After a long time, after a long report and summary of the various regiments, the meeting finally entered the next chapter and began to discuss the next battle plan.

“…… In order to secure supplies for the winter and prepare for a protracted war, we need to regain control of the trade lanes east of Ringpeak and use it as a center to reclaim the entire eastern territory. ”

Evelyn stood up, drew a circle on the map to the east of Peak City, and said, "As the defense on the Western Front gradually solidifies, we will devote more combat power to the Eastern Front.

"This time, we will dispatch most of the elite forces of the Knights and Legion to raid the two strongholds of Occult Moon Village and Linfeng Hill as quickly as possible, and it is expected that they will be recovered within two days.

"The main point of this operation is to attack quickly and strongly, and we will gather twice as much combat strength as the enemy, launch a surprise attack on them as quickly as possible, annihilate the enemy before they can react, and seize the initiative on the Eastern Front."

The village of the Moon Cover is on the road between the city of Linfeng and the Linfeng hills, which are the boundary between the La Buse grassland and the Linfeng mountain range.

Coming to the Linfeng Hills, you will arrive at the middle of the Roland Empire by following the mountain road over the Linfeng Mountains, which is rich in products and has sufficient troops, which can provide a steady stream of various assistance to Linfeng City.

Therefore, as long as he can ensure that the most critical trade route of "Linfeng City→ Occult Moon Village→ Linfeng Hills→ Linfeng Mountain Range, → the middle of the empire" is in his hands.

Peak City will be invincible in the protracted war against the steppe people.

Because of the agreement with the second prince Roderick, the steppe people did not invade the Linfeng Mountain range area outside the Lebs grassland, and only set up an interception force on the Linfeng Hill on the border between the Moon Occult Village and the grassland.

Therefore, as long as you recover the Moon Shelter Village and the Linfeng Hills, you can bring this trade route back under your control.

Knowing the strategic value of these two locations, everyone present had no objection to the battle, and the next thing they had to discuss was the specific battle plan for the battle.

Because the Eastern Front is the main battlefield between Linfeng City and the Prairie People, the battle here is mainly handled by the most elite Linfeng Knights in the army.

Except for the head of the regiment, Lane, the Peak Knights have a total of 9 seventh-order knights, 105 sixth-order knights, 11 sixth-order mages, and the remaining fifth-order knights and mages have a total of 375 people, with a total of 500 people.

The 500 men were divided into ten teams, the first team was led by the regimental commander Ryan, and the second to tenth teams were each led by a seventh-order knight.

Although these five hundred people seem to be small, their number is only a fraction of that of the 2W5 army, but they are all composed of the top powerful transcendents, and the treatment and equipment are also the best.

Each person pulled out individually has the strength to lead a squad in the legion and the city guard corps.

In comparison, the Linfeng Legion has a total of 2w people, but the high-level combat power is even less, there are only 2 seventh-order knights, 40 sixth-order knights, and no sixth-order mages.

Not to mention the city guard corps, they are mainly responsible for the security of the city, and their combat power is even stronger.

Therefore, there is no doubt that the Knights, as the main force of the main force of the Linfeng army, every movement of its personnel is crucial.

Now, according to the intelligence of the scouts, the steppe troops entrenched in these two strongholds have a total of about 3 seventh-order knights and more than 40 sixth-order knights.

The generals of the Legion and the City Guard were relatively conservative, believing that sending five squads of the Knights with the support of the Legion would be enough to take these two strongholds.

The five squads are 5 seventh-order knights, compared to the enemy's 3 seventh-order knights, this has formed a multiplier in the number of high-level combat power, and there is almost no suspense about winning.

The generals of the Knights believed that the Knights should mobilize all the living forces to participate in the battle as much as possible, so as to ensure that they could take two strongholds in two days and catch the steppe people by surprise.

They advocated that the Order should send seven or more squads into battle.

Because these two strongholds are extremely important, once attacked, the steppe people will definitely send a large number of elite troops to support.

In order to ensure the numerical superiority of your own high-level combat power, a saturation attack is very necessary.

IN NOLAN'S WORDS, THIS TACTIC IS CALLED ALL IN.

Sure enough, someone else in the room questioned:

What if the Knights transferred most of their combat strength to the front line, and the garrison in the city was empty, what if the steppes took advantage of it?

The Knights' generals immediately retorted: if the number of troops allocated was small, it might not be possible to speed through the two strongholds, and if the steppe reinforcements arrived, the quick attack would fail.

To fight a war is to have an indomitable momentum, and the more we look ahead and look backwards, the more likely we are to lose everything if both sides are not pleased.

On the side, Nolan silently listened to the argument between the two factions for a while, and gradually understood everything.

How many Knights should be allocated for this battle was the focus of this battle meeting.

He tapped his finger lightly on the tabletop, motioned Evelyn to turn her head away, and whispered in her ear:

"With the help of the White Raven, the Knights only need to dispatch five teams of combat strength, and they are guaranteed to be able to end the battle in two days."

"Are you sure?" Evelyn was slightly taken aback.

