Shock, confusion, anxiety, and even panic... When the news of the Allied forces' defeat in the Yonville Valley spread like wildfire throughout Bracada, the originally confident fighting mood of the people in the northern city-states was greatly affected.
Although the civil war between the north and the south has begun for more than a few months, the Northern Allies have always been in a proactive offensive, both psychologically and operationally, striving to eliminate the dominance of the reactionary separatists.
status. But what they never expected was that in the true first battle between south and north - the "Battle of the Bulge", the Allied forces were defeated by the goblin coalition forces in the south. Not only did they suffer a large number of soldier casualties
Or be captured, and even an entire mage group was wiped out by the enemy on the battlefield. God knows, there were dozens of distinguished mage professionals, and they were put on the chopping board and cut into pieces like a basket of fruits.
Mo. The sudden loss of so much precious magic combat power not only severely damaged the overall strength of the Allied Forces, but also severely damaged the morale of the northerners. For a while, an army of goblins was about to sweep across the north, and the goblins would be
Unruly rumors spread about the brutal purges carried out by the humans in the north, causing many "people" who didn't know the truth to panic and live in panic all day long.
"Dear Lords of the City, I believe that everyone has understood the overall situation of the 'Battle of the Bulge'. I have to say that this time, those 'green men' did a very 'good' job. They were at a special time
, a special location, gave us a special New Year gift! Now, the Allied forces have less than a thousand troops left in Stormwind City on the front line, and there is a serious lack of magic support. If we cannot replenish the troops and mages as soon as possible
If we go up, then we are very likely to "reap" the second "Stormwind City" defeat after the "bulge". And once we lose Stormwind City, it means that our northern allies will lose the opportunity to march to the south.
The most important forward base." At the emergency magic communication meeting held by the Allied Forces, Crete, the lord of Belus City, spoke first. As the most abundant city-state in the north and also has the largest number of soldiers, Belus City
It plays an important role in the Allied Forces, and Crete himself also has considerable voice and support among the Allied Forces.
"Yes, I completely agree with the opinion of the Lord of Crete. Because of this defeat, there is a low and negative mood among the people, among us, and even in the military system. If we do not pass a plan as soon as possible,
To reverse this situation with a victory will be extremely detrimental to our great cause." The only person who followed Crete in speaking was Angelina, the Lord of Rome. Unlike ordinary human women, Angelina is a four-hundred-year-old woman.
A 20-year-old female half-elf, that is, a half-human, half-elf hybrid. And like Lady Hanquan, Lord Angelina is also a powerful great arcanist, and is known in the North for her strong character.
"However, judging from the information obtained so far, the 'Southern Alliance' has not only successfully used goblin airships in actual combat, but the unexpected participation of the Naga tribe in the war has also sharply increased our war pressure. Therefore, I think that for the above new
Changing factors, we should first come up with countermeasures." Looking at Angelina who looked like an old woman in the magic image, Mrs. Hanquan said slowly. Not long ago, she had received a copy of the "Battle of the Bulge" from Hockenheim.
A military analysis report, and the author of the report is surprisingly Moriarty of the Olympus Squadron. In this short but very intriguing report, Moriarty emphatically mentioned the above two points.
"So, Mrs. Hanquan, do you have any good ideas?" As a great arcanist, Angelina and Mrs. Hanquan have known each other for more than a day or two, and they are actually half-elves and half-descendants. So for Lan
Angelina didn't mind the seemingly rebuttal of the Crystal City Lord.
"Yes. Master Angelina." As she was always called, Mrs. Hanquan bowed slightly to the half-elf's magical image: "I think the first thing we need to consider now is not how to fight to the south, but how to withstand the future.
Possible sneak attack by goblins."
"You mean the goblin airship?" Apparently, Lord Belus had already thought about this threat and asked directly.
"That's right. The Bracada Icefield is vast and is very suitable for the maneuvers of goblin airships. If we don't take measures to effectively curb the goblin's actions, it is very likely that our main force will only arrive at Storm City, while the homeland behind us is already in flames of war.
"Yes." Mrs. Hanquan nodded: "So. I suggest that from now on, all alchemy studios in the Allied Forces start urgently manufacturing gargoyles to use as our air power to deal with the goblin airships."
