Chapter 793: Burning the City
"This battle, I'm going to fight like this......"
Gavin did not hesitate to share the forces in his hands and the tactics he was going to adopt with the two, because the next battle required the strong cooperation of the troops they led to have any hope of success.
"The Commander even has an air force in his hands!"
"Burning the city!"
After listening to Gavin's plan, Rao is a well-informed person of the Golden Feather Witch and Hanso's Great Druid, and he couldn't help but gasp, both shocked by the strength of the other party's power and the viciousness of the other party's methods.
"There is no way to do this, even if we gather the forces of the Quartet and confront it head-on, our chances of winning are not great, we can only use tricks to narrow the gap."
Gavin said helplessly, "If it is not broken, it will not stand, as long as the residents here can be preserved, even if this place is burned, we can rebuild it afterwards, but if those citizens are devoured by monsters, then the city is really destroyed." ”
"This plan is indeed very bold, but it is full of too many variables, and once the intention is exposed in advance, it may fail, and it has very high requirements for the immediate command."
"So, I have the courage to ask the two adults to hand over the command of this war to me,"
"This is a matter of course, Mr. Gavin is a voter of the Stratagem Lady, and this plan is proposed by you, and it is not up to you to hand it over to anyone."
"I don't have an opinion, but those citizens of Usmail City, will they agree to this plan?"
"You just need to make sure that your forces are in place on time, and I'll take care of the rest." Gavin said confidently.
"No problem."
"My side needs to go back to the front line to negotiate, and while trying to draw troops, I also want to let the main force drag the Tucans as much as possible, so that they don't have the energy to send more troops to assist this activated plant army."
"If there are no other problems, then let's do it, we have very little time left." Gavin said with a high fighting spirit.
Not only is he no longer afraid of the next battle, but he is full of expectations.
It has been proven that there is no more convenient way to quickly establish contact with local forces than to unite against a strong enemy.
As long as he can command and win this war, he will not only have a good relationship with the Lesserman Kingdom, but even establish a good relationship with the local forces of Juga, paving the way for the next plan.
After sending the Golden Feather Witch and Hanso's Grand Druid away, Gavin immediately met with the three leaders of the Brotherhood of Swords, who also played an important role in his plan.
In Usmail City, these serpents are more intimidating and powerful than his strong dragon.
After listening to Gavin's introduction to the enemy, the three leaders of the Sword Assassination Brotherhood changed color and asked in a loud voice, "General, are you mistaken?" How could such a powerful dark force lurk in the Lysle Forest? ”
"There is no mistake about it, this news was sent by the Golden Feather Witches of the Lythman Witches Council and the Hanso Great Druid of the Rice Order."
Gavin beckoned, and directly threw out the phantom of the three of them who had originally explored the origin of the enemy, "They are in a hurry to return to dispatch their troops, so they don't have time to meet with the three leaders in person, and the Toucan Eagle Knights who have been harassing us have been not only to block food in Usmail City, but also to cover this withered army, so that we can't detect their invasion in the first place." ”
"If everything is true, won't the destruction of our city of Usmail happen overnight?"
"We certainly can't hold it on our own, but with the intervention and help of General Gavin, the Lesser Kingdom and the Rice Order, we should still have hope."
"General, you must help us, you can't sit idly by and watch this city be destroyed."
The three leaders of the Sword Thorn Brotherhood no longer questioned the truth of the news, but looked at Gavin with a blank eye, not to mention that their main force was at sea, not Usmail City, even here, they were helpless in the face of the army of Demon Tree people led by dozens of Demon Trees.
But the importance of the city of Usmail to them is self-evident, and without it, they are no different from the pirates who are helpless at sea.
As for the fact that the enemy was attracted by Gavin, they never mentioned it, it was a fool's doing, they had already done it once before, and they would never do it again.
"Even if it weren't for the requests of the three leaders, I wouldn't sit idly by." Gavin confided his true purpose, "We have made a battle plan, the odds are great, but the price to pay is also very high, and we need the cooperation of the three leaders to lead your brothers. ”
"General, if you need us to do anything, just say it, we will definitely do our best to cooperate."
"We are grasshoppers on a rope now, and the general doesn't need to hide it."
"Let's listen to the general's plan first."
In comparison, Duis, who is the boss of the sword assassination, is more stable and cunning, and even if he is shocked, he does not make promises easily.
"The enemy we faced this time was different from the flesh and blood of the past, and the sword played a very limited role against them, but it was their attack that was fatal to those soldiers.
With the earthen walls of Usmail, even with the help of the Lythman Kingdom and the Lyss Order, the chances of us being able to hold it are almost zero.
In that case, we might as well use this city as a trap and put their main force in and then set it on fire. Gavin patiently explained the plan again.
