"Escaped?"

"The search is still ongoing. ”

After the annotation, the silver-haired young man bowed his head.

He looks about 25 years old, wearing a white suit that is solemn to the point of slightly courtly atmosphere, and the corners of his mouth hidden in the shadows are slightly upturned.

It's not a bitter smile, it's not a smile, it's a sneer that reveals the malice of human nature.

Volgrevo.

Behind the chief and commander of the Seven Deadly Sins, the supreme ruling force of Alfheim, kneeling half-kneeling were Jerus of "Jealousy" and De Kir of "Lust", clenching their palms tightly, trying not to make their bodies tremble.

"This is really an accident, to be honest, it's not at all like what my doppelganger should have. ”

Li Lin said in a tone that was by no means more than sarcastic:

"Is the Inquisitor of the Church troublesome to solve? DeKir, is the other party rushing at you with a nuclear bomb that can wipe out the entire city?"

"No, Your Excellency, ...... actually!"

"Actually, because of your penchant, you deliberately pushed your opponent into a corner, and then played with it to your heart's content, only to be counterattacked in a relaxed and slacked state, and the duck in your mouth flew away. That's right. ”

“...... Be. ”

The usual cheerful and open-minded calmness was gone, and large drops of sweat poured out of his pale face and dripped down his chin.

Just as Li Lin had speculated, just as he was about to take the virginity of the heretical inquisitor, four purges rushed towards him. The heads of these guys were completely blank except for the various techniques and instructions, and the pain and impaired balance could not prevent them from carrying out the instructions, in the blink of an eye. The stumbling big man approached Dekyll from different directions.

It was somewhat unexpected, but De Kiel didn't take the Cleaners seriously, even if the "Rabbit Horns" didn't work on the dolls, there was still no pressure on him to clean up a few ants.

There is nothing wrong with this conclusion, even if it is arrogant, it is also an indisputable fact.

But it was this arrogance that gave De Kiel his first taste of defeat.

The Purge, or Bell who gave the order to the Purge, didn't want to kill DeKir with a few dead men and turn the tide in one fell swoop, even if there was a hint of luck. She also learns from the Purges who were killed that two people of similar strength to De Kir are nearby. Even if you get lucky enough to get a game back. In the face of the next attack, she didn't have any chance.

So, she chose a suicide bombing attack.

A compression-type magic guide with automatic thawing conditions set is pre-embedded in the victim's body that can approach the target. After a certain amount of time. or a specific condition occurs at the moment when the conditions are met. The magic-guided self-thaw at high speed, using the carrier's consciousness capacity to activate magic, and setting the target of the explosion technique to the carrier itself and its surroundings in advance. And then it explodes, in short, a suicide bombing.

This was one of the tactics developed during the Battle of Riga, the Black Hundreds, the official magical association of the United Principality of Rus', to conceal bombs in the bodies of enemy captives and even civilian children, release them in front of the position, and then detonate them at the right time. This brutal tactic made the already extremely tragic battle even more bloody, and was later listed as a taboo tactic in Albion's negotiations with the Duchy.

It stands to reason that such a thing, rejected by the world, and born in the hands of infidels, could not be looked upon by the Church. That being said, there is no doubt that this technique has been effective in assassination and espionage. In the spirit of pragmatism, the Church experimented with a number of purges, and these four purges were the fruit of such attempts.

The energy equivalent to hundreds of kilograms of gunpowder was released at close range, and almost synchronously deployed protective means to block most of the high heat and explosive wind, but the strong light and loud noise still caused a lot of impact on Dekyr's enhanced senses. By the time he recovered from his paralysis, Bell was gone.

"I'm very sorry, Your Excellency. Subordinate to the next careless ......"

"De Kir, such a thing as apology is not very reliable to say with your mouth. ”

“......！！！”

Half-kneeling, DeKir stood up suddenly, obviously not touching anything, but the sharp pain swept through his body. It was as if countless awls pierced into the body, and then kept tightening, and he felt exactly what it was like to be repeatedly and rudely disassembled and assembled. He couldn't even scream, he trembled like an electric shock, and after a long few minutes that seemed to be equated with eternity, he collapsed to the floor.

"Walgrevo, as a team leader and field commander, don't you have anything to say?"

Met with a cold gaze, Walgrevo lowered his head.

"Please rest assured, we will do everything we can to capture and eliminate the targets and heretical inquisitors, and please give us another chance. ”

"'Your Excellency' An army that is based on hope and vision will only fail in the end. Walgrevo, a light 'please rest assured' is too insincere...... Don't you think so?"

