Chapter 781: Assault Camp vs Raid Camp
The division of labor among the three is different, and Mariel is responsible for controlling the defensive arrow towers in the north, west, and east.
Howie is in charge of the defensive buildings in the south and in the territory, and observes and summarizes the situation in all directions
Vereesa is in charge of dispatching troops based on the situation and coordinating with the defensive arrow tower.
"There is the most black light in the north, and it is likely to be the direction where the enemies are concentrated."
"The black light in the east is relatively rare, and the remaining two sides are more even."
"Mariel, you can adjust the gunner's perspective of the magic cannon turret to see if you can see the gray fog."
In front of Howie are all [Commander Tower (orange)] connected to the sentry towers within the territory and various buildings with the effect of [Eye of True Sight].
Under the action of [Eye of True Sight], a certain degree of observation and sight distance adjustment can be performed.
At this time, this part of the authority was gathered in front of Howie.
He turned around and reported to the two according to the implementation situation.
Here is the upper half of the [Commander Tower (Orange)] but not the top, because the top is easily attacked, and the middle and upper middle are the safest.
The command room as a whole is a circular reinforced room with three workbenches.
Each workbench can accommodate a commander who can control the authority in the tower.
It is also possible to divide the authority in advance, and this division can be lifted at any time to share the authority of the whole tower.
After the [Commander Tower (orange)] is built, most of the related buildings in the territory are connected.
This is like a command terminal with authority, which can summarize building authority.
In order to achieve centralized scheduling and control, this is a great convenience and advantage for defensive warfare!
After hearing Howie's report, Mariel immediately tried to remotely control a [magic giant turret] placed in the north with the authority of the command tower, and successfully entered the [gunner mode] for a bird's-eye view.
It's a pity that this perspective still can't see through the situation inside the fog.
"No, I still can't see what's behind the gray fog."
Mariel exited [Gunner Mode], turned and shook her head at Howie.
At this time, Vereesa who was sitting on the other side suddenly spoke.
"I asked Bot stationed in the north to dispatch [Magic Mechanical Falcon] to investigate."
When she said this, she immediately used the sound transmission function of the command tower to notify the garrison in the north of the territory.
Bot is a combat-type hero talent from the Inheritance of Unclaimed Territories.
Talent and ability are not bad, and the mind is relatively flexible.
Now he has been commissioned with certain combat tasks, as the node and command hero of the northern garrison.
He has prepared some practical and portable props in his carry-on storage compartment.
This [Magic Mechanical Falcon] Zong Shen used the challenge points to exchange a lot in [Auxiliary Items].
It was used by him as an auxiliary reconnaissance tool in the early stage. It is very practical to be able to transmit back the image seen by [Mechanical Falcon] in real time in the form of magic energy projection.
It is now assigned to combat heroes on the front line as an aid in scouting the situation.
Vereesa can be regarded as a veteran hero in the territory, and also a legendary hero among the elves.
So when Mariel and Howie face Vereesa, they will feel that their aura is suppressed.
In the command room, she was faintly dominated.
Through the sound transmission function of [Commander Jian Tower (orange)], her order sounded like a regional broadcast in the defensive position in the north of the territory.
After receiving the order, Bot at the front line immediately took out the [Magic Mechanical Falcon] and the matching projection crystal from the storage compartment. All the Falcons have been fully charged and can be released for reconnaissance at any time.
After confirming that it was correct, Bot raised his hand, and the metal wings of the [Magic Mechanical Falcon] spread out, and a little light blue wind power surrounded it to assist its flight.
The mechanical falcon fluttered its wings and flew towards the gray mist ahead according to his instructions.
This fog of war is clearly divided, at least in the area nearly twenty kilometers behind the perimeter of the defense circle.
This distance is exactly the radius of Zongshen's current territory.
Where there is no fog, everything is as usual, and observation can be performed normally.
But where there is fog, it is a mist, and nothing can be seen clearly.
The place shrouded in mist is outside Zongshen's territory, where the blackened orcs are deployed.
Obviously, the lord system still respects the scope of his territory, and didn't put the blackened orcs in a closer position just because Zong Shen shrunk his defense.
The clear rules and clear settings all prove that this challenge is quite formal.