"Gargoyle? But the alchemy drawings of the real gargoyle have long been lost, and the performance of the magic puppet re-developed by later generations is much worse than the original version." After hearing this suggestion, the city lord of another city-state immediately asked questions.
of.
"Indeed. You are right. The gargoyles we can create cannot be compared to those before the Ice Doomsday. But at least, the targets we want now are only goblin airships that do not have air combat capabilities and have ordinary short-range maneuverability.
I think that when a sufficient number of gargoyle puppets patrol the sky above us, no goblin airship will dare to appear above our heads easily." Mrs. Hanquan smiled slightly and slowly explained.
"Well, this suggestion is very good, I agree." Crete immediately agreed: "If the quality is not good, we will win with quantity. In short, we must suppress the airship navigation of the 'South-Alliance', otherwise the Allies will be too
Passive."
"I agree too." City Lord Angelina nodded and agreed.
"I agree…"
"agree…"
There is no doubt that the other allied commanders also agreed with Azurite City's opinion.
"As for Naga's participation in the war, I think it is nothing more than special promises given to them by the goblins. For example, the division of spheres of influence after the war, or the distribution of spoils, or monetary compensation. But judging from the historical race relations
, it is not easy for Nagas and goblins to coexist peacefully." After talking about the goblin airship, Ms. Hanquan continued.
"You are right. Naga despises the fragile physique of goblins, and goblins also look down on Naga's backward civilization. Therefore, in the past tens of millions of years, the two races have never reached a true alliance." Half-elf Da'ao
The magician fully agrees with the views of the Blue Crystal City Lord. As the longest-living one among the northern city lords, he naturally has the deepest understanding and the most powerful say in the entire political system of Brakada.
"So, I think since it is a promise and win over, what the goblins can do, we humans can also do. Therefore, I hope that the Allied Command will secretly send special personnel to the Naga city-states to negotiate with them. No matter what is promised
The price is good, at least at this stage, we have to convince them not to join the goblin alliance." Ms. Hanquan nodded to the half-elves and said.
"Let me arrange this. Belus City still has some connections in the south, so we should be able to try to make some contact with Naga. As for the formal negotiations in the future, we will focus on the discussion at the joint meeting of the city owners." Ke
Ritter took over the conversation and said.
"I agree."
"I agree."
Soon, the Naga issue also received unanimous approval from the Allied leaders.
Then, the northern city-states formulated a rough production schedule for gargoyle puppets based on their respective alchemical magic abilities. At the same time, as the most powerful cities in the North, Belus, Rome and Azurite will send their military forces as soon as possible.
Sent to Stormwind City to withstand a possible new wave of attacks by the goblins. Other city-states gradually followed suit after improving their city's air defense capabilities.
"So, this is the order issued by the city lord's palace. On next Wednesday, the Azurite Legion will go directly to Stormwind City. The Azure Mage Group will temporarily stay in Azurite City until the first batch of gargoyles is completed in a month.
Let's go." In the camp of Olympus Squadron, Moriarty said to his officers while holding the military order he received from Hockenheim.
"So, we can prepare for one more month in the rear?" As a veteran, White knows very well that having one more day to prepare for war will give him more confidence in battlefield survival.
"To put it simply, it is like this. However, because the main force of the Azurite Legion will leave first, we also need to bear part of the responsibility of guarding the Azurite City for the next month." Moriarty smiled slightly.
"As for the gargoyles, can the squadron apply for some equipment?" At this time, Clausewitz suddenly asked. It seemed that he was still worried about the threat from the goblin airships.
"The city lord's palace should not provide us with a separate share. After all, in addition to the emptying of the city, Blue Crystal City also needs to support or sell some magic puppets to other city-states with weaker alchemical capabilities. This is the highest level in the past.
It has been clarified in the high-level meeting." Moriarty shook his head.
"Hehe, it's a good thing Morty you have your own gargoyle, otherwise if we encounter little green men coming in an airship to attack us, we'll be doomed." Guderian suddenly said with a chuckle.
"Oh? Your studio has already produced a magic puppet?" The old werewolf didn't seem to know the inside story and asked immediately.
"Yes. I will discuss the specific situation with you in detail. But generally speaking, the air release power of our Olympus Squadron should be guaranteed." Nodding, Moriarty said confidently.
"If this is the case, I need to readjust the staff plan." Clausewitz nodded and said loudly.
"Of course, my staff officer." Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
