essential.

Thinking of this, Kessler lowered his voice, "Then what happened afterwards? These behemoths just ran away? You didn't lead anyone to chase them?"

Kurd shook his head, "No, because I know that our supplies and luggage are more important, so I immediately led people to fight the fire, hoping to save more supplies and food in the fire."

Kessler nodded, "You're right. If that's the case, the baggage supply shouldn't be wiped out."

Kurd smiled wryly, "However, those behemoths came back after rushing out of the camp. At this time, that monster pushed down the mountain. I don't know how it did it. The hills on both sides of us turned out Falling down at the same time, just imagine how much panic that situation would bring to our soldiers. This time, I know that we have no chance to fight the fire again. I immediately decided to lead the whole army to kill these Behemoth beasts. However, the situation is far from being as simple as I imagined. The fighting power of these behemoths is too strong, and our soldiers are unable to display their real fighting power in panic. When that huge monster After rushing into the battle circle again, the behemoth Behemoth, which has always been out of control after being berserk, woke up under the influence of a special sound, and rushed out of the camp with it again towards the east. When I led the troops to chase When I was on the way, I encountered the bear-men spear-throwing troops of the orc clan, and because I didn't know how many orcs were hiding in that forest, I had no choice but to retreat."

Hearing Kurd's words, Kossler seemed to see the situation at that time. When he thought about what he would do if he were Kurd, he suddenly realized that even he couldn't do better than Kurd. The anger suddenly decreased a bit.

Kurd continued, "When I returned to the camp, I took people to put out the fire with great difficulty, but all I got was a ruin, all the food and grass were burned, but our luggage, armor, and ordnance disappeared, not even a trace of it." I didn’t stay, and until now, I haven’t figured out what’s going on.”

Kussler fell silent, and all the generals in the tent also fell silent. If Kurd's description is true, then all this is simply too terrible for Flo. The army of orcs has already arrived in Flo. In western Xinjiang, there is only one explanation, that is, the Orc God of War tribe took advantage of the emptiness in the interior of Foro to launch a war against Foro. At least some troops have infiltrated into the kingdom. Even the most elite Beamon Legion came with as many as 100 people. It can be seen how powerful the God of War Fortress is this time.

Kurd looked at his uncle with firm eyes, "Master Marshal, I don't regret my death, but please make an early judgment. It is important to attack Milan, but if our country's rear is unstable, how can our soldiers be on the front line? Fighting desperately? Please be sure to contact the country as soon as possible and make a judgment as soon as possible.”

Kussler took a deep breath. He knew that this time he was in serious trouble. His eyes flashed blue, and he chanted a few spells in a low voice. In a blue six-pointed star, a middle-aged man with long blue hair appeared out of thin air. In front of him.

"Old buddy, what are you looking for? You don't seem to be in the middle of a battle." Qingfa Qingyi released a layer of terrifying aura, which was exclusive to the dragon's breath, and it was a ninth-level dragon. This middle-aged man is Kurd's monster partner, a ninth-level wind dragon, and Herman, one of the elders of Wind Dragon City.

"Old friend, I'm afraid we're in trouble, Kurd, please describe to Herman the special monster you just met."

Kurd followed what Koestler said.

After hearing Kurd's words, Herman, the wind-type dragon, fell into deep thought immediately, his eyes flickered with blue light, suddenly, he seemed to think of something, and his eyes flickered "Could it be it, if so, Kussler, I can be sure that the orcs your nephew encountered were from the God of War tribe."

This is the news that Koestler is most afraid of knowing, and he can't wait to ask "Why?"

Herman's face was serious, "Kussler, let me ask you, what is the pattern on the clan flag of the Orc God of War tribe?"

As soon as this remark came out, Korla was the first to react, "That's right, what Senior Herman said is right, I remembered that the appearance of that dragon beast is exactly the same as the pattern on the flag of the God of War tribe."

