On February 12, 1019, Hua Tianli was the command ship of the expeditionary force.

"Outside the 4,000-kilometer cordon, a large number of demonic beasts of the Poseidon Empire were found, although our soldiers are constantly hunting these days, but there is still no way to hunt them all, there are six or seven low-level demonic beasts here, and high-level demonic beasts are god-level, among which the seven or eighth-level demonic beasts are the mainstay. Sima Wei said, at this time, in the command cabin, all the people were stern, after all, this news is not good news.

"Are there any other discoveries?" asked Kuming. Now in front of him is a large magic screen, which shows the picture from the scout, it can be seen that three thousand kilometers away, there are countless demonic beasts gathering there, tearing and killing, you can see that a new round of attacks of the Poseidon Empire is about to begin.

"Nothing to discover, needless to say in the sky, the number of demonic beasts on the sea far exceeds our estimates, the front can reach nearly four thousand kilometers, and the depth reaches three thousand kilometers in the sea area, countless demonic beasts are gathering there, the number is extremely large, and there are many demonic beasts are rushing to this side. Sima Wei said directly.

"Can you give a preliminary estimate of the number of demonic beasts now?" Zhuge Yibu asked, the extremely large number was just a general statement, a vague statement, and these things were not very helpful for the battle. Because ten is more, and a hundred is more, so they need to draw a specific number from it, even if that number is wrong, but it can also be used as a reference, and they will not be confused by a general number.

"In terms of sea area, it is not less than 10 billion. And that's not even counting the monsters below the surface. If we add it up, we estimate that there are about four times as many monsters on the surface of the water. Then the total number of this group of demonic beasts is 50 billion, in short, things are very bad. Sima Wei said sternly.

"Hmm. If there really are so many demonic beasts, our warriors may not be able to kill them all until they are soft, how can they be so nourished in the sea? Every time we fight, we face a huge number of enemies. Damn!" Long Tianxian scolded on the side, what he said was not wrong, the expeditionary force seemed to be a natural enemy with numbers, the first battle formed was the beast tide, and later it fought with the demons. It is even a minority of 10 million to deal with the boundless demons, but fortunately, there is a problem with the command of the demons, so that the expeditionary force has a gap, so in the battle with the demons, it is not so much that the demons are defeated in the hands of the expeditionary force, but that they are defeated in their own hands, and the expeditionary force is just a pusher. But in front of the organized, quantitative, and qualitative Poseidon Empire, they may not have this kind of tricky behavior again.

"Hemp, are we born to be in conflict with numbers?" Sun Gongfeng sighed. For the battle against Warcraft, they have the deepest naval experience. If it weren't for the fact that their warships were all redesigned and made of steel, their warships would have been changed for a long time.

"Has there been any research from Binhai University that the Poseidon Empire uses something to command those demonic beasts?" Kong Ming saw that these people were complaining. There is no better way in my heart to know if I go on like this. I'm afraid that the enemy did not come, and their morale dropped a lot. And at the time of the first war with the Poseidon Empire. They found that mermaids can actually use a magic device to command magical beasts, if they can get the trick of this, maybe they can get unexpected results in the battle, after all, the Poseidon Empire relies on those seven or eight level magical beasts, although these magical beasts are intellectually proficient, but there is still no way to compare with people, they can understand some simple words, distinguish between the enemy and me, I hope they are like humans, order and prohibit, this is almost impossible, so the Poseidon Empire must have used magic equipment to direct their actions, and now they only need to get the trick inside。

"Not yet, at that time, they commanded too few times, and our people were too ruthless, so they didn't hesitate at all, and they were directly arrested, and the number of jù was too small, so there was no way to get their signal information for a while. However, the news that came back from there was that with those magic equipment, it was indeed possible to command the demonic beasts, and those demonic beasts seemed to be born to understand those signals, which was very magical. Zhuge Yibu replied that he had made a special trip to Binhai University for this matter, and this phenomenon surprised him.

