Public trial?You deserve it too!

[No... Teacher, the elves have been beaten to the point of desperation. The entire territory is locked up by the empire, and there is no way to enter the sky. Under such circumstances, you can actually make a declaration of inevitable victory?What kind of magic is this? 】

"Tsk, what you say is really contemptuous."

Claude tilted his head and grinned slightly at the corner of his mouth.

An extremely confident smile.

"Only human beings can kill monsters. Similarly, only human beings can break through the impasse—because we are the race that will continue to struggle until the last moment!"

【…】

The system looked at Claude in a daze. For the first time, he... She felt that this man was really above her.

"Open the map."

The holographic map immediately spread out in front of Claude.

"Okay."

The system watched as Claude swiped his finger across the map, crossed a small plain from the border between the elves and Wallachia, and slid north to the Transylvania Mountains in Wallachia, and then along the The mountains continue to the north, connecting the upper Carpathians, all the way west, reaching the Sudeten Mountains, and then west, staying on the vast forests of the Hesse region.

[This... this is! 】

"Yes, this is the formula that belongs to the elves and leads to victory."

Claude spit out these words faintly.

"These mountains are completely connected, from Wallachia to the hinterland of the empire. And at the foot of these mountains is the real essence of the empire, food production areas, densely populated areas, mine collection...all are here, The straight-line distance between the imperial capital Rome and the Sudeten Mountains is only [-] kilometers.”

"As long as the elves gather enough combat power, they will penetrate Wallachia in one battle, and send tens of thousands of elf troops into the Transylvanian Mountains, and advance along this interspersed route, burning the flames of war to The heart of the empire, then the entire battle situation will be overturned!"

Learn from me: Chapter 169 Chapter 150 [-] You can let me die

The system was stunned, she stared blankly at the map, deducing the situation of the battle in disbelief.

These elves don't need to go head-to-head with the imperial knights, as long as they stay in the mountains and forests to carry out guerrilla attacks, it is enough to make the emperor sleepless.By that time, the empire will be passively beaten everywhere, because the elves can attack at will, and the empire cannot defend everything, destroying crops, attacking mines, and threatening roads. Everything they did on the Eastern Front can be copied. come over.

From then on, the plague of elves is no longer tightly limited to the Eastern Front. Countless civilians who have never seen elves will use their lives and blood to remember this species—because the empire cannot, nor can it, be like the Eastern Front. The land is filled with fortresses to fight against the harassment of these elves, and these elves, relying solely on civilians and infantry, cannot resist the terrifying army of these knights per capita.

And Claude's voice continued.

"The real advantage of the elves is that their race is much stronger individually than humans, and most importantly, their army's adaptability to nature-as long as there are forests, they can have food, They can have shelter; as long as there is magic, they can have weapons and they can be a threat."

"The plant magic of the elves can be used to disrupt farming, to stimulate the potential of seeds, and then cut off the supply of magic power. The food supply of the empire will inevitably be terribly affected. These several interconnected mountains, and almost no large-scale development The forest will become their natural shelter. And by plundering these rich villages and small towns in the empire, it is enough to meet their supply needs when they intersperse in the early stage."

The system fell silent. At the foot of these mountains, more than half of the empire's grain production is located. At the same time, the Silesian mining area, one of the two large iron mining areas owned by the empire, is located in the Sudeten Mountains.It can be said that if the elves do this, this army alone is enough to threaten half of the war potential of the empire, not to mention that because of traffic problems, the transportation lines between the east and the north must be detoured, and the food loss on the road will also be doubled Increase.

【This... This is the method of the elves' comeback... put the battle field in the elite area of ​​the empire, and turn it into ruins, so that in terms of national power consumption, both sides will change their shape...】

"I said a long time ago that things like war are always based on one's own strengths and attacking the enemy's weaknesses. Every plan of mine is arranged around this theme—and so is the empire, so it is here In foreign wars, there is no disadvantage.”

Claude pulled a sneering smile from the corner of his mouth.

"But look at what the elves are doing? The elf king who is praised for being both wise and brave is nothing more than a word. He thinks that time is on his side-but time is always neutral, it only stands In the middle. So when the empire dragged the war into the quagmire, the elves quickly lost their ability to resist, because when things like lifespan were no longer an advantage they could take advantage of, the stupid nature of the elf king would undoubtedly be revealed."

Claude knocked on the battle zone in the eastern part of the empire disdainfully.

"Since you can fight without a rear, why do you want to be limited to fighting on your own land? Since you have already thought of using the harassment war to delay the empire's summer offensive, why didn't you think of entering the empire's territory and burning the war on the opponent's land?"

[So actually... the elves should go to change homes? 】

"Correct, if the elves want to fight the empire, they should change their homes forcefully. No matter what humans do, just say one word - don't care! Change homes by force!"

Claude pointed to the route on the map.

