The Great Xia Dynasty was preparing for war, and the Mediterranean Sea was in turmoil again. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

On May 10, Queen Kalia of Atlantis sent an invitation to the lords of the Mediterranean to visit Atlantis City to discuss the development of Atlantean technology.

The ancient Atlantean Empire was submerged by a monstrous flood and buried at the bottom of the sea, becoming an unsolved mystery in history. A year ago, with the assistance of Ouyang Shuo, Atlantis City was able to regain its life.

It's just that compared to the unimaginably large Atlantean Empire, Atlantis City is just a small corner, less than a thousandth of the empire's heyday.

In the library of Atlantis City, there are a large number of documents about the history and civilization of the empire, and even the royal heir Kalia is fascinated by that magnificent picture of civilization.

Kalia proposed to gather the power of the entire Mediterranean Sea and go deep into the sea again to explore more underwater ruins of the Atlantean Empire, so as to crack the Atlantean technological civilization and bring it back to the world.

As soon as the news came out, it was naturally a crowd of responders.

Even a person with ulterior motives like Caesar could not resist the temptation and was ready to be invited.

All of a sudden, the Mediterranean Sea became very lively, which set off a "no one before and no one after" undersea expedition, making the Mediterranean Sea the focus of global attention.

May 12, Kidpoint City.

Under the shroud of night, the city of Basics is like a giant beast of the deep sea, constricting its fangs, silently lurking at the entrance to the Mediterranean, monitoring the ships entering and leaving the Mediterranean Sea with cold eyes, like a three-headed hellhound guarding the gateway to hell, making people frightened and afraid to give birth to the slightest provocation.

The sea breeze blows, bringing with it a fishy smell.

Even at night, the port of Gibraltar outside the city is lit up, with thousands of merchant ships flying sails and flags from all over the world docking at the port docks.

Every merchant ship in the port is an ocean-going giant ship, carrying the fortune dreams of merchants.

The wharf is full of people and hustle and bustle.

More than a dozen eclectic taverns lined up along the wharf, exuding the smell of wine and providing a perfect pastime for merchants and sailors.

Because it is the choke point of ocean trade, there are elegant taverns with pure oriental characteristics, wild taverns with Western style, and more products of the fusion of Eastern and Western cultures.

The tavern is full of subtle Oriental merchants and enthusiastic Western merchants gathering together to discuss a lot of business. And this bustle and hustle and bustle will not end until the next morning.

Without exception, these taverns are among the strongholds of the Black Serpent Guard.

For Black Snake, an international mercenary, it is like a fish in water to mingle in this noisy environment where people from the East and the West mingle, alcohol and women sing the leading role.

This kind of environment is too familiar to the black snake, even with its eyes closed, the black snake knows who it can get effective information from, and who has bad intentions.

Historically, taverns have been well-informed, and merchants have traveled far and wide to see a lot, and the slightest bit of information that may be accidentally leaked can be turned into an important piece of information.

Through these taverns alone, the Black Serpent Guard has access to a great deal of international intelligence.

……

Nine p.m., Desert Star Tavern.

Of the dozen taverns, the Desert Star Tavern, located on the westernmost side of the docks, is not very conspicuous, the only difference is that the owner of the tavern is a black man from some small, nameless country on the African continent. Of course, no one would underestimate the owner of the shop, who can open a tavern at the dock of Dock City, which one is not a man with hands and eyes.

In a normal room on the second floor of the tavern, Black Snake was connecting with a person.

At this moment, the entire tavern seems to be normal, but in fact, it is under the secret surveillance of the Black Snake Guard, and even the tavern owner is a member of the Black Snake Guard.

A slightly dimly lit room can always evoke some not-so-good associations.

"Did you bring anything?" Black Snake asked.

Sitting opposite the Black Serpent was a Berber from Rabat, the royal city of Morocco. This person is in his thirties, and his whole body is covered with a black robe, and even his head is wrapped in a black scarf, so he can't see his appearance clearly.

If you are born in the army, you must be able to judge from the way this person sits that this is a soldier.

The mysterious man's voice was hoarse, and he said, "I brought what you wanted, but what do I want?" ”

The black snake smiled, took out a wooden box, and pushed it in front of the man, "Open it and take a look!" ”

The mysterious man hesitated, but still opened the wooden box, but saw a huge diamond like a pigeon's egg lying quietly in the wooden box, even in the dark night, still shining charming and bright.

"It's it!"

The mysterious man was visibly excited.