"What? You're going to set fire to the city? No, absolutely not, isn't this destroying our city with your own hands? ”
"The third child, don't be so excited, this is a war, there will inevitably be casualties in the war, and you must pay a price, since the other party is powerful, if you can lose both sides with the other party, even if you pay the city as the price, it is also a good choice, at least you can drag the enemy to die together."
"All plants are afraid of fire, and those dark activated plants are no exception, this is indeed an effective way to kill enemies, but what about those citizens who set fire to the city?"
The reaction of the three brothers of the Sword Assassination Brotherhood was much more fierce than Gavin expected, and it was normal to think about it, after all, this city was where their foundation was.
"Our burning of the city is planned and selective, and it is not the burning of the whole city, at least the dock warehouse area and your shipyard are not within this scope."
Gavin analyzed in depth, "We can evacuate the citizens to this part of the area in advance, but it is difficult to grasp the strength when the real fight starts, and the safest way is to let them take refuge on the warship transport ship of the Cormier fleet, and plug five or six thousand people up, there should be no problem." ”
Although the grain fleet of the Cormier Kingdom has finished unloading the grain, the materials and goods for the return journey have not yet arrived, and they have not returned for the time being, so Gavin is naturally making full use of it.
"It's a good way to do it, as long as we can make sure that the citizens are safe, even if the city of Usmail is completely burned, we can rebuild from the ruins."
"The General wants our Brotherhood to help mobilize the citizens of Usmail City and evacuate them to a safe non-war zone?"
The three leaders of the Brotherhood of Swords had compromised in their words, because no matter how much they weighed the balance of strength, they could not find a second way to win.
"Yes, we don't have much time left, it's too late to explain too much to those citizens, they must be forcibly moved out of the war zone to reduce casualties, this is something that only your brotherhood can do, but in this way, you will have to bear a lot of infamy." This is the real reason why Gavin brought in the three leaders of the Brotherhood with a sword.
"Our Brotherhood has a lot of infamy in Usmail, and we don't care if we have one more, as long as we can ensure their safety, the city can be rebuilt."
"This infamy is only temporary, and when the war comes, they will be grateful to us."
"This job, our brotherhood took it."
The three leaders of the Brotherhood of Swords were more cheerful than Gavin had expected, at least without his factual, reasonable lobbying.
"There's a problem in this matter, those Eagle Knights of the Tucans have been hovering over our heads, and if we organize a large-scale transfer of citizens, won't we be exposed to their sight? This would kill those citizens, but it could also expose our strategic intentions and kill our plans. Duis, the boss of the Brotherhood of Swords, points out the challenges they have to face.
"I've already thought about this, you just have to prepare, and I promise that when you officially start the operation, they won't have any effect on you." Gavin didn't explain much about this matter, and went straight to the big picture.
Duis stood up and interrupted the other two brothers' questions, "Time is urgent, the task is heavy, we won't delay the general's time too much, let's organize the manpower and mobilize those citizens to carry out the corresponding retreat." ”
The other party is not an ordinary person, since he dares to say so, he must already have the corresponding means, and he is still unwilling to make it public, asking more will only increase the embarrassment.
"Then please leave it to the three leaders, I still have a bunch of preparations to do, so I won't be far away."
"Stay, let's go."
The three leaders of the Brotherhood of Swords and Thorns left in a hurry, and before they saw the enemy, they wanted to evacuate the citizens of Usmail City, and in just one day, it was not an easy task even for the Brotherhood of Swords.
"It's a big fog, this time is foggy out of thin air, this is not a naturally formed fog, but the druids' seven-ring spells manipulate the weather, those Toucan Eagle knights can't see the situation on the ground, so naturally there is no way to threaten us."
"We didn't even think of such a simple method."
"That's the importance of knowledge, and we're lacking in this area."
"In this way, we don't have to worry about those Toucan Eagle Knights, but it will cause great inconvenience to our next personnel evacuation."
"In this world, there is no perfect thing, let's go up, we don't have a choice now."
"You don't question the credibility of this at all? What if this is a trap that the other party has set for us? ”
"What's the set?"
"In order to take away the inhabitants of Usmail City, what should we do if the citizens who are on the Cormir fleet will not be unloaded at all, and will be transported directly back to the Cormir Kingdom? If you look at the army of immigrants he has created, you can know that he is full of thirst for population, and who knows whether his army of immigrants is all voluntary? Or is it coerced? ”
"You can eat indiscriminately, you can't talk nonsense, do you think General Gavin is as short-sighted as you? Just look at the military supplies he brought to see that he had a great plan for coming this time. ”
"That's right, he brought back 100,000 immigrants in Tesser, even if he is worried about immigration, he will not look at these thousands of people in our Usmail City, for him, our Usmail City is just a springboard, and it is estimated that entering the entire Giant Valley is only the first step, and it will eventually return to the Sesk side, compared to the golden road flowing with gold, the Giant Valley Hongdao is too unattractive."
