After Fasqi heard Duke say this, his face also changed from surprise at the beginning to excitement and excitement, because in the entire Wave Tribe, it can be said that many fishmen have a blood feud with the Shark Tribe, and they have been waiting for an opportunity to counterattack.

However, because of their previous strength, the Stormfish Army could only take a defensive position. However, after more than a year of development, the strength of the Wave Tribe can be said to have undergone earth-shaking changes, at least after the successful establishment of the Storm Fortress, there is no need to worry about the attack of the Wild Shark Tribe.

Now that there are no worries, Fasqi is very stormy, and there is already a flame of revenge in the heart of the Fish-Man Army. It's just that because of the worship of Duke's authority and the current situation in Stormcastle, they can't do anything to attack the Shark Tribe. Originally, Fasqi thought that with the current situation in the Storm Territory, it would take at least a year and a half before he could launch a counteroffensive, but Duke was so quick to tell the news that he was going to attack the Shark Tribe.

"My lord, the Storm Fish-Man Army has been preparing all along, as long as you give the order, we will be able to launch a counterattack!"

Fasqi responded very excitedly, because the number of the Storm Fish Clan has been growing during this time, after all, the Wave Tribe was a large tribe of tens of thousands of people at the beginning, and when it came to Storm Castle, the number plummeted to 100,000.

The disappearance of more than 100,000 people is not a complete slaughter of the Shark Tribe, and it is much more difficult for the ocean to be rounded up than on the land. Most of the tribal fishmen were scattered in the original homeland war, but as the strength of the Wave tribe expanded after joining the storm territory, they slowly absorbed these wandering clansmen, and now the number of the storm fishmen has increased from 100,000 to about 150,000, but it has also begun to stabilize slowly.

The increase in numbers is only secondary, and the most important thing is that the combat effectiveness of the five thousand people of the Stormfish Army has soared. At the beginning, the fish-man warriors fought in a straggler mode, relying solely on their physical fitness. They may have a great advantage in physical fitness, but war is never something that can be solved by individual ability, especially against intelligent beings like humans.

After the strength of the team is coordinated, especially the emergence of battle formations, the combat effectiveness of the army is no longer an addition of one plus one and two in terms of numbers, but may be increased by several times such as one plus one equals four, five or six. Of course, if the army does not cooperate well and becomes a rabble, then there is a high chance that one plus one equals a negative number, and so many battles in ancient times where fewer won more were basically produced in this way.

That is, the vanguard army was defeated after being defeated, and the Chinese army and the rear army were coerced by the defeated soldiers in front before they understood what was happening, and then a large army completely collapsed, which eventually led to the defeat of a war.

Now the 5,000 people of the Storm Fishman Army are at least equivalent to more than 10,000 people before, or even 20,000 people. And the Storm Fishman Army is not more than 5,000 people, after Duke left, because of the great threat of the Shark Tribe, the Storm Fishman Army also formed an existence similar to the reserve army, and there were a lot of fishman warriors who brushed down before, and the number of the reserve army can also be easily gathered.

Now the Stormfishmen still have 5,000 reserves, and the total number of people has exceeded 10,000. And their opponent, the Shark Tribe, after two heavy casualties, should now have an army of around 20,000 people, with the modern professional training of the Storm Fish Army, it is not a big problem to fight two with one, so the attack is no longer a problem, and the strength of the two sides is at a level between the two sides.

"Okay, Fasqi, you have formulated the offensive evolution, our first stage plan is to drive the Shark Tribe out of a hundred nautical miles along the coast, and the other is to try not to conflict with the Sea Giant Tribe, the Storm Army does not have the strength to fight on two fronts for the time being. ”

"I understand. ”

Fasqi nodded directly, as the Naga clan in the Sea Clan, they are the descendants of the Elven Clan, and they are naturally much smarter than the average Fishman Clan in terms of IQ, so these battle plans are not any problem for Fasqi.

"Well, I'll get the Fish-Man Army to withdraw from the Storm Wall as soon as possible, and I'll let the hydro factory do its best to solve the problem of reserve equipment. ”

After Duke said this, he didn't continue to talk to Fasqi, because the ocean of this era is also strange to Duke, as long as he formulates the strategic things, and the specific tactical execution is left to Fasqi himself.

The only logistical concern is that when the Fish-Man Army is not numerous, it needs to be topped with reserves. But the equipment of these reserve forces was a big problem before, after all, the equipment of the regular troops of the Storm Army took nearly half a year to replenish, how could there be time to equip the second-line military units like the reserve army?

But now the situation has changed slightly, and the Storm Musket team has all switched to cotton armor, which can release the production capacity of plate armor. Moreover, the mountain cavalry itself was also armored before, but it was a little worse than the storm armor, but at present, the storm army can't see any battles, so it naturally has priority over the storm fishman army.

Duke has never been partial to this, and since the Wave Tribe has fully integrated into Stormcastle, he will not let the Fishman Warriors go to the battlefield shirtless. Because in addition to the big gap between their appearance and humans, they also have parents and relatives, and they are also intelligent creatures, as their lords, Duke may not be able to achieve absolute fairness, but relative fairness must be achieved.

In addition to the Fish-Man Reserve Army, Duke also discussed with Fasqi to try to find a way to expand the productivity of the Sea Clan, and in the future, Duke will transfer the salt farm, the aquaculture industry related to the ocean, and even the jewelry processing luxury industries to the Storm Fortress to help the Sea Tribe's move from the purest primitive economy to the basic market economy, otherwise in the future, with the development of the economy and productivity of humans and dwarves in the Storm Territory, if the Fishmen do not change, there will eventually be conflicts due to the large gap between the rich and the poor.

Duke can't always subsidize the Fishmen, after all, it cuts off their ability to face modern society, and completely seals them in the primitive economy. With the current development speed of Storm Castle, it will only take another ten or twenty years to open the fish-people to a level of industrial revolution, and it will be too late if they are not given the direction of development.
