Chapter 805 Conspiracy?
Three-way encirclement
After Lucius finished speaking, the detailed topographic map was immediately filled with three arrows by Griphook Golden Thread, starting from the main peak of Sumir. , the location of the Joint Expeditionary Force of the Holy Religion, and the direction from which he first arrived, all aiming at the Snow Jiuqiu position where everyone is currently located!
As for Goshawk
Well, he didn’t make up anything from Lucius’s analysis. After all, Mo Tan had already laid out the real arrangement in detail two days ago. I sent it to him, and if anything, he looked at the map with his eyes a bit like a chef looking at the fish on the chopping board - calm and sharp.
"My lord!"
Griphook took a step forward and asked Lucius with a horrified expression: "You mean, we have fallen into Sumirfang's trap?!"
< br>Lucius took a breath, narrowed his eyes and nodded: "Although it has not reached that point yet, I have to admit that at least so far, the situation has always been under the control of the enemy."
“This subordinate deserves to die”
The pale middle-aged goblin lowered his head sadly, and the fat on his face kept trembling: “If this subordinate hadn’t noticed the enemy’s conspiracy, If I take everyone to Snow Dove Hill as soon as possible.”
Lucius waved his hand to interrupt him impatiently, and said coldly: "If that were the case, as long as Sumir and the Holy Religion Alliance made a slight detour, you would have been completely wiped out by now. Humph, this is not possible at all. It's just a conspiracy. As long as the red-haired orc is here, even if you can sort out the situation immediately, the best choice is still to escape here. "
Griphook was relieved. He took a breath, and then started to shiver again. The reason was very simple. Although Lucius didn't seem to blame himself, if things were really like what the other party said, then Xuejio Qiu's current situation was undoubtedly extremely dangerous. , if he is not careful, he may be crushed by the enemy's coordinated attack, and he who joined the Whispering Sect for better business does not really want to be crushed.
“Don’t worry.”
But Lucius sat back on the chair again, looked at the fat goblin in front of him who was trembling all over, and sneered: " As I said just now, although the situation is indeed under the control of the enemy, it is only so far. Although the opponent's arrangement is exquisite, it is not foolproof. "
Griphook immediately became energetic and his eyes were clear. Looking at Lucius with a burning look: "What do you mean, sir"
"This game can be broken, but it is not easy to break."
Lucius, who has received all kinds of elite education since he was a child, leaned back calmly on his chair and said slowly while sorting out his thoughts: " You should also have noticed that although the other party currently has a three-way relationship with us, The situation of encirclement, in other words, is to encircle three and miss one. The three directions of encirclement are west, south and east, and the missing is north."
Goshawk's eyes narrowed slightly and he murmured in a low voice. He said: "To the north. Over there at Bale City?"
"That's right, it's me who is talking Over there in the city."
Lucius, whose hearing is comparable to that of Li Lei, I mean Awakening Dragon, nodded slightly, smiled approvingly at Goshawk, and then said solemnly: "In my opinion, they are the only ones. The North was left alone. On the one hand, it was because the combat power that could be mobilized covertly was limited and could not be deployed without attracting our attention. We must pay attention to avoid the surveillance network. On the other hand, if we send a team to blockade the north of Snow Dove Hill, once the situation changes, it will be easy to be directly attacked by us and the Whispering City, so we chose to surround San. One is missing, leaving the north to us.”
The agile Lahuan hammered his hand hard and said in surprise; "If that's the case, then we just need to break out from the north immediately and head towards the direction of Yayu City."
"Everything you can think of."
Lucius interrupted Griphook coldly and hummed: "Do you think the other party will not expect it?"
"This"
Griphook was speechless for a moment. After a while, he said: "But didn't you just say that even if they want to block the north, they can't do it."
"That's right, they can't do it."
Lucius raised his eyebrows, and the corners of his mouth turned up with a sarcastic arc: "But if it is true what you said, we will do it at the time arranged by the other party. Once we set foot on the road paved by the other party, the situation will only become more out of control. Let’s take the simplest example.”
Lucius paused for a moment, while Griphook swallowed nervously. saliva.
