Chapter 1317 The So-Called Emperor

"Let's talk about the review. I read the post-war report written by the Royal Guards in detail... things seemed a bit bad."

Oliveira first observed the expressions of the Supreme King and the Emperor, and after finding that there was no difference between them, he said the problem: "Humans and dwarves trust each other's abilities too much... This is a fatal point."

"Is this also a problem?" Kurt spoke on behalf of the emperor, believing that dwarves are the consensus of the empire. Your mother may become a Chaos believer tomorrow and sell you.

But as long as the dwarf brother makes a promise, they will keep it even if it means death.

"Of course this is a problem. Let me use an analogy. When Emperor Karl was attacked by cavalry and goblins, what was his first reaction when he saw the dwarves being delayed by artillery fire?"

Karl put his hands on his chin, his downcast face not responding to Oliveira's question.

Seeing that the emperor did not speak, Oliveira also knew that he must be concerned about face and could not say some words in person.

"If my guess is correct, it must be to support the dwarves and help them successfully resist the artillery attack. As long as the Eternal Guard can let go of its hands and feet, the green-skinned cavalry will no longer be a threat."

This is a compliment to the dwarf, but it does not mean that Oliveira is not prepared to speak out about the dwarf.

"And the dwarves...Agrim, what are your thoughts on letting the war lord join you in the greenskin encirclement, causing the lack of control butchers to carry out suicide attacks."

Agrim hesitated, not knowing what to say for a moment. Of course he knew that fighting alone was a foolish move. If he could stay where he was and lead the butchers to kill the approaching greenskins, it would greatly speed up the dwarves' progress. Advance speed instead of being trapped in the double encirclement of meat grinding and artillery bombardment.

"This has to mention Imrik..."

The Butcher King was prepared to use someone who was not present to absolve himself of responsibility, at least to save his face.

"Phoenix King... he might compete with you to see who can rush faster."

After looking at each other, the two reached a tacit agreement not to elaborate on the matter.

"The dwarves hoped that the empire could continue its past speed, advance quickly to occupy the front, and after converging, gradually launch a general attack on the greenskins. However, in the absence of cavalry, the empire's speed was still slightly insufficient, resulting in the greenskin cavalry overtaking them. Take the initiative.

According to the two major principles of war, your plan is not reasonable to concentrate firepower to the maximum extent to form a comparative advantage in strength and a situation where more people attack fewer people locally, and to minimize the enemy's effective firepower and preserve our effective forces. "

He looked around at the thoughtful crowd and asked in disbelief: "Isn't His Majesty the commander? Didn't he say anything?"

The mention of this matter made Karl and Thor Green blush. The Phoenix King proposed a plan to let the artillery take the lead in order to maximize the firepower advantage before the greenskins could react.

The sparse number of royal guards and the presence of the dragon can effectively cover the slow-moving artillery.

This plan seemed nonsense, because the empire didn't want to risk the fate of expensive artillery on the elves, and the dwarves didn't want to have a firefight with the greenskins when the mountain fortress was right in front of them.

Karl coughed twice. He could now see how much the High King knew about Caledor's military order. Adira had been trying to test it out in the past few days without any valuable conversation.

The Chariot Princess is obviously not prepared to expend more energy in this war. She is more concerned about the interests of the elves than whether Karak Dreadnought survives.

Oliveira is a very pure soldier and doesn't say anything irrelevant.

"Ahem, Mr. Oliveira, your analysis is very reasonable. Can you please listen to me?"

"Sure, please tell me."

Karl looked solemn. After counting the losses, he found that the casualties suffered in the canyon were enough for him to snatch Kronburg from Boris's hands.

For the emperor, life may be a series of numbers, and he needs to think about how to make sacrifices more valuable.

It is impossible to give up the alliance with the dwarves. The only thing that can be done is to increase investment in the war and obtain more favorable conditions at the summit.

"It is important to review the battle situation, but the priority right now is how to lift the siege of Karak Fearless Fort. Now that the canyon leading to the gate of the mountain fort has collapsed, the only thing we can do is attack from other places.

This is not a good choice. The greenskins will inevitably set up ambushes on other roads leading to the mountain fort. Our most important artillery has lost its advantage..."

Equally heavy was Thor Green. He racked his brains to find some people who could be used, but even the Desolate Fort and the Horn Fort, which were closest to Karak Dreadnaught, took a lot of time to assemble. Moreover, these two The scale of the mountain fort is not much larger than that of the Dauntless Fortress, so it is difficult to really decide the situation of the battle.

If we lose our artillery advantage and fall into complex mountain battles, it means that humans are likely to lose a powerful arm.

The Gray Mountains are no different from the low hills in the empire. There are towering mountains everywhere. Although they are not as high as the World's Edge Mountains, they are still complex and steep enough.

"Mountain combat... This is indeed a problem." Oliveira was a little distressed. If it was Caledo, there would be no need to worry about this. The Dragon's Back Mountains are no lower than the Gray Mountains. Everyone is a mountain man. Who would Afraid of green skin.

But as for humans... they can only pray to Sigma.

After discussing for a long time, the emperor finally made a surprising decision.

"High King, is there a direct road to Karak Dreadnaught?"

"Yes... but it is an extremely long and narrow passage. The goblins can hold on to the hilltop fortress for a year at the intersection."

Karl's expression was decisive, and his angular face was full of perseverance, and he must have made a decision in his heart.

"I will personally lead the Rick Guards to attract the attention of the greenskins, and I will leave the rest to you."

"Are you...serious?" Oliveira has some doubts about this. This is a bit stupid. In my opinion, the best way now is to send elite teams to gradually exert pressure on the inside, and finally lure the greenskins out of the safe area. .

Moreover, in name this was a rescue mission for Karak Dreadnaught, but in reality it was to eliminate the greenskins. Just successfully entering the mountain fortress did not actually help much in the battle.

Karl sighed: "I also know that this plan is too stupid, but if Karak Dreadnaught falls, the hinterland of Reikland will become defenseless. My duty as the emperor, as well as the ancient alliance between races, will It requires me to make some necessary decisions.”

Thorgreen nodded calmly. Regardless of whether Karl's words came from his heart or not, as long as he really dared to lead the charge, the High King would recognize him as a qualified emperor. (End of chapter)
