Quadruple split

Three-way encirclement

After Lucius finished speaking, the detailed topographic map was immediately filled with three arrows by Griphook Jinxian, starting from the main peak of Sumir, the location of the Holy Union Expeditionary Force, and the direction from which he had just arrived. Stretching out, the target is the Xuejiuqiu position where everyone is currently located!

As for the goshawk

Well, he didn't make up anything from Lucius's analysis. After all, Mo Tan had sent him the real arrangement in detail two days ago. If there was something, it was him. The way I look at a map now is a bit like a chef looking at a fish on the chopping board - calm and sharp.

"grown ups!"

Griphook took a step forward suddenly and asked Lucius with a horrified expression: "You mean, we have fallen into Sumirfang's trap?!"

Lucius took a breath, narrowed his eyes and nodded: "Although it hasn't reached that point yet, I have to admit that at least so far, the situation has always been under the control of the enemy."

"Subordinates deserve to die"

The pale-faced middle-aged goblin lowered his head sadly, and the fat on his face kept trembling: "If my subordinates hadn't noticed the enemy's conspiracy, they would have led everyone to Snow Dove Hill as soon as possible."

Lucius waved his hand to interrupt him impatiently, and said coldly: "If that were the case, as long as Sumir and the Holy Religion Alliance made a slight detour, you would have been completely wiped out by now. Humph, this is not possible at all. It's just a conspiracy, as long as the red-haired orc is here, even if you can sort out the situation immediately, the best choice is still to escape here."

Griphook breathed a sigh of relief, and then began to shiver again. The reason was very simple. Although Lucius did not seem to blame himself, if things were really as the other party said, then Snow Jiuqiu The current situation is undoubtedly extremely dangerous. If you are not careful, you may be crushed by the enemy's coordinated attack. However, he joined the Whispering Sect for better business and does not really want to be crushed.

"don’t worry."

Lucius sat back on the chair, looked at the fat goblin in front of him who was trembling, and sneered: "I said just now, although the situation is indeed under the control of the enemy, that's not the case. It’s just so far. Although the other party’s arrangement is exquisite, it is not foolproof.”

Griphook immediately became energetic and looked at Lucius with burning eyes: "What do you mean, sir?"

"This game can be broken, but it's not easy to break."

Lucius, who had received all kinds of elite education since he was a child, leaned back calmly on his chair and said slowly while sorting out his thoughts: "You should also have noticed that although the other party has formed a three-way encirclement against us, in other words In other words, it means surrounding three and missing one. The surrounding areas are west, south and east, and the missing area is north.”

Goshawk's eyes narrowed slightly, and he murmured in a low voice: "To the north, over to the Whispering City?"

"That's right, it's over at my place in Rumbling City."

Lucius, whose hearing was comparable to that of Li Lei, I mean Awakening Dragon, nodded slightly, smiled approvingly at the goshawk, and then said solemnly: "In my opinion, they only left the north, partly because they can The combat power mobilized covertly is limited and cannot avoid the surveillance network without attracting our attention. On the other hand, if a team is sent to blockade the north of Snow Dove Hill, once the situation changes, it will be easy to be directly We were flanked by the Whispering City, so we chose to surround three and only one was missing, leaving the north to us."

The quick-thinking Lahuan hammered his hand hard and said in surprise, "If that's the case, then we just need to break out from the north immediately and head towards the Whispering City."

"Everything you can think of."

Lucius interrupted Griphook coldly and hummed: "Do you think the other party will not think of it?"

"this"

Griphook was speechless for a moment, and after a while he said: "But didn't you just say that they can't block the north even if they want to?"

"That's right, they can't do it."

Lucius raised his eyebrows, with a sarcastic curve at the corner of his mouth: "But if it is true as you said, we set foot on the road paved by the other party at the time arranged by the other party, the situation will only become worse. It’s out of control, let’s take the simplest example.”

Lucius paused briefly, and Griphook swallowed nervously.

"Suppose we choose to break out of the encirclement northward and join up with the side of Yayu City, then the other side will definitely let us pass generously, and then follow up calmly and directly block Yayu City."

