The Ominous Lord of the Skaven

Chapter 51 Military Situation Analysis
In the meeting hall of Fort Windsor, the giants of the territory gathered together again.

The layout here is still very shabby. If the carpenters hadn't rushed to make a table for the meeting hall, today's meeting might have to be held on the ground.

This meeting was very important, and Ickert did not dare to spare the parchment in his hand at all. Each piece of parchment worth 5 silver coins was spread out on the table by him, and he took it at will.

"Everyone, this meeting is extraordinary. Before, we lacked the power to exert influence around the castle, but now we are facing a serious problem. Genil, tell everyone what you found again."

"Yes, Clan Chief."

Genil briefly described what he had found. The smells found in various places showed that there were a large number of gnolls active around the territory, and they seemed to show full attention to Ickert and his rat people.

"Although Genil's information is critical enough, we still cannot figure out the strategic intentions and deployment of the wolf man. The production tasks of the territory have compressed our military investment.
I need everyone to brainstorm and discuss a plan together. Whether you choose to concentrate on production or immediately turn around and focus on the military, there must be a result today. "

Ickert looked around at his capable men, and the determination in his words was quite clear, he could not be a deserter.

Both of them felt his will, their eyes crossed each other, and they understood that there must be no more capitulators in this hall.

After unifying their thoughts, the two of them began to think about their respective opinions, but there was an obvious problem in front of them.

That is, will the jackals come?How many people will come?They don't know anything.

If you don't even know the premise, how can you make a reasonable suggestion?

So Aris adjusted his language and said actively:
"Master, I really want to help you solve your problems, but we don't know the details of the wolf man at all. I suggest organizing a scout troop to find out the information for us first."

"Well, that's exactly what I'm thinking about, but one size fits the other, it takes time for the scouts to gather enough information from formation to scouting, time waits for no one,
Considering the complex environment in the rainforest, the period for us to obtain information is about seven days, and we cannot take care of multiple directions. What we should do during this precious time is the most important thing. "

After Ickert finished speaking, he stood up, beckoned Aris and others to also stand up, and surrounded the parchment he picked up.

"I don't want to waste time, so I'll go straight to my analysis and you can add as you see fit."

Ickert picked up the quill and dipped it in ink, and began to write and draw on the parchment.

"This is Fort Windsor where we are, and the north is directly above."

Eckert pointed to the circle in the very center of the paper, and then drew a rectangle in the lower left corner of the circle.

"This is the love education camp, and these two areas are the main points of territorial defense."

After clarifying the core area of ​​the territory, Ickert drew the Vanvna River (east), the Kabulon Mountains (north), and the forests around the territory, as well as the highlands down to the valley (west), according to the general orientation. The road to the castle (south).

This is a rough map.

In addition, he divided the forest surrounding the territory into five areas, named after the highland (forest), castle, riverside, opposite bank, and mountains according to the terrain and orientation characteristics.

After doing all this, he called Genil again and asked him to point out the place where he found the smell on the map.

This rough map can only be used as a hint, but what Ickert wants is only a rough orientation.

Genil recalled it, and quickly picked up a quill and drew a few crooked forks on the map.

Then, Ickert asked other Gnolls who had found out to describe their intelligence, and screened out more credible information from them, and continued to mark them on the map.

In the end, dozens of crosses, large and small, were marked around the territory, and it wasn't until then that everyone understood Ickert's intentions.

"As you can see, although the credibility of the overall information is open to question, this map can already show the distribution of gnolls around the territory.
Generally speaking, the highlands on the west side of the territory have considerable witness records, while the castle forest on the southwest side is too narrow and long, and it is not suitable for the tribe to survive under the long-term activities of the undead.

I have reason to suspect that the smell in this area is also left by the gnolls from the highlands,

These highland gnolls are not necessarily the largest, but they are certainly the tribe that pays the most attention to us.

At the same time, there is also a smell near the riverside forest in the east. It is unlikely that there are tribes near the castle. These gnolls should come from the south.

As for the forest on the opposite bank on the east bank of the Vanvna River and the mountain forest in the north, there are only sporadic sighting reports. The vision there is already limited, so I can't fully trust these information. Do you have anything to add? "

Ickert said confidently that it is hard to say whether this picture is accurate today, but as long as they continue to collect information on the gnolls around the territory in the future, this picture will become more and more accurate.

Aris looked at the complete picture and immediately remembered something.

"Master, I have some information to add. The maids in the castle complained to me that they saw a lot of gnolls when they washed clothes by the river, and they just peeped at us openly!"

"Is the source of this news accurate? Have you confirmed it?"

"Forgive me for not being able to guarantee you, Master. I just think it's normal for these things to spy on the territory. After all, they are all uncivilized barbarians, and the gnolls can't cross the wide Vanvna River to threaten us."

Although this is the upstream of Fanfuna, the river is 50 meters wide, and it will only be worse when it rains. Moreover, the danger in the river is no less than that in the jungle, and it can be regarded as a natural barrier.

But since so many reports pointed to the forest on the other side, Ickert didn't dare to make too much of it, so he took this direction into consideration.

"I consider this information to be credible for the time being. How about you two, are you sure you haven't missed it?"

Yarrow and Genier nodded heavily, their attitudes were very clear, they only had so much information.

"Well, the following analysis is the key to revealing the Gnoll's intentions. I'll give you 10 minutes. You have 10 minutes to recall the discovery time of each marker.

Notice!Can't be blurry!If you can't remember it, don't say it! "

After Ickert finished speaking, he let the people present to think about it, and he ordered the knight servants outside the door to find the head maid Maria to check the information.

Only the powerful Gnoll tribe in the west is fine, but if you add the forest on the other side
Ickert felt a headache. The gnolls in this area seemed to be the least feared, but they were also the one closest to the territory and the most threatening.

If a surprise soldier is deployed here to cross the river and attack
