How much improvement will the use of new weapons bring to this battle? Ariel is not sure.

But she knew one thing very well, that is, her frontline officers and soldiers could definitely use this new weapon in some creative way.

"Now that we have hot air balloons, we have a certain degree of air combat capabilities. During this discussion, Blue Bay also promised to send troops for support. When will the other side's troops arrive?"

Following Ariel's question, Jelly on the side said: "Soon. The other party said that they will fully support our military operation this time. Although we don't know how credible their promise is. So.

, we must be prepared for the situation where the other party may not take action.”

Ariel nodded, and then looked towards Giant Ocean City on the map again. At this moment, everything in front of her seemed to have turned into a battlefield, and all she needed to do was to take the initiative on this battlefield.

Is Woodpecker Town's status important?

Maybe it will be important.

But will there be any changes on the front line that will cause all decisions to go wrong?

Ariel felt that she needed to make second-hand preparations.

"Margaux, you lead the medical team to be ready to support the front line anytime and anywhere."

Ariel felt that she needed to make second-hand preparations.

"Margaux, you lead the medical team to be ready to support the front line anytime and anywhere."

After hearing Ariel's call, Margaux also stepped forward. The female priest's eyes showed a little worry, but after facing Ariel's call, she did not show too many emotions, but

He nodded silently.

However, such a small emotional change still did not escape Ariel's eyes, and she immediately said: "What's wrong?"

Margo frowned slightly. After thinking for a moment, the female priest finally said: "I don't care how you fight on the front line, and I don't understand. But, President, I am a light element affinity person.

, and all I know now is basically how to treat. During this period, I also talked a lot with many people in the treatment class. I feel that rather than supporting the front line, I would rather stay at the rear."

From the past, Ariel certainly did not expect Margot to take the initiative and fight for the lead. But now, this healer actually proposed to stay in the safe rear? This proposal naturally made many people present.

Everyone feels confused.

"Sister Margot, what do you want to do? Stay behind...for safety?"

Coco asked, her eyes clearly showing some nervousness.

In response, Margaux smiled and said to Ariel here: "President, I know this proposal is a bit strange. I can explain it, but please listen to me."

"Our battle this time is hoping to test the logistics capabilities of those monsters, right? The reason why we want to test their logistics capabilities is to be able to grasp the locations of the various scattered human settlements near Ocean City.

This will lead to a situation where we use our entire force to attack the opponent's local area, and although the overall strength is obviously inferior to the Demon King's army, we can always have an advantage in local battles, right?"

Jelly on the side nodded and said: "That's a good summary, if everything goes smoothly."

Margo continued: "If we can gradually gain advantages around Giant Ocean City, then we will have the ability to continuously weaken the Demon King's army and finally capture Giant Ocean City. After that, we can occupy the large stronghold of Giant Ocean City.

In turn, we will control the entire Haize Province, thereby expanding our territorial advantages on a large scale."

"All of this initially requires a breakthrough in Woodpecker Town. In order to break through this point, we invite the Blue Bay Army to act with us and help each other."

Having said this, Margo breathed a sigh of relief and continued -

"I believe that everyone present has a good idea and is confused as to whether the Blue Bay Army can form a combat capability. In addition, the Blue Bay Army has suffered several defeats before, and it is difficult to predict how their morale will be.

We are not even sure whether they will take the initiative to participate in this battle. We plan to gather with the Blue Bay Army at this point——"

As she spoke, Margo raised the staff of light in her hand and pointed at a location on the map on the edge of Shannan Province——

"This place is still some distance from Woodpecker Town. Generally speaking, it is quite safe. Moreover, this is one of the key passages to Woodpecker Town. Our injured members on the front line should also be withdrawn here for repairs. Similarly,

This is also the meeting point where the Blue Bay Army promised us to come to support."

Ariel thought for a while and said, "Do you want to go to this meeting point? Take the initiative to meet the Blue Bay Army there?"

Margo nodded again and said very seriously: "This is the first point where we have formal contact with the ordinary soldiers of the Blue Bay Army. It can be said that whether the Blue Bay Army wants to escape or attack, everything will start from here.

Click start. So, instead of letting me and my medical team members go to the front line to provide field medical treatment, I feel that treatment in this position will be more effective."

Now, even Coco understood. She clapped her hands and said in a very excited mood: "Sister Margot! Do you want to recruit those soldiers from the Blue Bay Empire? You are really too smart!

I like this idea!"

Ariel fell into deep thought about this.

Indeed, the first time Blue Bay soldiers came into contact with the Mermaid Army's combat troops was the concentration of injuries and illnesses. If they saw many sick and injured soldiers in this place, they would definitely feel great frustration. If we could send someone in at this time It would be a good way to calm down their emotions...

But in this case, can the frontline medical team sustain the pressure?