In fact, she and Ryan had discussed it privately before the meeting.

These two strongholds were so important to Peak City that the original plan of the military was to abandon the western front rather than hold the eastern front and secure the trade routes in the rear.

For this, it is worth betting even on the majority of the Order's forces.

If nothing else, once the battle begins, the City Lord's Mansion will order at least seven squads of the Knights to go to the eastern front to ensure victory in the battle.

But now with the addition of the White Raven, things seem to be a little different again?

"The combat power of the five squads is enough, and the Knights are worried about nothing more than the fear of more steppe reinforcements, after all, no one knows how many people they will send to support these two strongholds."

Nolan looked at the map and muttered, "But now that you have a white raven, you don't have to worry about that.

"Not only can she help the Knights observe the defenses of enemy strongholds from the sky, making it easier for them to breach strongholds, but she can also help them detect when enemy reinforcements are arriving from a long distance.

"If there are a large number of enemy reinforcements rushing to support, the White Raven will immediately notify the people of the Knights to evacuate, I believe that with the speed of the White Raven's alarm and the mobility of the elites of the Knights, it will be easy to retreat."

With the firepower of the first plane, it may still be weak on the frontal battlefield where the main forces of the two armies are fighting.

However, the advantages of gaining air supremacy are unique, and one of them is the ability to gather as much battlefield information as possible in the unobstructed grassland.

With this accurate battlefield information, the Knights will become the true masters of the grasslands, allowing them to surprise the enemy's weakest defensive flanks and flee before enemy reinforcements arrive.

Back then, he taught the Linfeng army the miserable guerrilla tactics, and this time he also wanted to let the grassland people taste it.

Having seen the White Raven's brilliant results these days, Evelyn didn't doubt what Nolan said.

In fact, this door-to-door request for cooperation is also with the intention of letting Bai Raven be in charge of the investigation.

Although there are eleven high-level mages in the Knights, it is a pity that none of them are high-level wind mages.

Ordinary wind mages are embarrassed: their own mana reserves are not enough to support them to fly for long periods of time, and their mobility is not high, and if they accidentally get too close, they can easily be used as a moving target by enemy troops.

If the White Raven can make up for the Knights' shortcomings in this regard, it will be tantamount to a charcoal in the snow.

Thinking of this, Evelyn nodded quietly, and instead leaned over to the other side to whisper a few words to Ryan.

Until the end, at the end of the meeting, Evelyn announced that the operation would be carried out in two days, and the specific list of participants and the combat responsibilities of each team would be distributed to each general in the form of a confidential letter on the day of the battle.

As for why the combat mission was issued in the form of a secret letter this time, everyone knew each other tacitly.

In this combat meeting, there are people who are the internal response of the steppe people.

Even if it can't hide the movement of the army in the end, at least it will make the steppe people more suspicious, and teach them not to know how many troops the Linfeng army has invested in this battle.

Or ...... Is this a feint?

A conspiracy to find out the ghosts in the army?

Now, the pressure is on the inner ghost's side.

……

After the meeting was dismissed, Reiner, together with Marko, the commander of the Prime, rode back to the garrison of the city in a carriage.

On the carriage, Reiner looked at the scenery outside the window, and suddenly sighed and said, "Lord Evelyn suddenly changed the form of issuing orders, and sure enough, she thinks that there are traitors among us." ”

Marco knew Reiner's background, he was a hybrid of Roland and Prairie people, originally had excellent talent, and at the age of only twenty-four, he became a sixth-order knight and became the deputy head of the Linfeng Legion.

However, after the outbreak of the war, the people in the city began to have opinions and discrimination against the half-bloods, and even Reiner had the experience of being secretly pointed at, afraid that someone would say bad things like "he is a spy" behind his back.

And now, not only the general public and soldiers, but even Evelyn kept the battle mission a secret, making it clear that she was beginning to distrust the generals who participated in the meeting.

Among them, Reiner, who is one of the half-bloods, is naturally listed as the focus of suspicion, and it is understandable that he has a little emotion.

Marco reassured: "The stakes are high in this battle, so it's better to be cautious. Whether there are traitors or not, anyway, you and I have a clear conscience, and that's enough, our loyalty to the empire will stand the test of time. ”

"Indeed." Reiner nodded firmly, "Our loyalty will stand the test of time. ”

"Not bad." Marco patted him on the shoulder hard, "You were brought up by me, so I naturally trust your loyalty."

"Behave well in this war, strive to make more contributions, and when our old fellows abdicate, you will be the first successor to the head of the legion."

"I'll try."

The carriage marched to the garrison of the garrison, and Reiner said goodbye to Marko, the commander of the legion, and climbed the walls of Primepeak.

He walked around the walls as usual, then stopped slightly beside one of the soldiers on duty, and whispered a few words in the language of La Buse in the gap where no one noticed him.

After that, the sound of his footsteps on his military boots faded away.

The steady, rhythmic tapping and tapping footsteps were as loyal as he had remained in more than twenty years.
