There are many battlefields where this new type of army can show its power, but there is one battlefield that has been difficult for many generals and commanders throughout the ages, and there is no good way to solve it, and that is urban street fighting.
The special terrain of the city will naturally cut the troops into small groups. At this time, the unsuspecting commander rashly entered the city and was quietly approached by an enemy who was familiar with the terrain. Even the battle was reversed in one fell swoop. It was not unheard of.
But if we can effectively communicate with each other and let small-scale troops coordinate with each other and gradually encroach, then the difficulty of street fighting will drop several notches. In the old order system, the most feared thing was that the battlefield situation would change during the transmission of orders and information. As a result, after the order was conveyed to the frontline commander, it was no longer applicable to the new situation.
However, the real-time nature of the forum can minimize such risks. Even when necessary, orders can be issued directly from the military drawing room in the Military Affairs Department of the empire's capital to lower-level sergeants at the squad level.
But officers responsible for researching new tactics also believe the forum is still not fast enough. There must be a dedicated soldier responsible for updating the forum page at any time to see if there is any new intelligence or orders.
It just so happened that the creator of the forum was the target this time, so the Ministry of Military Affairs had been planning to capture him alive from the very beginning. Even if the lich and the black dragon are killed, they are still dead. The problem is that the other person must be captured alive so that he can transform the format of the forum to create a simpler and more timely means of communicating with each other.
This unstated goal is also the reason why the young officers in the military drawing room are very active. How could it not be intoxicating to be able to sit in a safe place, strategize, and win the battle thousands of miles away?
As for the other person, he walked into the military drawing room again and looked at the lit magic lamp and the young people walking busy underneath. The old man, whose hair was gray and whose physical strength was not as good as before, felt a surge of emotion in his heart for no reason.
Perhaps the Empire's war machine is not yet operating at full capacity. However, in order to achieve its goals, the Central Military Affairs Department mobilized manpower and material resources that were unimaginable by the kings of some small countries.
According to common sense, only the energy pool of the magic tower level can make the legion-level teleportation magic array operate smoothly, and it began to operate for the second time in just two days. Massive amounts of magic stones were piled up in the energy-supplying magic circle, and the cheap white stones that had been drained of their power were also dragged away one by one.
The 10th Experimental Brigade of the First Legion stood in the center of the magic circle.
In addition to thousands of soldiers and sergeants, there are also a large number of large war weapons used against king-level monsters. All magical equipment. If its level of luxury were placed in some small countries, it would definitely be the personal guards around the king who would have the opportunity to use this weapon with powerful magic. But in the Empire, this is just an experimental force.
And this is the part of the manpower mobilized by the empire that attracts the most attention. First the 1st Magic Brigade, then the 10th Experimental Brigade, it can be said that both swordsmen of the Military Affairs Department were sent out.
The last time I saw this kind of scene was when a border prince had a dispute with the demihuman clan autonomous territory within the territory, and the empire reacted after the two sides got into trouble. In the end, the matter ended with the Grand Duke abdicating his throne to his heir, the demihuman clan's patriarch also changing, and the old patriarch moving to the capital to enjoy his old age.
So this time, where the two drawn knives were going to hit became a topic of conversation among the nobles. And those who have a rough idea of the high-level plans have undoubtedly become the focus of banquets everywhere, adding all kinds of information and leaking it out.
But where no one is paying attention, the empire still has considerable mobilization. In order to mobilize enough airships for all members of the 10th Brigade and to carry all war weapons, with Nagadai as the center, garrison commanders in more than a dozen cities exerted their power and influence and requisitioned airships with large carrying capacity and high speed. Airships with high security are assembled in Nagadai.
This is nothing like requisitioning horses and livestock, or recruiting peasants and soldiers to fight on the battlefield. Airships are high-end products in Lost Land. Those who can own airships must either be strong enough or have a few backers. Such people are not something that the empire can manipulate just because it wants to.
If you are in wartime, there are naturally wartime laws and regulations that can forcibly requisition all materials that can be used in the war. But it’s not that far yet. If we insist on chatting about just a magician, a lich, and a black dragon, the empire needs to use war mobilization to use all its strength to fight the opponent. Is it possible that the empire that everyone is proud of is Sha It can't be built!
It's hard to say such self-defeating remarks. Therefore, the personnel of the Ministry of Military Affairs had to do their best to discuss the temporary requisition with the airship owners and the big guys behind them, as well as compensation in the event of unfortunate damage.
