Game of the World Tree - Chapter 680

680. Chapter 677 Battle Plan (Update)

Riding a beautiful unicorn given by the elves, Sophia stopped on a raised hill.

The huge Zeppelin airship was suspended in the air, and countless monsters were flying around it. Under the hill, the mighty elven army filled the field of vision, making everyone who saw this scene couldn’t help but feel shocked.

The half-elf girl was the same.

Especially when she thought that the elves gathered here came from all over the place just because of her commission, she was even more excited, and naturally felt some pressure.

However, Sophia knew that it might be more appropriate to say that it was a sense of responsibility rather than pressure.

A hundred thousand troops…

Such a large number of troops, such elite equipment, even if placed on the side of the empire, although it would not sweep everything, it was definitely not to be underestimated, and it could attract the real attention of the empire’s top leaders.

You know, even when the border earl rebelled, the empire only sent the third guard corps directly under the empire and recruited some mercenaries.

The nearly 100,000-strong imperial expeditionary army did not even use many of the direct conscripts provided by the imperial nobles. At most, the nobles in the northern border controlled by the Rosen family provided a lot of their own family soldiers as auxiliary troops and reserve legions…

Although all the participants were reduced to ashes under the slap of the “God of Dusk and Sunset”, it was far from a serious injury to the huge empire. At most, it was a pain in the flesh.

The first major force in the human kingdom, the powerful empire that almost unified the entire Segos world, was not exaggerated.

Even though it has declined a lot compared to its heyday, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse.

However, this is also because the Segos world is not a low-energy world like Blue Star.

The existence of extraordinary power makes all activities in this world appear more active. The mobilization potential of war and social production are stronger than Blue Star, and the explosive growth of population is more frequent than Blue Star…

If the entire empire’s war machine is fully operational, it is completely possible to recruit a million troops in Sophia’s opinion.

And… the number of middle and high-level professionals in this army will account for a very scary proportion.

However, the extraordinary world is the extraordinary world after all.

In the extraordinary world, sometimes the quantity is terrible, but the quality is more important.

Take the Maple Leaf Territory for example. Although it is one of the richer territories (states) in the empire, its war potential is definitely far less than that of the entire Holy Mania Empire.

But even so, Border Bo Otto von Cappadocia still has the confidence to establish an independent country. This is the courage given to him by the myth behind it…

Similarly, the 100,000 elves gathered around her. In addition to her own commission, Sophia also knew very well that this was also the will of the goddess!

Just as the citizens before leaving Gray Harbor were amazed, this was not just the girl’s commission, but also a holy war representing the will of the goddess!

Of course, it was not without any worries.

After officially setting off, Sophia was depressed to find that for some reason, the elf chosen ones who participated in the holy war liked to gather around her very much. Wherever she went, they followed her, making it almost impossible for the girl to move.

It was not until she could not help but complain to several commanders of the Elf Corps and the commander-in-chief, Lord Li Mu, that the elves gradually stopped pestering her and gave her space to move freely.

Sophia did not know that this was a normal gathering effect in the game.

In any online game, players are always used to gathering around the task NPC when doing group tasks, both to protect the NPC and to increase their favorability.

The elves gradually stopped pestering her, not only because of the orders of the high-level commanders of the big guild, but also because they found that doing so did not seem to increase their favorability, but also seemed to reduce it by a few points…

Just as Sophia stopped on the hillside, looking at the mighty elf army below and thinking about the future, suddenly, an elf Chosen who was also riding a unicorn and followed by a flying elemental fairy came to the girl.

“Miss Sophia, all the elf Chosen who participated in the war have crossed the Vimur River, and the statues and teleportation arrays have been placed. What are your plans next?”

It was Li Mu.

The statue he mentioned was naturally the statue of the goddess, which was specially used to maintain the operation of the teleportation array.

The Border Territory is now occupied by the forces of the God of Dusk and Sunset. The Eternal Church has lost control of the entire territory, so the space blockade that prohibits teleportation is naturally broken.

