Chapter 425: Preparation for Actual Combat Exercise
While waiting for the recovery of Tianjing Main City and the Elf Temple, Lido was not idle either.
The top brass of the legion gave Lido their greatest support. Even though it was incredible, they would pin their hopes on Lido's batch of new recruits. But that was how it was in the magical continent, the strong were respected!
In short, after Lido came back from the swamp for the second time and was watched by several senior executives performing the Qingfeng Slash in the name of witnessing her magic and martial arts, they were all astonished!
When they asked Lido indirectly about her future plans, Lido said that her ambition was to travel around the continent and she planned to prepare for the trip after her military service ended.
After this, Lido's freedom was greatly improved, and the legion's top leaders also spared no effort to support Lido's suggestions.
What was Lido doing? She led the criminal army to dig and build a mountain on the uninhabited open plain outside the city wall in front of the garrison fortress.
What Liduo said before about conducting some actual combat exercises was not just talk.
Now the support from Tianjing main city and the Elf Temple has not arrived yet, so before that, Lido can prepare for the actual combat drill. It is crucial to artificially create a terrain similar to that around the swamp.
Fortunately, there is such a large open space outside the garrison fortress, which provides Liduo with a place to build large-scale projects. Now Liduo is directing and supervising this matter.
Because only Lido knew the entire terrain around the swamp.
The Legion's top brass issued a gag order to the special operations team and those who followed Lido to verify the news, preventing the news from leaking out, especially to ordinary summoners, in order to avoid causing panic.
However, the Legion has already begun to make subtle changes, gradually replacing summoners who meet Lido's requirements and no longer sending them out.
This is a huge project, and even with the help of the elves' magical skills, the construction speed is not very fast.
More than ten days later, the simulated terrain was finally built. Except for the fact that there was no water, mud or Demon Soul Spider's nest in the swamp, the surrounding mountains only had a hillside facing the swamp. There were no trees on the hillside except for the wood that Lido had people drive into the ground. There was no water in the water network. The central stone peak was a stone wall only about 20 meters high made with the Stone Wall Technique of the Rock Elves. The rest of the area, shape, etc. were basically consistent with the actual situation.
It can be seen that Liduo did a good job. When Commander Feng Yang and his team inspected it, they were amazed and immediately decided to keep the simulated terrain after the actual combat exercise. Maybe it will be of great use later.
At this time, the support from Tianjing Main City and the Elf Temple had not yet arrived. This efficiency made people wonder if something unexpected had happened in the middle.
The venue was in place, but the personnel were not yet in place. The legion leaders finally remembered that of the three maps that Lido had taken out when reporting on the three-eyed demon soul spider, only the middle map that showed the swamp where the demon soul spider's nest was located was mentioned.
At that time, they were so shocked by the incident of the three-eyed demon soul spider that they ignored the other two maps. Now that they remembered them, they called Liduo to explain them in detail. However, this time there were no other special operations team members around, only Liduo.
So Liduo told the legion's top leaders about the giant monster's nest 20 kilometers away on the left side of the swamp, which shocked them again.
As for the map on the right, it was just an ordinary map with nothing special. After listening to Liduo's brief explanation, everyone ignored it.
They were not shocked by the existence of the giant monster's nest. Not only the top leaders of the legion, but many people in the legion knew this. However, the information the legion had about the deepest part of the Hengduan Mountains was from more than a hundred years ago, and there was a serious lack of information.
But this time, Lido drew a detailed map, and at least knew one of the routes leading to the giant monster's lair. The appearance of the monster's lair was also described clearly. Lido even hand-drew a large-scale map of only the giant monster's lair for them on the spot.
Although Lido did not find out the types of monsters in the monster's lair, she also gave the number of intermediate and above monsters, which is more important to the legion, because no matter how many primary monsters there are, they cannot compare to the damage that a high-level monster can bring to the legion.
However, the fact that the giant monster's nest was so close to the Demon Soul Spider's nest in the swamp made several people sweat. Now, when the legion was destroying the Demon Soul Spider's nest, they had to consider being attacked from both sides by the monsters in the giant monster's nest.
However, Lido was not too worried about this, because Lido would not choose to destroy the Demon Soul Spider's nest at night, but at noon when the sun was the strongest.
On the one hand, although the three-eyed soul spider no longer needs to rely on lava caves to avoid the sunlight, it should not be able to leave the protection of the black spider web and move directly in the sunlight. This gives summoners who come to destroy the soul spider a greater margin of error.
As mentioned before, it is impossible for such a large team to act quietly. No matter how careful they are, some noise is inevitable.
But if it is daytime, as long as the movement is not too frequent and no one keeps a close eye on the black spider web, the spider swarm is likely not to come out to investigate, and the success rate of encircling the swamp will be greatly increased.
On the other hand, if we don't summon spirits before reaching the swamp, the monsters in the giant monster's nest 20 kilometers away probably won't notice.
And when the summoners began to summon monsters to besiege the Demon Soul Spider's nest, even if the monsters in the giant monster's nest noticed it, the midday sun would still make them hesitate. Even if they marched towards the swamp, the sunlight would reduce their strength.
The distance between the giant monster's nest and the swamp gives summoners time to deal with the three-eyed demon soul spiders first.
By the time the monsters come over, according to Lido's estimation, the encirclement and suppression of the three-eyed demon soul spider should have come to an end, and some manpower can be allocated to deal with the monsters.
By then, not to mention killing all the invading monsters, it shouldn't be a problem to fight and retreat at the same time.
Of course, this will be taken into consideration and practiced during actual combat exercises later.
Now everything is ready, the only question is when the support will arrive.
