Release that Witch - Chapter 1091

[Chapter 1068 Operation Torch]

The next morning after the sports meeting, when Roland walked into the reception hall, all the officials who had been waiting here stood up in unison.

“Sit down.” He walked to the main seat, looked around, and said loudly, “I think everyone already knows the reason why I summoned you here—the war has already begun!”

“This is not just a matter of the army. From this moment on, I require the managers of every institution in the kingdom and every department of the administrative office to have a basic understanding of the situation and direction of the war, and actively play their own role. Let us work together to deal with this expedition!” He said word by word, “Since the establishment of Neverwinter, everyone has achieved impressive results, but before the crisis of divine will, all of this is like a castle on floating ice—— Take down the ruins of Taquila, and the red mist may engulf the entire continent at any time, and the devil will have no obstacles at that time. Therefore, this battle can only be won, not defeated!”

“Yes, Your Majesty!” Barov and the others said in unison.

“Very good,” Roland looked at Edith, “Next, the General Staff will explain the specific strategic direction.”

“Yes,” Pearl of the North stood up, touching her chest gracefully, “Please allow me to use the big map to explain.”

She walked to Roland’s side and tapped on the map of the Western Territory on the background wall – after many revisions and supplements, this map almost included most of the wild and uninhabited land, and Neverwinter City was also the center of the city from the beginning. The location becomes an insignificant dot on the edge.

Anyone who takes a glance will realize how small the human settlements are, and this is one of Roland’s original intentions.

He hopes that his ministers and officials can look further ahead, instead of indulging in the existing interests all day long.

“The first thing to be sure is that this Northern Expedition is different from what we have experienced in the past, and it will last for a long time.” Edith said straight to the point, “I hope everyone understands that we cannot speed up this battle. The battle is over.”

The vision-obscuring tactics used during the Battle of the North Slope are definitely impossible to do again—the distance between the Misty Forest and the ruins of Taquila is far greater than that of the destroyed outpost, and the time for laying the railway is at least calculated in months. It must be impossible for the devil to be unaware.

On the vast fertile plains, the enemy has an absolute advantage in maneuvering, so Roland gave up the fantasy of winning by surprise at the beginning, and planned to invest superior forces to confront the devil head-on.

There is no doubt that this will be a contest of spear and shield.

This plan is also something that everyone has known for a long time, so no one seems surprised.

Only Barov asked, “So do you have an estimated time?”

“It depends on the strength of the devil’s counterattack.” Edith said calmly, “The General Staff commissioned the Taquila Witch to conduct multiple simulations, assuming that the scale of each enemy attack is similar to that of the Battle of North Slope, every other week Once, within three months we can put the fortress guns in each other’s faces.”

“But they are not fools to repeat the same mistakes over and over again.”

“That’s right, I think the devil will soon notice the role of the railway, and even the hidden forest behind. Of course, we are not unprepared—because the situation of the battle is full of variables, I hope that the administration will use the worst plan to allocate resources.”

“The worst plan is…” Barov frowned.

“From spring to winter, until a new round of evil moon comes.” Edith answered frankly.

“Isn’t that equal to failure?” The boss grinned, “This is not in line with His Majesty’s request.”

“As long as the troops are not withdrawn, the battle is not over. It can be called a stalemate at most.” Beidi Pearl smiled slightly, “Wait until the snow melts in the next year, and then fight again.” Seeing the embarrassment of the ministers of the administrative department, she added One sentence, “However, the possibility of such a situation is not great. After all, the reproduction speed of devils cannot compare with the output of bullets. I am just in case.”

Barov pondered for a moment, “Since this is the case, I need to mobilize food from other territories as a reserve – the Golden No. 2 seed has been distributed to all parts of the kingdom. If there are no accidents, there should be a lot of surplus in this year’s harvest. Collect them all If it is, it can basically meet the needs of the First Army for a year.”

“That’s no problem,” Agriculture Minister Saini Dali responded, “I will write to the town halls in various places later.”

“The work of the Chemical Industry Department should also be adjusted,” Barov continued, “to produce as much gunpowder and explosives as possible.”

“There are only so many people, unless the production of some perfumes and soaps is reduced.” The Minister of Chemical Industry, Kemo Strull, spread his hands.

“Maybe we can rent a group of alchemist apprentices from neighboring countries to support Graycastle…” He looked at Roland, “I heard that Chenxi also has several alchemy workshops, although they are not in the City of Glory, but if His Majesty comes forward, then The Lord of Dawn should do his best to cooperate, and he will certainly not care about the return period. In addition…the First Army still has more than a hundred people stationed in the cage mountain area, and the alchemists of Wolf Heart and Yongdong can also try to think about it. ?”

“In principle, no problem,” Roland nodded with satisfaction, “Let’s make a plan according to your ideas.”

The other party’s performance really made him very happy.

At the beginning of unifying the kingdom, he had thought that the new political system might need two to three years of running-in before it could play its due role.

After all, it is quite difficult to change the inherent thinking-for decades, these people have been accustomed to the secular rules that the territorial affairs belong to the lord and the lords do not interfere with each other, and they are suddenly required to open their eyes and put other Territory is also regarded as a part that can be driven, which is too strong.

Yet he found himself underestimating the allure of power.

When the power in his hands has suddenly expanded several times, even if he is not aware of the nature of the change, he will try to use it, and Barov is the one who performed the best.

Not only did he see the Kingdom of Dawn, but he even thought of the possibility of using the army to exert influence and thus grab resources from further afield.

After everyone’s discussion was over, Edith continued, “However, destroying the devil’s garrison head-on is not enough. For some reason, we must wipe out all the enemies as much as possible. This requires that we need to cut off the devil’s retreat before the final offensive is launched. , including the sky and the ground, and only a witch can do this.”

“Some…reasons?” Barov was puzzled. “Wouldn’t it be a big increase for them to take a detour?”

“Because of the curse.” Roland took up the topic, “There is a high-level devil among the enemies, who can cast magic spells from a long distance. Its working principle is not yet clear, but it is likely to be similar to the church witch Black Veil. If it escapes , Even if the First Army wins, it will be a miserable victory.”

There was a sudden sound of breathing in the hall.

People can kill people just by making eye contact, and the First Army sacrificed more than 700 people in just one meeting, which can be called the biggest casualty after becoming an army. Everyone remembered the name Hei Sha in that battle.

If the devil can also cast a curse through his eyes, then the priority of killing becomes a natural choice.

Roland glanced at Lightning who buried his head in his chest at the end of the long table, and couldn’t help sighing secretly.

He can completely guess the mood of the other party.

Let the sisters take this risk for her, even if everyone has no complaints, she will probably feel extremely guilty.

But now there is no better choice.

Roland stood up from the chief seat, “All in all, the purpose of this expedition is to completely eliminate the threat of the obelisk before the battle of God’s will, and at the same time weaken the devil’s war potential. The operation is code-named “Torch”. The enemy’s light of hope is also the original fire that illuminates the entire fertile plain.

Please do your best to open up new territory for Graycastle!

”

Everyone stood up, stroked their chests and bent down.

“Yes, Your Majesty!”
