The tactical map is hung in front of Gao Wen, and the map is marked one by one, place names, rivers and mudflats are accurately marked in the correct position.

Gorgon River, Red Maple City, Big Rock City, War Zone Dividing Line, the main position of the Cecil Legion, the direction of march... Advanced tactical concepts and convenient information transmission methods made this map present a lot of information that could shock the tacticians of this era, and also allowed Gao Wen to calculate most of the variables of a rushing march in a short time.

With the advancement speed of the Cecil Legion - although it was already very, very fast - Gao Wen's main force could not arrive at the Rock City in time. After all, the ground troops could not compare speed with the flying unit Maggie, and even if they rely on forcibly arrived within two days, the overly tired army could not fight the Crystal Cluster Legion, which had already had great combat effectiveness. After all, it was already the deepest part of the polluted area, and the Crystal Cluster Giants entrenched in them were all elite.

But he can attack Red Maple directly.

Red Maple is just north of the main force of the legion. There is only a relatively flat riverbank plain left between the two. The situation along the way has been discovered by reconnaissance forces. At the same time, this route is within the range of artillery support of the Cecil River Fleet. Even Red Maple City itself is relatively close to the Gorgon River. When the Trail Blazers arrive at the western river channel of Red Maple, nearly one-third of the entire city will be within the range of naval gun bombardment.

Considering the unique organizational structure of the crystal cluster giants, they will pay more attention to the "command center" than the human army. Once Red Maple City is attacked, Gao Wen dares to be 100% sure that all nearby crystal cluster giants will return to the rescue - including the group that is attacking the Stone City.

This is the high-text version of "surrounding Wei and saving Zhao".

Maggie quickly understood Gao Wen’s ideas and realized that this is probably the most likely solution to achieve at present.

"When our shells hit the Red Maple City Wall, the North Legion is half safe - the Crystal Cluster Giants have a certain degree of telepathy, and they will sense the danger of the base camp and return to rescue at the first time." Gao Wen stood in front of the map, sweeping between the Red Maple and the Big Rock City, "There will be two possibilities later. If we can completely destroy the Red Maple's command center before the enemy returning to the rescue arrives, the Crystal Cluster Legion that has lost the commander will immediately fall into weakness and out of control. They will return to the base camp according to their previous obsession, but their combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced. We can set up positions and simply eliminate those monsters that are similar to wild beasts;

"If the enemy's return to the rescue arrives before we break through the Red Maple Defense, then we will switch to mobile operations. The mechanized forces have better mobility and endurance than the Crystal Cluster Giants. We can take advantage of this and use the support of fleet artillery to eliminate those monsters on the plain in front of Red Maple City."

Gao Wen briefly finished his tactics, and then Philip and the staff began to revise and supplement the tactics. Maggie looked at the orderly scene in the command center with a little dazed, and suddenly felt that the Cecils seemed to be dealing with the war by controlling machines: all actions have plans, and all changes have set plans, soldiers, weapons, supplies, and even the enemy's resistance. All factors turned into parts and were filled into the huge war machine created by the Cecils...

The inevitable unexpected and accidental factors in war, as well as the flexible combat capabilities that the army must have, rely on these well-duty officers to supplement them with their wisdom.

At this moment, Gao Wen's voice suddenly came from the side, interrupting Maggie's thoughts: "In addition... I have another idea. Miss Maggie, you may be able to change our tactics more."

"Me?" Maggie was stunned, then nodded immediately, "If there is anything I can do, I will definitely cooperate!"

"You are a dragon, and you must be better at flying than a griffin or a giant eagle," Gao Wen's thoughts gradually became active. After paying attention to Maggie's identity as a dragon, some tactics that had been brewing in his mind long ago, but cannot be realized at this stage naturally emerged. "How much weight can you carry when flying?"

"I..." Maggie hesitated suddenly, with a little embarrassed look on her face, "Actually, she is not very good at flying..."

Gao Wen frowned slightly.

He thought of the pair of wings that he had seen before, as well as Maggie's too thin body in the black dragon state.

It seems that the physical problems of the dragon clan living in the human world are even more serious than he imagined. His abnormal body shape and wings... were indeed some serious deformity.

Maggie couldn't help but lower her head: "I'm sorry, but I can't help in this situation..."

"No, it doesn't matter, this is just an alternative," Gao Wen said, while continuing to extend his thoughts inspired by Maggie, gradually showing a thoughtful expression, "And I have an alternative option..."

As he said, he rubbed the hilarious silver ring he always carried with him.

Since you have established a "friendship" with the dragon, why not give it a try? Now maybe it's the time...

The magic structure built into the ring was activated and gradually emitted a little heat. After a moment, Gawain heard the voice of Melita Pernia ringing in his ears: "The Miltarian Treasure House is ready to serve our important customers at any time - Hello, Lord Duke."

