"Where's the Conclave of Witches? How many troops have they gathered?" Sean was more concerned about the reaction of the new alliance's opponents.
"The Holt family in the South Island has dispatched six legions, totaling more than 30,000 people, while the Harrison family in the North Island has seven legions, totaling more than 35,000 people, stationed at the border. They are all elite mountain troops.
Soldiers, according to the latest intelligence feedback, the middle and low-level officers in these armies all have certain spell-casting abilities. It is unlikely that they are all warlocks, so we have reason to suspect that they are equipped with enchanted equipment, or something similar to combat skills.
Means." Ralph replied.
"As expected, when we saw their armored battleships, we should have expected this. We are not the only ones who are developing. I have reason to believe that this is not the full strength of the Witches' Conclave. They also hold other trump cards in their hands.
Maybe." Sean spoke highly of the Conclave of Witches.
After all, it is the headquarters of all the warlocks in the continent, the smartest group of people in the world.
When they showed off their armored battleships, Sean knew that his assessment was right.
In recent years, their influence in the Byron Alliance has obviously been inferior to that of the Holy Ether Church. The most fundamental reason should be that their main focus is not on the mainland, but like the Commons family, they have set their sights on
vast ocean.
If this is the case, their strength cannot be judged solely by the two military leaders of the Twin Peninsula.
"Sixty-five thousand to two hundred thousand, the disparity in strength is too great, especially since they need to defend two peninsulas. Once a full-scale war breaks out, the twin peninsulas are likely to be defeated individually." Relf looked unoptimistic.
.
"Ha..." Sean couldn't help laughing, "You are an expert in intelligence. When it comes to war, your point of view just now is too far off. War is not just a comparison of military strength. Come on, let me
Let me teach you a lesson."
Sean waved his hand, and a detailed military map of the Ashan continent appeared in front of the two of them.
With the flick of his fingers, this large military map was divided into two parts, with the Twin Peninsulas under the control of the Witch Conclave as the middle, and the left half was further enlarged.
"Look carefully at the topography of the Twin Peninsulas. Do you really think that the two peninsulas are isolated?" Sean clicked on the bay in the middle of the Twin Peninsulas and said, "You have ignored this place and the North Sea Fleet stationed here.
.
Unless the Commons family can defeat the Conclave's fleet at sea and blockade the Twin Bays, the Twin Peninsula is a whole. Their troops can be quickly moved between the twin islands, and the Twin Peninsula is a hilly and mountainous environment.
It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Over the years, the Witch Secret Society has been working here with great concentration, especially to guard against threats from the Holy See within the mainland. They have built at least a castle fortress no less than three floors deep. With only a small number of troops, they can form a layer-by-layer defense.
, to contain the enemy's large number of troops.
If they attack alone as you just said, they will definitely face the combined power of the two major families of the Twin Peninsula.
If the Twin Peninsula was really so easy to conquer, why would they go to such trouble to form a new army? They had already mobilized their own elite to launch a surprise attack on it.
If you want to capture the Twin Peninsulas, the new royal family has three strategies: upper, middle and lower."
"What three strategies?" Ralph asked very wisely.
"The best strategy is for the Holy New Army to adopt a double-faced army to press forward and contain all the ground troops of the Witches' Conclave. The Lancelot royal family will mobilize its own navy to join forces with the Commons family and the North Sea Fleet of the Witches' Conclave to conduct a sea battle.
.
Victory is a brilliant victory. The fleet directly enters the Twin Bays, completely cutting and isolating the Twin Peninsulas, leaving only a small number of troops to contain a peninsula. Concentrate superior forces and launch a full-scale attack through land and sea. I believe that it will take less than half a year.
If the twin peninsulas are eaten separately, if the sea battle is too badly defeated, the witch secret society will not even have a chance to retreat to the sea.
The defeat was only a small partial defeat. The North Sea Fleet, which had to defend the Twin Bays, did not dare to take advantage of the victory to pursue them. They retreated to the endless sea, regrouped, and came back again until they were defeated.
Although the armored battleship is powerful, its construction difficulty is also higher than that of ordinary battleships, and its technical content is not high. It is just made of resources. I believe that with the support of the new alliance, the Commons family will soon be able to imitate a similar one.
Iron-clad battleship.
This strategy also has an unexpected benefit, that is, they are all local wars at sea at the beginning, and the ground troops can withdraw at any time. Bystanders like us cannot easily intervene in the war.
