At sunset, the cries of Deerhunting Town gradually subsided. The soldiers completed the execution of the dragon's orders and returned to the camp to rest.
Wild Clans is naturally keen on looting. Logically speaking, every time he occupies a place, looting and massacre are basically indispensable. Even Giant Dragon is difficult to control.
Vanguard Army did not burn down villages and towns, not because of Ferrum's strict military discipline, but because the long-distance raids and continuous battles exhausted Wildland Warriors's mental and physical strength. Wildland Warriors was already exhausted. After getting a chance to rest, they all fell asleep in the camp.
This situation will probably take a full day and night to change, but according to Ferrum's plan, they will set off again at that time.
The sun was about to set, Ferrum summoned the leaders of other troops and carried out War Council again.
Juvenile Dragon arrived quickly. Jelierion captured three stations in the northeast. Afterglow controlled the Reach and cut off the road leading to Southern Territories from the current area. Gax continued to advance along the foothills without encountering enemies along the way.
Only Kेलaili Shanshan arrived late. According to the plan, his troops were to destroy Lord's Castle to the south of Deerhunting Town. The opponent's defense was very resolute. Although the number was small, it took some time.
Ferrum was not harsh on his companions. While waiting for Kेलaili, he had already eaten some meals with other Juvenile Dragon. When Kेलaili arrived, he handed him two whole cows roasted with Blackfyre, and then he started to spread out the map on his own.
"Controlling Deerhunting Town and the surrounding areas was our tactical goal this week, and it has now been successfully completed."
Ferrum looked at his companions and simply said, "Thank you for your hard work."
"It's not hard." Gax said immediately.
"Not bad."
Afterglow also said.
Kेलaili While chewing the cooked meat, he raised his head and glanced at the two of them, too lazy to talk to them.
These two guys, one is leading the Lesser Dragon group and the other is leading the Tungsten Dragon Nickel Dragon, flying around, is certainly not hard. He is the only one who leads the Cobalt Dragons and runs on the ground. In order to complete the daily progress, he is so tired that he is almost foaming at the mouth. Even with Archaic Species's strong energy and strong body, it is somewhat unable to support it.
Cobalt Dragon relies purely on magic to fly, but Heavy-Metal Dragon's thin magic power is completely unable to sustain the huge weight of Kेलaili. After the magic power is exhausted, even if he flaps his wings to create an afterimage, he cannot lift into the air for even half a minute.
Such a long-distance attack is simply a kind of torture for him. In contrast, Kेलaili would rather attack the Greyhawk City who are heavily guarded in the rear and fight head-on with the Tagoma people.
"Just think of it as strengthening your body, Bloodline Refinement." His companions could only comfort him in this way.
"This time War Council we are going to plan the next step."
Ferrum continued, "The army did not attack Agate City from the north, but cut in from the southeast and arrived at Deerhunting Town. I believe everyone has some doubts in their hearts."
"Is it to cover up tactical intentions?"
Jelierion asked, this is the answer Hidorivi got after analyzing Ferrum's decision.
"There is such an intention."
Ferrum nodded. "Our speed was fast enough. We relied on constant coercion and inducement to squeeze the family members to the limit and advanced five hundred miles in seven days. But I believe that the enemy is not completely unaware of our movements."
"Now that we have gone deep into the Tagoma Kingdom hinterland, the enemy's reconnaissance does not only rely on the naked eyes of scouts. The special abilities of summoning creatures, detecting guards, Divine Edict and even tracking Giant Dragon's scent may expose our movements. This is something we cannot guard against."
"However, even if they can grasp our movements, under the condition of high-speed advancement, it is difficult for the enemy to obtain our specific position and tactical intentions. They can only estimate based on our direction of travel and then take reactions. Each link in the reaction process takes time. This is our advantage and a reflection of our initiative."
"And after we arrived at Deerhunting Town, the legion's tactical intentions are now obvious."
Ferrum remembered Olysia's reaction at that time and continued, "We want to climb over Rushing Rapids Valley and attack Tagoma Southern Territories's Golden Grain City."
"Fake attack on Golden Grain City, then change the route to attack Agate City?"
Kेलaili thought briefly, "The terrain map given by Zane shows that Deerhunting Town North is a rocky mountain plateau that is difficult for the army to pass, and it is very difficult to climb over."
"It can't be said to be a feint."
Ferrum shook his head. "Vanguard Army, after clearing Golden Grain City's peripheral defenses, rested on the spot and maintained mobility. We gathered the infantry who arrived later and began to attack the city. If the enemy's defense is weak and things go well, we will directly capture the city."
