Seeing the enemy's retreat, the Baltics began to attack frantically, but they were not carried away by the brief victory, and after seeing the follow-up troops rushing forward to meet them, they also stopped and returned to the camp to clean up the battlefield.

Cleaning up the battlefield is more about completely killing the wounded and pretending to be dead enemies, then leaving the corpses together, using magic to send the souls that wander not far from the corpses into the underworld, and then incinerate the corpses with blazing fire.

This was already a habit of the Baltic people, because the two knights of the Attila Empire, one was good at using corpses to spread plagues, and the other was good at using the undead to attack, it was already a well-known thing.

The caster then began to repair and reinforce the second and third layers of the wall, and as for the completely destroyed first wall, there was no longer any value to rebuild, only a neat row of holes were left in the ground, witnessing the cruelty of the previous battle.

While the Baltics were resting in an orderly manner, the defender of the battle, the commander of the Sixth Army of the Baltic Empire, was considering the next battle plan among the tents with the strongest defense in the center of the entire camp.

Of course, he was not thinking about how to defend next, because it was never a problem to defend alone, and the battle during the day today had shown that the Baltic were much more combative than the natives of the Urals, and that they would not be simply breached in any case when they occupied favorable terrain and had sufficient ammunition, bed ballistae, ballistae, catapults, etc.

What he needed to consider was whether to end the war in a short period of time and defeat the opposing coalition directly tonight, he already knew that the opponent's chain of command was still in a very primitive stage, more primitive than the coalition formed by the Scandinavians against the Attila Empire.

For example, let the intelligence personnel who have infiltrated them take advantage of the asymmetry of information to break the trust of various tribes, provoke their contradictions, and then detonate these contradictions at the appropriate time.

Another example is to directly behead the other party's commander, the woman named Goliath, presumably when the woman dies, the remaining tribal chiefs will fall into a long quarrel over this vacant position as commander.

Or send an elite unit to infiltrate the enemy's rear to attack the fragile tribes that have not enough warriors to defend themselves, forcing those frontline warriors to leave the front line of battle and return home to protect their tribes and relatives.

Whatever the situation, it will make the so-called coalition army extremely vulnerable, even to the point that it will naturally collapse without the attack of the Baltics.

To be honest, this is not a reciprocal war, and in the eyes of those with a clear understanding, this war has ended since it even began, because there is not much suspense.

In the end, all that may change is when, where, and by what means, and to what extent the Baltic Empire wants to win.

"Now, my dear herald, do we need a night attack tonight?"

If you can't make up your mind, listen to the ideas of the people around you, and maybe you can get inspiration to solve the dilemma in front of you.

Don't be superstitious about the power of individuals, what one person can do, ten people can do, and do it more easily.

Similar rhetoric has been circulating throughout the Baltic Empire, and has been echoed by many, including the commander of the Sixth Legion.

"Legionnaire, what is our goal?"

The herald did not answer directly, but asked another question.

"Well, I see what you mean. ”

The Legion Commander nodded slowly.

Their aim was to establish a city in the region and use the city to exploit the region's resources, to develop more deeply than commerce, and to move from economic and military aggression to politics and culture.

The purpose of weakening the various tribes in the Ural Mountains is essentially only incidental, and if the incidental purpose becomes the primary purpose, it is a real reversal of the cart.

Going on a night attack tonight, with the information provided by the intelligence officers, and the cooperation between the inside and the outside, there is no reason for failure in any case, but such a victory is only a tactical victory, which will lead to a strategic defeat and will thwart the plans of the Baltic Empire in this area.

The Legion Commander didn't want to be like Attila, but a series of victories brought the empire into collapse step by step, and finally failed because of this collapse.

However, today he had to expose those wooden giants in advance because of the other party's attack, which essentially disrupted his plan, allowing him to face up to the power of these natives of the Ural Mountains once again.

The Baltics did not attack at night, and neither did the native coalition forces in the Ural Mountains, although they claimed that they had won the day, successfully breaking through the enemy's first wall and destroying the tall wooden giants.

However, gaining this small defense still caused them heavy losses, the troll and ogre forces were almost completely wiped out, and the werewolves and orcs also suffered some losses, and the remaining number was no longer enough to attack as the main force.

The smell of herbs permeated the entire camp, and several witch doctors were boiling potions in huge iron pots in the middle of the camp, and several servants were distributing the potions to the wounded soldiers.

I don't know what kind of ingredients are used to make the potion smelled very bad, like the smell of a troll, but the wounded still pinched their noses and poured the potion into their mouths.

After drinking these potions, the wounded quickly entered into a dream, and then the wounds on their bodies began to heal rapidly, the broken bones began to regenerate, and the broken internal organs began to recover.

In the subject of potions, witch doctors are comparable to druids, alchemists, and witches, who are always able to concoct potions with strange and incomparable ingredients.

The fine wines that had been purchased from the Baltic merchants had been distributed, but of course they were diluted because of the lack of quantity, and they did not taste much of it.

Even so, however, the soldiers below were satisfied, and they hurried to their pleasures, numbing their nerves with alcohol, for they did not know whether they would survive the battle of tomorrow until the next night, or if they would be discarded as corpses under the city as those vanished faces.

