Chapter 278 6.26 Tactical Game

Guruer, the ‘Greedy Wolf’, and Sartre are two people with completely different personalities.

Guruer’s greatest characteristic is that he will take the initiative to find problems and actively seek opportunities to solve them. In life, he is also a person who pursues initiative in everything.

Whatever he wants, he will speak out without hesitation. He will not hide the occasional flash of inspiration in his mind, but will speak it out immediately.

All his behaviors are the same as those of the dire wolves in the forest.

Wolves will never wait until they are hungry to find food. They spend their whole lives actively attacking.

It is better to not finish eating than to wait until they are exhausted due to hunger.

“Taking the initiative” is always right in the life creed of wolves.

Guruer’s worries do have his reasons. During the time he was trapped in the Seawatch Fortress, Loki also made two important discoveries.

First, all countries that exist in this plane must have their reasons for existence.

Under the circumstances of being caught off guard, the countries of England may be bitten off a piece of meat by the Vikings. But if the two countries open up their formations and fight head-on.

Since they exist in this land, they are definitely not soft persimmons that can be slaughtered at will.

Secondly, the English people's combat thinking is obviously ahead of this era.

In the cognition of Viking pirates, defeating the opponent means "charging, swinging the axe, and chopping off the enemy's head with the axe". These three simple actions are repeated thousands of times until the last enemy on the battlefield falls.

They naturally won a war.

In the whole process, only muscles, axes and companions around them are useful.

In the bloody battle, the "brain" is just a burden.

The English on the other side of the North Sea showed completely different technical and tactical capabilities. They did not rely on individual soldiers, but used the huge productivity of the entire country to deal with the enemy.

Since the occupation of Wanghai Fortress until now, there has not been even a bloody conflict between the two armies.

Simply building fortifications outside the city every day, the Vikings have been slowly forced into a dead end.

Fortunately, Loki had anticipated that he might fall into a disadvantage before setting off, and after falling into a disadvantage, the key to breaking the situation lies in Bishop Francis.

From the perspective of his previous life, this old monk weighing more than 200 kilograms is an out-and-out "survivalist". He will tirelessly examine the environment he is in and ensure that he is always in a living condition that is favorable to him.

For this reason, he can immediately abandon all external things such as religion, faith, and nationality.

It is precisely because of this characteristic that all the 1,500 English soldiers led by Letas, all the "nobles" who shouted "justice, glory, for the king" and other words, died.

In the end, only Francis, the fence-sitter, survived.

In the eyes of outsiders, such a person with no faith in his heart is useless. Even the Vikings know the truth, and the English must know it.

But Loki doesn't think so.

In his eyes, he regards Bishop Francis more kindly than everyone around him because in his previous life, everyone in the environment he was in was this kind of person.

In the impatient and busy society of the 21st century. Everyone who can get a house in the Magic City and raise children is a survivalist.

They stepped on countless losers to rise to power, and finally won the right to survive in the metropolis.

Humans always tend to use subordinates they are familiar with, and "what kind of general will lead what kind of soldiers" is exactly this reason.

For this reason, Loki placed his bet on Archbishop Francis. He firmly believed that this old guy must have a smart brain, and he must be able to successfully see the situation in the chaos and find reinforcements for himself across the North Sea.

Until today, when he saw the ravens hovering on the top of the castle.

He knew that his plan was successful.

The Viking King had been dragged into the vortex of this chaos.

**

In the Conqueror's Fortress, he had met Ivar O'Sullivan and had a brief contact.

The ruler of a small country in a remote and wild land built the Conqueror's Fortress to such a level at the age of nearly 30. Even if he is not a business genius like Morgan and Rockefeller, he can at least be called a young talent in this plane.

Such a calculating businessman would never make such a stupid decision as "leading the fleet to charge the enemy and rescue himself".

The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.

In any battlefield involving three forces, the last person to enter will get the biggest benefit.

At this time, Ivar must have driven the fleet to a remote bay in the English Islands, and sent the flying "Raven Path" God's Chosen to observe from high altitude every day when he would fight the English coalition forces.

He would wait until the two sides were close to the end of the battle before leading the army to join the battlefield for harvest.

In any case, he came, and I had an extra layer of protection!

Loki's worry was his intuition.

His intuition told him that the English coalition forces could not be limited to the troops in front of him. In the forest far away from the Seawatch Fortress, he could not see clearly how many people the English coalition forces were hiding.

What exactly were their configurations, what kind of troops, and how much danger would they cause to him.

In the absence of all information, he needed a "tolerance rate" behind him.

As long as he is in a hopeless situation, the "saber-toothed mercenaries" of the O'Sullivan family will do their best to rescue him. Because they cannot bear the consequences of the permanent loss of the portal key.

This gives him the possibility to give it a try.

But on the other hand, it is not a wise move to lead the army out of the fortress and use the flesh and blood of Viking pirates to fight against the traps outside the city. The reason why Mercia can stand firm among the seven countries is that their tactical system must have been tempered by the war.

Even if the powerful Viking warriors can break through the heavy defense lines and accurately complete his tactics

The Seawatch Fortress is just the first battle they face when they land on the islands of England.

If Mercia alone among the seven countries causes his troops to suffer large-scale casualties, Loki has no idea how to proceed with the subsequent battles.

"Brother Guraul is right. We should indeed take the offensive."

"However, it is not wise to attack with the whole army. I have a more clever way to go beyond the plows, crossbows, and trenches above our heads and directly appear behind the English!"

"Boss, forgive me for being blunt, we don't have an air force, what are you doing..."

Loki did not speak, but stretched out a finger and pointed to the well in the middle of the fortress courtyard.

"Listen!"

"They have already dug it for us!"
