The next day, after the iron axe returned to the Cageshan command post by the seagull, he entered the staff office for the first time.

“How’s this trip?”Edith was sitting at the redwood table, drinking black tea.

Obviously, these days everyone is busy, and it is common to work until the early morning, but she still maintains a delicate image, as if her energy and time are born more than others, and this ability is admired even with an iron axe.

“Moral morale is available.”He answered briefly.

"Then we can plan the next step."The northern pearl smiled slightly, "By the way, just last night, the defenders of Xisha City also withdrew from the defensive area."

“Then there’s only the sinkhole Bay...” The iron axe looked at the large map on the wall.

“I propose that they be allowed to withdraw as soon as possible and send a force to respond, without having to wait for the line of defence to break through.”

The iron axe nodded, and he agreed with the judgment.Now the devil gathered from west to east is likely to exceed fifty thousand, this number of the whole of Shenchi Bay is not a problem, once the army confluences, the First Army is afraid it is difficult to find a suitable time for retreat.

Since their strategic goals were not on a city or one place from the beginning, it was natural to give up the sinkhole early in order to save the army.

Since the enemy launched a huge attack, the evacuation has not stopped, the original maintenance of the city's residents and merchants were the first to be transferred out of the city, followed by Roland's family and nobles.The city at this moment is just a huge shell, and as soon as the order is given, the defenders can move at once.

“I... don’t quite understand...” Ai Gessa, who looked at the latest war report, suddenly muttered.

“Did something go wrong?”The iron axe came up to her.

"The statistical gap between the casualty figures and the enemy's ... is 30 times more, how is this done?"Since all four cities have been up against each other in the past week, and the reports are sent in batches, they need to be manually aggregated.In order to prevent miscalculation, she checked the arithmetic in her hand several times, and the answer remained unchanged.

According to the statistics, the battle of the four cities has now killed and injured more than 1,500 people, but the number of enemies eliminated is as high as 50,000, which can be described as incredible.

If in the era of the Federation, Agra would not hesitate to think that this is a deliberate fraud and a lie in the military, but she has fought with the First Army many times, and it is unlikely that such a problem will occur under the multi-party verification system.Even if you throw a 20% error, it will not change its essence.

Know that when the First Army was in the fertile plains of the North, it was only 20,000 in the face of the devil's army!At that time, they relied on hundreds of kilometers of railways to build fortresses, and it took nearly a year before and after that to achieve the victory of the Battle of Tacila.

And this time the staff's strategy is only to keep retreating, in eight days to play twice as much as the fertile plains of the fruit.

Despite her confidence in humanity today, she was shocked by the results.

Aigsa thought that this war would be hard to beat.

"So," said Edith, laughing after reading the Ice Witch's statistics, "to be honest, the effect of this scheme has slightly exceeded my expectations.But it was not all the credit of the First Army, and the cooperation of the devil was also very important, and probably the ambush caused Hekzod to be seriously injured, so that he did not have the energy to control the details of the front line."

“Only for that reason?”Ai Gesha was unbelievable.

"I know what you're wondering," said Edith, waving, "it seems that we have only retracted a few times in exchange for such a result, and the battle plan can be summed up in one sentence, but in fact it is not so."You were always behind in the Federation period, and it was not normal to understand that it was only the present First Army that could carry out the tactic.”

"The first army did not go when the ruins of the expedition taqila did not go?"

"At least not better than now."Northern Pearl explained, "Retreat and defeat are often only a paper, and order can still be maintained under great pressure, which is extremely difficult, not to mention the orderly withdrawal."In the case of those noble armies, I am afraid that a coaxing and dispersal has been the best performance.It had not been for the first army that had been tested by the night raids in Tagila and the strength of the orders shown by the previous evacuation squads, I would not have dared to risk putting this programme into practice.”

“The role of the new weapons is also obvious – at least in the city streets, they can rely on general-purpose machine guns and field guns to compete with the enemy without the support of the fort gunfire.The greatest advantage of firearms is distance, and once the whole army can be moved and the advantage is always in the hands, and it is logical to achieve this result.”

Attrines said, "But it is also true that we have lost the outer defense, so the next step is the key to the whole plan."Once the devil wins the four cities, he will surely begin to plan the next round of attacks, and Cage Mountain is both a barrier and a raw material source for the sun, so the earth-for-people approach cannot be used all the time.The enemy must be further reduced before they can be restored.”

“Red mist...” Ai Gesha whispered.

"Yes, these four cities are already outside the red fog, the devil's dependence on the supply line will certainly increase significantly, and the recurrence of blood lines is also very likely."And the current front spans almost the whole of the wolf heart, and I don't think they can take it all in their care.”

“Before the fog storage tower was established, the devil could rely on the fortress-type beasts and human transport equivalent to a small obelisk.”The Iron Axe added, "Before they had all started from the flanks, but according to the observation of lightning and Maisie, after a large number of wildfires had been damaged, their protection against the dew was not as good as before."In the other four cities, the main supply lines of the devil's front are hidden in the red mist, but it will be exposed to the eyes of the First Army."

"The problem is that it means we need to take the initiative."Ageta hesitated, "Fort-type malignants can move autonomously, and they are not afraid of the straitfire of the empty knights, and they can only send ground troops to destroy them."But we can see the enemy, the enemy can see us, even if the protection of the marmalade is reduced, they can temporarily send reinforcements - after a trip, we are likely to lose the advantage of distance.If the devil is caught up.”

In the unobtrusive encounter, the First Army, even if it can repel the devil, will inevitably lose a lot of money.

"So speed is everything," said Edith Yang, lifting his mouth, "just to fight back before the enemy reacts."

But how can we do this?Agsa set her sights on the map, trying to find a shortcut from Cage Mountain to Four Cities.There are many roads between the two places, including the former commercial roads and the hard roads that were later built to speed up the evacuation.They are all over the four cities and caged mountains, like a spider's web.

However, these roads do not have the ability to shorten the distance.Not to mention that the First Army has no cavalry force at all, even if there are a large number of horses, can catch up with the fortress-type terattan and say two things.Moreover, light riding can carry limited firepower, is not suitable for those huge monsters.

"Certainly not now," said the Pearl of the North, as if she were puzzled, "the plan is still missing a key factor, and when it is in place, all the conditions are available."But as planned, you'll see it soon."
