Just like what the lord said, judging from the current situation.
Although it is still unclear how these two huge opponents will act, it is clear that Kongqing Town, where Lord Lord and Princess Ariel are located, has indeed become the target of this war.
As for the territory that is very close to Kongqing Town, the degree of danger is naturally self-evident. Once discovered by an opponent, it will inevitably be even worse than the former.
And if we forcibly divert the opponent's attention, not only will we expose more of our strength and suffer greater losses, but it will also unknowingly illustrate the importance of the territory, which may be self-defeating.
When our forces are dispersed, the most direct consequence of this is that at most it can only delay the opponent's attack on the territory, but it cannot save the territory from danger.
Therefore, using the Lord's territory as bait is indeed the most suitable plan at present.
Thinking of this in their hearts, all the subordinates looked suddenly enlightened, and looked at Lei Xiao with a little more admiration.
At the critical moment when the soldiers were pressing down on the situation, the Lord, as the commander-in-chief, was still able to maintain such a clear mind. Perhaps this was the greatest reliance of the territory.
Among them, Ariel in particular had a look of reverence on her face.
It has to be said that in the face of a powerful enemy and war is about to break out.
Nothing is more reassuring than seeing a calm and collected leader.
The commanders opposite Ariel also had expressions of uncontrollable admiration.
If they were in this position, they would probably be uneasy.
Although there are currently no fifth-level strong men in the opponent's camp.
However, the overall combat power exceeds that of more than 15 level 5 experts, which is enough to completely make up for this gap.
Furthermore, once the mysterious organization shows up, the advantage of our fifth-level warriors will immediately disappear.
Just thinking about this crisis situation is enough to make people shudder.
Feeling the fiery gazes from his subordinates, Lei Xiao still looked calm and collected.
But this is just a superficial phenomenon.
In Lei Xiao's heart, naturally he was already in a state of anxiety.
At this moment, Lei Xiao, who was panicking in his heart, understood clearly.
Different from the previous fortress offensive and defensive battles, this time, the main battlefield will definitely be around the territory, and there is no room for any negligence.
In other words, there is no room for error.
If you make one wrong move, it is very likely that you will lose everything, and your territory and yourself will be in catastrophe.
You must know that your opponents are not a mob, but high-ranking nobles who have received elite education and stand at the top of power in this region.
That cruel method of rule does not even spare the civilians in his own fiefdom, let alone himself, a lord from another world who is regarded as a heretic?
Therefore, in this life-and-death situation, even a victorious general who has experienced hundreds of battles cannot remain calm.
What's more, before time travel, I was just an ordinary working class person who was running around for a living every day?
"However, once I show a hint of cowardice, it will greatly affect the morale of my subordinates."
"Perhaps this is what a leader must bear alone. The other side of this tension must not be revealed at all."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao, whose palms were already soaked with sweat, began to walk towards the throne at the top again.
After sitting calmly on the throne, Lei Xiao felt that he had relaxed a little, and then focused his stern eyes on the subordinates at the bottom again.
"Everyone, now that the combat policy has been decided, it's time for us to make specific operational arrangements."
Lei Xiao first took a deep breath of the solemn air, and then said: "Before that, let's estimate the fastest time for the opponent to attack."
"At this stage, neither the eldest prince nor the second prince's forces have set out from their bases yet. Since the frontier cities within the sphere of influence of the two opponents are not very far from Kongqing Town, logistical support is a piece of cake."
"The other side can completely ignore the problem of supply lines and abandon the baggage and carry out a rapid march. As a result, the opponent's forward army will arrive at Kongqing Town in a day and a half at most."
"In other words, at the earliest, the war will begin at noon tomorrow."
Lei Xiao's increasingly solemn gaze swept over the subordinates one by one, and said solemnly: "There is not much time left for us to prepare."
After hearing Lei Xiao's words, all the subordinates nodded solemnly.
"As for the specific operational deployment before the war, it is very simple and is mainly divided into two aspects."
Lei Xiao took the tea from the third-level maid who was standing beside him, respectfully handed him the tea, and continued to decorate.
