Now, the Blood Banner Boss kind of understands Thomas's feelings. He was unclear about Thomas's early life, and those diaries contained many inconsistencies, jumbled, and even extreme thoughts (although Thomas slowly rejects some of his earlier ideas in his later years). But there is no doubt that Thomas's reputation as "undefeated" must have had a lot to do with the Sam, at least in the early days. With such an excellent spy, the contents of the enemy's confidential meeting can be heard in three days, and victory is simply within reach.

The Blood Banner Boss stared at the map in his hand, things were not as simple as he thought. This map and this troop deployment show that Oren City is definitely on guard, and it is not as easy to deal with as expected.

This battle is not easy to fight...... The walls of Oran are strong enough. Even if the catapult smashed it, it is estimated that it will be able to destroy the battlements to the extent that it will definitely not hurt the city wall itself. Not to mention that the catapults had been destroyed by the defenders - the Blood Banner Boss still didn't understand why the defenders were going to risk out of the city and destroy the catapults that were clearly ineffective. Probably because they were worried that catapults would throw dangerous goods such as fire oil into the city. But the Greenskins don't have that kind of thing. Goblins can't even find stones of the same size.

The Blood Banner Boss's gaze wandered over the map, and suddenly a place caught his attention.

It was a corner of the city, neither a threatening salient nor a vulnerable location. But there are a lot of troops concentrated here. According to Mimilu's description, there are actually street fighting fortifications set up in this place. It's as if the defenders are ready for a street fight. What's even more strange is that this place is still stepping up preparations for more fortifications.

What is this for? Did they expect the Blood Banner Boss to launch the main attack here? And it was not an ordinary attack, this kind of arrangement...... It's as if invaders would break through the walls and storm the city here, so the trenches, fences, and cannons will form a powerful trap.

The problem is that if the walls are really broken here, then the attackers can rush forward desperately, no matter what muskets, shotguns, magic, and no matter what you do, you can still use your superior forces to break all the traps and completely overwhelm the opponent.

Because no matter what trap you are, it's better to deal with than the towering walls. With the cover of the city walls, even militia members who have never been on the battlefield can pose a certain threat. In particular, the musket is actually an extremely easy weapon to use if you have actually fired a gun or two in relative safety – you will get used to it as soon as you have actually fired a gun or two. And the use of muskets at the head of the city is far less frightening than hand-to-hand combat. For example, today's team of musketeers, the first wave of musketeers fired too early, and then the reload speed was very slow, but if the offensive continued, then they would also inflict heavy casualties on the besieging side. Not to mention the quantitative aspect...... The militia is not of high quality, but the numerical superiority is sometimes more than enough to offset the disadvantage.

I don't understand it at all. The Blood Banner Boss shook his head. What did the defenders do to destroy the catapults at any cost?What did this area have so much defense in place?Maybe there was something in it...... Maybe try it?

It's okay, try it tomorrow. He had long known that this city was not easy to fight, and even Thomas would make such an exclamation when he came to command. Fortunately, he still has a little capital, and that is time. He finally had plenty of time to prepare for the siege. At least in theory.

The boss of the blood flag can't be sure whether his plan to "surround the first half of the year" is reliable or not. Not to mention when the enemy's reinforcements will arrive, it is a big question how long his militant and impatient men will keep their fighting spirits high.

"Master, the time is up. In her mind, Carrie reminded.

In the past, the Blood Banner Boss chose to leave the camp in the middle of the night to find a place to spend these three hours, but now it is not possible. In the event of a night attack by the defenders, there is a high chance that the greenskins will collapse without a boss.

"Mimilu, let's go. The Blood Banner Boss packed up his personal belongings and left his leader's tent. His chariot was waiting for him outside, and two large boars were humming on their tethers.

"I'm going to take a look!" the Blood Banner Boss roared, jumped into the chariot, and galloped off into the distance. Anyway, the boss's words are the highest order, and no kid can question it.

......

"Master, this is it. Carrie reminded.

The Blood Banner Boss jumps out of the chariot. It's quite far from the Greenskins camp, and there are no sporadic Greenskins nearby. Only two wild boars snorted. But with the boar's IQ, it is impossible to understand why the Bloodflag Boss is a green-skinned orc when he gets on the bus, and when he jumps out of the car, he becomes a different creature, and he only restlessly digs the earth there with his hooves.

From the stone remains on the ground, it can be seen that this was once an arch made of stone. A few days ago, Ashrufat had a team of men come down and tear down the arch here, following Carrie's warning, so now only countless rubble remains.

