Lin En's battle plan is very simple, which is to use superior firepower to defeat or cripple the two sides before they formally come into contact as much as possible!
Never give yourself a chance to get close to the other party...
"The goal I give you is to end every battle with zero casualties!" Lin En said decisively.
Zero casualties?
Rowan was completely stunned. No one who had been exposed to war would say such stupid things.
But after carefully thinking about Lin En's tactics, Rowan suddenly realized that it seemed not impossible.
He had seen that thing called artillery in the Alchemy Research Institute. Although it was not as powerful as the magic crystal cannon, its range was much longer. The most important thing was that it could be mass-produced quickly.
The only troublesome part is that the artillery usually requires some basic mathematical knowledge, and the only way to select suitable personnel is from the wizard apprentices. Until now, the formation has not been completed.
If there were a hundred such artillery pieces and a burst of bombardment, without the intervention of an enemy at the level of the Cardinal, it would really be possible to eliminate the opponent out of sight...
Rowan couldn't help but feel that war could still be fought like this.
"But what if the enemy sends cavalry to outflank him?" After hesitating, Luo Wen quickly thought of the omissions in this tactic and asked eagerly.
Lin En looked at Rowan with strange eyes and said speechlessly. "What do you think our alchemy armored vehicles are used for?"
Yes, Rowan suddenly realized that they still had this big killer, and his expression immediately became excited. In his mind, he imagined the enemy's cavalry charging over and being crushed into pieces by the fast-moving alchemy armored vehicles.
"In this way, at least you don't have to worry too much about the frontal battlefield." Rowan's heart suddenly relaxed.
When he learned that the Wizarding Land was going to war with the Church, Rowan was so worried that he couldn't sleep all night. After all, the gap in conventional strength was too big. Now it seems that the situation is not that bad.
Linn is not so optimistic, because all these assumptions are based on the situation that the enemy is an ordinary army. In this world with divine magic and magic, anything can happen.
Just as he was thinking about it, Lin En's expression suddenly paused, and his brows furrowed slightly, as if he was sensing something.
"Master Lin En, what's wrong?" Rowan asked cautiously.
"It's information about the Kingdom of [Hadra Tower]." Linn's eyes flickered.
While William's confidants were staying in Ieta, he arranged a secret plot among these people. Although William was indeed very capable, these boatmen could only be described as loyal, and their families also All are being held hostage.
But the so-called loyalty is often just that the bargaining chip for betrayal is not enough. He offered a price that the other party simply could not refuse. He did not expect that it would come into play so soon.
"As I thought, that William is indeed not very peaceful. He has discovered something strange in the Sea of Mist." Linn continued to speak.
Rowan's heart was relieved immediately, and he quickly asked about the whole story, whether a war was about to start.
Linn shook his head. William probably wouldn't report it until he got the method of locating the Wizard's Land. Otherwise, for his behavior of smuggling supplies to the Wizard's Land, dying a hundred times wouldn't be enough!
But this trouble has been dragging on for so long, so it’s time to deal with it!
…
At the same time, in a manor outside the royal capital of [Hadera Tower], Cody walked into the wizard's base camp with trepidation.
He came with a mission from William, but Cody himself did not have high hopes for this, because even the attendants in the manor were under surveillance and could not get any information. It was obvious that these wizards had already Be prepared.
Sure enough, after entering the manor this time, the wizard named Orlando did not allow him to wander around, but took him directly to the living room.
Cody could only bite the bullet and discuss the profit sharing issue with the other party. Orlando and others had already made a concession before. Now that the old matter was brought up again, it would be better if they were not directly expelled.
However, to his expectation, although the reaction of several people in Orlando was very fierce, their focus was on discussing the balance between risks and benefits.
Is it possible that, as Sir William said, there has been a big mess in the Wizarding Land, and now they cannot do without them?
Cody was thinking to himself, and Lauder's expression suddenly changed, and then he said directly. "I need to talk to William in person!"
"But Mr. William has been seriously ill recently, and it is not convenient to go out now." Cody shook his head and refused.
"Since he is still in the mood to care about whether he has earned enough imperial gold coins, it seems that his illness is not serious enough!" Laud said sarcastically.
Cody also looked a little embarrassed, but he forced himself to calm down and said that he needed to ask for advice before making a decision.
Watching Cody leave, everyone present looked worried, and Linn's figure also appeared in the living room.
"Lord Linn, do you think William will agree?" Lauder asked hesitantly.
"Why not? He can't get useful information from other places." Linn said with a smile.
Probably because the work he did was not visible to the public, William was very cautious on weekdays. For some unknown reason, he never left his bunker in the past two years.
Very few people have even seen his true face. Most people only know that Viscount William of the Kingdom is a kind-looking fat man who runs the fleet's trade, and that's all.
What's more important is that the place is not far from the church's headquarters, so it is difficult for them to adopt a strong attack strategy.
"But what if it's a trap?" Lauder was a little worried.
"Of course this will be a trap. So it's up to you to watch your performance next, Lauder." Linn said confidently, then patted Lauder on the shoulder and continued.
"You are my right-hand man and you don't know magic. Cody also knows this information. For safety reasons, William will most likely let you go."
The corners of Lauder's mouth twitched involuntarily. He had just escaped from the tiger's mouth and entered the wolf's den again.
However, compared to the previous meeting with Anthony, the fear in Lauder's heart was not that strong, because he knew that Linn could project part of his power at any time through the [Ring of the Mystery].
As long as William is solved, he can take over his power, no longer as dispensable as before, and can become Lord Linn's most important right-hand man. Lauder silently comforted himself in his heart...
