Graycastle, Neverwinter.
Roland was sitting at his desk, answering calls from the frontline of the Fertile Plains.
Of course, it is not completely accurate to say that it is the front line. In terms of the attenuation speed of the signal, at most, it is enough for the call between Neverwinter and Changge. Before the mid-range amplifier was invented, this was also the limit distance for hand-cranked telephone communication. .
But that doesn't mean the limit can't be broken.
The easiest way is to let Ye Zi act as a "transiter". In the state of the heart of the forest, her consciousness can cover the entire controlled hidden forest, which means that the speed of transmitting information is even lightning that flies at the speed of sound. above. The front line only needs to call Ye Ye, and then Ye Ye calls and relays it to Roland. In a sense, it can be regarded as real-time communication.
"The current situation is relatively smooth," Ye Zi said, imitating the tone of an iron axe, pressing down his voice, "As you expected, the devil launched several sabotage attacks on the railway tracks, but the impact on logistics and transportation was not great. In the absence of spider demons, they can only drop to the vicinity of the track, use brute force to displace it, and have to evacuate before the Heihe gets close, and without the need to replace the rails, the engineering department will soon be able to fix it. The track of destruction."
"It seems that the armored train has played its due role."
"Indeed, Your Majesty. It can be used as a small fortress, whether for maneuvering rescue or maintaining the railway. The only regret is that the number of trains is still too small. If possible, I hope that between each station, it can be Arrange for a group of Heihe."
"It's easy to get what you want," Roland couldn't help grinning. "In addition to armored trains, freight trains must continue to be produced, and this part of the work is still inseparable from witches. It's good to be able to provide two now. Move forward and try to get the overall offensive set up by midsummer."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Ye Ye Weng replied in a loud voice.
Actually... you don't have to imitate the nasal sounds.
Roland coughed twice, "By the way, hasn't the devil launched a large-scale attack yet?"
A week ago, he was awakened by Nightingale in the middle of the night. When he heard the news of the night attack on the first army camp, he was really nervous for a while. Fortunately, after Anna told him that the loss was not big, and Edith came forward to stabilize his heart, Roland was relieved.
In fact, fighting in a dark or low-light environment has always been the weakness of the First Army. Failure to observe the target will lead to a significant drop in the killing efficiency of thermal weapons, and tracer bullets have never been mass-produced, and target designation largely relies on witches Ability. Unexpectedly, the devil's first active attack was chosen at night. Not only did he get a thorough understanding of Sylvie's magic eye, but he also realized the nature of gun and artillery attacks, adopted a scattered formation, and even came creeping forward. Fortunately, the enemy has always lacked weapons that can be confronted with it, and the First Army has executed every requirement of emergency combat training well, otherwise the result will not be very good to say.
"If it's an attack like the last night attack, there is really no sign of it," Ye Zi said, "Miss Sylvie spends an hour or two every day to check the necessary places in front of the track, and at the same time I will take the Magic Ark or the Seagull for investigation from time to time, at least so far it is safe."
"What did the General Staff say?"
"They think there are two possibilities. One is that they have sensed the change in our side and cannot repeat the old tricks; the other is that the devil's forces are limited and cannot plan two large-scale attacks in a short period of time."
"Really?" Roland thought thoughtfully. In addition to the opponent's amazing learning ability, the last attack that worried him the most was the high-level devil as an assaulter.
And this is not the first time this has happened.
Now that I think about it, Neverwinter City has dealt with this kind of specially evolved devil four times since it met the first high-level devil behind the snow mountain. You must know that hundreds of years ago, high-level devils existed as generals of the army. The Federation only had the opportunity to kill the opponent after dispatching the Holy Blessing Army to defeat the enemy head-on. But now, their status has dropped significantly, while the frequency of appearances has increased significantly, which is really not good news.
An extraordinary army like the God's Punishment Army, which is full of brute force, can also be specifically targeted. If a group of high-level demons with various abilities break into the camp, then you can only pray to the gods for blessing.
Since there is no specific countermeasure, Roland can only think of a universal countermeasure, such as the relentless pursuit of more powerful firepower, and the enemy will be completely wiped out before they initiate action.
"Devils will never sit back and watch their footholds on the fertile plains be threatened by humans, continue to remain vigilant, and don't give them any opportunities to take advantage."
"Understood!" Ye Ye said loudly, then returned to his usual tone, "Your Majesty, Iron Axe has hung up the phone."
"Huh..." Roland exhaled softly, "Then who will report next?"
"It's Karl Vanbert, Minister of Construction."
Ministry of Construction? He was a little surprised. With sufficient materials and manpower, there should not be any difficulties in the project. "Come in."
"Your Majesty," Ye Zi imitated Carl's voice again. Although it was not as difficult to distinguish the true from the false as the echo, but under the ensemble of the swaying branches and the friction of the leaves, there was a similar appearance, "The construction team has encountered some troubles recently. It may require assistance from other departments of the Executive Office."
This girl... won't be addicted.
And what the construction minister wants to report is also very simple. After the night attack, many workers were frightened and their morale dropped significantly. In addition, the construction of the railway is a long project, and many foremen have found that their subordinates are slack. Carr hopes to have a shift change, or to raise morale by calling relatives to meet.
The whole exchange is basically difficult to achieve. After all, not everyone is willing to take risks in pursuit of high remuneration, so Roland focused on the second method, "relatives? I remember that there were seven workers who applied for the construction of the railway. The above are all migrants, and many of them do not have complete families. If the polarization is too obvious, I am afraid it will have a worse impact.”
"I have also considered this, Your Majesty." Ye Zi replied on his behalf, "The railway engineering team issued a handover contract before departure. I think that the handover person specified in the contract may be used instead of relatives. Since I am willing to sacrifice Entrusting everything to the other party, he must be a very important candidate in his mind, and in a sense, it is not an exaggeration to be considered a relative."
"This is a feasible plan." Roland thought for a moment, "That's it, I will arrange for Barov to do it."
