At a glance, the map of Qilin Continent looks like mountains and plains transforming into each other... The Jingxue Mountain across the north is a huge winding mountain range. The peaks there are steep and snow-covered all year round. The scene is even more dangerous than the Cangji Mountains.
Landing from the northern coast, it would be difficult for ordinary people to reach the Morning Grassland by walking non-stop for a month in the Crystal Snow Mountains. Because of this, the fertile grasslands of Qilin Continent were only revealed a thousand years ago.
However, snow all year round and lack of food are not the biggest problems of Jingxue Mountain. Its biggest difficulty lies in the steep peaks. The first thing you face when landing are mountains nearly a thousand meters above sea level. Only after climbing these peaks can people
keep going.
It seems that the alliance commanders have no intention of landing from Crystal Snow Mountain.
"We have fought several times in the Crystal Snow Mountain in the past. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack... It is impossible to defeat it without paying ten times the casualties."
"Jingxue Mountain was called the Snow Tomb by our ancestors. It is difficult to supply logistics, not to mention the avalanches that can be seen everywhere..."
"I've also heard that the Emerald Empire once caused an avalanche, drowning tens of thousands of soldiers in an instant!"
In the main camp, the commanders loudly talked about the horror of Jingxue Mountain, which made Xia Han, a former member of the Jade Empire, feel a lot of pressure. However, as they said, Jingxue Mountain had no value in sending the main army.
It is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and it is simply the best place to bury large troops.
"Well, the main battle is decided to invade from both sides of the Dawn Grassland...the main army will not enter the Crystal Snow Mountain. The work of rescuing and uniting the Crystal Snow Tribe will be solved by special forces composed of mages and some flexible professions."
Bai Hui reached out and drew a circle in the north of Qilin Continent, then raised his head and asked around him: "Do you have any objection to this arrangement?"
Standing next to Bai Hui, Qin Huang, the mage leader of the Sky Temple, nodded: "These jobs are indeed more in line with the mage style... I have no objection to the allocation."
"Then there is still the issue of distribution of things..." Bai Hui hesitated for a moment, then put down the quill in his hand: "What are your plans."
Deciding to launch an attack from both sides of Dawn Grassland means a frontal war, which will cause a lot of casualties at first. However, as long as you can gain a foothold by capturing the port, logistics and future situations will tend to be simpler.
However, the east side of Dawn Grassland is where the capital of the Emerald Empire is located, and it now also functions as the capital of the Orcs. Although the Orcs have also established a new port on the west side, from intelligence, its defense is far inferior to that of the restored Emerald City.
.
"Why split up and just blast those orcs away from the west!"
A young general came out and his proposal was approved by most people.
"I want to go east." However, Xia Han said in a very ignorant manner: "My people want to take back their homeland as soon as possible, and I want to be the first to take back the Emerald City for them."
"His Majesty..."
Xia Yun, who was standing behind him as a follower, looked at him in astonishment.
【Is this guy stupid?】
[Sure enough, he is still a child, and he can even do things that seek his own death!]
The other generals looked at each other and lamented Xia Han's stupidity in their hearts - but this matter was in their interests. The Xia army on the east coast could not only serve as cannon fodder but also attract the attention of the orcs, reducing the pressure on the west coast.
Only Bai Hui glanced at Xia Han with deep meaning, and then said to the others: "Does anyone else have any opinions?"
The remaining people all chose the west, and they all tended to break through from the west coast and go inland.
"Well, that's good... the Xia army will be responsible for harassment on the east side, and the other legions will work together to open the stronghold!" Bai Hui made his decision, and the main force rushed to the west coast. No matter how strong the orcs' defense was, they could still establish the stronghold.
But Xia Jun turned from attacking to harassing, which made others a little dissatisfied.
"I will occupy the Emerald City, and then march to the Dawn Grassland to join the large army." Xia Han said this, and he turned to face the other commanders: "If you give me more food and supplies, I am willing to issue a military order!
"
The whole tent made a loud noise.
"I have long heard of His Majesty's deeds of fighting against the enemy alone, and today I saw that he is truly worthy of his reputation!"
"Your Majesty's courage is admirable...I am willing to hand over some of the first batch of supplies from the legion to you!"
"We are also willing to relieve His Majesty's worries."
As soon as they heard the military order, the other commanders smiled and agreed to Xia Han's request, and then watched him issue the military order.
————
After the sunset rose, Xia Han took a few people back to Xia Jun's camp.
"Looking at today's situation, the Pope is the commander-in-chief of the alliance, but his power is not as great as imagined!" He looked up at the fiery red clouds and sighed: "The military power of each legion is still in the hands of the six countries. If something happens in the future,
Decision-making conflicts...what happens?”
"His Majesty."
The pale-faced Ji Bai interrupted him. This general, who was over mid-year-old, was originally at the Xia Army camp. He rushed over because he heard bad rumors, but he could only catch up with Xia Han's military order: "Your Majesty, are you still here?"
Hate us?"
Xia Han raised his eyebrows: "Why do you say that?"
"Because I don't understand your Majesty's decision." Ji Bai tightened the reins in his hands and tried his best to hide the anger in his heart: "Why did your Majesty let Xia Jun leave the main army? Why did he go to the most dangerous place?"
Xia Yun remained silent. She believed in her brother, but it was difficult to accept this matter.
Xia Jun's attack on the impregnable Emerald City alone is not much different from seeking death?
"Idiot... If we are with them, we will fight in the front. This war will start with head-to-head confrontation. Where there are many people, there will be more enemies." Xia Han turned around and looked at the two people helplessly: "If we fight with the main force,
If the legions are together, they will have to face the orcs who are far outnumbered in the front line, and they will be the first suicide squads to wash ashore... What a joke!"
In fact, Xia Jun fought the same battle no matter where he went, but acting alone would make the orcs prepare fewer people to resist. I don't know if these were Xia Han's real reasons, but he first had to convince these two people to obey.
"But if this is the case... wouldn't the harassment mentioned by His Majesty the Pope be better?" Xia Yun soon asked after Ji Bai.
"He said harassment. Those commanders felt uncomfortable hearing it. How could they let us enjoy the benefits?" Xia Han shook his head, and then a cunning light flashed in his eyes: "So I played a word game and said that I would occupy the Emerald City..."
"But I didn't say a time limit, right?" He laughed: "I can wait until others conquer the Dawn Grassland and most of the orcs in Emerald City have escaped before occupying it..."
Ji Bai and Xia Yun were both stunned, and then looked at each other: This answer... is so shameless!
In a serious and solemn combat meeting, every general meant what he said. People like Xia Han who act clever in public have never appeared before. They are also the blind spot of every commander - who would have thought that this would happen.
How about someone giving up their dignity to play word games and do such a despised thing?
"But Your Majesty, this kind of thing is too easy to leak, and your dignity..."
"So...it depends on you all, how to stage a real scene...while reducing casualties and not being suspected by the world." Xia Han turned his head, his smile looked unusually bright to his two subordinates: "This is not me.
The problem is also a problem of the dignity of the Jade Empire and Xia Jun."
"Work hard, I've prepared the food... It just depends on how you perform and stall for time."
