Rise of the Plants

"Have the information from the two overseas families not been sent yet?" Duke Bruce glanced at the spar plate, then raised his head and looked into the distance for a while, using a telescope.

However, this telescope was not produced by Chi Nan. After studying the principles of the telescope, the alchemists of the Holy Dragon Empire used crystal stones to polish the lenses and made them. It is not one kind.

It can be said that as long as it is related to the military, the Holy Dragon Empire, like other kingdoms, likes to use its own products. Basically, they would not use things made by other big forces, for fear of being left behind. Especially those plants, they couldn't believe it.

It's just that it's still too far away from the two large islands opposite. They can only see a vague outline here, which they can't see clearly at all. They can only distinguish it based on the news coming from the front.

"I really envy those people in the Holy Tree Territory. They can sit at home and easily see any picture they want to see. Those of us hateful alchemists spend all day studying their inexplicable things and don't know how to make a good contribution. .”

The people around him lowered their heads and said nothing. The Grand Duke and the others did not dare to say anything. As for those alchemists, they are a huge group. Even if they are nobles, they are not willing to offend those people easily.

At this time, the information sent by the two families had been dug out. Looking at the information, Duke Bruce frowned again. "The two useless families actually dare not get close to the defense line. They can only roughly rely on their own speculations to deduce how we should fight."

Pointing to the map: "Forget it, leave them alone. Based on past experience, their defense lines are already everywhere on the sea. We must fight all the way. Without ships to cooperate, we can only consume magic power." Clean up.”

Continuing to point further away: "These ports must be where their defenses are strongest. We must avoid these locations. We must also avoid these mountains. We cannot attack from here."

"Why not? Mountains are the most difficult to build defenses. Didn't we all fight over mountainous areas in the past?"

Bruce did not speak, but an old man next to him had already spoken: "Our previous enemies were all the same as us, using alchemy as their main means of warfare. It is not easy to build alchemical defenses on the mountain. It is also difficult for the mages to reach the mountain. The difficulty is determined innately, and the defense of this place is inherently weak."

The old man continued: "But opposite us is the Holy Tree Territory. Their fighting method is to use plants. Planting plants on the mountain peaks is not a difficult thing for them."

Yes, some anti-aircraft cannons can be easily planted even on the sea and rocks, not to mention the mountain peaks inland. It is too easy to build defenses on mountains.

"You're right, I didn't even notice it. Besides, there are already many trees on the mountain. It would be more difficult for us to distinguish war plants hidden in that place." Everyone has already figured it out.

"Our main target of attack is Kalan Island, so we can temporarily let go of the Holy Tree Island. In this way, our pressure will be much less. Use two main armies to resist the Holy Tree Island there. We only need the support. We can put the other troops on the attack on Callan Island." Bruce continued to formulate a battle plan.

He kept making calculations and gestures on the map while talking quickly. Everyone also kept putting forward opinions, and finally everyone finally determined three places as the locations for the attack. Bruce drew three circles on the map.

"Very good, these are the three locations. A large area of ​​these two locations is the Gobi Desert, which has not been covered by plant modification for the time being, so the plant weapons here are the least, which can reduce our pressure on the ground."

"The last position is on the side. Although there may be more defenses here, the rear is a smooth road, approaching the center of the Kalan Island family, which is also the command center that currently controls Kalan Island. We have to use this pressure, Force them to concentrate a large number of troops, and then strengthen the breakthrough of the other two routes."

The old man just now showed a clear look: "As long as the three armies enter the interior of Kalan Island at the same time, they will focus on one thing and lose the other. At that time, our flying boat's advantage over them will be maximized."

Bruce nodded and said: "Yes, our strategy is to expand our advantage, but the most important thing is to look at each other's hard power. As an air battle, there are too few strategies that can be used."

"Your Majesty the Duke is too humble. We still have a Golden Mage accompanying the army. The Holy Tree Territory cannot provide a Golden Mage. With the help of the Golden Mage, I think we will definitely win this battle. We just need to consider how to win."

The less the losses, the better the outcome of the war, the more they can demonstrate their power, and the more they can gain credit.

"So at this stage, we can't just rush over like this." A noble suggested.

Bruce nodded and said: "Yes, that's not possible now. We must first clear out their maritime defense lines, at least three channels. No, three channels are not enough. We need to clear a few more channels so that they don't know that we are taking over." Down the offensive line. So, let’s choose six lines.” Bruce quickly drew six lines.

"In these six directions, first let our main force retreat and let the teams formed by the local nobles clean up. Just say it is my order." Bruce said with a serious face.

The other nobles around wanted to refute, but finally kept their mouths shut. The Grand Duke had already given the order.

You know, many nobles are related to them. Even they themselves dare not say that all flying boats are the latest models. Many old models will be sent up like cannon fodder.

Who would be willing to suffer losses even if the credit is small? But someone has to do this. For the final victory, they can only grit their teeth and endure it. Who put them in the command center now? This is not just a place where personal interests are considered.

A moment later, the order was issued, and the expressions of the nobles who received the order suddenly changed. "What? Why is there such a ridiculous order? Can't we just push it over? Why do we need to be the vanguard?"

"That's right, the opponent's strength is not very strong. Can't we just push them sideways? Isn't this how wars were fought in the past?" Some nobles began to talk about what they had learned in the military academy.
