Regarding the situation on the front line, Iron Axe and Edith have deduced hundreds of times.
The conclusion is that before the personnel and equipment are ready, it is difficult for the First Army to take the initiative and can only focus on defense; even if all the troops are present, they must fight flexibly and try their best to find opportunities for the enemy's main force to be annihilated with one blow. Once dragged into a dogfight in the red mist area, the situation will become extremely unfavorable.
"According to Taquila's information, the red fog of the obelisk will eventually spread to most of the wolf's heart," Iron Axe pointed to the red arc on the map, "so our defense line will be stretched more than ever. Considering the early warning and preparation time, there are four cities near the arc that are suitable as the current defensive strongholds - from east to west, they are Jinshiling, Fengxiaobao, Xishacheng and Shenchiwan."
These four cities are connected to form a broken line across the heart of the wolf, echoing the future red fog area.
"But now the First Army does not have enough troops to defend four places at the same time, so it can only focus on defense. And the most important strongholds are undoubtedly Shenchi Bay and Xisha City - they are horns of each other, and they are located in the Hongwu District. At the apex, it is less than 50 kilometers away from the enemy's front, and if it falls, the devil will have the opportunity to directly threaten the cage mountain."
"Especially Shenchi Bay." Dawn Chenguang added, "It is the closest port to Lung Mountain in Langxin, and now 30% of Neverwinter's supplies need to be transported through it. Losing Shenchi Bay means that the speed of assembly will be greatly delayed. After that, the consequences will be unimaginable.”
"It doesn't need to be so euphemistic," Edith said generously, "If the devil attacks Shenchiwan now, then we have already lost half of the battle of divine will. Fortunately, the enemy may also encounter problems in the hands of people. - After all, the obelisk is built on the spine of the continent, and it is not an easy task to keep the transportation smooth."
Probably only Beidi Pearl dared to speak out the word "defeat" in such a meeting, Iron Axe coughed helplessly, "In short, we might as well assume that the devil has also encountered the same problem as us, and is currently busy in the mountains. Open up a 'shortcut'. Of course, no matter what the real reason is, the First Army can't miss this opportunity - at least until the north-south artery is penetrated, neither city can afford to lose."
He paused, then said, "At present, there are 3,000 troops stationed in Shenchi Bay and Xisha City, and trenches and permanent fortifications are also under construction. In addition, I have arranged a reserve team of 1,000 people, located in Shenchi Bay and Xisha City. The rear of the two cities can support the front line at any time. However, this is still not enough insurance. I hope that Miss Sylvie can provide investigation and early warning for Shenchiwan as in the past, while Miss Lightning and Maisie are in charge of the other one."
"I understand."
"no problem."
"Goo!"
The three responded at the same time.
"As for Jinshiling and Fengxiaobao, I have each arranged a team of 500 people to guard them, but these two cities are far from the Red Mist area, so it is unlikely that the devil wants to launch a surprise attack. Even if there is, it is inevitable. The main thing is to fear beasts." Iron Axe gave Tilly a military salute, "Therefore, please ask your Royal Highness to take charge of the air security in this area."
Tilly nodded, "Don't worry, the Aerial Knights were born to fight against the fearful beasts."
"The last is the Grand Duke Island." Iron Axe pointed to a large island on the east side of the map. "Although it will eventually be shrouded in red fog, it still has a very high strategic value. Being disconnected from the land means that it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is necessary to cross a strait of two or three kilometers to land on the island. Whether those spider demons are able to cross the river is another question. The flying terror beasts can come and go freely, but their ability to attack fortifications is limited, and it will not cause too much trouble for fortifications such as bunkers. ."
"As long as Dagong Island is in our hands, Shenchi Bay below it will be much safer. Similarly, it can also be used as a dagger across the enemy's waist - if a cannon is set up in the city, it can completely cover the entire beachhead and land within ten kilometers."
"But it's always the red fog area..." Agatha said worriedly.
"This point has also been considered by the staff," Beidi Pearl took up the topic, "so the number of guards on the island is set at 500. Even if it is difficult to hold on to the desperate attack of the devil, Shenchiwan can send a ship immediately. There is no evidence yet that the enemy also has a strong fleet at sea.”
"That... can I mention something?" Wendy said.
"Please say."
"I have stayed in the old holy city monastery for more than ten years, so I remember that whether it is Wolf Heart or Eternal Winter, there are several roads leading directly under the Hermes Plateau. Especially the latter, most of which are located between the mountains of despair. Is it possible for the devil to use these mountain trails to raid Hermes? After all, there are divine stone veins stored there."
Wendy's words caused a lot of discussion.
There is no doubt that once the devil erects an obelisk in the middle of the four kingdoms, it will be far more deadly than a stronghold on the fertile plains. The red mist pouring down from the plateau will engulf the last corner of the continent, and mankind will no longer have a place to hide.
"It is indeed possible, but it is not easy to achieve." Edith's tone added a hint of approval, "Ignoring the last two battles of divine will, the devil can only build one obelisk at a time, first of all The distance does not allow them to dispatch a large number of troops to cross the desperate mountains and head to the Hermes Plateau. These mountain trails are not secret, and they can be monitored by setting up a few reconnaissance outposts. Once their actions are exposed, the enemy will be trapped in extreme passive situation."
"So even if the devil wants to attack the new holy city, at best they can only act as an elite team like they did when they attacked the Hidden Forest in the past, and even if they reach Hermes, they can't quickly establish an obelisk. The stele is here. Besides, Cold Wind Ridge is only a step away from the plateau, so the chances of them wanting to erect an obelisk under the eyes of Greycastle are extremely slim.”
"It turns out that the staff has already considered it," Wendy breathed a sigh of relief, "that way I can feel at ease."
"The layout of the First Army's front line is roughly like this," Iron Axe concluded, "and we are trying to find out the whereabouts of the devil. To tell the truth, because of the lack of intelligence and lack of manpower, the First Army has been extremely Passive. I am really happy to see you all appear. With your help, these problems can finally be made up to some extent. When the army is ready and the information is sufficient, it is time for us to launch a counterattack!"
Next is the specific distribution of the witches.
For example, Ye Ye stayed in the cage mountain, and together with Lian, transformed this border mountain full of traps.
Andrea, Sha Wei and the others went to Shenchi Bay. For the battle witches, wherever they were on the front lines, they were there.
Hummingbird and Moriel joined the logistics team, which temporarily increased the loading and unloading efficiency of the harbor terminal.
Echo even acted as an ambassador of condolences, using singing to revive the morale of the soldiers.
In this busy and tense preparation work, the autumn finished the last journey.
On the first day of winter, the sun did not rise as usual, and scattered snowflakes floated in the sky.
The first demon moon after the divine will came into the world came.
