Chapter 2271 Intelligence
Of course, the news in Xilaitis City was much earlier than that in Willings City, but after receiving the news, everyone's first reaction was that they didn't believe it. You should know that the three legions of the church are the strongest legions in their hearts. In their eyes, their Sektor Star Monster was originally the greatest race in the world. Then, the most powerful legions among the "greatest races" were destroyed by someone shortly after they left. Do you think they can accept this fact?
But the facts are facts. At the beginning, the news that was sent back could not be believed, but soon they met some Sektor Star monster soldiers who fled back. Yes, although Li Huailin ambushed these people, it is unlikely to destroy them all without leaving them. There are always a few very lucky guys who can escape the siege and interception of Li Huailin's troops. After they returned to Shiletils City, the news was of course confirmed.
No matter how unbelievable it was, the church finally knew that its Third Legion had been wiped out. An important question after the shock was that they would do the next thing. Yes, the thing they were most worried about finally happened. Now the city of Shiletils was empty, and then the enemy's troops appeared near Shiletils without knowing how they appeared near Shiletils. What should I do?
The first answer that everyone wants is of course to call their elite troops back first. Of course, the elite troops here refer to the troops of the 1st and 2nd Legion who are still alive. They are still resisting the opponent's "main force" in the east, but it's time now, and the holy city of Hildeirs is in danger, okay? It's not appropriate that you are still in the east, so I quickly sent someone to send an order, and let them come back first no matter what happens.
Of course, Sonia didn't want to give this order, but thinking about Li Huailin's previous statement that he should not alert the snake, there seems to be no reason to stop this matter now, so he can only order it. However, it is not so easy for the First and Second Legion to come back. The opponent's troops have not been eliminated yet. Can you see the First and Second Legion withdraw so simply? These high apostles also know that it is impossible.
If you know that your main force cannot retreat, then what you need to solve now is what force to use to resist the current attack. First of all, there are more than 10,000 troops who can use now. Yes, this unit is the direct unit of the church, which means similar to the guards. Unlike the First, Second, Third Corps that want to go out to fight everywhere, this unit has always been a force stationed in the city of Hiletteles, and it can be said that it is the last resistance force of the Clarence Church.
Of course, this army cannot be dispatched unless it is absolutely necessary, but the current situation is a last resort. Is it okay for them to fight at home? So of course this army must be prepared. However, this army is less combat-effective than the troops going out to fight. Yes, I said before that the tactical qualities of the several legions of the Corrans Church are already very poor. After all, they only participate in combat against rebellions. How much combat effectiveness does the rebels have? They are basically crushing the situation and cannot be considered as troops that have experienced real battles. But they have fought at least, okay?
The direct troops of this church are really not involved in any battles. Their work is usually equivalent to a guard of honor, that is, when the church organizes sacrificial activities, they stand up and let everyone show how powerful the church soldiers are. Although these soldiers are all very strong and their equipment is also excellent and exaggerated, they are really soldiers who have never experienced the real battlefield. They are not mentally prepared. They hear that they are really going to the battlefield now, so they are also very panicked.
On the other hand, the number of people directly under the Corrans Church is too small, and the amount of people is only more than 10,000 people. This is of course not enough. The City of Cialis is a large city with a population of one million, and these 10,000 people are not satisfied with standing on the city walls. According to the soldiers who fled back, the enemy army had at least hundreds of thousands of troops, and even leaning against the high walls and strong cities, they could not bear it.
Moreover, they said that the enemy's unit is extremely combative, and some soldiers can almost fight with their Sektor Star Monster one-on-one without falling behind. Of course, this is what happened with the support of Li Huailin's halo. Of course, these Sektor Star Monster soldiers don't know. What they saw was that some people on the opposite side were equal to their teammates, which completely subverted their original views.
In this case, the higher apostles of the church also knew that these ten thousand people could not stop the enemy's attacks, so the other group of people who could use now were of course civilians. Yes, the church is preparing to mobilize civilians. After all, this is a big city with a population of one million, and of course there are many people in the city. If they are mobilized, who can resist this million army?
Of course, everyone knows that the combat effectiveness of civilians is limited. Even if you give them weapons, you will let them have the combat effectiveness of soldiers. Of course, the higher apostles of the church also know, so what they mean is to mobilize more civilians and make up for the quality. If one is not enough, we will get ten, anyway, there are many people.
This suggestion was unanimously praised without further ado. Of course, all the higher apostles agreed. Except for one person, the objector was the leader Sonia.
Sonia would object and surprised everyone. What's the point of opposing it? Now that there are no soldiers in the city, of course, I'll take these civilians to the front line to die. Is there any question? All the high apostles looked at Sonia with surprise, but they didn't understand what she meant.
Of course, Sonya didn't care about the lives and death of these Sektor star monsters. She was originally a human being. What she was worried about was Li Huailin's side. Because there were really many Sektor star monsters in the city, once they started, she was really worried that Li Huailin and the others would not be able to fight in. This was a problem. But it is indeed not easy to explain now. You can't tell the truth. So she could only tactfully say that war should not involve civilians.
You can imagine that after she finished speaking, all the higher apostles looked at Sonia with a look of "Are you teasing me?". Even Sonia herself didn't believe this, and the others even thought that Sonia had a fever and her brain was burned out.
The scene was very awkward at one point, but fortunately, everyone was anxious about how to save Shiletils City, and they didn't have time to think about whether Sonia had any problems. And at this very awkward time, Li Huailin came out to save the scene.
Yes, Li Huailin appeared in the conference room for no reason again. Although it was not the first time, this time it still scared all the higher apostles. Of course, they had already asked Sonya about Li Huailin. According to Sonya, this human being is a high-level thief and has a very impressive figure. You can see that he can escape the church's eyeliner and enter the conference room to prove this. Of course, this method made these higher apostles very afraid, but now they have no time to study these things.
Of course, even if this is the case, Li Huailin suddenly appears in the conference room, so you can't just run in casually. This is a secret meeting of the church. Of course, Li Huailin also prepared the reason.
"I have new top-secret information." Li Huailin asked Sonya, who knew the Sektorian language, to convey it on his behalf.
"Top secret information?" All the high apostles were of course stunned when they heard Li Huailin's words, "What is it?"
"First of all, the troops in the east have joined forces now, with a total number of troops of about 300,000 people." Li Huailin said.
"Three hundred thousand people?" All the high apostles were stunned when they heard this number. They didn't expect that there were so many people on the other side, which was more information than they had received before. And if these 300,000 people were so powerful, how could they fight?
"Of course this news is not a top-secret information." Li Huailin continued, "What I want to tell you is that I have found the location of the other army's food and supplies."
"Ha?" All the higher apostles were shocked. The location of food and grass was an important message. Of course, there was no concept of a quick end of war in the hearts of all the higher apostles. In their opinion, even if they were short of troops now, in the current situation of the city of Hildeirs, there was no problem in fighting the siege for a long time.
If the battle lasts for a long time, the food and grass on both sides are of course a problem. First of all, there is no problem with the food and grass in Xiletiels. In the past few years, there is no problem with the food and grass they have stocked up here for three or four months.
They don’t know much about the food and grass on the invading army. But theoretically, there should be no problem with the other party holding on for a month. At this time, can you plan a plan if you know the location of the food and grass?
"What you said is true?" After hearing Li Huailin's words, several high apostles thought of doing something to each other's food and grass, but they are not sure about Li Huailin's identity now, so they still have some doubts.
"You don't need to ask this question." Of course they said to Sonia, but Sonia didn't translate it to Li Huailin, and answered directly to the group of people, "You can believe this guy's words, I can guarantee him."