What does the clan flag of the God of War tribe represent?Among the many generals present, not many knew it. After all, even for the God of War tribe, it was just a legend, but Koesler, as the marshal, naturally knew it.

"Could it be, is it the totem of the God of War tribe, which only appeared in legends, one of the four great beasts of the orc clan, and the second largest war beast?"

When Keesler uttered the four words "War Behemoth", the audience was in an uproar, and everyone's eyes unconsciously showed a gleam of fear.

What kind of existence is a war behemoth?After fighting with the orcs for so many years, how many of them have heard of it? Every time the orcs of the God of War tribe make a charge, they will shout Long live the God of War, shouting that there is no city that cannot be broken. The orcs representing these God of War tribes are invulnerable, but they believe in the powerful power of totems.

Behemoths of war, the existence of legendary sacred dragons that cannot break through the defense, are almost as famous as Amethyst Bimon, the head of the four great beasts, with an invincible charge and unbreakable defense, these are all descriptions of war behemoths, What kind of impact does the Behemoth Behemoth Army led by the war behemoth have?

Kussler gave Herman a questioning look, and he got a positive look. As the marshal, Kussler made a decisive decision and made his own choice.

"Kurd, if what you are facing is really the totem of the God of War tribe, the legendary tenth-level beast, then this failure is justifiable, and it is meritorious for sending the news to me in a short time. Not yet, but before His Majesty makes a decision, I allow you to take the blame and make meritorious deeds temporarily."

Kurd didn't expect that he could survive the catastrophe. He knew that it was not because of his uncle's protection, but because the news he brought back was indeed shocking enough, so he hurriedly stepped aside with a respectful promise.

Kussler said in a deep voice, "Pass my order, the left forward and right forward armies gather together and return, and the central army retreats a hundred miles. Before I come back, no one is allowed to act rashly. All the members of Floro are ready to march quickly at any time. "

All the generals shouted in unison, "Yes, Marshal."

Kussler turned to Herman, "Magic communication can't fully report the specific situation, old friend, I will trouble you to go with me, and it must be fast."

Herman nodded, "The appearance of the war behemoth is undoubtedly a huge change. Let's go now. With the fastest speed of the Dragon Clan, I think I can take you back to Florence within two days."

"Yinzhu, good news." Oliveira said excitedly.

Ye Yinzhu smiled slightly, "Did the frontline army of Fo Luo temporarily stop attacking?"

Oliveira gave Ye Yinzhu a thumbs up, "That's right, the Floro army has temporarily retreated, and the pressure on the Eastern Army of the Empire has been greatly reduced. It seems that our choice is correct."

A cold light flashed in Ye Yinzhu's eyes, "Now is not the time to be happy. Although the Florian army retreats temporarily, the strategic deployment makes them have to continue this war. Otherwise, once the countries headed by Landias If they fail in this continental battle, what Floro will face is Milan's craziest revenge. Floro completely gambled his fate in this war. They will never retreat easily just because the food and grass are burned. We What they have done can only temporarily delay their progress towards Milan, and at the same time stir up suspicion between Foro and the Orc God of War tribe."

The smile on Oliveira's face restrained, "That's right, we burned all the food and grass of the 50 troops of the Kingdom of Flora for at least half a month. Although the loss was heavy, it still couldn't shake the root cause. The mainland has been peaceful for so many years, no matter what The country has a lot of savings. We burned their food and grass. I think the next batch of food and grass will arrive soon. In order to support the front line, Floro will definitely go all out. Yin Zhu, what should we do next? manage?"

Ye Yinzhu smiled and said, "Wait, brother, have you forgotten our unique advantages?" As he spoke, he looked up at the sky, the blue sky stretched as far as the eye could see, today's weather is particularly good, although it is still cold, but it is far away. The clouds and the bright sunshine brought some warmth to the soldiers of Zither City.

Oliveira's heart moved, "You mean the air?"

