268.Two-line combat and return scroll - additional updates for the brothers "Huo Zheng is very good" [18/20] (page 1/2)
“What Big En can see in "War Correspondent", Murphy can also see, and even see it more clearly than the little players..
His other pair of eyes is always patrolling high in the sky and looking at everything happening on this land. Even when Wolfsbane invaded the Scarlet Castle, Reifno's eyes were never far away from Murphy's territory..
In fact, as soon as the gnolls in Under Armor Hills moved, Murphy noticed their movements..
The gnoll warlord Kenbot Bonegnasher seems to know the art of fighting very well. Wolfsbane's attack happened last night. He can be sure that Scarlet Castle suffered damage as a result. Now is a good time to launch a full-scale attack..
In a sense, Ken Porter's strategy is absolutely correct..
If Murphy's men are really brave men recruited from the local area, then the chaos last night will definitely have a significant impact on the defense of Scarlet Fort at this juncture, and even directly trigger an irreversible defeat..
But fortunately, Murphy's warriors only live every three days, so the vampire lord is not actually worried about the upcoming decisive battle..
It will take two days and two nights for the players to regenerate, but to be honest, their current numbers cannot play a key role in a decisive battle of this scale..
At least on the frontal battlefield, it is difficult for players to form a strong force that they can rely on..
Murphy and Tris knew this very well. They did not stop their arrangements just because the players were completely damaged. At this time, in the Adventurer Guild camp in the ruins area of the inner city of Scarlet Castle, important personnel under Murphy They are all gathered here.
In front of them lay a huge diamond-shaped psychic object. It was like a crystal clear natural gem carved into an exquisite shape with hundreds of facets..
But if you look carefully, you can see that every facet of this thing is engraved with complex spiritual patterns. Driven by Cuisi waving the serenade staff, this thing suspended in the air is undergoing final fine-tuning..
“Serenade Enchantment! Strategic objects that have protected Cadman City for the past 400 years.”
Miss Femis explained to the administrators who were unfamiliar with psychic energy and this land.：
“What is placed in front of you is one of the seven cores of the barrier. The main core is placed here. The other two psychic transformation cores are placed in the outer city. These three cores can already reorganize the Serenade barrier and provide our The city creates a shield as strong as a city wall.
You'll see it soon.”
“To be precise, about seven seconds later.”
Tris continued quietly, and then when she held the serenade scepter and struck it in the air, the main core was activated..
It is like an awakened living creature. In the shimmering light of the spiritual patterns on it, it begins to absorb the free spiritual energy in the environment and creates a wonderful resonance with the two cores placed in the outer city..
So under the surprised gazes of Miriam and Professor Malcolm, streaks of scarlet light were penetrated into the sky. With the sky in the middle of the head as the source point, an eggshell-shaped psychic shield slowly spread out in all directions. It took about a few minutes for the entire Scarlet Castle to be enveloped..
“We only have three cores on hand, so we can only support this layer of enchantment..
The complete Serenade is a composite protective force field composed of three layers of barriers. The current protection strength is basically equivalent to an ordinary city wall, so it can only be said to be okay, far from outstanding and perfect..”
Cuisi patted the Serenade protection core with great dissatisfaction, and the charming Blood Vulture Archduke said to the people around him：
“The remaining four cores are still buried in the sewer chambers in the inner city. Considering that there are many ghouls and ghosts there and we don’t have enough manpower to bring them out, everyone will just use it..”
“I've never seen anything so exaggerated in Port Chardeau..”
Miriam whispered：
“Can it stop the 20,000 jackal vanguards that are coming towards us?？”
“Do you think that 20,000 Jackal gangsters who lack siege weapons and are very poorly organized, basically equivalent to sluggish stragglers, can capture the original Cadman City?？”
Femis asked back, Miriam shook her head and said firmly：
“With the original thickness of the city's walls, even if there was no barrier, they would still have to be twice as thick..”
“That's OK.”
The eldest lady said in a brisk tone：
“Don’t worry, Tris is just very arrogant. The current strength of the barrier will not be worse than the defense of Cadman City’s wall. But the problem is that we can’t just defend..
This shield will not protect us forever.”
This sentence made Professor Malcolm, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, frown again. He tasted a hint of ominousness in it, pushed up his glasses, and asked seriously：
“do you mean？”
“Let Maxim explain this. He is the military commander here..”
Murphy, who carefully observed the rotating ritual stone and tried to analyze the principle of the barrier, said without looking back.：
“Mark, report to our administrative officials on our currently available defense forces and our overall plan to combat the Jackals..
Keep it simple.”
“ok master.”
The loyal servant wearing full armor turned to look at Miriam and Professor Malcolm, and he said in a deep voice：
“At present, the preliminary training of 500 people of the Cadman People's Army under my command has been completed, and the number of registered trained militiamen is about 1,000. This is the data calculated after counting the five collective farms currently under construction, and there are The residents are already on their way to Scarlet Keep. We can't leave them outside the city..
That can only serve as extra food for the jackals.
I also talked with President Natalie, and she promised me that the Witch Hunter Chapter can gather 500 elite rangers. This is all the large-scale military power we can use..”
“In other words, the real combat strength is only 2,000 people.”
Professor Malcolm sighed, shook his head and said：
“It sounds really shabby, but considering the current total number of people in the earldom, this is already quite militaristic, so we can't possibly fight with the gnolls in the wild, right?？”
“That's what I'm going to say next.”
Maxim nodded and explained：
“Mr. Murphy and I have repeatedly deduced that on the Scarlet Castle side, we should rely on the defense of the Serenade barrier, gather effective forces, and use safari methods to harass and attack the 20,000 jackal vanguards rushing towards us..
But we can't fight them for a long time！
What we have to do is to confine this part of the barbarian vanguard to the Earldom of Cadman and attract them near Scarlet Castle, because according to Lord Murphy's strategy, what follows will not be a battle of annihilation, but a battle of defeat..
Transia is about to enter a massive construction phase, and these gnolls can become quite a consumable item..”
“？”
Maxim's statement immediately aroused the surprise of Ms. Leonia, who was observing the serenade barrier next to her. The arrogant bow knight said bluntly：
“Are you kidding me? We don't even have enough people to fill the holes in the Gnolls' teeth. You should be more pragmatic and not be whimsical and want to capture prisoners..
This is a gap of more than ten times in military strength.！
Even the Knights of the Blood Alliance would not dare to be so generous..”
“This is not arrogance or ignorance, rude moon elf, you'd better listen carefully to the end.！”
Tris said quietly.
Maxim also ignored the arrogant knight's doubts. During this period, he often had private confrontations with Leonia. He knew that the arch knight's arrogance did not stem from his nature..
That's just an external manifestation of her complex character, and there's no malicious intent in her questioning..
Maxim always respects and learns from those who are stronger than him, and Leonia's loyalty and strength are the objects of his learning..
