Section 57 Bridge

"That angel..." Boss of Blood Flag leaned on his chair. Whenever he recalled the posture of the four arms waving the lightsaber, he felt a faint pain in his abdomen. He also knew that this was a psychological effect - his wound had been completely healed. In the hallucinations constructed by Carrie, he had knocked down Wendini a hundred times, but the hallucinations were different from reality.

Today, the green army used magic to make a hole in the weak city wall and then rushed in. However, the angel came out and wiped out all the giants and trolls that rushed in... This invulnerable monster scared the goblins to run away, turning the battle into a big defeat, and even the Spider Boy, who was called an escape expert, was wiped out half.

If that angel appears on the battlefield...

"Ten minutes, Master Wendyn's protective field lasts for no more than ten minutes. It can only be invincible for ten minutes." Carrie replied in his mind. "And your sword can fight against its protective field. I believe Wendyn is their ace and will never take it out and use it at will! I'm worried about another thing."

"What's the matter?" asked Boss Blood Flag with some annoyance.

"Master, have you forgotten that their reinforcements are coming?" Carrie reminded.

Reinforcement troops? Indeed, a small team of people who came from somewhere today came from the Oran River on a boat. The simple raft built by the goblins was still a good idea to transport troops from both sides of the straits, but when it comes to water combat, it is far less flexible than the warships. In addition, the sudden and insufficient preparations were made, and the ship successfully got rid of the goblins' entanglement, successfully entered the city of Oren, and destroyed a raft.

However, this is just a small reinforcement. It is likely that a religiously keen little nobleman from Shem brought his private soldiers to fight for his faith. The reinforcements of such dozens of people are a good material to boost morale, and it is a joke if it is said to increase military strength. Therefore, the boss of the Blood Flag did not pay special attention to this matter.

"You don't think that since they've been going all the way, they must have discovered your plan to build a raft! In other words, Oren City already knows that you plan to capture the bridge."

"I know." The boss of the Blood Flag replied.

"They will be ready..."

"I'm ready, too." Boss of Blood Flag replied. He was a little restless just now, but now he has completely calmed down. However, this calmness has inexplicable power, just like the short tranquility before the storm that makes people feel panic.

"Master!" Carrie shouted anxiously. "You must consider..."

"Carrie." This time, the boss of the Blood Flag spoke calmly, "Didn't you say that Wendini should be their last ace?"

"Yes, but..."

"They have taken out the ace. If war is regarded as a gamble, since both sides have turned the last card, it should be almost time to decide the outcome." The boss of the Blood Flag said calmly. "And I have been waiting for too long this day."

This time, Perrin hurried into Carl's room. Carl was still fiddling with the strange machine as yesterday. But now this machine has been covered with a shiny metal shell. It turned out that the parts, the wire and metal sheets were all covered by the shell. It is difficult to describe this strange thing with no object. It should be said that it is like a mixture of a large pointed hammer, a cannon model, a cocktail and a bucket. When Perrin entered the door, Carl really held the strange thing in his hand through a handle, and a relief expression appeared on his face.

"Is there anything wrong, Perrin?" Carl asked. This time it was not a normal report time, but an urgent matter.

"The spies sent back the information from the Archbishop. Although they were attacked by a large group of Shiguge in the middle of the journey and suffered heavy losses, they did not sacrifice in vain. The news was reliable. Greenskin built a large number of rafts upstream... In other words, they planned to ride down the rafts, capture the bridge in one fell swoop, and cut our city into two sections."

"It doesn't matter." Carl replied casually. "Not a problem, the enemy's target is only here, not on the other side."

"Why? Isn't the Blood Duke's goal to avenge the Queen?" Indeed, Oren City is not so much a city as a bridge, but if the Blood Duke wants to avenge, he would not be able to let the other half of it be targeted.

"Because there are only residential areas on the other side, and there is a great temple here." Carl replied. The real reason he could not say. The target of the Blood Duke was on the surface of Oren City, but in fact it was the antimatter engine underground of the Great Temple.

"But this is also very dangerous. Our defense on that side of the city wall is weak, and the gate beside the bridge cannot withstand the attack... Although that gate..." Perrin didn't say the next sentence. The legend of the door was the creation of the gods in the star field. It can invalidate any magic, and even become a scenic spot in the city that promotes miracles and everyone knows it. But that door defense is just magic. As long as the green skins remove a piece of wood as a hammer, they can break the city gate.

"Captain Perrin, didn't I say it? Don't worry about these things, I have a trick!" Carl looked at the finished guy in his hand over and over. It was finally completed. Now it only takes a few tests, and this doesn't require anything. "And miracles can happen at any time... what do you think you should do?"