After releasing the [Magic Mechanical Falcon], Bot immediately rode on a mixed prairie horse that was going to be nearby, and galloped away in the direction where the Mechanical Falcon flew away!
Along the way, they bypassed the excavated ditches and arranged roadblocks and refused horses.
He stopped after only eleven or twelve kilometers, and it was enough to get here!
Because the effective detection range of [Magic Mechanical Falcon] is 10 kilometers, beyond this distance, the image cannot be sent back, and it is very likely to lose control.
The current level of Zongshen's territory is lv19, which means that the scope of the territory is a circular area with a radius of 19 kilometers.
The outer line of defense is about two or three kilometers away from the lord's fortress, so Bot still needs to ride a mixed prairie horse for twelve or three kilometers to extend the detection range of the [Magic Mechanical Falcon] beyond the fog of war.
The neck of the hybrid prairie horse has fine scales. It is the standard military horse of the Avalon Kingdom. The more scales, the higher the level of the horse.
There are not many such horses in the territory, and their speed is much faster than ordinary grassland horses.
But it took him seven or eight minutes to advance more than ten kilometers.
With time passing but still being deployed, the fog shows no sign of lifting.
Bot reined in just in time, and from here the fog to the north was only a few kilometers away.
Those fogs look like extremely stable gray clouds at close range.
If viewed from the sky, the territory looks like an isolated island sunken in a gray ocean.
This feeling is very depressing, like being besieged.
What makes people feel even more anxious is that no one knows what is hidden in the fog.
He spread his palms and activated the crystal projection.
At this moment, the [Magic Mechanical Falcon] has already flown into the mist, so logically speaking, it should be able to send back images.
After waiting for a while, the crystal projected a beam of light, forming a picture.
The first thing that catches the eye is the endless haze.
The falcon is still flying, heading towards the limit of the effective detection distance.
Suddenly, the outlines of sentry towers and camps appeared indistinctly on the screen.
Just when Bot opened his eyes wide and was about to take a closer look, the projection screen suddenly disappeared.
"Crackling..."
A faint crisp sound came, and Bot looked down at the projection crystal in his hand, and found that it was already covered with cracks.
[Magic Mechanical Falcon] also lost his induction, he couldn't give any orders!
He didn't dare to delay, so he quickly turned the horse's head and slapped the horse's buttocks hard. The mixed prairie horse neighed, raised its hooves and ran quickly towards the defensive circle of the territory.
In the command tower, Vereesa watched Bot from a distance through the vision of the nearby sentry tower.
However, because the distance is too far, the [Eye of True Sight] of the sentry tower does not have the ability to increase the viewing distance.
So after Bot walked away, she couldn't see it.
Another seven or eight minutes passed before Bot returned to his original spot.
Everyone has been reminded before that the nearby sentry tower is the eyes and ears of the command tower.
So Bot immediately ran to the nearest sentry tower, raised his head and loudly told Vereesa what the [Magic Mechanical Falcon] saw and the situation of losing contact!
After getting the news, Vereesa, Mariel, and Howie looked at each other.
"Since the silhouettes of sentry towers and camps appeared in the mist, it means that the enemy came not only with troops, but also with a complete camp!"
"I will report to the adults now!"
Vereesa said in a hurried tone, using the sound transmission function to amplify the sound on the high tower of the lord's fortress.
…
When Zong Shen heard the news, the countdown on the sky had changed to 23:29:42.
Sixteen minutes have passed since the delivery ended!
The fog still hasn't dissipated. I don't know if it will continue to exist or will not dissipate until before the attack.
And Zong has been trying to contact the strategy module.
It's a pity that the strategy module is still intermittent.
According to the last challenge announcement, the 15 minutes to 60 minutes from the countdown countdown belonged to the deployment time, so he didn't have to worry about the dark orcs launching a surprise attack.
After hearing the news reported by Vereesa, Zong Shen raised his eyebrows.
This is not good news!
Simply launching offensive troops and launching troops plus a complete forward camp are two concepts.
With the forward camp, the attacker can advance and retreat with a certain degree of control.
Secondly, it also has a great impact on Zong Shen's counterattack plan.
If he wanted to take the initiative to attack, he had to defeat the forward camp in that direction.