They have not yet been thoroughly accustomed to such large-scale battles, they have not yet become accustomed to such a long period of war, they have been under the oppression of death for a long time, and in such a dull and heavy environment, they have no way to settle down in their hearts.

The soldiers knew that if they continued to maintain this condition, their bodies would become very tired tomorrow, and they would not be able to cope with the desperate battle with full strength, which was a very dangerous thing, but they had no way to control this.

"Morale isn't as low as I thought it would be, Goliath. ”

Levi whispered, he only felt the uneasiness of the soldiers, not the despair of the soldiers, because of the victory during the day, the soldiers still believed that they could break through the second and third walls and drive these invaders from the Baltic Empire out.

At this time, he and Golia were disguised as ordinary soldiers, walking in the camp, observing the situation of the soldiers below, hoping to get first-hand information about the day's battle from the mouths of these soldiers.

"Of course, no matter what, we won. ”

Goliath whispered as well, but at the top of the word victory, she accentuated her tone, no matter what the outcome, at least on the surface, this victory would have a positive effect on the army.

So, she won't deny this victory.

"Tomorrow's battle, do you think about how to proceed? ”

Levi asked in a whisper after cautiously looking around to make sure no one noticed them and that no one was eavesdropping.

"Shut up, don't ask that question here. ”

Goliath glared at Levi fiercely, then grabbed his hand hard, and walked forward quickly, and by the darkness of the night, no one noticed the crimson on the woman's cheeks with her head down.

"The other side is much stronger than we thought, and it is clear that they are not serious about fighting, but are just using this kind of battle to consume our soldiers, our living forces. ”

"Perhaps, this victory of ours was also given to us by them. ”

Golia gritted her teeth and whispered that she was very unwilling, but in addition to being unwilling, she couldn't think of any better way to solve the problem at this time.

"Why are they doing this? Give up a low-hanging victory. ”

Levi frowned, he hadn't thought of such a possibility, but no matter what the point of view, the Baltics should not have acted like this, because it was not their purpose.

"I don't know, maybe they just want to give us the courage to continue the war and launch the offensive, and maintain our courage with such a false victory. ”

Goliath and Levi discussed it a little, but in the end they could not come up with a result, because their values had been bound by past experience, making it difficult for them to understand what cultural aggression was and what political aggression was.

Sometimes, the progress of civilization brings about a gap that is difficult to cross, and all the people of the Northland are gradually assimilated into the Baltic people, and the original Celtic culture of the Celts, a large number of Baltic elements began to appear, and some of them even began to believe in the god of the Baltic people, the goddess of death without a god name.

Unable to come up with a conclusion, Goliath and Levi put the topic aside for the time being, and returned to their tents, where the guards sent the chiefs of the various tribes to come to a meeting about tomorrow's war.

No matter what the purpose of the other side is, they just need to respond to all changes with the same, break through the opponent's defenses layer by layer, kill the opponent's soldiers one by one, and completely annihilate the opponent in this land.

When the other party is all dead, the so-called plan becomes irrelevant.

Once all the tribal chiefs had arrived in the tent, and the caster wrapped it in an enchantment to ensure that the voices inside were not heard from outside, the meeting was officially convened.

As the initiator of the meeting and the moderator, Golia, first opened her mouth to ask the orc chieftain and the werewolf chief about the battle this morning, unlike the previous squad battle, today's battle was a real large-scale battle.

"They move very neatly, as if they were a huge machine, and everyone is a part of this machine, which is completely different from the enemy we used to fight. ”

The orc chief spoke first, he was fighting at the forefront of the battlefield today, although he didn't have too many injuries on his body, but he didn't kill a few enemies, because at the beginning, the weapon in his hand couldn't hurt the Baltic in heavy armor at all, and in the end, he still used the enemy's weapon to achieve the result.

"Well, in addition, their cooperation is very tacit, basically there will be no accidental injury, long-range archers and melee soldiers, alternately attack, even if it is one-on-one, you must be careful of the opposite long-range support. ”

The werewolf chief added that he had used his speed and agility to entangle the enemy at first, but was almost shot into a hedgehog by the enemy's rain of arrows.

"We also have to be careful with the crossbow arrows on the opposite side, the loading speed is very fast, and the hit rate is also very high, when we shoot at them, we are directly overwhelmed by the crossbow arrows. ”

The Gnoll Chieftain, whose tribe had been hit hard, also spoke at this time, and next to him, the Lizardman Chief also kept nodding in agreement, the Gnoll and the Lizardman were responsible for long-range support during the day, but before the wooden giants appeared and dealt them a heavy blow, they had been suppressed by the Baltics in the distance in the confrontation.

In fact, the situation is similar to that encountered by orcs and werewolves, and their attacks have nothing to do with the opponent's armor, and they can't even do the most basic way to break the defense, let alone cause damage to the other party.

"Something has to be done to solve this problem. ”

Other tribal chiefs also mean this, they can't even break through the defenses, such a war has no chance of winning from the beginning, no matter how much they don't care about the lives of their soldiers, they have to consider whether such a effort can be satisfactorily returned.