"You should be nearby," Gao Wen was already familiar with the other party's skillful "official beginning" and said in a plain tone, "Can you come here?"

The person opposite the ring seemed stunned for a moment, and then hesitated for a moment before saying, "How do you know I'm nearby?"

Gao Wen's tone seemed to be smiling: "Is there anything more worthy of 'you' to observe' than this war?"

"…It's true," Melita seemed to chuckled slightly, "Please wait, I'll be there later."

The communication was suspended, and Gao Wen's eyes swept across Maggie next to him - he suddenly became a little curious, curious about how it would unfold when the Miss Blue Dragon from the Mithrilian Treasure House saw this black dragon living in human society.

...It shouldn't be a bloody scene where two dragons fight in the camp?

At the same time, in the warehouse area deep in the camp, Melita Pernia, wearing a lilac gauze dress and covered with gauze, stood up in the warehouse where she "staying in". She casually cleaned up the bed, bedding, pots and pans beside her - all "borrowed" from the nearby warehouse - and then held her head up and walked out of the Cecilian Mi Cang with her head raised and her chest swaggered.

She came from the southern border to the intersection of the Giant Mu Road, so she came here for free. As it turned out, as long as she was not caught by the strange half-elf, Miss Melita's dignity as a secret dragon could still be preserved. After so long, Cecil's quarantine officer did not find anyone stealing the army's rice...

Gao Wen thought that Melita was nearby and it would not take long before she came to him, but he never thought that this "it won't take long" would only wait for less than ten minutes.

When Amber came in with a strange look on his face and reported that the Mitsunian Treasure House agent had arrived outside the barracks, Gao Wen even suspected that Miss Blue Dragon had been living in his camp...

Melita Pernia walked into the barracks as the command center. She didn't care about others and walked straight towards Gaowen. But after two steps, she suddenly felt a breath that made her care. Following this breath, she saw the black-haired maid standing not far away from Gaowen.

The latter was looking over with a complicated look, with tension and restraint mixed in his expression, and a hint of vigilance.

The Mithril Treasure Agent's eyebrows couldn't help but slight up: "Genetic defective?"

Then she nodded slightly to Maggie and said lightly: "Hello."

At this moment, Maggie seemed to have countless words to say, but she opened her mouth, her eyes were complicated and inexplicable, but in the end, she just nodded slowly: "Hello."

All of this was seen by Gao Wen.

He was very curious in his heart, wanting to know how the dragon society is operating, what is the deformed dragon race like Maggie, how does a healthy dragon race like Melita view Maggie, wanting to know why dragons live in human society, but he knows that it is not the time to ask about these things now.

He waved his hand and left the unrelated personnel at the scene, leaving only himself and the two dragon clans behind.

Gao Wen pointed to Maggie standing next to him: "As a dragon clan, she should be able to listen to our conversation here, right?"

"Yes," Melita glanced at the black-haired maid, "all dragons know the secrets behind the Mitsunian Treasure House, including...she's like that."

"Then let's talk openly," Gao Wen exclaimed, "I have something I want to ask for your help."

"Let me guess..." Melita's lilac eyes shone slightly, "Do you want to use my power, or the power of the Misilan Treasure House to deal with those mutated 'monsters'?"

"...It's almost the same, but I never thought that it would be impossible to directly use the power of the Mitsunian Treasure House. I want to ask you..."

"Sad, neither can I," Melita interrupted without waiting for Gao Wen to finish his sentence, "Dragons cannot participate in wars on the continent. This is our law."

Gao Wen stared at Melita's eyes: "But the war between us and the Crystal Cluster Legion is no longer an ordinary war. It has involved the power of gods and may even involve the demon tide."

"This is indeed a debatable point," Melita said frankly, "but it is only debatable. From the perspective of the dragon clan as a whole, the crystal cluster monsters you mentioned can also be regarded as a new form of intelligent creatures. Perhaps you do not recognize their birth, their behavior, or even their social structures. But in the perspective of the dragon clan as a whole... this war is no essential difference from the change of dynasty in any country on the mainland."

Gao Wen expected that Miss Blue Dragon would not agree so easily, but he did not expect that the other party's attitude would be so firm and the angle would be so undeniable. However, after a brief thought, he still grasped the key points in Melita's words: "You said, this is from the perspective of the dragon clan as a whole..."

"...Yes, from the perspective of the dragon clan as a whole," Melita was silent for two seconds and breathed a sigh of relief, "But as individuals, I, and a large number of dragon clans, I'm afraid they will realize that the birth and spread of those infected people in the crystal cluster are a disaster, a disaster that should be stopped in time, but... As a member of the group, we can't take action so easily. You understand what I mean."

Gao Wen looked at Melita's eyes quietly for a few seconds and understood the deep meaning of the other person's words.

Give me a step, I'll go back and talk to my boss.jpg.

Gao Wen started to think about it, and it took him a thought before he could think for long.

