In other words, if we sort out the situation, compared to Oboro, who could not be defeated despite challenging with ten battleships, the enemy this time is an intruder with a huge body and intelligence that is different from ordinary intruders who only have instincts as a god. Seems to be.
Indeed, I don't think it's possible to win through ordinary combat.
Having said that, the other party still has some wisdom left. Like the war between humans, there is no way around war through dialogue.
What kind of battle plan must be formulated before dealing with it.
However, this was Ajid's idea, not that of the human army.
"Captain, there is news from the base at the rendezvous point."
"What about the content?"
"The assembled thirty warships and the mobile armors they carried began the crusade..."
"!?"
If it were an ordinary dark crusade, the combat power would be excessive, but judging from what Aki and the others heard just now, even with such combat power, it would be impossible to win in a head-on challenge.
"Contact the base and superiors immediately!"
Under Serena's operation, several people's faces appeared on the monitor.
"This is the special guerrilla force 'Mist', Ajit Secret Sword! I'm very sorry, please stop the operation as soon as possible!"
"...A message came suddenly, what's the matter?"
A man who looked like the person in charge of the base clearly showed a troubled expression, but now was not the time to pay attention to such things.
"The intruder in question is different from previous intruders... It is conceivable that his power will easily exceed that of Gray 1 a few days ago. There is no chance of winning by relying solely on pure firepower."
…
The story of the Gray 1 crusade was not limited to the Turtle Kingdom, but was also communicated to human military branches in various countries.
Although he still looked dissatisfied, he still seemed to make a listening gesture first.
"...Since you said so, are there any other plans over there?"
The question from the person in charge of the base made Ajid speechless for a moment, while Xion next to him quietly raised his hand and took a step forward.
"Please let me, Theon Istar, make the proposal regarding this."
"...I understand. Listen to me."
Although full of distrust, at the urging of the person in charge, Theon walked to a nearby keyboard and displayed a map of the Turtle Kingdom on the monitor.
"The first thing that should be done is the evacuation of residents. Please temporarily evacuate everyone who lives to the east of the target's current location to the east of Saikyo, or to the south across the sea, to Awaji Island and the Shikoku area."
"Nonsense! How can it be possible to evacuate so many people!"
"I didn't discuss whether it could be done or not."
Sheehan always remained calm despite the accusations from those in charge. This sentence is so bland and without warmth.
"If people cannot evacuate, there is a high probability that people will die. Even if it is impossible for everyone to evacuate, as long as one more person escapes, one more life can be saved, that's all."
"Well, then, what should we do after letting them take refuge?"
In response to questions coming from above via communications, Theon displays an arrow pointing to Xijing from the invader's current location.
"Our goal should be east."
"What's the basis?"
"The current target intruders should be in an empty stomach, so they hope to prey on more magical beings...especially places other than people. Of course, they can still eat if there are people on the way, but in order to find better food, they will target Foreigners living near Xijing.”
"...This is the first time I've heard of someone living in seclusion in Xijing?"
"Isn't that something that should be discussed now?"
Xion couldn't help but finish his superior's words and continued to explain.
"Maybe it doesn't matter if we don't do anything here, but if necessary, drones can be used. In short, moving the target eastward is the second stage."
"How are you going to attack from there? Do you plan to find a place to ambush?"
"At least the human army doesn't do anything..."
On the map of Turtle Kingdom displayed on the monitor, the red circle drawn by Xion covers Xijing.
Sheehan diagrammed the importance of this point briefly and then stated the conclusion.
"Let outsiders in Xijing deal with the target's luck."
There are many outsiders hiding in Xijing.
Theon had indeed said this before and reported it to his superiors.
But the battle plan coming out of Theon's mouth was surprisingly good.
"Are you kidding? You actually said that you need to rely on other people's power...!"
"I never said to rely on other people's strength. Generally speaking, it is to use others."
Xion corrected the roaring words of the person in charge of the local base in Dragon Kingdom, and turned his attention to the monitor that reflected the upper-level figures.
"If the target arrives near Xijing, other people living around Xijing will have no choice but to fight, and it is not impossible for them to defeat the target."
"...The human army is not as good as them?"
"I don't know about this, it's just a matter of fate. I'm just saying that in that situation, others can fight more efficiently."
Theon said that this time the invaders could not be defeated by the human army. Because of this, he will lead skillfully and let others defeat him.
The combat content is very simple.
At first glance, this was a battle that did not seem to cause much damage to the human army, but the evacuation of residents along the route and the losses to buildings expected when passing through Hydra were by no means small.
Moreover, in addition to these problems, there are also reasons why the human army cannot accept this combat plan.
"Totally impossible!"
The male person in charge in front of the screen shouted while slamming his hands on the table.
"You don't even fight, you just run away, and you will eventually let others defeat you? How dare you say such shameless words!"
This is the "unacceptable thing" that Xiaojing is worried about.
In this battle, the human army focused on escaping from the invaders as its priority, and did not even take action, using external forces to defeat the target.
Although Theon kept saying that he did not know the actual situation, accepting this battle plan was tantamount to admitting that "human armies are inferior to others."
Even in the form of strategic use, it makes little sense.
"Waste of time! We need to act on our ideas!"
He didn't seem to want to listen to me anymore and unilaterally cut off communications with the base.
Although communication with the upper levels was still maintained, it goes without saying that they, and even Christopher, who was relatively friendly to Theon, did not express his approval of Theon's battle.
At this silence, Xion sighed helplessly.
"... Let me declare first that I have warned you and put forward the best plan. If you ignore this and continue to fight, I don't know what the outcome will be."
Once this has been clearly announced to the superior, the communication with the superior ends.
In the unspeakable silence, Theon looked at Ajid unfazed.
"This is the right time... Captain, please observe their outcome carefully before deciding on future actions."
His calm tone overlapped with the image of Theon seen in the Middle East.
Ajid and others felt chills deep in their bodies, waiting for the combat forces gathered at the base to begin attacking.
"I heard that the assembled troops are about to start fighting."
That time came less than an hour after the communications blackout.
Although the battle has only begun now, in fact, action has already been taken.
Thirty warships and countless vehicles on land surrounded the silent and motionless Hydra from all directions.
The mobile armored troops have already deployed and are ready to attack at any time.
(But why is it so tightly surrounded and there is no movement at all?)
It's not like the eyes can't see, and Hydra's search range should be able to detect the "mist" in the distance, but it didn't notice so many enemies, which is strange.
Even if he doesn't think it's a threat because he has almost no magic power, it's strange.
Shifting the doubts in Aki's mind elsewhere, all the fighting forces surrounding Hydra entered a fighting state, and it didn't take long for them to launch an attack together.
Missiles, physical bombs, optical weapons. Countless attacks poured down on the huge body of the silent serpent like a storm.
Along with the roar, the smoke rolled up instantly engulfed the Hydra, and even the surrounding ground was covered by it.
(very quiet)
The roar of the explosion had completely ended, and only huge black smoke rose from the battlefield. It was eerily quiet, and nothing happened.
It was so silent that it felt like time had stopped.
However, all this was broken by the black torrent released from the black smoke.
