Now a new problem is posing before the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces and all the staff officers.
Should we continue to hold on to this well-run line of defense, regardless of the life and death of other places? Just by doing this, it is difficult to guarantee that the demon alliance will not enter the territory of the Gwana Empire from the west after bypassing the Wind Emperor Mountain Range.
In that direction, except for the Grand Duke who was guarding the border, no other preparations had been made. Or go west to support?
and the Vader Military Nation, which is expected to send troops, to attack the demon alliance. The Vader Military State had actually intended to join the war for a long time, but the problem of supplies and routes had not yet been resolved.
With the respect of the empire, they are not willing to run into obstacles and take detours everywhere. If you just walk the shortest distance, the small countries you pass through won’t be too worried.
Or... the army crossed the Fengdi Mountains and attacked the demon alliance's back path. If you have the chance, simply ignore the enemy's forward and hit the Abyss Gate directly.
Strike it down and close this damn door! From the moment the third opinion appeared, it was as if it had its own charm effect, constantly bewitching everyone's minds.
The rogue style of the alliance of demons and orcs, which relied on fighting to support war, destined them not to manage their territory, let alone defend it.
If this were an ordinary enemy, it would be very fatal. Because if you want to encircle and suppress the opponent, you can only chase the enemy's butt.
But the Gate of the Abyss will not escape! Knock down that door, and the remaining demons left in the lost land will be like rootless pods.
Perhaps we can still replenish reinforcements through sacrifices. But if you do this, the rate of increase will certainly not be as fast as walking directly from the Gate of the Abyss.
As long as the demons don't have fresh troops to supplement them, the remaining orcs won't be able to make any trouble. Regardless of the fact that the majority of the people are still orcs, the real threats to the elite human troops are the very few troops composed mainly of strong orcs and the demon army.
The average orc team is about the same level as the militia, and even has worse weapons and equipment.
It's okay to bully the common people who are not fully equipped, but if they are facing troops with armor, it will be pure abuse.
This is also why in the past, most of the orc tribes were suppressed in the underground world and could not come to the surface.
Even if there are people living on the ground, they are just like rats on the street, being chased away by humans everywhere. Only a handful of people who continually prove themselves to be friendly are likely to be accepted into the human world.
But when these half-orcs come to a new place and meet a new group of friends, they are usually rejected as creatures of the evil alignment.
In the final analysis, the idea of directly destroying the Gate of the Abyss is the best way to solve this seemingly endless war.
No one will disagree, but that doesn’t mean no one will not worry. As one of the insiders of the secret behind this war, old Duke Kawei thought of a question.
If the door of the abyss is really closed like this, will things develop as the magician said? Sooner or later, another door will open somewhere.
Just because the Gold Goddess, who has reached the pinnacle of powerful divine power, still exists, there are bound to be corresponding changes in 'Midi'.
Furthermore, before this door is closed, will the World Trees...or to put it bluntly, will the magician officially intervene?
It’s not the human side that’s helping, but the demon side. Such a possibility is not impossible.
The magician made his own position and that of the World Trees very clear, and this whole thing was inevitable.
The only variable is what they plan to do. However, such concerns cannot be made public.
Faced with the request to cross the mountains and raid the gate of the abyss, old Duke Kawei could not refuse righteously.
Because I have no excuse or reason to reject this best strategy currently on the market.
In that case, let it be. If it is true as the magician said, closing one door will only open another.
Then after shutting it down several times to no avail, perhaps the human world will realize the futility of such actions.
At this time, it should be easier for people to accept the method of not closing the door. As for what this method is, we will discuss it later.
Anyway, taking one step at a time is better than the current situation of not knowing where to take the next step. Although doing so will come at a considerable cost.
After thinking about this, old Mr. Kawei became less repulsive to everyone's discussion. Although the former grand duke, who was the commander of the coalition forces, would not speak during the discussion between the staff and the generals, no matter how deeply his attitude was hidden, everyone would still feel it to some extent.
Even if there is no explicit objection, it will make people think that there are shortcomings in his own proposal that prevent this combative old man from agreeing.
Now that the attitude has softened, everyone is again considering whether any suggestion suits the old man's heart. The generals and staff were having a heated discussion here, but they did not let the soldiers do nothing or talk nonsense.
When the snow melted, a lot of training was rescheduled, and preparations for the march were also made. At a time when the demon coalition forces are turning their heads to fight in other directions, it is unacceptable for the soldiers to stay safely on this line of defense.
So marching is inevitable, but no one knows where to go yet. So there’s nothing wrong with making some preparations in advance.
A small group of troops was even ordered to take the lead in crossing the Fengdi Mountains and preparing to enter the no-man's land where there was no trace of the enemy.