“Suppose we choose to break out of the encirclement northward and join up with the side of Yayu City, then the other side will definitely let us pass generously, and then follow up calmly and directly block Yayu City.”
Lu Xiu Siwei raised his eyes slightly and said in a gloomy and cold voice: "At that time, we will lose all the detour space, and we will be completely cut off from the outside world. Even if we will not be at a disadvantage in terms of combat power for the time being, over time, we will be Being trapped in the city and dying is almost certain, your suggestion is to let everyone die!”
When he said the last sentence, Lucius almost yelled at Griphook.
The latter was so shocked by the opponent's momentum that he took several steps back and stood there in despair, unable to say a word.
Griphook is not an idiot. Although his strategic attainments are far inferior to those of Lucius, after hearing the above words, he also knew that his idea just now was indeed a bit too naive, so.
【Are you just waiting to die? 】
The worst thoughts emerge uncontrollably.
However.
“Don’t be deceived by the illusion in front of you. We are far from the time when we should consider failure.”
As if he could see through Griphook’s thoughts, Lucius He shouted such a sentence sharply, and then folded his arms and said in a deep voice: "Think about it carefully, although at first glance it seems that we are currently in a disadvantageous situation in Snow Dove Hill, the enemy has used conspiracy to create this three-way plan. There are still flaws in the encirclement, so as long as we don't step into the trap, who will be uncomfortable in the end doesn't know."
Griphook looked up at Lucius in confusion: "Flaws? "< br>
“Yes, a huge flaw.”
The latter nodded calmly and grinned: "As far as I know, the Holy Religion joint force stationed on the main peak of Sumir is only about a thousand people at best, and those orcs have been coming to the north for support during this period. Their good guys only have less than 5,000 people, and after you and I join together, the available combat strength of Xuejiuqiu has reached more than 7,000 people, and the average combat strength will never be inferior to the enemy's 7,000. "Yu Ren, in this case, if they really try to encircle us in a short time, they will most likely be defeated by us!"
Grihuan's face looked a little better, but he was still frightened! Asked: "But, what about the large army of the Holy Alliance in the east?"
"That's a good question, that's the only place I care about."
Lucius boasted casually In one sentence, it gave Grihuan, the former support force commander, some face, and then he said softly: "But I personally think that the Holy Religion United should not send too many combat forces. The reason is very simple. If they If we plan to intervene with all our strength, as long as we are willing to pay a certain price, our overall strength is far inferior to those of the bastards, and we will be killed long ago without any conspiracy. What did they do?"
< br>While trying to calm down his emotions, Griphook quickly turned his brain and pondered: "I have read several reports before. They did almost nothing. Although they always maintained their aggression, as long as we don't take the initiative Those heretics will not attack us if we invade their warning range.”
"Yes, from the beginning to the end, the support of those in the Holy Religion Alliance to Sumir has been very limited."
Lucius smiled and directly expressed the conclusion in his heart: "They are reluctant to sacrifice for those who believe in the elements. The spirit of the orcs is bleeding, so their attitude has always been ambiguous, and the seemingly menacing posture of the other party has strengthened my suspicion. Since they are still trying their best to play tricks, it also proves that even those bastards of the Holy Cult Even if they provide some support, such as dispatching some people to the main peak of Sumir to assist in defense, they will never be able to fight us with all their strength." Griphook nodded quickly, the more he listened, the happier he became.
“So I think that the Holy Alliance may indeed cooperate with the red-haired orc to attack from the east, but the number of people will never be too large. In this way, even if they can We have a slight advantage, but it can only be an 'advantage', and it is by no means the kind of victory that can easily defeat us."
Lucius finally found an idea during the analysis process and said decisively. said, then slammed the table: "Coupled with our home court advantage and position advantage, once the opponent tries to turn 'siege' into 'siege and suppression', they are destined to face a strong backlash, so strong that it may even The backlash of their own burning!”
As soon as he finished speaking, a glimmer of light flashed in the eyes of Griphook and Goshawk.
One touch is exciting, the other touch is also exciting.
“We’re not going anywhere. Whether it’s a three-way encirclement or a missing one among the three, we just need to defend Snow Dove Hill and it will be enough to give the other side a headache.”
