Chapter 642, We need battleships from Cape City!
Castle of the Count of Werna.
"Your Excellency."
"The news just came from the frontline scouts."
"The 50,000 forward troops have been completely wiped out."
"Also!"
"Scouts also reported seeing a large number of retreating legions on the road to Mondo Castle."
As soon as the news came out.
The Heroes of the Church of Poseidon in the Earl's Castle Hall.
Suddenly there were sounds of surprise.
"Hiss, they really set up an ambush."
"Truly treacherous."
"I heard that the person leading the troops this time is Christian, the military commander of the Holy Light Church of the Old Continent Civilization."
"I have heard of this woman. Without her, the Holy Light Church would lose at least half of its foreign wars."
"He is the most famous general in the history of glory!"
"Fortunately, Mr. Raymond saw through their plot, otherwise we would have gone to the rescue."
"If you are ambushed halfway, you will definitely suffer heavy losses!"
"No, it may even be annihilated."
"Since the other party dares to set up an ambush at this time."
"They must be well prepared, they are just going to eat us in one bite."
"This is a typical encirclement and support."
"But there's something I can't figure out. The other party made a surprise attack on our Mondo Castle."
"Heavy troops have been deployed to ambush us."
"At the same time, we were surrounded by 50,000 forward troops."
"How many troops are there!"
"It must be at least 600,000."
"Impossible, how can one lord have so many legions!"
"They have a population limit!"
"Yes, Fang Yuan has many military leaders. The soldiers produced by the military leaders do not occupy the lord's population."
"But an army of 600,000 should be his limit."
"According to the information from the Blue Star Poseidon Church, it seems that Fang Yuan did not mobilize all his strength to participate in the war this time."
"There can't be six hundred thousand on the west coast plains."
"Not necessarily. According to the information from Blue Star, Fang Yuan is extremely cunning."
"We don't have specific information, so we can't make an accurate judgment on it at all."
Just when everyone was arguing about how many troops Fang Yuan had.
As the commander-in-chief, Raymond coughed.
Then the hall became extremely quiet.
"It doesn't matter how many soldiers the other side brings."
"What we need to discuss now is what to do next after losing the Mondo Knight Leader!"
Saying that, Raymond waved his hand.
A map appeared in front of everyone.
"This is where we are now."
"County of Werner."
"Located northwest of the original Mondo Knight Territory."
"Southwest of Poseidon City."
"Three hours from the West Coast Passage."
"The current position can no longer threaten the West Coast Channel."
"This means that our original plan has failed."
"We must make new plans to contain the Blue Star Lord."
"If you have any good ideas, please share them!"
The heroes present looked at the map.
There was a thoughtful look on their faces.
After a while.
Only then did someone speak.
"Your Excellency."
"It's better to send troops from here and compete with the opponent for the Mondo Knight Leader."
"Anyway, our plan is to contain them."
"Active attacks can also be contained."
"Even if the other party has an army of 600,000, the number of soldiers under our command exceeds that of the other party."
"I am fully capable of fighting it in the wild!"
But objections quickly arose.
"I don't agree."
"It takes more than two hours to travel from our current location to Knight Leader."
"The march is too far."
"Once the forward is surrounded again."
"The consequences would be catastrophic."
"And among the legions we brought, there is only one golden legion, and the rest are not all orange armies."
"There are still some Purple Legions."
"It's quite different from Fang Yuan's legion."
"In the decisive battle in the wild, our military strength is the advantage, but the overall strength is at a disadvantage."
"Besides, there is a difference of 400,000 between one million and 600,000."
"But in a decisive battle with a large army, the difference of 400,000 yuan is acceptable and can be made up by tactics."
"So I think we should stick to it and form a rivalry with Poseidon City."
"Although the Earldom of Werner is far away from the Knights of Mondo."
“But it’s relatively close to Poseidon City.”
"In the Old Continent, this was originally the outer fortress of Poseidon City."
"We're staying here."
"If the enemy wants to attack Poseidon City, he must attack us first."
"If we attack Poseidon City directly."
"We can attack its rear."
"Form a pincer attack on it."
"So, stick to the Earldom of Werner."
"It's our best choice!"
After this suggestion was made.
It was immediately recognized by others.
"Agree!"
"The other party invaded the west coast plain just to drive us away."
"He is the active offensive side, and we are the defensive side."
"Since the Mondo knighthood has been taken away."
"Then we simply retreat to Poseidon City."
"If the other party wants to take over the west coast, Poseidon City is the point that cannot be bypassed."
"If they want to capture Poseidon City, the fortress of Earl Werner is the point they must conquer."
"We can sit in the fortress and wait for the other party to attack."
"Consume it with the help of a fortress."
"The fortress of the Earl of Werner is extremely strong, with the main body on the peninsula. There is also a maritime fleet stationed here."
"At the same time, there are three warning walls on the outside. The moat of each city wall is connected to the sea water, and boats can be sailed."
"The enemy came from the east and had no naval fleet. We held on to the fortress and completely occupied the favorable terrain."
"The other side wants to capture the fortress, so we use the navy to attack in a sneak attack."
"That's enough to make them miserable."
"Agree, the fortress is strong, we can choose to defend it."
Inside the castle hall.
All the heroes agreed with this plan.