Although there is intelligence that the cities and towns in Maple Leaf Territory have now replaced the statues of the God of Dusk and Sunset, and a new faith network is rapidly forming, and the space blockade is only a matter of time…

but the banks of the Vimur River are very close to the Forest of Elves. As long as the statue of the goddess is placed here, the space blockade of the evil god can still be isolated.

As for why the statue and the teleportation array are placed after crossing the river…

it is naturally because the vine bridge for the army to pass is just a temporary magic performed by the girl with the help of the power of the true god.

Such magic will shrink and dissipate after the time limit, so it is necessary to find a more stable way to transmit military forces across the river.

As long as the first teleportation array is successfully arranged and the first statue is successfully arranged, it is like a nail in Maple Leaf Territory, which can continuously expand the sphere of influence of the goddess step by step.

This…is also a common operation of various forces in the world of Segos in the holy war.

“You should have a detailed battle plan, right? Since you have chosen to cross the river, you plan to attack from the heart of Maple Leaf Territory first and block the route between the Western Territory of the Empire and Maple Leaf Territory.” “

As for the details, I think you should have already thought about it, so just act according to your plan.”

“Although I am the client, I don’t know much about marching and fighting. Teacher Rongrong once told me that the elves have a popular saying when he was preaching and answering questions, which is to let professionals do professional things. I agree with it.”

“So… please let go and do it. Just tell me the specific plan and how you need me to cooperate.”

Looking at the respectful elf commander, Sophia said seriously.

Li Mu: …

He coughed lightly, and then said:

“Yes, after our discussion, the plan we made is indeed consistent with the route you thought of.”

“Maple Leaf Territory is still at war with the Holy Mannia Empire. If we launch an attack on Maple Leaf Territory directly from the west bank of the Vimur River, we will have to directly capture Maple Leaf City in the west of the territory, then capture Zerolan, the port hub of the Vimur River, and then capture the entire Maple Leaf Border Territory on the east bank of the river.”

“But in this case, our victory may be missed by the Empire. When we inflict heavy damage to the Border Lord, the Empire may take the opportunity to capture the territory on the east bank of the Vimur River in Maple Leaf Territory…” “

So… after repeated discussions, we plan to cross the western part of Maple Leaf Territory and directly attack the northeastern part to occupy the city of Ogus in the north of Maple Leaf Territory.”

“Ogus City is the only way from the western territory to Maple Leaf Territory. If we occupy this place, we will block the route of the imperial army to the south, and we can safely take over the entire Maple Leaf Territory.”

Maple Leaf Territory is located in the southwest border of the Holy Mania Empire, like a protruding corner.

The plan proposed by Li Mu is indeed feasible.

However, Sophia frowned slightly:

“It’s a good plan, but Ogus City does not belong to Maple Leaf Territory, but to Western Territory. Our holy war target is only Maple Leaf Territory. Will this cause a backlash from the empire?”

After hearing the girl’s words, Li Mu chuckled:

“We have received intelligence that Ogus City has been captured by the Border Earl’s army. Now the Border Earl… oh no, the Red Maple Kingdom’s army is attacking the hinterland of Western Territory.”

“If we take down Ogus now, it will also fall within the scope of our holy war.”

Sophia nodded slightly:

“This approach may cause controversy after the war, but as long as it succeeds, it is indeed feasible.”

But soon, she frowned again:

“It’s just that… Ogus is a fortress city, and the core area of the city is a towering castle standing on a hill. If it cannot be captured in a short period of time, Otto’s army may be able to come back in time for support.”

“If he can summon the evil god for the first time, he can summon it for the second time. If that happens… the army exposed outside the city will be very dangerous.”

After listening to the words of the half-elf girl, Li Mu still smiled:

“Summon the evil god? Isn’t that better?”

Sophia was slightly stunned, but she quickly reacted.

If it were other forces, they would probably be afraid of the appearance of the evil god, but only the elves would not… If

the evil god can take action, how can Her Majesty the Goddess, who is rumored to be living in seclusion in the Forest of Elves, not do the same?

