Chapter 30: The Considerations of Vanogis
Is it worth it for the Sea Clan to attack the port of Cankula?
This is the problem that Vanogis has been considering, unlike the belligerent and radical Dagrek, he has been weighing the possible consequences and necessity of this war, because of the victory of the Poseidon Scepter and the Saran Empire is definitely worth it for the Sea Clan, but the war does not mean war, in order to worry that the Saran Empire will be the first to disclose the corpse of the Sea Clan nobles, they choose the wicked to sue first, and the purpose of the war now is to make the outside world think they are justified.

The benefits of this are obvious, the Sea Clan will not be at odds with the entire human world, and the disadvantage is that the war attrition and possible deterioration of the war will even expose the existing combat strength of their own army, exposing the strength will play a deterrent role for weak countries, but for powerful countries, it is possible to develop targeted tactics, although Vanogis does not know it yet, but the defeat of Noval illustrates this.
Military orders are like mountains, as a general, it is natural to carry out the above tasks, whether it is Norval or Dagrec or Vanogis can not control the future of the country, because they are only relatively powerful flags, and the fate of the Sea Clan is naturally held in the hands of the emperor and a small number of high-level people, although on the surface they are ruling the race with divine rights, but the Sea Clan who can reach the level of a general will naturally not blindly believe this statement, after all, the successive Sea Clan emperors have regarded themselves as the sons of the sea god Scankulos, and whether this kind of thing is true or not, most of the people who will go to the bottom will not end wellใ
"Lord Vanogis, there's something going on. The adjutant walked into the command room to report the situation to his general, and Vanogis, who was immersed in thought, came back to his senses, looked around and found that only the adjutant exhaled, and it would be a shame to let more people know that he was still deserting to the point of being stunned when approaching the battlefield.
"What's the situation?"
"The Saran Navy, which we had been watching, docked to the shore and transported a lot of soldiers up, and it seems that they wanted to withdraw their troops in this way. The adjutant explained, his expression relaxed, as if he didn't care about the enemy's actions, much to the dissatisfaction of Vanogis.
"Vicky, I remember telling you more than once not to underestimate the enemy, see how nervous you are now? Even if something unexpected happens, don't forget that the Eighteenth Legion has been planted, you must know that our warship technology is a big cut beyond the Saran Empire, just now the battleships of Norval have been sunk. โ
"I'm so sorry, Lord Vanogis. Adjutant Vicky bowed his head and apologized, but nothing has changed, and it is normal to think about it, this time the reinforcements have two legions, and there will be basically no danger in the case of avoiding ground combat as much as possible.
Vanogis shook his head, he walked out of the command room with his adjutant, this kind of fully enclosed warship structure is different from the Saran Empire, they go from the command room to the lookout room are all indoors, which is much more comfortable than conventional warships, many technical problems have already been overcome on the side of the Sea Clan, heavy naval light infantry This is a problem that the Sea Clan has always been difficult to change, and the lack of ground territory is one of the main reasons for this situation.
"Wouldn't this be the solution if the Saran Empire was defeated?" was the view of many of the top leaders of the main battle faction when formulating the attack plan.
"What a bunch of fools, how can it be so easy to defeat a strong country, for a country on the ground, the army is always the decisive force," vanogis shook his head and sighed, he knew that that kind of opinion was just a reason made up by the main battle faction to fight the war, and he could see the situation on the shore very clearly through a large screen, although it was still nearly forty nautical miles away, but through this screen he could see that side clearly.
"That's it, they seem to want to withdraw the army, and those ravines behind should be an obstacle to the return of these heavy cavalry, I have to say that this way of withdrawing troops is really simple and rude, but the efficiency will not be very high, look at their good order, they are all elite soldiers, it should be the troops of the nearest Kanxi fortress, Leon actually dared to send troops twice without authorization, it seems that Gu Arno II has no authority in the Saran Empire. The adjutant calmly analyzed, and in terms of facts, his last point was not accurate.
"If you think about it from another angle, Leon may be very trusted by Gu Anold II, and it can be forgiven for sending troops without authorization, it's just nonsense, such behavior is impossible for us Sea Clan," Vanogis pursed his lips, he turned to look at the adjutant: "Convey my order, so the naval guns start to charge but don't attack casually, judging from the current situation, it is estimated that the people will be withdrawn by then, and the scattered one or two ships are of no value, and all the shells will cover me on the shore, provided that there are enough enemies on the shore." โ
"Eh, don't you try to destroy the enemy's living forces as much as possible?" said the adjutant in surprise, he did not expect his general to give up such an opportunity to reap the rewards of war.
"You're right, but our magic cannonballs have to be spent on blades, and based on what we've seen, it seems that the enemy has given up so much land for the time being, so there's no point in blasting it over, and it's foolish to spend it on a few ships or one or two ships or in the open field," Vano Giston paused, and continued, "and also send a message to Daglick advising them not to waste their ammunition either, and it's up to us what they do." โ
Nine times out of ten, the main battle general would not accept this suggestion, Vanogis thought.
"Hmph, save ammunition? Vanogis is still so courageless, his previous combat command was so conservative, he hasn't made any progress at all over the years," after receiving the message from the 41st Legion, Dagnis sneered: "Raisi, pass on my order, when the enemy enters the attack range, be sure to sink them as soon as possible, destroying the enemy's living force is the most important, as for ammunition, isn't that kind of resource just to be consumed?"
"Yes. Daglick's adjutant Raycy nodded.
Unlike the two factions of the Saran Empire, the hawks and even the extreme hawks in the Sea Clan now have an absolute advantage, many of them think about fighting, plundering and winning, there are not many generals like Vanogis, since the oracle of the sea god's awakening came out, the whole race has fallen into a terrible frenzy, and it is precisely because of this that there is a Dagnis who would rather consume the magic cannonballs that could have played a greater role to bombard a few enemies, and all he enjoys is the feeling of victory.