"General Ye, you elves are close to nature, and you have your own set of words for controlling demonic beasts, I don't know if it's inconvenient to reveal a thing or two, and those mermaids in the sea control demonic beasts in the same way as you?" Kong Ming turned around and looked at Ye Jianhui. As a representative of the elven clan, after the end of the demon war, he did not leave the expeditionary force, but stayed and served as the deputy chief of staff of the expeditionary force, after all, the elven empire is also a part of the Huatian Continent.

"Merfolk are actually a branch of our elves, which everyone must know, so their control of the magic beast has many similarities with us, but because their understanding of the sea monster far exceeds ours, so if the sea is better than the control of the monster, our elf clan will not be their opponent. In Binhai University, there are also our elves who are conducting research in this area, but because they are too far apart, there are too many differences in the language, and we are constantly translating, hoping to get a good language spectrum when the time comes!" Ye Jianhui sighed, this is really no way, although the mermaid and the elf seem to be two races, in fact, they are both one race, but one lives on the earth, the other lives in the sea, not only the mermaid, but the demon shark, The Demon Whale and these royal families are also members of the Elven Clan, otherwise they would not be around the mermaids.

"It would be nice if you could capture a few mermaids at that time, hemp, Lu Zhongyi, you are too ruthless, I don't know how many to catch back?" Zhuge Yibu said angrily.

"Gao Shen, do you have to talk about your conscience, at that time, I received an order to get as many magic command equipment as possible, where do you care about the life or death of their mermaids?" Lu Zhongyi smiled bitterly. The orders that were received in the sky at that time could only be carried out. And these days, because of this incident, he doesn't know how many times he has been complained about by his colleagues. It's just that there is really no way to explain such a thing, and the facts are the facts. If you do it all over again. He must have ordered a few to be caught alive.

"Hehe, speaking of this, I suddenly remembered something. Zhang Yiming said on the side. After everyone heard it, they all looked at it, after all, both men and women have a certain enthusiasm for gossip.

"What's the matter?" Li Feizhi asked, after all, he gave that order, so he also wanted to dilute the atmosphere with something else.

"Have you noticed the changes in the previous battle?" Zhang Yiming said with some mystery, as a wise man. Of course, he knows how to grasp the hearts and minds of those who listen to stories.

"To get to the point, hemp, we are not fortune tellers, so there are not so many mysteries. Kong Ming scolded with a smile, what he hated the most in his life was a guy like a god, after all, Zhuge made him freeze outside for countless days with a few words, so he had some small shadows in his heart.

"Well, let's just say it! Before our second wave attacked them, they were pretty much all the way down. It was a means of destroying the enemy by force, so we have reason to think that the commander of the Poseidon Empire at that time was a very conservative guy, and he had no problem at all whether he could break through Valiant Island. Because he knew that once he pressed all the demonic beasts, then he would inevitably win. Zhang Yiming said.

"This is not necessarily!" Long Tianxian muttered on the side, complaining about this. It's just that no one pays attention to him. Everyone was listening to Zhang Yiming's words.

"After our second wave of attacks, which focused on the merfolk. Their methods of fighting have changed, and they have been pressed on all fronts from the beginning. Breaking the enemy with strength turned into a plank road and secretly crossed Chen Cang, which directly caught us off guard. In other words, because we eliminated their commander at the time, they had to reappoint a commander. And judging from the commander's command style, he belongs to the kind of mermaid who is xiàn. Zhang Yiming guessed.

"What do you mean?" Li Feizhi thought for a moment and asked, Zhang Yiming's words were really confusing.

"Are you saying that the mermaid was appointed temporarily, and that he is very eager to show his command skills? Can I understand that?" Zhuge Yibu asked after a moment's thought. For him, the expression xiàn type means that the person did not have the opportunity to appear xiàn in the first place, and the death of many mermaids gave him such an opportunity.

"Or I think it's more youth, only young people are anxious to show that they are different. It's just that I really don't understand his last withdrawal of troops, why?" Li Feizhi said again, he is relatively old among the crowd, so he has more knowledge, and there have been countless young talents who have used countless methods in order to attract his attention, which can really be described as strange and omnipresent, so when I reviewed the enemy's command again, I had such a feeling.

