In the Troll Forest on the other side.
Rommel, along with the Emperor's Sons of the God and Demon races, and a group of top figures from the Ten Thousand Races, watched the bombarded outer forest with cold smiles.
"Commander Rommel is truly brilliant. How did you manage to predict that Lin Zhan would use artillery to pave the way?"
"Otherwise, according to our original tactics, traps and ambushes would have been set as soon as we entered the forest."
"If it weren't for Commander Rommel's reminder, we would not only have lost many of our men to the bombardment, but also wasted a lot of resources on setting traps."
The Troll Commander said to Rommel with gratitude.
After all, Rommel's order had saved the lives of over a million troll warriors.
Rommel said with a smile, "Amani, Lin Zhan is an excellent commander, and he is also a commander who loves his soldiers like his own children."
"Therefore, I predicted that Lin Zhan's troops feigning an offensive was a ruse. His true intention was to have us set ambushes on the outskirts of the forest, using artillery to pave the way and inflict heavy casualties on us without losing a single soldier."
"This silent exchange between Lin Zhan and myself can be considered as me predicting his prediction of my prediction. As for the outcome, it is quite obvious."
"Brilliant, truly brilliant! With Commander Rommel here, our Troll Forest can finally fight a fair battle against the Human race."
The Troll leader Amani laughed heartily. In any case, with his intelligence, he couldn't grasp what Rommel was talking about regarding predictions.
The Demon Emperor's Son, trailing behind, looked at Xue Feng in bewilderment and said, "Cousin, what does this stupid fox mean? Why is he talking so cryptically?"
Xue Feng chuckled and said, "Cousin, do you even need to ask? Amani isn't very bright, so Rommel is just playing him for all he's worth."
"The harder the trolls fight, the greater the casualties for the humans. Then, who will reap the rewards? Isn't that a sweet deal?"
The Demon Emperor's Son nodded and said, "Damn it, I can see it now. This stupid fox is so...
The Demon Emperor's Son curled his lips and said, "Damn, this woman is truly wicked. No matter how weak the trolls are, they are still her divine race's subordinates. She's willing to sell them out just like that."
Xue Feng gave the Demon Emperor's Son a look and said:
"Cousin, you know what kind of people the divine race are. Why do so many races dislike them? If it weren't for the divine race's brute strength, the other Ten Thousand Races would have wiped them out long ago without the humans even needing to lift a finger."
Upon hearing Xue Feng's words, the Demon Emperor's Son immediately became cheerful:
"Exactly! We're all foxes from the same den, why bother with those flowery speeches?"
"Who doesn't know who? To put it bluntly, our demon race and the divine race share the same ancestor. If it weren't for these pretentious bastards acting like gods, our ancestors wouldn't have split up and gone their separate ways."
Xue Feng nodded in agreement and said, "You're right. These sons of bitches are indeed quite annoying."
As soon as the words left his mouth, Xue Feng couldn't help but freeze. He then slapped himself and said, "Damn, I'm getting sidetracked by that old scoundrel Lin Zhan. My speech is starting to sound just like his."
Rommel looked at the Troll leader Amani and continued:
"Amani, take my advice. Retreat the defense barrier of the Troll Forest another 5 kilometers. Leave a buffer zone for the human forces. Once our warriors engage with the human army, their heavy artillery and rockets will be rendered useless."
Amani nodded in strong agreement. After all, he had been worried about the human race's heavy firepower.
No matter how many traps the trolls set or how many ambushes they prepared, they would all be turned to dust by a barrage of human artillery.
"Commander Rommel, you are right. As long as our warriors are engaged with the humans, Lin Zhan can't possibly fire on his own troops, can he?"
"Without this heavy firepower suppression, our troll warriors will let the human army feel the might of our javelins and bows."
As Amani spoke, he looked at Princess Avril of the Sea race and said sincerely:
"Princess Avril, please rest assured. The Sea race brothers have suffered greatly from the humans' potent poisons. Our troll race will surely repay their cruelty with cruelty and their blood with blood, letting the humans know that we trolls are the true masters of poison."
Although Avril knew that the not-so-bright troll leader meant well, she couldn't bring it up when their Sea race had just suffered a crushing defeat.
Wasn't he hitting them where it hurt the most, highlighting their weaknesses?
"Then thank you, Chief Amani. If the troll race needs anything, please do not hesitate to ask. Our Sea race will give our full support."
Amani nodded politely and said, "Princess Avril, you are too kind. We are all comrades."
Rommel watched Amani's performance and couldn't help but burst into laughter internally.
After all, it was hard to find such an easily fooled honest person nowadays. He had actually encountered one. Could it be that his luck was turning, and he could finally defeat the Human Alliance?
Rommel looked at everyone's reactions and let out a hearty laugh:
"Chief Amani is right, we are all comrades, comrades who can rely on each other in life and death. Don't be polite with your comrades. Let's all discuss our battle plans further."
"Commander Rommel is right. Come, everyone, let's look at the map."
The Divine race's Empress instructed a随行 staff officer to open a three-dimensional map and invited everyone to gather around.
Rommel pointed at the map and said, "Although we have abandoned the area within 10 kilometers of the Troll Forest, it can still be a battlefield against the humans."
"Chief Amani, no matter where the human artillery bombards, as long as there is still forest cover, it will be the trolls' battlefield."
"The troll warriors are fighting the humans for the first time. The scale of engagement may not be large, but there must be combat."
"Firstly, it is to allow the warriors to familiarize themselves with the human race's combat methods and understand their strength."
"Secondly, it is to make the human army mistakenly believe that this small-scale combat method is our tactic, thus making the human warriors complacent."
"After that, we will select a favorable terrain and increase our attack power against the humans. While the humans are not yet reacting, we will inflict the maximum casualties on them."
