Chapter 187: Marching on a Snowy Night
Back at the mansion, Chen Yaogang took out all his belongings, and he had to make the most ideal enchantment for the weapon to deal with the battle.
In this battle, Shana planned to let the Roger sisters and the nun of the heart come out in full swing and make a final desperate attempt.
Chen Yaogang dissuaded Shana from the impulsive and asked more key information: "In other words, Patty also intends to use the heart of all vision to find the magic gem. Her secret connection with the lord of the pseudo-god lord completely replaced Marendre's position, right?"
Shana sighed, "Yes, and they are already ahead of us. We don't know whether she is a demon or a group of demons... and we know nothing about the false god Lord. We don't know who he is or where he is. These secret activities have been rooted in the West for a long time, and even we may have spies and traitors."
Chen Yaogang said: "I have the key to the ruins, and we can chase them from the shortcuts of the ruins passage. At this level of combat, the more people there are, the more trouble we have. We only need to send a few teams to open the way and let the large troops stay and stalemate with the demons."
Shana looked at Chen Yaogang with some doubts: "How sure are you? The lives of thousands of soldiers may be ruined by a wrong tactical layout. There are no more people and demons in the Western Region. If there are more and more monsters and even food production cannot be restored, we will sooner or later be trapped here."
Chen Yaogang hugged his arms: "Shana, calm down, you are the most senior commander of this battle. Except for freelancers like me who do not obey your orders, you need to be responsible for others. If you have completely lost confidence in your tactical layout, how can you be a commander?"
"Yes, you're right, I need to calm down. I can't fail yet. If I fail, what will others do..." Shana's mental pressure was too high, and there were almost signs of mental collapse, but this was her fate. The army with the Roger sisters as the main members... Chen Yaogang could not replace her and become the commander.
Let a group of "elite warriors" in matriarchal society listen to a man's words and win every battle. If you encounter some setbacks halfway, it will cause doubts and differences within the army, and even make private messes without obeying orders... Then this idea is really terrible.
In ancient times, people marched, and the troops were going before they moved their food and grass. If it was really like Shana said, playing the human sea tactic... Don't win, a group of people would be so funny that they were so hungry that they were frozen to death on the road.
According to ancient marching data, it takes about 7 days and 8 hours to walk from Rogue to the foot of the mountain. Including rest, camping, cooking fires and eating, and even sleeping, including the problems of various mortal shit, peeing, and being attacked by monsters, the time spent on marching is at least doubled.
The simple teleportation array rebuilt by one-eyed Kaila is very different from the teleportation array made by dozens of professional mages. If thousands of warriors were suddenly stuffed, even if someone was willing to stand up and selflessly bear the certain amount of magic consumption burden... the teleportation array may not be able to withstand such a level of tossing.
Fortunately, the basic time taken from Fair London is only two and a half days.
If you use enchant vehicles like Chen Yaogang to get things done, or accelerate movements such as group movements, the marching speed will be shortened again.
At the blacksmith shop, Koona threw away the hammer on the spot after hearing about the emergency marching plan: "Do you go tonight! I must go together this time. My hammers and tools are all in the monastery. If I can retrieve them, I can find a way to create better enchantment equipment."
Chen Yaogang looked at the two Heratim scholars in the blacksmith shop and could only patiently persuade Koona: "Kela has tested the limit of the teleportation array. There should be no big problem with 500 people in a day. If there are more, it is easy to cause the etheric anchor point to collapse and teleport people to other locations randomly."
"The magic reserves of each city block do not support the entire attack of thousands of people, so it is better to stay on the city block with no combat effectiveness."
However, no matter what Chen Yaogang said, Kou Na was disobedient. She would make trouble as long as she didn't let her go together. After a while, this girl actually learned to threaten people: "I don't care. The nun of the sensual adopted me. I must help them take back their hometown! Even if it was very dangerous, I could still take up weapons to fight! Don't underestimate me!"
Chen Yaogang had no choice but to compromise: "Okay, okay, stop making trouble, give me the armor first. I suddenly set off tonight. There are too many things we need to prepare. If you really want to go, just go and discuss with Shana and the others. I am neither a commander nor an army soldier, so you don't have to tell me this."
Koona was about to assemble the armor, then raised her head suspiciously: "Don't say bad things about Shana, deliberately not letting me go or something..."
...Chen Yaogang was speechless. She insisted on going, but no matter how much outsiders stopped her, it would be useless.
After Shana issued an emergency notice, the only three remaining cities in the Western Frontier immediately began an emergency mobilization.
Those who can go, those who can't go, those who want to go, those who dare not go... Use a ruler to screen out these people, and ensure that there are no more than 500 people to go in the end.
However, the actual situation is even worse than Chen Yaogang thought: after witnessing the devastated Western wilderness and experiencing the pain of losing home and relatives and friends, most people are unwilling to leave the city block that sheltered from the wind and rain.
Until Chen Yaogang and others were counted, the number of people to go was finally determined, and only 300 people were gathered.
Compared with humans, horses and other animals are more likely to be frightened and out of control. Most people can only carry the rations and utensils needed for the march, and only a very small number of people with storage props can reduce the burden on their shoulders.
"Southum's Templars have come too. I heard that they have collusion with cultists. Those abnormal guys will come to help?"
"Maybe it's for atonement, maybe they're just being deceived... Don't think too much, as long as they can kill the demons and protect the people, they're good."
"Are those tidal night watchmen in Fair London? Their main forces are all distributed in the Sea of Pain and the East, so how could they join the battle?"
"Oh, there's really nothing we can do this time, right? I saw them put the chefs and blacksmiths in the teleportation list. If they didn't succeed, what will we do in the future?"
"No matter whether they are good or bad people, as long as they don't become dead people, there are fewer and fewer living people in the city. I am really afraid that I will be left in the end."
Chen Yaogang packed his luggage, appeared near the teleportation array wearing steel Fiery Sun enchanting armor and barbarian cloak.
Everyone who decided to participate in the battle held their breath solemnly, prepared to teleport to Fair London with these people, and marched overnight to the Convent of Heart-Eyes.
Shana looked around and stood on the teleportation array and said loudly: "Everyone, we are the only warriors who go to the front line to fight against the demons. The others need to be stationed in the city. I hope you can understand their situation. For the future of Roger's watch, we must do our best! And... we must come back alive!"
"Never insult the divine mission!!" the well-trained Roger sisters shouted together.
One-eyed Kaira said: "Everyone is on the verge of standing firmly. Daphne and Jeffka help me. Group teleportation is about to be ready. Don't let yourself leave the space channel!"