"If the Chief of Staff is telling the truth, I have a bold guess, but some of this speculation may be too shocking. Zhuge Yibu opened his mouth and said, as a senior staff member, he wants to use his own intelligence to analyze various possible situations and provide a more accurate and close to the facts basis for the command.

"Tell me and take a look. Kong Ming smiled, what could be more terrifying than having a god-king-level previous life?

After hearing Kong Ming say this, everyone looked at Zhuge Yibu one after another.

"First of all, let's make sure that the merfolk who commanded the beast tide this time is a young man, or he can be said to belong to the kind of young people among the merfolk clan. On this basis, let's think about it, after most of the merfolk were annihilated by Commander Lu, he was ordered to command this operation of Warcraft. So what is his state of mind at this time?" asked Zhuge Yibu.

"At this time, he should be for merit, and then for the sake of himself, let himself enter the eyes of the upper echelons of the entire Poseidon Empire, then he must take a risk, after all, commanding such a huge operation, the emperor of the Poseidon Empire must know such a thing, maybe he is paying attention to this matter throughout the whole process of his action. Therefore, in order to achieve his goal, he even directly gave up all the low-level demonic beasts, and let the high-level demonic beasts stealthily attack directly towards Heroic Island from the bottom of the water. So. In the minds of the mermaid's high-level leaders, he has become a brave and resourceful character, and he is brave. It was because he attacked directly into the hinterland of our defense, and it was because he avoided our main force. He achieved both. Zhuge Yibu boldly speculated.

"Then why did he directly withdraw all the demonic beasts at the last moment?" Li Feizhi asked, this is what he has always puzzled, after all, the demonic beasts at that time had the upper hand.

"The first one, his purpose was achieved, he managed to leave a good impression among the upper echelons of the Poseidon Empire, because his strategy did succeed and made us very passive, and the second is that they came too hastily. So they didn't bring those demonic beasts that could attack on land, so their attack power was greatly reduced, after all, if we pay attention, we must know that the demonic beasts they went ashore at that time were all demonic beasts after transformation, and almost all of the demonic beasts in the sea couldn't walk on their bodies, so we were killed in vain, even if they were transformed, because they didn't adapt to the new body. He also didn't adapt to this way of fighting, and let us kill all sides, so he had to retreat, otherwise. They can only stay here, of course, more importantly, because we can all step on the flying sword, and once the shape is unfavorable, we can fly away directly, so that he is helpless. Therefore, he can only accept it when he sees it, and only when he sees it can he keep this rare opportunity. Zhuge Yibu said. These days, they are constantly inspecting the various units and seeing how they are preparing for battle. Therefore, this phenomenon is ignored.

"Hmm, it makes sense!" Long Tianxian muttered.

"It does make sense!" Li Feizhi also said.

"If this speculation is true. Then the next enemy leader will definitely not be the same grudge guy from before. Ye Jianhui said directly, for this battle, he has some weakness, after all, being beaten to the house, such an experience is not very comfortable.

"Come on, that's not the point, Zhang Gaoshen said your guess. Kong Ming watched these people talk farther and farther, and directly pulled the topic back. After hearing Kong Ming's words, everyone looked at Zhang Yiming, not knowing what amazing thing he did.

"Well, my guess is that the mermaid status in the Poseidon Empire is definitely much higher than we think. Zhang Yiming said.

"Reason. "Kong Ming has no nonsense.

"In an army, if the commander is attacked and killed, it is usually the person of the lower position who takes over the army, which is a common practice for us. Zhang Yiming said after organizing the language.

"That's right, this is indeed a rule!" Everyone nodded, this was originally a strong measure of the army, after all, the heads of soldiers are tied to the waistbands of their trousers, and no one knows what will happen in the next moment, so the commander of each level has a corresponding agent, that is, once the commander is killed, then there must be another person to take over his work in the next moment, otherwise, the entire army will become at a loss and directly perish.

