"According to our investigation, the city where Gondor awakens is mainly divided into three areas."
"The north, a military city cluster built around the northern defense line."
"Because the northern defense line is mainly a military city, all kinds of large and small military cities are built around it."
"These cities are mainly located on the southern communication line of the northern defense line."
"It is mainly fortified, and most of the low-level military strongholds were occupied very early, and then abandoned and reduced to ruins."
"There are also some military strongholds close to the Green Sea Alliance's headquarters, which are under the control of the Green Sea Alliance."
"There are mainly eight remaining uncontrolled military strongholds, all of which are fortress-like strongholds, and the quality has all reached the orange level."
"It extends from the northern defense line to the center of Gondor."
"After the forces within these military strongholds awaken."
"It has begun to encroach on the surrounding territory."
"Relying on these eight orange military fortresses, these neutral forces have completely controlled the passage from the northern defense line to central Gondor."
"It's just a strange thing. After they control this passage, they can launch attacks on us from the Green Sea Alliance and the Demon Suppression Alliance."
"But the legions in these strongholds chose to defend the city and did not continue to expand their power."
In the Lord's Hall, Vanas and Blainey, who had just returned, were standing in front of the map.
Telling about the new information obtained.
Fang Yuan looked at the information points they marked on the map.
"This road controlled by the awakened neutral forces basically cuts off the passage between our northern border and Lamo City."
"In other words, if we want to go south, do we have to capture all the strongholds on this road?"
Fang Yuan asked.
"Yes, this road is in the south, blocking the road south from the Barony and Ogre Hills."
"Suppressing the Demon, the Red Flame Alliance now has no way to send troops south from the land."
"It's on the east side, blocking our way eastward."
"If these awakened legions have plans against us."
"We can also launch attacks from the south and east."
"The south side is fine. We captured a military territory before."
"The Demon-Suppressing Alliance can still resist for a while by relying on this orange military leader."
"But in the east, only the Green Sea Alliance is stationed."
"If the high-level legions in the northern defense line join the battle, the Green Sea Alliance's strength will not be able to stop the main legions among them."
"At that time, we can only retreat to the territory."
"And in this way, the war will be fought from the outside to the inside."
"We can only defend passively and have lost the right to take the initiative to attack."
Brainy replied quickly.
After Fang Yuan thought for a moment, he walked to the map and marked two points in the two directions that Brainy just mentioned.
"So if we want to fight."
"We must first seize this road."
"Get it through!"
"So, Brainy, what do you think we should do?"
Brainy said neatly without thinking.
"Two tactics."
"The first is to focus on the south as the main attack direction and concentrate the army southward."
"Quickly capture the southern military stronghold and hold it firmly."
"Then fight from south to north."
"Capture the military strongholds along the way."
"Finally, the army was stationed under the northern defense line."
"Rely on the Green Sea Alliance for supplies and storm the northern defense line."
"At the same time, we can also send troops from the direction of the Bloodline Castle, and attack together from both front and back."
"Until we capture the northern defense line."
Fang Yuan nodded and then said.
"What about the other plan?"
"Is the Green Sea Alliance the main attack direction?"
Brainy nodded.
"The main force is stationed in the Green Sea Alliance, and troops are sent to cut off the connection between the northern defense line and other military fortresses."
"Hold the attack from the northern defense line, while the army moves south and captures the military fortresses along the way. Then, defend the military fortress in the south, and then mobilize the army to go north for a decisive battle."
After hearing the two plans, Fang Yuan began to pace in the hall.
After a moment, he stopped.
"Both plans must first capture the military fortresses along the way."
"We still have to defend the military fortress in the south. Are we worried about reinforcements from the south?"
Brainy nodded.
"Yes, Your Excellency Lord, I said before that the city cluster that still exists in Gondor is mainly divided into three parts."
"The first part, as I just said, is the military stronghold of the northern defense line."
"The second part is close to Harvest City around the Silver Wolf Mountains to the west."
"This was the largest city group in Gondor during the Old World."
"Located in the Harvest Plains, it is the main production area of Gondor. To the east, you can reach the ports along the Lamo River."
"To the west, you can go to the West Coast Plains."
"Going north, the food transported can support the northern defense line and trade with the grassland orcs at the same time."
"And to the south is the city complex of the royal capital of Gondor."
"According to our investigation, the city cluster with Harvest City as its core should be the largest existing resource cluster in Gondor."
"Because this area suffered the least damage compared to other places."
"For example, along the Lamo River, after experiencing the disasters of the Blue Star Lord and the undead, many prosperous territories have long been reduced to ruins due to repeated battles."
"Except for the city of Rameau along the coast, there are no big cities left."
"The quality of the remaining territories has already dropped below purple due to constant changes in hands."
“The value of occupation is low.”
"And the area around the royal capital has been ruined due to the Blue Star Lord's attack in the early years."
"Even the vassal territories in the Dukedom of Plantagenet and the Dukedom of Thorns are no longer available for use. That is to say, there are only two territories directly under the Dukes."
"Coupled with the royal city, there are three relatively valuable territories."
“But it’s different on the Harvest Plains.”
"Because it is located in a mountainous plain, and Harvest City happens to be built at the entrance of the valley into the plain."
"Its strength is no less than that of the dukedom, so it has never been breached."
"The large and small territories within it are well preserved."
"Even due to the influence of the fog, part of it may be ruined and become the territory of monsters."