Lucius raised his eyes slightly and said in a gloomy and cold voice: "At that time, we will lose all the detour space, and we will be completely cut off from the outside world. Even if we will not be at a disadvantage in terms of combat power for the time being, over time we will be at a disadvantage. , being trapped and dead in the city is almost certain, your suggestion is simply to let everyone die!"

When he said the last sentence, Lucius almost yelled at Griphook.

The latter was so shocked by the opponent's aura that he took several steps back and stood there in despair, unable to say a word.

Griphook is not an idiot. Although his strategic attainments are far inferior to those of Lucius, after hearing the above words, he also knew that his idea just now was indeed a bit too naive, so...

【Are you just waiting to die? 】

The worst thoughts come to mind uncontrollably.

However.

"Don't be deceived by the illusion in front of you. We are far from the time when we should consider failure."

As if he could see through Griphook's thoughts, Lucius sternly yelled this sentence, and then folded his arms and said solemnly: "Think about it carefully. Although at first glance, our current situation in Snow Dove Hill is indeed unfavorable, but The three-way encirclement created by the enemy through conspiracy still has flaws, so as long as we don’t take the initiative to step into the trap, who will be uncomfortable in the end doesn’t know.”

Griphook looked up at Lucius in confusion: "Flaw?"

"Yes, a huge flaw."

The latter nodded calmly and grinned: "As far as I know, the Holy Religion joint force stationed on the main peak of Sumir is only about a thousand people at best, and those orcs have been coming to the north for support during this period. Their good guys only have less than 5,000 people, and after you and I join together, Snow Jiuqiu's available combat strength has reached more than 7,000 people, and the average combat strength will never be inferior to the enemy's 7,000. The rest of us, in this case, if they really try to encircle and annihilate us in a short period of time, they will most likely be defeated directly by us!"

Griphook's face looked a little better, but he still asked fearfully: "But, where is the large army of the Holy Religion Alliance in the east?"

"That's a good question, and that's my only concern."

Lucius boasted casually, giving Griphook, the former commander of the support force, some face, and then said softly: "But I personally think that the United Holy Church will not send too many combat forces. The reason is very simple. If they had planned to intervene with all their strength from the beginning, as long as they were willing to pay a certain price, we, whose overall strength is far inferior to those bastards, would have been killed long ago. There would be no need for any conspiracy at all. What was the result? What did they do? ?”

While trying to calm down his emotions, Griphook quickly turned his brain and muttered: "I have read several reports before. They have done almost nothing. Although they have always maintained their aggression, as long as we do not actively attack them Within the warning range, those heretics will not attack us."

"Yes, from the beginning to the end, the support provided by those from the Holy Religion Alliance to Sumir was very limited."

Lucius smiled and directly stated the conclusion in his heart: "They are reluctant to bleed for those orcs who believe in the elemental spirits, so their attitude has always been ambiguous, and the seemingly menacing posture of the other party has further strengthened my opinion. One guess is that since they are still trying their best to play tricks, it also proves that even if the bastards of the Holy Church provide some support, such as sending some people to the main peak of Sumir to assist in defense, they will never be able to go all out to fight with us. Fight to the death.”

Griphook nodded quickly, the more he listened, the happier he became.

"So I think that the Holy Alliance may indeed cooperate with the red-haired orc to attack from the east, but the number of people will never be too large. In this way, even if they can have a slight advantage in strength, it will only be ' It's just an advantage, it's definitely not the kind of victory that can easily deprive us of victory."

Lucius, who finally found an idea during the analysis process, said categorically, and then slammed the table: "Coupled with our home field advantage and position advantage, once the opponent tries to turn 'siege' into 'siege and suppression,' they will They are destined to face strong backlash, so strong that it may even burn them out!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a glimmer of light flashed in the eyes of Griphook and Goshawk.

One touch is exciting, the other touch is also exciting.

"We're not going anywhere. Whether it's a three-way encirclement or a three-way encirclement with one missing, as long as we stick to Snow Dove Hill, it will be enough to give the other side a headache."