Of course, there is a sufficient buffer zone between the two sides, ranging from a dozen kilometers outside the shrinking defensive circle to a range of 25 kilometers to 40 kilometers from the fort shrouded in gray fog of war.
In layman's terms, the current situation is like sandwich eggs.
The fortress of the territory is the central point, the defensive circle after contraction is the egg white, and the scope of the territory is the eggshell.
The shell is completely surrounded by gray salad dressing.
The theoretical buffer zone ranges from the egg whites of the defense circle to the salad dressing of the gray mist.
And there is also the resident of the dark orcs.
He bowed his head and analyzed for a while, then raised his hand and made a gesture to show that he understood.
First of all, the gray fog of war is not a physical barrier, but only cuts off perception and vision.
[Magic Mechanical Falcon] can pass it on, so he can pass it on.
So Zong Shen had a bold idea in his mind, wondering if he should ride Xiao Heizi or Ying Jiang to make a high-speed assault for close reconnaissance. If he could see it with his own eyes, he would be able to analyze more clues.
But after a short thought, he dismissed the idea.
The [Magic Mechanical Falcon] cut off the connection in the end, and the ghost knows if he will get lost in it. Secondly, no one can figure out the dark orc's means, and the air is not absolutely safe.
If the car overturns by itself, it's all over.
The safest thing to do is continue to wait for the strategy module to recover.
As long as the strategy module comes, the short board in information will no longer exist.
Regardless of whether the information is comprehensive or not, the safest solution is to stick to it, which is also the core goal of the challenge.
So he chose to stay where he was, and continued calling for the strategy module.
At the same time, he also took out the communication crystal, allowing Vereesa to use the authority of the command tower to send a team of wolf cavalry in various directions as field scouts.
Wolf cavalry squads can get close to the fog for observation.
Zong Shen judged that the gray fog not only blocked the vision, but also some kind of boundary.
At least until the offensive side is fully deployed, this line is not easy to cross.
This restriction should be effective on both sides.
The wolf cavalry can approach the edge of the fog and try a little bit.
There are twelve wolf cavalry warriors in a squad, and they can send one out to scout, tie a rope around the scout's waist, and withdraw if there is something wrong.
In order to ensure nothing goes wrong, the advanced intermediate space mage Reese Ulysses was in charge of running the errands in person.
She carried four communication crystals with lower numbers and handed them over to the team leader who was exploring in four directions.
Reese Ulysses is an important member of the territory, and Zong Shen will not let him take risks, because with her there, he can lead the members of the territory to flash in an emergency.
The wolf cavalry is different, even if one or two teams are sacrificed, it will not hurt, everything is for the final victory.
As long as you pass the challenge, all losses will be recovered!
After arranging backup reconnaissance methods, Zong Shen was a little relieved.
In fact, he has many ways to prepare before the start of the challenge.
For example, he used the blank beacon position of [thousand-kilometer-level portal (orange)] to mark three space beacons in the range of 15 to 50 kilometers in the territory.
He had already seen it just now. Although this is an independent challenge area, the surrounding terrain, environment, and the space coordinates left behind are perfectly reproduced.
In addition, the strengthened Reese Ulysses also arranged three [Shadow Wormhole] opening beacons according to this standard. These six beacons basically covered points in all directions outside the territory.
It is also Zong Shen's preparation for the follow-up counterattack and countermeasure plan.
…
More than ten minutes have passed, and the frontline scouts have not yet received the results.
But Zong Shen successfully summoned the strategy module!
【Following your call, great—Xiao Zongzi】
…
Zong Shen looked at the golden subtitles and couldn't laugh or cry.
He doesn't know whether the strategy module has an independent consciousness and personality~lightnovelpub.net~ because many times the strategy module will complain about him, or even ridicule him.
He could feel that these complaints were well-intentioned.
But sometimes the Raiders module behaves normally.
It made him feel that the strategy module is a very personable person, with a feeling of being both a teacher and a friend.
Now that the plug-in is in place, it's time to query the information.
Before those dark orcs are fully deployed, it is king to understand the enemy's situation first!
"Please tell me the number and strength of the dark orcs?"
(There is a dark orc's advance camp outside the four directions of the territory. The fog is isolated, and the number and attribute information are missing. Please wait for the fog to disperse)
