Chapter 441: Marching into the Ice Ring Lake
From the liberation of Holy Axe Town in the last chapter to now, a whole year has passed in the game.
During this year, with the full support of his father-in-law Sigur, Basaka led the liberated Olaf people to rebuild Holy Axe Town and turned it into a base camp for resistance against the "Ice Tower Warlock" Gelmir.
The news about "Holy Axe Heir" Basaka Olaf quickly spread throughout Jotunheim.
From the Great Glacier to the East Coast, all the Asir people who suffered from the oppression of the Frost Giants were like being injected with a shot of cardiotonic. Under the call of the new chief of the Olaf tribe, they all participated in the uprising against Gelmir's brutal rule, and the flames of war spread across Jotunheim.
Seeing that the time was ripe, Sigur and Basaka, the father-in-law and son-in-law, called on the leaders of the Asir tribes, urging the chiefs to lead a group of elite soldiers to cooperate with the coalition forces of the Vali tribe and the Olaf tribe to besiege the Ice Tower Fortress.
We must achieve our goal in one battle, overthrow the rule of the Frost Giants, and win complete liberation for all the Aesir compatriots.
This impassioned manifesto received a unanimous response from all tribes.
In September of that year, the Olaf Corps led by Basaka and the Vali Corps led by Sigur met with the troops led by the other three tribal chiefs at the Ice Ring Lake to discuss the battle plan.
In theory, the coalition forces should launch a siege as soon as possible before the arrival of winter, given their superior strength and high morale.
Gelmir and his frost giants, Yitian centaurs and white dragons are all cold-type creatures that are naturally not afraid of the cold. If this war is delayed until the weather turns cold and the roads are blocked by heavy snow, it will become unrealistic to capture the Ice Tower Fortress.
Such an obvious truth is understood by the coalition generals, but they are delayed at this critical juncture.
The problem lies in two aspects.
First, Sonya Shuangming, the "White Dragon Queen" in the north, an important ally of the Asir coalition, had originally agreed to lead 100 young white dragons to help in late September.
Now it is the end of September, and Sonya's troops have not yet arrived.
Basaka entrusted Eve to write countless letters to urge her to fulfill her promise. The cunning White Dragon Queen always found excuses to shirk, which really made people doubt her sincerity.
Without Sonya's troops, the tribal coalition currently has only 50 white dragons available.
These white dragons have a huge appetite and cannot eat without meat, which has caused great pressure on the logistics supply of the troops.
The white dragons are unruly by nature. Except for Basaka Olaf, no one in the coalition can subdue this group of evil dragons. They will fight and make trouble when they are dissatisfied, which has become a major hidden danger in the army.
There is also a more difficult problem, which is the contradiction between the top leaders of the tribal coalition.
Except for Chief Siegel who supported his son-in-law, the other three respected old chiefs were not very confident about the young Basaka, and doubted whether he had enough courage and wisdom to lead the coalition.
When the chiefs met, they had serious disagreements over the battle plan.
Basaka hoped to launch an offensive as soon as possible.
The three old chiefs advocated steady progress and tried to avoid unnecessary casualties.
At least before Queen Sonya's white dragon troops arrived, they refused to launch a full-scale offensive.
The opinions of the two sides were sharply opposed, and no one could convince the other, and the result was an unhappy breakup.
The command within the coalition could not be unified, and it was like a pile of loose sand.
At present, only the Vali tribe and the Olaf tribe were absolutely loyal to Basaka, and the other tribes were still watching.
This situation looked familiar to Gao Fei.
The eighteen princes are working together to fight Dong Zhuo, right?
This is not a good sign!
In fact, the concerns of the three old chiefs are not unreasonable.
The coalition forces have an advantage in terms of military strength on paper, but there is a weak link, which is the lack of air power.
There are more than a hundred white dragons stationed on the position of the ice tower fortress opposite, firmly controlling the air supremacy on the battlefield.
The coalition forces lost air supremacy, and the enemy's white dragon reconnaissance team was circling over their heads all day long. All the deployments were clearly seen by them. How should this battle be fought?
Before Basaka could figure it out, Gelmir took action first.
Through the intelligence provided by the white dragon reconnaissance team, the ice tower warlock had discovered the shortcomings of the tribal coalition forces, and immediately ordered his general Schroeder to seize the opportunity to take the initiative!
Gelmir and Schroeder's purpose is very clear.
Taking advantage of the fact that the tribal coalition forces have not yet unified their thoughts, they fiercely attacked the southern bank positions stationed by the Olaf tribe and the Vali tribe.
As long as these two corps loyal to Basaka are crippled, the other barbarian chieftains who follow the wind will lose the courage to resist and surrender to the frost giants.
The first to attack were the White Dragon Corps under Gelmir.
Hundreds of white dragons circled over the battlefield, covering the sky and the sun, and the dragon power they exuded was suffocating.
After 9 o'clock in the morning, the ground troops stationed on the lakeside of the Ice Tower also began to move forward.
Basaka received the intelligence and immediately guessed Gelmir's intention.
It was difficult to resist the full-scale counterattack of the Ice Tower army with just the two corps in his hands.
Basaka hurriedly ordered his beloved wife and chief staff officer Eve Vali to write a letter to the White Dragon Queen Sonya as soon as possible, urging her to lead the White Dragon troops to come to the rescue as soon as possible.
In addition, Basaka also asked Eve to write a letter to the three old chiefs stationed on the north bank of the Ice Ring Lake, urging them to lead their 3,000 Asa hunters to come to the rescue as soon as possible!
Eve first wrote four letters by hand, then used magic to copy them in triplicate and handed them to her druid staff.
The druids sorted the letters into categories and then cast a spell to summon "animal messengers".
Soon, 12 ravens landed on the desk of the headquarters.
The druids tied the letters to the legs of each raven and told the birds to fly to the recipient at full speed.
The 3-ring "Short Message" scrolls had been used up, and Eve's druid team had to settle for the second best and use the relatively cheaper 2-ring "Animal Messenger" to deliver the letters.
But there are two hidden dangers in doing so.
First, the efficiency of the message is not high enough.
No matter how fast the crows fly, they can't compare to the "Short Message" that can be delivered instantly.
It's okay to send a letter to the allies stationed on the north shore of the Ice Ring Lake. It can be delivered in half an hour at most.
But to cross the Ice Ring Lake and the vast wilderness to send a letter to the White Dragon Queen far away in the northern glacier, it will take at least half a day to fly.
This is still under the premise that everything goes well.
If the raven messenger is shot down by an enemy sentry or eaten by a bird of prey during flight, the letter will be lost.
It is precisely to avoid the above accidents that every important long-distance letter sent by the headquarters must be backed up in several copies, just in case.
Of course, this practice also increases the possibility of the letter being intercepted by the enemy.
Unfortunately, the military situation is urgent and there is no time to worry about so much.
