At six o'clock in the morning, Victoria and others arrived at the small square to report on time. When they saw with their own eyes the "prosperous" lineup of Olympus, the three of them were all very surprised. At the same time, their confidence in the counterattack against Rheinburg was greatly increased.
"lets go."
After saying a brief farewell to Baron Ensberg and other nobles who came to see him off, Moriarty ordered the airship to take off. Then, after the port door was closed, the Dayun slowly took off under the rising sun.
"Today's weather is good. The sun will be very good, which will be conducive to combat." Watching the airship flying higher and higher overhead, Old Rosser said in a deep voice with satisfaction.
"Lord, do you think Morty can succeed?" Military affairs is the baron's shortcoming, and he can't help but feel a little unsure.
"It should be no problem." On the contrary, Lord Rosser seemed confident: "The three-headed Naga is a high-level powerhouse in Brakada. Even if he faces the Fire Sultan, he can still fight! Not to mention the other middle-class warriors.
level warriors, and Morty himself is already an intermediate level mage. I think that as long as no big demon appears, the recovery of Rheinburg is unstoppable."
"I also agree with your Lordship's view." Hamilton on the side couldn't help but said.
As an eighth-level warrior and a half-step high-level human expert, his "feelings" for the three Naga brothers are far deeper than ordinary people. The terrifying fighting aura that seemed to be mixed with the violence of a blizzard, just looked at each other, and then
It has chilled people physically and mentally. Of course, this does not mean that Hamilton will be afraid of Naga. Even if it is a one-on-one battle, Lionheart has enough confidence to be invincible. But if it is one-on-three...
"Well, that's good." Baron Ensberg said no more. He nodded slightly and watched the big clouds gradually disappear into the far end of the sky.
On the airship at the same time, Clausewitz was making final battle arrangements for each department.
This time the siege battle will be carried out by the Dayun directly airdropping into Rheinburg, which can be described as a typical "center-center blooming" tactics. Therefore, the suddenness of the launch of the battle, the rapidity of the breakthrough action, and the blocking of enemy reinforcements
The determination will be the key to determine the final outcome. The seamless connection and effective cooperation of each company is the prerequisite for everything. In this regard, even Guderian, who usually seems to be the most unreliable, is extremely honest.
Make a solemn promise to complete the task without showing any joking attitude.
"Then, please convey the instructions to your team members respectively!" Moriarty looked around at everyone for a week. Finally, he nodded and said: "This battle is codenamed 'Aurora'. You guys, win the battle!"
"Yes, Your Excellency! Wan Sheng!"
Everyone gave a military salute and strode out of the captain's cabin.
"Your mission is to serve as a strategic reserve. Staff Officer Clausewitz is responsible for issuing combat orders." Turning around, Moriarty smiled and said to Victoria and the other three who had not been greeted.
"Yes, Your Excellency!"
The three mid-level warriors also immediately loudly agreed. To be honest, it was their first time to participate in such a formal combat meeting, and it was also their first time to join forces with so many warriors of different races. They even included former enemies Behemoth warriors.
.So it’s inevitable that I feel weird.
"Staff officer, are there any abnormalities found on the magic sand table?" After Victoria and others were asked to go to the middle deck to rest and prepare for battle, Moriarty came to the old werewolf.
"No. The situation seems good. We haven't found any strong men like the Fire Sultan or the Great Demon yet." The old werewolf stared at every inconspicuous magical light flashing on the sand table, as if he was watching a real demon.
The army is average.
"Old Crow, what do you think our chances of winning are?" Moriarty also looked at the magic sand table. After a while, he suddenly asked.
"The question now is not whether we can capture Rheinburg, but how to hold it in the future." The old werewolf turned his head and glanced at the other party.
"oh?"
"As the southeastern auxiliary fortress of Erathia, I observed it carefully from the air when I came here. It is indeed a first-class large fortress."
"It is not good?".
"But the problem is that Rheinburg is too big. It is not difficult to win a battle with the strength of Olympus, but to truly stabilize it, the strength of just one brigade is not enough. We need more grassroots fighters.
Only with more troops, at least three times the current size, can we ensure the strategic initiative of advancing and attacking and retreating and defending in the future." Clausewitz said solemnly.
"Three times? You mean, our strength needs to be more than 500?" Moriarty frowned, seeming a little surprised by the old werewolf's "big mouth".
"Yes, at least five hundred soldiers, and they need to be low-level warriors of level one or above." Clausewitz said without hesitation.
"But in this case, our territorial citizens need to be at least five thousand, otherwise we will never be able to support such a large-scale combat force."
