ps: I have been so miserable recently that I am dying. I owe you about twenty chapters in total. I feel really sorry for you. But I finally found the time to pay it off. I will start paying off the debt tomorrow and pay back all these chapters as soon as possible.

To everyone. To Xiaolong for your tolerance and accommodation. Xiaolong can only say thank you here.

"How about it? Can we move to rescue the soldiers?"

James' slightly anxious voice came from the other end of the private chat channel.

"Hey, my sister has just mentioned it to the liaison officer stationed in the capital, but the other party doesn't seem to agree with our battle plan. Although we have now turned to communicate with the capital, the situation is not optimistic.

"

Here Lei Hanxin sighed deeply and sighed helplessly.

And hearing what Lei Hanxin said, James was already in despair. What a pity!!!

He sighed helplessly in his heart.

Just because they had caught up with such a good opportunity, they actually waited for a good time for the main force of the enemy army to leave the city! Although the opponent still had nearly 200,000 elite main force in the stronghold, the reduction in combat effectiveness was by no means 20% or 30%.

So simple.

The elite main force is certainly brave, but in the final analysis, it still needs to be combined with more military forces to form a truly invincible and invincible army. If they are separated individually, their power will be reduced a lot, especially in this situation, or

Large demon and fire elf-type troops that focus on melee combat.

If King Eagle Heart can send out a long-range main force with enough sixth-level cavalry and seventh-level angels, they might be able to seize the opportunity and annihilate the enemy's main force in one fell swoop!

In this way, they can turn passivity into initiative. By establishing a joint advantage of two strongholds on the edge of the City of Faith, they can also create a time difference in advance to annihilate the opponent's additional main force of more than one million legions.

In this way, the siege situation around the City of Faith is self-defeating!

Compared with before, when the city was surrounded and isolated from three sides and became an isolated city, the cost of breaking the situation was at least ten times smaller!

And as long as the crisis in the City of Faith is resolved, they will be able to pose a strong threat to the flanks of the demonic enemy forces. At least the entire frontline army of the demonic army in the northern part of the Eagle Heart Empire will be threatened, which can directly affect the entire battle situation.

A battleground for success or failure!

It is precisely for this reason that after Lei Hanxin and James noticed that they seemed to have an opportunity, they urgently contacted Lei Hanyu, hoping that they could contact the troops in the Jiuxin Kingdom in time to jointly attack.

But I didn’t expect that even with such a wonderful opportunity, I still couldn’t convince the other side to send troops.

"Then if you really can't convince the other side to send troops, forget it. After all, we don't have a say in the NPC issues. We just wanted to give it a try~ In the end, it's a pity!"

Although James' original intention was to comfort Lei Hanxin, he couldn't hold back the regretful words he said afterward, and followed them smoothly, but it also revealed what he was thinking.

It’s really heartbreaking to have no soldiers in hand!

This time James took the order to send troops. Although the main purpose was only to rescue the City of Faith so that they could persist more and better, the problem is that after understanding it, the current situation of the City of Faith is very bad. It can be said that it is about to collapse.

The momentum is already evident.

People often say that "a defeat is like a mountain falling." That kind of huge defeat on the battlefield has always been like the Yellow River opening its floodgates and collapsing thousands of miles away. It has a terrifying momentum like the earth is shattering, but this kind of "collapse" is generally best suppressed.

Yes, that is, if you have another force on hand, you can directly abandon the front battlefield and regroup behind you.

But the "collapse" that the City of Faith is about to face now is the collapse of its logistical supply force. In other words, the territory can no longer afford the lords and troops to continue to cooperate, and the enemy is in a stalemate.

This kind of war-related economic collapse is not as terrible as the collapse of the army, but it is more difficult to stabilize it because the problem of economic collapse in a territory is never a small problem. When an originally prosperous territory is about to collapse. Then

It means that there are too many accumulated problems. Sometimes even just one

Injecting a large amount of funds all at once may not be able to revitalize the territory, let alone support a large seventh-level territory and hundreds of thousands of troops. How much more will it cost for hundreds of thousands of players to continue fighting a seemingly endless war?

Even a rich man like Liu Yifei would never dare to boast that he could afford such a sum of money~

If the City of Faith "collapsed" because of such a problem, James does not need to bear too much responsibility. After all, he intervened in this war too late. Moreover, he only brought troops here and did not give the City of Faith any help.

It would be great to add more logistical pressure to the city. If you want to "use troops to save money and fight to support war," that cannot be achieved simply.

If the crime is not a war, then it is not the crime of James, the "reinforcement commander".

But the key problem is that it doesn’t sound good to say it out loud!

After all, James is also an official tactician hired by the Plague Alliance. Although he is still in the probation period, his official salary in the contract is 30,000 yuan a month! If he completes the campaign well above the league's level, there will be follow-up bonuses.

That’s basically an annual salary of 500,000 yuan a year.

It is said that it is currently the "highest salary" in the entire Plague Alliance.

For a person with such a high position and high salary, he stumbled in his first battle. Even if it was not James' fault, he couldn't afford to be embarrassed, especially during this mission, he was wasted for several days in the underground world.

Zhongzhuanyu, if this gets implicated again, the final tally will be settled.

So no matter what, James really wants to help the City of Faith survive the current difficulties, for the sake of others, and at the same time to save his own face.

It's a pity that things didn't go as planned. NPCs fell out of control at the critical moment. This is really not an issue that he, a "little player", can have the final say on. It seems that the matter has been finalized at this point today.

