Chapter 963 The Devil Can Also Calculate
On the morning of July 19, the coalition fleet, which had been reconnaissance on the coast for several days, finally made a movement. In the bright light cast by the rising sun, the sea steel giant beasts dyed golden broke through the waves, and set out neat formations and rushed straight to the direction of land with the force of Mount Tai. On the surface decks of several aircraft carriers left on the spot, a large number of fighter jets also made deafening roars, jumping into the sky one after another, hovering above the head of the attack fleet, making people's souls tremble.
"Is this what you call a 'large-scale tentative attack'?" William said in the bridge of the Dawn, pointing silently at the grand and exaggerated scene outside the porthole in front of Alicia, who was sitting in the main seat, "No matter how you look at it, it looks like a formal attack, hey!"
Alicia looked at William with her head slightly, then curled her lips lightly and said, "Don't be excited, Brother William. This is indeed just a tentative attack, because I have not sent a landing force. The fleet will cooperate with fighter jets to carry out firepower strikes on coastal targets later, and make a stance to land after suppressing firepower. As long as the ground troops are not dispatched, it is a firepower strike; and once the ground troops are dispatched, it is a formal landing operation. It is actually difficult to distinguish the two, and the demons cannot figure out whether we are going to launch an attack, so they will definitely go all out to defend. And this is exactly what I want."
Imris, who was standing next to the little queen, suddenly lit up a light bulb on his head, and suddenly pounded his palms and said, "So that's it. The coalition fleet has arrived at the coast of the land of despair. No demon's navy came out to fight, which means that the opponent's strength is completely inferior to us, so he can only choose to hide. However, it is not possible to avoid the battle, so the enemy must be waiting for the coalition to take the initiative, and then cooperate with the forces of land and air to carry out resistance to gradually weaken the coalition's combat power and buy time for their final decisive weapons. In other words, no matter where the demon's army is hidden, they will all appear after the battle begins. Sister, do you want to find out the opponent's background through this tentative attack?"
"That's right. That's about it." Alicia smiled and nodded slightly, "The fleet can launch artillery fire when it is far from the coast, and fighter jets come and go even more freely. The advantage of weapons determines that the coalition forces do not need to conduct large-scale frontal contact with the massive cannon fodder troops of the demons to launch a fierce attack on the enemy. In other words, if the bat wings do not have a special killer weapon, we can use powerful firepower to plow the coast into scorched earth before sending ground troops to land slowly. But obviously that is impossible, and the enemy must have prepared something."
"The purpose of this battle is to lure the opponent to use the killer weapon in advance, right?" William finally understood everything at this time. He held his forehead with cold sweat and said, "The devil is not sure whether this is a simple fire strike or a regular landing battle, so he will most likely use all his strength as soon as he comes up. Although the coalition looks huge, the key air warships, dragons, fallen angels and other advanced troops have not been dispatched, and they have strong backhand capabilities. As long as the enemy's large troops appear on the battlefield, you can launch a second wave of offensives to eat all the opponent. Then take advantage of the situation and make a real move and turn the tentative attack into a real landing battle. Well, Alicea, you won."
"I haven't won yet." The blonde girl murmured as she touched her nose and looked out of the porthole, "and don't forget that this place has been transformed into their base camp by demons. God knows what kind of luxurious meetings the other party has prepared are waiting for us - maybe a sacrifice tower closer to the coast is a good choice?"
The Sacrifice Tower is definitely a law-level strategic weapon with an extra standard, and it is not an exaggeration to say it is a bug. Tyranmire was attacked by the coalition forces before it was completed. Therefore, everyone's understanding of this thing is still stuck in the historical records and has never experienced it personally. The only thing that Hethithil, who had seen in the land of despair, is still asleep. At that time, she threw a map cannon directly, and probably didn't feel much real...
If the demon did not set up such a law weapon in his lair, she would not believe that Alicia would kill him. Although she was not sure whether Ulric, who is now in a slump in the war, could activate the Sacrifice Tower without the support of Delonsa, the demons' hometown, or how long it could be activated, it was a terrible threat after all, which made the little queen feel like she was stuck in her throat.
"You don't have to worry too much about this." The mercury lamp holding a bottle of yogurt suddenly spoke indifferently. "That thing will only greatly increase the vitality and energy of cannon fodder, but not improve defense, so there is nothing to be afraid of. Think about it carefully, those massive low-level monsters and transformed monsters are all melee battles, and each BUFF provided by the Sacrifice Tower provides, ten similar cannon fodders will be consumed. This determines that their number will not be large. As long as they use fierce long-range firepower to kill before the opponent approaches, it will be OK? And even if these curious crawls rushed to the coalition ground forces? Infantry can't defeat them. Don't we still have the Tiger King tanks? The coalition forces are no longer the weak people who were chased to run away in the past!"
