Port Ward City Lord's Mansion, Miles City Lord touched his bald head and lost his mind at the topographic map. He was thinking about the strategy and tactics to solve, and although he wasn't optimistic about the war, he couldn't let the fear of Kostana creep in - if he did, they wouldn't be far from losing.

In front of Miles stood the commanders of the 3rd and 5th Mobile Corps of Roe, Major General Thaddeus and Major General Boyan, both of whom were trusted young men by His Majesty the Emperor's side, Major General Thaddeus was Chinese New Year's Eve five years old today, and Major General Boyan was Chinese New Year's Eve three years old today, this war was an opportunity for them, as long as they could win, it was a great military achievement.

However, will they really be able to win? Thinking of this, Miles couldn't help but smile wryly, Costana, Segou's barrier, now this barrier is in front of your eyes and is ready to knock you on the head and break the blood, and there is nothing they can do. Counterattack? Costana welcomed them with both hands in this act of generosity; Stubborn? The increasing logistical pressure and the delay in the arrival of reinforcements are a slow death.

"Commander Miles," Rear Admiral Thaddeus began, "it's in a grim form now. Did Your Majesty agree to send reinforcements? ”

Miles shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Your Majesty let us hold on for a while longer, and when the fighting on the northern front stops, we will immediately send troops to come to the rescue." ”

Major General Bojan scolded: "Fuck! Ward Harbour has no room for error for the Empire! What do the grandsons of the General Staff think! ”

Miles comforted Major General Boyan and said: "Major General Bojan, don't worry so much, Port Ward is impregnable, and the logistics supply is enough to last for a while, she Costana is indeed strong, but we are not weak either!" Your two legions are the most elite legions in the entire Roe, plus the city defense army of Port Ward and the two divisions of the First Frontier Legion, we will definitely be able to hold Port Ward, after all, this is the lifeblood of the empire, and there is no room for loss, Your Majesty also knows this, as long as we hold on to Port Ward, Kostana will not be able to hold on sooner or later, and she will collapse earlier than us. ”

Major General Thaddeus and Major General Bojan nodded, they agreed with this, and this was where their hopes were pinned, and they expected Costana's logistics to collapse before they did.

Costana had the same idea at this time. She had moved her headquarters to the village of Donba, which had now been turned into a forward base for Ségou, a bridgehead for the Segou army to attack Port Ward, and she and her staff were working on strategy and tactics. But she knew in her heart that she had been waiting for news from Maran's side, as long as Maran succeeded, as soon as the Dock Brotherhood was eradicated, and Kostana directly began the siege of the city, how long could Ward Harbor, which had lost the support of the citizens and people, hold out? Thinking of this, Kostana couldn't help but thank Miles for his policy of hiding the wealth from the people. The people here in Port Ward are materially wealthy, but their patriotism is somewhat lacking - at least very few people donate money to the army, because they are gathered here from all over the world, and many of them are not Roe people at all, and they have no sense of identity with the Roe Empire, so let them fight for Roe? They would never do that when they had other better options.

Kostana is not in a hurry, she believes in Malan's ability, and at the same time, the blockade of Port Ward by Segu's fleet is about to begin, and without the logistical supplies at sea, how long can Port Ward last? So, Costana now just asked the soldiers to step up their training, stay in shape, and be ready to start the siege at any time.

The reason why Kostana is not in a hurry to start the siege is because once the siege begins, Ward Port will become a huge meat grinder, and countless Roe and Segou soldiers will be turned into corpses with missing arms and legs on the walls of Ward Port. Kostana did not win the war like this way - after all, there were too many dead, even if the port of Ward was defeated, it would not be able to hold it, as long as the supply chain of the Roe people was broken, and the Roe people would collapse sooner or later, and when the time came, it would be the most economical way to fight without a fight.

Of course, the premise of all this is that Malan can succeed, and it must do so as soon as possible. Malan was also very anxious, he knew that he had a heavy hope for Kostana, if he failed, even if Kostana could still capture Port Ward, but the soldiers of the Segou Empire would suffer huge losses, since he took a little risk, he could save countless comrades from death, Malan thought it was worth it.

Snorlan refused to cooperate with Ma Lan, which was expected by Ma Lan, but Ma Lan was still a little disappointed and a little frustrated, if they joined hands, then it would be easy to take the head of the leading brother, and as soon as the leading brother died, the dock brotherhood would naturally break itself.

Just as Malan was thinking about his next countermeasure, Carmelo found him.

"Father, why are you here?" Malan asked in surprise, his instincts telling him that there must be something wrong with Carmelo coming here, and most likely a happy event.

"There's a good thing for you. Did Snorlan agree to work with you? Carmelo said with a smile.

"Really!?" Malan said in surprise.

"Really. Snorlan has already decided, stun Kane before the action, and then go straight in as you said, and directly kill the leading brother, and the dock brotherhood will naturally collapse. ”

"That's great, father, so let's see when it's appropriate, I'll go to them and discuss the details."

Carmelo shook his head and said, "No hurry. I'll let them go find you, just wait here, you've always been here, right? ”

Ma Lan nodded and said, "Yes, I've been staying here for the past two days. Farina is in charge of contacting the rebels of the Dock Brotherhood, and I am in charge of researching and agreeing on tactics, and this is our home base and headquarters. ”

"Very well, Farina, as a silver-level mage, is indeed much more convenient than you in terms of contact. I'll check out who the person behind the big brother is in two days, and although I already have a preliminary idea, I still have to investigate it specifically, and after I have the results of the investigation, you will take the next step. ”

"I understand, father," Malan nodded, "since you want to act, then you must do your best to ensure success, this is what you taught me, and I will not forget." ”

Carmelo smiled slightly: "It's good that you haven't forgotten." I'll let Snolan and them come over when they're free, don't worry. ”

Ma Lan nodded, paused, and suddenly said, "Father, what do you think...... Will Lieutenant General Costana succeed? ”

Carmelo sighed and said, "She's not going to fail." ”