Ye Yinzhu nodded, "If I remember correctly, you told me before that the air force is the most difficult army to form, because the requirements in all aspects are too high, just like the Milan Empire, after many years of hard work, it only has a [-] army. The serial falcon dragoons are just destroyed in my hands."

Oliveira smiled wryly, "You still said that the loss almost made grandpa vomit blood. It was the most expensive dragoon, and it was also the trump card of our Milan Empire. Destroyed in your song "Long Xiang Cao"."

Ye Yinzhu asked, "Does the Flora Kingdom have such an air force?"

Oliveira shook his head resolutely, "No, definitely not. There may be a few giant dragons in the Kingdom of Flora, but it is absolutely impossible to have an air force. On the mainland, apart from our Milan, only Landias can It's possible to have that capability."

Ye Yinzhu smiled lightly, with wisdom shining in his eyes, "That's easy, we'll set up an air intelligence line for the rear of Fo Luo's army, don't they want food and supplies? Once they transport it, we will destroy it once. We just 3000 people, guerrilla with mobility, and under the condition of having enough intelligence, I will cut off the supply line of Floro."

Oliveira's eyes flashed, "Good idea, in this way, if the Florians want to get supplies, they have to send a large army back to the country to protect their food and grass from beginning to end, but even so, they may not Bear the charge of our divine beast level, but..."

"But what? Brother, you are more expert than me in military affairs. If you have any questions, just ask them and we will discuss them together."

Oliveira smiled and shook his head, "Maybe I have taken more military courses than you, and I am better than you in the deployment of some specific aspects, but in terms of the overall situation, I am far inferior to you. If I guess That's right, I'm afraid the map of the entire Flora Kingdom has been deeply imprinted in your mind, including the comparison between our army and the Flora army, and the location is all within your calculations."

Ye Yinzhu smiled, "Speaking of which, I have to thank Sura. Sura told me before that intelligence is the most important thing in the confrontation between the two armies. Only with a good intelligence network and a complete grasp of the enemy's movements can we Make the best choice, brother, what are you worried about?"

Oliveira said in a deep voice, "I'm worried that the Florians will jump over the wall in a hurry."

"Oh?" There was a hint of surprise in Ye Yinzhu's eyes, but he quickly returned to normal, and there was a sudden look in the depths of his eyes, "You mean, the Florians will desperately attack Milan in order to achieve Do you want to plunder Milan's food and grass for the purpose of fighting for war?"

Oliveira nodded, "Once you are forced into a desperate situation, this is the best choice. Retreating to protect the food and grass will only delay the opportunity of the battle and give us a chance to breathe. If Commander Floro is smart enough, he will definitely Choose to attack, although the east of our country is not as rich as the Puglia Plain, but where the army is stationed, there will definitely be food and grass."

Ye Yinzhu frowned slightly, he really wanted to miss this question, his eyes flashed, and his brain started to work rapidly, "Brother, according to the current situation, how many days can the food and grass of the Flo army last?"

Oliveira thought for a while, "The consumption of an army of 50 is an astronomical figure. According to common sense, the food and grass carried by the Florian army itself can last for three to five days at most. The mounts are used to maintain the soldiers' food, and they can last for another three days, that is, eight days."

Ye Yinzhu nodded, "That is to say, after eight days, the Florians will be hungry."

Oliveira nodded, "That is in an ideal state. According to the current position of the Florians, as long as their domestic supplies are deployed quickly enough, within six days, the first batch of supplies will definitely be delivered to the Florians. , if it is faster, it will take about five days."

Ye Yinzhu thought for a while, "What is the current situation of the Milan Eastern Legion? If Foluo launches a desperate attack, where will they attack first?"

Oliveira said without hesitation, "In the previous few battles, although the Eastern Legion relied on the fortified city to hold on, it also suffered heavy losses. At least 15% of the staff was reduced, and the actual combat strength was at most 15 people. Moreover, these fighters All of them have not been baptized by war, and their combat effectiveness is much weaker than that of Floro's elite army. Now these [-] troops are gathered in three border cities, centered on Sfort City, an important border town in the eastern border, to form a Even the horizontal defensive front, if the Florians want to succeed, they must rush through this defensive line."

