Charlotte changed into her Thorium armor, rode the Swift Bird, and left the mountain fortress with Renault. Victor forced the four dragon maids to sleep in the treasure house to prevent them from always clinging to him. Then, he boarded the mountain alone

On the third floor of the castle, he walked into a study room. While waiting for the vassals to gather, he carefully thought about the action plan for the raid on Ant-Man's lair.

Ant-Man is Victor's first clear and powerful enemy since he was reborn. When he was weak, he needed to use the York family's manpower and material resources to build fortifications and adopt a passive defense posture. Now, Victor's

He is strong enough. As the situation gradually becomes clearer, he has the ability and necessity to switch from defense to offense. While the war mode of the Ant-Man army has not yet been completed, he goes to the Everfree Forest to solve his troubles once and for all.

Of course, this is not the only option on Victor's desk. He is also confident of defeating the incoming Ant-Man army on the frontal battlefield.

Ancient alchemists recorded that the Queen Ant can produce up to 600,000 Ant-Man units. They start from the nest in the Everfree Forest, pass through the Unnamed Prairie, and then pass through the Lizard Swamp before reaching the Skylark Mountains adjacent to Randall's Territory.

At such a long distance, it is impossible for the 600,000 Ant-Man army to be dispatched in full force. Considering that some of the troops must be left behind by the Queen, Victor estimates that the number of Ant-Man units that will actually attack Centaur Hill will not exceed 400,000, and they will have to march in batches, otherwise they will

Halfway through, you'll be so hungry that you eat dirt.

It is true that the larger the number of expeditionary forces, the slower their movement speed will be.

Theoretically, the ant plague will break out in seven years. The actual situation should be between 7 and 9 years, when the strength of the Ant-Man's attack on Centaur Hills reaches its peak.

The York family has the entire human kingdom behind them and has several years to prepare. It has logistical supplies, military mobilization, fortifications and tactical advantages, and is fully capable of annihilating 400,000 Ant-Man units.

But if it really comes to a full-scale war, the Centaur Hills that Victor and Sylvia have worked so hard to manage will definitely be beaten to pieces, and the massive gold coins they finally saved will probably be divided up by the lords and the church. Moreover, the invading territory will be eliminated.

The ant-man army does not mean that the ant plague is over. The queen will not die and the ant colony will not be destroyed. After a period of time, the ant colony will always come back.

Victor has to prepare for two things. One is to go to the Everfree Forest to find the elemental rune crystal that controls Ant-Man. On the other hand, he has to ask Sylvia to guard Centaur Hills and actively prepare for war. If he can successfully solve the ant plague,

This is the best situation. If the raid plan fails, then return to Centaur Hill and face off against the Ant-Man army.

With the strength of the Stormrage Sword Master, Victor would not be in much danger if he took a trip to the Everfree Forest and faced the ant nest directly. He was confident that he could escape from the hands of Ant-Man.

The entire raid plan is very simple: Victor takes Bertina to find the ruins of the ancient Assyrian Empire, search for the elemental rune crystals that control the Ant-Man tribe, and then ask Bertina to close the Queen Ant Alchemy Tower.

The actual situation may be much more complicated. The ancestral notes provided by Trigoval describe the general location of the Assyrian Empire and the Altar of the Evil God, but those were records more than 1,500 years ago, and the strange crystals preserved by Isox are also older than today.

More than 20,000 years.

A long time is enough to change everything, allowing the unknown fog to shroud reality. Victor is not sure whether the elemental symbol crystal of the Queen Ant Alchemy Tower is still there, nor does he know where it is, or whether the forced restraint on the Ant-Man group is effective. However,

The raid on the ant nest was worth trying, and Father Miller's prepared plan gave Victor some confidence.

Victor taking only Bertina, Caligula and four dragon maids to the Endless Forest is definitely the fastest combination, but it is not only very difficult for seven people to find a small elemental rune crystal deep in the Endless Forest.

Difficulties, losing any member along the way will make the team's situation more dangerous.

The entire raid plan requires high-end force, as well as a certain number of eyes and ears, minions, baits and victims. Fortunately, the most important thing Victor has is cannon fodder. He can now mobilize two hundred source blood militiamen at any time, as well as alchemy warfare

Mastiff, Alchemical Dragon Lizard and Alchemical Crow can be driven.

