Chapter 581 The Song of Blood and Fire on the Rose Plain (5)
Updated: 2012-12-09
Seven Dragons, November 13, 1034, early morning, the west bank of the Rousniz River
On the wide and gentle river, several simple floating bridges formed by small boats were lying quietly. At the same time, the elite soldiers walked neatly from above without saying a word and walked towards the unknown battlefield ahead.
Until now, the coalition forces' operations were quite smooth, and the expected enemy's blockade did not appear. The other side of the river was surprisingly calm from the beginning. At least when most of the teams crossed the river, there was no even a demon. This surprised many generals of the coalition forces, and it also made many people think of a possibility...
The demons were really timid, and their morale could no longer support their battle.
The Grand Duke of Aragon, who claimed to be on the battlefield for more than ten years, waved his hand and announced that the entire army would be lifted from his vigilance and quickly cross the river bank.
Some cautious people think it is inappropriate, but fortunately, until almost all the troops crossed the river safely, the demon did not appear, and all this seemed to indicate that the other party might have really lost the will to fight.
"That guy Ward... shouldn't be so timid, right?"
As the most precious and fragile team in the coalition, the mage volunteer group finally crossed the river, and the two top mages in the coalition were naturally the two top mages in the coalition, Slodan and Naili.
"……God knows."
"Huh? Haven't you fought with him?"
"It's just a very short fight, and a person like him can't understand what he thinks and what he thinks."
"But... it is obviously a good blocking area, why give up?"
Sitting on the skeleton war horse, looking at it all, the east bank of the river in Naili was just a plain full of dead grass, without any barriers, and even the river bank was less than two meters high. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a flat river.
"If he chooses to cross here halfway, he only needs a small number of troops with good mobility. Even if he cannot stop us from crossing the river, it can at least cause more than a thousand people, or even less."
"No, this is not necessarily the case. If I were asked to come, I might choose not to block here... As you said, the terrain here is very wide, and it is actually not a good place to attack. Even if the demons' troops can hide, have you forgotten those things?"
As he said that, Slodan raised his head towards the magic cannons flowing dazzlingly on the east bank of the river. These were all large-caliber magic cannons just produced from the federal factory.
"The terrain is completely uncovered, and the power of those things will be released 100%. The devil's losses will definitely not be small, and it may even be even greater... So since we cannot stop us from crossing the river, we may have to pay a considerable loss. Will the devil, whose troops are weaker than us, do this? There is no reason at all."
"Then he can wait until the magic cannon is still being transported or attacked when it's just shipped."
"Didn't you see it? Before that, we had already gained a foothold on the other side of the river. How many people would the demons need to eat the vanguard of tens of thousands of vanguards? The large army cannot hide in this terrain, so it may become a situation where the two sides confront each other from the river. We have enough magic cannons, what about the demons? They do not have enough fortifications and their troops are weaker than us. Magic cannons are enough to defeat them... I would rather be like this."
“…I have nothing to say.”
Naili is a master, but only for personal combat. In terms of military planning, he thinks he is not as good as Slodan.
"Then...Slodan, since the demons gave up here, where do they plan to defend? Are they Brno?"
The small mage army quickly crossed the river, but as soon as the two walked off the pontoon bridge, they immediately received an invitation from Grand Duke Aragon. It seemed that the battle-hardened grand duke had some new ideas.
"No, Brno is a dead place. If the demon chooses where to defend, he will inevitably fail..."
As he rode his horse through the marching team, Slodan gently took out a simple battlefield map from his sleeve. This was drawn by himself after he used an extremely precious strategic mage eye to survey the terrain.
"...Naili, look at this Brno, this is our current location..."
In order to see the not-so-large map in Slodan's hand, Naili had to stick to the other side while stretching his head. After seeing this action by some players behind him, it immediately caused some small storm.
"... The demon cannot retreat now, because according to intelligence, Safi's forward troops have quickly passed through the Griffin Principality and are about to go around to his rear. If he chooses to retreat at this time, he may face the danger of double-teaming in front and back. Therefore, the only strategy is to quickly defeat us, and then turn to join forces to fight Safi!"
"Defeat us?"
"Yes! You can't drag, and you can't lose! Ward only chooses to win quickly! That's why I say drag is the best way to play, but..."
"Then where will it choose to play?"
