The Witcher: Son of the Planes

Five days later, the wizard base in the acacia plane, the ninth floor of the wizard tower.

Lina, Ron, and Derek are organizing a strategic seminar, and wizards such as Colin also attended the meeting.

"Lina, according to the latest intelligence, the acacia giant tree is constantly recruiting creatures from the plane to rush to our base. The creatures from the plane that are rushing over are currently concentrated in a canyon 300 kilometers away. If time drags on, the number of opponents is estimated to increase a lot." Ron said.

"Uncle Ron, I also know the situation. The problem now is that we need to concentrate all our efforts to attack there, or defend first and then launch an attack."

"I think it doesn't matter if we kill directly. The second-level acacia giant tree is not there. Even if they have more first-level creatures and cannon fodder below the first level, it's not enough." Derek expressed his opinion.

"If we can rely on the existing defense system of the base and defend for a wave, the damage will be much smaller. Everyone should be clear that the current situation of this plane is different from our original estimate, and the most important thing is that we have no reinforcements and cannot fail, and we must minimize the damage." Lina said again.

"Well, if we can sacrifice less, I have no objection, but I feel that it will delay our progress in occupying the plane." Derek said.

"Uncle Ron, what do you think?"

"Through the sweep a few days ago, the other side's escaped fish will definitely report our strength to their top management, and they can roughly judge our strength with an analysis. This is also the reason why they no longer use the refueling tactic. They want to concentrate a certain number of people before attacking us.

My original intention was to attack them while they are still unstable and consume some of their strength, but Lina, your consideration is also reasonable. Relying on the base's defenses will cause less damage."

"Do you guys have any ideas?" Lina turned to Colin and others again.

"No objection, follow your arrangement, Master Lina." The others replied.

"Teacher, we still need to strengthen reconnaissance and find out the exact number of the enemy in order to effectively respond." Colin said.

"Well, do the rest of you have any other opinions?"

Everyone shook their heads to indicate no.

"Then shrink the troops. Except for the necessary reconnaissance personnel on the periphery, all will be withdrawn to the vicinity of the base. Wizards, pay attention to the energy reserves of the two wizard towers and airships. The airships can also take off and fight at that time." Lina issued a new combat deployment.

"Teacher, I want to perform reconnaissance missions." Colin spoke again.

"Teacher, I want to go too." Falsa also said hurriedly.

Lina looked at her two disciples and was very pleased that she could still rely on her own people at critical times.

"Falsa, don't go. You don't have a flying pet, so it's not suitable. If you want to go, Colin, you must be careful and take your own safety as the first priority."

"I will, teacher." Colin responded.

Lina and others arranged some other details and ended this strategic deployment meeting.

...

Wizard Tower Sixth Floor, Colin and the other two's lounge.

"You are the only one showing off your ability, and no one else is speaking. You seem to be the best?" Edith said after the meeting.

"Don't we have Charles? If we can end the war earlier, can we distribute the benefits earlier? Besides, whoever completes more tasks will get more benefits in the end. I need to support a big family, and I also want to get more rewards." Colin explained with a smile.

"Although there are no level 2 creatures in that canyon, I heard that a lot of level 1 creatures have gathered. You must be careful." Edith reminded again.

"I'll go with you." Connie said.

"Why are you going to cause trouble? I'm enough. I can fight and run."

"Don't forget, my wind magic can increase Charles' speed, which can be used whether attacking or retreating."

"It doesn't take that much trouble. I won't be too close." Colin still didn't want to take his woman to risk.

"No, Colin, let Connie go with you. She is right. This time is unusual and not a joke. If you can increase your speed a little, you may be able to get rid of the other party. You can go together." Edith suggested.

Colin looked at Edith, then at Connie, and finally agreed reluctantly.

…

Acacia plane, Rock Crack Canyon.

“Draenei leader, we only have 3,000 warriors. If we lose again this time, our tribe will be finished.” Goblin Griphook said.

“Then what do you say? Can you leave? Do you dare to leave?” Draenei asked Griphook.

“I think we need to keep some seeds of the tribe, otherwise if everyone dies in the war, who will protect our tribe?” Griphook swallowed and said.

“Huh? You want to be a deserter?” Draenei asked suspiciously.

"No, no, Chief, listen to me, you also participated in the last battle, the alien races on the opposite side were so cruel that they even ate the bodies of the dead in battle. Only the wasps can compete with them in this regard. They are so cruel."

"In the final analysis, they are just afraid."

"Chief, think about it, if we lose, everything will be over for us. Even if we win, our life will not be much better."

"What do you want to say?" Vickers asked the doubts in the heart of the Draenei.

Griphook looked around and saw that there was no one else around, so he whispered: "We can surrender, so we don't have to fight desperately."

"Do you want to die? You dare to betray the tribe." Draenei cursed in an angry voice.

"No, Chief, please be patient and listen to my analysis. In this situation, even if most people are gathered, someone has to be cannon fodder.

We who have lost most of the tribal warriors must be the first echelon. Do you think we can survive? If we all die, the wives, daughters and family members in the tribe will definitely be taken advantage of by other goblins.

Even if we survive by chance, how many people will be left in the end? We will definitely not be able to save the tribe. In the end, it will be merged by other tribes. What will happen in the future?"

"Even if we surrender, there is no guarantee that we will live better than now." Draenei said calmly.

"So, we have to take a gamble. The worst that can happen is death. If the other party can accept us, maybe we can lead other goblins and make our tribe grow stronger."

Draenei and Vickers looked at each other and couldn't help but exclaimed, "Hey, your ideas are really amazing. It's worth a try."

"Hehe, I just analyzed it casually. I didn't discuss it with you two." Griphook touched his head and said with a smile.

"Well, since we have decided, we must make plans early. While the personnel are in chaos and we are on the periphery, we will run away tonight, but we have to send someone back to the tribe to pass the message."

"I'll go. I'm a small target alone, and it's not easy to be discovered when I return to the tribe." Although Vickers also agreed with Griphook's idea, he felt that the situation was not clear yet, so he went back to the tribe to send a message first. In this way, he could attack or defend, and he would not suffer any loss.

"Okay, let's do it this way. You go back to the tribe first, and Griphook and I will prepare and take some people away tonight." Draenei finally made up his mind.
