Chapter 1709 Appetite
Although Riley, the number two character in this team, has always had a bad temper and looks like a silly older sister who doesn’t like to use her brain at first glance, in fact, at her age, she can She was selected into the Deathclaw Guards, and has been working as a deputy to Lana Bladethorn, the former right-hand man of the Guards Captain and now the right-hand man of the Deathclaw Queen. No matter how you think about it, she cannot be a simple and honest girl.
In fact, anyone who can hold an important position in any blood barbarian force, including but not limited to the Blood Feather Mesa Harpy, cannot be a simple person anyway. He has a series of characteristics such as cruelty, coldness, and cunning. Talent in the art of survival is indispensable, but Riley is too lazy to use her brain when Lana is around.
But now, Lana is dead, and before her death, she entrusted the sisters who came with her to Riley, and the latter, in this case, almost instinctively picked up her sensitivity again. insight and cunning mood.
Then she discovered the huge mistake made by those magicians!
It stands to reason that in the situation just now when one's own side was slightly confused and the other side was surrounded from all sides, if those magic sticks were not so greedy and chose to keep as many people as possible instead of killing all the sisters including herself, Riley would I think at least a quarter or even a third of the people here must be left behind, forever losing the chance to fly into the sky again.
However, the enemy's appetite is too big. Even though the situation has been greatly tilted towards them, they are still not satisfied. It is almost impossible to achieve this idea before the gap between quantity and quality between the two sides appears.
But if you do this forcefully without meeting the conditions, there is only one result that can be obtained, that is, in order to limit your own flying ability, you will take the initiative to turn your superior troops into a piece of loose sand, and even appear just to avoid it. Let a certain sister fly into the air, and four or five magic sticks take action to restrain her at the same time.
This move greatly reduced the opponent's combat efficiency, and also greatly reduced the intensity of the threat faced by our own side.
The originally destructive formation of those magic sticks has become fragmented. Although the advantage has not slipped away from their hands for the time being, even if the situation continues like this, it will not change the positions of both sides, but... …
【What if we give it a little guidance? 】
Riley narrowed her slender eyes, and while continuing to fight with her sisters at the forefront against the magic sticks who were trying to compress her body, she was turning her brain at high speed, and After a few seconds, he laughed unnoticeably, and then let out an angry roar. While pretending to fight the two templars in front of him, he made a few gestures with his right hand that was quietly clasped behind his back at some point.
The harpies closest to her were stunned for a moment, and then began to move their positions with understanding. In the process, they changed their combat mode and gradually postponed the priority of 'escaping'. Instead, start focusing on those who always focus half of their attention on 'pulling', 'containing' and 'guiding'.
This is not a very difficult task for them, because even if they are unable to fly freely under the opponent's heavy restrictions, the harpies, who have more wings than most enemies, are flying on the machine. They were still better in terms of motivation, so after they gave up the idea of forcibly leaving, the situation that was not too bad immediately became more calm.
In the following ten minutes, Riley kept repeating the same behavior, that is, constantly moving her position and silently attacking others through gestures that only members of the [Death Claw Guards] could understand. Scheduling'.
There is only one order she conveys, and that is to continue to lure the enemy into a small area while fighting and retreating, thereby dividing their formation, and using the advantage of mobility to consume the opponent's physical strength.
Riley's idea is actually not complicated. Simply put, it revolves around the principle that "the attacker consumes more energy than the defender". While guiding the battlefield to the north, it allows everyone to pass through a small area. High-frequency maneuvers to consume the opponent. In this way, when those magicians are distracted to prevent everyone from taking off, it will not take long to widen the physical gap between the two sides. Under this premise ...
The magic stick who was unconsciously divided is likely to be caught off guard and hit hard by a wave of strangles, leading to a large-scale rout!
So after having figured out the opponent's mentality and found the corresponding means, Riley's only worry is that the opponent and reinforcements will come out from the defense zone behind. In that case, things will It becomes very troublesome, and there may even be a crisis of annihilation of the entire army.
The reason why Riley took this risk was not because she was too greedy, but because she had no choice in the face of the opponent's unsmart style of play.
[The commander of these magic sticks is probably someone who cares about the results very much, and even some are very happy with their achievements, so when this situation seems to be beneficial to them, they probably won't send anyone for help... Well, probably not. 】
While comforting herself in this way, Riley continued to dispatch the 'both sides' as the leader of the battlefield, because she was afraid that even one of the sisters would escape here. It was too easy to guess, so she Now it's almost like commanding people on both sides at the same time.
It is not easy at all to guide the situation in the direction you want without leaving any trace, but at this moment, Riley, who has never been so clear-headed, actually did this perfectly. Sometimes it is absolutely difficult to operate by yourself.
The battle continued like this for about ten minutes at Riley's pace. In the process, the harpies killed about thirty more people, and despite the enemy's strict defense, there were no Even if one person successfully escapes from the battlefield, although those "magic sticks" in Riley's eyes have almost no casualties, they will produce huge consumption and load in the process.
The most important thing is that for ten minutes, there was no movement at the back line of defense that had swallowed more than a hundred harpies not long ago, and this made Riley more convinced that there was no epic there. level clergy, the attack just now that directly killed more than a hundred sisters, including Lana, was most likely a magical array that had been arranged there a long time ago, and at this moment, the entangled bastards around , is the enemy's only organized force within a hundred miles.
And they also have an unqualified commander!
