The Witcher: Son of the Planes

Chapter 171: Offense and Defense in Different Positions 1

A new combat order was issued. Ron was responsible for defending the wizard base. The remaining 6 first-level wizards, 20 quasi-level wizard apprentices; 4 first-level knights, 40 quasi-level knight attendants; 40,000 Chilan warriors, and 100,000 slave cannon fodder.

The expeditionary legion was divided into two parts. One part was led by Lina, with 6 wizards, 15 wizard apprentices, 8 first-level knights, 120 quasi-level knight attendants, 100,000 Chilan warriors, 200,000 slave cannon fodder, and 450,000 goblin servants.

The other part was led by the earth knight Derek, with 8 wizards, 25 wizard apprentices, 4 first-level knights, 45 quasi-level knight attendants, 2 tauren first-level warriors, 76 tauren warriors, 150,000 Chilan warriors, 150,000 slave cannon fodder, and 400,000 goblin servants.

At the same time, there were two airships accompanying the two legions.

As soon as they left the wizard base, the two legions went their separate ways. One went north and then turned west to the center, and the other went west and then turned north to the center. Finally, the two joined to besiege the central plane guardian.

As for other directions, it would not be too late to slowly conquer them after killing the plane guardian.

It should be said that with this distribution, even if they face the sudden attack of the opponent's second-level guardian, they are still capable of fighting. If they cannot win, they can still hold on and wait for help.

Even if they encounter a second-level acacia giant tree, with the support of the airship, they can deploy high-level combat forces to that battlefield in a short time.

Colin originally wanted to follow his teacher, but Derek seemed to value Colin very much. The last first kill left a deep impression on Derek. This disciple of Lina is very powerful, so it is better to follow him, so he asked Lina directly.

Once Colin went there, his family and his minotaur friend also wanted to follow, which is why Derek assigned the minotaur.

It is worth mentioning that Griphook also followed Colin as the commander of the vassal army.

Griphook has always been in awe of Colin, the wizard, especially after following Colin. Now he can be the commander of 400,000 vassal troops. This is something he has never thought of in his decades of life. Even the Draenei chieftain has only led a tribe of 100,000 people.

If he can follow Lord Colin to make merit this time and recruit a large number of goblins again, he may be able to sit in a higher position after the war.

Colin will not consider Griphook's YY thoughts. He considers more about how much merit he can get in this overall battle to conquer the acacia plane, and how many resources he can get in the end. This is his core interest in participating in this plane war.

The direction of Colin and his team's march is not the direction of the rock crevice canyon, but the direction where he first met Griphook and his team last time.

More than ten days later, Derek and Colin's legion arrived at the city where Griphook's tribe gathered.

After two days of rest, Vickers, who had joined the vassal army, continued to march westward.

The march along the way can be said to be overwhelming, and there was no organized opponent at all, especially with the demonstration of the goblin vassal army, and many small groups of goblins were incorporated along the way.

Faced with a huge number of troops, Derek would not mindlessly supply them with free food all the time, and all the cities along the way were "looted".

Griphook also said at the right time that everything was to overthrow the brutal rule of the acacia giant tree, and it was natural for the goblins to contribute some military rations.

There were big cities, small cities, and villages in the area where goblins gathered. After several mobilizations, the young goblins had been transferred, and some of them concentrated near the rock crevice canyon had died, and some had joined the vassal army.

Those who were farther away had received new instructions and began to migrate to the center of the plane. The older goblins were unwilling to leave, and they happened to run into Derek's army.

In addition to recruiting goblin tribes along the way, for strategic reasons, the old, weak, sick and disabled goblins were not harmed. In order to show their respect for the goblins, the slave army was strictly ordered not to "harm" the goblins unless they encountered resistance.

After only passing through the area of ​​three cities, the goblin servant army led by Griphook has grown from 400,000 before departure to 450,000, and this is because all the young people have been withdrawn.

Colin did not feel much about the increase in the population. After seeing the huge population base of the wizard world, he could only sigh that the population of this micro-plane was still too small. The entire plane added up, not even as many as the population of a certain island country in his previous life.

Although the reconnaissance efforts of the legion's periphery were also increased, Derek thought of some problems because of the long-term safety and pressure-free since the departure. After contacting Lina, the same situation was encountered there.

After passing through several cities, this situation became more prominent. Griphook took the initiative to lead people to investigate and confirmed the other party's order to concentrate in the center of the plane.

Based on the current situation, Derek and Lina stayed for half a day and contacted Ron who was far away in the wizard base. The three of them unanimously decided to speed up the pace and fight the decisive battle in advance.

With the new strategic deployment, cities that are not on the route will no longer be deliberately "looted". Only cities on the original route plan will "contribute" their own strength to overthrow the rule of the acacia tree.

However, one person did more, that is Griphook. He knew that once the rule of the acacia tree was overthrown, the wizards would definitely launch new agents, so whoever made the greatest contribution would have the possibility of becoming an agent.

These days as the commander-in-chief, Griphook has never enjoyed a comfortable life since he was born, so he cherishes everything now. Although the army's itinerary has been fixed, Griphook has sent his people to other areas to continue to recruit goblins from other tribes.

It cannot be said that there is no effect, but it can be said that the effect is really good. Although it is not clear how these foreign tribes will treat the goblin tribe in the future, seeing that some people have risen up to resist, everyone is still "willing" to contribute to overthrowing the rule of the acacia giant tree and the Kanin wasp.

When Derek and Colin had traveled more than half of the original journey, Griphook ran to report to Colin, claiming that he had recruited more than 100,000 goblins.

Colin once again recognized Griphook's achievements, and Griphook's performance also refreshed Colin's cognition. Who said that the natives are ignorant and have no vision? Griphook is obviously ambitious and has begun to plan for the future.

Three months later, Derek's army and Lina's army met in the original area. This place is about 200 kilometers away from the center of the plane. According to the marching speed, it will take at most eight days to reach the designated battlefield.

The peace and no war along the way made Colin feel a little bored. If he had known that it would be so smooth, wouldn't he have joined forces and marched directly here?

However, money can't buy early knowledge. Not to mention the nearly 400,000 extra servant troops now, at least the military rations "contributed" by the goblin tribes along the way can be provided to the slave army in addition to the goblin servant army. It is difficult to say the gains and losses.