"First, based on the combat policy of adapting to the ever-changing situation with stability, that is, except for the remote Shuiyue City and Fenglong City, each territory must gather the civilians from the villages around the city as soon as possible to ensure that the population is not affected by the war as much as possible.
spread."
"Secondly, from now on, the territory and its various dependencies will all enter the highest alert state, implement a curfew in the city, increase guard posts at least five times, mobilize all reserve forces, and suspend all trade activities."
Lei Xiao pondered for a moment, and then said to the Lord Fanyin who was talking on the other end: "Al, especially you, you must control the goods and materials in the city and stop them from flowing out before the end of the war."
"As ordered, Lord, please rest assured."
Al's calm voice immediately came out: "Earlier today, my subordinates have sent troops to blockade the eight large storage areas and airports in Fanyin City. Merchants can leave the city, but the goods must not leave even a cent."
."
"very good."
After listening to the report from Fanyin City Lord Orr, Lei Xiao first took a sip of the steaming black tea, and then said: "In addition, the same goes for Kongqing Town. With these two commercial hubs under control, our hope of victory will obviously be
Add one point."
"As you command! Lord!"
Lin Sa's angry voice came through her words.
"By the way, between Kongqing Town and the Great Prince's forces, there are two towns separated by Mailan Town and Red Arrow Town. Not to mention the poor Red Arrow Town, the possibility of attack by the other party at this stage is very small, and it is rich in grain.
The town of Mailan may be coveted by the enemy."
Lei Xiao put down the tea cup in his hand and said thoughtfully: "Once Mailan Town is attacked, I will personally lead the main force to support, so there is no need to worry, just increase your alertness normally."
Mailan Town is not far from the territory, which is not difficult for Lei Xiao to achieve.
To take a step back, even if the territory is attacked during this period, reinforcements can be quickly provided.
"As ordered! Thank you very much, Lord Lord!"
Xuan Yue's grateful voice immediately reached Lei Xiao's ears from her words.
"As for when the time comes and soldiers take the initiative to attack, they only need to follow the three basic requirements for combat that I mentioned earlier."
"I will also make appropriate arrangements based on the situation in various places and the real-time dynamics of the war. If necessary, I will also send the main subordinates to support."
After finishing speaking, Lei Xiao picked up the tea cup again and drank the remaining fragrant tea in one gulp.
"My lord, this approach is indeed the most appropriate."
When Lei Xiao finished arranging all the subordinates, Bert's old voice sounded.
I saw this veteran who had experienced many battles, with a wrinkled face, full of excitement and said: "Comprehensive alert before the war is a routine operation for any neutral city. The opponent obviously cannot take advantage of this."
The above found a clue to our hidden strength!"
"Okay, let's talk about the snow wolves and half-elves guarding the territory."
Nodding to the gray-haired old general below, Lei Xiao continued: "Except for the warriors who built the dam, the rest of the Snow Wolf clan, old and young, temporarily moved to the territory. This war is extraordinary and definitely not
The Snow Wolf Clan can compete."
"As you command! Lord!"
The resolute voice of the clan leader Shi Feng was immediately heard.
"As for the half-elves in the barrier, there is no need to make any changes for the time being. As far as I know, except for shamans of special races such as half-orcs and strong men who master forbidden spells, ordinary human beings cannot forcefully break into the barrier.
."
Lei Xiao, who was sitting on the throne, spoke again.
"As you command! Lord."
Kawagu's old and firm voice came out through his words: "Lord, the Yuebai clan is always willing to shed the last drop of blood for your lord and the territory!"
"Lord, the same goes for our Xueyu clan!"
Shi Feng's fighting voice also followed closely behind.
"Understood, I will also fight with you until the moment of victory."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly, stood up from his seat, and encouraged everyone: "Everyone, I believe that the courage of each of us will be gathered into an indestructible sword to give the enemy a fatal blow! Kill the enemy
Buried under your feet!"
"Bury the enemy under your feet! Bury the enemy under your feet!"
A uniform voice sounded, and the subordinates at the bottom and on the other side of the conversation said with fighting spirit.
Next, Lei Xiao first briefly summarized the recent work in the territory.