"Any war can never be won by defense alone. You must know when to defend, when to attack, and when to change home. Yes, they can't take down the imperial capital, but why do they want to fight? The imperial capital? Facing a powerful empire, imagining that taking the capital will force it to collapse, this is the most stupid behavior—the two unlucky people who had such an idea back then, one was exiled and the other was burned."

"Why is the urbanization of the empire always unfavorable? It is because wars always take place in other people's territories, and one's own land can always develop safely. Once the elves burn the flames of war into the heart of an empire that has not been warred for hundreds of years, the horrors that can be caused The loss cannot be made up overnight, and even if the empire uses all the cards accumulated in the war here, it may not be able to recover from it. Because from then on, the war took place within the empire's territory!"

【…】

"As for the imperial capital... this army only needs to show its presence in the vicinity. Any emperor who knows that there is a large army two hundred kilometers away from the imperial capital will definitely have trouble sleeping and eating. It is impossible to leave him alone, whether it is for safety reasons or for his own face, he has to do it."

Claude covered the empire with both hands, and then retracted his fingers.

"To do this kind of thing, all the mobile forces of the empire must be invested, and even a large number of troops must be drawn from the frontier army. In this way, the posture of the empire will change from attacking from all sides to being beaten from all sides, because the troops are no longer strong. If it is enough to support the commander there, and use tactical means to suppress the opponent, this will immediately relieve the enemy. Under the balance of each other, once the empire fails to wipe out this army at the fastest speed, then he will will forever lose the chance to conquer the continent."

[This strategy... I don't think even you can handle it, right? 】

"It's very difficult to deal with, but relying on the current cards of the empire, it's not impossible to play. But like I said, I need time, and the extension of time means the loss of the empire's national strength-this is the fatal method It is impossible for me to encircle and suppress this elf army while at the same time ensuring the suppression of the enemies all around, the opponent is breathing, but we are being consumed."

Claude tapped his fingers on the table, then smiled softly.

"However, don't scare yourself. I've already said that I calculated it based on bringing myself in. Apart from me, no matter who the elves are in power or become king, it is impossible to carry out this plan."

【why? 】

"Because no one would have thought of it. It can even be said that if I hadn't stood on the shoulders of giants, I would never have been able to think of such a strategy--as expected, compared to the hunk from the sky, I would at most be a copy of the answer, after all My approach is equivalent to solving problems with formulas, and the people who really write out the formulas are the most powerful."

Claude exclaimed.

"When I look at this plan and its effects in the future, the shock I feel can't be described in words—if I can come up with this kind of grand strategy to reverse the situation, you can kill me, As long as I can make such an ultimate plan, I feel that this life is worthwhile."

[But what if? 】

"There is no chance. The reason is very simple. Those elves, one counts as one, are all narrow-minded racial chauvinists."

Claude sneered.

"This plan is tantamount to letting a race of elves bear all the pressure of the empire, throwing a large number of elite troops into the hinterland of the empire, and carrying out a life-or-death transition—with the attitude of the elves king and human beings, it is absolutely impossible to do this sort of thing."

【...That's true, but if the elves fight against the empire alone, will he make such a choice?After all, even if facing the empire alone, such tactics can cause huge damage, right?It is even possible to overthrow the empire one-on-one. 】

"Well, it seems that you have forgotten, what you said before, my shortcomings in planning—"

The young man laughed, with ridicule in his voice.

"Remember? You once told me that when I was doing strategy, I subconsciously acted under the lights?"

[You always put the country above the individual... because you think from the will of the whole country, not from the perspective of an emperor or a king. 】

"That's right, that's why I said, you only need to put a fuse on the elf's behavior - because the king of the elves would never dare to make such a decision!"

Claude seemed quite at ease.

"The reason is very simple. To achieve this, the Elf King must gather the most powerful army of the entire elves, penetrate Wallachia, and then send this strongest army into the hinterland of the empire to disturb the situation—— How dare he!"

"We are clear about the political structure of the elves. Under the king of the elves, each of the elders has great strength, and each has its own army and territory. Perhaps in the face of the empire's attack, they are still We can unite as one, but when it comes to attacking—look at the Business Alliance, everyone will want to preserve their strength and then reap the benefits.”

There was an indescribable sarcasm in Claude's eyes.

"And with the character of the Elf King, how could there be someone so trustworthy that he would hand over the command of the most elite army to him, out of his control and sight, leave the country, and go to the world thousands of miles away? Do you want to fight somewhere? The emperor's paranoia will make him cancel this plan by himself."

[So, the meaning of the fuse is to ensure that the elves do not attack the Wallachia region? 】

"correct!"

Claude affirmed with a smile.

"I don't know the plan of the Holy Kingdom, but I know that if they are really going to destroy the empire, then the wars in all directions must be fought at the same time, so as to involve the empire to the greatest extent—that's why I said, let the Wallachians Rebellion, but keeping Wallachia in the hands of the Theocracy is in my interest."

