Chapter 811 Detour
A mountain suddenly appeared on the north side of Snow Dove Hill.
The mountain that is enough to cut off the main force of the Whispering Sect’s reinforcements is a real mountain.
Lucius was shocked.
Not only him, but also Mo Tan was shocked when he heard that Pulanna and others could really make a real difference.
You know, in his previous idea, he originally planned to let these elders who are said to have a good relationship with the spirit of the earth to build a Xibei product, that is, the kind that looks quite similar, but only wants the length and width. , the kind of mountain that does not require thickness can also be called a 'wall'.
Mo Tan had long expected that Lucius, who was as cautious as he was, would do a good job of reconnaissance before the army set off, so as long as he hit an enemy messenger, it was actually Tom Lestrange who left Snow Dove Hill. There is a time difference, so if we take action when the other party is about to arrive at the Whispering City, the matter will be settled.
The main force of the Whispering Cult has limited scouts, and its standard aerial unit is only the Goshawk. Although Lucius can also take off from where he is, he will not do it 100% of the time. He will do something that will put himself in danger, so as long as Goshawk doesn't give Dudu medicine when he is ordered to investigate the mountain in detail, he can just use "It's too high, even I can't climb over it" when he comes back. His rhetoric misled the other party, forcing Lucius to change his course of action.
It should have been like this
As a result, just when he finished expressing his thoughts to the three elders headed by Plana (because she was the best at fighting), they calculated it He actually said that he could come out with the real thing as a whole. Although the height might be lower than Mo Tan had previously estimated, it would definitely be a real mountain.
The price is that they will consume all their strength for this, making it difficult to participate in the attack on Whispering City.
The latter sentence was what the three elders added emphatically at that time, and Mo Tan could tell at a glance that the other party was unwilling to do so.
But out of caution, he did not reveal his previous plans after all. Instead, he expressed without blushing that in order to win the war, a real moat capable of cutting off the main force of the Whispering Cult was necessary. , and also asked three people to focus on the overall situation.
And secretly gave Planna the enhanced version of Huoxiang Zhengke and alchemy potion that Luna had given to him as a drink and briefly explained the specific effects. It was not to win people's hearts, but mainly because of him. It can be seen that the three elders are really unwilling.
He once heard Huo Yanyang say that a few months ago, when it was discovered that the cultists were quietly taking root in Sumir, the Council of Elders immediately took the initiative and concentrated its superior forces to attack the Whispering City, hoping to Directly eradicate the enemy in the heart of the mountain that was used as a camouflage.
The result was heavy losses. Not only was the Earth Whip, the only regular force on the side of the Holy Mountain, so damaged that it was almost expelled, but even the elder in the most fortress used the Horn of the Stone Ancestor to blow the [Mountain Echo] to detect the sound of the Whispering City. The apprentice of the Great Shaman Chiron and the most dazzling genius of the Holy Mountain Sumir in the past three hundred years, Jose Thorn Bird, all died in the Whispering City.
Sumir misjudged the strength of the cultists, and did not expect how violent and unreasonable the earth line infiltrated by the power of the evil god would be. He also did not expect the Whispering cultists whose fighting power soared in their absolute home field. So powerful that a surprise attack that could have set the scene ended dismally.
Of course, the Northeastern Diocese has also paid a sufficient price. Apart from those middle and low-level believers who were killed by the Earth Whip from the beginning by combining spells and group charges, Jose Thorns The two [Ancestor Colossi] summoned at the cost of his life before Bird fell are simply powerful. It was so unreasonable that as soon as he appeared, he used thunder to destroy the earth line that was overflowing with the power of the evil god, and knocked the cultists who could have received at least three times of blessings in the whispering city back to their original form, and broke it abruptly. The Northeastern Diocese spent an unknown amount of time building its "absolute home court" in the north.
This is also the reason why Mo Tan dared to take the initiative to attack the Whispering City. If the evil god's leyline had not been destroyed, even if he could mobilize twice as many troops, he would not be able to use this method. A whole family of people, old and young, all come over directly. That's not called strategy, it's called death.
You must know that with the increase of the evil god's leyline, even if the level of the epic level powerhouse Eden is not enough, his strength will be strengthened to be infinitely close to the legendary level, unless the great shaman Chiron can make a shadow. Technique, or the Holy Religion unites and sends out four or five legendary level knight captains, otherwise they will never be able to defeat the Whispering City.