"I think we should divide the troops into multiple groups!" Perrin replied. "The gap in the city wall is definitely the focus of Greenskin's attack. Although the soldiers have already made fences at the gap, they will definitely be broken. So I think this position is best guarded by angels. On the bridge... I suggest that all the cannons and most of the elite troops be concentrated here. Once Greenskin breaks through the city gate, use the cannons to counterattack. As for the magicians, let them spread throughout the defense line to prevent Greenskin from using any siege machinery to climb into the city from other places."

"Good tactics," Carl replied. That's what he said, but there was no sign of approval in his tone. "But Commander Perrin, your combat plan is too conservative."

"Conservative? Then your opinion is..."

"The key to winning or losing a battle is not to defend the city, but to destroy the vampire!" Carl replied. "If the vampire escapes, then he can repeat the crisis at any time. And if the vampire can be completely eliminated, even if part of our city is destroyed is worth it. And for Greenskin, once the boss dies, they will immediately collapse the entire army. Do you think so?"

"That's right, but..." Perrin vaguely felt something was wrong, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong for a moment.

"Captain Perrin, what do you think if Greenskin launches a full-scale attack, their troops will be deployed? Logically speaking, the focus of the breakthrough is the gap, and the other is the gate on the bridge. At these two breakthroughs, the Blood-colored Duke will concentrate the elite troops, and other attacks will also be launched on other surfaces, but that is only a restraining nature. Are you right?"

"I think this should be the case." Perrin replied. Guessing that these do not require much IQ. Anyway, the gap in the city wall will definitely be given priority. Green skin prepared a large number of rafts, which was 100% the idea of ​​building bridges.

"Green Skin has quietly built so many large rafts in places we can't see. We must have planned to use this move as a killer move! So the Blood Duke will probably go to the battlefield to supervise the battle...Which side do you think if the Blood Duke plans to supervise the battle himself?"

"On the bridge." Perrin replied.

"Oh, why so sure?"

"Because the Blood Duke is a vampire who is good at strategy. The gap is not a good place to supervise the battle... If you enter the gap, it will be too dangerous and you are easily attacked by muskets or cannons when you come in. If he is in the rear, due to the blocking of the city wall, he will not be able to see the battle inside the city wall and react immediately. On the contrary, the bridge is much better. The city gate here is very large, and there are not such perfect street fighting fortifications... He will never miss it."

Because I had known the true identity of Greenskin's "Boss Boss" in Greenskin, I was not surprised that Greenskin knew the weaknesses of the city's defense. Of course, it is impossible for Orc Goblins and other things to buy human spies, but vampires are another matter. Vampires are good at dealing with humans and are easy to impersonate humans. Not only that, many black magicians hope to mainly adopt vampires in order to go further in black magic. So whether for money or for strength, vampires can easily buy humans to work hard for him. These spies must have been in the city, or even militia, and it is difficult for ordinary people to know their true identities. They use some secret methods to continuously deliver information to vampires.

Carl briefly described his ideas. First, an army was arranged to deal with the gap in the front wall, and the gate of the bridge concentrated all combat power. Cannons, elite troops, angels, and Carl himself commanded it. At the boss of the Blood Flag, he killed this dangerous vampire in one fell swoop.

"But, Archbishop, this is too dangerous." Perrin hesitated for a while, but finally said it. "And, I don't think this risk is worth taking."

"Oh?" Carl raised his brow. His carefully conceived plan was opposed by Perrin, which made him slightly unhappy. But he could finally remain calm.

"The last battle proved that with its existing combat power, it was difficult for us to stop the raids of the giant beasts in the Greenskin Army." Perrin replied. "In this way, I am afraid that the gap in the city wall will be broken by Greenskin."

Didn’t he analyze it just now? As long as the vampire who pretends to be the boss of the green skin dies, the green skin will immediately scatter birds and beasts. He abandons the battlefield on one side and concentrates his combat power on the other side. At the cost of sacrificing the secondary battlefield, he will win the victory of the main battlefield...

"If you break through, just break through. At most, let the greens walk around the city for a while." Carl replied.

"But before the defeat of Greenskin, these militias in the city who had little combat power would probably suffer great casualties... and their subordinates believe that even if they pursue vampires, it would be better to go flat on the ground. The bridge environment is actually very beneficial to vampires, because if the battle situation is unfavorable and endangering themselves, the vampires are likely to dive into the water and escape, but it is difficult for us to pursue them."

"No, no, no, my dear leader," Carl shook his head vigorously. "Did you see what's on my hand?"

"This is..." Perrin asked hesitantly. This question has actually been wandering in his mind for a long time.