"Instead of capturing Agate City, attack Golden Grain City?"
Juvenile Dragon We were all a little surprised. "The family's original strategic plan was not like this."
"Zane originally set Agate City as the attack target of the South army because Agate City is located at the junction of the Westerlands hills and the central plain, where all the main roads and rivers transporting food intersect. It is Tagoma After capturing the intersection where Royal Family sends troops to Westerlands, it is equivalent to cutting off the connection between Tagoma Royal Family and Westerlands."
Ferrum said slowly, "There is no strategic problem, but we have come all the way and fought dozens of times. We have clearly seen the quality of the Tagoma Kingdom's soldiers. Their army is more tenacious than the family imagined. This country has been fighting in the north and south for decades., from a small principality to a kingdom with a large territory, its power cannot be underestimated. I have every reason to believe that with the news that Giant Dragon has bypassed Greyhawk City, Agate City has entered a state of full preparation for war."
"Crashing into Battlefield, which the enemy had prepared for, is a huge disadvantage from both the perspective of a warrior and a commander. The family has the advantage and does not act according to their predictions. On the contrary, they should constantly mobilize according to our movements. We are noble dragons, and humans can only chase in the shadow of dragons."
"And Golden Grain City is a place where Southern Territories and Westerlands are interconnected. The population within the city alone is as high as hundreds of thousands. It is a very prosperous agricultural and commercial city. With this city, we will have the ability to fight for a long time within Tagoma."
Ferrum said, "On the other hand, if we occupy Golden Grain City, we can also cut off the connection between Southern Territories and Westerlands, Beoranz and Gilenstilna is known as the double-walled noble in Tagoma, and Southern Territories is the most powerful among the four regions of Tagoma. Their strength is similar to that of the Royal Family Corps."
"This reason is not enough to convince the family."
Jelierion listened quietly and shook his head. "Ferrum did not consider the political issues of the Short-lived Species country. If we attack and occupy Agate City, the main force we have to face is behind us. The Westerlands corps and the Royal Family corps coming for reinforcements, Southern Legion may send troops, maybe not, but if we attack Golden Grain City, then we will definitely face enemies from three places."
"In fact, I know more about human politics than you do. After getting the prisoner, I have a deep understanding of the Tagoma Kingdom's situation, not only the current situation, but also their history."
Ferrum replied, "The highest level of the Tagoma Kingdom is not the king, but Holy Temple. No matter Royal Family or local lords, they must obey the instructions of War Gods. Therefore, no matter which city we attack, reinforcements from all over the world will definitely come to attack, so there is no big difference."
"On the other hand, the king of Tagoma must be canonized by Holy Temple to be recognized, and the reason why the double-walled nobles are called double-walled nobles is because they take turns controlling the crown, Tagoma is now the king of Gilenstilna, but the previous generation was the king of Beoranz. The Southern Territories we attacked was also called Royal Domain twenty years ago."
"So you caught a princess?"
Afterglow's focus is obviously different from that of the male dragons.
"You can also say that she really wanted to sit in on this meeting and get to know you, but I refused." Ferrum continued the topic, taking advantage of the situation to ease the heavy atmosphere of War Council.
"Then, attack Golden Grain City."
Kेलaili said angrily that he didn't want to go back and forth anymore.
"I haven't finished speaking yet."
Seeing that the overlord was about to stand up and make a bold statement again, Ferrum immediately stopped him. "We will set off tomorrow morning to cross Rushing Rapids Valley and attack Golden Grain City, but the army does not need to Press them all up, but divide them into two units. One unit will follow Vanguard Army to attack, and the other unit will stay with Deerhunting Town to defend the supply line and wait for opportunities to block possible enemy reinforcements."
"The first big city we attack is bound to become a whirlpool, attracting all the surrounding armies. At this time, I not only want to see the situation of Golden Grain City, but also observe the reaction of Agate City. If Agate sends a large army to help, we are fully capable of attacking Agate City by virtue of our first move and speed advantage."
"In short, the current plan is to attack Golden Grain City first. Agate City's army leaves the city and then seizes the agate. If Agate City doesn't move, it will go straight to capture the Golden Spike. If the enemy hesitates, we will annihilate their regiments in the field. That is what the dragons most want to see."
Ferrum said, "It is also difficult for Gods to predict what decisions the enemy will make and grasp the people's hearts. However, we can take different measures according to the enemy's reaction. There are no static tactics in this world. All tactics and tactics should change according to the situation, that's it."
