Chapter 1231 Hope for the Future
It takes a genius to remember the address of this website in one second: [Aidou Reading] The fastest update! No ads!
"The reason is very simple," Edith explained directly without waiting for anyone to ask, "Cage Mountain is a branch that spreads horizontally from the Impasse Mountain Range, and it is also the highest point at the edge of the morning light. This idea is similar to the original Impasse Defense Line Similarly, with the help of terrain advantages, the First Army's artillery unit can have a wider strike range, and the enemy's mobility will be limited to a certain extent. After all, the number of flying terror beasts is far lower than that of the lowest mad demons."
"Secondly, according to Taqila, red mist is more likely to gather in lower places, and becomes weaker as it gets closer to the edge. Therefore, establishing a defense line at a high point is conducive to the witches stationing. Judging from the frontline intelligence just learned, this is true. Prepare for a rainy day.”
"The last one is His Majesty's Dawn Plan -" She looked around at this point, "We all know that this plan depends on the ores in Cage Mountain. Before other alternatives are found, Cage Mountain is an area that we must not give up. .”
No one in the hall raised a question.
Obviously none of them have seen the final product of the Dawn Project, and it is difficult to imagine how powerful those tiny balls are. Just relying on Roland's words, they regard it as one of the core goals of the future strategy. , this feeling has to be said to make Roland extremely happy.
This is probably the highest ideal in the mind of the Ligong Dog.
"But we can't completely give up on Everwinter and Wolfheart." He looked at Edith, "To win the war, Graycastle needs a large population."
"Yes, so from the time when the red mist appears to when it spreads completely, the main task of the First Army is to relocate the population and delay the enemy's advance as much as possible. I think the devil will not wait for the red mist to slowly dissipate. They are likely to use this momentum to establish a large number of outposts, just like they did four hundred years ago."
Northland Pearl paused, "To be honest, Red Moon's sudden advance can even be regarded as helping the First Army. When they really see the alien enemies, the people of Yongdong and Wolf Heart will naturally understand which side to choose. By then, even if Iron Ax turns them away, they will probably beg to come to Graycastle."
Having said this, she raised the corners of her mouth and showed a unique smile.
Even so many people will die.
Roland sighed secretly.
In a sense, this is indeed the case for most human beings. He could vaguely feel Edith's joy at this moment - it was probably similar to seeing the news in later generations, saying that the residents of the community who resisted the signal tower finally got their wish and lost the mobile phone signal. . But before this fateful battle, he couldn't sit back and let those people do nothing.
"Golden No. 2 everywhere should have a bumper harvest this year," Roland told Barov. "Come up with a plan to mobilize part of the food and transport it to Chenxi to ensure that the refugees who fled the occupied territories can have enough to eat."
"Your Majesty, if I understand correctly, once the intelligence is confirmed, the main force of the First Army will soon move in the direction of Congshan. This will already put a lot of pressure on logistics." The old manager looked embarrassed, "I really can't While transporting the troops, we can also ensure that the food for the refugees arrives in time. Even if we rent all the ships from the Fjord Chamber of Commerce, it may not be enough."
This is an unavoidable problem. Even the largest sailing ship in the fjord has insufficient transportation capacity before a full-scale war. Now just to transport migrants, the rented fleet is already operating at full capacity.
"Unless...we can build another direct railway to neighboring countries..." Barov was quite tangled when he said this. Obviously he was well aware of the cost of such large-scale projects. Whenever treasury funds were used, At that time, he seemed to be more reluctant than cutting his own flesh.
"I'm afraid there won't be enough time," Roland shook his head. "Furthermore, Neverwinter has invested too many resources on the Fertile Soil Railway. If you want to copy it to the Kingdom of Dawn, it will affect the production of other projects."
Starting from the Hidden Forest to the ruins of Taquila, this long river of steel stretching over the fertile plains consumed countless amounts of steel and a construction period of one and a half years. This is still under the condition that the first half is repaired by leaves, and the second half is entirely built on flat ground. The terrain between Neverwinter City and Cage Mountain is obviously not as clear as the Fertile Plains, and the construction period alone is an unpredictable value.
"Your Majesty is aware of this, and I think so too..." Barov was obviously relieved.
"Let's make a plan based on the current situation first. Don't save money. It doesn't matter if you use most of the golden dragons. Now is not the time to be stingy." Roland said, "As for logistics, I will think of a solution later."
"As you command, Your Majesty."
He then looked at Edith, "The idea of using Cage Mountain as the dividing line is feasible in principle. The General Staff Headquarters will make a plan as soon as possible, and then we will hold a meeting to discuss it one by one."
For Northland Pearl, these are all routine procedures. He also believes that with the opponent's talent, he can sense the urgency of time even without saying anything himself.
"Please leave it to me." Edith said, stroking her chest.
Roland stood up and glanced at everyone in the hall, "I have said before that the third war of divine will will be a war that determines the fate of all mankind, and now it has arrived. The victory in the battle of Taqila It is enough to prove that the defeat four hundred years ago is not irreversible. I hope that you will fulfill your duties and play an indelible role in this war. History will definitely remember this day!" He said loudly, "Listen up. , no matter who the enemy is, I have only one request - this war can only be won, not defeated!"
"As you wish, Your Majesty!" everyone responded in unison.
This day is destined to be a sleepless night.
Just as everyone was leaving the castle conference hall one by one, Roland stopped Tilly.
"I have something I want to say to you alone."
…
Back in the office, Roland asked Nightingale to leave first, and then closed the door.
Tilly raised her eyebrows, "Can't you even listen to Nightingale? It seems like you don't intend to ask me about the training status of the Sky Knights."
Instead of answering, he poured each other a cold mint-flavored Chaos drink. It doesn't taste great, but it has a good effect in relieving mood.
Seeing that Roland didn't speak, Tilly didn't ask any more questions, but took small sips of her drink, as if waiting for him to break the silence.
Roland stared at this "nominal" sister, his mood was extremely complicated. Compared with the former fifth princess, Tilly Wimbledon seemed much calmer now. Both her expression and behavior were more like a woman. A leader. But compared to his current appearance, he still prefers to see the little girl sitting next to Anna in the winter, casually crossing her feet, flipping through a pile of books and laughing and discussing how to give questions to stump the other sisters.
If it was just like this, that would be it. After all, people cannot always look the same, but Tilly's change was too fast. From the ashes sacrifice to the crying, in just a few days, she completely lost her childishness. Not only that, her hatred for the devil was also deeply imprinted in her eyes. Although she rarely mentioned it later, Roland felt strong uneasiness from the other party's "only request".
That is an extremely decisive attitude.
It was as if the whole world had lost its color to her.
Now he learned from Lan that all this was not irreversible. Taking into account the credibility of the intelligence in the consciousness world, the safest approach would be to resurrect the ashes before telling Tilly to avoid the huge disappointment after her hopes failed. However, he also realized that according to Tilly's current mentality, it is very likely that It may not be possible to successfully survive the battle of divine will.
Speaking out might help her get back to her old self.
But if you fail to achieve it in the end, you will fall into deeper despair.
It was these two thoughts that were entangled with each other that prevented him from speaking immediately.
But no matter how long the silence is, there is always a time limit.
Roland knew that by calling Tilly over, he had actually made a choice.
Rather than regretting it after it happened, he would rather put his hopes for the future now.
"Brother?" Perhaps because she had been staring for too long, Tilly averted her gaze slightly and asked with some confusion.
Roland took a deep breath and said slowly, "Maybe the next words sound a little unbelievable, but I still want to tell you-"
"It's possible that Ashes is still alive."
