Chapter 729: Chapter 486: Deployment of the Fortress Defense Battle_2

“General White, rest assured, the two of us will do our best.”

On the other side, Burt and Joshua stepped forward simultaneously and spoke in unison.

“With the support of the two Kingdom generals, my confidence is greatly enhanced.”

General White’s wrinkled face was full of confidence.

Immediately after, he looked at Leo Ray and continued, “Your Excellency, regarding the most important third point of our plan, please do not hesitate to advise.”

Facing Leo Ray, who had the loyalty of two Tier 5 powerhouses, General White naturally would not dare to be the slightest bit negligent.

“General White is too kind. I cannot give advice, but merely offer some humble opinions. If there are any inadequacies, please correct me in time.”

With a slight smile, Leo Ray picked up the slender command rod and pointed it at five locations on the giant sand table in front of him.

They were, in order: the Urne City of the Mountain Fortress, the two small fortresses on the left and right of the mountain waist, the giant depression in front of the Mountain Fortress, and the Holy Night Legion’s main camp nestled in the distant mountain range.

“Firstly, the role of the Urne City of the fortress is naturally the first step in our plan: to let in the first batch of the Holy Night Army attempting to take it over, and then catch them.”

Placing the command rod back on Urne City at the front of the fortress, Leo Ray said, “If I’m not mistaken, the first Holy Night Army group to enter the fortress should be an elite Royal Army Corps.”

“You’re right. According to the enemy’s plan, only this way can they stabilize the situation within the fortress as soon as possible.”

Hearing this, General White nodded in approval, “As long as we can quickly destroy this elite army, it will undoubtedly be a heavy blow to the Holy Night Army.”

At this point, General White stroked his grizzled beard and confidently smiled, “Closing the gate to fight, it’s not difficult for my soldiers, and they will make the enemy run away in embarrassment.”

“In this case, the enemy will be left with two elite legions and five mixed legions.”

With a slight smile, Leo Ray pointed the command rod at the two fortresses and continued to analyze, “And in order to prevent reinforcements from the two fortresses on the mountain waist, the enemy will at least split two mixed legions to guard the flanks of their main force.

From this, the second step of our plan is for the two small fortresses to remain motionless during the early and middle stages of the battle, mainly to distract the Holy Night Army and reduce the pressure on the Mountain Fortress.”

“A very reasonable arrangement. In the later stage, when the enemy’s momentum is no longer there, and the military’s heart is unstable, we can take advantage of the terrain to launch an attack and deliver a heavy blow to the Holy Night Army.”

General White nodded thoughtfully, adding.

“In this case, the main enemies we will face are two elite legions and three mixed legions.”

Immediately after, Leo Ray moved the command rod again to point at the natural depression in front of the fortress and continued, “And this special depression will undoubtedly separate the five legions even further.”

“You are correct, Excellency. According to Red Devil’s cautious nature, he would never deploy his army in such an unfavorable terrain as this depression.”

Looking at the depression on the sand table, which could accommodate the size of a legion in front of the fortress, General White nodded slightly, “If I may guess, Red Devil should divide the remaining five legions into the vanguard, central, and rear forces.”

“If that’s the case, the third step of our plan would naturally be to attack the enemy’s vanguard with full force from a high position.”

Nodding slightly, Leo Ray continued, “Because of the depression, the vanguard will inevitably be separated from the central and rear forces, which is a perfect opportunity to concentrate our forces for annihilation.”

“But…”

At this point, a middle-aged commander next to General White hesitated and said, “The enemy’s vanguard must have assembled the most elite long-range striking force and support from small defensive magic arrays.

Even though we have the advantages of high ground, large buffer magic arrays, and fortress magic cannons, our firepower is clearly inferior and can at best draw even with the enemy. Total annihilation seems impossible.”

“That’s right. Within the fortress occupation force, there is only one mage brigade and two archer brigades. The Tier 2 elite units each have two middle teams.”

General White nodded helplessly, the wrinkles on his face seeming to deepen, “In addition, the front city wall of the fortress has limited capacity to accommodate troops, and there’s room for only one heavy infantry brigade to resist arrows.”

After a pause, General White continued, “Yet between the fortress city wall and the depression in front, at least two enemy legions could be accommodated, meaning that apart from the basic defensive forces, The enemy’s long-range power will be at least between nine and twelve battalions, three or four times ours, and among them, elite mages capable of using powerful long-range magic will not be a few…”

“I see, so all we need to do is solve the firepower insufficiency problem, right?”

With a slight raise of his eyebrows, Leo Ray smiled faintly.

“Does Your Excellency have a solution?”

At these words, Lord White and the two other middle-aged Coldflame Commanders’ eyes brightened, and they all looked over together.

“General White, may I ask how many Magic Cannons are there in the fortress?”

Leo Ray gestured for the three of them not to worry and continued with a smile.

“There are a total of 20 Magic Cannons of various types, including 10 Tier 2 and 10 Tier 1.”

Shaking his head helplessly, Lord White said, “Originally, there were another 30 in the warehouse as a trump card, but when I checked just now, they had already been secretly removed by that August Montgomery.”

With that said, Lord White couldn’t help but sigh lightly.

It is worth knowing that the cost of making a Magic Cannon is extremely high mainly because the materials required are too scarce.

A single Tier 1 Magic Cannon made of good-quality materials can easily cost a six-digit amount of Gold Dragons, while a Tier 2 Magic Cannon exceeds seven digits.

As such, the loss of 30 Magic Cannons is undoubtedly a huge loss.

“I see.”

Looking at Lord White’s regretful expression, Leo Ray made a shocking statement: “What if I can provide three to four hundred Tier 2 Magic Cannons?”

Through this morning’s upgrade and previous accumulation, Leo Ray still had 440 Tier 2 Fire Magic Cannons, 75 Tier 2 Space Magic Cannons, and 6 Tier 3 Fire Magic Cannons, even though he had already deployed 200 Tier 2 Fire Magic Cannons within his territory.

Therefore, it was no problem for him to bring these out.

“What?!”

Upon hearing this, not only Lord White and the two Coldflame Army Commanders, but even Princess Ariel, Burt, and Joshua, who had never been to the territory, showed an expression of disbelief.

One should know that such a large number would probably only be available to the royal family or several top aristocratic families working together!

“No wonder he has the allegiance of two Tier 5 powerhouses.”

At this moment, Lord White’s heart was filled with a myriad of thoughts as his heart stirred with waves of turmoil.

Fortunately, the indifferent young man in front of him was one of theirs, brought in by Princess Ariel; otherwise, this mountain fortress would have changed hands long ago.

Seeing everyone’s astonished expressions, Leo Ray added, “Of course, I will also provide a corresponding number of Demon Energy Luminous Crystals to power the Magic Cannons so that we don’t have to waste any of our existing magical power.”

At this, everyone’s astonished expressions quickly turned into uncontainable joy.

It goes without saying that with such a heavy firepower cluster, the long-range offensive power of both sides would undoubtedly undergo a complete reversal!

And as Leo Ray said, annihilating the two Holy Night Legions before the depression would no longer be a dream!

“With this, all we have to face is the enemy’s remaining three legions.”

Looking at the excited people in front of him, Leo Ray smiled slightly and moved his command-rod to the other side of the giant sand table, on the location of the Saint Night Army’s main base.