The corners of the black snake's eyes smiled, and he didn't see how he moved, the wooden box had been re-covered, and he returned to the black snake, "You have seen the things, it's time to show me what I want." ”

The mysterious man glanced at the wooden box obsessively, and without hesitation, gritted his teeth, took out a roll of maps from his arms, and said tremblingly: "This is it." ”

The black snake took it, glanced at it roughly, and carefully put it into the storage bag, "You should know what the consequences of deceiving us will be?" ”

When the mysterious man heard this, his face flashed with fear, of course he knew that the person in front of him was a demon, and said tremblingly: "You can go and verify, if there is a little mistake, I will not die well." ”

"Happy!" The black snake smiled, handed over the wooden box, and said, "It's yours." ”

The mysterious man hugged the wooden box.

Black Snake said: "Remember, if you dare to leak the slightest news, your wife and children will have to be thrown to feed the sharks." ”

"Yes! Be! Be! The mysterious man secretly wiped his cold sweat, didn't stay, and immediately left, disappearing into the night.

Seeing this, a man beside the black snake said, "My lord, did you really let him go like this?" ”

Black Snake was expressionless, "What else do you want?" Kill people and destroy corpses?! What the Black Snake Guard sent out, there is no reason to come back. ”

"That diamond is worth ten thousand gold." The man was a little excited.

The black snake's expression turned cold, and he said lightly: "Even if it is priceless, you can't break the rules." The king is the most unseemly of the people below, if you let me know who has any crooked thoughts, don't blame me for being ruthless. ”

"Yes!"

The surrounding members of the Black Snake Guard listened to this, and their foreheads were sweating.

The black snake shook his head, and said with some hatred: "I said that you have been following the king for so long, are you a little promising?" Our king wants to be the global hegemon, don't embarrass Lao Tzu every day, like a group of hillbillies who have never seen the world. ”

"That's what adults teach." The little brothers were embarrassed.

The black snake said: "Okay, I'll go first, that kid has to keep an eye on it, don't make any trouble." ”

"No!"

…………

Leaving the tavern, the Black Snake stalked into the city.

Compared to the hustle and bustle of the docks outside the city, the inside of the base point city is quiet and scary. As early as 8 p.m., a curfew was imposed in the city, and there was not a single idler to be seen on the streets.

In the entire city, only the direction of the City Lord's Mansion is still brightly lit.

After half a month of preparations, the preparatory work for the war was basically ready, more than eighty percent of the war materials were delivered, and the four major army corps were ready to go.

In the city lord's mansion, after dinner, Ouyang Shuo convened the generals for a pre-war meeting, and the participants included Bai Qi, Shi Dakai, Huo Quzhi, Ma Chao, Lu Bu, Álvaro, Lü Meng, Jia Xu and others.

In the center of the war room hangs a map of Morocco.

Morocco as a whole has a long and narrow strip from north to south, but all the points highlighted on the map are the northwest coastal zone, of which only four are noted.

The royal city of Rabat is located north-northwest, just at the bottom of the arc. Not only are there 250,000 Praetorian Guards stationed in the royal city, but there are also 2 million players living in the city.

There are more than 200,000 professional combat players alone, which concentrates more than eighty percent of Morocco's player base.

Just a thousand miles south of Rabat is the famous garden city of Casablanca.

Of course, Casablanca in the game is only a lord city, and according to the information found by the Black Snake Guard, the regular army of Casablanca will not exceed 50,000.

Further south is the famous port city of Agadir, the largest territory in Morocco, and the territorial army is very close to a regular field army.

In addition to these two large territories in the south, the other scattered small territories have long been annexed and no longer exist.

The last notable enemy is Tangier, Morocco's northernmost part. Like the city of Kickpoint, Tangier guards the choke point of the Strait of Gibraltar, and its territory is dominated by sailors, supplemented by armies.

At the moment, Tangier's sailors are not enough to pose any threat to the Mediterranean fleet.

When all things are counted, the most threatening and the most difficult is the royal city of Rabat.

Although Rabat was a coastal city, the expeditionary force also came from far and wide. How to smoothly transport the army to the land without being detected became the first problem encountered in this war of annihilation.

You must know that this is an army of nearly 300,000 people, not a small fight of 2,000 or 3,000 people, and it is almost impossible to achieve the goal of secretly arriving in Morocco in batches without being detected.

According to the detailed calculations made by the Operations Division, under the current conditions for landing operations, the transfer of four field corps to the front line is the ultimate that can be achieved at present. If you increase the number of troops, you will definitely not be able to hold on, and the target will be exposed at once. It is crazy enough to attack a country with such a disparity in forces.

It is precisely like this, this expedition will be personally commanded by Ouyang Shuo, Jia Xu will be the military division, Bai Qi will be the deputy general, Huo Qubing will be the former general, and Álvaro will be the rear general, and the lineup can be described as a first-class luxury.

After more than half a month of investigation and discussion, the expeditionary force's overall operational strategy for attacking Morocco has gradually become clear, and it can be summed up as follows: "Advance by land and water, attack at multiple points, and go straight to Huanglong." ”

The military discussion in the evening is to make the final task arrangement before the war.
