"That angel......" Captain Blood Banner leaned back in his chair. Every time he remembered the gesture of wielding a lightsaber with his four arms, he felt a dull pain in his abdomen. He also knew that this was a psychological effect—his wounds had long since healed completely. In the hallucinations that Carrie constructed, he had knocked Wendini down a hundred times, but the illusions were different from reality.

Today, the Greenskins used their magic to make a hole in the weak wall, and then swarmed in. But the angel came out and wiped out all the giants and trolls that rushed in...... This invulnerable monster scared the goblins into a rout, and even the escaped Spider Kid was half wiped out.

If that angel appears on the battlefield......

"Ten minutes, master. Wendini's protective force field lasts no more than ten minutes. It's only 10 minutes invincible. In her mind's eye, Carrie replied. "And your sword can fight against its protective force field. I believe that Wendini is their trump card, and will never use it casually! ”

"What's the matter?" asked the Blood Banner Boss, a little irritated.

"Master, have you forgotten that their reinforcements are coming?" Carrie reminded.

Indeed, today a small group of men and horses from the Aolan River came from in a boat. The simple rafts built by the goblins were enough to transport troops from both sides of the strait, but when it came to water warfare, they were far less flexible than warships. Coupled with the suddenness of the incident and the lack of preparation, the ship successfully escaped the entanglement of the goblins, successfully entered the city of Oren, and destroyed a raft by the way.

However, this is only a small reinforcement. It is likely that a religiously hot-headed little nobleman from Shem came with his own private soldiers to fight for his faith. The reinforcement of such dozens of people, if it is said that it is a good material to boost morale, if it is said to increase military strength, it is a joke. So the Blood Banner Boss didn't particularly care about this matter.

"Don't you think that since they're going down the river, they must have discovered your plan to build a raft! In other words, Oren already knows what you're going to do to take the bridge. ”

"I know. The Blood Banner Boss replied.

"They'll be ready ......"

"I'm ready. The Blood Banner Boss replied. He was a little impetuous, but now he has completely calmed down. But there is an inexplicable force to this calm, just as the brief silence before a storm can make people feel flustered.

"Master!" cried Carrie eagerly. "You have to take into account ......"

"Carrie. This time, it was the Blood Banner Boss who spoke calmly, "Didn't you say that Wendini should be their trump card?"

"That's right, but ......"

"They've got their trump cards out. If you think of the war as a gamble, now that the two sides have turned over the last card, it is almost time to decide the winner. The Blood Banner Boss said calmly. "And I've been waiting for this day for too long. ”

This time, Perrin hurried into Carl's room. Carl was still fiddling with that strange machine as he had been yesterday. But now the machine has been covered with a shiny metal monolithic shell. It turned out that the parts, the wires and the pieces of metal, were shrouded in the shell. It's hard to describe this quaint thing with nothing to describe it, it should be said that it resembles a mixture of a large pointed hammer, a cannon model, a rooster tail and a bucket. As Perrin entered, Karl Zhen held the strange thing in his hand through a handle, and a relieved expression appeared on his face.

"What's the matter, Perran?" asked Karl. This time it was not the normal time for a debriefing, but an urgent matter.

"Your Majesty, the spies have sent back information. Although they were attacked by a large group of Skoogers on the way and suffered heavy losses, they did not die in vain. The news is reliable, and Greenskins are building a large number of rafts upstream...... That is, they intend to go down the river on a raft and capture the bridge in one fell swoop, cutting our city in two. ”

"It doesn't matter. Karl replied casually. "It's not a problem, the enemy's goal is only with us, not on the other side. ”

"For what, isn't the goal of the Scarlet Duke to avenge the Queen?" But if the Scarlet Duke wanted revenge, he couldn't have spared the other half of them.

"Because on the other side there are only residential areas, and on this side there is a great temple. Carl replied. The real reason he couldn't tell, the Scarlet Duke's target was ostensibly Oren, but in fact it was the antimatter engine beneath the Grand Temple.

"But it's also dangerous, our walls on that side are weakly defended, and the gate on the side of the bridge can't withstand an attack...... Although the door ......" Perrin didn't say the next word, the door is said to be the creation of the gods of the Star Field, which can nullify any magic, and even became a miracle attraction in the city that everyone knows about. But the defense was magic, and the greenskins could break through the gate if they removed a piece of wood to use as a ram.

"Captain Perran, didn't I say that, don't worry about this, I have a trick!" Karl looked over and over at the finished guy in his hand. It's finally done, and now it only takes a few tests, and this doesn't require anything. "And miracles can happen at any time...... What do you think should be done?"

