"Everyone, now that we have decided on the next course of action, let's continue to refine some defensive measures."
Seeing that the atmosphere in the command hall had improved, Lei Xiao stood up from his seat, walked towards the magic sand table, and said again.
Hearing the sound, everyone followed him one after another without any slack.
As we all know, the Fluorescent Rift spans the entire plate and the defense line is extremely long.
Even though the elves have built more than a dozen large and small fortresses on our side, and soldiers have been stationed one after another, it is undoubtedly a drop in the bucket for such a narrow area.
After all, in terms of length, this is equivalent to the distance from the Kingdom of Grim on the west side of the human border to the Canlan Federation on the other side. The total number of cities and villages in the straight line distance alone is probably hundreds or even thousands.
Already.
"Your Majesty the Elf, please first introduce the situation of these fortresses."
Lei Xiao handed the baton to Broy, indicating that he should speak first.
"I understand, please take a look."
Broy stood on a special bench and pointed his baton to the south of a giant crack on the magic sand table, which was the epitome of the Fluorescent Rift.
"You must have realized that for such a long defense line, even hundreds of fortresses, let alone a dozen or so, can only play a very limited role."
Broy's baton slowly moved around the edge of the giant valley on our side of the magic sand table, and said: "Back then, the ancestors of the dwarves were aware of this problem, so our fortresses were built on the most
Important passes are also where opponents are most likely to march."
Broy said this, and finally pointed the baton at a small square in the west, which was one of the dwarf fortresses, and the voice sounded again.
"For example, the area where this Watcher's Fort is located is one of the narrowest in the entire giant valley. If the opponent wants to cross from this area, this is undoubtedly the best choice."
"Furthermore, the mountains here are continuous, and there is only one pass on our side that can be passed quickly, and that is where the Watcher's Fort is..."
Listening to the detailed description of the dwarf king, Lei Xiao's eyes wandered back and forth on both sides of the giant valley, and he nodded thoughtfully.
Just like what the other party said, there are a total of eighteen fortresses built by the dwarves. Each one is indeed very organized, taking into full consideration the surrounding topography, and is either built on a pass or on a river.
side.
There is even one standing directly on the top of a gentle mountain, equipped with a large number of attack magic towers, which can guard multiple surrounding arteries at the same time.
It can be seen that although the number of dwarf fortresses is relatively limited, and they are mainly distributed in the western and middle sections of the giant valley where the dwarfs' sphere of influence is, they can indeed play a defensive and warning role to the maximum extent, which will greatly stabilize the situation.
Our line of defense.
With these thoughts in mind, the tense atmosphere in the command hall eased a little.
"The wisdom of the elves is admirable."
After listening carefully to Broy's description, Shult's old wood-carved face burst into praise, and then he shook his head and said: "It's a pity that the tree people relied on the natural dangers of the vast forest and did not build any fortresses in the giant valley.
Otherwise our defense lines can be connected together."
"That's right, the same is true for us wood fairies. The secret realm of the Peak Forest is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so we didn't take these matters into consideration."
Christie lowered her eyebrows and nodded.
Listening to everyone's words, Lei Xiao looked like he was contemplating.
At this stage, it is not difficult to quickly build ten or even a hundred large fortresses with the resources and architectural blueprints at your disposal.
But the problem is that the hastily built fortress does not have corresponding supporting measures such as defensive arrays. Even the magic tower built from the architectural blueprint needs to lay a specific type of array instead of being put into use immediately. This is a waste of manpower.
A place with time cannot be accomplished in a day.
These newly built fortresses might be able to play a considerable role if deployed in human territory, but facing the tyrannical foreign forces, they would undoubtedly be somewhat stretched.
In other words, rather than temporarily building a fortress, which greatly consumes and distracts our manpower and material resources, it is more efficient to integrate the current resources to the maximum extent.
Thinking of this in his mind, Lei Xiao immediately said: "Everyone, now is not the time to reminisce about the past."
"His Majesty the Elf just said that even if we have a hundred well-equipped fortresses, we can't be impregnable, so we just need to base ourselves on the present. Don't forget that there is this ice stone city that can appear at any time.
Anywhere.”
"In addition, our old friend managers can also use the cinephile market to monitor our opponents' movements. This will be a second insurance measure."
After hearing Lei Xiao's words, everyone felt a lot calmer and breathed a sigh of relief.
After that, Lei Xiao confirmed the current deployment of troops in the major fortresses.
Among these eighteen fortresses, the smallest number of tree people were stationed in three, and a total of one fourth-level legion and two third-level legions were deployed. This was already the entire effective strength of the tree people after the battle of Dragon's Lair.
The Wood Fairy has stationed six buildings, deploying a total of 10 third-level legions.
The host dwarves have stationed themselves in the last nine, deploying a total of 10 third-level legions and 5 quasi-third-level legions. Of course, the combat power of the dwarfs mainly refers to the alchemy puppets equipped by each legion.
As for the human army commanded by Lei Xiao, it is naturally a carefully selected army of one million people and 30 original legions from Ice Stone City, all of which are stationed in Ice Stone City as a mobile force.
Due to the current limited strength of the human race, the total number of all third-level and above powerhouses is less than 15 legions, and the truly organized third-level legions only have two magician legions.
"Sorry, Your Majesty, the human race, the dwarves still have a large number of damaged alchemy puppets that have not been repaired. Especially in the previous battle in the dragon's lair, the alchemy puppets of level four and above were seriously damaged, otherwise the combat power that can be produced will not be more than this."
Broy sighed helplessly, and then said with excitement: "However, fortunately, His Majesty the Human Race has provided a large amount of necessary materials to repair the alchemy puppets. It is only a matter of time before they can be repaired again. As for the other injured soldiers,
With the timely treatment provided by His Majesty the Human Race with a large number of magic potions and magic scrolls, he will soon be able to regain his fighting strength."
After Broy said this, Shuert and Chris also nodded. Fortunately, Lei Xiao provided a large number of magic scrolls and potions, otherwise the casualties in the battle at the dragon's lair would have been even greater.
"This is all the result of your joint efforts. I hope we can still survive this possible crisis smoothly."
Lei Xiao smiled slightly at first, then brought the topic back to the present, and continued: "As for what we can do, apart from reactivating these fortresses, there is one more important thing."