"Master, keep an eye on this stone. Carrie guided Ashrufat to a rock. Now even Ashrufat could see that the stone was not simple. It's not actually a stone, but something that looks like a stone. It has very small, fine lines on it, and it seems to have been depicted with some kind of magical pattern.

Of course, the orcs in charge of the demolition were not so careful. They just knocked down the stone arch at random, broke it and left, not noticing the subtle details.

"What is this? And, Carrie, why do you want me to destroy this?"

"Master, the last time we were passing by, I noticed that something was wrong with this thing. Now I'm more sure that this is a spatial waypoint. ”

"Spatial waypoints?"

"Well, an anchor point for teleportation over long distances. Master, I'm afraid this means something very serious. ”

"What's important?" Hearing what Carrie said, Ashrufat found himself feeling nervous, even though he didn't actually understand what "spatial teleportation point" and "anchor point" meant. You must know that Carrie will always come up with some words that he has never heard of, but he never gives an explanation of the nouns. For example, what "cell", "anchor", "chip" and so on.

"Normally, they wouldn't set up this kind of anchor. The presence of this anchor in the city of Orren means that this place needs to be transported by people and materials. ”

"Carrie, who are you talking about 'they'?

"Yes, master. You see...... The one over there, please pick it up. Carrie's voice suddenly became nervous. Ashruphat took up the stone that was not a stone. The fragment has a distinct dimple in it that seems to be embedded in something.

"This is the master control bit...... But the control chip is not there. Without the control chip, the anchor cannot be used...... Master, according to my calculations...... It's likely that one of the gods of the Star Field is hiding in Oren!"

"God, they're hiding in the city?"

"They're actually just like you, and of course they can hide among humans. I remember telling you that the gods of the starfields are not gods in the general sense...... They are real flesh and blood...... Just like you, just like Kotoshin-sama. It's just that because they have power and knowledge far beyond the level of mortals in this world, they call themselves gods. ”

"Don't talk nonsense, Carrie, tell me what it means!

"I'm sorry, master, it's bad news...... "Carrie said in a pitiful voice. "This shows that their reinforcements are ready to come at any time. They can get here directly from afar through this anchor point, beyond the limits of distance. ”

"This ...... The thing has been destroyed. "The orcs have destroyed it quite completely, and although Ashrufat doesn't understand it, this arch has been broken into a pile of pieces, and whatever it used to do, it must have been scrapped by now.

"But there may be more than that. Carrie replied. "And if there is one of them in the city, then they are likely to ...... Save ...... at all costs. Master, as the war drags on, the risk increases beyond control. ”

"According to my calculations. "I suggest you end the fight in fifteen days, at least not for a month." Otherwise, the consequences will be unpredictable. ”

"What kind of unpredictability will it be?" asked Ashruphat rhetorically. "Conjure up an army to raid me?"

"I don't think it's as simple as an army...... Do you remember the battle under Drake, that one-dimensional energy attack...... They're probably going to come up with that kind of thing!"

"And there won't be just one!"

Ashrufat was stunned, standing there, holding the fragment in his hand, and did not react for a long time.

"Master?" asked Carrie tentatively in her head.

"Carrie, what is this...... "Eshurufat" Ashrufat finally roared in anger after the second half of his sentence. "I don't even have siege machinery right now...... Let me conquer the city in a month! Can you and I just turn the city walls into nothing?!

"Sorry host...... There's no way around it...... I can only follow the predetermined scheme...... This kind of thing is beyond expectations, and it is definitely an uncontrollable accident......" In her head, Carrie replied in a very small voice aggrieved.

"Master?" Mimilu noticed Ashrufat's movements. When Ashrufat was studying the fragments just now, she stayed by the side, looking at the ruins curiously. "What's going on? Who are you talking to?"

"No, I didn't. Ashrufat did his best to calm his agitation. He touched his mouth, this time it was better, although he was excited, but the canine teeth did not protrude. That's a step forward.

"Master, you just said ...... Conquer the city in a month?

"Don't mind, I'm just shouting. Ashrufat replied. What to do? Attack such a well-defended city...... How is it possible in a month? Even if the bridge is captured smoothly, it is impossible.

"But master, if you want to make the city wall disappear, there is a suitable location on Mimilu Zhilu Road. Mimilu said seriously. "The walls there are thin. Mimilu was able to reach both ends of the city wall by lying on it. ”

"What?" Ashruphat suddenly realized what Mimilu was talking about. Indeed, put Mimilu's words together with a few things he didn't understand before, and then the answer is about to come out.
