MTL - After Being Sold Out By The Empire, I Decide To Assist The Demon King-Chapter 52 Tactically... strategically...

  Chapter 52 On tactics...on strategy...

   "The way the Dulled Horsemen operate on the battlefield is a team of twelve, right?"

  Ira said this, and before the leader of the headless horseman answered, he said immediately: "It seems to be a very reasonable preparation. Keep it like this. How many such teams do the headless horsemen have in total?"

  In the headless horseman's barracks, standing next to the dark blue flame torch, Ira asked...

  These torches constitute the soul furnace, the place where soul-type monsters are reborn. Whether it is a headless horseman or a howling banshee, they can all be created from it...but soul furnaces of different races have different characteristics.

  The soul needed by the headless horseman is also different from the nature of other monsters transformed into souls, but the principle is still the same.

  The head of the headless horseman with black flames instead of blue flames sat next to Ira. She said: "During the previous giant bee crusade, the number of headless horsemen has increased to two hundred teams."

so much? But with the size of the Demon Lord's collar...

  Ira was a little confused. According to the situation in the empire, an average of 500 acres of land could be used to support 300 soldiers, including ten cavalrymen and two professionals.

   There are not many civilians among the professionals. Most of the professionals and the empire are actually in an employment relationship...not the employment of mercenaries, but more similar to the [contract system] in the world before Iraq, which is the so-called employees.

   Or the professionals themselves are the aristocratic class.

  However, given the size of the Demon King's Territory, even if there were enough offerings, it would be very difficult to support 2,400 knights...but soon Ira realized that she was thinking about it.

It is worth mentioning that although the Black Flame Headless Horseman also participated in the dinner party before, she actually does not need to eat... Neither the Headless Horseman itself nor the horse of the Headless Horseman need to eat .

   And there are actually many races that do not need to eat military pay in the Demon King's Land. Headless horsemen, black knights, constructs, and undead (lichs) obviously don't need to eat.

  Vampires only need to drink blood, slimes can eat whatever they want, and succubi may need to eat some normal things, just like the scarlet dragon of Satan Leaf...but they are not strictly the main battle race.

  Maybe only insects have a relatively large restriction on eating plants...but blue chrysanthemum is a very convenient food to grow.

  Perhaps this is also the reason why monsters have been suppressing the empire before Iraq created the [Consul], and it can even be said... It is a miracle in a certain sense that the empire can last until Iraq exerts its strength.

"I've been to other leaders' places before. There are about 3,000 insect warriors in active service, 4,000 black knights, 300 constructs, 70 succubi, and thousands of little lemurs. .”

The Demon King's Territory is quite a large territory. Although the Demon King's Fort is the size of an ordinary castle, the territory itself extends for a considerable distance... At least in the distant Harpy Mountains, you can still see large-scale land. architecture.

  Guang is the lowest level of little evil. As a labor force, there are already a considerable number of goblins, not to mention that there are even more other monsters living together with everyone.

  Although many of them are just houses made of mud mixed with stones and branches, as long as such a demon king has enough time, it is only a matter of time before he recovers.

   After all, any country other than the Demon Lord’s Land may not be able to understand why a small number of producers can support a disproportionate number of combat roles, and even high-level arms.

   "No matter which angle you look at, the lizard people's territory will undoubtedly be crushed by us. After all, the lizard people only have a total of three or four thousand troops, and they don't have any airspace advantage."

Ira said casually. He asked the Black Flame Headless Horseman in front of him, and said, "How many Headless Horsemen do you think it would be better to bring with you for this expedition? Can ten teams guarantee to crush the lizardmen without loss?" ? I mean without any support..."

   These words made people wonder if he was joking.

  The Headless Horseman can’t see expressions such as [Confused], but if she had an expression, she would definitely be [Are you kidding me? ], she shook her head and said, "Impossible... not to mention no losses, we would not have won without the cooperation of other races."

   After all, the opponent is a whole race. Even if the cavalry has an advantage, the lizardmen are not just infantry. They also have legal professionals, lizardmen elders or shamans.

In this world, it is impossible for high-level units to be crushed by more than ten times the difference in strength. After all, there are precisely guided magic and arrows in this world... For races with long-range units, the advantage of strength is is infinitely magnified.

But after saying this, the Black Flame Headless Horseman seemed to think of the overwhelming [zero casualty victory] that Ira had in the Giant Bee before, she pondered for a moment, and changed her words: "If you are in command, then It may be possible to win, but it may also be a miserable victory."

  Of course, this refers to the situation where one hundred and twenty headless horsemen single-handedly challenged the entire lizardman race... It was completely uncommon sense, but she still doubted whether it could become a reality, which showed her confidence in Ira.

  In other words, this shows the psychological shadow area that Ira brings to the monster.

   "Then just bring twenty teams."

Ira said lightly, counting the number of soldiers who went to the lizardman's territory this time, and said: "Two hundred and forty headless horsemen, two hundred black knights, ten golems... five hundred bugman hunters should be able to establish Altitude advantage."

   "..."

  The Headless Horseman was speechless. She didn't quite understand why Ira only had such a small force. She asked, "But, Mr. Ira, we don't really need to stay with a large number of troops."

  After all, the Demon King City is surrounded by the surrounding territories. If you really want to fight over the hinterland of the controlled area, you need to fight over from the monster territories one by one.

   "However, there is no need for me to bring a large number of troops... If there are too many soldiers, it will affect the speed of marching."

Ira said casually, he looked very contemptuous of the lizardman, and said: "The main thing is that Xilina said that she would take the little ghoul to join the battle. It seems to be training. By the way... I will go to the eagle Once on the Banshee's side."

   If the air power is guaranteed, zero casualties can probably be guaranteed. Although the number of soldiers in the Demon Lord's current army is not small, it is still far behind when it was completely victorious.

   "In fact, there may still be too many soldiers participating in the battle, but I hope that on this basis, I can satisfy the wish of the leader of the black knight and ensure that there are as few killings as possible."

  The leader of the Headless Horseman opened his mouth (?), looked at Ira who was speaking lightly, but still didn't say anything, she just said with emotion: "Mr. Ira... I think it's better to be careful."

   "I know, I will pay attention to each of my enemies tactically, if the scene has the possibility of getting out of control."

  Ira said, he smiled softly, his eyes gleamed with scarlet light, he looked at the Headless Horseman who raised his head suddenly, and said, "I will take action to bring the situation back on track."

   "..."

  Headless Horseman Leader: I hope the lizardmen don't have any hole cards, otherwise when the [hole card] here is shot, the table and players will be smashed to death by the hole card named [Ira].