As if she had seen through Ariel's thoughts, Margaux continued: "I am not the only one in our team who can perform treatment. We have many soldiers who are compatible with natural elements and light elements. Similarly, we also More doctors who can perform surgical treatments are constantly being trained. They are ready anytime, anywhere, just for this moment."

Hearing what Margaux said, Ariel turned her eyes to the faces of other people, looking at the expressions of these generals and guild members, looking for an answer.

It can be seen that some generals are very indifferent to the fact that they still have to unite with the soldiers of the Blue Bay Army. What's more, some generals even think that the soldiers of the old empire cannot become a combat force at all.

However, some generals agree with this and feel that no human being can be abandoned at this time, as every human being has the potential to become a fighting force.

After thinking for a moment, Ariel nodded slightly and said: "I understand, this is indeed a good way. Well, Margaux, I will go with you. I dare not say anything else, but I should still be able to offer condolences to the injured soldiers."

Hearing this, Coco immediately raised her hands and said: "Me, me, me! Since the president sister is going, then I will go too! I will be the bodyguard of the president sister!"

Seeing that other guild members wanted to raise their hands to take on this task, Ariel quickly waved her hand and said: "Then let's arrange it this way. Jie, you are responsible for coordinating the attack on Woodpecker Town, and I am here to organize this large-scale battle. Master, go and greet our guest in person who doesn’t know when or whether he will come.”

As Ariel finished speaking, the main goal of this meeting was finally achieved.

After the meeting ended, and after almost two days of preparation, the battle finally began to slowly begin. And Ariel, with almost two thousand soldiers, began to slowly move towards this gathering place, which was the main passage to the rear. Slowly drove past...

————

The beginning of the Woodpecker Battle actually did not go very smoothly.

According to the tactical arrangement, the mermaid army was supposed to quietly approach Woodpecker Town from the air in a hot air balloon, then drop a large number of elemental cannon shells in mid-air, destroying a large number of them at once before attacking.

However, the newly put into use hot air balloons eventually encountered problems at this critical moment. One of the five sets of hot air balloons suddenly lost control in mid-air and fell from the sky. Not only did the hot air balloon crash, causing casualties, it was even more alarming. Those monsters stationed near Woodpecker Town.

The surprise attack plan failed, which forced the mermaid army to change tactics as soon as possible. Fortunately, the four sets of hot air balloons flying in mid-air were too eye-catching, which also made the Warcraft rush to chase the hot air balloons, and there were many The monsters rushed out of the town and pounced on the crashed hot air balloon.

But changes occurred at this time.

Now that these monsters have come out in full force and begun to disperse to pursue the hot air balloons, the soldiers of the Mermaid Army still stationed on the ground will naturally not be indifferent to this division of troops.

The originally planned action of capturing Woodpecker Town in one fell swoop was immediately changed to a mobile annihilation battle along the Warcraft pursuit route. Through continuous attacks and obstructions, the effective forces of those Warcraft were eliminated one by one.

Perhaps during post-mortem review, it can be found that the crashed hot air balloon in advance may have convinced these Warcraft that this was all the plans of the mermaid army, and the hot air balloons that kept escaping made the commanders of these Warcraft think that there must be someone on the hot air balloon.

A very important secret. The sniper attacks by the Mermaid Army were considered by the commanders of the Demon King Army as these humans desperately trying to prevent the approach of the Demonic Beasts.

For this reason, the annihilation war had a certain effect.

Through constant cutting, encirclement, delay, annihilation, and all kinds of virtual and real ambush, by the time the Warcraft realized that those hot air balloons had completely transformed from an escape at the beginning into a decoy, the battle was already doomed.

It's coming to an end.

It took three days, and all the monsters in Woodpecker Town were wiped out. Those monsters that stayed behind seemed very confused when facing the counterattack of the mermaid army. Although they hurriedly responded to the battle, they still couldn't escape in the end.

Death in battle.

Mixed with luck and misfortune, the first phase of the Woodpecker Campaign ended successfully. The next step was to defend this small town and see what was going on in Giant Ocean City.

That is to say, under such garrison conditions, the wounded soldiers from the previous battle began to be transported to the handover point one after another.

However, no one at this time expected that the battle at this junction would be more dangerous and cruel than the battle in Woodpecker Town...

when----

A crisp bell rang, which was the sound coming from the holy bell.

These bells that emit crisp sounds are hung in front of each tent. Whether people come in or out or the wind occasionally blows by, it will give people a faint sense of peace of mind.

Healing Valley.

The assembly point itself had no name, but the soldiers saw that this was a place for treatment, so it was natural for them to give it a name that would make them feel a little better.

Some people may think that this place is much better than the frontline fighting areas. After all, there is no harsh killing here, and there is no life-and-death battlefield. There is no need to be wary of the attacks of those monsters anytime and anywhere.

But once you are actually in this place and see that almost everyone in front of you is injured or sick, then you may no longer have the idea of ​​​​treating it indifferently.

"Ah ah ah ah ah--------!!!"
