Early the next morning, Shen Yun was studying the map carefully in his room when he suddenly received a notification from a soldier that supplies from the empire had arrived. Reptanton asked Shen Yun to accept it.
As the soldiers who reported the news came to the city gate, Shen Yun saw the fat figure in the team at a glance. Huck was sitting on a stone at the city gate, breathing heavily, with big beads of sweat falling from his cheeks. It was dripping continuously and looked a little embarrassed. There was a tall thunder beast next to him. At this time, its back was stretched and its tongue was sticking out, looking miserable and overwhelmed.
Shen Yun grinned and almost laughed. Instead of going to greet Huck directly, Shen Yun first went to hand over the supplies to the officer leading the team according to the procedure, and then asked the soldiers to take the soldiers responsible for escorting them down to rest. Now that the war is imminent, although these soldiers escorting the supplies do not have any combat personnel, they are still a force. Reptanton cannot let them go.
After arranging all the trivial matters, more than half an hour had passed. Shen Yun took a breath and suddenly felt someone coming from behind. He turned around and saw that it was Hacker. The huge size occupied Shen Yun's body. With everyone in sight, Chen Yun slapped him without even thinking.
"Oh...Brother Yun! Is this how you treat the friendly forces who came to support you?" With Huck's stretched out hand, there was no way he could avoid Chen Yun's slap. This time he was slapped, making him grin. started to complain.
"This is how we greet each other in the army!" Shen Yun grinned, suddenly stepped forward and gave Huck a manly hug, patted his back hard and whispered: "Welcome! And... thank you!"
"Why are you so polite? Our research has been of great use for the first time. How could I not come and see for myself." Huck also grinned, looking really happy and without any reluctance.
It is not that there are auxiliary professions such as alchemists and blacksmiths in frontline military camps, but they are lower-level combat workers. Their daily job is to help some officers and combat workers repair weapons and props. And like Elite students like Huck, who are accepted as disciples by famous alchemists, usually do not go to the front line. However, only Huck knows the props to be used this time. Shen Yun had no choice but to ask Reptanton to specialize. After recruiting him, it seems that his behavior did not arouse Huck's resentment.
Shaking his head to get rid of the little thoughts in his mind, Shen Yun smiled at Huck and said, "You guys are here quite early. Come with me to meet the marshal first. I don't know how far you have studied the magic crystal bomb. It just so happens that you Tell us about it together!”
"Brother Yun, you don't know, Fatty, I have made a major breakthrough during the time you were gone!" When he mentioned research, Huck's eyebrows suddenly lit up, and he couldn't hide the smugness in his eyes and said: "I have already We have studied the best arrangement of each series of magic crystal powders..."
"Stop it, let's talk about it later to save you the trouble of saying it again." Shen Yun laughed, dragging Huck towards the city lord's mansion, but Huck didn't care whether Shen Yun wanted to hear it or not, he still muttered about himself. The progress. The two of them were laughing and joking, which actually made many soldiers with low morale around them look over.
City Lord's Mansion. Temporary War Room.
Reptanton still stood in front of the magic image, listening quietly to Huck's explanation of the power of the magic crystal bomb and how to use it. Although his expression remained unchanged, his two eyebrows couldn't help trembling, and he was obviously a little excited.
"Actually... we have always had similar props on the front line. But they are all used as suicide attacks, and the power is not as powerful as you said..." Reptanton looked directly at Hacker and said in a deep voice. Said: "Are you sure that the magic crystal bomb you are talking about can have such power? And it can also explode at any time according to your wishes?"
Shen Yun, whom Reptanton said, also knew that in fact, the Infinite Avengers had used this kind of prop in the last Holy War. It was indeed as Reptanton said. It was a crude, dangerous and highly utilized item. Generally speaking, no one would choose to use these props unless they were in a desperate situation.
