The next morning.
When the two-footed flying dragon appeared in the sky again, the camp on the edge of the woods had been withdrawn.
France's elite troops led by Gill were now hiding in the woods, avoiding the two-footed flying dragon's patrol in the sky while gathering together to discuss the next countermeasures.
"Originally, with our strength, it's impossible to deal with Dragon Witch who has a group of dragons."
Gill knelt on one knee on the ground, glanced at Rozen and Matthew on his left and right respectively, and said in a low voice.
"But now, since you have enough power to fight against those monsters, we can organize an effective battle."
What should they do?
It was simple.
"I want to march to Orleans."
Gill proposed such a strategy boldly.
"March?"
Matthew was a little surprised. She didn't expect Gill to make such a choice.
Rozen also frowned and raised an objection.
"It's not that I want to say, Marshal Gill, maybe you think too highly of us." Rozen said, "We do have enough power to deal with the two-footed flying dragon, but that's limited by the number of the enemy. If we want to march directly to the enemy's base camp, don't you think it's too rash?"
Perhaps, a dozen or twenty two-footed flying dragons were nothing for Matthew, who had Rozen's support.
But as the saying goes, ants can bite an elephant to death. Once faced with hundreds and thousands of dragon legions, even Mashu can only stare.
And Orleans was Dragon Witch's base camp. There would definitely be a lot of two-footed flying dragons there, and there might even be real dragons.
In the face of such a lineup, with Matthew's ability, she could only rely on her outstanding defense to protect Rozen and retreat. It was impossible to defeat them head-on.
If there was a first-class servant with a high-level noble phantasm, it was possible to kill all the flying dragons in one fell swoop.
But at this stage, there was no means to deal with so many two-footed flying dragons at once. It was too reckless to rush into the enemy's base camp.
Not to mention, the enemy was not only two-footed flying dragon, but also the unknown existence known as Dragon Witch. What's more, even Lev might be hiding on the side waiting for an opportunity to make a move.
In the face of such a camp, Rozen never thought it would be so easy to take down Orleans, recover the Holy Grail, and repair the singularity.
Therefore, for Gill's proposal, Rozen could only object.
Gill was not surprised.
"I know your scruples." Thus said Jill: "But to march into Orleans now would do us no harm but good."
After saying that, Gill told all the information he knew.
"First of all, Dragon Witch did not stay in Orleans all the time."
According to the information collected from troops all over France, Dragon Witch did not just summon two-footed flying dragons to attack all of France. Every dawn, she would also go out with the two-footed flying dragon legion to ravage the city that was still intact. After destroying a city, she would ride the two-footed flying dragon back to Orleans. Sometimes she would even attack several cities in a day.
Therefore, at this time, Dragon Witch should have left Orleans with the two-footed flying dragon legion, and she was not in Orleans.
"Secondly, Dragon Witch should have never thought that we would have enough combat power to fight against the two-footed flying dragons, so she will not leave many two-footed flying dragons in the base. Our reconnaissance troops also came back with intelligence that the number of two-footed flying dragons guarding Orleans is quite limited. With your combat power, plus our support, it should not be difficult to take down Orleans."
Jill was making these calculations.
In this way, even with the combat power present, it was not impossible to take down Orleans.
It was just …
"If that's the case, what's the point of taking Orleans?" Rozen retorted, "Our purpose is to defeat Dragon Witch, right? You don't just want to take back a city, do you? "
What's the use of just taking back a city?
"Dragon Witch can simply change her base, continue to summon two-footed flying dragons, ravage all of France, or even concentrate her forces to kill us all. That's simply suicide."
Obviously, Rozen did not agree with Gill's countermeasures.
But Gill just smiled.
"Of course, I know that our ultimate goal is to defeat Dragon Witch." Gill said, "However, regardless of how difficult it is to deal with Dragon Witch herself, even you said that you can't deal with all the two-footed flying dragons she led. If you really want to deal with Dragon Witch, you should first eliminate the threat of two-footed flying dragons, right?"
That was right.
Just think about it, if Dragon Witch was a servant, then Matthew must do her best to defeat her.
To deal with servants, they should also send servants. That was the most basic tactic.
And if when Rozen and Matthew focused on dealing with Dragon Witch, there was a large group of two-footed flying dragons harassing them, and even Dragon Witch herself didn't need to move, she just manipulated the two-footed flying dragon legion to deal with Rozen and Matthew. What should they do?
Therefore, there were only two ways to deal with Dragon Witch.
"Either we have to solve the threat brought by the two-footed flying dragons first, or we have to gather enough combat power to defeat the two-footed flying dragon legion."
Gill said.
"Unfortunately, we don't have enough combat power."
Then, there was only one choice that could be made.
That was to solve the threat brought by the two-footed flying dragons first.
That was why Gill proposed to take down Orleans.
"According to the investigation, all the two-footed flying dragons flew out of Orleans, and they did not reproduce themselves."
The purpose of Gill's words was obvious, that was to say that the secret of the birth of the two-footed flying dragons might be in Orleans.
"After all, Joan of Arc did not ride a dragon before."
Gill said these words in a low voice, just as Rozen guessed last night.
And when she heard Gill's words, Matthew also whispered in Rozen's ear.
"Is it possible that the Holy Grail is not with Dragon Witch, but it was placed in Orleans to be used as a magical source to summon the two-footed flying dragons?"
In the final analysis, the so-called Holy Grail was actually an almost inexhaustible magical source, and the prerequisite for all miracles was to have sufficient magical power.
In view of that, even if the Holy Grail was placed in Orleans, placed on a summoning magic circle, and used as a magical source, that was not impossible.
"… I see."
Rozen pondered for a while, then nodded.
"Let's attack Orleans!"
