As Moriarty explained in advance, because he had to fully prepare for "Operation North Wind", he could only provide the three Naga brothers with a relatively simple set of equipment for the time being.
Includes: eighteen magic long knives with "+2 hardness effect", three collars of "tungsten steel twisted chain mail", and three "Goat Demon" shaped visors used to cover the face.
Among them, Moriarty applied for the magic sword from the Blue Mage Group. When he learned that the three-headed Naga was willing to become Moriarty's follower, Depra was also surprised, and then felt relieved.
I immediately approved the note to Moriarty without hesitation. As for the tungsten steel twisted chain mail and the goat magic mask, they can only be regarded as ordinary whiteboard equipment, with only basic physical defense and no magical effects. However,
Because of Naga's special body shape, these armors were forged by Moriarty using the alchemy formation and several blacksmiths accompanying the army.
Not to mention, the three Balalaika brothers suddenly looked much more powerful when they wore new equipment.
Especially the pure black tungsten steel wire chain mail paired with the blood red goat demon mask is simply stunning. Coupled with the eight shining magic knives all appearing at once, I'm afraid it's really a bit "
The taste of subduing the enemy without fighting".
As for the Nagas' exchange of shotguns for cannons, Guderian seemed to be a little dissatisfied. People in front of and behind him often spoke ill of the three brothers: What are you asking for glory on your knees? You sold yourself for a few pieces of equipment. You are so short-sighted.
Wait, and so on. As a result, White was accidentally caught as a typical example of "undermining unity" and was punished by going to the camp toilet for three days.
As for the three-headed naga later hearing the "slander" of the silver-bearded dwarf, they just smiled indifferently and ignored it completely. After all, they had already received benefits, which was better than anything else. As for Guderian's mouth, the Balalaika brothers had already known it.
There is really no need to quarrel with an "aunt who cleans toilets" anymore.
Time flies quickly, and the trigger day of Operation Beifeng is coming soon.
In order to effectively cooperate with this significant sabotage activity behind enemy lines, a week before the "Northern Blowing", the Northern Allied Forces launched a series of attacks against the goblin defense lines in the salient with eye-popping bravery. Not only did each
The main army of the city-state was dispatched one after another, and even several great arcanists came on stage to suppress the battle.
Completely a strategic decisive battle posture.
This attack by humans immediately shocked the goblin leaders of the Yugoslav Alliance. Although after continuous fierce battles, the human legion did not take any actual advantage in the continuous battles. But based on the current war situation,
The goblin commanders still came to the prediction that "the human offensive may further escalate." Therefore, in addition to stepping up efforts to consolidate the existing defense lines, the goblin coalition also quickly mobilized the reserve team and other defensive forces located in the southern rear.
Come to the salient as preparation for "fighting a big battle, a tough battle".
Here, we cannot say that there are any obvious mistakes or loopholes in the decision of the Goblin High Command. After all, concentrating our efforts to guard the mountains of La Coruna and dragging down the human legions here is the core combat idea of the Southern Alliance side in this Civil War.
. Therefore, facing NATO’s aggressive attack posture, any prudent commander will make the decision to clench his fists and attack with all his strength.
"Okay. I received intelligence today that within a 500-kilometer radius behind the protrusion, most of the goblin mobile troops have rushed to the protrusion. And what is left is only a small number of stronghold garrison troops. The stage for our activities,
It’s a lot wider all of a sudden.”
The day before boarding the ship and setting off, Moriarty gathered all the middle-level squadrons and held the last combat readiness meeting. At the meeting, Moriarty once again explained and explained the purpose, core and plan details of "Operation North Wind" one by one.
Comment. Then, Chief of Staff Clausewitz handed several pieces of paper recording the battle deduction plan to each company and squad leader, and asked them to write them down immediately and then destroy them on the spot.
"In general, the most difficult part of this operation is not to destroy the airship factories, but how to safely withdraw from the south after the operation is completed. You must know that once we take action, our traces will be exposed, and the goblins will definitely mobilize by then.
Heavy troops came to surround us. Whether we can get back to the seaside within the time limit and board the ship in time will completely determine our life or death." Moriarty said at the end of the meeting.
"But what if those ships abandon us and run away? What should we do?" At this time, Guderian habitually asked without blinking.
"Then swim back." Moriarty smiled slightly: "From the sea, or from the sea of blood."
"Okay, it's just swimming." After being glared at by White, the silver-bearded dwarf smiled innocently, with an irrelevant look on his face.
