Chapter 816

Whether a biological group can reproduce and grow, generally speaking, the most critical thing is not the number of males, but the number of females.

If the female Pelicons in Bailun Mountain are all killed, or there are not many left, because the number of females is too small, and they can only give birth to offspring in a short estrus period, no matter how many males there are, it will not help, and the number of the entire population will definitely increase. Decrease, and it won't be long before it will be completely extinct.

Conversely, if most of the male Pelydons were wiped out and the females survived, then a few males could still undertake the task of breeding all the females. After a period of reproduction, the size of the entire population is expected to recover.

The combat plan formulated by Major James is mainly based on the above-mentioned common sense.

"The reason why I sent three cavalry companies to assist the human settlements near Bailun Mountain is not to hunt down the male Peridon who is out hunting, but to serve as a restraint so that these male beasts cannot be easily hunted down. People's hearts, return to the lair too soon."

"The key to this battle is not in those three human villages and towns. The battlefield that decides the outcome is actually on the top of the main peak of Bailun Mountain, in the lair of the Peridon clan!"

"At the same time when the three cavalry companies of our army restrain the male Peridon who is out hunting, they will also dispatch a ranger to sneak up to the top of the mountain under the cover of night and surprise Peridon's lair!"

Major James slammed his fist heavily on the table, and his fist happened to hit the main peak of Mount Bailun in the center of the map, which was where Pelidon's lair was located.

"As long as you kill all the female Peridon in the nest and destroy the unhatched beast eggs, the remaining male Peridon will be nothing to worry about!"

"And this is exactly the mission of everyone here!"

Although Joan and the others had been mentally prepared, they still couldn't help being moved when they heard that Major James had personally stated the overall combat plan and confirmed that he was shouldering the dangerous mission of going deep alone and heading straight for the beast's nest.

Major James noticed the change in their expressions, thought that these young people were frightened, so he "retired", and quickly explained.

"You may complain in your heart. Isn't it very irresponsible for the military to put such a huge burden of risk on you students, but not provide you with enough support?"

Major James sighed and put on an air of confiding in the young man.

"If you really have complaints, I can fully understand, but you should also be more considerate of the military's difficulties."

"You probably also know that compared to the vast territory of the Alfheim colony, the garrison is simply pitifully small!"

"In this turbulent land, the monsters that threaten the lives of the colonists are far more than the Peridon clan."

"Your Excellency the Governor and Your Excellency the Commander, you must use your limited forces wisely to maintain the safety of the majority of the residents under your rule as much as possible."

"In this way, the number of troops that can be used in the battle on Bailun Mountain is very limited, and there is only one cavalry battalion of ours."

"Personally, I'd be more than happy to lead a team of Lancers and accompany you to the top of the mountain to surprise Perydon's lair."

"It's a pity that most of our officers and soldiers don't have the ability to fly. Even if we bite the bullet and ride horses to climb the cliffs with nowhere to go, it will only slow down the marching speed, and even arouse the vigilance of the Peridon clan."

"You know, Peridon is not that kind of stupid beast. Once these cunning and suspicious monsters find the whereabouts of the army climbing the mountain, they will probably guess our combat intentions and retreat to their lair to strengthen their defenses."

"In this way, we have to fight a tough battle on Peridon's territory, and we may not be able to win even if we pay huge casualties."

"Considering many factors, the only feasible solution at present is to attract the attention of the male Pelydon with a large force, and at the same time send an elite team to cast spells and fly up the mountain, and launch a surprise attack on Pelydon's lair before sunrise. , strive to wipe out all the female beasts staying in the lair!"

"This important mission falls on your shoulders. I don't think anyone will back down?"

Major James looked around everyone with sharp eyes, and there was a hint of menace in his eyes.

Qiao An and the others exchanged glances with each other, but neither made a sound.

Although Major James's domineering attitude made them a little uncomfortable, they didn't flinch from it.

"Mr. Major, you don't have to worry, there are no people here who are greedy for life and afraid of death!"

Arnold expressed his position on behalf of all members participating in this special operation.

Major James smiled with satisfaction, then put forward the precautions during the execution of the mission, and urged everyone to pay more attention.

"Your combat time is very limited, you must get out of the beast nest before sunrise, so as not to be blocked by the male Peridon returning to the nest."

"In addition, it should be noted that Peley's winter is born with dark vision. The night cannot hinder their sharp vision like a falcon, but it will affect human vision."

"All personnel participating in mountaineering operations must remember to carry 'night vision goggles', or prepare night vision spells by themselves for night battles."

"Okay, that's all I want to emphasize. If you have any questions, you can ask them now, and I will try my best to answer them."

Major James changed to a relaxed sitting position, looking at the college students who were talking in a low voice in front of him.

"Mr. Major, I have no doubts about the 'Mountain Climbing Operation', but you just mentioned the plan to contain the male Peridon, which seems to have missed a detail."

Holden was the first to ask questions.

"Oh? Mr. Poet, I don't know what you mean by the 'overlaps'."

Major James had a genial smile on his face.

"There are obviously four villages and towns near Bailun Mountain, and all of them are threatened by Perydon now. Why did you only send troops to support three of them, but the last one is the closest to Perydon's lair, has the largest population, and is also the most severely affected?" Lemon Tree Township' doesn't care about it, it really confuses me."

Holden's outspoken doubts attracted everyone, including Joan, to nod in unison.

After being reminded by Holden, everyone is also aware of the military's approach. It seems that there is a suspicion of favoring one another, which is a bit unreasonable.

Major James' face changed slightly, and he hesitated for a few seconds before speaking slowly, making an explicit hint.

"In Lemon Tree Township, the Asa tribe occupies the majority of the population, so we don't need to care about the life and death of those indigenous people."

"Mr. Major, what you say makes no sense!"

Holden couldn't hold back the anger in his heart, and protested to Major James in public.

"Is it true that the Asa people are not human beings, and they are not worthy of your rescue?"
