The gluttonous dragon starts from the plane of hell

Chapter 262 Conservative and Radical

Belsch's speed in gathering troops was super fast, so he didn't need to shout "I need to regroup" or anything like that.

Almost in the early morning of the next day, they arrived at the plain to the west of the royal city at a super fast marching speed... The large troops of the Violet Kingdom gathered here.

But there are not too many troops gathered here yet.

Bel Xi and the others are very fast... But even so, it seems that the eldest princess has sent an advance force to attack Yaoyicheng.

It's not that the eldest princess was too anxious and launched an attack before the large army assembled.

It's just that the eldest princess feels that there is no need to wait for such an action, and it is possible to test at any time, as long as the information is shared later.

Yes, this is a temptation, this is just a feint.

And the advance team... can also be called the [Death Squad], they are the pioneers and the victims.

"..."

"Mr. Marquis Longlong, this is what we have discovered."

A knight sent by the eldest princess said, passed the parchment, and then knelt on one knee, waiting in place.

"So, you can directly call me Your Excellency Bercy, or Mr. Bercy, and stop calling me by my noble title."

The shrunken Bercy complained, looked at the knight who nodded respectfully, and looked at the parchment spread by Seven Island Semu with his tentacles.

It records the information passed back by the death squads.

【Hmmm, the devil's army appeared densely near the city of Yiyi, and extended a long way to the king's city, and patrolled in a fixed area. 】

[Hmmm, it seems that the central area will become our battle point... The front line is so long horizontally, it feels like we will be fighting on multiple fronts at the same time. 】

Seven Island Semu's analysis is correct, and Bercy also thinks so... However, this is beneficial to both the devil and them.

Multi-front fighting is in line with the chaotic fighting habits of the barbarians, and also matches the current fragmented situation of the kingdom.

If there is an intensive battle, maybe the internal fight will start first.

Of course, this is hard to say...

[Then there is “the image transmitted back by the device”. What does this mean? 】

Seven Island Semu was a little confused, but Bercy thought of something, and said, "The photo is probably taken by the camera [Stovefire] before."

[I guess so... The video shows that there are almost no barbarians among the devil's frontline troops, but they are all "walking corpses" with countless levels of fourth level. 】

[Um...walking corpse? 】

"The walking corpse..."

Bercy and Seven Island Semu thought for a while. In the contract with the devil, it seemed that the troops used by the other party were barbarians.

Hmm...not right, the other party said that they will use barbarians instead of [only] barbarians, it seems that this is a play on words.

[Speechless, the devil is cunning!Die die! 】

"What kind of mixture of hometown dialect...walking zombie words..."

Bercy was so thoughtful, he vaguely remembered undead creatures like walking corpses, the use of physical attacks was of little significance...

Flame or light are most effective.

Bersi, who was judging like this, looked at the Northern Territory troops who were quickly setting up camp, especially the mage girl who used the wind element to set up a tent.

In other words, is it okay to waste mana like this?
"So, I want to write a letter and send it back to the eldest princess, but my hand...is not good at holding a pen, can you help me verbally convey it?"

Bercy suggested, while the knight in front of him slightly raised his head, and nodded to him to indicate that there was no problem.

"Well first of all, I think it's better not to call the priests first and not to gather the priests together."

【Huh?why? 】

Seven Island Semu was a little confused. She didn't know why the eldest brother said that. She still remembered... For this kind of undead creature, the effect of holy light attack is really very good.

When encountering the holy light, whether it is a walking corpse or a ghoul, it will melt like white snow exposed to the sun in summer.

However, to Nanajima Semu's surprise, the knight showed a look of surprise and responded: "Her Royal Highness the Princess also said so."

Well, say?say what?
【ah?Say...don't gather priests? 】

The doubts in Semu's heart turned into small question marks, which appeared on her jelly, and then a flash of inspiration flashed in her heart: [Trap? 】

Yes, it's a trap, so to speak...

"That's it, the eldest princess is also aware of it, it's embarrassing."

As Bercy said, he scratched his scales in embarrassment: "That's what I thought..."

"Everyone knows that the effect of holy light is very good for walking zombies. I think the devil thinks so too, so there may be a trap."