The larger the number of people in the team, the higher the error tolerance and the slower the movement. Based on the information he has, Victor estimates that the most appropriate number of people should be controlled within 300, including War Mastiff and Dragon Lizard units.

As for the functional structure of the team, this is not a problem at all. The physical fitness of the third-level source blood militia is comparable to that of the intermediate bronze knight, and its physical fitness, self-healing and environmental adaptability are even better. They are loaded with collection skills and are good at survival in the wild.

He understands the habits of various monsters and wild beasts, and also knows how to identify plants, and can prepare potions for different purposes. He is an all-round mystical guardian. Unfortunately, the third-level source blood militia was born too short, and their rigid thinking and dull behavior are their fatal consequences.

defect.

The new alchemy humans cannot stand alone and are useless. They need experienced team leaders, intuitive leaders and calm and rational tactical commanders.

There is no better commander than a knight. Currently, the only Randall knights who can keep secrets are Charlotte, Brandon, Klaus and Todd. The Randall family’s ferocious warriors Rogers, Red Wolf and Marcy are

Can act as a leader.

Victor plans to have a family knight partner with a ferocious warrior and a dragon maid, and form three teams with three cores. One team will be the forward, and the other two teams will be the left and right wings. He will lead the main team in the center.

Support.

The dragon maid who is connected to her master serves as the herald of the peripheral team. Victor can timely grasp the dynamics of the three teams through telepathy, and quickly make coordinated deployments according to different situations, without having to worry about the team getting lost or encountering an enemy without help.

dilemma.

If all members participating in the raid are regarded as a complete collection of life, they must first have multi-type, multi-level, and full-dimensional perception methods.

Each team has the perception of ordinary people, the psychic perception of the ferocious warrior, the dragon perception of the Argonian, the bird perception of the alchemical crow, the wild perception of the alchemical war mastiff, and the unique perception method of the alchemical dragon lizard - super smell and

Heat source induction.

Due to the uneven strength of the team members, their judgments and reactions to danger predictions are also completely different. The beasts, poisonous insects and deadly traps that the Alchemy War Mastiffs are on guard against are nothing to the Dragon Maid. The threats they perceive are at least gold.

the existence of levels.

These are the so-called multi-level, multi-category, and full-dimensional perception methods.

Perception is the key to victory. Victor not only possesses extremely powerful perception, but also has extraordinary analytical abilities. Super vision, super sense of smell, super hearing, blindness and beyond-visual range perception, as well as meticulous insight into the wind element.

These innate abilities are all **-3 unified and optimized, and can comprehensively present the collected information, which is equivalent to a field of perception.

However, there is a limit to Victor's perception field. On the one hand, it is reflected in the distance. A radius of 22 kilometers is already a perception field that stuns even the Golden Knight. If it is further away, the comparison and completion of information will be relatively difficult; on the other hand,

Victor's perception methods generally fall into one category, and do not involve psychic premonition, elemental perception, alien and insect perception, etc.

The followers and vassals selected by Victor make up for the shortcomings in both aspects at the same time. The forward and left-wing squads operate 20 kilometers away from Victor, which can increase the detection range by at least 10 kilometers and the danger warning range by 30 kilometers. Once the peripheral teams feel

When danger approaches, the alchemical crow flies over to lock the target, and Victor can grasp the abnormal situation immediately through telepathy with the dragon maid.

With such a large range of perception and such rich perception methods, almost no enemy can threaten the safety of Randall's expeditionary force.

The men chosen by Victor are all the best of the best. Large groups of enemies cannot catch up with them. Strong enemies that can catch up with them will have to face the Stormrage Swordmaster, the gold-level dragonman, and the alienation of the Imogen wizard.

The giant beast, and the quasi-radiant God of War Caligula. If it pursues the outer team, His Highness Randall doesn't mind killing it.

Except for brainless and bloodthirsty alienated creatures, no monster dares to challenge the team led by the sun elf alone.

The perception method evolved by the laws of reality is bound to be limited by the environment. Victor's team is fine in the open area. Once they enter the forest with dense vegetation, the alchemical crows flying in the sky are basically useless. The team's perception range and efficiency

was greatly compressed.

