Turning her head, Ariel looked at the members present.

Among the members of Mermaid Song, Jelly was seriously injured and was still unable to attend the meeting. Tesla was charged with crimes and was unable to attend. In addition, all other guild members were present, plus other general members and some management departments

If the leader wants to decide the future plan of the entire mermaid army, then he should be able to express his thoughts now.

"Everyone, I have an idea now that I need to discuss with you."

Everyone in the meeting fell silent. Everyone looked at the Marquis and listened quietly.

Ariel took a deep breath, pointed at the map on the wall and said, "Everyone should have seen it, although we can't confirm whether the Demon King's army stronghold mentioned by the fox demon is really true, nor can we confirm the enemy's location.

Does the total number really exceed one million? But from a cautious point of view, we must handle this as real information."

"This also means that our mermaid army needs to fight against enemies that are far more than five times our number. And these enemies are likely to have the same armed forces as we have today, or at least the difference is not very different."

"Under the current circumstances, we need to consider the next strategic approach. I would like to listen to everyone's opinions here first and see if you have any ideas."

After listening to Ariel's statement, everyone in the meeting fell silent, but within a few seconds they began to whisper and discuss among themselves.

About a minute later, a clear voice sounded from the other side of the conference table. Everyone's eyes turned to it, it was the acting leader of the Flower Fairy - Qiangwei.

"Miss Ariel, if you want to discuss strategy, I think you should already have a general idea."

Ariel smiled and said, "I do have ideas, but I want to know more about everyone's ideas to avoid being constrained by my ideas."

Qiangwei nodded and then said: "I have also been thinking about what we, the flower fairies, can do in addition to undertaking some infrastructure work and logistical support."

"We are creatures made of natural elements. We can hear the cries of forests and flowers in the distance on the earth. Recently, the Demon King Army has begun to build element machine factories. They cut down forests and mine minerals without any plan. Those flowers, plants and trees

The cries were brought by the wind spirit, and they kept talking to us."

"Therefore, my idea is that we must stop those demons from doing this. We should mobilize a large army to attack Tianhong Province. This is the area where the Demon King's army is building various element machine factories. As long as we can destroy this area, then our victory will be

It’s right in front of you.”

After Qiangwei finished speaking, Cheese on the other side tapped the table with his fingers and said, "Let's not mention the crying and talking of flowers and trees. We really need to solve the problem of the element machine factory in Tianhong Province as soon as possible.

question."

"Those demons are more diligent than our vampires. Our vampires can only do night work, but I heard from my brothers that those demons can work all night long without rest. Anyway, once a demon runs out of energy

If it falls, the next demon will immediately rise to the top. And those demons don’t have to worry about the concept of production safety at all, and they don’t take any of the various measures we use to protect the stability of ordinary people’s work and life. So from the perspective of the speed of construction,

The molding speed of their weapons and equipment is probably more than ten times that of ours."

"Is it really that efficient? I don't believe it." The person who spoke at this time was Thor, an alchemist.

The short, fat but very strong alchemist left his seat, looked at the map on the wall, and said while studying it——

"I don't deny that the devil's work must be very fast, but no matter how fast it is, it still requires resources to be able to fill it all at once."

"We all know that the Marginal Province should be the home base of the Demon King's army, and the Demon King should also stay there. However, the Marginal Province is not a resource-rich region. If you want to develop and grow, you must be in a region rich in natural resources.

Construction will be carried out in Tianhong Province.”

"Tianhong Province relies on mountains and rivers. The mountains can provide a large amount of magic crystal mines. If there are many rivers, ship transportation can be developed, allowing materials to be spread to various places as much as possible. But no matter how fast it is, without fully exploring

None of this can operate efficiently until we understand the production technology and master the proficient process.”

Thor turned his head and looked at Ariel and said: "Even if the demons can run continuously regardless of their own safety and limits, their factories are still designed according to our elemental machine factory. No matter how fast the factory's production speed is, it cannot be faster than

Our current efficiency is ten times faster. According to my idea, two or three times the speed should be the limit."

Cream nodded: "I also agree with Mr. Thor. But even if it is two or three times the speed, it is already terrifying."

Thor clapped his hands and said: "So, my suggestion is that we should not think about destroying the Demon King's army's arsenal as soon as possible. It is heavily guarded there, and if we attack hard, we will definitely suffer heavy losses. Therefore, we should follow our previous ideas and pass

The rail car will head towards Diliao Province, and then try to attack Breaking Wave City again. As long as we can capture Breaking Wave City, we will have an outlet to the sea and can cut off the Demon King's army's sea transportation route on the sea."

"As long as we can destroy their sea transportation as soon as possible, then I believe that their factory construction speed will definitely slow down. At that time, we can fight a protracted war with the other party and slowly weaken the other party by using the other party's rampage when encountering problems.

It’s combat effectiveness. If we really can’t defeat Polang City, it doesn’t matter. There will definitely be transportation from Polang City to the military factory. We can find a way to cut off the transportation route of the Demon King’s army, and that is also a method.”

Thor's statement does have some truth to it. Directly attacking the military factories in Tianhong Province is too dangerous, but attacking Polang City in Diliao Province does not mean that the safety factor is much higher.

At this time, Sweet Wine Cheese could no longer hold on any longer. She gritted her teeth and slapped the table, loudly saying: "It's so troublesome! According to me, let's go directly and knock down Blue Bay so that they can't attack the Demon King."

Isn’t it over for the army to transport supplies? It’s difficult to fight against the Demon King’s army, but it will be much easier to fight against Blue Bay under that bastard Tide, right?!”

Now, three opinions have appeared on the court.

Everyone also began to discuss these three opinions continuously, trying to persuade the other two parties to accept their opinions.

