Liel, so she could only return to Night Qicheng as soon as possible.
At noon on the 26th, when she returned to the underground ruins from the Longtai Mountain Palace, Lili soon found that the underground ruins were very quiet, and even outside the training circle that usually lined up, only Wuling was waiting for Yuling to train inside.
"Cardinals? What about them? Lili went directly to the communication room to ask the little cardinal.
"Your Excellency has taken Wendy and Mage Gorea to the dragon camp west of the city, where Fireflies are too. Yesterday afternoon, Lord Ben Kaul came and made a new training circle at the Mentor Tower, and all the apprentices went there to train, and the adults said that the training circle in the ruins will mainly be used for people above the intermediate level. ”
Because there was only one Xia Ling in the communication room now, the little cardinal had to stare intently at the dozen mirrors in front of him, and even if he spoke, he couldn't turn his head.
"And Sophia and Jonny followed the legendary elf to the imperial capital"
"Imperial Capital?" Lili was shocked, "Did they really go to the imperial capital?" ”
"Yes, it's only 3 or 4 days, they completed the magic plan of the new magic furnace last night, that Saranir said, it is best for them to go to the imperial capital to supervise the production, by the way, that Faneuil was also brought over"
When Lili heard that the fox girl Faneuil had gone to the imperial capital, she couldn't help but feel a little happy, but also a little disappointed, after all, Faneuil and Rand were the only two people who knew her identity as a dream mage, and she liked to discuss dreams with the fox girl.
Originally, Lili wanted to go to the west of the city to find Rand and Wendy, but she didn't expect that just after arriving at the palace, Rand invited the three giants of the Dragon Knights to the palace for luncheon, and a group of people had already returned.
"Little Rand, your camp is too well built, they should not want to move their nest in the future," said the head of the regiment, William Wallace, with a smile at the table.
The members of the Knights spoke very highly of the camp, especially after entering the Galloping Plain, the environment was chaotic, and many members felt unwell. The level of mana in the hive camp has been greatly increased, which is of great benefit to Warcraft, knights, and mages.
"That is, knights should practice all the time, and the purpose of your building is to let them rest all the time," Marshall Doriner echoed, "But Rand, your understanding of magic is truly amazing, and I think you will be able to reach the pinnacle of the high level in a few years." ”
For the praise of several elders, Rand was also very happy: "The stationing of the Dragon Knights around Night Qi City is not a day and a half, and the long-term deployment is bound to have supporting logistics support, and ensuring supply is to ensure combat effectiveness." ”
Several of the people here are veterans who have been on the battlefield for a long time, and they naturally agree with Rand's point of view, and when the meal was about to end, William Wallace suddenly wiped his mouth, glanced at the two old guys around him, and then asked Rand very formally: "Archon Rand?" Do you have a basic expectation for the future confrontation with the orc army? ”
Rand listened and knew that this was William asking himself in an official tone, the future battle plan, in other words, if he was a reliable commander, then the Dragon Knights were willing to help him, and if he was too unreliable, then they would do it themselves.
The battle against the orcs is also a place that Rand has been thinking about recently, according to Ben, the royal court of the orcs has begun to mobilize its subordinate departments, and it is expected that the first batch of attacks will arrive after the autumn. When winter begins, the entire orc general attack will be ushered in. Even if the Orc Court is not mobilized widely enough, the two orc tribes located in the Hindukr Valley west of the plains will launch an attack around autumn.
"Three, my team has reached the mountain pass in the western part of the plains, and has begun to set up a pass," Rand said of his current situation. "My plan is this, first of all, we will resist the attack of scattered tribes on the interior of the plain before the orc autumn offensive, and prevent the destruction of transportation lines of communication."
Looking at the three of them and nodding, Rant continued: "Secondly, before autumn, I will build a fortress group in the West 7 Post Station, that is, west of the Luoyue River, and establish three defense lines of Western Mountain Pass-West 7 Fortress-Night Qi City, my idea is that if the Orc army attacks too fiercely in winter, I will abandon the mountain pass defense line and move to the vicinity of the West 7 Fortress, so that I can use the surrounding mountains and the nearby plain tribes to harass and disintegrate it."
In addition, the royal court of the orc tribe is between the mountains west of the Hindukr, and they need to go through a long supply line from the royal court to the west 7, and they have been prepared for several attacks in the past, hoarding a large amount of grain and grass, and this sudden attack will inevitably have limited food to support their army. ”
Hearing this, William Wallace couldn't help but ask, "What are you going to do between autumn and winter?" ”
"I plan to lead an army into the Hindukar Valley to raid the orc tribes," Rand said firmly, "so that on the one hand, we can increase our resources, and on the other hand, we can dissipate the war ability of the orcs." ”
In the face of Rand's answer, the three who were accustomed to knightly duels and dignified battles were a little dumbfounded, and Marshall Duo Reiner couldn't help but ask: "Is it such a barbarian?" ”
"I just want the orcs to know that it's not one galloping nobleman who is fighting them, but the barbarians of the entire plain," Rant's voice was not loud, but it kept echoing in the quiet dining room.
"Rand? Are you going to go to the hinterland of the orcs yourself? Gureya put down the utensils and asked with some concern.
"Yes, if they can come to the plains, I can naturally go to the basin, I plan to see if there are any looted terrans and barbarians in the valley, if there are any disgruntled orcs, move them back to the plains, or let them resist, there are some things that a few knights can't decide, only I am here."
Marshall Doriner didn't say anything, but put down his utensils and began to pray quietly, along with his junior, Wright Doriner.
William looked at Durandel, the deputy head of the regiment, and then said: "Rand, whether you can hold the western pass or not, if you dare to lead the army into the Hindukr, I will report to His Majesty and His Majesty Dusen, and give you as much support as possible, and the nobles of our empire should be like you, and kill the orcs in their lair!" ”