"There are only two routes for the elves to attack, the north and the east. And because the Theocracy and the elves are allies, the elves will not attack Wallachia in the east—but if Wallachia It is completely under the control of the Theocracy, and once the elves pass by, I will know nothing, so I need Gorman and the others to bring people back."

【In that case, if the elves go east, you will know it, and you can deal with it in advance. 】

"That's right, and this can be regarded as playing a small game of mind - with the elves' dislike of humans and their selfish temperament, even if the Theocracy invites them to go east, they will not be able to face such a situation. It will definitely not advance. Because at that time Wallachia was not only in chaos internally, but also many imperial troops would be stationed on its borders. The elves would be worried that the Theocracy wanted to use them as knives to quell chaos and break through the empire's defenses, so Will definitely refuse, and then continue to attack northward in self-righteousness, and retake their lost territory."

Claude narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Although the Theocracy has a good grasp of people's hearts, I have some experience in playing with people's hearts."

【...You call your means 'some experience in manipulating people's hearts'? 】

"Ahem... a little understanding, a little understanding."

The young man said modestly.

"In short, no matter how far they attack north, I can't sleep with joy, because this kind of behavior is really stupid-such behavior means that when the empire is facing Armageddon, the elves are still far away The eastern front of the main battlefield, which is at least thousands of miles away from the battle areas of the Empire and the Church. They chose to make themselves a bystander at the decisive moment of history, waiting to be defeated by the Empire."

[That's right, because they can't defend the territory they got at all. As long as they can't confront the knights of the empire, it doesn't make sense for the elves to occupy more land—not to mention their population is declining, and the land that is suddenly expanding Nothing more than weakening their own strength. 】

"Exactly, that's why I said, you don't need to scare yourself. The elves' stupid foreign policy will only drive them into hopelessness, and what's even more ridiculous is that they are so stupid that they don't want to Know nothing about it.”

Claude picked up the milk leisurely and drank it down.

"Okay, today's temporary lecture is over, let me relax now, I hope Randolph and Irwin, the two local snakes in the imperial capital, can know something interesting - if I can beat a few people to vent my anger The depressed mood brought over from the manor would be better."

----------------------------------------------

I thought for a while, if I don't explain why Claude supports the restoration of the country here, then the answer may have to be held until the beginning of the world war.

——But such a long foreshadowing is that few people will remember it.

A reader friend said it was right. I wrote online articles, and the update frequency is not high. Readers will not have a deep memory of the previous ones, so the shorter the foreshadowing, the better. After all, it is not a book. Books with more than a dozen or 20 words can be read in a short period of time with concentrated attention, and you can see the buried foreshadowing bit by bit.

So I explained it directly, so that everyone can understand it, and because it was written in one go, it was written faster, so it can be regarded as paying back one update, and I still owe 23.

"Erwin, long time no see."

Claude hugged the boy affectionately.

"It's really been a long time, and I even feel that my body has become thinner."

Erwin said with a smile.

"You reconciled with your father?"

"Well, I said that I would like to learn economics from him, and he also recognized my wish. At least we can communicate normally."

The boy shrugged and looked at the stranger.

"Uh...Charles? Charles Breton?"

"Don't call me the last name, my name is Charles."

The man smiled and came up to shake hands.

"I just hope you don't mind me taking your place."

"How could it be? I've always been worried that if I gave up halfway, it would cause problems for the entire 107th team. I'm grateful that you can fill in my vacancy."

Erwin stretched out his hand and held each other tightly.

"Everyone is here, so where should we go next?"

Randolph said with a smile.

"I don't know, I'm a country bumpkin from out of town, just waiting for you to take me to enjoy the nightlife of the imperial capital."

Georgi spread his hands, and directly opened his arms, waiting for the boss to take him.

"It's the same for me. I have been to Brunhildstrasse in the imperial capital, and I have lived in the manor of His Royal Highness Ludwig for the rest of the time, so I am not familiar with it at all-oh, I have also been to the imperial palace."

Claude did the same.

The remaining three looked at each other.

"I only know the ones in the lower city. You know, I can't hang out with noble gentlemen."

Charles motioned them not to look at him.

"I only know which restaurant and which dish are delicious. After all, my dad never takes me to play in other places."

Erwin blinked innocently.

"I know a lot, but that kind of place is not very suitable for us."

Randolph said that their family had a very strict family education. Although he knew the locations of the golden caves in the imperial capital, he didn't dare to go, not to mention that there was a princess's fiancée among them, unless Randolph wanted to be killed by them. The old man is hanging from a tree to dry, otherwise he wouldn't dare to say this.

"...so the five of us can't even come up with a map?"

"Boss, you are the map."*4

"..."

【…】

"That's how it is. Let's go to dinner with Erwin first, and then follow Shire to the downtown area. I think it's interesting to go to a place where fish and dragons are mixed at night."

Claude made a decision.
