Chapter 155 D-Day
Chapter 155 D-Day
An eagle flew among the overcast clouds that morning. It's sharp shining eyes sighed down looking for the prey he was aiming for. The wide flap of its wings makes its body glide perfectly on the wind.
The eagle saw a black line that extends without being able to see the end. The eagle's head turned and he lowered his flight altitude.
The closer he got to the ground the clearer what he had just seen. That black line was a line of hundreds of thousands of Quadruple Arachnids walking towards somewhere. The thick snow that piled on their feet didn't slow down their movement. With their thick black exoskeletons and strong muscles, the Quadruple Arachnid army walked with terrifying auras around them.
The eagle perched on a tall tree and watched the Quadruple Arachnid army. His yellow eyes seemed to be recording every move of the army. But that's not a parable, the eagle is a sylph possessing the bird.
He comes from the Military Espionage Division and is tasked with tracking enemy movements. Using his syplh possession ability he managed to fly this close to the enemy troops without being noticed.
Even so, the sylph's heart skipped a beat when he saw the arcnaid line extending out of nowhere. He knew that this army of death would head for the place where the monster caravan was. Their large number made the sylphs fear that the monster would suffer defeat in this battle.
But the task of figuring out a way to win was the job of the generals. His current job was to monitor the approaching Quadruple Arachnid troops and transmit this information to headquarters.
----------
As far as a day's journey from there, in a large bunker that was made to be the main headquarters of the monsters.
The current state of the main base was filled with frenzy and colorful lights flashing from the screen displayed by the sylphs. Dozens of sylphs in charge of reconnaissance send videos every minute and the sylphs at headquarters receive it and then display it in the main headquarters.
Several other sylphs were in charge of recording any important information that appeared on the screen and then reporting it to Swa and some of his goblin subordinates. This information then becomes the basic foundation of the Military Strategy Division to make their war tactics.
Currently the entire border area between spring and winter has been successfully mapped by the monsters. Previously Mige decided to make the war against the Quadruple Arachnid far away from Bitter Maja. Even though the war supplies are getting farther away, at least even if the war is raging, the construction of the Wilwatikta Kingdom in Bitter Maja will not be disturbed.
As a result, after listening to the modern war tactics that Moku conveyed to him, Mige made a new war strategy that had never existed on the Bog Forest before. He divided his troops into several small elite teams whose task was to hit-and-run the enemy.
Their task is not to defeat the enemy but to slow the enemy down and waste their strength. Aracnid Warriors (the term used to classify the first arcnaids that Moku found) do not have the ability to wage a long war, so if the monsters can make it to exhaust the energy in their bodies then the aracnid warriors will die by themselves.
"Mige! We managed to find the enemy's location!" Swa who came in a hurry reported his findings.
"Tell me their location on the map" said Mige while pointing at the map in front of him.
Swa nodded "As we predicted earlier, they came from the direction of Glittering Meadow following the trail we left and went through the same journey as the monster caravan at that time. Currently they have a one-day-journey to get to this place"
Mige was silent for a moment while stroking his chin "If that's the case then Quadruple Arachnids is just what the breeder association says"
The absence of eyes on the arachnid warrior's body left the breeder association confused. Because apart from the two antennae on top of the arachnid warrior's head, they couldn't find any other senses on his body. As a result, they concluded that the arachnid warriors knew their surroundings through smell or thermal on their prey's bodies.
That's why the arcnaid troops were able to follow the direction of the monster caravan even though their tracks were already covered by snow. Therefore, ambush attacks will be easily detected by quadruple arachnid troops.
However, the superiority of the Quadruple Arachnid troops can be used as a weakness by Mige. He had prepared various strategies for every eventuality, this was one of the reasons why he had built the main base far away from Bitter Maja because then he could carry out various war maneuvers. Even if his tactics failed he still had a chance before bringing the battle to Bitter Maja.
The curtains of the tent opened and the two Asuras entered the main base. Mige looked at them and smiled with their presence, these battle against the Quadruple Arachnid army would be easier than the battle against the five mages.
"Mige, the first batch of food and weapon supplies has arrived! Inside are various new iron weapons that the goblins have successfully crafted" Boku reported.
"I've brought all the orcs and Tortured who are ready to fight. Mige, Moku said that the battle this time, he wants you to be the center of command while the field command is handed over to the teams you designate. That way we both are also under your command" said Goku with eyes impatient for battle.
He had already used his newfound power against someone but it was only sparring with Boku or being bully by Moku. So right now he really wanted to try to rampage and kill something.
Mige smiled, he knew that these two asuras were looking forward to battle. Neither did he, as an orc he hadn't smelled blood this week. Even so as the command center appointed by Moku he must not be careless.
"What about Moku?" As the greatest asset and strongest weapon that the Wilwatikta Kingdom has, Moku's existence is very important at this time. With his power Moku is able to change the flow of the battle from defeat to victory.
"Moku is doing something. He brought Nerphyl with him so you can summon him any time." Boku answered.
"More than that, Mige, tell me what plan is in your clever brain" said Boku curiously.
"Well... I can't say if this was entirely my plan. The basic idea came from Moku which he said was 'Modern Tactical War'. I didn't understand the meaning of the word modern but Moku explained that it meant the future. After that with the help of Widya, We discussed it all night and managed to find the most efficient way to use Wilwatikta Kingdom's current military power" Mide said with a proud smile.
He really like getting a goose lay golden eggs after marrying Widya. His wife's brain was really brilliant so sometimes he was amazed and didn't think that he had such a good destiny to marry her.
Meanwhile, two asuras and one orc who saw Mige's proud smile could only lament Widya's fate in their hearts, 'poor girl'.
After being satisfied with praising his wife's intelligence, Mige again explained his plan seriously. "If we add the Hoddurt Division, then the number of our troops that are capable of fighting only amounts to less than 300 monsters. For that, if we do a direct battle then we will surely lose. Even if we won with the help of the three asuras, the number of casualties would be enormous.
But with the weakness of arachnid warriors who are only designed to do short battles we can take advantage of this to defeat them with minimal sacrifice.
I divide the entire army of monsters that will be fighting into 30 squads where each squad has a maximum of 10 monsters in it. Each team must ensure that it has five complete elements, namely; receiver of information, commander giving orders, long-range weapon, map-reading ability, and rapid movement.
Their every move would be regulated at the headquarters, they only had to attack when told to attack and retreat when told to retreat. Meanwhile, I will not include Boku and Goku in any team.
The two of you are tactical missile that I will use to attacks at any point that can damage enemy formations, cut their supply lines, and destroy important targets. You two will move fast, destroy, and retreat quickly. Every target I designate the two of you should be able to destroy it in the shortest amount of time."
Boku raised his hand to stop Mige's explanation that came out incessantly, "Mige, I want to ask what is tactical missile?"
"Hmm... I don't understand either but that's the term Moku uses for a secret weapon of mass destruction that can be fired from a long distance with just one button" Mige said while stroking his chin.
"Ooo.. I like tactical missiles" Goku nodded.
Then this time it was Swa who raised his hand "Ah, Mige then what is Moku's job?"
Mige eyes lit up "Moku ... of course he is a nuclear weapon. A weapon used to destroy a civilization" he said with a sadistic smile on his lips.