As if completely unaware of the heavy air entrenched in the secret room, Li Lin said in a tone that was so indifferent that it could even be regarded as light:

"Let me see the evidence that you can get the job done, or don't reassure me. ”

“...... I'm sorry, Your Excellency. ”

"Do you think I'm asking you to apologize? I am surprised, I value your apology more than that real animal? I want to plan it to go along with it, you want to live comfortably, simple and clear, everything else is secondary, think about it. ”

##########

Turning off the communication device and putting away his cold expression, Li Lin appeared with his usual soothing smile again.

(It's not a matter of spanking to make those guys obedient, and they have entered a period of rebellion in just one year since they were born...... Who is this like?)

The original purpose of the Seven Deadly Sins was to alleviate the dilemma of insufficient mobile forces to deal with emergencies caused by the concentration of all forces in Alfheim in the early stage of preparation. This kind of work cannot be handed over to the Q version doppelganger, leaving aside superficial articles such as "decency", "system", and "influence of public opinion", it is also a trouble to occupy the capacity of consciousness. In order to solve this problem. The only way to fill the vacuum of mobile power is to create a powerful clone with self-judgment and an independent personality. This is where the seven deadly sins come from.

Judging by the results of a series of previous actions, the attempt was successful. A series of tricky troubles were solved beautifully, and I was really happy with it at the time. But now it seems to be a bit counterproductive.

It is true that the indicators of talent and strength are superb, not to mention the wisdom species, the ancient species are also willing to bow to them in some aspects. Relying on almost absolute power, every obstacle to resistance was ruthlessly ravaged and crushed, and no threat worth mentioning appeared in the process.

What was born from the smooth sailing experience of the war was pride and contempt, followed by paralysis and carelessness. and gaps that can be easily exploited by opponents to kill oneself.

Mere Humanity -

As long as they have this arrogant view. Sooner or later, it will end in a miserable defeat. Thinking about it from this level, this failure is still somewhat positive, and it is better than regretting it when the three-legged cat lines such as "how can a mere human defeat me" are killed in the future.

This matter is put aside for the time being, and the most important thing in front of us is the real body, the heretical inquisitor, and the preparation for war.

The position of the real yàn body has been confirmed. Although there are some twists and turns. But it's already a turtle in an urn. As long as Walgrevo doesn't make any more mistakes, it's only a matter of time before they're caught.

As for the Inquisitioner, it is a bit tricky, but it is not a big problem. De Gir's bodily fluids still have an effect on her. Even if the perseverance is superhuman, it is not difficult to guess where he will go in that physical state, and it is completely possible to prepare in advance. Maybe it can also solve the problem caused by someone's adherence to chastity.

The last one, the preparation of Yalfheim, is the real priority, and the rest is nothing more than a trivial matter compared to it. In addition to the Siegfried Line, which had already been completed, the core focus of the preparations was the "Yellow Plan" to launch a roundabout assault plan on the northern front from the Ardennes - codenamed "Watch.Rhine".

The Ardennes were considered by workers to be unsuitable for large-scale military operations, and here is one of the most complex areas north of Charlemagne outside of the Vosges mountains. Geographically, it contains two main regions: the Eifel and the Ardennes. These two areas are full of forests, swamps, and terraces, and even in autumn and winter, they can be well protected from aerial reconnaissance, and there are no big cities in the area, and most of them are small towns with small populations, which are not suitable for the concentration of troops.

Even by the standards of the Defence Forces, the Ardennes region was not a suitable area for mechanized traffic, with the Maas River to the west of the Ardennes and the Rhine River to the east of the Eifre region, both of which were impenetrable natural barriers. Winding narrow roads cut through dense forests and cliffs, and if a vehicle breaks down, towing and repairing can be a headache. As long as the defenders control the key points of the road, they can block the advance of the attackers, but it is precisely because of this that the "surprise attack" effect required in the plan can be achieved.

Of course, in order to better enable mechanized troops to give full play to their expertise in high-speed assault, the necessary work must also be missing. In cooperation with the railway troops and the railway department of the consortium, a network of highways was secretly built in the Ardennes area, which was sufficient for mobile troops. The railway network was also expanded to allow troops to spread out west of the Rhine. The railway network into the Eifel Heights runs from Columbus in the south to Cologne in the north. Although the main railway line does not directly connect the Eivor Heights, the needs of the troops can be met by convenient road-rail transfer points.

In order to further increase the speed of the tongguò, the relevant units involved in the battle have already carried out marching exercises on similar rough terrain, and the tongguò exercise has gained some experience. The staff officers' drawings have also been carried out several times, and the time, order, traffic control, and other related matters of the troops' passage have been written into the staff manual, and the troops' passage exercises have basically been able to implement these things.