How could Lei Hanxin not hear the disappointment and helplessness in James's words? Not only was James unwilling to do so, but in fact, as the parties involved, the Lei family sisters were even more unwilling to do so! Especially Lei Hanxin, who had always been carefree, she even dreamed of being able to

Assist the main reinforcements from the Washoku Empire to rush straight into the enemy camp!

Just imagining the scene of thousands of troops following behind him, with iron hooves shaking the sky and spears like a forest, Lei Hanxin was so excited that he wanted to shout loudly!

And if this can be used to break the stalemate in the City of Faith being besieged in one fell swoop, it will be of great benefit to her!

Just who knows

But in the end Lei Hanxin came up with a plan that made James’ eyes light up:

"Okay, James, don't be discouraged.

Although Jiuxingcheng can't get any reinforcements, my sister's side has already begun to rectify it. The City of Faith will still take this opportunity to launch a round of raids. It must take this opportunity to give the enemy a head-on blow and make them more vulnerable.

Pay a little price for the recent killings."

"Ah? What?? The City of Faith plans to send troops unilaterally???

But there are at least 200,000 main elites in the opponent's camp!

With the current strength of the City of Faith, there is no hope of sending troops, it is simply a matter of death!"

The fire of hope that James had just ignited after listening to Lei Hanxin's words was quickly extinguished.

If the City of Faith only sends troops unilaterally, it will only be able to support a hundred high-level units, right? The main mid-level force can probably gather thousands of them.

But facing a high-level elite main force of 200,000 people. How useless is this small force?

Even if we recruit another 200,000 players in the city, it will only be a drop in the bucket!

Can ordinary players at levels 4 and 5 compare with the main force of mid-to-high-level NPCs at levels 6 and 7? It’s just a joke.

It feels like the City of Faith's troops are not here to sneak attack the enemy's camp, but rather to send troops to die.

Although James very much hopes to seize the current opportunity to inflict heavy damage on the enemy, and even solve the crisis in the City of Faith in one fell swoop, he still has to resolutely stop the Lei family sisters who are determined to jump into the fire pit, so he has nothing to do.

After hesitating, he spoke to dissuade him:

"Dragon Queen [Lei Hanxin's game ID is "Dragon Queen's Pearl"], why don't we give up this troop dispatch plan?

With the military strength of the City of Faith, there is no way to fight with the opponent. Unless the opponent has only 20,000 troops, we can still think of a way, if it is 200,000."

But James hadn't finished what he wanted to say yet. Lei Hanxin interrupted him with a chuckle.

"Where are you thinking! Who said our troops are coming to attack the enemy's camp? Do you think we are stupid? We are heading for a dead end by ourselves?

What my sister means is that although we can't bring in a large number of reinforcements to surprise the enemy's lair, we still have to try our best to reduce the enemy's effective strength!

Could it be that we cannot move even a few of our second-line troops if we cannot move the enemy's elite?"

"Ah? Second-line troops? Where is the second-line army here!!! I thought of it!!! So you want to"

James, who looked confused just now, suddenly figured out a certain key. Then he showed endless joy in an instant.

Yes, on the current battlefield, apart from the 200,000 high-level elite main force still entrenched in the enemy's camp, the only one that can be considered a "target" is probably the million-strong main force that left the camp and attacked.

It's just that a million middle and low-level mixed troops are not something the City of Faith can afford, not to mention that they don't know what the situation is like in the million demon army over there. Just touching it is tantamount to seeking death.

But if you look beyond this small battle situation, there are too many optional targets!

At present, the City of Faith is surrounded by demonic armies on three sides. The enemy's choice of encirclement method is to establish three independent camps in the rear. It is to attack the rear assembly point of the City of Faith, and also to enter the Eagle Heart Empire in this direction for subsequent invasion operations.

An important training base for the demon army.

This arrangement means that a large number of mobile legions have been stationed in these three demon camps for a long time. Coupled with the consistent order problems on the demon side, some flaws have been exposed.

If an overly large demon army enters a certain demon camp to rest, then that camp will fall into a certain degree of chaos in a short period of time. Once the City of Faith seizes the opportunity to send troops to sneak attack. For the demons

It’s definitely really bad news!

Therefore, in order to prevent this situation, each demon camp will station a group army [300,000] in an area close to the City of Faith to build a frontline branch camp. Although it cannot establish direct transmission with the rear camp, it can

It can effectively monitor all real-time developments in the City of Faith. It is also the main frontline force in encircling the City of Faith.

In other words, the main purpose of the three demonic camps is to encircle and exert pressure and provide a transit point for our own army to attack the homeland of the Eagle Heart Empire, so as to control the actions of the surrounding demonic armies. However, the real combat troops are

The three branch battalions in front have a total strength of nearly one million!

The sub-battalion provides reconnaissance intelligence and early warning work for the main camp, and the main camp supports the sub-battalion operations. Once the group army's military strength is seriously reduced, the troops are allowed to retreat and another reorganized group army is sent to take over.

After Lei Hanyu tried to communicate with the special liaison officer but failed, she turned to the idea of ​​​​attacking independently to defeat the enemy's branch base in this direction.

Because the camp behind the enemy is in a state of chaos at the moment, the main force of the army is out and the elite cannot be sent out at will, so the branch camp is inadvertently isolated!

Although there are also demon armies ranging from 200,000 to 300,000 in the branch camp, it is a mixed main force group. The proportion of high-level troops will never exceed 20%, and the quality will definitely not be comparable to that of the demon camp.
To be continued...
