Chapter 385: Decision on the Eve of Battle
The intelligence brought back by the reconnaissance team plunged the entire alliance camp into deep worry. Shen Mo sat in the tent, with the deployment of the dark forces marked on the map in front of him. He tapped the table with his fingers and fell into deep thought.
Qingfeng stood aside and said solemnly: "Chief, the scale and equipment of the dark forces this time are beyond our expectations. I'm afraid this battle will be extremely difficult."
The female general clenched her fists and said, "But we cannot retreat. Even if there is only a glimmer of hope, we must fight for the future of the alliance."
Lin Yuwei's eyes revealed determination: "The magicians are ready. No matter what, we will go all out."
Su Yao said worriedly: "Although the medical team has made sufficient preparations, if the casualties are too great, we may still face tremendous pressure."
Shen Mo raised his head and looked at everyone: "Everyone has a point. We are facing a difficult choice. Should we take the initiative to disrupt the deployment of the dark forces, or should we hold the camp and wait for their attack?"
Everyone fell into a brief silence, thinking about the pros and cons of the two strategies.
Qingfeng was the first to break the silence: "Leader, I think taking the initiative may be able to catch the enemy by surprise, but the risk is also great. If we can't quickly gain an advantage, we may be surrounded by the enemy."
The female general nodded: "It is relatively safer to hold on to the camp. We can rely on fortifications to resist the enemy's attacks and reduce casualties."
Lin Yuwei pondered for a moment and said, "The power of magic can play a greater role in offense, but if it is defense, it may be subject to certain restrictions."
Su Yao continued: "Whether it is attacking or defending, the treatment of the wounded is a key issue. If it is an attack, we need a light medical team to follow; if it is a defense, the location of the medical camp and the transfer route must be planned in advance."
Shen Mo stood up and paced slowly: "We should not only consider the outcome of the battle, but also the long-term development of the alliance. If the loss this time is too great, even if we win, it may be difficult to resist other threats in the future."
Just then, a soldier came in and reported: "Chief, there are several villagers outside who want to see you. They said they have something important to tell you."
Shen Mo gestured for them to come in. Several villagers walked into the tent, and one of the older villagers said, "Chief, we have heard about the difficulties faced by the alliance. Although our strength is meager, we are willing to contribute to the alliance."
Another villager continued, "We are familiar with the terrain in this area. If the Alliance needs us, we can lead the way for the warriors."
Shen Mo looked at them gratefully: "Thank you for your support, but this battle may be very dangerous."
The villagers said: "We are not afraid. The Alliance has always protected us. Now it is time for us to repay them."
The arrival of the villagers touched Shen Mo's heart. He sat back in his seat and said, "I have heard everyone's opinions and suggestions. Now, I have decided..."
Everyone looked at Shen Mo nervously, waiting for his final decision.
Shen Mo took a deep breath and said, "We choose to take the initiative. But we are not charging blindly. Instead, we use the terrain information provided by the villagers to develop a detailed battle plan. We want to deal a heavy blow to the dark forces at the lowest cost."
Everyone responded in unison: "Yes, Chief!"
Then, Shen Mo began to deploy the battle plan in detail. He divided the troops into several groups, each responsible for different tasks.
Qingfeng led a vanguard team, responsible for breaking through the enemy's defenses and disrupting their deployment.
The female general commanded the main force, attacked from the flank, and dealt a heavy blow to the enemy.
Lin Yuwei and the magicians served as support forces, casting magic according to the battlefield situation and assisting the soldiers in combat.
Su Yao organized a medical team to follow the troops and treat the wounded at any time.
After the deployment was completed, Shen Mo looked at everyone and said, "This is a difficult battle, but I believe that as long as we unite as one, we will be able to win."
The soldiers began to prepare weapons and equipment, and everyone's face was filled with firm determination.
In a corner of the camp, a young warrior was sharpening his weapon, and there was no fear in his eyes.
"Brother, aren't you afraid?" asked the comrade next to him.
The young warrior smiled and said, "Why are you afraid? For the alliance and for our families, this battle is worth it."
As night fell, the alliance's warriors quietly set out and headed towards the dark forces' camp. On the eve of the decisive battle, the silence was filled with tension and anticipation...
