Chapter 338 Misunderstandings in Thinking
Kyle looked at the pothole and estimated in his mind that it was six kilometers in diameter. If he used [Glory of Light] with all his strength, he should be able to catch up to one-tenth of the power of the strategic magic [Fire Storm].
"What are you thinking about? You are so absorbed." Weilin pushed Kyle and asked curiously.
"My lord, my subordinates are a little confused. This is not the main battlefield. Why would the 128th Legion waste magic power here?" Kyle replied calmly.
Weilin shook his head. He only knew that this was done by the 128th Legion. As for why he did it, he didn't know.
He is from the 27th Corps. For the main corps like the 26th Corps, he only knows which legion is the Magic Legion and which legion is the Knights Legion. He does not know any other information.
"Send an order to Viscount Mengsk and ask him to send troops into the mountain to investigate the situation."
"Other troops, camp on the spot."
"Yes, my lord."
The herald wrote the order and turned to leave.
It is conceivable that before this place was burned down on a large scale, the scenery was pleasant, and with the wild beasts and magical beasts living in the grotto hills, it must have been a good hunting place.
With a little development, it will become a famous tourist spot far and wide.
Unfortunately, according to the dwarves' thinking, only mines and pits are the most beautiful and comfortable places in their eyes.
"This war is over. I want to go to Ash Magic Kingdom and visit the Demon Saint City. Are you willing to go with me?"
"My subordinate is willing." Kyle answered without hesitation without thinking too much.
"Hahaha, it's a deal. This is the only magical city in the Sipunas subcontinent. I'm really looking forward to it."
In addition, Weilin also had another purpose, which was to take the silver dragon Aljeta with him to discuss business in the silver dragon Berk Kingdom.
With the existence of the master Odor, it should be possible to build a long-distance teleportation array.
If it doesn't work out, I'll bring in my family and grandpa, believing that they won't refuse this tempting offer.
However, how long this war will last is still unknown.
……
Thirty kilometers away from the Grotto Hills, in an underground tunnel, a high-level golden dwarf, three intermediate-level golden dwarves, and four low-level golden dwarves gathered together to fight against the newly arrived human army and discuss countermeasures.
The composition of this dwarf resistance army is very complex. There are defeated troops from the kingdom's army, troops from the fleeing nobles, and a group of dwarf adventurers and mercenaries. They finally unite together for a common purpose.
Although the dwarf rebels hiding in the grotto hills are not large in number, only about 20,000 people, they are all very elite. After all, the weak ones have died on the battlefield.
"General Medile, according to our spies' investigation, the number of human troops coming this time is no less than 50,000." A dwarf nobleman looked at the middle-aged dwarf on the throne and reported in a deep voice.
"The human army last time could not do anything to us and could only burn the Grotto Hills." The dwarf general Medil looked around and said loudly, "This is the home ground of our dwarves. As long as we unite as one and under the protection of the dwarf mountain god, we We will definitely persevere until the final victory.”
Encouraged by the dwarf general Madil, several wavering gold-level dwarves gave up the idea of escape.
Looking at the micro-expressions of several people, Medile also breathed a sigh of relief.
The composition of this 20,000-strong army is too complex. Although he has temporarily obtained the command of this army as the deputy commander of the 30th Dwarf Legion, the actual army he can command is only 3,000 dwarves. With this group of people, he really couldn't command the dwarf army.
For three consecutive days, in addition to sending out troops for reconnaissance, Weilin read the information left by the 138th Legion of the 28th Corps and studied tactics.
It's not that the 138th Army did not do well, but that troops were needed on the front line, so the Sixth Command waved its hand and transferred the 138th Army to the front line, and the task of encircling and suppressing the dwarf resistance in Grotto Hills was It fell on the head of the 135th Legion.
"The stone hills and hills are more than 5,000 square kilometers. It is impossible to encircle such a large area."
"Even if the ground is surrounded, there is nothing we can do underground."
Weilin rubbed his temples and couldn't think of any way to eliminate the dwarf resistance in the Grotto Hills.
Seeing this, Kyle reminded in a low voice: "My lord, the original order of the Corps was to "clear out the dwarf rebels hiding in the ore tunnels and ensure the smooth flow of material supply channels." The most important thing is to ensure the smooth transportation of materials and supplies. We It is absolutely possible to send troops to guard important areas and blockade the Grotto Hills from the ground."
"Even though there are tunnels connecting the periphery, the ability to transport troops is insufficient. As long as we delimit the area, arrange for troops to patrol continuously, and at the same time send additional troops to escort the logistics troops through, we are not afraid of any waves caused by this group of dwarves."
"Correct."
Verin slapped his head. He had fallen into a misunderstanding. He wanted to rush for quick results and annihilate the dwarf resistance in the Grotto Hills, completely forgetting that their ultimate goal was to keep supplies flowing smoothly.
"Without you, I'm afraid I would still be thinking about how to force these dwarves to come forward."
"Invite Viscount Mengsk and the others over. It's time to take action."
"Yes, my lord."
Kyle bowed and bowed, exiting the tent.
Half an hour later, the eight viscounts rushed to the central camp.
After seeing everyone present, Verin asked Kyle to spread out the map and start the meeting.
"The hilly terrain of the grottoes is complicated, and underground passages extend in all directions. If you send troops in hastily, you will encounter endless harassment from the other side, and the gains outweigh the losses. Therefore, I decided to blockade the outside and selected elite troops as mobile troops to patrol various areas."
"As for the logistics force, we will send troops to escort them. As long as we leave the Grotto Hills, we will have completed our mission."
"What do you think?"
The eight viscounts looked at each other, a little confused about Weilin's proposal, but they chose to believe it.
In the Battle of Dwarf Stone Pass, under the command of Verin, each of them benefited greatly.
This time, they believed that under the leadership of the legion commander, they could still complete the tasks assigned to them by the legion.
"I have no objection."
Everyone answered in unison, as if they had discussed it.
Then came the division of defense zones.
Weilin divided the periphery of the Grotto Hills into three areas, and garrisoned each area with two battalions.
His own Praying Star Battalion, plus one battalion each in the hands of Muncas and Alcott, totaling more than 14,000 people, formed a mobile force to extinguish the small dwarf army that suddenly appeared at any time.
The remaining three battalions, about 13,500 men, were responsible for serving as escorts for the logistics troops and escorting them through the grotto hilly area.
