Chapter 1345 Current Deployment
"Everyone, now that we have decided on the next course of action, let's continue to refine some defensive measures."
Seeing that the atmosphere in the command hall had improved, Lei Xiao stood up from his seat and walked towards the magic sand table while speaking.
Hearing the sound, everyone followed without any slackness.
As we all know, the fluorescent rift spans the entire plate and the defense line is extremely long.
Even though the dwarves had built more than a dozen fortresses of various sizes on our side, and soldiers had already moved in one after another, it was undoubtedly a drop in the bucket for such a narrow strip of land.
After all, in terms of length, it is equivalent to from the Grimm Kingdom on the west side of the human territory to the Canglan Federation on the other side. There are probably hundreds or even thousands of cities and villages in the straight-line distance alone.
"Your Majesty the Dwarf Elf, please first introduce the situation of these fortresses."
Lei Xiao handed the baton to Broy, indicating that he should speak first.
"I understand. Please take a look."
Broy stood on a special bench and pointed his baton to the south of a giant crack on the magic sand table, which was a miniature of the fluorescent rift.
"I believe you all have realized that for such a long defense line, even if there are hundreds of fortresses, let alone a dozen, the effect they can have is extremely limited."
Broy's baton slowly moved around the edge of the giant valley on our side of the magic sand table, and he continued, "Back then, the ancestors of the dwarves had realized this problem, so our fortresses were built at the most important passes, which are also the places where the enemy is most likely to march."
Broy said this, and finally pointed his baton to a small square in the west, which was one of the dwarf fortresses, and the voice rang out again.
"For example, the area where this Watcher Castle is located is one of the narrowest sections in the entire Great Valley. If the enemy wants to cross from this area, this is undoubtedly the best choice."
"Besides, there are many mountains here, and there is only one pass on our side that can be quickly passed, and that is where the Watcher's Castle is..."
Listening to the dwarf elf king's detailed description, Lei Xiao's eyes wandered back and forth on both sides of the giant valley, and he nodded thoughtfully.
Just as the other party said, there are a total of eighteen fortresses built by the dwarves. Each one is indeed very well organized, taking into full consideration the surrounding terrain and topography. Some are built on the pass, while others are built along the river.
There is even one that stands directly on the top of a gentle mountain, equipped with a large number of attack magic towers that can guard multiple important roads in the surrounding area at the same time.
It can be seen from this that although the number of dwarf fortresses is relatively limited and they are mainly distributed in the western and central sections of the Giant Valley where the dwarfs' sphere of influence is located, they can indeed play a defensive and vigilant role to the greatest extent, which will greatly consolidate our defense line.
As everyone thought of this, the tense atmosphere in the command hall eased a little.
"The wisdom of the dwarves is admirable."
After listening carefully to Broy's description, Shult's wooden face showed praise, and then he shook his head and said, "It's a pity that the tree people relied on the natural barrier of the vast forest and did not build any fortresses in the giant valley, otherwise our defense lines could be connected."
"That's right. We wood fairies are the same. The secret place of the peak forest is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and we have not considered these matters."
Christie lowered her eyebrows and nodded.
Listening to everyone's words, Lei Xiao frowned and looked thoughtful.
At this stage, with the resources and building blueprints at one's disposal, it is not a difficult task to quickly build ten or even a hundred large fortresses.
But the problem is that the fortress was built in a hurry and did not have corresponding supporting measures such as defensive magic arrays. Even the magic tower built according to the architectural blueprint needed to be laid with specific types of magic arrays and could not be put into use immediately. This is what requires manpower and time, and it is by no means an overnight job.
These newly built fortresses might be able to play a considerable role if they were deployed in the human territory, but facing the powerful foreign forces, they are undoubtedly stretched to their limits.
In other words, instead of temporarily building a fortress that greatly consumes and disperses our manpower and material resources, it would be more efficient to integrate the current resources to the maximum extent.
Thinking of this in his heart, Lei Xiao immediately said: "Everyone, now is not the time to reminisce about the past."
"His Majesty the Dwarf Elf just said that even if we have a hundred fortresses with complete facilities, they cannot be impregnable. So we just need to focus on the present. Don't forget that we still have this Ice Stone City that can appear anywhere at any time."
"In addition to this, our old friend the Administrator can also use the Shadow Market to monitor the movements of our opponents for us. This will be a second layer of insurance."
After hearing Lei Xiao's words, everyone felt much more at ease and breathed a sigh of relief.
After that, Lei Xiao confirmed the current troop deployment situation in major fortresses.
Among these eighteen fortresses, the smallest number of tree people stationed in three, with a total of one fourth-level legion and two third-level legions deployed. This is all the manpower of the tree people after the Battle of Dragon's Lair.
The wood elves stationed in six cities, deploying a total of 10 third-level legions.
The host dwarf elves occupied the last nine castles, deploying a total of 10 third-level legions and 5 quasi-third-level legions. Of course, the combat power of the dwarf elves mainly refers to the alchemical puppets equipped by each legion.
As for the human army commanded by Lei Xiao, it was naturally a carefully selected million-strong army and 30 original legions of Ice Stone City, all stationed in Ice Stone City as a mobile force.
Due to the current limited strength of the human race, all the strong men above level three add up to less than 15 legions, and there are only two magician legions that are truly organized level three legions.
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, the dwarf elves still have a large number of damaged alchemical puppets that have not yet been repaired. Especially in the previous battle in the Dragon's Lair, the alchemical puppets above the fourth level were severely damaged. Otherwise, the combat power that can be brought out is definitely more than this."
Broy sighed helplessly, then said excitedly: "However, fortunately, His Majesty the Human Race provided a large amount of necessary materials to repair the alchemical puppets. It is only a matter of time to repair them. As for the other injured soldiers, with the timely treatment of the large amount of magic potions and magic scrolls provided by His Majesty the Human Race, they will soon be able to recover their combat effectiveness."
After Broy finished speaking, Shulter and Chris also nodded. Fortunately, Lei Xiao provided a large number of magic scrolls and potions, otherwise the casualties in the battle of the Dragon's Lair would have been even greater.
"This is the result of everyone's joint efforts. I hope we can still successfully overcome this possible crisis."
Lei Xiao smiled slightly at first, then brought the topic back to the present and continued, "As for what we can do, in addition to reactivating these fortresses, there is another extremely important thing."