"But because we have the magic equipment in our hands to control the battle of the demonic beasts, we have eliminated most of the mermaids, and it is a young mermaid who takes over their army, don't you think it's strange?

"Are you saying that the mermaid's status in the Poseidon Empire is absolute?" Zhuge Yibu quickly reacted, if this guess was correct, then they might be able to make a countermeasure against this situation, and once this countermeasure is implemented, it can be expected that the impact on the Poseidon Empire will be great.

Everyone also reacted one after another.

"If they didn't hand over the command to other races at such a critical juncture, then it really proves that the status of the mermaid in the Poseidon Empire is really very special. Li Feizhi sighed.

The Poseidon Empire's countermeasure at this time is an obvious employment policy problem, this kind of policy is to look at the background, not to look at the ability, this kind of thing is very clear to these people in the commander, after all, everyone has been in the army for so long, this kind of thing is not encountered once or twice, and for civil officials like Zhuge Yibu and Zhang Yiming, it is even more so, after all, they are directly the people in the court, and they are clear about the doorway to death.

"Hey, they were really lucky last time. "Long Tianxian said angrily, if you just met a fool among the mermaids in the last battle, then maybe the results of the expeditionary force will be much better, at least you won't be beaten to the base camp by others. The face was directly lost.

"However, they don't always be so lucky!" Lu Zhongyi said directly.

"General Ye, can I ask a question?" Kong Ming turned to Ye Jianhui and asked. For him, only the elves know the elves best.

"I know what you want to ask. It's no secret in the continent, it's something that almost all learned people know. Among the elves, the royal family occupies an absolute dominant position, one is because the blood of the royal family contains the blessings of the elf god, so only the royal family can lead the elves to glory. As for others, there is no way to achieve such an effect, and each generation of Elven Empresses is the strongest among elves. As for the Poseidon Empire, the royal family among them is the mermaid clan, but they believe in the sea god, not the elf god, so I don't know where they are, but once they leave the blessing of the elf god, I don't know what they use to reflect the superiority of the royal family?" Ye Jianhui said directly.

Hearing Ye Jianhui's words, Kong Ming was really speechless, knowledgeable people knew it, but he didn't know it, he was a person who graduated from the Imperial Comprehensive University, was he considered a knowledgeable person? It's really a disaster. Everyone nodded when they heard this, Kong Ming really had some doubts about whether everyone was coming to him, but obviously this was not the time to care about these things.

"We don't know if the merfolk's dominance is absolute, but we can experiment with it in war. Zhuge Yibu said fiercely that war is not only the embodiment of an army's combat effectiveness, but also a place for internal political power competition.

"You mean to carry out a decapitation operation?" Zhang Yiming quickly grasped the essence of it. There are no certain regulations in the war, most of the time the command headquarters formulates the corresponding battle plan according to the specific situation at that time, or the maximum amount of specific situations that can be mastered, so each battle can only be used as a reference for the latecomers, not regulations, otherwise the army will soon fall into defeat, after all, many people who have fought before will learn or see the battles that have been fought by the predecessors. In this way, it is equivalent to revealing your own situation and plan to the enemy, and you don't have to think about what will happen next. What's more, the time of Shiyi has changed, and the situation in which the two battles are in is fundamentally different, how can it be possible to use the same set of plans?

"When the decapitation operation is not enough, you must know that our General Lu has just carried out such a decapitation operation on the mermaid, so in the next battle, the enemy's protection of the mermaid must be to the extreme, and it is quite difficult to behead. Zhuge Yibu groaned.

"It's hard, but it's not impossible. Kong Ming said, for a Venerable, it is indeed not an unacceptable thing to kill several commanders of the other party, but Kong Ming must not use his method, otherwise he would not need to get so many people out to fight with him. However, not using this method does not mean that he has no other method, and combat is not a formula in the first place.

"What's the solution?" Li Feizhi looked at Kong Ming, who had been listening to everyone's discussion. The other people also heard Kong Ming's words, so they all looked over.

"If that's right, we only need to do three things, and we're going to win this fight. Kong Ming said. (To be continued......)