"Let's change direction," he adjusted his seat in the chair and looked at Melita leisurely. "As far as I know, your Mitsuncan treasure house also has transportation business."

“It does.”

"Then I entrust you to give some things to the commanders of the Crystal Cluster in Hongfeng City..."

"What?"

“…Three tons of crystallized bombs, air transport, on-duty.”

Melita looked at Gao Wen with wide eyes and said nothing for a long time: "..."

Gao Wen was a little worried: "Is there any problem?"

“…My upbringing prevents me from speaking dirty words on such occasions, please forgive me—but I must admit that this is the most exciting breach of loopholes I have ever seen.”

Gao Wen exclaimed: "That's no problem."

"No, there is another problem," Melita interrupted Gao Wen immediately. "I don't think... the target customer will pay after receiving the goods. This issue is very important."

Gao Wen blinked, but he couldn't see any jokes on Melita's face, so he had to think carefully and try to say, "Do you still remember that 'God Metal'? If you are still interested, I can give you a piece of fragment that is bigger than last time, which we discovered not long ago."

He was talking about the "zenith star relics" found from the fortress of disobedience. As far as he knew, the dragon clan had been collecting similar things. Those ancient device fragments were hard currency for the dragon clan that were harder than gold, silver and gems.

And in his hands, half of the warehouse was piled up.

Melita's breathing could not help but become rushing, and she wanted to shirk it off again, because after all, this was a game of the highest review team, and she was likely to be punished, but...

"make a deal."

But Cecil's price is too high.

After the transaction was completed, Gao Wen finally breathed a sigh of relief and said casually: "Your attack...I mean, your delivery will be a secret operation. I will prepare the 'cargo' in advance on the hill on the west side of the camp, and you can pick it up on your own."

"I understand," Melita nodded, but then her expression became serious, "I just want to remind you that this is probably the only time I can help in the whole war, and it is already a loophole in the rules - you are looking for a good opportunity. If it were earlier, I would not necessarily think that those infected people in the crystal cluster were such a threat, and if it was later... the review team will focus on this continent, and they will not allow me to drill for loopholes under their noses."

The review group...sounds like the ruling body of the dragon clan?

Gao Wen silently kept these information that might be useful in the future in his heart. Before Melita left, he asked a question curiously: "You just said that dragons cannot participate in wars on the mainland, right?"

Melita nodded: "This is what I said."

Gao Wen pointed to Maggie next to him: "What about her?"

Melita looked at Maggie with a slightly complicated look, then looked into Gao Wen's eyes: "Except for her and her ethnic group.

"She comes from the Duchy of the Holy Dragon and is a descendant of the exiled."

After saying this, Miss Lan Long seemed to not want to stay here for more, so she turned around and left the room.

"What does the offspring of the exile mean? If this question makes you feel offensive, you can not answer it."

After Melita left, Gao Wen raised his head and looked at the dark-haired maid standing next to him.

Maggie's mood had calmed down at this time. She took a light breath and said in a tone that seemed to be unchanged: "It's nothing offensive - everyone knows that the people of the Holy Dragon Principality have always called themselves dragon descendants, but few people know that there is a reason for this claim.

"The ruler and some noble members of the Holy Dragon Principality are indeed dragons - dragons who were exiled by the dragon's hometown of 'Tarrond' due to genetic deterioration and some mistakes made by some ancestors."

Then she smiled, shook her head, and said with a self-deprecating voice: "So no matter how time changes or how the countries rise and fall, these poor people will never leave the bitter and cold mountain, and will always call themselves the 'principality' rather than the kingdom or empire..."

Gao Wen listened to the unexpected information with a little shock, and suddenly realized something: "So... are you a nobleman of the Holy Dragon Principality? Or is the Dragon Blood Duke..."

Maggie interrupted Gao Wen with a little resistance: "Sorry, it's just a marginal family that is not valued, and that's already a thing of the past. I don't want to have any connection with it anymore."

"I understand," Gao Wen sighed, "Anyway, let's take a break, we're going to set off in more than an hour."

...

The chariots were started, the warships were drawn, and Cecil's war machine re-emerged on the journey of iron and fire after a brief renovation.

On the Gorgon River, the Trail Blazers led the Aurora and Morning Star, and led several inland warships converted from freight ships and two light gunboats to ride the wind and waves. The magic wings were covered by black cloth, the sound of the engine was covered by sound insulation barriers, and the head of the ship made of steel split the river water, and the fleet sailed to the north like a silent ghost;

On the east bank of the Gorgon River, chariots and various troop transport vehicles advanced along the march route explored by the Iron Rangers and Giant Eagle Scouts in the front, rolled over the rocky beaches, crossed the gully gullies, distributed night vision potions to individual soldiers and the light filters installed on each chariot made the army move forward quickly in the dark wilderness;

This day is the 43rd month of recovery.