Ariel listened on the sidelines, asking questions of her own about these three strategic directions from time to time, but overall she maintained the perspective of an observer.

Once the attack on the arsenal in Tianhong Province is successful, the results will be huge, and it can directly destroy the armed forces of the Demon King Army. However, the risk factor is also the highest, and the Mermaid Army will definitely suffer heavy losses. There is also another problem, that is, even if it is defeated,

, and there is no guarantee that the Demon King’s Army will not rebuild the military factory elsewhere.

Attacking Pilang City in Diliao Province or cutting off transportation routes has a medium risk factor. With an outlet to the sea, the Mermaid Army can conduct maritime trade and find ways to cut off the communication between the Demon King's Army and other countries, especially blocking other countries.

Some weak elements contributed wealth and supplies via sea route.

The attack on the Blue Bay Empire may be the most successful and the least dangerous. But from an international perspective, the Mermaid Army is not a hegemonic army like the Demon King's Army, nor is it an ordinary imperial army. The Mermaid Army must keep its word, and the Alliance only needs to

If there is no apparent rupture, then we must try our best to maintain it. And even if the Blue Bay Empire is conquered, there is no guarantee that other countries will communicate with the Demon King's Army. Moreover, the Demon King's Army can connect many through other channels in the Forbidden Land.

There are many other countries, and those countries will also continuously send supplies to the Demon King's army.

The current mermaid army obviously does not have the military strength to use troops in three aspects at the same time.

No, not to mention three aspects, I am afraid it is very difficult to use troops in two aspects.

In this case, it is very important to work out the strategy for the next stage.

"You say you are right and I say I am right. If we all start arguing like this, there will definitely be no end to it."

Seeing that everyone was arguing all the time, Suta couldn't stand it anymore and said in a soft voice——

"Everyone, please calm down. We have said so much, why don't we just listen and see what the president thinks."

After arguing for a long time, everyone finally turned their attention to Ariel.

Seeing that everyone had finished talking, Ariel finally nodded, coughed pretending to be calm, stood in front of the map, scanned all the corners, and said -

"Everyone, I have understood what you just summarized. To be honest, I did have an idea in my mind for a long time, but after everyone's discussion, I discovered that my idea was very crude and not feasible at all.

."

When disappointment flashed across everyone's faces, Ariel comforted everyone with a smile——

"But don't be so frustrated. Although my initial ideas were very problematic, many of the plans you have just proposed can make my ideas more realistic and feasible."

"First of all, Mr. Thor just said that it is impossible for the armed forces of the Demon King Army to form combat capabilities so quickly. No matter how unified their operational capabilities are, it will definitely take some time for Yi Ge, the leader, to integrate.

This blank period is the time left for us to attack."

"Sweet Cheese also said that we can't let the Blue Bay Empire continue to give blood to the Demon King's army, and we can't let other countries continue to exploit these demons."

"In addition, Ms. Qiangwei is right. After the construction of the elemental machine factory is completed and they go all out to build elemental guns, elemental cannons and other things, our chances of winning can be said to be greatly reduced."

"Whether it's breaking through Wave City, attacking the Element Machine Factory, or attacking the Blue Bay Empire, the starting point of these three strategic policies are actually the same, that is, our time is limited, and we must try our best to weaken the Demon King's army.

The current armed measures prevent them from forming the same level of combat effectiveness as us."

"Then based on this rule, I am afraid that if we break any of them, it will not be possible to fully achieve the attack on the military technology level of the Demon King's Army. This will only delay the time. But it won't take long, and the Demon King's Army will not care about it.

Whether it is through construction or supplementation, we will eventually be able to form combat capabilities equal to ours."

Ariel's analysis makes sense. In fact, everyone understands this matter. But now things have to be prioritized.

Ariel continued: "Actually, we all know that there is not much time left for us now. The Demon King's army has begun to pay attention to our human combat capabilities and is trying to use huge numbers to overwhelm us. This is an indisputable fact.

Fact. So, now compared to the Demon King’s Army, we are the one that cannot continue to fight a protracted war. Our soldiers will continue to be consumed in the long battle, while the Demon King’s Army will continue to gain a lot of

Supplement.”

"For this reason, only by completely changing this situation can we end this war."

After listening to Ariel's statement, some of the people present seemed not to understand her thoughts very well. But some people immediately understood what Ariel wanted to do.

At that moment, Ji Lian, the leader of the intelligence organization, slammed his hands on the table, sweating all over his body, and looked at Ariel over there with wide eyes. He gritted his teeth, hesitated for a moment, and then finally said -

—

"President... you mean... that you want us to... have a decisive battle? A... decisive battle with the Demon King's army?"

As soon as this was said, everyone present fell into silence.

At this time, everyone understands what the term "Armageddon" actually means, but everyone also wants the president to tell everyone clearly what "Armed Force" actually means.

Ariel stretched out her hand, pointed at the map on the wall, and said slowly: "Since no matter what we do, we can only delay the Demon King's army's elemental gun arming speed, then we can only wait until our military strength is completely overwhelmed.

Solve this war as quickly as possible."

"Here, at the junction of Tianhong Province, Diliao Province and Haize Province where we are now, there are large areas of hills and plains, as well as intertwined river channels. It can be said that this is a place suitable for large-scale

A perfect place to launch military deployments and then conduct positional warfare."

"Since we here can think that the longer it takes, the more beneficial it will be to the Demon King's army, then I think the Demon King's army must also think so. Therefore, in their view, they only need to continue to prolong the war, and the Demon King's army

The greater the chance of the army's victory. Even if they think that our mermaid army will start a decisive battle with them, their strategic measures must be to focus on defense and postpone the attack."

"And what we want is a stalemate period in which the other side suspends its attack."
To be continued...