"This...probably..." Reptanton's momentum was not something that ordinary people could withstand. Huck was a little flustered by Reptanton's stare. He subconsciously shrank his neck.
"Ahem, yes it is, no it is no, there is no general idea." Seeing Reptanton's expression of dissatisfaction, Shen Yun immediately threw a color to Huck and said encouragingly: "The magic crystal bomb is right for you. Its power is the most critical part of our plan, so you can say whatever you can determine. If it is vague, it may make it impossible for the marshal to grasp its effect."
"Yes, yes! Marshal, I am sure that my magic crystal bomb can achieve the power just mentioned, and as long as it is properly arranged, I can also control its explosion time!"
"Well, not bad..." Reptanton's expression relaxed a little, and then he turned to Shen Yun and asked, "Have you thought about the specific implementation plan?"
"I have an idea, and I'm about to discuss it with the marshal." Shen Yun nodded, then pointed at the magic image in front of him and said: "According to the information fed back by the scouts, the army of dark creatures will chase them near Qingyuan City tomorrow. And Behind the line of Qingyuan City is a large area of towns and plains. If the dark creatures are allowed to spread there, we will no longer be able to capture them all. At the same time, this will also cause the empire to suffer unbearable trauma. Also That is to say, our final blocking location must be before Qingyuan City."
"I have thought carefully about it these past few days, and now I have two plans for everyone's reference." Shen Yun cleared his throat and continued: "First, we use Qingyuan City as bait to kill the main force of dark creatures - the main force. It was the thousands of thin monkeys that attracted them and then detonated the magic crystal bombs prepared in advance. Because of the confinement of Qingyuan City, the attack range of this method is relatively stable, but..." After saying "but", Shen Yun suddenly opened his mouth. I opened my mouth, not knowing what to say.
"But the soldiers who serve as bait will be sacrificed, right?" Reptanton's voice was light, and there was no emotion or anger on his face.
"Yes……"
"Soldiers are not afraid of sacrifice, but you should understand that if the dark creatures are to invest the main force, the troops responsible for serving as bait need to be quite strong. Otherwise, if only tens of thousands of dark creatures can defeat them, how can they Send the Slender Monkey?" Reptanton slowly shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Unless all their high-level warriors can be wiped out with one blow. Otherwise, the empire cannot afford such a loss. Let's talk about the second one first. A plan.”
"Yes... the second plan is to set up an ambush on their way. Although the large number of magic crystal piles will make the elements there appear a bit abnormal, we only need to let two 11th-level mages release a few magics in front of them. It should be able to cover up the impact of the magic crystal."
"Judging from the environment around us, there are three routes that dark creatures can choose to attack Qingyuan City. They may even choose not to attack Qingyuan City and instead attack other towns first!" Reptanton frowned. He stood up, pointed at Huck with a finger and said: "He just said that if he wants to maximize the power of those props, he will need at least twenty minutes to arrange them! Whether it is arranging mages or arranging props, it takes Time, but if we wait for the scouts to come back and report the news before we go over, we will have to run into the enemy halfway. Have you not thought of these problems?!"
Reptanton's tone was a little harsh, and he felt that he was disappointed. As a newcomer without much experience, he could tolerate Shen Yun's inability to formulate a thorough and detailed plan. However, he did not see such an obvious danger, and even Bringing this kind of defective product to a marshal like himself for discussion openly is a matter of attitude! This shows that Shen Yun didn't think about it seriously at all. To put it more seriously, he didn't take this war to heart at all!
"The marshal is right, but what if we can solve this problem?" Shen Yun smiled slightly, not at all frightened by Reptanton's irritation: "Dark creatures move very fast, and we don't think we can set up an ambush in advance. , the other party must have thought so too. And after being in contact with each other these days, I always have a feeling that the fallen angels don’t really care about the life and death of those dark creatures, I am afraid that their vigilance will be even lower. So, if we can advance one hour... …No. If you know which way the other party will take even a few hours ago, can you give them a surprise?"