At midnight, three specially painted pure black three-masted sailboats docked at a secret port fifty kilometers west of Stormwind City. There was a fish port that had been abandoned for more than ten years. It was once very popular.
It prospered for a while, but then fishery resources were rapidly depleted due to overfishing, and it had to be abandoned.
But today, this abandoned port with excellent draft once again welcomed a group of mysterious guests.
"I am the captain of the Pearl, Sudit, you can also call me 'Big Beard'."
In front of the makeshift trestle, an old sailor with a gray beard said hello to Moriarty casually. At the same time, a pair of red eyes quickly scanned the large group of people behind him and the three heads.
The conspicuous Naga's eyes trembled slightly.
"Sir Moriarty, are all these people going to board the ship with you? You know, this place is suitable for a warm farewell ceremony."
At this time, a mid-level mage from the Roma City Mage Group standing next to Captain Sudit sighed jokingly. He will serve as the magic sand table controller on the Pearl, providing early warning and even fire support for maritime navigation.
There is no doubt that compared to the "elite death squads" sent by other city-states, Moriarty undoubtedly brought the most manpower. In fact, except for the less mobile Sword and Shield Company, he brought most of Orin's
Pistus moved out. It was obvious that he was going all out and leaving no room for anything.
"Sir Damon, I will ask you to take care of me from now on."
Without responding to the other party's joke, Moriarty, as a low-level mage, saluted the mid-level professional. Even in this "Operation North Wind", Moriarty's actual power and position exceeded that of the other party.
"Haha, you're welcome, Mr. Moriarty."
Because as the main force of the operation and significantly stronger than the "commandos" of several other small city-states on the same ship, Olympus undoubtedly took the best cabin in the cabin. As for whether others were willing or unwilling
Unconvinced, Moriarty refused to consider it at all. In addition to having full confidence in his own squadron, Moriarty even doubted whether the other suicide squads would survive and return to the north.
When Moriarty and others quickly boarded the Pearl, operational troops from Belous City and Roma City also boarded the other two sailing ships. According to the plan, the "Albatross" sailing ship where Belous City is located will serve as
It is the flagship of this maritime trip and is responsible for the main security duties.
Time passed very quickly, and when the morning star began to shine slightly in the eastern sky, the three sailing ships that had been prepared also raised their sails one by one, followed the outward current, and quietly sailed away from the dock. Soon, just now
The fishing port, which was still brightly lit, suddenly became deserted and deserted, returning to the cold night, no longer showing any sign of life.
"Sir, you can go back to the cabin and take a rest first. I'm afraid we'll have to wait until tomorrow night to reach the southern coast."
On the deck, Sudit controlled the rudder and directed the sailors to adjust the height and angle of the sail. Under the control of this old sailor, the Pearl was like an elf in the night, sailing smoothly across the dark sea.
.
"Thank you, I don't want to sleep just yet." Moriarty stood beside the captain, looking at the ocean ahead.
At this time, it was the deepest night before dawn, and everything seemed to be dyed with a layer of black embers of nothingness, mixed into yiti. Even Moriarty could no longer see clearly the other two ships traveling together, only the sky in the sky
, a few tenacious stars are still spreading weak light tenaciously.
"Are we heading south directly?" Moriarty suddenly asked after looking up at the stars.
"No, the sailboat will first go west, far away from the coastline, and then turn south." As if surprised by the other party's keen sense, Sudit glanced at Moriarty and answered clearly.
"Yes, we must stay as far away from the coast as possible before dawn." Moriarty nodded understandingly.
This arrangement is obviously to avoid being easily discovered by the goblin airship. Unlike the mountainous areas on land, the sea is unobstructed and has an unobstructed view. In addition, the flying height of the goblin airship is as high as a thousand feet. Once the weather is fine and the goblin is willing,
It is entirely possible to monitor large areas of the sea near the coastline with the high platform of airships.
"Sir, do you think this operation can be successful?" After a while, when everything gradually calmed down and most of the sailors retreated below the deck, leaving only the night watchmen, the old sailor suddenly lowered his voice.
It seems that, as the captain of the Pearl, Sudit was also nervous because he was unsure about participating in such a dangerous sabotage activity.
"Of course. Otherwise, why would I take my subordinates to die?" Moriarty glanced at the other party and smiled affirmatively.
Seeing such a quick smile, the old sailor seemed to feel a lot more relaxed. Then he didn't say anything more, but concentrated on controlling the wheel while checking the compass in his hand from time to time to confirm the direction of travel. (Unfinished)