"If I were a devil, I would mix the walking corpses into the barbarians to fight, reducing the loss of troops... In this way, we need to spend more resources to clear the same number of enemies."

The concept of "resources" that Bercy said made Nanoshima Semu look sideways... She wondered if her elder brother was crazy about playing games.

"How did the eldest princess arrange it?"

"..."

Regarding Bercy's words, the knight stayed in place silently... It's not convenient to disclose such things as tactical arrangements.

Bercy also realized this. He smiled indifferently and said, "My idea is to form a team with four to five knights, a priest, and a spellcaster."

"Similar to the configuration of the [Vatican Knights Squad], and then advance in the mode of many squads... to prevent accidents."

"..."

In response to this, the knight who was kneeling on one knee immediately raised his head with sweat on his face, and his face was full of "Don't you know this very clearly?" ] expression.

Bercy was overjoyed on the spot.

"So...am I right again?"

Yes, the Eldest Princess' plan is obviously similar to Bercy's... even a lot of wording is very similar.

"Yes, besides the caster...why join the caster?"

To the knight's question, Bercy answered very simply: "Why not? Mages can use fireballs to deal effective damage, and they can also release acceleration spells to ensure the mobility of the team and avoid many accidents."

[Brother is right! 】

"That's right. If Lord Longlong Marquis has nothing else to say... I will return to His Highness the Princess."

Both Semu Nananoshima and the knights on the ground felt that what Belsi said made sense.

"..."

"Hey, in the end you still call me Marquis Longlong."

Bercy's face was ashen, and he felt that he could no longer get rid of this title: "However, the eldest princess and I want to go together."

[Indeed, there is such a connection... No, it was actually the eldest brother and the eldest princess who made the right strategy. 】

Nanoshima Semu said so.

Just like a test paper, two people have the same answer to a certain question, but this does not prove that the two have a tacit understanding.

Just because [the answer] is like that, the answer is nothing more than that.

"It's not necessarily true... After all, it's possible that the devil didn't expect this at all, or the other party is on the third floor."

As Bercy said, he propped his chin and looked at everyone in the Northern Territory who had settled down, explaining: "Maybe this is the other party's purpose instead."

"It is to use an obvious [unreasonable] combat plan to guide us to detect abnormalities and use such a more conservative but slower strategy."

"This saves them time in building traps, and can also buy them time... It's possible."

Indeed, time...

There are only 49 days left, today is the first day, and it’s almost night.

Time is a very, very important factor in this war, this contract, and this bet.

【Then, we really should call the priest quickly...】

Seven Islands Semu was halfway through his words, and suddenly realized something: [But the devil may also be on the second floor, without playing against logic at all, or it may be on the fourth floor, predicting our predictions, and took time to set up Trapped...It's also possible...]

【No, no, no...】

Looking at Semu Nanashima who was stunned by him, Belxi chuckled and raised his head, looking in the direction of Yaoyicheng.

the devil?What exactly are you longing for?

Let me witness it.

----------

At night, a team composed of [five knights, a clergyman, and a mage] started a tentative attack in the direction of Yiyi City.

There are a total of twenty such teams.

After conducting many attacks, they achieved very good results and successfully pushed the front forward for a period of time.

But compared to the entire battlefield, it can only be regarded as a small achievement.

"This is still too conservative."

"Perhaps we should simply let the priests form a small team..."

"But clergy are too fragile."

"Maybe the devils didn't lay an ambush?"

"Should more teams be sent?"

"It's not okay to rush forward."

"How about a hundred [511] squads? Advance in multiple directions at the same time, forming a long front."

"It can be considered later, but the current supply team is not in place yet, and the logistics do not support this."

"Damn, what are the logistics doing?!"

"..."

The room where the combat meeting was taking place sounded very noisy, but everyone was brainstorming and there was no real scolding.

Many people are discussing the battle ideas. Although no one communicates directly with the eldest princess, it is obvious that some people have more radical ideas.

The eldest princess was a little hesitant in her own thoughts.

Well, is this conservative approach really okay?
The eldest princess is also a little skeptical. In this contract war, time is too important - seven to seven 49 days.

The front line must be advanced at least 1/49 every day, which is about 2%, but the result tonight is not even 1%, not even 0.5%.

