Chapter 51 Military Situation Analysis
Chapter 51 Military Intelligence Analysis
In the meeting hall of Windsor Castle, the giants of the territory gathered together again.
The layout here is still very shabby. If the carpenters hadn't rushed to build a table for the meeting hall, today's meeting would have been held on the floor.
This meeting was very important, and Ictor did not dare to begrudge the parchment in his hand. Each piece of parchment worth 5 silver coins was spread out on the table and he could use it at will.
"Everyone, this meeting is extraordinary. Before, we lacked the power to exert influence around the castle, but now we are facing a serious problem. Geniel, please repeat your findings to everyone."
"Yes, clan leader."
Genil briefly recounted what he had discovered. The smells found in various places showed that there were a large number of gnolls operating around the territory, and they seemed to be paying full attention to Ict and his rat people.
"Although Genil's intelligence is critical enough, we are still unable to figure out the Jackal's strategic intentions and strategic deployment. The production tasks in the territory have reduced our military investment.
I need everyone to brainstorm and come up with a plan. Whether you choose to concentrate on production or immediately turn around and focus on the military, there must be a result today."
Ictor looked around at his capable men, and his determination in his words was quite clear. There was no way he would be a deserter.
Both of them felt his will, and their eyes intertwined with each other, and they understood that there must be no more capitulationists in this hall.
After unifying their thoughts, the two began to think about the views they wanted to express, but there was an obvious problem in front of them.
In addition, he divided the forest around the territory into five areas, named after the highlands (forest), castle, riverside, opposite bank, and mountains according to the terrain and azimuth characteristics.
"I don't want to waste time, so I will directly explain my analysis, and you can add it as appropriate."
Although this is upstream of Fanfuna, the river is still 50 meters wide. It will only get worse on rainy days, and the danger in the river is no less than in the jungle. It is a natural barrier.
But since there were so many reports pointing to the forest on the other side, Ictor didn't dare to make too much of it, so he also took this direction into consideration.
In the end, dozens of large and small crosses were marked around the territory, and it was only then that everyone understood the intention of Iket's actions.
After doing all this, he called Genil and asked him to identify the place where he found the smell on the map.
"I consider this information to be credible for the time being. Are you two sure you haven't missed anything?"
This rough map can only give an indication, but what Ictor wants is only a rough direction.
Then, Ictor asked other gnolls who had made discoveries to describe their intelligence, screened out the more credible information, and continued to mark it on the map.
After clarifying the core area of the territory, Iket drew the Vanfuna River (east), the Kabulon Mountains (north), the forests surrounding the territory, and the highlands down to the river valley (west) based on the general directions.
Road to the castle (south).
This is a rough map.
"I'm sorry that I can't vouch for this, young master. I just think it's normal for these things to spy on the territory. After all, they are uncivilized barbarians, and the jackals can't cross the wide Fanfuna River to threaten us."
At the same time, smells were also found near the riverside forest in the east. It is unlikely that there are tribes near the castle. These gnolls should come from further south.
"As you can see, although the credibility of the overall intelligence is open to question, this map can already show the distribution of jackals around the territory.
Generally speaking, the highlands to the west of the territory have quite a lot of sighting records, while the castle forest to the southwest is too narrow and long, and is not suitable for the tribe to survive under the long-term activities of the undead.
"This is a love education camp, and these two areas are the key points of territorial defense."
"Is the source of this news accurate? Have you confirmed it?"
Ictor picked up the quill, dipped it in ink, and began to write and draw on the parchment.
Yaro and Genil nodded heavily, their attitude was very clear, they only had so much information.
If you don’t even know this premise, how can you make reasonable suggestions?
Aris looked at the complete picture and immediately remembered something.
Ictor said confidently that it was hard to say whether this map was accurate today, but as long as they continued to collect intelligence on the jackals around the territory in the future, this map would become more and more accurate.
"This is Windsor Castle where we are, directly above is the north."
Ickert pointed to the circle in the center of the paper, and then drew a rectangle in the lower left corner of the circle.
As for the forest on the other side of the east bank of the Fanfuna River and the mountain forest to the north, there are only sporadic sighting reports. The field of vision there is already limited, so I cannot fully trust this information. Do you have anything to add?"
"Master, I have some information to add. The maids in the castle complained to me that they saw a lot of jackals when they were washing clothes by the river, and they peeked at us openly!"
I have reason to suspect that the smell in this area was also left by the jackals from the highlands.
These highland gnolls are not necessarily the largest, but they are certainly the tribe that pays the most attention to us.
After Ictor finished speaking, he stood up and waved to Aris and others to stand up and gather around the parchment he picked up.
That is, will the jackals come? If so, how many people will come? They have no idea.
Genil recalled it, and quickly picked up a quill and drew a few crooked crosses on the map.
"Well, that's exactly what I'm thinking about, but it's one code after another. It takes time for the scouts to be established and to gather enough information. Time waits for no one.
Considering the complex environment in the rainforest, the cycle for us to obtain intelligence is about seven days, and we cannot take into account multiple directions. What we should do during this precious time is the most important."
So Aris adjusted his language and took the initiative to say:
"Master, I really want to help you solve your problems, but we don't know the details of the Jackals at the moment. I suggest organizing a scout team to get clear information for us first."
"Well, the next analysis is the key to revealing the Gnoll's intentions. I'll give it to you. Ten minutes. You have ten minutes to recall the time when each mark was discovered.
Pay attention! Don’t be vague! Don’t say it if you can’t remember it!”
After Ictor finished speaking, he allowed everyone present to think. He also ordered the knight attendant outside the door to find Maria, the head maid, to check the information.
As long as the strong gnoll tribe in the west is fine, but if we add the forest on the other side,
Ictor felt a headache. The jackals in this area seemed to be the least to be feared, but they were also the group closest to the territory and the greatest threat.
If we deploy a surprise force here to cross the river and attack