【It can be done! 】
Swallowed by the overflowing joy and excitement, two imperceptible blushes appeared on Riley's pretty face. Her unusually bright eyes were always paying attention to the movements of the enemies, and After a brief thought, I came to the final conclusion -
In at most a quarter of an hour, the physical strength and concentration of those magic sticks will drop to a very dangerous level, and based on the current battle situation, Even if dozens of sisters fall on his side by then, it will be enough to set off a storm that can intertwine death and mourning!
As long as...
...
“A quarter of an hour.”
On the outer edge of the second defense zone of Doumbouya City, at the temporary command point code-named [Bass], Mino Paladin had just finished listening to Kasbasji’s report After muttering something like this, he was lying facelessly on a simple temporary wooden table, using a quill to write on the unrecognizable picture in front of him. What is sketched on the topographic map? Unlike Mo Tan, who likes to place alchemy chess pieces on the sand table after meeting Luna, Mino seems to trust his quill more, so things like the topographic map are basically disposable for him. Consumables, after all, after this dear friend uses them up, it is absolutely impossible to reuse those things that can be used as performance art for a solo exhibition.
"What's a quarter of an hour?"
Kabasji, who was sitting cross-legged on the stone next to him, blinked and asked quickly: "Do you need me to convey this to someone?" "A quarter of an hour?" After the bell, it’s time for the harpies to launch a counterattack.”
Mino replied without raising his head, his frown slowly relaxed, and he said in a rather dazed tone: "This is just a judgment of mine, not an order or plan. You don’t need to send it to anyone.”
Kabasji nodded obediently, and then shut up and stopped talking.
Obviously, Kasbaji, who played a very important role as a liaison with Commander Mino assigned by Roo, was a very knowledgeable girl, although she was still teaching Mino before the battle began. Nuo sang a heroic song, but when those harpies officially entered the detection range of the first batch of peripheral scouts and the entire defense zone started to operate like a precision machine, Kaspersky didn't say a superfluous word.
Simply summarize the information and contacts returned by the companions who are in [Hagakure] like me, and then relay these messages to Mino Paladin at the core of the combat plan as soon as possible, and Simultaneously conveying his intentions, instructions and arrangements to his companions on duty at the corresponding positions. From the moment the battle officially started, when Mino took out his quill and leaned on the desk, until now, Kaspersky has always been efficient, capable and clear. Complete the above work with an attitude that is focused and conscientious.
It was Mino who took the lead to look away from the topographic map in front of him that had been changed beyond recognition by his scribblings. He threw the quill on the table and suddenly raised his arms, stretched out, and then While raising his hand to wipe the thin beads of sweat on his forehead, he sat imagelessly on the cold sand, as if he was finishing work.
But as far as Kasbas Ji knew, at this moment, the [Guards Regiment], which had just been formed less than half a day ago, was fighting bloody battles with those brutal blood barbarians at the forefront.
"Your Excellency Mino?"
A few seconds later, Kaspersky, who was asked by Luo to use honorifics during working hours, could not sit still, coughed slightly and said Turning to look at himself, he asked as if he had given up his options: "Then what?"
Mino was a little confused. He turned around and looked at this man who not only had a loud and good voice, but was also meticulous in his work. Not only could he perfectly fulfill all the functions that Lao Luo had mentioned before, he even thoughtfully used every opportunity to popularize science for himself while working. The girl who knew nothing about people from other worlds asked curiously: "What then?"
"This...is..."
Kabasji was speechless by Mino's rhetorical questions. It took him a while to come back to his senses and said with an inexplicable expression: "Because the battle is still going on. Ah, aren't you the commander of this battle? Why..."
"Strictly speaking, at least in this battle, compared to the title of 'commander', I am actually more of a 'planner'."
Out of a state of high mental concentration , Mino, who gradually returned to his daily thoughts, quickly understood Kasbasji’s thoughts. , explained in his usual gloomy but somewhat relaxed voice at this moment: "As of now, with everyone's cooperation, the plan has been perfectly implemented. Although my work is not over yet, , but there is actually nothing left to do. For the rest, I believe Lei His Royal Highnesses Meng and Philip will take care of it.”
This was the first time that Kaspersky had seen the commander give up his choice, and he was so confident. It took a while before he felt a little embarrassed. He asked with confidence: "Is this okay?!"
"There's nothing wrong with it. In the final analysis, the gap between the two sides is really too big."
Although Mino has a gloomy personality, he is not the type who rejects chatting with others, so he said very straightforwardly: " Shalia, who had always kept a low profile in front of Knight Commander Jeff or Bishop Jost, no longer hid her clumsiness. Not only did she issue an early warning in advance, but she also collected detailed intelligence including the specific number of enemies; The comprehensive strength of the [Guards Regiment] proposed by the priest far exceeded expectations. Although they only conducted half of the joint training due to time constraints, they still showed incredible results; and [Ye Yin] composed of you aliens ] has brought revolutionary changes in the field of messaging. Messages that used to take dozens of minutes or even hours now only take three seconds at most.”
Kabasji nodded slightly and asked: "So?"
"So..."
Mino shrugged and spread his hands: "I just figured it out not long ago. In this case, don't tell the other party. There are less than a thousand people. Even if the number doubles, I am afraid it will not be able to pose a threat to us. Therefore, the difficulty this time... or the strategic goal is not inevitable victory at all, but to defeat the enemy one by one. Stay.”
"It sounds very rare to leave everyone behind."
"Yes, after all, according to our past experience, we can defeat, defeat, and repel the enemy at very low losses. It's already a victory, nothing is left behind Especially for an enemy like the Harpy, it is simply difficult to reach the sky."
"Then..."
"But this time, it is different."
“What’s different?”
"In addition to what I just said, we also have a Holy Son."
"Uh..."
"A man with epic level strength and got the 'Full Power "The Son of God who has given this order"