Finally, in addition to the regular army, special forces and paratroopers were also put into operation "Defend the Rhine", and their job was to occupy important bridges before the arrival of armored units, reconnoiter the enemy, disrupt the enemy's chain of command, and other special tasks. To this end, the military assembled 3,300 Charlemagne- and Lapland-speaking officers and soldiers in three battalions, equipped with full Charlemagne army and Titans uniforms and weapons, as well as technical and local slang. All officers and men are proficient in combat, assassination, explosives, radio and other special techniques.

Considering the issue of international rules of engagement on fighting in the uniform of the enemy's army, the military also went to consult legal experts in this field. The experts told them that the rules of engagement only prohibit soldiers wearing enemy uniforms from using weapons, so if special forces put the Wehrmacht uniform on Charlemagne's uniform, then they would meet the requirements of the rules of engagement. If they don't take off their disguised enemy uniforms before the battle, they run the risk of being treated as spies and being court-martialed after being arrested (the possibility of death due to the racial tensions between elves and humans).

According to the plan, the special operation was divided into two parts. The first part was to send an advance commando team, who put on Charlemagne's uniform in addition to the Wehrmacht's uniform, and parachuted down to the rear of Charlemagne's army before the start of the battle. Destroy supply depots, ammunition depots near bridges, or infiltrate Charlemagne's occupied territory to carry out reconnaissance missions, and spread false orders among enemy forces, confuse road signs, snipe couriers, and plant mines -- use a single trick to create chaos. The second part consists of two battalions of special forces, disguised as a rout, to join Charlemagne's retreat, and then drive straight to seize the bridge over the Maas River.

At this point, it can be said that the part of the entire Yellow Plan on the northern front raid has been largely completed, and this is the most complex and sophisticated operation since the birth of Wilt's intelligent species. Once realized, it will bring unexpected changes to the military development and historical course of this world. However, like all things, the "Guardian of the Rhine" has its own insurmountable weakness.

For example, the effects of the climate, for example, the leakage of intelligence caused by accidental factors, for example, aerial reconnaissance to find hidden troops......

Especially the logistical part.

The higher the mechanization of the army, the greater the logistical pressure, and the defense force is no exception.

All participating troops, equipment, and supplies of the organization in the "Guarding the Rhine" plan had to be unloaded to Ivel via the railway bridge in the Guò Rhine region. Relying on the most modern and efficient railway system in the world, coupled with air supremacy and accumulated material reserves, the threat of guerrillas, saboteurs, and enemy air raids is almost negligible. But the risks posed by the staff officers on paper threatened to accomplish what Charlemagne's army could not.

One of the major characteristics of the defense force's operations is that once activated, it releases a high concentration of interference particles, hindering the enemy's communication and magic, especially to prevent the opponent from launching a strategic attack, in order not to give the opponent a chance to take advantage of it, often spreading high concentrations for a long time. Due to the use of mana stored in the zài Celestial Crystal, the engines of chariots, armored vehicles, and trucks can still operate even in an environment with a continuous high concentration of particles, and as long as the Mana or Celestial Crystal is continuously replenished, these machines can continue to fight until they malfunction or are destroyed. But the problem lies in the distribution and delivery of materials, including Tianjing.

Flipping through the reports of the front-line commanders who participated in the exercise, a shocking text came into view.

“...... The General Staff adopted a rigid calculation method on how many Tianjing needed for a division to march 100 kilometers, and with the experience of the training ground in the principality, the number really needed under battlefield conditions was more than one times the estimated value of the staff officers, but the staff officers did not understand at all that on such a rugged terrain as Ardennes, the base number to be prepared was more than five times the estimated value, but they only prepared one and a half times, and most of them were thrown on the east bank of the Rhine. ”

According to the experience of the Seven-Day War, the rapid build-up of supply convoys and railways would lead to the blockage of the offensive routes, and the embarrassment of not being able to transport a large amount of supplies was empty. Who can guarantee that the scene that took place in the town of Lepelty will not be carried out on the trails of the Ardennes? Who will be responsible for the important battle of "the rise and fall of the imperial state in one fell swoop"?

The situation of other materials is roughly the same, and the relevant departments are investigating and discussing this, and it will take at least a month to implement the specific scheduling plan. During this time, there is no room for the slightest mess, let alone those things that are not visible to the sun.

"It's almost time to do something. ”

Li Lin muttered, tilting his lips seemingly happily, his fingers tapping rhythmically on the desk. (To be continued......)