As for why Jose Thorn Bird was able to successfully destroy the Leyline under the circumstances at that time, it is not difficult to explain. It is nothing more than that handsome man who is only in his early thirties and has a quarter of Orc blood. The Great Prophet is really a genius. Although his strength is only at the peak of the epic, he can still find the right opportunity to use suicide attacks to destroy the earth line before Eden and other high-level officials can react.
As for the extent of his genius.
You can refer to Tom Lestrange.
To put it simply, it is unreasonable. It is very unreasonable on all levels, just like Cordoba among players.
And it’s even luckier than Cordoba.
Therefore, even if Jose Thornbird died young, it cannot be said that he was unlucky. It can only be said that the natural law of the European Emperor's extremely short lifespan is too strong.
There is also a more unreasonable saying, that is, whether it is appearance, appearance, talent, character or conduct, the great prophet Jose is too perfect, and a person who is too perfect himself is not like A misfit in this flawed world, so Jose dies while a deeply flawed man like Tom lives.
In short, whether it was the Sumir side of the Holy Mountain or the Northeastern Diocese of the Whispering Sect, what Mo Tan saw was their strength after both sides were defeated and their vitality was greatly damaged.
But this is not a bad thing for Mo Tan. After all, although he is quite capable in command due to some of his own characteristics, he has a fatal flaw that is difficult to make up for in a short time, and that is He lacks understanding of the power of this world, so the higher the level of both parties, the weaker his control over the situation.
Just like the bright boy who was praised by Teacher Luo as a god, no matter how good he was in using soldiers, he would probably be blinded when he traveled back to World War I and World War II. At least until he completed the basic military knowledge, he would be absolutely blind. It is impossible to win any battle, of course, if the soldiers under his command are all at the level of those ███ in the ██ theme, and the board of Uncle Niu's coffin is strong enough to ensure that it will not explode and hurt people. , let alone Liangzi, even Zhao Kuo, who can only talk on paper, may not be able to conquer a splendid country.
It's a pity that although Mo Tan has obtained the general command of Sumirfang, and the combat effectiveness of his men is much stronger than when he was in Misha County, after all, he is just an ordinary flesh and blood body, he can't ride a bicycle, and he can't throw grenades. It can't blow up a plane, and no one has the powerful skills to blow off Eden's head with a totem eight hundred miles away, so the advantage is actually not that big.
But as mentioned before, although the advantage is not big, Mo Tan at least still has enough control over the situation when the level of both parties has dropped a lot compared to their heyday.
Although he still needs to have Mundo Pan and Huo Yanyang tell him the effects, range, and consumption of elemental magic, as well as the specific lethality, speed, and durability of the wolf cavalry, Mo Tan can still control it. Stay.
When Mo Tan, who has an 'absolutely neutral' personality, can control the situation, his opponents often feel uncomfortable.
Neither Lucius nor Eden are the brainless mutants in Misha County. They have brains, can think, and can make judgments.
However, when facing them, Mo Tan felt more comfortable than facing those mutants.
It’s not that fighting with others is endless fun, but it’s the tactics that Mo Tan can practice on those mutants. Many excellent commanders can also do it, but those people have trouble with Lucius and Eden. The degree of certainty about this kind of 'people' is not as good as that of Mo Tan.
Perhaps a certain deputy warden who has a lot of research on human nature is an exception, but he is not here at the moment, and even if he is here, he may not take action.
So as Mo Tan said, the outcome of this war is already determined. Game time PM22:21
After verifying the intelligence reported back by the scouts as quickly as possible, especially about the mountain that suddenly appeared in the north, the main force of the Northeast Parish under Lucius Set off.
They divided their troops into two groups, one going east and the other also going east.
Because the only way to rush to the aid of Whispering City as quickly as possible is to take a detour from the east, besides going directly north.
The main peak of Sumir in the west is not impossible to circumvent, but although Lucius now has a total of more than 7,000 troops, and has also captured the fact that the interior of the main peak of Sumir is empty, he still has no choice after all. Go around from the west.