Commander Raymond looked at the map carefully.
Finally nodded.
"This is a good plan."
"With a fortress and Poseidon City, we don't have to worry about them surrounding us for reinforcements."
"And when we get here, the front will be stretched."
"It can also create opportunities for the surprise attack by the legion on the Moon Hill."
"Come here!"
"Herald Corps."
"Defend Count Werner's fortress!"
"Send people back to Poseidon City."
"Inform the Third Son of our plans."
"Tell them to defend from now on!"
"Yes!"
When the Poseidon City side chose to defend.
now.
In the castle led by Mondo Knight.
Christian also opened the map.
The next step of war deployment is being made.
"This is where we are now."
"Mondo Knight's Domain."
"This is the enemy's retreat position."
"County of Werner."
"After we captured this place."
"The enemy's strength in this area has become a lonely force."
"Just wait for Assis to lead the air legion and wipe them out one by one."
"The next step is to advance westward."
"Take Poseidon City."
"According to the investigation information, Poseidon City and the Earldom of Werner have formed a rivalry."
"If we want to attack Poseidon City, we must capture the Earldom of Werna."
"But at the same time, we will encounter an attack from Poseidon City."
"Therefore, we want to capture these two cities."
"We must divide our forces!"
"One legion blocked the legion from Poseidon City, and one legion stormed the fortress of Earl Werner."
"My intention is that I will lead the main army, bring the magic crystal cannon army, and blast away the Earl of Werna."
"Kubo, Fiona, Barbarian Sacrifice."
"You bring the magic crystal gun army and stop the reinforcements from Poseidon City."
"Because the Count of Werner is a fortress."
"The outer guard wall stretches to the seaside."
"So I must bring most of my strength to storm the fortress of the Earl of Werna."
"The remaining regiments that are blocking Poseidon City's reinforcements cannot be given to you too much."
Hear this.
Cooper's face showed a look of embarrassment.
"Your Excellency."
"Poseidon City is equivalent to half of the capital of Gondor."
"There is definitely no shortage of golden legions among them."
"If we only bring this part of our existing strength."
"There is no support from the magic crystal cannon."
"I'm afraid it will be difficult to hold off for too long."
"Unless you can capture the fortress of the Earl of Werna in one day."
This time, Christian shook his head too.
"It's hard!"
"The fortress is too big."
"And there is also support from the maritime corps."
"Previous gryphon knight reconnaissance."
"This fortress's maritime fleet is equipped with large gunboats."
"This gunboat is not a magic crystal cannon, it is a mechanical cannon made by the goblins."
"But even so."
"It can also cause huge damage to us."
"In addition, the main part of the fortress of the Earl of Werna is on the peninsula."
"When attacking the main part later."
"A large number of legions will be needed to serve as cannon fodder."
"So we can't give you too many legions."
"Even the Griffin Knight can only give 1/3."
Such a small number of troops.
It made Fiona look embarrassed.
Although there were no losses in the Dragon Eagle Knights in the legion under his command, they were not many in number.
The gryphon knight lost 1/3 in the battle against the cavalry charge.
Now we are not replenishing, but we have to reduce the quantity.
That would be too difficult for him.
Although she is a dragon knight.
But a dragon knight is not invincible on the battlefield.
Besides!
The opponent is Poseidon City, so there is no way they don't have the means to deal with the Dragon Knight.
So Fiona spoke.
"Christian, ask the Lord for reinforcements."
"There is no war in Gondor."
"Your Excellency, Lord, should be able to send more troops."
Not wanting Christian to shake his head.
"There is news from the Wasteland Territory."
"On the Wind Breath Grassland, Lord Blue Star suffered a disastrous defeat."
"1/3 of the troops were lost."
"The underground city used the undead to ambush them, and their power increased greatly."
"There is already a vague tendency to prepare for a counterattack on the ground."
"At the same time in the direction of Blackwater City."
"I also found traces of the undead."
"Your Excellency, the lord, needs to reserve troops to defend the main city."
"To prevent the monsters in the dungeon from stealing your home."
"At the same time, in the Gongnu Castle, in the direction of the city, a legion was stationed to guard against the enemy's crossing the border."
"So the support we can give us is limited!"
"The 400,000 elites now are at their limit."
As soon as these words came out, all the heroes present fell into silence.
The complexity of this war far exceeds that of the grasslands.
Because the plains on the west coast are close to the sea.
Although it is a plain, the belt is divided by various islands and rivers.
The fragmented terrain makes it difficult for large armies to deploy.
In addition, the opponent is stubbornly defending.
If you want to attack the city, you must attack it by force.
And it can only be attacked on land.
Because they had no navy to assist from the sea.
At sea, the enemy had an absolute advantage.
This time.
Fiona sighed slightly.
"It would be great if we had warships at sea."
"We attack from land."
"Coupled with the assistance of warships at sea."
"Not to mention assisting in attacking the castle, as long as it can hold off the opponent's warships."
And as soon as these words came out.
Christian's eyes lit up.
Immediately stood up suddenly.
Said in an excited tone.
"Navy!"
"Wait!"
"We have a navy, and it's very strong!"
"Come here!"
"Return to the Wasteland Territory quickly."
"Tell your lord!"
"We need battleships from Cape City!!"
"Follow your orders~" (End of this chapter)