Ye Yinzhu quickly took out the sheepskin map, squatted on the ground, and spread out the map. Olivier pointed at the map, and gave the location of the three cities he mentioned and the current locations of the Flora Army and the Zither City Mixed Army. All pointed to him.

Ye Yinzhu's hand fell on the large open space behind Sforte City, "What's the terrain here?"

"This is a hilly area, stretching for hundreds of miles. The eastern border of the empire is not as prosperous as the northwest border. The main economic points are in these cities on the border. Moreover, there are vast virgin forests in these hills. , because it is winter now, and there are no edible fruits. After passing the hills, we are in the interior of Milan. This whole land is sparsely populated. Without half a month's march, it is difficult to see bustling cities or towns , "He obviously grasped some of Ye Yinzhu's meaning, so when explaining, he focused on the border of Milan here.

Ye Yinzhu quickly flicked across the map, "That is to say, the distribution of the Milan Empire, the main prosperous areas are in the south, southwest and northwest. The east is the most barren, right?"

Rivera nodded.

Ye Yinzhu's black eyes lit up, "Brother Oliveira, if you were the commander of Foro, how would you choose when you carried out this devastating attack?"

After pondering for a while, Oliveira pointed to the map, "I will send a large army to line up in the three border cities. Two of them will besieged but not attacked. We will attack one of them with all our strength, and launch a charge regardless of losses. As long as we can break the city It is not difficult to get a large army of supplies from it, and then break the other two cities. At that time, we only need to send a large enough army back to the country to protect the continuous supply of supplies, and even use the strength of this army to wipe out our guerrillas. There is no need to worry about the future, the remaining army, at least 30, will directly advance into the territory of the empire, like a sharp knife, breaking through the rear of the empire."

Ye Yinzhu nodded, "Then what if I open the line of defense and let you pass? Are you willing to directly enter the territory of Milan?"

Oliveira froze for a moment, with a hint of shock in his eyes, "Yinzhu, what do you mean?"

"I just ask you, if I open a gap and let your army pass through my line of defense, will you be willing?"

Oliveira shook his head firmly, "Never, first of all, I don't know if this is your trap, secondly, and most importantly, the situation does not allow me to do that at all, the food and grass needed by a 50 army is too huge, According to the current situation of Flora, it will take at least three days to reach the three border cities. Even if they pass without a battle, they will not be able to get any supplies in the ten days before they reach the next city. For food, the speed of advancement will be further reduced. In this way, we don’t even need to do it. When they reach the inner cities of the empire, they will not have much combat power. Legion, from any point of view, no matter what kind of commander will make such a failed decision, the first prerequisite for advancing to the empire is to have supplies. In addition, if I am a Florian, in such a disparity in strength Under such circumstances, we will definitely wipe out the Eastern Legion first before moving forward, so as to eliminate our worries."

Ye Yinzhu clapped his hands, "That's easy, Brother Oliveira, I have an idea. If it can be realized, even if it can't turn the whole situation around, it will definitely make the Florians suffer a lot."

While talking, Ye Yinzhu forced his voice into a line and said something to Oliveira.

Listening to his words, the astonishment in Oliveira's eyes became stronger and stronger, and at the end, it even turned into astonishment, "No, how can this work, Yinzhu, this is too dangerous, absolutely not."

Ye Yinzhu smiled indifferently, "Have I experienced less danger? Don't you think that the 50 army of Foluo is stronger than the 30 army of your Northern Legion? At the beginning, my army and civilians in Zither City only had more than 30 people." , can withstand your [-] army. Could it be that this time I have the support of more than [-] Eastern Legion, can't I still block the charge of the Florians? And, don't forget, I also asked Grandma Nina I want the [-] logistics and supply army, and now what I need is the absolute deployment right of the Eastern Legion."

