Several of the marked places were known to Cyril, such as the Tulip family territory in the human race, which was located at the junction of three major states and occupied land spanning the Alexia, Natasha, and Sri Lanka states.
Dunley State has three adjacent borders. Therefore, the territory of the Tulip family is generally a blooming three-petal flower pattern. Even if Cyril has never been there, he can recognize it by this.
What Cyril knows is that the other two places marked by Aranza, or the other two forces, are not within the human land. One is the elves on the Field of Hope to the north of the human land, and the other is the human race.
To the south of the earth, there is a piece of orc land close to Kabulan Fortress.
The former is because Dolores is still a member of the Thorn Mercenary Group and is now in the Elf Land, and the latter is because of the Orc Hammer Tribe Chief, Golden Bull Head, who has had several encounters with Aranza.
Man, Mondo.
"These……"
Cyril's fingertips crossed these three places, and when he was about to say something, he saw Aranza crossing them out one by one. So she felt a little confused and asked: "Why were they marked and then crossed out?"
"Well, some of these forces may be willing to ally with us, but it may not be a good thing for us. Others have no possibility of alliance."
Aranza smiled at Cyril and patiently explained in detail, "First of all, it's Elf soil. To be honest, the only Elf we know is Dolores... We don't know her identity among the Elf clan.
Therefore, the alliance with the elves is a gamble in itself. Betting on Dolores's voice among the elves. I have a feeling that her identity is unusual... However, the elves are far away from the Kay State. Even if we win the bet,
, it is not an easy task to move the Elf army here... Alpha is not like the fools of the Mercenary Guild, who let us open the large magic teleportation array, and the airship cannot withstand such a long journey, you know
, there may not be many city towers willing to replenish our airship along the way."
"The second is the Orcs. The Orcs are also in the middle of a civil war now. According to recent intelligence, Mundo has occupied most of the Orcs' land. I think if we send an invitation to it, it will definitely have the power to respond to us, but...
Even if I'm desperate, I won't use this method of luring a wolf into the house. As for the Tulip family, well... I don't know why, but if they were willing to support us, they wouldn't have to wait until now. Moreover, the Tulip family is still in mutual relations with the Lane family.
In the non-interference stage, I think the current head of the Tulip family, um, Duke Cora Tulip, will not go to war with the Lane family because of me."
Cyril finally digested Aranza's words, and her eyes fell on other places marked by Aranza, which she did not recognize. She said: "Then the rest..."
"Well, I originally wanted to consider it, but..."
He raised the corner of his mouth, stretched out his hand, and erased several marked points on the magic map, saying, "Now, these are not considered."
On the dark blue magic map, there is only one orange marked point.
Tianji State is already the territory of the snow elves. These guys who call themselves "Awakeners" have now fallen silent after a period of crazy expansion. But silence often means not dying, but dormant.
"This is... Yvette?!"
Cyril's eyes were fixed on the points on the map. After a long time, she suddenly remembered what this place represented, and she seemed a little surprised.
"Um?"
Aranza looked at Cyril with some confusion and asked: "Well, is it strange?"
"no……"
Cyril shook his head and said, "It's just...a little unexpected."
"Well, I'm also surprised by what I think."
Aranza laughed, with a rare look of complacency on his face, and said: "Although Yvette betrayed us, we still understand her. At least, I know that she has the same enemy as us, the Lane family...
Haha, she will definitely not miss this opportunity."
"but……"
Cyril interrupted him. She had learned to stretch the direction of her thinking and said, "But isn't this also inviting the wolf into the house?"
"wrong."
Aranza shook his head. He even walked over and knocked Cyril on the head with his hand, saying, "Well, the wolf was already indoors. We just woke it up and gave it a direction."
Cyril's face turned red, and the idea of strategy that had finally arisen was instantly knocked out.
After confirming the plan, Aranza did not take action immediately. Although he knew that Yvette was in Snowman City in Skyrim State and in the snow elf ruins under the Luohan Mountains, with Aranza's current strength, he did not want to see Yvette.
Difficult. But he needs to submit this plan to Kim Gates and Old Follett for analysis. He will not go to see her until they think it is feasible.
The process of war will not stop.
After the Lions of the Lane Family parachuted into Elan City, some disturbances finally appeared in Kay State. The Lions did not launch an offensive immediately, but spent a whole week to prepare for their military forces around Elan City.