Even if these are settled, the matter is not over yet. The supplies needed for the airship's voyage must be prepared. In a normal mobilization situation, the boat owner must also provide the required supplies while requisitioning. But the situation is urgent. If you wait for the boat owners with different strengths and connections to prepare everything, it might be too late. Therefore, everything can only be coordinated by the Empire's Ministry of Military Affairs. gourmet food
All preparations need to be completed within one night. The commercial business in Midi is not so prosperous that it is open 24 hours a day. One can imagine how much resentment the empire would arouse with such a knocking-on-the-door requisition order. Not to mention that ordinary people do not fight against officials, who can control such high-end resources are ordinary people?
The reason why the Minister of Military Affairs cannot finish his work today and cannot go home is because there are many people who must rely on him to come forward to find a solution.
The young guys in the military drawing room are talented and have ideas. An old man like him should think of ways to pave the way for these young people and help them achieve their own merits. Using this reason to train imperial talents, the Minister of Military Affairs braced himself up and stayed up all night in the military drawing room.
Early the next morning, all preparations were finally ready before the departure of the 10th Experimental Brigade. But there is still a very special vitality in the military drawing room, and everyone is looking forward to whether their careful layout can bring about the best results expected.
The Minister of Military Affairs, who was sitting behind the big conference table, could not hide his fatigue. He could understand the desire of young people to make meritorious deeds, but he remembered that his predecessor, his predecessors, and even his predecessors all fell ill while in office and then received state funerals.
Of course, the emperor treated the families of previous ministers with many preferential treatment and courtesy. Even if he is able to sit in this position, it is not because his brother is his predecessor. But this kind of ending is not what I pursue.
While thinking about which successors to recommend to the emperor, the Minister of Military Affairs stood up tremblingly with the support of the secretary. He decided to go back to his office, where he had a small break room. Whatever he could do, he tried his best to do it. All that's left is to wait for the good news to come back from the frontline personnel.
Also waiting is another abandoned unit, the First Magic Brigade. Ever since they found out that they had missed a beat and had been given an order to 'wait where you are' from above, although the relevant information was not blocked, no one paid any attention to them for a whole day.
You must know that these great magicians are not members of the direct line who have been carefully cultivated by the empire. They have only studied two or three magics in their lives and only practiced cooperating with each other. It's about making a big name outside and becoming a strong man who can stand alone. Such a group of people will follow orders and prohibitions, and the only reason is that the person taking the lead is stronger! Secondly, the rewards provided by the empire are rich enough.
Captain of the First Magic Brigade, with the same rank as a general, one of the contemporaries who was conferred the title of Dharma Saint, Babak Abnahan. The reason why the Minister of Military Affairs would not hesitate to send this one and his troops is because in Babak's young days before he was granted the title, his achievements included dragons and lichs.
It can be said that he has the experience of defeating the two most difficult enemies this time, so he naturally became the first choice to deal with this group of people. But now that he had failed, he had to come forward to appease the emotions of a thousand masters. Especially like this, the reason for the unfavorable start is not on them, but on the blind command of the people above.
Regarding this result, Babak Abunahan breathed a sigh of relief.
He knows better than anyone else that for a magician at the level of a lich, numbers are never the key to victory or defeat, and success or failure is likely to happen in an instant.
I still remember the lich I was dealing with at that time. As soon as I encountered him, he would stop time, protect against evil, recruit demons, and hit him with a combination of meteors and fire showers. This was because he had found the opponent's life box first, and used the strong-looking box to block the big devil's scythe. Only then did he survive and become the final winner.
I originally thought about asking the lich to reveal all his magic knowledge. But as soon as they met, I realized that there was no chance of holding back. Either the enemy dies or we perish. The battle between top magicians is so dangerous. Unless there is a big difference in strength today and there is a way to control the other party, using all one's strength to escape without success is the magician's top strategy.
But this time, he was facing a lich who once had the name of Demon King. You may not have the luck to find the opponent's life box before the fight begins. So as early as he knew that he was going to deal with this group of people, he kept studying the other party's intelligence. Not just from the Imperial Military Ministry, but also from its own intelligence channels.
The magic that instantly destroyed half of a thousand-man team was something he had never seen before. What is the basis? What is the principle? How wide is the impact? How is the consumption? How many times can it be used? Use spacing? All kinds of uncertainties made Babak Abunahan want to retreat.
The reason why I can defeat every enemy is because I am fully prepared and have a deep understanding of the enemy before starting the fight. Know what the opponent's tactics are. Those who are good at it. users. What are the weaknesses. Can you palm it? Then design targeted tactics. Even if the status is unknown, you have to be sure that you have a chance to win and be fully prepared before you can take action.
But this time, for so long, he once again felt that he was not sure of victory.