Lucius grinned viciously and clenched his fists with fighting spirit: "Of course, my decision is still very likely to be expected by the other party, otherwise the red-haired orc would not have pursued him all the way from Chuixue Peak. You're here, but it doesn't matter. On the contrary, it makes me more sure that their core purpose is to force us to leave Snow Dove Hill. Looking at it on the other hand, if those people really have the courage to start a fight with us here, Instead, the side of Rumbling City can take the opportunity to raid the empty main peak of Sumir and turn the tide of the battle in one fell swoop. By the time the Holy Cult Alliance reacts and is ready to intervene with all its strength, it will be too late."

"Lord Lucius has a wonderful plan."

Griphook, who finally breathed a sigh of relief, immediately began to flatter him and said with a flattering smile: "I admire you!"

And Goshawk suddenly remembered something happy and smiled from ear to ear.

"Adjutant, pass my orders."

Lucius slammed the table and stood up suddenly: "Reinforce the camp, break up the original organization of the support troops, and receive them from the first to fourth battalions. Send a message to the Whispering City. The content is what I just said. Please give me a message." Lord Den, be prepared to attack the main peak of Sumir immediately once the full-scale war breaks out in Snow Dove Hill. In the name of my Lord, Lucius will work hard to contain the enemy for the diocese and delay the return of reinforcements from the Sumir side. In addition, from now on, From now on, Chief Priest La Huan will serve as the deputy commander-in-chief of the army, effective immediately."

Although he knew that the so-called 'deputy commander' was just a false title, Griphook still knelt down on one knee with tears in his eyes and said, "Thank you, Lord Lucius, for your kindness."

Tom Lestrange, who appeared silently at the exit of the handsome tent, nodded lazily and responded absently: "I understand, Commander."

"Goshawk, you have worked hard during this period. Go back and rest first."

Lucius nodded stiffly to his son, then turned to Goshawk and said with a smile: "I allow you to leave the combat organization. You only need to be responsible for the scouting work that I personally assigned. The manpower will be given to you later. Add some more.”

This is an obvious win-over and promotion. After all, they are both scouts. The general scouts who follow the unified dispatch and work alone are completely different concepts from the scout captain who has people under his command.

Goshawk, on the other hand, was not as grateful as Griphook, but nodded his head in a neither humble nor condescending way: "I will live up to your expectations."

"So."

Lucius raised his hand to smooth his long blond hair, frowning and looking at Tom who was still standing at the door: "Why aren't you going?"

"Because since just now, there seems to be something outside that wants to come in."

Tom played with his exquisite 'magic wand' and shrugged at Lucius: "Well, I just discovered that it seems to be the power of Mr. Eden from Whispering City. Wouldn't it be better to put it in?"

Lucius's pupils suddenly shrank: "What did you say?"

"I said, that seems to be the guy from Rumbling City."

"Stop your stupid dark magic barrier!"

This sentence was almost squeezed out by Lucius through his teeth.

"Well, as you wish, Lord Lucius."

Tom responded indifferently, then raised his hand and waved his wand, eliminating the strange and invisible layer of defensive force outside the tent.

next second

A ball of dark green flames suddenly exploded in front of Lucius, and the wrinkled face of Archpriest Eden flashed in the air.

"The Whispering City is under attack, come back quickly!"

After leaving these cold and low words, the communication magic, which was almost completely wiped out by Tom's [Dark Magic Barrier], completely dissipated in an instant, as if it had never appeared.

However, everyone present clearly heard the words just now, that message was too incredible no matter how you thought about it.

Griphook, whose face was glowing just now, froze for a moment, then fell to the ground, his eyes empty as if he had lost his soul.

The goshawk also staggered and looked blankly at the place where the old face disappeared just now.

Tom, who was standing next to the exit of the handsome tent, was relatively calm, but after listening to Lucius's entire analysis, his eyes were also full of confusion and incomprehension.

As for Lucius himself, he was completely frozen on the spot, his mind completely blank with only one sentence playing continuously in a loop——

Rumbling City is attacked! !
