Chapter 2762: Frontline (4)

Setting up the connection point was quick.

As long as there was authority and energy for the formation array, that was enough.

Li Ruanyu had all of that now.

She established Zhao Chi's territory connection point right beside her own connection point.

Then she asked softly, "All set. Shall we go to my place or yours?"

"Let's go to my place. The territory is small, and it's more convenient."

Li Ruanyu smiled, "Good, let's go."

The several people vanished instantly.

The moment they returned to the territory, not even a second had passed before Li Ruanyu lunged at him.

She nearly knocked Zhao Chi over.

Her movement was even more vigorous than Su Qin's just now.

Her already tight chest, squeezed by the force, caused a uniform button to pop open directly.

Zhao Chi smiled, "What, do you miss me this much too?"

Li Ruanyu hugged Zhao Chi tightly and hummed in his ear, "Of course I miss you. Was that even a question?"

"I'm here now; we can be together every day from now on."

"Mm."

Not long after, the several people entered the conference room in Taoyuan Town.

Seven people sat in a circle around the table.

Zhao Chi asked, "Ruanyu, since you are responsible for Tieqiao Village, shouldn't you be busy? Do you need to come back tonight?"

Li Ruanyu shook her head, "There is no day or night here. Werewolf activity is frequent at night, perhaps even busier. Routine matters are handled by Guan Qing, Yan Yan, and the others; only important matters require me."

"That's good."

"So, let me briefly introduce the current situation first, and then you can tell me about your matters?"

"Sure." Zhao Chi nodded.

Li Ruanyu said:

"The general situation hasn't changed; it remains as I told you every day, with us and the main werewolf force in a stalemate.

"Our Tieqiao Village counts as the most frontline territory, but there are also dozens of other territories on the very front line, so there is no need to worry too much.

"Just as I told you, Shangguan Ting and the others are stationed at Qingyu Village to our northeast.

"Captain-General Gu Zhan is stationed at Heitan Village to our south.

"Our main force is basically stationed in these three territories.

"Between us and Binghe County, a defensive line has also been established.

"Vice-Regiment Commander Guan Zhiyong leads the Flying Dragon Squad and the Rapid Current Squad stationed at the front.

"It can be said that our main force is basically stationed in the northwest region of Binghe County.

"Besides us, Li Yanhui leads the River Valley Main Force also on the front line, defending together with Vice-Regiment Commander Guan Zhiyong. She is a Main Force Commander now too; you know this, right?

"After all, she came out from our main force, so she counts as one of our people, so now our two main forces are defending together here.

"However, we rotate the defense.

"We change shifts every three days; the day after tomorrow, our main force will move to the front.

"Apart from that.

"To our south are the Copper Rock Main Force and the Cold Needle Main Force; Vice-Regiment Commander Ren Yunchuan is stationed there.

"It can be said the White Tiger Regiment is all in the northwest region of Binghe County.

"To the north of Binghe County is the Desolate Ground Regiment.

"To the southwest is the Black Tortoise Regiment.

"To the south is the Glory Regiment.

"To the southeast is the Dawn Regiment.

"To the east are the nobles and our several friendly army units.

"This is the deployment around Binghe County."

Zhao Chi listened, feeling it was somewhat chaotic.

But he could basically remember it.

After his Intelligence attribute increased, it also helped with memory.

Li Ruanyu continued:

"In the entire northeast of Binghe County, there is one regiment plus one main force of werewolf reinforcements.

"They are located to the northeast of the Desolate Ground Regiment and one noble main force.

"And the nobles have also reinforced two main forces, which are located to the northeast of that one regiment and one werewolf reinforcement main force, launching a pincer attack.

"But on the outermost perimeter, there is yet another main force of new werewolf reinforcements.

"It is simply a thousand-layer cake; the entire northeast direction has layers nested within layers, and no single layer can break out.

"And we cannot go to support either; after all, we have barely managed to surround the werewolves inside Binghe County. If we go to assist, it would be equivalent to failing at the very last step.

"So now the entire battlefield is in a stalemate."

Zhao Chi nodded.

War is a serious matter.

In the entire northeast direction, since both sides sent reinforcements several times, everyone is stacked upon each other, surrounding and encircling one another.

Moreover, both sides have roughly equal strength, and no single side has confidence to win.

Because the outcome of the battle has too many variables.

Winning is obviously best.

But the chance of losing is also significant.

And even if they win, it will be a pyrrhic victory with devastating losses.

Because both sides know this is an extremely critical battle, and both will spare no effort.

So once the final confrontation erupts, it will be extremely brutal.

Under these circumstances, no one wants to launch a preemptive attack unless pushed to the brink.

For example, imagine a button.

Pressing it gives a 50% chance of death and a 50% chance of gaining five million.

How many people would press it?

Unless life has driven them into a corner, anyone who still wants to live will basically not press it.

Only those who cannot survive, or whose lives are utterly destitute, would press it.

This is exactly the situation now.

Neither side has reached that point yet; no one wants to attack first.

Meanwhile, Binghe County is tightly surrounded by the Po Shi Army Alliance.

If the Po Shi Army Alliance shifts forces to reinforce the northeast, it may indeed increase the probability of victory there, but this would weaken the encirclement of the werewolves, effectively lowering the chance of victory around Binghe County.

So it's all the same.

Moreover, hastily relocating troops could allow the werewolves to launch a surprise attack, potentially becoming a factor in defeat.

Therefore, everyone is frozen in place.
