Chapter 264: Strategic Defense

"It's a very big deal, and I think I'll think about it." Enriquez said to Allen, "You say, if we give up the City of Gold for a while, where are we going next?" At the moment, our campaign has not encountered much difficulty, and a hasty withdrawal under such circumstances will also be a great blow to morale. ”

Enriquez's idea was very simple, he wanted to try again, and if nothing really came of it, he would retreat, so that even from the point of view of combat strategy, it would be justified.

"Two places, to the east, to control the hinterland of Raspar and ensure food production while resisting the westward advance of the orcs." "The other direction, to the north, controls the many highlands of the Skader Mountains, which contain incredible mineral deposits, which were difficult to explore and excavate in the past, depending on the strength of the Principality of Stormwind. ”

"However, war is always the driving force behind scientific and technological progress. I am confident that in the days to come, the mineral deposits of the Skader Mountains will be effectively utilized and excavated. Alan said, "The goblins have such strength, and I think that in the future, the city lord can seek their help." ”

"You make sense in both directions, and the Skader mountains are even more impressive. If you control the Pass Heights of the Skad Mountains, then the Principality of Storm will not have to worry about being cut in two by your opponent. Enriquez was thinking about it seriously, but Enriquez did not come from the future like Allen, whether Scard's resources could be used, and whether this mountain really had to be taken was debatable.

However, sometimes the situation is not negotiable, nor is it thought out. Archduke Enriquez was very interested in Allen's strategic direction, but it was obviously a very difficult decision to make the lord of the Golden City abandon his people all at once. In this regard, Allen also deeply agrees.

Under the Golden City, Enriquez and his army of 500,000 launched attacks on the Golden City again and again, in these attacks, Allen, Afra and others also did their best, but Victor was too strong, even Alan teamed up with the two dragons and Kaiton, and it was difficult to overthrow it, and the stalemate lasted until April.

In April, the plague finally broke out. The existence of the plague bringer has become a nightmare for everyone, and Enriquez's army has been weakened like never before. On the first day of April, perhaps in order to cooperate with other strategies of the Abyss, the skeleton army in the Golden City suddenly took the initiative to meet the Enriquez army, and the Storm Army was a little caught off guard and exhausted.

All this is obviously a decisive judgment made by Victor after carefully comparing the difference in combat power between the two sides. All of a sudden, the skeleton army was like a flood, breaking the dam, although Alan and others resisted vigorously, but the defeat was like a mountain, even if everyone was united, it was difficult to hide the decline, and finally, the battle for the Golden City ended in the defeat of the Storm Legion.

On the other hand, news came from the kingdom of Stormwind that Stormwind had been conquered again, and the king issued an order for the aristocratic army with combat ability to be stationed north of the Skad Mountains as a countermeasure, and if necessary, directly draw the army and inflict heavy damage on the skeleton legions from the rear.

It was only at this time that everyone was surprised to find that most of the area of the Principality of Storm had been controlled by Victor. This guy who has invaded the Divine Grace Continent for less than 4 months has actually quickly invaded the three northern kingdoms with a devastating attitude. The human legion didn't have any countermeasures other than guarding a few important passes.

However, it seems that there is one area that is an exception, and that is South Raspaar, where Allen's territory is located. When the abyss forces attacked, this place suffered from several waves of war, but with its strong combat strength, this place completely survived. Merchants from the south, unable to carry them on their backs, sold a large number of goods on the spot. Countless displaced civilians have flocked to the area.

In just a few months, South Raspar has seen a significant increase in both its population and the number of its troops. It was only then that everyone realized how extraordinary this place was. Since the beginning of winter, it has been attacked by 13 orcs, three of which have reached more than 80,000 orcs.

In addition, the area was infested by the Abyssal Forces and noble rebels 7 times, but the South Lespar region completely survived, and even helped the outer lords to gain a firm foothold and bring stability to more places.

Faced with such a situation, Archduke Enris, who was raided by Victor and retreated to the mountains of Skad, and waited for his next move, bluntly said that Allen was full of insight and strong strategic vision. As a result, he completely trusted Allen's judgment and decided to use the Skader Mountains as a strategic location.

Alan pointed out the location of Glory Canyon to Grand Duke Enriquez. When Enriquez led an army of 200,000 to this place, he immediately realized the importance of this position, and sighed again and again: "Fortunately, Victor did not set up an ambush here, otherwise with the combat ability of the skeleton army, how would we pass from this place." ”

A few months have passed, and the Divine Grace Continent and the Abyss Force have entered a brief stalemate from the initial stage of land contention. In the stalemate, the four Abyss Lords who paid their faces joined forces to announce to the mainland that the people of the Abyss would completely conquer the Divine Grace Continent, and anyone who disobeyed would meet on the battlefield.

Such a blatant aggressive intention angered all the strong people on the mainland at once, and for a time, countless adventurers who had the intention to defend their homeland embarked on the road of resistance, which was called the road of legendary rise by later generations, and was also regarded as the great historical moment at the beginning of the god-making movement, and finally came step by step in the shocking changes of the world.

One day in May, King Sirnaul of the Duchy of Stormwind made a report within the army, acknowledging the fact that there was a massive loss of land, and in the proclamation, King Sirnaul mentioned Stormwind, the new town of Scud, and the South Raspar region, these three areas will be the last reliance of the Duchy of Stormwind against the invasion of the Abyss, and called on all adventurers and civilians to flock to these three places to contribute to future strategic counterattacks.

It was under such circumstances that Eren returned to his territory. The people of the abyss did come too quickly, in just over a year, Alan spread as much as he knew as much as he could, but it was really sad that the golden city that he valued the most was not defended in the end.

However, Allen's rebirth does not seem to be completely useless, at least compared to the previous life, the human army guarded Stormwind City, preemptively obtained the Skader region, and there was still a large area in the south, such a result, all of this can be regarded as the result of Allen's hard work.
