Chapter 966: Peak Operation
Two weeks after the implementation of the counterattack plan named "Operation Peak", Roland received a report from the frontline reconnaissance lightning that the battalions of the First Army had successfully completed the first step of the plan, and would join the "Mori 2 +1.76" breakpoint in the Hidden Forest.
The naming of the vertex is based on the railway mileage identification method, with the first half of the vertex being the planned regional station and the second half being the corrected distance. That is, the breakpoint is located one kilometer and seven hundred and sixty meters further forward at the second station of the Forest Orbit. The advantage of this marking is that Roland can see exactly the trajectory of the army from the large map.
It is also the end of the current orbital extension, from which the First Army will move on to the second step of the battle - leaving the Hidden Forest and marching northeast of the Savage Lands on foot, without the cover of leaves.
Whether or not the devil's outpost can be destroyed depends on whether this step can be taken well.
As long as the fortress guns and machine gun positions are erected, the rhythm of the war can return to the mode that the First Army is most familiar with.
"I see," Roland made a heavy stroke at the vertice, "what about the devils, do they react?"
Listen to the rustling reply from the sigil, "Sylvie said that not for the time being, they are still concentrating on building their outpost, and several blackstone pillars have been erected. In addition, there is a "red line" behind the outpost, and the staff judges that the number of those long-legged guys is also limited. β
This is good news, Agatha has said that the only thing that limits the devil from destroying humanity is the Red Mist, and if they have a way to break through this limit in the third battle of the Divine Will, it will be bad news for everyone. Not to mention anything else, just the mobility of the dinosaurs beyond the times, coupled with the amazing combat power of high-level devils, the long borders of the four kingdoms are basically no different from undefended sieves.
Roland now knew that the stone pillars in the outpost were not the same thing as the legendary Blackstone Tower, though they had much in common. The former is able to store the red mist and release it slowly, forming a special mist environment for the devil to absorb. In such an environment, the devil's function and self-healing ability will be improved, and the simple understanding is to fight at home.
The stone pillar has an amplification effect, and can use one red mist as two parts, but it will eventually consume reserves. The Blackstone Tower, on the other hand, can generate red mist on its own, and its coverage is much wider, which is basically the core of the Devil's City.
In addition, the stone pillars are not ready to be used when they are transported, and the intelligence of the ancient witches shows that there is a difference between dead and alive, and they generally need to be planted and cultivated for about a month before they can secrete fog clouds. Previously, it could only be used as an enlarged version of the Red Mist Canister.
Sylvie's observations gave him more certainty, no one wanted his opponent to run home and recuperate for two days after being injured, and then rush to the scene again with a bunch of reinforcements behind him. At the current rate of construction, the First Army should be able to attack before the pillars are revived.
"In that case, continue your investigation and let me know if there is any new situation. Remember to always put safety first. β
"Lightning understood. β
Then the light of the listening sigil went out.
Roland picked up a ruler and compared it on the mapβif nothing else, the First Army would enter the devil's circle six days later, when the season came.
It will be a daunting challenge for those accustomed to fighting on land.
"Why, aren't you at ease?" Nightingale said, putting away the sigil, "Aren't the results of the new weapon's test pretty good?"
"But that's a test after all, and what will happen in a war, no one knows until it's experienced. Roland spread his hands and said, "What's more, when Sylvie puts all his attention to the sky, the First Army can only rely on itself to set up defenses. β
"It's incredible that a balloon fluttering in the wind five kilometers away can hit every shot, and Andrea will definitely live up to this weapon. Nightingale smiled, "As for Sylvie not taking care of the vigilance, and Lightning and Maisie, didn't the First Army always come here like this before?"
Roland couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, "When did you become so comforting?"
"Tell me the truth," whistled the nightingale, "and, of course, my eloquence is also very goodβthere is not a single nobleman whom I have approached the door that is not convinced." β
Belch...... You're a naked threat.
"Ahem, you're right," Roland pouted, "I'm going to take a nap later, it's in the office, don't wake me up if there's no urgent news." β
Nightingale seemed to realize something, "Is there no need to inform the Taqira witch?"
"No," Roland nodded, "don't even let them near the castle." β
"I see," she agreed, "don't worry, with me watching, no one will walk into the beam of light." β
......
Roland rarely takes naps, unless he is particularly tired or for some special reason.
Like this time.
It's been a month since the last time she spoke to Garcia in the dream world, and it's the day she returns from her debriefing at headquarters. She was promised to bring back a book written half a century ago that mentioned the word War of the Divine Will, but for some reason, Roland always felt that it was better not to let the remnants of Taqira know about it for the time being.
Come to think of it, it is likely that no matter what he finds in the book, he can calmly regard it as leisure, but those witches who regard divine will as fate cannot. Now that the big war is coming, it would be better to have fewer accidents.
At this moment, the dream is more like a switch in his mind, as long as he thinks of this thought, he can fall asleep in just a few minutes, which can be regarded as avoiding the pain of tossing and turning.
When Jieluo went to school, Roland couldn't wait to pick up the phone.
"Hey, did you get the book?"
"If I say no, will you be so disappointed that you want to drop your phone?" Garcia's familiar sarcastic voice quickly came from the earpiece, "Please, you reminded me three days ago, I'm not forgetful, and I'm not as untrustworthy as someone else." β
Roland breathed a sigh of relief, "If you don't fall, I have to support my family with my money, and I can't afford to fall." β
"Supporting your family, the basic salary of a martial arts family is not enough for you to spend?Hey...... You won't be on the wrong path. β
Where do you want to go, he secretly said to himself, what he wants to raise is clearly a group of big stomach kings who have lived for hundreds of years, "I must affirm, we are familiar with each other-"
"And you're going to sue me for slander? It's a new century, so don't use this old meme, okay?" Garcia interrupted.
Roland almost didn't hold back his breath, and was complained about by the ancients, the most deadly......
He simply got straight to the point, "Okay, where's the book?"
"Of course it's at my house, come and get it. The other party replied.
