In the soul space, Todd is discussing with Rachel the details of the battle north.
Rachel looked at the northern map on the screen and raised her own question: "The first question is reconnaissance. Since it is a long-distance raid and a large-scale military operation, whether it is a fleet sailing or an army
Marching requires real-time understanding of the enemy's movements. So when it comes to reconnaissance troops, we need to prepare a few fast boats and organize some scouts..."
Todd shook his head: "That's not necessary, I have a better choice. Do you remember those griffins?"
"Griffin?"
"They are in the sky and can serve as the best scouts. And I can get the latest information from them at any time through the power of soul link."
After thinking about it for a while, Rachel confirmed this idea: "Then, here comes the second question, what are you going to do about the deployment of troops?"
"I have already told the Twilight City Cabinet that Brunhilde will lead the North Island Knights to participate in this battle."
Rachel raised her head and looked at Todd: "Brünnhilde? The Valkyrie of the North Island? I remember that the kingdom seemed to have asked her to mediate disputes on the North Island..."
Todd nodded: "There are several reasons why we chose the North Island Knights. First of all, the personnel responsible for controlling and operating the fleet this time need to have both sea and land combat capabilities. The North Island Knights are the best.
A good candidate; secondly, Brünnhilde, the general leader of the North Island Knights, as the North Island Valkyrie, can assist in handling the work of the North Islanders in this battle; finally, the North Island Knights have great influence on the northern region.
The geographical and hydrological environment are relatively familiar.”
Rachel looked a little worried: "But I heard that the North Island Knights have some issues with their loyalty to the Muxi Kingdom. Many of them have even left the army privately and returned to their respective tribes to help fight."
"This is also one of the reasons why I chose them." Todd pointed to his head: "Have you forgotten that we have just rebuilt Asgard and want to gain the loyalty of the North Islanders? This is the best choice.
opportunity."
Rachel shrugged: "Okay, as you said, let the North Island Knights be the main force of this attack. So who do you plan to bring with you in the camp?"
"Alfonso and the Guards Knights, I plan to let them stay in the camp. After all, the cavalry cannot display their formations whether at sea or in the city." Todd touched his chin: "I plan to bring warriors from all tribes, of course.
There are also those gladiators. Most of the slaves rescued during this raid on Gugu City are their tribesmen and friends. With these people here, things will be easier. Also, I will take Fergal with me..."
Rachel was stunned and interrupted Todd: "Fergal? That Ulster favorite! Are you sure?!"
"According to him, there is a war beast breeding ground underground in Gugu City, where the biggest secret of the Ulster Kingdom is hidden. If these secrets can be found and unlocked, Muxi Kingdom can start to cultivate the war beast army
, this is a very important opportunity for us.”
Rachel shook her head and said: "Even so, it's too risky! Can you guarantee that this is not a trap?"
"I know it's very risky to bring him along, but the secret of war beast cultivation is really important to Muxi City now." Todd persuaded Rachel: "If you can have this technology, Muxi
The kingdom’s military strength can be greatly improved.”
"Deirdre stays, but I have to go!" Rachel straightened up and stared at Todd.
Todd looked at her for a while and said softly: "If this raid can succeed, tens of thousands of slaves will be liberated, and all affairs in the camp need to be arranged in advance. Alfonso is only suitable for charging into battle, Alfonso
Kerman can only be responsible for logistics, and the others have no ability to manage the camp. Rachel, I can only rely on you."
Rachel bit her lip and said nothing.
Todd pretended to be relaxed and said: "Don't worry, if things really develop out of control, Henry the Griffin and I can safely escape from the battlefield at any time through the air."
"You are just comforting me. You are not the kind of guy who would run away alone." Rachel said helplessly: "The third problem is time."
"Once the first batch of combat troops land, the defenders of Gugu City will send out a signal, and the slave-catching troops stationed outside the city will immediately enter the city to support." Rachel pointed her finger at the city structure on the map: "Gucheng
There is only one gate in the city of Gucheng. Even if our troops march from the port in a hurry, it will take twenty minutes to reach the city gate. It is necessary to
Note that this is the result without any military obstruction. In fact, there are defenders stationed at the port, inside the city, and at the city gate. It would take an hour and a half under the best circumstances to defeat these enemies and rush to the city gate.
It only takes half an hour for the slave-catching army to enter the city gate. Once the enemy enters the city, the difficulty of capturing the city gate will increase greatly."
Todd waved his hand, and the image of griffins soaring in the sky appeared on the screen: "Muxi City is currently able to use ten griffins, and their domestication work has achieved some results..."
Rachel, who was quick-thinking, immediately guessed Todd's thoughts: "Do you want to use these griffins to carry an elite team and airborne to attack the city gate?"
"Yes, but the airborne team can only have ten people, so this group of people must be an absolute elite force."
Rachel closed her eyes and shook her head helplessly: "Let me guess, in addition to those Valkyries with superb martial arts skills on the North Island, you also plan to go into battle yourself, right?"
Todd smiled and nodded.
"Do you really want to do this? You have to know that once the gryphon puts ten of you into the enemy formation, you will not only have to face the counterattack in the city, but also deal with the attacks of thousands of enemy troops outside the city.
Holding on for at least an hour is simply an act of suicide!"
Todd showed a calm expression: "The airborne team that attacks the city gate must have strong power to quickly suppress the enemy. At this point, no one in the kingdom is more suitable for this position than me. As for standing firm and waiting for reinforcements, for this
Don’t worry about this battle, I specifically asked the Muxi City Cabinet to prepare a large amount of explosives and supernatural equipment, which can greatly reduce the pressure on defending the city."
"but……"
Todd gave Rachel a firm look, forcing the latter to swallow the words that came to her lips.
"You may be the bravest but also the craziest king I have ever seen. Even the King of the Holy Acropolis, who is called the Lion of Heavenly Father, is inferior to you." Rachel sighed deeply.
He took a breath and said, "I guess no matter what I say, it won't change your decision."
Todd gently held Rachel in his arms: "Don't worry, I won't do anything I'm not sure about."
Rachel leaned her head gently on Todd's chest, listened to the beating of his heart, and closed her eyes quietly.
After a while, she suddenly opened her eyes, lowered her head in surprise, and looked at Todd's lower body.
The latter was a little embarrassed: "This... I discovered for the first time that in the soul space, things can happen involuntarily..."
Rachel reached out her hand and gently touched Todd's face. After a moment, she seemed to have made up her mind and pecked him on the lips: "Come to my room tonight."
