In addition to the summary of the decisive battle, the General Staff Department also made a preliminary plan for the third battle of divine will in the future. .
Although the intention of the enemy's attack is still unclear, one thing is certain, no matter which direction the devil attacks, Taquila should not give up. As a nail nailed to the fertile plain, it can not only restrain the expansion of the devil, but also the cornerstone of Neverwinter City's expansion into a wider field. As long as Taquila was in the hands of humans, there would be no danger of the red mist in the northwest of Graycastle.
Therefore, it is still necessary to restore the holy city that has been abandoned for hundreds of years into a frontier fortress.
If the main force of the devil is still attacking from the fertile plains, then what the First Army needs to do is to strengthen the defense of the railway line to prevent the enemy from cutting off the supply line while taking the initiative to attack its Red Mist outpost. The entire strategic plan is basically the same as that of Operation Torch. Although the pressure is huge, but after all, there is an experience, as long as it can withstand, the victory of mankind is just around the corner.
To describe it simply, it is similar to a set of emoticons that Roland often saw in later generations: Don't be a coward, just do it! If you win, cough, cough, or lose, go fishing in the sea. All in all, just do your best.
The problem is with Wolfheart and Everwinter in the northeast.
If the enemy really enters the hinterland of the human kingdom from the direction of the continental spine, fighting will become a very troublesome problem. The wolf heart has many hills, and the eternal winter is short of rivers. In addition, there are also the kingdom of dawn and two mountains in the middle. Spreading to the north of the mainland cannot be achieved in a short period of time, and the two major engineering difficulties of tunnels and bridges required to cross natural dangers cannot be solved technically.
At the same time, it is impossible for the First Army to rely on the local nobles to provide logistical support for them. After the implementation of the population plan, they will inevitably have a bad relationship with Graycastle. At that time, let alone help, it will not be surprising to stab them in the back. Therefore, this part of the work can only be done by the army itself.
From this point of view, the only reliable mode of transportation is sea freight. The problem is that the seaport cities are concentrated on the east coast of the mainland, which is not conducive to the development of the defense line. Once the devil makes dumplings, there is no way to retreat. It is good to hold on. If it falls, the loss will be quite heavy.
In addition, in addition to fighting the devil, the First Army had to protect and evacuate the people. Compared with the endless and uninhabited fertile plains, fighting in other countries had too much uncertainty. Because of this, in the planning of the General Staff Department, there was not even a plan involving the north, only this possibility was mentioned. Even in the previous meeting, he noticed that Edith had a dark circle on her face.
Since being deceived by Ursruk's strategy, the Pearl of the North seems to be more determined to win.
Roland put down all the reports and sighed lightly.
For him, it is natural to hope that the devil will continue to attack from the Fertile Plains, but until the Lightning and Taquila detection teams get the exact information, this is by no means a matter of personal preference. Rather than obsessing over your enemy's choices, it's more effective to work your own way to improve your win rate.
Thinking of this, he stood up.
"Your Majesty?" Nightingale asked with the dried fish in her mouth.
"Come with me on a trip to the new research institute," Roland said slowly. "It's time to see how far the Shining Project has progressed."
…
Neverwinter, North Slope Laboratory.
"Master Anna"
As soon as Lucia White spoke, she was interrupted by Anna, "I said, don't call me your lord."
"Yes... I couldn't help shouting when I thought that you were the queen." She stuck out her tongue embarrassedly and put down the metal block in her hand, "I have all the materials you need, if nothing else... "
"Although I am the queen, you are also my partner," Anna smiled and stepped forward. "Are you going to the new laboratory?"
Lucia nodded vigorously, "Well, it's almost time."
"Then go, be careful on the road." Anna sent her to the gate of the courtyard. "If you run out of magic power or have time to spare, come and accompany me."
"I will!" Lucia waved her hand, turned and ran down the mountain road.
Her work arrangement is one of the most variable in the Witch League. She often needs to travel to and from the chemical laboratory, the mine furnace area, and the North Slope backyard. Before the new laboratory was established, there was basically no fixed place. She spends most of these places in the backyard of the North Slope. According to Anna's ideas and requirements, she fuses high-quality alloys, and then watches the other party cut pieces of metal ingots into precise parts. This process can always give her something. An indescribable sense of satisfaction.
Probably because I feel that this world is getting better and better, and it has its own power in it, right
After all, I came to Neverwinter only to cure my sister's evil epidemic. I didn't expect that in the end, not only did she find a place for the two sisters, but she also lived a life like returning home. To be honest, Lucia was a little uneasy at first. It's like I owe you a lot. But now, she can also become one of the contributors, assisting Her Royal Highness Anna and the chief alchemist to build this increasingly rich city, and anxiety has gradually turned into fulfillment and pride.
And the more she got along with Anna, the more respect Lucia could feel in her heart. She never thought that a witch could play such a big role, bringing earth-shaking changes to the city alone. She admired the other party's knowledge, talent, and concentration when he put into work. If Nightingale was the person she trusted the most, then His Royal Highness Anna was the person she most wanted to be.
And now, she seems to see such an opportunity.
Since His Majesty built a brand-new laboratory on the banks of the Chishui River, she also has a fixed place of her own. Listening to His Majesty, this work is related to the fate of all mankind. If everything goes well in the experiment, what she has done will likely become the biggest trump card in the battle of divine will.
Thinking of this, Lucia's footsteps couldn't help but brisk.
After crossing the Chishui Bridge and continuing to go south along a wide concrete road for several hundred meters, a row of towering walls appeared in front of her. Unlike those factories where people come and go, this place is located between industrial areas and farmland, and the roar of machines can hardly be heard. The shade of trees on both sides of the road cast a shade on the ground. Although it has entered autumn, the leaves above are still lush and lush. The occasional bird calls not only do not appear noisy, but instead highlight the quietness and tranquility of the place.
From the surrounding environment alone, it is more like a residential area than a laboratory or something.
However, the heavily armed guards outside the gate prove that this is not an ordinary courtyard.
When Lucia walked towards the courtyard door, the soldier raised his hand and saluted her, turned and pushed open the door.
And this is just the first level.
The defense inside is even tighter. Walls divide the compound into several areas. Except for a few people, the rest of the people must verify their identities and be accompanied by guards.
Lucia is naturally one of the former.
She smiled and greeted the soldiers, and after passing through several levels, she finally came to a white-painted brick building.
The house looks similar to an ordinary residential building. There are still many creepers growing on the wall. The only difference is that there is a golden plaque on the door with several large characters engraved on it.
Neverwinter Institute of High Energy Physics.