"Do you have a way to know the other party's movements in advance?" Reptanton was overjoyed, and then shook his head and said: "No. Even if I go in person, it is impossible to send the news back so quickly. If there are enough sound transmission props, You can give it a try, but unfortunately I only have one set."
The sound propagation prop was used by Reptanton to give orders to the mage group in the previous battle. This prop is extremely difficult to make, and there are only three sets in the entire Blue Water. In addition to Reptanton's set, the Royal Palace and the Royal Guards The military also has its own set of rules.
"No need to bother, I have a small prop that allows me to see the surrounding environment within a certain period of time. So, as long as I insert such props on the roads they may pass by, I can easily know the movements of those dark creatures. "Chen Yun said with a smile.
Shen Yun also didn't expect that those little things that he had thrown into the corner and thought they would never be of use would actually have a chance to appear. Speaking of which, those things were the first props he had obtained in a real sense.
Scouting Guard:
Use: Place an invisible reconnaissance guard (cannot be turned back) for 3 days
After Shen Yun took out these totem-like reconnaissance guards, Reptanton immediately asked Shen Yun to test them. He asked Shen Yun to insert a reconnaissance guard at the door of the city lord's mansion, and then called ten soldiers Let them come in through the door respectively. When Shen Yun accurately stated the order of entry and exit of these soldiers in the hall, Reptanton's eyes gradually lit up.
"What a good thing! What a good thing!" Reptanton took a piece of reconnaissance guard and looked through it repeatedly, exclaiming in admiration: "If it can be distributed to the legion on a large scale, then our combat will be much easier." Lei Putantun was telling the truth. If this kind of reconnaissance guards could really fill the battlefield, he could easily find the location of the enemy's main force or even the commander, and then let the mage group directly focus their fire to blast over.
"This... this thing can only be used by me. Even if others plug it into the ground, they can't see anything..." Shen Yun scratched his face in embarrassment. He knew that this situation was too special and weird, and it would inevitably make people suspicious. .
I originally thought that the other party would ask a few questions about this. Unexpectedly, Reptanton just glanced at him and went back to look at the reconnaissance guards. He said lightly: "As long as I can win this war, I don't care about anything else!"
Chen Yun was stunned for a moment, then bowed slightly and said nothing more.
The plan had been discussed, and all that was left was to implement it. While the dark creatures were still far away, Shen Yun took Huck and a few soldiers to carefully explore the surroundings. Shen Yun was on several roads where the dark creatures might pass. After inserting a reconnaissance guard, and after predicting the time it would take for him to get to the target location after getting the news, Huck also selected a few points as preparation points for deploying magic bombs.
Reptanton was dispatching troops and generals in Qingyuan City to prepare for what was likely to be a decisive battle for the Blue Water Empire. But at this moment, he received a notification from the messenger.
"Reinforcements from other forces have arrived? Huh, what's the use of coming now!" Reptanton sneered, with a very unswerving expression on his face. But after thinking about it, he still waved his hand and said: "Forget it, since When they come, they must be of some use. Let them be responsible for the pursuit mission together with the warrior legion! Let the generals they lead come to see me, I have something to say to them."
"Yes!" The ordering soldier took the order and left.
…
The next day, the temporary war room of the Qingyuan City Lord's Mansion.
Shen Yun was sitting on a chair next to him with his eyes closed. There were nearly twenty screen-like small squares flashing in front of his eyes. The images in each small square were different. Shen Yun Now take a look at these pictures and pay attention to every change in them.
A dozen high-ranking officers were walking back and forth anxiously in front of him. Huck sat next to him, constantly taking out a handkerchief to wipe his sweat. Although Reptanton looked calm and calm, his eyes would glance at him from time to time. On Shen Yun.
Suddenly, Chen Yun opened his eyes, and everyone's eyes suddenly focused on his face. Shen Yun smiled faintly.