However, in my opinion, this strategy is the most difficult to implement, not because it is unexpected, but because it cannot be implemented.
The Commons family is like a jackal. It's okay to let them bark and follow behind to eat carrion. But letting them act as the main force and charge into battle regardless of casualties, even if they are exchanged for huge benefits, is a possibility of cheating.
The sex is still very strong, and it is very possible to take advantage of it, but there is no effort at all.
If you are not careful, you will trap the few sailors in the hands of the new alliance.
This is a natural flaw brought about by their alliance of interests, and there is no way to overcome it." Sean's whole body exudes a light called wisdom, and if he shakes a feather fan, the feeling of giving advice will be even stronger.
"Where's the middle strategy?" Ralph thought thoughtfully, but didn't know how serious it was.
"The middle strategy is to cooperate with the sea and land. The Commons family approaches the Twin Bays and engages in a full-scale decisive battle with the Northern Fleet to contain their maritime power. The Holy New Army divides its troops into two groups, one heavy and one light. The light ones conduct feint attacks to contain them.
One army will lead the troops, while the other army will carry out the main attack, and first capture an island.
In this process, the virtual and the real are combined. Which road is the main attack and which is the auxiliary can be flexibly changed according to the defense situation of the Twin Peninsula. If the witch secret meeting mobilizes troops to support the feint attack, the feint attack side will immediately become an actual attack.
Once the Twin Peninsulas were eaten, the Witches' Conclave lost its roots on land and could only live in exile at sea like the Commons family.
This strategy is difficult to achieve a brilliant victory. Even if the Witches' Conclave temporarily retreats to the sea, they can make a comeback as long as the Byron Alliance falls into turmoil.
This strategy has a certain possibility of operation, but it is still not particularly high. The main question is whether the Commons family will show their true strength and assist.
Once they were just fishing in troubled waters, what seemed like a good strategy turned out to be a bad strategy. From beginning to end, the Holy New Army fought alone, and was eventually dragged into the quagmire of war by the Conclave of Witches.
If the war drags on for too long, this so-called new alliance will be in danger, and all the contradictions concealed by their strength will burst out and destroy them." Sean finally asked, "You understand this now
Is this the key to the war?"
"Understood, I will increase the intelligence collection work between the Commons family and the North Sea Fleet of the Witch Conclave, and pay close attention to their movements." Ralph said knowingly.
"Now that we know the key points, let's start executing them." Sean waved his hand and put away the military map.
Intelligence and the military itself are closely related. As the head of the Intelligence and Special Operations Department of the Evernight Army, Ralph may not be a military genius, but he cannot know everything. He must always focus on the core of the war.
King Lowry's new alliance adopts different tactics and strategies, and the Evernight Army leaders naturally respond in different ways.
If they could only make bad decisions, Yongye Army Leader wouldn't even need to do anything and just watch the fun.
"If there is nothing else, I will leave first." Ralph said.
"Go ahead." Sean nodded.
The reason why I didn't talk to Ralph about the situation on the Odin Prairie is because the situation there is special and it is difficult for the Hawkeyes to penetrate. In this regard, the newly established Air Force mainly conducts aerial reconnaissance, and Sean personally follows up.
.
After four years of fermentation, the Barzin Prairie, the former paradise of Odin's orcs, has turned into a dead realm. It is no longer a secret that a death kingdom has risen above it.
The situation originally envisaged by the leader of the Eternal Night Army, that Narentoya would lead her army of the dead and directly break through the Theodin Empire, did not happen.
There is no other reason, the laws of the planes themselves reacted.
The laws of this plane are still relatively sound and cannot be dismantled casually.
If the laws of planes were so weak, the whole world would have fallen apart countless times, and it would still be able to support itself until now.
The laws of planes have a relatively complete set of response mechanisms that respond according to the magnitude of the destructive force.
Originally, Sean thought that this reaction would rise in a curve, but judging from the situation in the East Odin Empire, this reaction mechanism was in the form of a staircase.
Once it is serious enough to completely break a certain law of plane law, it will trigger an extremely powerful response mechanism.
After Narentoya's death kingdom snowballed to a certain extent, it attracted a strong backlash from the laws of the plane.
The strongest manifestation of this rebound is that the concentration of the power of the Plane Law on the Odin Prairie is much higher than that of other places. The climate has become very abnormal. The total rainfall in the four years is less than one year in previous years. The weather is dry all year round.
Mostly hot.
The most direct consequences are that the land is dry and cracked, forage is scarce, famine is rampant, and people and animals are falling in pieces.
