This is a province located in the northern part of the Oath Hill. As the latitude goes north, a huge mountain rises above the land.
The mountainside is surrounded by clouds and mist, and its ridges continue to rise and fall toward the east, like the back of a giant dragon. Yes, this is the starting point of the Southern Dragon's Back Mountain Range. From west to east, it is the largest mountain range in the Southern Territory.
Every summer, when the moist atmosphere from the south travels all the way north, it will be blocked here and rain will fall, and the forests here are also particularly lush.
Standing on the top of the mountain surrounded by clouds and mist, the distant peaks emerge in the sea of clouds and mist. The scene is like a fairyland, beautiful and magical.
Lorraine Hill walked on the wet mountain road, moving forward step by step, and finally stood in a corner, overlooking the scenery among the clouds and mist.
Compared with the flat and rolling wilderness of Oath Hill, the terrain here is more dangerous, so she came to explore the situation in advance.
Very beautiful scenery.
The girl opened her hands and felt the changing wind and fog in the mountains. Her figure was looming in the clouds and mist, which worried the knights following below, fearing that the girl would suddenly disappear into the mist.
Closing her eyes and listening to the sounds of the wind and the atmosphere, Lorraine Hill's perception also followed the atmosphere and spread to this vast world. After a long time, she slowly opened her eyes.
A small black shadow suddenly floated down in the sky, and then landed beside the girl. It turned out to be a silverfinch delivering a message.
Opening the small piece of paper, Lorraine Hill realized that another group of troops had just captured Falfna, the former capital of the Baskar family.
Although it was a victory, it was only a small victory because this battle was extremely difficult and cost our side a lot of manpower.
At present, it seems that that team will not be able to come back for support in the short term.
Putting away the letter, Lorraine Hill analyzed the current situation.
The empire's leader in countering the rebellion is Bazel, who has now gathered nearly 300,000 troops and is heading south in a mighty manner, preparing to annihilate his own side in one fell swoop.
However, despite all its efforts, our own side could only scrape together around 180,000 personnel, and more than 60% of them were new recruits.
The battle must be limited to favorable positions and use one's own advantages to win.
If it were a head-on collision in a vast wilderness, it would be extremely difficult for your side to win, and it is currently not possible.
The best choice is to lead the opponent into the mountains and forests and divide the troops continuously.
Although the equipment on our side is inferior to that of the opponent, heavy equipment such as artillery, giant crossbows, and muskets will be greatly weakened in the mountains and forests. At this time, we can only use the dense terrain of this area.
While thinking, Lorraine Hill began to formulate a plan in his mind and clarify his thoughts.

On the other side, in the marching team where Bazel is.
Maroon and gold-colored flags lined the avenue, and there was no end in sight for the walking procession.
On a heavy and tall war horse, Bazel carried a battle ax and rode forward, followed by a group of knights also riding horses.
These knights wear heavy armor, with maroon blouses on the breastplates in front of them. They hold shields in one hand and "long-handled hammers" in the other hand. These hammers are as heavy as lead and can easily break through the armor.
Let the other person die.
At this time, a witch wearing gray and white clothes was riding a horse, and then stopped beside Bazel.
"Sir, I have something to report."
"Say it."
Bazel answered nonchalantly.
"It's about the war situation in the south," the witch explained.
After several days of fierce fighting, the city's defenders finally collapsed from exhaustion, while the Dryad soldiers gradually gained the upper hand, until the Empire's garrison was finally cleared.
"If this is the case, it will have no impact on our plan." Bazel waved his hand.
"As long as the core is captured and the main force is eliminated, those below will flee in all directions."
"In addition, I hope you can explore the terrain of Silver Peak for me. It will be of great use in the future."
"Yes, sir." The witches temporarily retreated, and soon after, more birds took off from the forest, crossing the undulating mountain roads, thinking about heading towards the mountains shrouded in clouds and mist.

Southern Islands, Yefeng Island.
The ship carrying Ling Xin, Lan Lier, and Wei Miya just stopped at the port, and several people walked off the deck happily.
"Huh, although we are still at the last stop before the mainland, we are almost there now. There are familiar looks everywhere."
Lan Lier was finally able to vent the boredom and boredom of sailing at sea during this period, and began to happily rush into the bustling streets.
"There is also a branch of Carites here, so we can take a break here." Ling Xin walked in front of Wei Miya and introduced this place to her.
"Ye Feng Island? I seem to have heard of it before." Wei Miya tucked away the messy hair beside her ears and looked at the island again.
"Where did Wei Miya grow up before?" Ling Xin occasionally asked curiously.
"On the sea, that is, in the center of the endless sea."
"I heard that it is very dangerous there. Not only are there huge tides and wind waves, but there are also huge whirlpools under the water. Once the ship sinks to a certain bottom, it will gradually fill with water and then become completely silent." Ling Xin said what she heard.
Some things arrived.
"Well, actually there are very few people living there, and I also depended on my seniors for life." Wei Miya recalled the past.
"But I gradually got used to it. In fact, I am not afraid of loneliness." The mermaid lady explained seriously.
Then the two talked about their hometowns and old stories between their classmates.
…
"Actually, we were entrusted by our friends to come back to you. I don't know if you are really willing." Ling Xin felt a little regretful when she thought of not having a good communication with the blue-haired girl along the way.
At that time, she was immersed in the study of the Pearl Witch and wanted to understand the reason why she would not age for the time being.
"I know, it's Luo Lan." Wei Miya smiled.
"I believe Luo Lan. If she personally asked you to come to me, it must be something very important."
"Even she can't handle it and needs help. It seems like this situation is very unusual."
Even before returning to the mainland, Wei Miya roughly guessed the problems faced by Lorraine Hill. If it was just an ordinary matter, the star witch would naturally not come to trouble her. But since she took the initiative to come to her this time, her opponent
It's almost certain that they are either witches or sages.
But now that the strength of the Sage Association has not been fully restored, there is no way to offend a witch like this, so if you think about it for a while, you can guess that the opponent must be a witch too, and there is more than one.
If Keti was still here, Luo Lan wouldn't have gone to such trouble to find him.
Where is the red-haired flame witch now? Although I will feel a tingling sensation when I come into contact with her, I have to say that in the eyes of Vimiya, Keti is still a very cute companion.