Oliveira's eyes flashed with light, and his face was cloudy and uncertain. After hearing Ye Yinzhu's plan, he knew in his heart that this was the best way, but Yinzhu...

"Yinzhu, let me go. As long as I have breath, I will never let the Foluo people go one step further."

Ye Yinzhu shook his head, "No, big brother, it's not that I can't trust you, but that your strength is far from enough, and I'm not afraid to tell you that if something happens, I will withdraw without hesitation, don't worry Well, I won't fight recklessly, no one is more suitable than me to go to Sfort City, don't forget, I still have this." While talking, he had an extra micro badge shining red light in his hand .

Oliveira wanted to say something more, but Ye Yinzhu stopped him with his eyes, "Come here, give me an order to order the leaders of all ministries to come to discuss matters."

It didn't take long, and the leaders of all parties in Zither City gathered in front of Ye Yinzhu, including the patriarchs of the three druid tribes, Zi, Ming, Glacis, Ye Hongyan, and the leaders of the elves this time and Dong Longba Zonglan and Mei Zongzong masters and three-headed golden Bimon.

Having just won a big victory, everyone's mood is quite calm, with relaxed expressions on their faces.

Ye Yinzhu said, "I called everyone here to discuss our next steps. After discussing the specific actions with Brother Oliveira, I have made a plan. From now on, during the period of time when I am away, Qincheng belongs to the united obedience to the Austrian government." Rivera dispatched, no one shall disobey the order."

Glacis stared at Ye Yinzhu with wide eyes, "Master Qindi, where are you going? If you still go to the granary, don't forget me, I haven't eaten so full for a long time, hehe."

Ye Yinzhu smiled slightly, "It's very easy to eat enough, you will have a chance in a few days, but one thing, Glacis, if you want to have enough food, after I leave, you must obey Oliveira Brother's dispatch." In Ye Yinzhu's plan, the role of the war behemoth Glacis is the most important, and he had to give detailed instructions.

Glacis glanced at Oliveira with somewhat disdain in his eyes, but he still nodded, "Okay, Lord Qindi, I listen to you, and you can do whatever you say, but you must let I'm full."

Ye Yinzhu ignored him and continued to give orders, "From the next moment, the druids of the raptors and the horned eagle knights will cross the border of Flo in a scattered formation. I ask you to keep at least three hundred miles away from the Flo army. At the above distance, at the same time, keep reconnaissance at all times, and report to Oliveira immediately once you find the appearance of the Fro logistics supply unit. slip."

The leader of the elves and the patriarch of the raptor druid nodded at the same time.

"Beamon Legion, Death Dragon Wolf Cavalry, Dryad Druids and Elf Priests, Brother Oliveira, I will leave them to you. They are highly mobile and the most combative troops in our army. There are Glacis As a vanguard, I think that as long as the Florians can't get an escort army of more than 5 people, we can defeat their logistics supplies. However, you must pay attention to one thing, don't love to fight, even if our army occupies In order to gain the absolute upper hand, don’t be obsessed with fighting, destroy the opponent’s logistics supplies and run away immediately, and be sure not to let the opponent know our specific position. When necessary, you can also dispatch the horned eagle knight to assist in the battle, but the reconnaissance must not be missed.”

Oliveira's eyes shone with determination, "Unless I die, I will never let a grain of food support Floro's army."

Ye Yinzhu nodded, "Claw Druids and Donglong's subordinates immediately packed up and set off with me. Zi and Ming, you will follow me."

Ye Yinzhu obviously had intentions in doing this. What he left for Oliveira was most of the combat power of Zither City, and they were all the fastest troops, while the land he took away by himself was relatively less mobile. , but the actual combat ability is also not weak, and the defense of the city does not need a mount. The invincible powerhouse in land warfare like the Behemoth can only display its true strength in the plain charge.

"Brother Oliveira, immediately send a magical message to Grandma Nina, I want the absolute right to rule the Eastern Legion."
