Chapter 400 The Footsteps of War (Ⅲ)

General Jumonville nodded calmly.

"This is the case at the moment, but you don't have to worry too much. I have never fought an uncertain battle in my life. I have made a comprehensive plan before sending troops. Even in the worst case, there are still 60 to 70% of the chances." Seize the overall victory.”

"Then how did you plan it?" Alpha unconsciously used honorifics.

"Well, it's not convenient to disclose it at the moment." General Jumonville smiled mysteriously.

Alpha's eyes drifted to Antonioni: "Diego, how about we talk in private?"

"Don't talk!" Antonioni stretched his fingers and combed his fiery long hair. "Louis is very cunning. I can't guess what he's thinking. It's no use asking me."

"Aren't you the chief of staff? Dear Colonel Antonioni, the commander didn't even discuss the battle plan with you, the chief of staff?" Alpha asked with a sneer.

The red-haired warlock blushed immediately, and stomped his feet angrily.

"Of course I have the right to know the battle plan, but Louis refused to tell me, what can I do?"

"To be honest, I hope he will suffer a defeat, maybe it will help change the stinking problem of being arbitrary and arrogant!"

Alpha covered his mouth and laughed non-stop.

Jumonville just gave Antonioni a contemptuous glance, and quickly returned to the telescope, staring at the fortress standing on the hill in the distance, and fell into long-term thinking.

Alpha frowned, and said to Antonioni with a secretive expression: "I have an idea, which can make you feel proud in front of our general."

"Really? Tell me."

"The enemy's defense seems to be very tight, but it can only guard against ordinary people, but it can't stop spellcasters like you and me. Let's bless the 'invisibility' first, then you activate the 'flying boots' and fly me to Over the enemy's fortress, they landed silently, managed to find a well, and poisoned it... Hehe, wouldn't this easily destroy their defense line?"

"My dear Lady Alpha, you think of war too simply."

Antonioni shook his head with a wry smile.

"The evening before yesterday, I chased the little enemy mage who turned into an eagle and flew over the fortress. Although I only took a quick glance at it, I was very impressed by the fortified defense measures inside the fortress. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is five steps and one post, and ten steps and one whistle."

"The enemy guard posts are equipped with military dogs. Even if we use magic to hide, it is difficult to avoid the military dogs with a keen sense of smell."

"As for the wells, unfortunately, I haven't seen any open-air wells. If there are any wells, they must be indoors and guarded. Sneaking in to poison them is not as easy as you think."

"But there is always a chance of success, right?" Alpha insisted, "I successfully assassinated the former commander of the enemy army a month ago, maybe the goddess of fate will favor me again!"

"Ma'am, if we pin our hopes on good luck, we've already lost half the battle before we even make a move."

"Compared with the chance of success, I care more about the consequences of failure. Obviously, the consequences are tantamount to death, and we cannot afford such risks."

Antonioni rarely put away his frivolous smile.

"You may think that I am alarmist, or you may still firmly believe that with your own strength, even if you expose your identity, you can break out of the enemy camp, but unfortunately this is not the case."

"Master Antonioni, what do you mean by that?"

Queen Gnoll's self-esteem was stabbed, and her face suddenly darkened.

"In the enemy camp, is there anyone who can pose a threat to you and me?"

"There really are, and more than one."

Antonioni, the chief of staff, is not just for nothing. He is in charge of intelligence work against the enemy, and he is much more familiar with the internal affairs of the Vasa Corps than Alpha.

"First of all, the commander of the enemy army, George Vasa, this lieutenant colonel is a level 10 'Paladin', you may not be his opponent in a head-on duel, we only have Louis, a level 12 'Arcane Knight' Definitely beat him."

"Lieutenant Colonel Vasa also has an assistant named Magny Powhatan, who is from the Algonquin Valley and is the leader of an Asa mercenary army. It is said that he is a high-ranking 'Cord Fighter', berserk like a fearless monster, you may not be able to beat it, right?"

Noticing that Alpha's face gradually became embarrassed, Antonioni smiled, and then added.

"Finally, and what concerns me the most is the enemy's army mage, that is, the little guy who turned into an eagle and sneaked into our camp to investigate yesterday evening..."

"Oh? You mean that 'little bird'?" Alpha tilted his head and frowned. "He is indeed very cunning, but I don't think he is qualified to be compared with us."

"How should I put it..."

Antonioni straightened his hair and frowned.

"On the surface, it looks like that kid is just a level 3 mage, but after fighting him, I found that this person's real strength is far beyond his mage level."

"In addition to conventional spells, he seems to be good at some weird and unpredictable tricks."

"For example, in the conflict yesterday evening, he used the 'magic missile' to penetrate my 'shield technique'..."

"It's really counterintuitive. Until now, I can't figure out how he did it."

"Hearing what you said, I also think of a strange thing related to that little mage."

Alpha caressed the golden collar, lost in memory.

"When I sneakily assassinated the former commander of the enemy army, it went smoothly at first. However, when I was retreating, the little mage flew back and cast 'Flash Dust' in the air to force me out of invisibility, and my eyes were stabbed..."

"When I managed to open my eyes, I found that the little mage had disappeared, and a powerful 'tree man' appeared in front of me instead!"

"If I hadn't run so fast, I would have been slapped to death by the tree man!"

"Afterwards, I thought about it for a long time, but I still couldn't figure out where the tree man came from, and why did he take the initiative to attack me?"

"After listening to what you just said, now I have to suspect that the tree man was probably conjured by that little mage!"

"Spells to summon or change tree people are of high level. It stands to reason that the little mage is absolutely incapable of casting them. However, this kid is very weird. Maybe he really did it. In short, we'd better be more on guard against him. So as not to overturn the boat in the gutter."

Antonioni said cautiously.

General Jumonville put down the binoculars, turned to look at the two deputies, and asked calmly: "Have you finished talking? Now I'm going to talk about business."

"We're done chatting, what's your order, General?"

Antonioni, in a comedian's exaggerated way, made a gesture of listening.