The camp was well fortified, and during this week, the Norland Army would naturally not sit idly by. After Mirok led the third legion of the Norland Army into Sophie City, they did not stay for too long. After supplies,
The whole army went to Deyun City, northwest of Sophie City. Deyun City was close to the northern border of Kaye State. Milok was transferred here to prevent the Lion Army from advancing along the northern border and opening up in the other direction of Kaye State.
Entrance.
Haru, the "war fanatic" who was originally guarding Noland City, used a magic teleportation scroll to reach Enkara City behind Sophie City. Enkara City, as the original center of Kayi State, has an important strategic location.
When Gates and Old Follett first deployed their troops, they agreed to deploy four legions with a total of 12,000 men in Encala City. In this way, these four legions could defend the city when retreating and support major cities when advancing.
After Haru arrived at Enkara City, he did not stay too long. He took away 3,000 people from the fourth legion of the Norland Army, but entered the Sophie City that Milok had just left. The task of defending the city was still handed over to him.
The morning light in Sophie City, and the purpose of Haru's coming here is to destroy the fortification construction work of the Lion Army.
Haru perfectly demonstrated his war talent during these seven days, and was worthy of the title of "War Fanatic". He split the Fourth Army of the Norland Army into several guerrilla groups, and on the first attack against the Lion Army
One day, he set up a fight with his opponent.
This is a branch camp of the Lions Army located in a certain direction of Yilan City. When the first guerrilla group with only a hundred people brazenly attacked the Lions Army, the Lions Army really gave this first official meeting.
Paying enough attention to it, he mobilized almost all the Lion Legion soldiers who were in the direction of the attack to intercept the guerrillas.
But just as the Lions were mobilizing their strength, another huge guerrilla force of a thousand people appeared from the other side and rushed towards the defenses that the Lions had not yet fully built. The original one hundred people
, but turned around and ran away.
The officers of the Lion Legion immediately realized that they had been trapped in a trap, so amidst bursts of shouts, the soldiers under their command turned around again and rushed towards the sudden appearance of a thousand people.
The battle between the two sides lasted only a few minutes, but they were evenly matched. The thousand-man guerrillas of the Norland Army were all veterans, and even though the standard armor of the Lion Army was of high quality, the equipment of the Norland Army was superior.
However, in contrast, neither side gained anything. Just one collision left dozens of corpses behind.
And a few minutes later, Haru's carefully prepared surprise for the Lions had just begun. In the direction of the original attack of a hundred people, there were violent sounds of horse hooves again, but it was a cavalry team of two thousand people.
Rush towards both sides of the war!
The thousand-man guerrillas of the Norland Army immediately broke away from the battle and retreated along the same route. Behind them, the cavalry pierced the enemy's center like a sharp long knife!
Haru was not reluctant to fight. After leading the cavalry to complete an insertion, he immediately turned around, led his troops to keep up with the guerrillas, pulled them on horseback, and evacuated at full speed.
In this battle, nearly 500 soldiers in this sub-camp of the Lion Legion lost their combat effectiveness, and many more soldiers suffered varying degrees of combat effectiveness.
However, the Noland Army only paid a price of about 300 men. If the cavalry team led by Haru were not all new recruits on the battlefield, the price could be reduced a lot. After all, veterans who are accustomed to the battlefield and those who are new to the battlefield
The new recruits are different. When the cavalry pierces the unprepared infantry, the cavalry has the advantage. However, the hesitation and hesitation of some recruits makes the charge formation a little messy, so that the opponent seizes the flaw, which leads to
Killed over a hundred people.
But a sword that is sharp enough needs to be sharpened with blood. Regarding the losses in this battle, both Haru himself and Aranza, Kim Gates and others who received the news later were slightly surprised.
, but not surprised.
After the first day of fighting, Haru naturally chose the tactic of exploiting every opportunity. Several guerrilla groups were roaming around the outskirts of Yilan City, but they no longer attacked the opponent's camp, but instead singled out patrols and reconnaissance teams to attack.
According to Haru, the first collective attack was to share a big cake with the recruits, and subsequent activities were to let them cook their own small cakes.
In the case of overwhelming numbers, although the Norland army inevitably lost some soldiers, they all gained a lot. Many Norland soldiers finally ate cakes that made them feel a little nauseous, and some were unlucky.
The poor bastards became the ingredients in the enemy's cake.
When we put aside military supplies and strategic gains in war, the actual gains are determined by the number of enemy deaths.
