"The combat plan of shooting arrows from the top of the cliff, falling rocks from high altitude, and being condescending is common sense but effective. But who can explain why the hundreds of miles long canyon was used as an ambush and only created less than ten thousand monsters?" casualties?"
The question raised by Baron is not a question, but a real confusion. If it is true, as the military counselor said, that monsters do not possess the dialectical thinking of intelligent life, then what is the reason that allows them to avoid this ambush exquisitely?
Seeing that everyone was silent, Baron raised his head and looked at the girl who was pretending to think: "Artoris, what do you think?"
"Ah? Me?" She didn't expect Baron to call her, and Artolis was obviously stunned for a moment. However, after feeling the eyes of everyone, Artolis also swallowed her saliva. , and then put forward his own opinions.
"Well, is there a possibility that the opponent has the ability to foresee the future or sense danger in advance?"
"Pfft~"
Artorise's words almost made everyone laugh. Looking at the indifferent Verafa and Garius who had nothing to do with him, the rest of the people were suppressing their laughter. His face turned red.
However, just when Artoris felt that her speculation was ill-considered, Barong snapped his fingers.
"A good view," he said.
"Eh?" After hearing this, everyone was stunned, including Artolis.
"Actually, what I said is nonsense. Don't you just believe it just to find a way out for me?!"
Despite Atoris's explanation, Baron's expression did not look like she was joking. Nelvana, who was a little puzzled by this, quickly stopped her smile and turned to cast a questioning look at Baron: "How can you be sure that the Demon King's army has the ability to predict the future? You have obviously never even experienced that battle personally!"
Taking a leisurely look at the other party's expression, Baron said: "I can't be sure, so I only regard Artoris's statement as a hypothesis, and on top of that, I have a question to ask the commander of our Empire's First Army. In your opinion, if the opponent really has the ability to predict the future, how should you, as a commander, respond?"
"Let me think about it... can you come up with a clever strategy outside of logic to try to avoid the other party's prophecy and prevent it from becoming a prophecy?"
"This is a fallacy." Baron shook his head disapprovingly, and then looked around for a week: "As for other people, can they have a solution to the problem? It doesn't matter their identity or not, they can put forward their own opinions."
Neluvana's military advisor and many famous military personnel present came forward to express their opinions, but all they received were Baron's denial.
Artoris had long seen a servant standing in the corner who seemed to have his own ideas, but it seemed that due to his low status, he did not have the courage to stand up and put forward his own opinions.
On the other side, Barong also noticed the abnormal behavior of the girl, but he ignored it. In this way, everyone failed to get the answer that Baron wanted, and everyone felt depressed. They all thought that the man in front of them had just won the command from Nervana, and they deliberately used their energy for entertainment.
"Um...can I tell you my opinion?" Finally, in the silence that surrounded the scene, the girl mustered up the courage to raise her hand.
Hearing this, everyone turned their gazes away, and after seeing the girl's humble and trembling body, they showed a scornful attitude.
Most of the people who have the right to speak in the empire are the noble races of the elves. If it were not for Nervana and Garius, who are not lacking in force and are easy to control, inferior races such as humans and orcs would have no more than a dream to be on an equal footing with them. , it’s simply a fantasy.
Perhaps it was because Barong, who now held the highest command, was also a human being. With a sense of closeness among her own race, the girl made a conscious choice to stand up bravely.
"Please don't care about your status. If you have any opinions, please speak up." Of course, it was not pity, and Barong just gave her such an opportunity equally.
Looking into Barong's eyes, the girl took a deep breath and said: "Actually, my idea is very simple. Since the other party has the ability to predict the future, as long as all the futures that the other party is destined to arrive are blocked, the other party's foresight will be limited. It no longer has the effect of reversing the situation.”
"Since you can think of this, how about giving an intuitive example?" Seeing everyone's eyebrows raised, Barong sat on the side edge of the sand table with interest and gestured with a slightly expectant tone. The girl continued.
"Just like...it's easy for the soldiers of the empire to avoid the fireball spell released by the entry-level magician, but if the target of the fireball is replaced by Grand Magister Ryder..."
"It's absolutely impossible to avoid it." Barong took over the other party's words and nodded with satisfaction.
"Do you understand, do you need me to repeat it again?"
"You mean to ask the other party an either-or problem without leaving an optimal solution to the other party, forcing the other party to make a choice between "two evils"? "The discerning military strategist was the first to have an epiphany. However, upon careful consideration, this plan seemed too ideal, and in fact it was not very feasible.
However, Baron's ability to come up with such an idea has actually been recognized by military advisors and senior officials. His understanding is sufficient and he is indeed qualified to serve as the supreme commander to a certain extent.
But what Baron really wants to do is not limited to getting the approval of these old guys. Since he has taught them the most basic dialectical thinking method, the strategies formulated based on this no longer need any further explanation. .
…
"Interesting, he is truly worthy of the name of "Sage of Heaven's Wisdom". It seems that the commander of our First Army has indeed invited an extraordinary person. "
After understanding Barong's detailed strategy, the senior management present showed a high degree of appreciation after analysis.
Although in Artolis' view, that strategy was not as brilliant as those old guys praised, but after listening to it, she had to sigh that it was indeed a strategy that only Baron could come up with, and it was extremely feasible.
"Ask those soldiers to work in groups of five and form a standard detachment like the adventurers. This is really yours. If Qianyin sees it, she will definitely have a headache."
"After all, Qianyin has always asked Mo Yi for advice on Chinese military art. If she is allowed to be the commander, she will definitely promote the art of military use. And I am not good at this aspect." Balong said with a little helplessness He shook his head: "My abilities are limited, and I only care about the general strategy. Above that, I can only expect those soldiers to protect themselves with their own strength."
"But that's enough. The position of commander is important, but you can't expect to turn the tide of a last-ditch battle with just one command." After the rough words fell, the two turned around to see Gallius riding a brown-black horse. The horses approached, picked up the struggling Neruvana and threw her into the carriage where they were.
"The command order has been given, but you still pulled me to the front line, but you have good intentions?" Nervana shook her flowing fiery red hair and found a corner to sit down with a depressed look on her face.
"As the newly appointed commander, I do not have absolute authority among the soldiers of the empire. It will be necessary for you to come forward to convey my orders." Baron explained this.
"The command has been given to you, what are those guys not convinced about?"
"Hey, this is different." Garius, who was riding a horse on the side, joined the conversation with a smile.
"Just like Nirvana, you are indeed my superior in terms of position, but the more than a thousand soldiers under me only obey my orders. If you don't believe me, you can call me and see if they listen. Don’t listen to you?”
"Captain, please don't embarrass us." Hearing what Gallius said, the soldiers on horseback suddenly felt ashamed.
"Hehehahaha~"
"It will take at least two days to get to the front line. Before that, take a good rest." He said to Nervana, Barong leaned his upper body back and put his remaining arm under the back of his head. Close your eyes and rest your mind.
"Oh, right!" He said to Nervana before his voice calmed down.
"Let them promote the girl just now, and let her be your adjutant in the future. You don't have to let smart and courageous people go unappreciated. Of course, I hope that after this battle, the senior officials can also let go of their past prejudices. God He is dead, now is the time of humanity.”
Hearing what he said, Neruvana, who had been filled with resentment before, had a hint of emotion in her eyes. She looked out the window with those incomprehensible crystals. The mountains were endless, green and steep, and the place was not stained by gunpowder smoke.