[The Mercury Lamp is indeed right. The coalition forces are very strong now. Even if the demons start the sacrifice tower, they can still fight head-on with the enemy. But how should Mindal explain the prophecy? I don’t think Ulric has such great ability to defeat the coalition forces as a whole. Could it be that he really mastered some terrible law?]
Before Alicia could think about it, the voice of the communications soldier there interrupted her thinking: "His Highness Icarus sent a contact, and the air force discovered the giant octopus. The other party had released the air units carrying, and the two sides were about to start a battle!"
Not dispatching the air warship does not mean that the little queen has not dispatched other elites under her command. Facing the loving tentacle monster that makes every magic girl feel scared, it is impossible to fight against it by relying solely on fighter planes. Therefore, Alicia sent Icarus, who is known as "Queen of Sky", to remind the big octopus whose territory is the sky.
"The two sides have formal contact and the air battle has begun."
"The giant octopus sprayed out some viscous corrosive liquid from his wrists and feet without discrimination, and moved to our fleet on the sea!"
"Many transformed monsters and submarine ships emerged from the surrounding sea, forming a siege against our fleet; another enemy surface fleet drove from the land direction, with a number of about one-third of our army."
This is the Dawn, which is not obtained from the pseudo-Master God. It does not have the ability to project distant images. All the battle situations are conveyed instantly by the communications soldiers; and in front of Alicea is a large table. A model sand table is laid above, and chess pieces of various colors and shapes show the current battlefield situation.
"Is it only one-third? The once extremely powerful demon is also in a state of decline." The little queen staring at the sand table slightly tilted her head and held her cheeks with her back of her hands. "No wonder, all the battleships with bat wings are built by humans and other races on Tyranmere. They do not have that kind of skill; when the mainland is half liberated by the coalition forces, how can they create warships and replenish their naval combat power? But no matter how much these warships are, these warships are not paper-based. Let Jikrem, who is in charge of commanding the fleet, deal with them carefully."
Jikrem, who led the surface fleet, was particularly good at defensive operations. After being surrounded by the enemy, he did not immediately panic and asked what to do. He must have taken measures to deal with it. If Alicea gives any further instructions at this moment, it may be a bad thing.
"The fleet has exchanged fire with the enemy and there is no big threat at the moment."
"His Highness Icarus successfully activated the Uranos system and is accumulating energy for the main gun!"
Everyone hurriedly looked into the distance. However, the battlefield was too far away from here, and they couldn't even see a firework.
Suddenly, a dazzling and dazzling light suddenly shone in the sky, almost like the sun falling into the atmosphere. The powerful hot air waves roared in the roar of the sky and the earth, causing the entire warship to tremble violently like a sieve.
The people on the bridge couldn't stand and rolled all over the ground.
"Yi, that guy Icarus is always so exaggerated every time he throws a map cannon." The dizzy Alicia couldn't tell the difference between the east, south, west and north at all, but even so, it could not stop her complaining. "I must train well after I come back, uh, right? I'm talking about her...ah?"
The blonde girl rolled from the chair to the floor in the vibration just now, lying on her back; while a person was pressing on her petite body, and an evil clutch was pressed tightly on the girl's slightly raised breast.
"Director, this script is wrong, isn't hello!?"
It seemed that Alicia's voice and her attempt to get up made the man come back to his senses. After calming down, Ya immediately pressed her other hand on the little queen's chest with excitement: "Woooh--! This soft touch, this cute shape, this faint size, this is definitely an A-cup!"
"A, your sister, believe it or not, I will beat you to death now!" Alicia screamed and raised her legs and kicked her on the other party's lower abdomen. "Ilia, where has your soul gone to death? Normally, according to the plot development just now, you should have knocked me down!"
The black-haired boy who rubbed his forehead and recovered from his dizziness was slightly confused by the side: "Uh, Ellie. Are you calling me?"
After a while of silence, the little queen pointed at Michelle, who was mosquito-shaped like a mosquito-shaped woman under Elia, and said lightly: "No matter what, please get up from this natural body first? Also, based on the feel of the hand, what cup should she be?"
"Sorry, I'm not very familiar with this."
"I'm asking you to take your hand away from Michelle's chest, stupid! And what are you recording in your notebook?"
The female reporter who was kicked several meters away by the little queen desperately sucked and said quickly: "Of course, it is to record and express the touch that I just realized in detail and perfection! There will be no more news in the world that attracts readers' attention than this."
"I'll ask you to look up at the fierce and cruel battlefield far away outside the window, and hey!"
