Green River Valley, Amphen Fen.

In the headquarters of the Eighth Army Corps, more than a dozen veterans gathered together.

"There is a high-ranking mage sitting in the magic tower, and attacking is not the way to win. Wilkinson stroked the short beard under his chin and said in a deep voice. Their covert plans have entered the stage of substantive discussions. How to take the Herseus Valley bloodlessly has become their main issue, and this group of experienced veterans does not lack the military quality of arranging troops.

"According to the information obtained by the scouts, the main forces of the Herseus Valley were all taken to the front line by Allegri and Dios, and most of the defenders were light infantry with low combat effectiveness, such as the swordsman battalion that maintained law and order, etc., and there was a big gap between them and the elite of the legion, so there was no need to worry," the commander of the rangers, who was as tall and thin as a vulture, said in a statement, "It is with this in mind that the king is still worried about the safety of this place after sending the Eighth Legion to defend the Duke of Borriello, so he sent our Tenth Legion to garrison the Liujin Trade Road to ensure that nothing goes wrong." ”

"There is also a squadron of 'Blue Jacket Long Shooters', and the surveillance net they have laid is a factor that we must consider," General Contesa reminded, "Our troops are dominated by light infantry and light cavalry, and although they are not slow, it is difficult to hide from the keen eyes of the eagle-eyed archers. ”

"Is it possible to bring them over as well?" The noble generals present all knew the difficulty of the "Blue Cloth Long Shot", and when they frowned and thought about it, one of them said so.

"The possibility is very small, and it is easy to leak the news in a hurry," Captain Contesa shook his head, "Don't forget, most of the soldiers in the 'Blue Cloth Long Shot' are from the herdsmen's children on both sides of the Shiquan River, and they don't have a good impression of our nobles." ”

"This group of barbarians on the steppe. A red-faced veteran snorted. Most of the elite legions of the empire have their own recruiting areas, such as the "Ice Field Hunters", which are often recruited locally in the Snow Hell Ice Field, while the former "Purple Electric Light Horseman" prefers young men from the mountains of the East.

"Generals. Don't forget," everyone fell into deep thought again, and a strategist dressed as a staff officer suddenly spoke, "Our biggest advantage is that before we draw our swords, we are still the justifiable Snowton South Expeditionary Army. ”

"Hmm......" Contra nodded thoughtfully, motioning for him to continue.

"The Tenth Legion is responsible for the defense of the Golden Trade Route, which naturally includes the 'Path of the Troopers'. As long as our troops are under the banner of the Tenth Legion, the 'Blue Cloth Long Shot' will neither guard nor hinder interrogation," the strategist cleared his throat, looked around at everyone, and raised his tone, "What's more, we are the Tenth Army of the Southern Expeditionary Army. There is no need for camouflage at all. ”

"That's what I mean," Wilkinson affirmed. He added, "According to the division of duties, our 10th Army has the right to inspect the security arrangements of the 'Path of the Lightwalkers', and also has the right to send troops of less than 2,000 men into the Herseus Valley. ”

"Two thousand. I'm afraid it's not enough, right?" the red-faced general questioned. The power of magic has long been proven on the battlefield of Ian, which makes them dare not take it lightly.

"What if these two thousand are the elite of the Eighth and Twelfth Legions?" Contra laughed, "Two thousand warriors above the middle rank. Enough to clear the remaining forces in the Herseus Valley. ”

"Your Excellency, I have built two thousand people, all of whom have been selected from the infantry army," the black-clothed strategist, who was also a shrewd man, quickly sorted out his thoughts, "While they marched, the cavalry units of the two major legions followed dozens of miles away, and once the battle broke out in front, they quickly rushed to the battlefield to help the friendly army. ”

"Very good," Wilkinson nodded approvingly, "In the Battle of Fehrenman, the Torm Confederation sent troops to help the Holy See of Light, and the High Command ordered the whole army to strengthen its defenses, and we can mobilize our troops in the name of the exercise, and the location was chosen in the southwest of the Herseus River Valley, towards the side of Thorm...... We can also send a letter to Allegri before that, so that he will not be alarmed. ”

"Our troops who can ensure their loyalty are about 20,000 men, including 8,000 cavalry troops," Contra said on the map, "2,000 elite infantry as the vanguard, 8,000 cavalry as the backbone, and the remaining 10,000 men make a maneuver posture, and when the battle breaks out, all march northward, and go all out to capture the Herseus Valley." ”

"The three waves of soldiers and horses complement each other, and they are in line with the trend of the 'three stacked waves' in the art of war," the black-clothed staff officer said with a smile, and he was also quite good at slapping horses, "With mental calculation or unintentional, Allegri will definitely be defeated." ”

All the veterans nodded yes, and they all thought that they had a chance to win.

"But this Allegri is not to be underestimated," Conterra pondered for a moment, and then explained, "so be it, when the vanguard enters the Herseus Valley, I will summon Allegri to come and question him, and his current rank is only a lieutenant, and he will not fail to give me this face...... At that time, I will order the guards around me to shoot and kill him, and I expect him to be a magician, and he will be close to a skilled warrior, isn't it a certain death?"

"At that time, Herseus will be leaderless, and he will surely be defeated faster," the black-clad strategist praised him, "Your Excellency, what a clever plan." ”

Contra smiled, held his head high and stroked his beard, looking very smug.

"As for the rest of the legion, loyalty is difficult to guarantee, so let's transfer them to the south as much as possible, and exchange them for our cronies by the way," Wilkinson waved his hand and ordered, "This process, for the sake of concealment, is best completed within five days." ”

"Yes, General. All the generals present stood up and responded to their orders.

"Two adults, what is the specific time to send troops?" the Ranger commander asked, he wanted to plant scouts accordingly, so that the army would not attract the attention of the enemy when it marched.

"I'm not sure yet, but I'll let you know three days," Connta commanded in a low voice, "and continue to scout for what is going on in the Herseus Valley during this time." Report back to me immediately. ”

One by one, the generals were ordered to leave, and Contra and Wilkinson went to the "Laurel" tavern, where wine, food and beauty were still waiting for the two old generals.

It wasn't until a qiē returned to calm that a cloud of empty air creeped in the cubicle of the chamber and swam out along the corner of the wall. As a legendary thief who once infiltrated the palace of Buyada, the commander of a rear legion is really a bit overkill.

What's more, these guys are defenseless, and the guards at the door are actually only mid-level strength. Walking by, Collison casually took the sachet from the waist of one of the guards, quietly stuffed it into the trouser pocket of the guard next to him, and then smiled silently and walked away.