There are two reasons. First, although Lucius guessed that the vast majority of the troops on the main peak of Sumir should be gathered at the Whispering City, the vast majority are not all after all. There is nothing wrong with that holy mountain, but as long as the opponent has a few elders and a small number of troops staying on the main peak of Sumir, Lucius will never be able to reach the top of the mountain before dawn. Judging from the news fed back by Tom, if there is no In the absence of reinforcements, Yayu City may not be able to hold out until dawn
Secondly, even if the main peak of Sumir can be captured, the 'pollution' that can achieve the core goal of the Northeast Diocese must be launched by at least five high-ranking bishops or an archbishop leading three high-ranking bishops, and this team includes Lu Xiu Including Si himself, there are only two high-ranking bishops. There are also some protective knights of the same religious rank. Their strength is not inferior, but they do not meet the conditions for activating pollution.
So, it is not cost-effective to take a detour from the west.
Then head east!
Although there is a Holy Church United Expeditionary Force stationed in the east, Lucius, knowing that the latter has always been steady and steady there, can conclude that the Holy Church side should not be involved in the siege plan. Under this premise, As long as he uses the mountain to make a detour and makes his intention to go north, according to the tacit understanding developed before, those people from the Holy Religion Alliance should not suddenly attack him. At best, they will only launch a few rounds of probing attacks.
You must know that the team Lucius has at his disposal is unprecedentedly large. Even if the expeditionary force is capable enough to defeat him, it will inevitably pay a high price, and they obviously do not want to pay too much. Otherwise, he would have joined forces with Sumirfang in a real sense.
In addition, the direction they are heading towards is to the north of Rumbling City, which is not the home base of the nominal 'allies' of the Holy Religion Alliance in the west, let alone the Holy Land in the southeast. In all likelihood, they will turn a blind eye. Eyes.
So although it may not be the best way, it is already the best plan Lucius can come up with in a short time.
Because all his baggage was used to strengthen the station, and a series of forward-looking operations such as reducing the defensive circle and putting the entire army on alert, the entire process from the order to the departure of the entire army only took a full day. Just fifteen minutes.
The army was split into two parts, namely the core battle sequence led by Eric Knight and mainly cavalry, and the main force led by Lucius.
Same direction, same goal.
As the vanguard, the 1,200 people did not need to take care of the large army and drove to the Whispering City at full speed according to the established route.
The main formation will also conduct a rapid march, following closely behind the vanguard. If the situation goes beyond Lucius's expectation, for example, the Holy Union suddenly bursts out to intercept the vanguard, then the main formation will immediately stop the roundabout. , drove towards the south at full speed, and immediately broke into pieces after leaving the northern border, and went dormant again.
In other words, it means admitting defeat.
This is the best conclusion that Lucius came to after weighing. After all, if the Holy Union officially intervenes, then he will definitely be too late to save the place in the Whispering City. If not, he may even lose the things at hand. Nearly ten thousand people were thrown in, so it was better to admit defeat and retreat for the time being, and wait until Tom rescued Archbishop Eden before making further plans.
To achieve great things, you must be able to take it and put it down!
Lucius, who was 'walking' at the front of the main formation like a ghost, took a deep breath and lightly clenched his fists.
Before, wouldn't it be better for Tom to withdraw first when he saw that the situation was not right?
That boy can’t be without his own care.
One hour later
Game time PM23:34
In the territory of Sumir, ten miles southwest of the outer defense circle of the Holy Religion Union, area W1 of the Black Vanguard strategic map
Bang! !
As the last [Stone Wall Totem] like a wooden stake rose from the ground and forcibly bound the surrounding snow, stones, and wood into a low wall, Huo Yanyang happily took photos clapped his hands: "Aha, it's done!"
“Oh oh oh oh!”
The surrounding players cheered in unison, in a crumbling, shabby, and extremely perfunctory environment that ordinary people may not encounter in their lifetimes. There was applause in front of the fortifications.
"It's going to be over soon, please hold on a little longer."
Huo Yanyang smacked his lips, turned and grinned at everyone: "You have to act more professionally for a while, but don't make people laugh. "
"Brother Yanyang."
An elf ranger who had just returned from the east squeezed out of the crowd and reported loudly: "There seems to be no interest in us over there."
>
“It’s okay~”
Huo Yanyang waved his hand, with a trouble-making light in his eyes, and licked his chapped lips
“It’s not us they should deal with anyway.”