“If that’s the case, then there’s no problem, but we have to capture Ogus City as soon as possible and then disperse the troops to avoid accidents.”

Sophia thought for a while and said.

“Of course, since we have chosen to attack Ogus City, we have to capture it unexpectedly. Two days… In just two days, we can preach the faith in Ogus City.”

Li Mu said confidently.

“Two days?”

Sophia was slightly stunned.

The army moves slowly. Even if the elves are much faster than the human army, it will take at least half a day to get from the banks of the Vimur River to Ogus City.

And two days… That means the city must be captured within one day.

However, even when the evil god appeared, the morale of the defenders of Ogus City collapsed, and the city lords and nobles fled first, it is rumored that the soldiers and citizens remaining in Ogus City also relied on the terrain to resist the siege of the border army for half a month…

Although the elves have a hundred thousand troops, the guards of Ogus City at this moment are definitely the elite of the Red Maple Kingdom. How can the elves capture it within one day?

Looking at the puzzled girl, Li Mu did not give a direct answer.

He smiled mysteriously, looked at the airship in the sky, and said,

“Miss Sophia.”

“Have you heard of dimensionality reduction strike?”

…

In the north of Maple Leaf Territory, there is the city of Augs.

This is a big city at the junction of Maple Leaf Territory and the Western Territory of the Empire. It once had a population of more than 200,000 and was also the entrance from the Western Territory to Maple Leaf Territory.

The city was built on a hill, and there is a magnificent castle on the hill, overlooking the crescent-shaped city.

That is Forzer Castle, which belongs to the Forzer family, and is also the noble family that rules this city. The head of the family is Viscount Forzer.

On the other side of the castle is a beautiful lake called Lake Augs. It is said that this name is transliterated from the Elven language, meaning beautiful.

The lake is located on the west side of the city, and there is a winding river running through the lake, extending to the distance until it merges into the Vimur River in the west…

In the impression of the imperial people, the scenery of Augs is charming.

Neat and beautiful streets, sparkling lakes, lush forests, and endless green wheat fields in the distance…

If it weren’t for the war, this would be a famous resort in the West. Almost every famous noble family in the western part of the empire has lakeside villas and manors here.

However, everything has changed now.

Border Earl rebelled and established the Red Maple Kingdom. He personally led his army north to launch a holy war against the empire. The frightened Folzer family fled with their families and abandoned their people.

Although the remaining old and weak soldiers and people in Ogus City spontaneously formed an army to resist, they were ultimately unable to compete with the Red Maple Kingdom’s army. After less than half a month, the city fell.

The Red Maple Kingdom army that captured the city gathered the nobles who surrendered and converted, and launched a bloody looting, suppression and massacre against the rebels in the city. All pagans were either slaughtered or forced to convert.

The current city’s population has been reduced by almost half.

And the city has lost its former prosperity and bustle and has become much quieter.

There were few citizens coming and going on the street, and most of the houses on both sides had their doors tightly closed. It was unknown whether they were deserted or to avoid the unbridled Maple Kingdom soldiers in the city.

Even though the siege had been going on for many days, the strong smell of blood in the air and the smell of burning houses were still pungent… From time to time, blackened bloodstains could be seen on the roadside.

Fort Forze, the observation tower.

This was the highest point in the entire city. Not only could it overlook the entire city of Augs, it also served as a sentry post for vigilance.

The tower was specially equipped with magic props produced by the Elf Forest that could be used for long-distance vision, and could clearly see a range of nearly 20 kilometers.

At this moment, a Maple Kingdom soldier was standing on the tower, on duty.

The Maple Kingdom’s army had already attacked the hinterland of the Western Territory and was fighting the reorganized punitive army of the Imperial Army. Strictly speaking, this place was no longer considered a front line.

So… although they were on duty, the soldiers were obviously much more relaxed.

But even so, he would occasionally use the magic telescope to look into the distance, or look up to see if there were any magic beasts in the sky responsible for reconnaissance.

However, when he lazily looked up at the sky again, he found an oval-shaped object in the sky moving quickly towards the direction of the city.

“What is that?”

He frowned slightly.