"This is hard to say, but I guess... it should be here!"
Slodan's hand stopped in the middle of the map, an area called Rose Origin.
"Rose Origin?"
"Yes, because there are big rivers in everything, and there are swamps and lakes to the south. When it comes to defense, it is actually much better than Brno, and...you see."
"This is……"
Slodan pointed to an area in the south of the Rose Origin, near the swamp area, which seemed to have been specially marked.
"I have looked carefully with the Eye of the Wizard. This should be a high ground. As long as I keep it here, it is equivalent to controlling the entire Rose Origin! So I predict that the demon will definitely defend it, and may even have repaired solid fortifications waiting for us... In short, there should be a hard battle later."
"No matter what fortifications he has, the cannon is opened and he will be knocked down! More than 200 magic cannons, I don't believe that I will not be able to knock him down!"
"If he was standing there and letting you bang, of course it was..."
As soon as he was halfway through his words, Slodan discovered that the energetic grand duke had immediately been on a mound, chatting and laughing with the generals around him.
"Duke, is there anything happy?"
When he rode his horse onto the mound with Naili, he saw Slodan and the others coming, the smile on the face of Grand Duke Aragon became even more bold, and there was a smell of being in control.
"Hahaha! Mr. Slodan, the devil is finished!"
"Oh? How do you say it?"
"The timid king of hell just now sent a letter, hoping that both sides would send envoys to discuss."
"That grand duke means..."
"Hmph! The demon should only stay in hell, or on the guillotine!"
Aragon's speech immediately aroused a lot of applause, but Slodan's doubts became deeper.
"Duke, can you... let me take a look at the letter?"
"certainly."
After taking the letter from Grand Duke Aragon, Slodan found that the content of this time was not much different from the last time, but his tone was a little lower.
"The conspiracy...there is definitely a conspiracy."
Thinking of this in his heart, Slodan returned the letter to Aragon with a complicated expression, and then whispered:
"Duke, what are you going to do later?"
"Well, according to the information sent by the scouts, the main forces of the demon army are all gathered on the front line of the Goldbach River, and the main forces are concentrated at the northern end, so my plan is..."
The two attendants quickly unfolded a huge map, and Aragon pointed at the line of the Goldbach River and whispered:
"... Use a piece of troops to restrain the enemy's northern wing, and place three-fifths of the total force on the southern wing, and it is expected to break through the opponent's defense between the small highlands and the Zaqian Lake. Then, detour the enemy's right side, cut off the retreat route to Brno, and annihilate all the enemy troops in the Brno area! Because our troops are stronger than the opponent, even if there are only two-fifths of the troops in the north, they are not inferior to the enemy."
A very good plan, Slodan had to admit that Aragon was indeed a war person, and the specific tactics were in line with reality, but at the same time he also discovered a very strange situation.
"Wait... the demons gave up that highland of Roseyuan!? They weren't there to defend?"
"Yes! All the demons are huddled on the west bank of the Goldbach River, and there are only a few troops in the south wing to defend. Their commander is definitely a stupid pig."
"No! How could Ward make such a low-level mistake?"
"Hmph! I said that the Skywalker is the Skywalker. No matter how powerful the Skywalker is, he will never fight."
“……………………”
Just as Slodan was silent, the troops who went to occupy the highlands sent back a soldier. He told everyone that the troops were going well, and there was no one on the highlands, and there was no resistance.
"Hahaha! Victory is within reach! Order the entire army to advance at full speed!"
With a big laugh, Aragon suddenly grabbed the war horse under his crotch and rushed forward with his knight like the wind, and the speed of the troops' advance suddenly doubled.
"Hey, Slodan...didn't you say Ward is smart? Why..."
After taking everyone away, Slodan still rode his war horse in a daze, wondering what he was thinking on the mound. Seeing him like this, Naili asked carefully, but when he got it, he shook his head with unknown meaning.
“…Do you think it’s normal?”
"It is certainly abnormal. A man who can unify the entire hell will not make such a low-level mistake."
"Then... can you tell what he wants to do?"
Still shook his head, Slodan was confused now, but he could confirm one thing.
"He must be waiting."
"What are you waiting for?"
"Wait for the opportunity he needs..."
In the blue sky, the scorching sun gradually rose, the mist covering the roses began to dissipate, and an unprecedented showdown was about to begin...