No matter in any era, the ratio of one to ten soldiers and civilians can be regarded as a typical militaristic tyrant. In Moriarty's mind, even twenty civilians supporting one sergeant is already a very difficult task. But more importantly,
, he couldn't even find 5,000 civilians to serve as tenant farmers for him, and even if Baron Ensberg "supported" the total population, it would not exceed 800 people.
"Refugees! Your Excellency, refugees will be the cheapest manpower. As long as we can initially stabilize Rheinburg and then send troops to search for refugees, we can get a large number of free semi-serfs. Not only can we arrange for them to produce labor, but they can also be used as
The basis for future military resources. As for food in the short term, I think there should be enough reserves in Fort Yate, and your father will not be stingy in supporting you."
It seemed that the old werewolf had already prepared a plan and started talking about it immediately. However, his plan was clearly a replica of the "serf-slave strategy" used by Krolod when he invaded the human kingdom. During the Second Punic War, Beamon
This method was used to capture human civilians as slaves in Erathia to grow food and produce military supplies for the orc army, so as to support the war with war and defeat the enemy with food. However, now Clausewitz
The unjust act of "capturing young men" was packaged into a righteous act of "rescuing those in distress", making him a master of "arch-building".
"At the same time, I think there will be some poor people who have nowhere to stay and are hungry and cold in the castles of the other two viscounts. We can also 'accommodate' them together. Naturally, if a larger-scale 'Sifang' can be achieved,
As for the alliance, the viscounts as allies should also provide some material support." Seeing that Moriarty was still thinking, Clausewitz further suggested.
"It seems that you have already made up your mind?" Moriarty glanced at the old werewolf and suddenly smiled.
"Your Excellency, now that the war has begun, it will not be easily moved by one's will. It is imperative to expand troops, prepare for war, and gather population and land!" Clausewitz looked at the opponent without giving in, his eyes filled with emotion. firm.
"Okay, I agree with what you said, and we will implement it after we capture Rheinburg."
In the end, Moriarty agreed to the staff officer's plan. Although the process may not be entirely just, it was correct enough.
At noon, the Big Cloud flew over Rheinburg on time. At this time, the weather was clear and the direct sunlight was strong. There were not even demons visible in the open space around the castle. They seemed to have hid in the shade to escape the sun.
"Operation Aurora begins!"
Looking at the few little devils on the ground who were alerted by the airship and ran out to check, Moriarty waved the wand in his hand and formally issued a combat order.
As a result, the Dayun began to slowly descend in height, and its vertical shadow fell just inside the gate of Rheinburg.
One hundred and fifty meters...one hundred meters...seventy meters...
As the huge airship slowly landed, the demons in the castle finally woke up and leaned out from various houses.
"Enemy! Enemy!"
When they saw the shadow of the airship above their heads clearly, the Horned Devil officers realized that something was wrong, and immediately roared, and the harsh roar spread throughout the castle.
Soon, a large group of Gog demons, led by an elite leader, rushed up the city wall, preparing to condense fireballs to shoot down the sudden airship. However, before they could take action, more than ten crystal red shadows were as arrogant as the wind. The two sides of the Cloud Horn flew down. Then, there was only a "buzzing" sound like a buzzing sound, and the rain of arrows was already falling towards the Gog Demon.
"Boom!"
In the blink of an eye, one after another, violent fire clouds exploded on the top of the city of Rheinburg. The hot shock wave swept across the entire city in an instant, and dozens of Gog demons didn't even have time to scream. All were torn into pieces of flesh and blood.
"ah!"
Seeing that their subordinates were wiped out by a group of enemies who appeared inexplicably after just one encounter, the horned demons couldn't help roaring angrily. And this roar was like the most severe war horn, and many little demons immediately rushed out from all corners, howling. He rushed towards the airship, which was already less than thirty meters away from the ground, and waited for the opponent to land before rushing towards it. At the same time, countless demons, including Gog demons and greedy hell hounds, came from the forest far outside the castle. Come for reinforcements.
"Ha, you devil bastards, go to hell!"
When the Dayun finally descended to a height of only ten meters from the Rheinburg City Gate, three huge figures suddenly jumped from the airship and smashed into the group of little devils below like meteorites falling to the ground. Immediately afterwards, three groups of The whirlwind composed of sword blades was like a meat grinder, setting off a terrifying red storm among the little devils. Countless little devils were turned into dripping fragments and even a shapeless mass of blood and mud in this bloody storm.
In just one minute, the group of little devils who had been fighting fiercely just now collapsed. Those seemingly heartless little devils acted like cowards at this moment, either standing still in fear, or running away screaming in terror. Even though the horned devil officers were killing "deserters" one after another, they still couldn't stop them from disintegrating.
And in the center of the field soaked in blood, the three-headed Naga stood proudly, with fierceness and coldness in his eyes. (To be continued...)