"But there should be a considerable part of the territory that has been preserved. If we can capture this place, we will definitely get a contiguous resource territory."
“And there’s definitely no shortage of orange.”
"The largest Harvest City among them may also be the golden resource territory."
"But that's exactly what it is."
"We also have to worry that when we attack the northern defense line, troops from Harvest City will be sent north to support us."
"That's why I said that heavy troops must be stationed in the military fortress built in the south."
"The purpose is to guard against the support from Harvest City."
"Another point is that Harvest City has sent troops to support us, so is it possible that the Royal Capital will also send troops to support us?"
"If the royal capital sends high-level legions, they will then join the legions from Harvest City."
"Your Excellency, we are in danger of falling into a two-front war."
"Therefore, there must be legions stationed at the military stronghold in the south that can handle it."
After listening to Brainy's analysis, Fang Yuan did not express his position.
He looked at Christian and Aria beside him.
"What's your opinion?"
Aria thought for a moment and said.
"Braney is right."
"Both plans, no matter which one they are, quickly capturing eight military strongholds is the key to determining victory or defeat."
"With these eight military strongholds, we can use the troops within them to continuously move south and north."
"It's just that I prefer the second plan."
"Send troops from the Green Sea Alliance to fight a decisive battle at the northern defense line first."
"After winning, go south and seize eight military territories."
At this time, Christian also spoke.
"I also agree with Brainy's second plan."
"Because if we use the first plan."
"When we attacked the eight military territories, our strength was concentrated in the south."
"The Green Sea Alliance is unable to stop the northern defense line from moving south."
"By then, when we attack the eight military territories, the northern defense line army will be able to support us from behind."
"Then the progress of the attack will be extremely slow. Once the battle goes wrong, there will be reinforcements from Harvest City later."
"This is about being attacked from both sides."
"And if we use the second plan."
"The troops are divided into two groups."
"Concentrate the main force to capture the strongholds close to the northern defense line first, and wait for the reinforcements within the northern defense line for a decisive battle."
"At this time, the second legion can storm the southernmost military fortress and move it south."
"Use force from two directions, cut off the head and tail, and first cut off the connection between the six military buildings in the middle and the north and south."
"Wait until the north wins the reinforcement battle against the northern defense line."
"You can then calmly send troops to attack from both sides and capture the six military fortresses in the middle."
"When the time comes, we will concentrate our efforts to upgrade the levels of these fortresses."
"We can get a large number of cannon fodder soldiers."
"It can be used to defend the south, or it can be used as cannon fodder to attack the northern defense line."
"Even though the follow-up war was in turmoil, the attack from the north was blocked and the south was attacked by reinforcements."
"We don't need to worry too much, because even if we can't win, we can still hold the line of defense with the huge number of soldiers."
"This is already invincible."
What Christian said made Fang Yuan inclined to the second attack plan.
But there is another important point here.
"If we just do this, who should we send to capture the military stronghold in the south?"
"The northern defense line is nothing short of a golden stronghold, and the golden legion must be indispensable."
"We must concentrate our main force to stop them."
"Then the south will lack enough power to quickly capture the southernmost military fortress."
"If the battle in the south fails, this war will be over before it even begins."
To this.
Christian pointed directly at Dragon Knight Fiona.
"she goes!"
"Let Fiona bring the golden dragon eagle knights and the main force of the four subordinate alliances to attack."
"If your lord is still not at ease, you can dispatch Meg's Legion of Holy Light to join the battle."
"There are no more undead along the Lamo River now."
"If we can win it in one day, it won't be a big deal for Rameau City."
"After all, the ninth-level Lamo City has so many wind mages and magic warriors stationed there. It is impossible for it to be breached in one day."
Fang Yuan nodded.
"It makes sense, but the stakes are high."
"I'm going to send Hogg from the south to join the battle."
"He will lead the original Blood Forest Giant as the main force in the siege."
"With the giant's huge body, coupled with the treatment of the Holy Light Legion, and the assistance of the Dragon Eagle Knight, it shouldn't be too difficult to attack the city."
Christian thought for a moment and replied.
"It's not impossible, it's just that in this case, only the barbarian priests will be stationed at the Caiyun League station."
"There are monsters from the West Coast Mountains over there. They have been active recently."
"Your Excellency, you still need to strengthen the defense over there."
"It's best to recruit another hero and go south to assist the barbarian priests in garrisoning."
Christian's advice makes sense.
"It's also a plain terrain over there."
"It's best to recruit a unit with greater mobility."
"It's just that I don't have this rare thing in my hand."
And soon, Fang Yuan remembered the golden items rewarded by the Golden Legend achievement.
"The Dragon Eagle Knight previously rewarded me with a golden treasure chest."
"The follow-up war master talent has rewarded another one."
"As for Dragon Knight Fiona, the reward is a golden forbidden curse scroll."
"Now this war is destined to be a blitzkrieg. All these things are opened to enhance strength."
Thinking of this, Fang Yuan had an idea and opened all three items.
And he looked at the luck buff on his body and saw that it had recovered.
Fang Yuan then picked up the golden forbidden curse scroll.
"It's random. You won't know what type of forbidden curse scroll it is until you open it."
"Just show me your true face."
Fang Yuan clicked to open.
next moment.
A message popped up from Lord's Mark.
"Ding, you opened the seal of the random forbidden curse scroll and obtained the withering field of the golden wood forbidden curse scroll."
I'm suffering from heat stroke. I'll make up for the missing chapter later.