In addition to reconnaissance, their purpose is also to serve as an outpost for future large forces. Such as camp planning, construction, etc.
But the busiest one is the airship unit, and it is a new type of fast airship of the same type as the Twin Griffins.
What happened to the north of the mountain range was the result of the airship troop's investigation. In order to formulate a more detailed plan, of course, intelligence from the north is indispensable.
For this reason, more airships passed through the passage above the Fengdi Mountains and went to the north of the mountain to conduct reconnaissance.
Understanding the movements of demons and orcs after the beginning of spring is the most important thing. Compare the reconnaissance results from previous rescue missions and try to figure out the marching routes of each unit to determine the intentions of the enemy commander.
Even if they don't guess the opponent's strategic intentions, figuring out the enemy's current location and thinking about whether there is any advantageous place are also the focus of the staff officers.
Although after the war begins, the general direction will be towards the Gate of the Abyss. But it doesn't mean that there are small groups of troops that can be eaten easily. The human coalition should let them go and focus on the main target.
Of course, it is impossible for such a huge troop movement to have only one route and move forward in a single file.
So where the different parts will pass by, you can make a big fuss here. However, the cutting-edge airship Twin Griffins was not included in the troops sent out for reconnaissance.
Because the seriously injured commander has not yet returned to the army. Although Ezio woke up, he was not allowed to leave the hospital yet.
The reason was that Marquise Balan's surgery was perfect, but there were still unknown hidden injuries that had not recovered, and this injury was still destroying Ezio's body functions.
So the commander who always took the lead was retained and became a guinea pig for research. The Marquise is checking every day to find the reason.
After all, under normal circumstances, people of Ezio's level would not have the chance to become the research subjects of doctors.
For example, people at the Ezio level have very strong physical fitness, and ordinary diseases will not happen to them.
In the face of some internal and external injuries, they also have self-healing methods. They don't need to go to a doctor, and they won't go to a doctor.
Because doctors are not as familiar with this body as themselves. Once outside help is needed, it is usually quite serious or even near death.
This situation does not happen often. It is possible only when you encounter enemies of the same level or during a big battle.
The orc half-man made Ezio obediently enter the hospital without any resistance. Medical science has begun to move the progress bar of physical research on these warriors who are already different from ordinary people.
Among them, the effect caused by the dragon's blood surprised Queen Balan the most. Dragon Blood's transformation is indeed a literal 'transformation', rather than a simple enhancement of physical fitness.
Although it cannot be seen from his appearance, Ezio looks no different from ordinary humans except that he is stronger.
But judging from the inspection results at a deeper level, Ezio has broken away from the limitations of the concept of 'human' and moved towards another level of life form.
'Extraordinary', such a term instantly appeared in Marquis Balan's mind. It's just that Ezio hasn't completely crossed a certain stage yet, but is in a transitional state of transformation.
As for how to truly complete the transformation, the Marquise certainly had no way of knowing. She only knew one thing, and that was that the secret trick left by the orc half on Ezio was not just an injury.
There is also very strange energy that is incompatible with this body, so it causes damage. This phenomenon even alarmed Fen, who led the former lich to come to the southern defense line of the mountains from the holy city of Estali.
This is also the reason why Ezio is able to move freely without hindrance despite knowing that his body still has hidden injuries, and why he wants to return to the front line but is unable to do so.
The Marquise Balan alone could not suppress this restless young man. But if Fen takes action, let alone being nourished by dragon blood, even if Ezio is really a dragon, he will be suppressed.
In order to avoid having his legs broken and forced to stay in the hospital to suffer, Ezio chose to cooperate obediently.
That elder sister is the one who says to break her legs, she just chooses to break one or both.
But Fen didn't stay long before returning to the Holy City. Because the northern offensive has been determined, the army has also set off one after another, crossing the Fengdi Mountains.
The plan of attack was developed very quickly. Because no one wants the Demon Alliance to realize their vulnerabilities, react, and let this once-in-a-lifetime fighter jet disappear before their eyes.
Now that the army has taken action, the Twin Griffins certainly have their mission. As the commander, Ezio cannot continue to stay in the hospital unless he is willing to step down from this responsibility.
Of course, Ezio was unwilling to be absent from such a battle, so he tried his best to win over the sister who had always been afraid of him.
Fen came to the hospital on the defensive line just because Ezio's condition was quite special and aroused her interest.
But that's all, it's not to the point of wanting to dissect the other party. So Ezio begged to go, and she let him go.
Fen will leave because she doesn't want to get too involved in this boring war. It's not that I'm afraid of the existence of certain people participating in the war, it's just that it's troublesome.
