Warhammer: Return of the Dragon

Chapter 604 Arkhan, or Bald Man?
Facing the imperial knights who were belatedly arriving, Davian said something strangely:

"If you spend the time you spend in prayer thinking about tactics, Caledo will not come to the old world again and again."

"If you face an environment more dangerous than the empire, you will not spend less time praying than us." Higgsmian also sneered at Davian. He was not happy with the elves' arrogance in Altdorf.

There have been a lot of frictions along the way. Just waiting for the right time to resolve these problems, Riot is the best guarantee of any victory.

"That's enough! If you want to fight, you can resolve it later. I don't object to dueling ceremonies between elves and humans, but this is not the time to discuss personal grudges."

Facing the somewhat angry face of the prince, Davian raised his thumb and scratched his neck, an extremely obvious provocation.

Compared with the stubborn conflict with the native elves, the young Elvis nodded to Vincent. He had a good sense of the silver hammer, and some methods of handling emergency situations were worth learning from.

Seeing that Ku Gar, who disliked meetings the most, was also present. Imrik briefly explained the mission.
"It's still the same tactical deployment as before, but the flanks need special reinforcement. The night goblins in Red Eye Mountain have already come out in full force, which will bring some changes to this war."

Ku Jia, who was in charge of the left wing, had no trouble. Even if there was no Slann Lord sitting in charge, it only meant that the magic of the enemy and ours had reached the same level. There was no way to quickly eliminate large groups of enemies, and they could only fall into a meat-crushing battle.

But meat grinding combat is the strength of the lizard people. Even the greenskins, who are considered monsters in the eyes of humans, can hardly match the carefully cultivated biological weapons.

The silence as always showed the lizardman lord's determination. Eltharion looked at the map and felt a little unsafe.

Although the lizard man's strength has not been seen in detail, Asul generally has a good opinion of it, but it is a bit difficult for humans to tell. If there is a change in the right wing, problems will inevitably occur.

He pointed to a junction on the map and acted as a staff officer based on his observations over the past few days.
"We have not had contact with the Bear Monastery for a long time. Assuming that the greenskins will attack from the left wing, the right wing will form a breakthrough point. And in the rear, we have not deployed a large number of frontline positions, and the evil moon has concealed the whereabouts of the undead. , it will form a situation of being sandwiched by multiple sides.”

These words angered two groups of people at the same time, the empire on the left and the Patriot Army responsible for reconnaissance.

"What you said makes sense." Imrik couldn't help but nodded. The Watchers were always used to making strategic arrangements based on the worst-case scenario, but their combat style was very radical. They were both cautious and fanatical at the same time in Sons of Morarion. reflected on the body.

"But the influence of the evil moon is an objective fact. If mages are assigned to scout around the battlefield, the spell confrontation with the vampires will be at a disadvantage. Making a choice is a necessary thing. We only need to survive one night, and the war will be solved. .”

These words aroused curiosity, and it seemed that Imrik was holding back.

Elvis, who received the signal from the prince's eyes, took a step forward and explained the specific situation, "The Flame Knight and the Giant Horned Viper have been hiding on the edge of the Usko River. At the right time, they will launch an assault on the vampire mage's position. But this requires our own mage group to draw attention."

"We also have a special operations team located at the foot of the World's Edge Mountains, which will conduct a beheading operation on the Empress. As long as it succeeds, regardless of the outcome of the operation team, victory in this war is already within reach, and the vampires have lost Kislev. legal right to rule."

Elvis explained that he really wanted to complain about one thing, and that was the legal claim caused by the weird enfeoffment system of human society. Even if Katrin turned into a vampire, the claim against Kislev was still valid.

Multi-line combat, and the arrangement under the premise of such a large relative distance, makes people somewhat doubtful whether it is feasible.

This requires aiming at an extremely precise time point, and putting enough pressure on the frontal battlefield to allow the necromancer to focus on the front line and create opportunities for the assault troops.Then the necromancers stationed in Kislev City also need to rush to the front line for support. A battle with 10 people is an extremely long process and may take several days. The time spent on the journey is enough.

Only in this way can we create the most favorable conditions for the decapitation operation and solve all problems at once.

But the premise of all this is, is it feasible?
Knowing what the Imperial people were thinking, Imric slapped the table.

"I don't like any explanation for military operations. Subordinates report the situation to the commander, and then the commander decides how to act. Now, disband."

The elf commander who received the order responded to the order in the most direct way and walked out of the camp to gather troops.

Alexandremont, who stayed to lead the Patriot Army, did not give in too much. He and his men began to organize logistical supplies. Sufficient food was the second lifeline for soldiers. How could a few pieces of bread stuffed with sawdust make people? Stay in top shape.

Seeing that everything was properly arranged, the Imperial Knight felt that he could not speak much. He didn't say much. After spending most of his life in war, he seemed to feel numb to everything.

There were only three people left, Imrik, Masnow, and Eltharion, making the spacious camp seem a little deserted.

Imric glanced at Eltharion, then set his eyes on the map, and said casually, "Where is Lord Belannar? I haven't seen him since I came back."

For Beranal, special attention is needed. Apart from the destructive maniac Iron Wolf, this is the strongest spellcasting unit of the team. A knowledgeable background can also help solve some of the mysterious powers of vampires.

"The teacher is searching for traces of a spell. He seemed to have come into contact with a hostile necromancer some time ago. He is very strong. I think even he is not sure of victory."

Arkhan, or Manfred?

Imrik frowned as he thought about this issue. If Beranar met a Nagash disciple, this evaluation would be considered normal.

But if it is Manfred, it means that there are two top spellcasters on the undead side.

"Is there any clue?"

"The teacher lacks research on necromancy."

That is, there is no clue. After thinking for a long time, Imric turned to Masnow and said, "You need to pay special attention to the movement of the zombie dragon. If it is from the Blood Dragon family, then don't worry about it. Pay attention to Manfred."

But in the blink of an eye, Imrik suddenly vetoed the order, shook his head and said, "No, we still follow the predetermined tactics. You and Elsharion will deal with the air units. I have a hunch that Manfred will keep his eyes on On me."
