Chapter 779: Chapter 510: Review of the Fortress Defense Battle_2
By late noon, the door was knocked again.
This time, the ones appearing at the door were Lord White and a few Coldflame Army commanders.
“Mr. Lane, after successfully repelling the Saint Night Army, the repair of the three fortresses and the treatment of the wounded soldiers are proceeding smoothly!”
With a nod to Leo Ray, Lord White in white armor said excitedly, “Mr. Lane, if you are not busy, please follow me to the Assembly Hall. There are some matters that I need to discuss with you and Her Highness the Princess.”
“Understood, please lead the way, Lord White.”
With a slight nod, Leo Ray followed Lord White out of the room, accompanied by Taylor and Red Night.
Thus, they went down a spacious corridor and descending a flight of stairs. Under Lord White’s guidance, Leo Ray arrived at a well-lit Assembly Hall.
Compared to the large Assembly Hall in the Mountain Fortress, the Assembly Hall in the Forest-side Fortress was significantly smaller, but it was fully equipped with sand table maps and other facilities, making it very military-like.
“I’ve always wanted to have a set of these in the main hall of the Lord’s Mansion. I’ll have Linda prepare them later.”
As Leo Ray thought about it, his gaze shifted to the three figures already waiting in the room – Ariel Watson, Burt, and Joshua.
“You’ve arrived!”
Seeing Leo Ray, the still dressed Ariel Watson, with her hair tied in a ponytail, immediately greeted him and blurted out, “The matter you mentioned before…”
“Now is the time to talk to General White about military matters, let’s talk about it later.”
Leo Ray smiled at Ariel Watson and turned to the elderly general, “General White, you may begin.”
“Very well, Your Highness the Princess, and Your Excellency, please come this way.”
Upon finishing his words, Lord White stepped before the sand table in the middle of the Assembly Hall, taking the command stick handed to him by a middle-aged commander with a bow.
“Your Highness the Princess, Your Excellency, please look at this.”
Lord White first pointed the command stick at the position of one large and two small castle models between a mountain range.
Upon close observation, Leo Ray noticed that the three castle models on the sand table were all in red.
In front of the three castle models were seven convex blue arrows, pointing directly at the direction of the castles.
Among them, two blue convex arrows were right in front of the two small red castle models.
The other five blue convex arrows were divided into two parts, front and back.
The front three were arranged in a triangle, forming a large arrow pointing to the largest red castle in the middle.
The back two were arranged one in front of the other, seemingly in control of the overall situation.
As for the last blue convex arrow, it was on the side and back of a small castle model next to a forest.
Without further explanation, the layout was already quite obvious.
The three red castle models, one large and two small, represented the Coldflame Mountain Fortress and the other two smaller fortresses.
The seven blue convex arrows in front represented the seven legions of the Saint Night Army.
As for the last blue convex arrow, it naturally represented the Disappearing Legion, which tried to attack the Forest-side Fortress from the inside through the mysterious underground tunnel.
“It seems this is the situation of both sides before the battle.”
Seeing this, Leo Ray raised his eyebrows slightly.
“Your Excellency, let us first briefly review the entire process of this Fortress Defense Battle.”Nodding at Leo Ray, Lord White’s command baton first landed on the blue arrowhead at the front of the triangle, directly in front of the largest red castle.
Lord White pushed the blue arrowhead towards the largest red castle, saying, “After the initial counter-strategy, the most elite Saint Night Assault Legion has been practically annihilated by us, and the remaining soldiers have all been captured.”
Then, Lord White gently pushed the baton, knocking the blue arrowhead off the sand table and onto the table.
Afterwards, Lord White pointed the command baton at the other two blue arrowheads forming the latter half of the triangle.
He continued, “Later, thanks to your ingenious plan of luring the enemy with the absolute defense barrier and firing 300 magic cannons simultaneously, these two elite long-range legions have also been completely crippled by us.”
At this point, Lord White moved the two blue arrowheads out of the sand table, saying, “As for the remnants of the two, they retreated in disarray to the rear middle legion and rear guard legion.”
As Lord White spoke, an adjacent Coldflame commander placed two blue soldier models next to the two rear blue arrowheads, representing the retreating remnants.
“After our rapid annihilation of three Saint Night legions, the enemy began launching simultaneous attacks on three fronts to confuse and distract us,” he continued.
Lord White then pushed the two Saint Night Legions that had been in charge of the rear to the front of the Mountain Fortress.
He continued, “Among them, the middle legion and rear guard legion marched to the Mountain Fortress, while the other two legions directly attacked the Forest-side Fortress and the Open Fortress.”
After Lord White finished speaking, he pushed the other two blue arrowheads straight towards the two small red fortresses, creating a crisp crash sound.
“During this process, Mr. Lane personally led his strongest subordinates to the Open Fortress, assaulting and bombarding the enemy’s siege forces, causing their legions to falter. This forced the enemy to use their first trump card, the Griffin Knight Squadron, ahead of schedule.”
At this point, Lord White first pushed a newly taken out orange soldier representing his side towards the direction of the Open Fortress,
Then he instructed the adjacent commander to place a blue Griffin Knight soldier model among the mountain range.
“Seeing the Griffin Knights joining in, the Saint Night soldiers were roused, but their momentum lasted less than three seconds before being defeated by our Wyvern Knight Squad!”
At this moment, Ariel Watson took over and rummaged through the box of various soldier models, pulling out an orange Wyvern Knight model and placing it on the sand table.
Immediately afterward, Ariel picked up another command baton and swept the previously placed Griffin Knight model out of the sand table, knocking it directly into the model box underneath the table.
“As the Princess said, after that, the enemy’s double trump cards were ready. This was their most threatening move.”
With that said, Lord White’s command baton moved again, drawing everyone’s attention to the inconspicuous Forest-side Fortress at the other end.
At this point, next to the blue arrowhead representing the Disappearing Legion, a black assassin soldier model was placed, obviously representing the three powerful Dark Devourer Association members.
“Around the same time as the destruction of this Forest-side Fortress’s armory, the overall formation of the Saint Night Army’s several other legions also changed. First, the remnants of the two long-range legions were sent to the direction of the Open Fortress,” Lord White said as he pushed two blue soldier models next to the middle legion towards the direction of the orange soldier representing their side, the Open Fortress.
He continued, “Meanwhile, the middle legion and rear guard legion in front of the Mountain Fortress joined forces to become a new siege legion, quickly heading towards this Forest-side Fortress.”
As he finished speaking, Lord White moved another blue arrowhead to the side of the Forest-side Fortress.
At this point, three enemy legions and the powerful members of the Dark Devourer Association had gathered around the Forest-side Fortress.
It goes without saying that just by looking at the situation on the sand table, it is clear that the enemy holds an absolute advantage.
“However, even with such powerful trump cards in the enemy’s hand, they were still thwarted by this little orange guy.”
Ariel Watson took over again, pushing the orange soldier model representing their side towards the other Forest-side Fortress.
Then she swept the black assassin model representing the Dark Devourer Association and the blue arrowhead representing the Disappearing Legion into the model box under the sand table, making a crisp crashing sound.
“This little orange guy… Why do I feel like this girl is taking advantage of me?”
Hearing this, Leo Ray couldn’t help but purse his lips.
“Finally, we have come to the most exciting moment of this battle.”
On the other side, Lord White stroked his beard and smiled, continuing to speak.
