Rocky, who began to follow the situation in the Culhan area, soon found that the situation was exactly what he expected.

According to the intelligence released by the Shadow Alliance in the next few days, the army commanded by Marshal Manstein immediately encountered a large-scale counterattack by the demons after occupying three cities respectively, but the reports of the Shadow Alliance are still quite optimistic, thinking that this is a very common situation in counteroffensive wars, and comparing the two defensive battles that happened in Marta City before, thinking that the demon's counterattack is not a problem at all.

This kind of report is obviously for ordinary people, and the two defensive battles in Marta City are based on strong city defenses, on the other hand, the defensive battles in the Calhan area are completely different, so it is impossible for Rocky to believe this kind of report from the Shadow Alliance, and in order to get first-hand battlefield information and a real battle report, he had to spend extra money to buy a piece of information from the Shadow Alliance.

And the content in this information is completely different from the previous reports.

According to this information, Marshal Goodley was undoubtedly in the middle of a bitter battle, and the demonic counterattack arrived a few days after the three cities were occupied, and the scale was far more ferocious than the previous counterattack in Marta City, tens of thousands of demons surrounded the three cities from all sides almost overnight, and surrounded the three cities in a water.

According to the preliminary statistics of the Shadow Alliance, the total number of demons surrounding the three cities has exceeded 100,000, which means that each city is facing at least more than 30,000 demons.

Sure enough, four days after Rocky got this information, new information came, and one of the three cities had already been lost, so the occupying forces were not beaten back to the sky by the demons!

On the second and third days, new battle reports came again, and the other two cities were lost!

Within three days, the city that Goodley had captured had been re-chopped back by the demons, and it had only been about a week between the time he had captured three cities and the time the army had to evacuate from them.

Seeing these battle reports, Lodge sighed, and couldn't help but feel incomprehensible, why would Marshal Manstein, who was known as the emperor **god, make such a mistake? How could he be so stupid as to go to Forte on the Calhan Plain to occupy the city, isn't this a loss!

Although the Shadow Alliance's battle report does not disclose how many troops the coalition forces have lost in this series of tug-of-wars, the losses must not be small, because as long as it is a defensive battle based on the city, the ground forces must be dispatched, and in this case, once the defense fails, then even if the army can return to the sky, the losses of the defending troops must be heavy.

So it's safe to say that Manstein's strategy has failed this time, much to Rocky's baffle.

And just when he couldn't figure it out, another battle report came from the front line, and it was two battle reports.

The first battle report came from the Blue Snow Peak region, Lord Wilton who led the army into the Blue Snow Peak area has successfully gained a firm foothold at the foot of the Blue Snow Peak Mountain, and the two cities occupied by it have passed the most difficult morale after resisting several waves of attacks from demons in a row, so what His Excellency the Paladin has to do next is to make steady progress and take back control of the Blue Snow Peak area little by little.

The second report came from the Karhan region, where Marshal Manstein did not give up after losing three cities in succession, and after a short period of adjustment, he launched another attack on the ground, and even recaptured the three cities that had just been lost.

When Rocky saw these two pieces of news, he suddenly felt a big head, the news of the paladin Wilton is good news, there is no need to elaborate too much, but what is Marshal Manstein doing?

Obviously they have all failed once, why do they still struggle with these three cities, so that they will soon fall into the same quagmire again?

Manstein's decision not only puzzled Rocky, but also others, because Manstein's failure to lose three cities can be said to be the first defeat suffered by the coalition since the start of the Third Counteroffensive War, and now he has to repeat the same mistakes, which makes many people dissatisfied with Manstein's decision, especially under the premise that Wilton is overwhelmed in the Blue Snow Peak area, many people decide that the battle commanded by Manstein is really difficult to match his status as a military god, and there are even radical remarks that his command should be removed and replaced by someone else to command the troops to attack the Calhan area。

For a while, the voices of dissatisfaction with Manstein came and went, and many people faintly saw his failure again, but what happened next was beyond everyone's expectations.

Because at the same time that Manstein once again occupied three cities, the Shadow Alliance also released a data detailing the number of demons that Manstein had destroyed.

More than 200,000 demons were wiped out in the attack and defense of the three cities!

Seeing this number, outsiders thought that the Shadow Alliance was avoiding the important and protecting Manstein, but Rocky finally figured out the purpose of Manstein's behavior.

It turns out that this old marshal is using this method to sweep away the demons!

Indeed, Manstein was indeed using this method to annihilate the demon's living force.

As mentioned before, his primary strategic goal in the Calhan area is to annihilate the demons, but everyone thought that he would disperse his troops to sweep the nets as usual, but in fact this was not the case, Manstein did not let the coalition forces take the initiative, he chose to let the demons send themselves to the door!

That's why he captured three cities in Forte on the Calhan Plain, the strategic location of these three cities was indeed extremely bad, and it was true that they were besieged by demons immediately after the occupation, but this was exactly the situation he wanted.

Marshal Manstein is using this method to get the demons to attack on their own initiative, in exchange for faster annihilation efficiency.

Of course, his approach would certainly cause some damage, and in the eyes of some unreasonable people, it is debatable to make unnecessary sacrifices to the troops in pursuit of the speed of destroying demons, and even some generals in the coalition army think so, believing that this is a thankless excesse.

But when Lodge finally figured out Marshal Manstein's purpose, he had to give his thumbs up and secretly admire, worthy of being a god of war! 2k reading web