He also focused on praising Finley, who was responsible for the diversion of the moat, and Rogge and Bai Zhi, who were in charge of trench digging, and other commanders.
At the end of the meeting, Lei Xiao specifically asked Xue Ya and Faxia to continue working on the alchemy potion without any distractions and strive to complete it today.
At this point, it was announced that the meeting was over.
After all the subordinates left, Lei Xiao first came to the equipment warehouse in the territory.
All equipment that had been replaced by two squadrons of magicians, five squadrons of longbowmen, and three squadrons of gunmen that had not been upgraded before were upgraded.
In the end, 50,000 sets of corresponding second-level equipment, 450 sets of third-level equipment, and 50 sets of fourth-level equipment were obtained.
"Not bad."
After all upgrades were completed, Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction.
After that, Lei Xiao first replenished the spare equipment in the warehouse, and then, accompanied by logistics commander Ward, checked the number of arrows.
Currently, there are two types of arrows in the territory. In addition to more than 100,000 ordinary arrows, there are also more than 80,000 magic arrows, which is obviously enough.
In each territory, Lei Xiao has already stepped up the production of arrows, so there is no need to worry.
As for food and other supplies, after careful replenishment all the time, except for the two warehouses, they are already full.
The stock in Lei Xiao's wooden storage box is enough for the current population of the territory to feed the people for more than a hundred years, and there is no need to worry about a penny.
Finally, Lei Xiao left another 1,500 third-level storage rings in the warehouse and ordered Ward to distribute them.
In this way, all direct subordinates in the territory can obviously have one per person, making it easier to quickly change equipment and store personal supplies.
After completing all this, Lei Xiao ordered Li Xia to send the magic potion produced by the Alchemist Guild in Gelin City yesterday directly to Su Ru and Su Mo's territory through private messages and words, and successfully traded it for upgrade.
.
During this process, Lei Xiao also asked about Zhuqi's embankment construction work. After learning that it would be fully completed today, he gathered all the main subordinates in front of the city gate on the west side of the territory.
Accompanied by his subordinates, Lei Xiao first made a round trip to Kongqing Town, and upgraded all the equipment of the two Princess Guards according to the planned plan.
Then he obtained the corresponding 10,000 sets of third-level equipment and 100 sets of fourth-level equipment. He also ordered Ariel to give some encouragement and gave them to the main commanders of the Princess Guards. All of them were equipped with fourth-level equipment to further improve their performance.
loyalty.
"Our destination this time is the Hillfort Fortress."
Beside the grove on the outskirts of Kongqing Town, Lei Xiao looked at the subordinates standing respectfully beside him and said: "In this battle, the importance of the mountain fortress is self-evident."
"Not only is it related to whether Shanjing Principality and our 7,000-strong force can successfully enter the battlefield and then backstab the eldest prince's forces, it is also related to whether the 13,000-person garrison force of the eldest prince and second prince can be restrained from participating in the war.
."
Under the bright sunshine, Lei Xiao nodded to his subordinates and continued: "Therefore, we must communicate properly with Mr. Bai."
"What the lord said is absolutely true."
Ariel, who was wearing a ponytail, took a step forward and bowed: "Judging from the current situation and my subordinates' understanding of General Bai, although it is unlikely that he can be subdued directly, we should still allow him to make concessions.
No problem."
"Then our goal will be achieved."
Lei Xiao smiled faintly, and then said: "Let's go! The target is the mountain fortress!"
After finishing speaking, under Lei Xiao's lead, all the main and subordinate forces turned into phantoms and disappeared in an instant.
In the process of flying at lightning speed, Lei Xiao felt the strong wind blowing in his face while opening the overview interface of the territory and began to check it out.
Under the influence of the Qi Condensing Pill and the Rose Energy Gathering Pill, all the soldiers in the 13 elite squadrons in the territory, except for the peasant squadron, have reached the second level peak.
Following the half-elf squadron, all members of the werewolf warrior squadron have reached the third level.
"My ace squadron is finally born! This will definitely be a trump card in my hand!"
While feeling happy, Lei Xiao continued to think.
"By the way, there is another extremely crucial thing."