Lucius is vicious. grinned , clenching his fists with fighting spirit: "Of course, my decision is still very likely to be expected by the other party, otherwise the red-haired orc would not have chased you all the way from Chuixue Peak to here, but this is harmless, On the contrary, it is more It allows me to confirm that their core purpose is to force us to leave Snow Jiuqiao, hehe. Looking at it on the other hand, if those people really have the courage to start a fight with us here, the side of Rumbling City can take the opportunity to raid the empty place inside. The main peak of Sumir turned the tide of the battle in one fell swoop. By the time the Holy Cult Alliance reacted and was ready to intervene with all its strength, it was already too late."
"Lord Lucius had a brilliant plan."
Griphook, who finally breathed a sigh of relief, immediately began to flatter him and said with a flattering smile: "I admire you!"
Gang Ying also suddenly remembered something happy and smiled from ear to ear. .
"Adjutant, pass on my order."
Lucius slammed the table and stood up suddenly: "Reinforce the camp, break up the original organization of the support troops, from the first to the The fourth brigade received the message and sent a message to Whispering City. The content is what I just said. Please be prepared, Lord Eden. Once the full-scale war breaks out in Snow Dove Hill, immediately attack the main peak of Sumir. In the name of my lord, Lucius decided We will work hard to contain the enemy for the diocese and do our best to delay the return of reinforcements from the Sumil side. In addition, from now on, Chief Priest Grihuan will serve as the deputy commander-in-chief of the army, effective immediately."
Despite knowing that the so-called 'deputy'. The title of Commander-in-Chief is just a false one, but Griphook still knelt down on one knee with tears in his eyes: "Thank you, Lord Lucius, for your love."
Tom Lestrange, who appeared silently at the exit of the handsome tent, nodded lazily and responded absently: "I understand, Commander."
"Goshawk, this paragraph It’s been a long time, so go back and rest first.”
Lucius nodded to his son with a stiff expression, and then turned to Goshawk. He smiled and said: "I allow you to leave the combat organization. You only need to be responsible for the scouting work that I personally assigned. I will add some manpower to you later."
This is an obvious win-over and promotion. After all, they are both scouts. The public scouts who work alone and obey the unified dispatch are completely different concepts from the scout captain who has people under his command.
The Goshawk, on the other hand, did not shed tears of gratitude like Griphook, but nodded in a neither humble nor overbearing manner: "I will definitely live up to your expectations."
"So."
Lucius raised his hand and smoothed his long blond hair, frowning and looking at Tom who was still standing at the door: "Why aren't you going?"
"Because from just now, there seems to be something outside that wants to come in."
Tom played with his exquisite 'magic wand' and shrugged at Lucius: "Well, I just discovered that it seems to be the power of the old Mr. Eden of Whispering City. Wouldn't it be better to put it in?"< br>
Lucius' pupils suddenly shrank: "What did you say?"
"I said, that seems to be the guy from the Whispering City"
"Stop your stupid black magic barrier!"
This sentence was almost whispered by Lucius through his teeth. squeezed out.
"Okay, as you wish, Lord Lucius."
Tom responded nonchalantly, then raised his hand and waved his wand, eliminating the shadow outside the tent. A layer of strange, invisible defensive power.
The next second
A group of dark green flames suddenly exploded in front of Lucius, and the wrinkled face of Archpriest Eden flashed in the air.
" The Whispering City is under attack, come back quickly!”
After leaving these cold and low words, the communication magic that was almost wiped out by Tom’s [Dark Magic Barrier] disappeared in an instant. It completely dissipated, as if it had never appeared.
However, everyone present clearly heard the words just now, that message was too incredible no matter how you thought about it.
Griphook, whose face was glowing just now, froze for a moment, then fell to the ground, his eyes empty as if he had lost his soul.
The Goshawk also staggered and looked blankly at the place where the old face disappeared just now.
Tom, who was standing by the exit of the handsome tent, was relatively calm, but his eyes were also full of confusion and incomprehension after just listening to Lucius's entire analysis.
As for Lucius himself, he was completely frozen on the spot, his blank brain leaving only one sentence that kept playing in a loop -
The Whispering City was attacked! !