This place has become a real hell on earth. There are only two kinds of people here, the dead and the undead, but there are no living people. The East Odin Empire has completely become a thing of the past.
Don't think that this situation has no impact on the undead who don't need human food.
They were transformed from living people. If they cannot find living people in the world, neither the undead nor the undead soldiers will have a source of transformation.
This is only an indirect effect, there are also direct effects.
I don’t know if the plane laws are blessing the sunlight, or if there is something wrong with the undead themselves, and the lethality of the sunlight on them has been greatly increased.
Prolonged exposure to the sun will make them weak, and it can even kill them directly.
Immortal viruses become dead when exposed to light. When the condition is not particularly serious, exposure to the sun can turn it into an ordinary virus, making it easier to survive.
Even if it is killed by the immortal virus, if it is exposed to the sun for more than three days, the immortal virus will be killed if it loses the support of the host function. When the immortal virus dies, the power to imprison the soul will naturally no longer exist.
Naturally, it will no longer automatically transform into a wandering corpse.
Once the zombies no longer generate themselves, the threat level will be greatly reduced, and the tide of zombies in the East Odin Empire will naturally collapse.
The danger level of the Kingdom of the Dead led by Narentoya immediately dropped from the world-destroying level to the extremely dangerous level.
However, before the laws of the plane could form effective suppression, Narentoya's kingdom of death had expanded to a terrifying level, not only swallowing up all the territory of the Eastern Odin Empire, but also pushing the national border towards the direction of the Western Odin Empire.
More than a thousand kilometers.
Now, Narentoya's kingdom of death accounts for nearly two-thirds of the entire Odin Prairie.
The Theodin Empire, including the Miracle Peninsula, only occupies a little more than one-third.
Coincidentally, the City of Shadows, which has been annexed by the Eternal Night Army, is located underground on the border between the two. Sean has to carefully guard this place to prevent the undead from discovering its existence.
.
Once exposed, this place will inevitably face the siege of the Sea of the Undead. This place is really conducive to the residence of the undead. It is estimated that they are looking for such a existence in their dreams.
The goddess of night and winter standing behind Narentoya is also not an ordinary person. Perhaps she has accumulated rich experience in fighting the laws of the plane.
When the laws of planes counterattacked on a large scale, the undead came up with a way to deal with it - the Curtain of Darkness, which can also be called the Curtain of the Undead.
Skeleton pyramids made of various bones and souls form a huge magic circle, forming a curtain of black clouds that can directly block the sun. This curtain is formed by magic energy and cannot be blown even by strong winds.
scattered.
Under the curtain of the undead, it has naturally become a fertile ground for the undead.
Now that the undead army is dispatched, there will inevitably be a portable undead curtain accompanying it.
This game between the laws of the plane and the undead finally reached a delicate balance in this way.
The laws of the plane are unable to completely eradicate the undead, and its own operating mechanism does not allow this.
The most terrifying method of the undead has been greatly weakened, which at least allows people to see a glimmer of hope. Although the chance of eradicating them is very small, there is at least hope.
Since most of the energy was transferred to the construction of the Undead Curtain, the advancement of the Undead was greatly slowed down.
It gave the Theodin Empire a chance to breathe.
Although the territory of Theodin Empire has shrunk, its population has increased by one-third.
Most of the survivors of the East Odin Empire ran to the West Odin Empire and surrendered unconditionally.
Narentoya's kingdom of death claims to be able to make people live forever.
However, there are only a few people who are transformed into high-level undead and immortal immortals, and more people are transformed into cannon fodder for undead soldiers. Coupled with the natural fear of death, those who voluntarily surrender to her arms as a last resort are only a few, and most instincts are still
Escape.
For the Theodin Empire, a sudden increase in population was not only not a good thing, but also a huge burden.
When the West Odin Empire conquered the East Odin Empire, they were stabbed in the back by the Broken Mouth Blood Castle and subsequently suffered injuries. This showed up in the second year. Even though a large amount of loot was brought back from the East Odin Empire, that year
Winter is also particularly difficult.
In the end, it was not easy to get over it, and the planar law's method against the kingdom of death arrived.
This kind of targeting must be indiscriminate and large-scale, but no matter whether this grassland is in the hands of the Kingdom of Death, the Eastern Odin Empire, or the leader of the Eternal Night Army, it will all suffer from drought.
At least 50% to 60% of the grasslands controlled by the Theodin Empire cannot be grazed.