Alicia, who was full of crazy faces, stood up and stamped her feet hatred. Just as she was about to continue to say something, the very dedicated communication soldier who finally got up interrupted the little queen again: "Mr. Jikrem sent a contact. The enemy's low-level monster combat power has been greatly improved compared to the past. A frigate was already sunk quickly after approaching. It is very likely that the other party activated the tower of sacrifice on land not far away!"
"I guessed it really? "Are you sure? "Allishya couldn't help but bit her thumb's nails and frowned, "Jicrem said nothing else, such as asking for reinforcements."
"No, the adult said in the contact that he could handle it. No reinforcements are needed for the time being."
[No need for the time being? This statement is so vague. It seems that Jicrem is a little confused. Well, in short, he was not scared by the name of the Tower of Sacrifice on the spot. The coalition can still fight.]
Before the Great Demon King appears, he will definitely send a large amount of cannon fodder to provide experience to the brave. No, it is a troublesome, and Ulrik is no exception. However, this guy used the Sacrifice Tower to strengthen some of these cannon fodders, trying to cause greater damage to the coalition forces - however, Ulrik used it too early. The warships are definitely not something that can be sunk casually by crawling with ten times stronger strength. Only by using BUFF in ground combat will you get greater benefits.
In short, the demon was a little too impatient.
But this is also impossible. Ulric dared not allow the coalition forces to land. Otherwise, once they were allowed to establish a teleportation array to obtain continuous supply and reinforcements and then gain a foothold in the desperate place, it would be a nightmare. Therefore, defeating the coalition forces on the sea before landing became the demon's primary strategic goal. In order to achieve the goal, these bat wings could do anything.
For example, let the giant octopus clean the sky without distinguishing its enemies, such as activate the sacrifice tower, and use the last fleet at the bottom of the box... They sent out all the combat power they could use, but it did not include land power. If the naval battle fails, these cannon fodders are the last piece that Ulric can abandon in order to gain time.
As for what the new Demon King is preparing for, only God knows.
The fierce battle continued, and the chess pieces placed on the sand table in front of Alicia were also constantly decreasing. As time went by, the encirclement of the demon navy gradually became a semi-encirclement, and then, along with the big octopus beaten into a full head by Icarus, began to retreat continuously.
"Sister..." Imris stepped forward and pointed at the sand table and spoke quietly.
"Ah, I noticed it." The little queen nodded sternly and said. "The enemy is retreating. This is strange. Although the demons used the fleet, precious and powerful air units such as the Chimera Undead Dragon were not sent out. They were obviously leaving behind the scenes, but using the entire fleet and a small monster as victims, the bat wings had a great courage."
"So sister, what should we do now? Give up the pursuit?"
The bridge suddenly became quiet, and even Dalilena, who was constantly brushing some things on the notebook, stopped the quill in her hand, fearing that the sounds would interfere with the blonde girl's thinking.
After pulling the dazed hair on his head hard for a long time, Alicia suddenly gave an instruction that shocked everyone to the ground: "Order the fleet to give up the advance and retreat backwards, and all the fighter planes will return immediately!"
"What, let the fighter plane come back?" William nearby couldn't help but say with a look of surprise, "Alisia, are you sure? Although the enemy's air force was crippled, it did not collapse. If the fleet on the water of the fighter plane was recovered at this time, wouldn't it be without air protection??"
"That's why I need to retreat." The blonde girl gently stroked her hair in her ear and curled her lips and snorted, "It turns out that the devil is making such a calculation, and I really can't help but praise her."
The expression on Imris's face changed from surprise to confusion: "Sister. Is there any mystery in it?"
"This is just an unfounded guess, but I still decided to withdraw for safety." Alicia said, turning her eyes from the sand table to the outside of the porthole. "Although the enemy sent a large number of air units, they are basically second-rate goods with small sizes. The powerful demon warrior is relatively small in size, which is very conducive to loading and recycling."
"Yes, but so what?"
"Ha, if the giant octopus suddenly reclaims these units into the body halfway through the battle, what do you think may happen next?"
The little queen's problem is very vague, completely challenging the limits of jumping thinking. The cute little Ice thought hard for a long time but never understood the meaning of the words. She had to shake her head in confusion: "Ice doesn't quite understand why the octopus takes the unit back in the battle?"
"From a large-scale powerful spell strike from the air!" William realized the key at this moment, and tried to stabilize his mind with sweat. "The enemy used this second-rate air force and unclimate naval fleet as bait to try to lure our fleet and fighter fleet to the coast, and then use spells to capture them all!"
Before everyone could breathe in, the communications soldier's voice penetrated in again.
"Her Majesty, the frontline troops sent a report that the giant octopus was recycling the air units it had released before."
Chapter completed!