"Big brother's analysis is very correct, it's my shallow knowledge."
"You have to change your thinking in time, the realm of the two sides is different, the eyes of things are different, we regard things as treasures, people may not be able to see it, he is developing, a little thing that leaks between his fingers, it is enough for us to make a lot of money.
You've all been in contact with the previous president of the Thousand Heads Chamber of Commerce, but do you know that a year ago, he was just a merchant with three or four wagons. ”
"Shhh...... Big brother, do you mean to say that the other party became the president of a chamber of commerce because he hugged General Gavin's thigh? ”
"That's right, his several take-off points are related to this general, this time to transport military supplies to the Eastern Regions, but also rely on his relationship, to catch the ship of the Cormier fleet, once this deal is successful, the other party will take another extremely critical step, making more money is secondary, the most important thing is to take the opportunity to spread the commercial network to the Eastern Regions, what does this mean, I believe I don't need to say more."
"A regional chamber of commerce and cross-regional are not a concept at all, whether it is the ability to resist risks or the speed of development, it will be greatly improved."
"This is also where this general is powerful, take other people's money and strength, do his own thing, I heard that in this Cormier fleet, whether it is food or equipment, all are from those merchants, and the transport fleet is from the Cormier Kingdom, he has never produced a single gold coin, but he has absolute dominance, and even the money he makes is not less than that of those merchants."
"This is the power of the channel, who let him control the channel that neither the merchants nor the Cormir kingdom have? Only if he threads the needle in it, can he make everything take shape, and now he is using the same power of channels in Usmail City, not only those Lythman witches have taken the initiative to come to the door, but even the Lythman Order has to rely on his power, compared to them, the weight of our Brotherhood is not heavy enough. ”
"You don't need me to teach you what to do next, do you?"
"What does the big brother mean is that we also have to hug the thighs of this big man, borrow his channel power to develop, and take the opportunity to grow?"
"Actually, we're already doing it now, isn't the fleet that we're gathering back just to take the opportunity to get out of the Eastern Regions?"
"I mean, we're a little too conservative in our approach, which is not to put in a part of the fleet, but to put all the ships that are qualified into it."
"Shhh...... Big brother, you are crazy, doing so is tantamount to being completely tied to General Gavin, if we succeed, we will certainly soar into the sky and directly break the predicament that has been trapped in the Eastern Bay, but once we fail, we will also be doomed, far less stable than now. ”
"You still haven't understood the situation yet, and when the time comes, it's not something we want to do, but we will be put on the incineration rack by the other party like today, and we have to do this, rather than being passive at that time, it is better to take the initiative."
"It's a bit too early to talk about this, the most important thing for us now is to get through the current crisis, why don't we start a gamble with this war?"
"Bet on what?"
"Just bet on winning or losing, if we lose, there is no need to say more, not only will our strength here be hit hard, but General Gavin's plan will also be thwarted, and we will have to switch to Sesk's Tefram, so it doesn't matter if we borrow his channel power.
But if he wins, he will gain a firm foothold here, and his influence in both the Great Valley and the Lythman Kingdom will be greatly increased, and then we can let go of our hands and feet to join him and fully use his influence to develop ourselves, what do you think? ”
"It's not a gamble, it's a safe suggestion in itself, just follow what the eldest brother said."
"I agree."
"Then this matter is decided, but the most important task for us now is to arrange the retreat of the citizens of Usmail, you must do a good job of supervision, what are the virtues of those people below, you should know better than me, you must put an end to the situation of robbery while the fire is burning, from now on, they are our biggest bargaining chips in cooperation with General Gavin, don't destroy all the hearts of the people, as soon as they turn their heads, they can remove us from the ranks of cooperation."
"I'm afraid it's hard to guarantee, especially violent, even we will be suspicious of the enemy's attack, let alone those citizens, I'm afraid that it will be difficult to put the plan into practice without some coercive means."
"I know, so I asked you to put an end to serious violence, try not to kill people, and at the same time not provoke them to unite and resist, and if necessary, make certain commitments."
"Hey...... I'm afraid that if we make a promise, they won't believe it. ”
"Actually, those ordinary citizens with no background are easy to do, but I am afraid that the shadow union and the skeleton will help them secretly make trouble and encourage those ignorant citizens to fight against us."
"What we should be most afraid of now is not that they are taking the lead, but that they are not taking the lead, don't you think this is an opportunity?"
"Big brother wants to go to war with them? Uproot them and completely monopolize the entire Usmail City? ”