Therefore, Victor needs to bring the Imogen wizard with him. He can not only control forest creatures, but also possess puppets, temporarily gain the perception of alienated creatures, and detect the enemy's situation from a distance.

Imerson's witchcraft talent makes up for the shortcomings of the team, but he can only detect a single target. In a sense, the best way of perception is actually the elemental perception of a high-level knight, which is the chaos from the elemental sea.

The law is not limited by any environment or terrain.

Victor originally planned to recruit a high-level knight to accompany him. After much deliberation, Trislie was the most suitable one. But if Trislie knew about this, Sylvia must also know about it. Then Victor would be in big trouble.

.

His original intention of secretly building the mountain fortress was to target the York family, as well as his secret possession of mithril, thorium, Saronite, and even the secrets of the Imersons and the Alchemy Tower. These things will all be exposed...

The relationship between the Stormrage Sword Master and the Divine Knight is a small problem. Sylvia will definitely be angry, but she will be happy in the end, and then take Bertina away from Victor and put her under her control

Down.

In other words, Sylvia does not allow Victor to venture into the Everfree Forest at all. Even if he goes, he must first eliminate the main force of the Ant-Man army and minimize the risk before she can rest assured.

If Victor insists on going, Sylvia will also go with him to ensure the safety of her lover. If the two royal highnesses run away at the same time, chaos will break out in Centaur Hills and the Kingdom of Cambis.

That's not the worst.

The Spirit Knight is equivalent to the incarnation of the elemental sea. Her appearance may stimulate the unknown king of the spirit world, leading to a series of changes. Assuming that Sylvia replaces the will of the creator and kills the ancient gods, she herself may not be able to

Spared.

Just like Sylvia knows that her lover is a strong man in the Sanctuary, but is unwilling to let him take risks in the Everfree Forest. Victor also does not want Sylvia to face a life and death decision. He has a strong protective feeling for his wife.

Even though Sylvia is a divine knight.

The master of the mind controls his own destiny, and Sylvia is also included. Reversing her premature assimilation into the elemental sea is the highest challenge set by Victor. He may not succeed, but it is his strength to move forward.

source.

The Alchemy Tower and Ant-Man were the trouble that Victor got into. Sylvia intervened in advance and triggered the fate of the renaissance of the Alchemy Empire, which was not a good thing for either her or Victor.

Victor had been preparing for this for 12 years and would not change his decision because of Sylvia. After repeated considerations, he still thought it would be more appropriate to leave home secretly without telling his beloved wife.

Staffing was carried out from a perception perspective to solve the team's most basic survival problem. Victor then began to consider the team's potential for continued blood production and development.

The three peripheral teams are responsible for guarding, reconnaissance, and search tasks. They emphasize mobility and flexibility. They do not need too many people, but they must be elite and strong. They have a relatively large range of operations and can take on the responsibility of collecting resources. Unfortunately, the Origin Blood Warrior has four skill slots.

With only one collection skill loaded, they basically don’t know how to process materials. The main force is in a relatively stable situation and is capable of shouldering important logistical tasks, including resource reserves, armaments repair and processing, rest and rotation of soldiers, medical care for the wounded, and other functions.

Victor plans to recruit 30 alchemy militiamen with forging or construction skills from the mercenaries and swamp scouts, and let them serve as army craftsmen. In addition, he will also select several sword-wielding maids in Mercury Manor to serve as medical assistants to Pastor Dane.

, and at the same time, it can also take care of the food and daily life of Imerson and his daughter.

The most critical character is undoubtedly the Imogen Wizard. If you make good use of his abilities, you can continuously produce cannon fodder, adopt more flexible and diverse tactics, and effectively reduce the casualties of the team.

Victor also had an astonishing idea. There are a large number of orcs on the unknown prairie to the west of the swamp. They understand the cyclical habits of the ant-men, but the next ant wave will be different. This will turn the prairie orcs into ant-men.

Instead of using military rations, it is better to build a force of orcs. They can fight against the ant tide and delay the outbreak of war for the human country. Of course, at the worst, they must know how to organize scattered tribes to avoid the coming disaster and make the huge army of ant-men useless.

Meat is edible.

As long as Imogen is given time and force support, he can develop a powerful alien army!