"I think we should divide up!" Perrin replied. "That gap in the wall is definitely the focus of the Greenskin's attack. Although the soldiers have made a fence at the breach, it will definitely be breached. So I think this position is best guarded by angels. And this side of the bridge...... I propose to concentrate all the artillery and most of the elite troops here. Once the Greenskins have breached the gates, then counterattack with artillery. As for the mages, let them spread out throughout the defense line to prevent the greenskins from some other place using siege machines. ”

"Very good tactics. Carl replied. That was to say, but there was not the slightest hint of approval in his tone. "But Grand Master Perran, your battle plan is too conservative. ”

"Conservative? So your opinion is ......"

"The battle is not about defending the city, it's about destroying the vampire!" Karl replied. "If the vampire escapes, then he can repeat this crisis at any time. And if we can completely eliminate the vampires, even if part of our city is destroyed, it will be worth it. And for Greenskin, as soon as the boss dies, they will immediately collapse the entire army. Do you say?"

"That's right, but ......" Perrin vaguely felt something was wrong, but he couldn't think of anything wrong for a moment.

"Grand Master Perran, what do you think will happen to the deployment of their forces if the Greenskins launch an all-out attack? It stands to reason that the breakthrough point of concentration is the gap first, and the second is the gate on this side of the bridge. At these two breaches, the Scarlet Duke will concentrate his elite troops, and the other sides will also attack, but that will only be a diversion. Are you right?"

"I think so. Perrin replied. Guess that these don't require much intelligence, anyway, the gap in the city wall will definitely be prioritized, and Greenskin has prepared a large number of rafts, which is 100% the idea of building bridges.

"Greenskin has quietly built so many large rafts in places we can't see, and he must have intended to use this trick as a killer move......! Which side do you think the Scarlet Duke would be on if he were going to oversee the battle himself?"

"On the bridge. Perrin replied.

"Oh, why are you so sure?"

"Because Duke Scarlet is a vampire who is good at strategy. The gap is not a good place to war...... If he enters the gap, then it is too dangerous, and he is prone to being attacked by muskets or cannons as he enters, and if he is in the rear, he cannot see the battle inside the walls and react immediately due to the obstruction of the walls. On the contrary, it is much better on the bridge side. The gates are large and not so perfect for street fighting...... He definitely won't miss it. ”

Because he has long known the true identity of the "Blood Flag Boss" of the Green Skin, he is not surprised by the fact that the Green Skin knows the weakness of the city defense. Of course, it's impossible for orcs and goblins to buy human spies, but vampires are a different story. Vampires are very good at dealing with humans and can easily impersonate humans. Not only that, but many dark magicians want to recognize vampires as the main ones in order to go further in the dark arts. So whether it's for money or power, vampires can easily bribe humans to die for him. These spies must have infiltrated the city and even the militia a long time ago, and it is difficult for ordinary people to know their true identities. They use some kind of secret way to keep the information into the hands of the vampires.

Carl briefly described his idea. First of all, the gap in the front wall is randomly arranged for an army to deal with, and the gate on this side of the bridge concentrates all the combat forces. Cannons, elite troops, angels, personally commanded by Karl himself. Target the Blood Banner Boss and slay this dangerous vampire in one fell swoop.

"But, Archbishop, it's too dangerous. Perrin hesitated for a moment, but spoke up after the last moment. "And, I don't think it's worth the risk. ”

"Oh?" Karl's brow furrowed. His elaborate plan was opposed by Perran, much to his displeasure. But he was able to keep his peace.

"The last battle proved that with the current combat power, it will be difficult for us to stop the surprise attack of those behemoths in the Greenskins. Perrin replied. "In this way, I'm afraid that the gap in the wall will be breached by the greenskins. ”

As long as the vampire pretending to be the Greenskin Boss dies, then the Greenskin will immediately scatter. Abandon the battlefield on one side and concentrate the combat power on the other. At the expense of the secondary battlefield, in exchange for the victory of the main battlefield......

"Break it, break it. At most, it's just a temporary walk around the city for the greenskins. Carl replied.

"But before the defeat of the Greenskins, these militias in the city did not have much fighting power...... I'm afraid there will be a huge toll on you...... And his subordinates think that even if they chase vampires, it is better to be on flat ground. The environment of the bridge is actually very beneficial for vampires, because if the situation of the battle is unfavorable and endangers them, the vampires are likely to jump into the water and escape, and it will be difficult for us to pursue them. ”

"No, no, no, my dear Grand Master," Karl shook his head vigorously. "See what I've got on my hand?"

"Is this ......" Perrin asked hesitantly, the question that had actually been lingering in his mind for a long time.

"An artifact...... A gift from the gods. Carl turned over and over at what he was holding. "It will undo the vampire's transformation trick and restore him from his greenskinned appearance to his true form!"