Although it is related to the fact that the troops have not been fully assembled, the calculation cannot be done in such a simple way...

The most difficult part of the siege is when they are approaching the city, and the siege at that time is the most difficult.

It may even feel like you need to set aside more than ten days.

However, the eldest princess thought about it... Bercy felt that such a plan was good, so there must be no problem with this plan.

Judging the eldest princess in this way, she didn't think there was anything wrong with her thoughts.

Bercy's thinking may be wrong, and his own thinking may also be wrong, but since the two of them have made such considerations at the same time.

How could those two be wrong?
When the eldest princess was thinking this way, a knight rushed in from outside the door: "Report!"

Regarding the knight's sudden report, everyone looked at the knight at the same time, but the information needs the permission of the eldest princess to report.

There was an obvious smile on this knight's face. It seemed like it was some kind of good news... There was no need to hide it from everyone.

"Say."

In response to the Eldest Princess's response and nodding, the knight looked very happy: "Lord Marquis Longlong launched a surprise attack alone in the middle of the night. He didn't advance the front line, but he cleaned up the piles of walking corpses in a big way."

What? !Could it be...

Everyone was stunned and looked in the direction of the eldest princess, thinking that this might be a countermeasure after the two discussed it.

In the middle of the night...?

In the first half of the night, the twenty teams quickly returned to report after launching the attack... Was this just a feint?

In the second half of the night, when the opponent thought there would be no attack, Marquis Longlong launched another attack. It was a good strategy.

Her Royal Highness actually thought of this level, and kept everyone from it?

Afterwards, everyone saw the puzzled expression of the eldest princess... It seems that the eldest princess didn't know about this matter, and it was Marquis Longlong's own initiative.

This matter... is more difficult to say.

If I must say it, actually [making your own decisions] is a very bad thing. Even if you achieve good results, it is still not a good thing.

It mainly depends on what the princess thinks——

and so……

"He wasn't hurt?"

"It looks like the lord is unscathed."

"That's a good thing...thank you for the report."

"Fortunately, I did not disgrace my life, Your Highness."

Well, it seems there is no problem...

Everyone looked at and thought about the eldest princess, and couldn't help but realize... Did the eldest princess care a little too much about Marquis Longlong?
Well, rather than caring and caring, it seems a bit similar to doting?Sometimes you can feel the brilliance of motherhood from Her Royal Highness.

This is a really strange thing.

"Well, a conservative strategy."

The eldest princess pondered, thinking she might have realized something: "I didn't expect this... I was taught a lesson by Bei Xiqing."

Undoubtedly, the answer sheet delivered by Bercy is a [both conservative and radical] strategy, a strategy based entirely on the basic logic of this world.

A dragon that can fly ignores many traps and ambushes.

Powerful power can turn high-level professionals into war machines that harvest the weak... This is the most basic principle.

Quantity is useless, the strong take all.

Although Bercy's class is only the third rank, it is not a problem to leapfrog to kill the fourth rank at all, not to mention that the strength of those walking corpses is also uneven.

It is different from the standard aerial units [Griffon Rider] and [Eagle Rider] of the Violet Kingdom.

Whether it's them or the sub-dragons of the Dragoons, their air superiority is certainly an advantage, but there are still risks.

Their main means of attack is the attack of their mounts, while the knights are responsible for attacking with lances. In any case, they need to get close.

It is also difficult for mages who release flying spells to release other spells that require concentration because they need to maintain flight.

In other words, Bercy's bombing-like air superiority was almost unique, and it was hard to be estimated by the enemy.

"If possible, I really hope to form a real giant dragon army... Let's just say, Red."

"..."

As the head of the dragoon regiment, Reid's companion is the only giant dragon in the kingdom who is willing to help in the battle...but even so.

"With all due respect, Your Royal Highness."

Having said that, Red sighed helplessly: "My companion, I can't command at will. The relationship between her and me... is actually far worse than your relationship with Your Excellency Bercy."

Although these words are saying "I can't fight like Belsi", it expresses my apology that it can't work.

But I don't know why, but the eldest princess is a little happy because of this.

Hehe~ Our relationship turns out to be that good?
