A hundred kilometers west of Cleggmore, at the end of the Steelac Mountains that extend into the territory of Krurod, the pitch-black dragon banner waved in the wind under the moonlight, and more than 10,000 troops were stationed on the Gobi Desert under the mountain peaks, but there was no sound like a sleeping beast.

"Gnison should get the message I want to convey to Tanan, so it's time for us to make a battle plan. ”

Lear said as he leaned against a huge map of the march in the makeshift tent, surrounded by a round table in front of him.

"It's only a five-day journey from Sand City to Clegmore, even if Tanan has a large army and all the logistical preparations, it will be early in the morning in six days to come to Clegmore City, but Clegmore is only a small city, and no matter how much we strengthen the city defenses in these five days, it will not be strong enough to withstand the army of 50,000 barbarians, so I think it is very necessary to send a small force to ambush and harass along the way.

First, it can slow down the barbarians' march and demoralize them, and second, if there is an opportunity to burn their logistics, it will be a great advantage for our defense of the city. ”

"The most important point is that in this way we can always take the initiative of the war in our own hands, and when the barbarians think that we are only harassing on a small scale along the way, we can properly ambush a strange soldier and strike them hard, in short, we cannot limit the direction of the battle to the defense of the city, otherwise the siege of the city by the army will be extremely disadvantageous to us, and the above is my opinion on this battle. ”

Speaking of this, Mlak paused, looked at Lear again, and then said after a hint of hesitation flashed in Lear's eyes, "But my lord, I still insist that now is not the best time to fight the barbarians. ”

Mrak's speech made Lear's eyes flash with undisguised appreciation, and even he laughed at the latter's questioning, after a long period of training, these captains under his command have finally grown to the height of being able to take charge of themselves, and maintaining their own position and not blindly obeying the leader is also the quality of a general he himself has deliberately cultivated.

In fact, before saving Haag, he didn't rush to find the barbarians to fight a decisive battle or even finish the battle, and now the reason for this decision is not only because the return of Hag and Ronis has greatly enhanced his own combat power.

The more important factor was that after he learned from Gnison that Tanan was waiting for someone, after several days of meditation and deduction, he finally had a definite guess that Tanan was waiting for Jag.

The previous attack on him by Jagg and Tanatos ended in failure, and with the character of Ardis, he would definitely not rest on his laurels, and under the premise that the lives of the other two barbarian ancestors were threatened, Jagg must have acted again, and the intensity must be even greater than the last time.

Looking at the continent, Tanan can no longer find any powerful allies except Sandru, and even if he can find it, he will not really help him, which Sandru has already made clear, and the person who can make Tanan wait so carefully and will inevitably stand with him in the united front is almost ready to come out under this calculation.

Originally, dragging Tanan's army around Krurod's territory and then choosing the opportunity to eat him up little by little is the safest plan, because if he doesn't create a lot of opportunities to completely blacken Tanan, even if he can completely occupy Krurod's territory, he will face endless counterattacks and uprisings in the future, so that Krurod will become his quagmire, just like an imperialist invasion of Afghanistan in his previous life.

But the appearance of Jagg has made the original plan a little more likely to change, and what could be more shocking and time-saving than directly defeating the barbarian ancestors?

The reason why Tanan's cavalry resisted the wizard king was nothing more than oppression, and the reason why countless warriors followed him was nothing more than to pursue the glory of the ancestors, but his occupation did not have any oppression, and after defeating Jag, the so-called ancestral glory naturally fell apart, coupled with the subtle transformation of a group of priests, under the premise of the emergence of a nobler faith and a more stable life for them, I believe that no barbarian is willing to jump up and make a fuss except for those fanatics.

The most important point is that Krurod is not his main strategic direction of attack, so Lear does not want to spend too long here, after solving the problem of the barbarians, Sandru naturally has one less ally, and with the joint logistics support of Tataglia and Krurod, it will be more convenient for him to conquer the Central Plains in the future.

So when this opportunity was put in front of Lear once and for all, he immediately accepted it without hesitation, even if it was worth paying some price.

Because since he learned that more than 80,000 corpses had been harvested on the plains of Sandru Brakaton, a strong sense of unease has been haunting his heart, as far as he knows, Elson, Vidnina, Aisha, Gru are not a good person, and after the battle of Brakadon, Sandru has inexplicably disappeared, and all kinds of signs are intertwined to make him have a sense of urgency.

The barbarians must be dealt with as quickly as possible.

For this reason, he even discussed with Kunsha the possibility of Jag's arrival this time and the strength he might have after his arrival, and Kunsha's answer was that it was extremely likely, but she should be able to handle it, so what was there to worry about.

Taking 10,000 steps back, even if Jag's strength exceeded Kunsha's expectations and caused some kind of crisis, it was a big deal for him to release the power of the dragon god again, although the cost of consuming his life and only two chances were quite heavy for him, but he had a faint hunch that there must be something in the depths of the Steelak Mountains that Sandru wanted very much, and he must not let the other party get it.

In order to achieve this goal, even if it has to pay some price, because this duel between him and Sandru is the same as the two in the sky, time is everything.

"We don't have to defend the city. Lear's palm pressed against the huge marching map.

"In the early stage, small groups of knights and priests can be sent to harass the barbarians, but they must be equipped with highly mobile war horses to ensure their own safety first, and their first task is not to block and destroy the barbarians' logistics, but to lead the enemy to the established battlefield that we have prepared. ”

His fingers slowly moved along the Gobi to Cleggmore's right, and finally stopped at a place in the middle, where the Steelac Mountains and the Clegg Mountains meet, and the two stretches of mountains each stretching out a tentacle that encloses the area into a huge pocket-shaped valley.

"This is it. ”

Lear is unequivocal.

"I'm afraid that's unlikely. Mrak expressed his concerns. "The savage's familiarity with this land should not be below ours, and as long as Tanan is not a fool to see that it is an extremely suitable terrain for ambushes, what if they are not fooled?

More importantly, judging from the scale of the map, the terrain there is very narrow, and although the army of barbarians cannot be deployed, the restrictions on us are the same, assuming that our army guards the valley mouth in the valley, I am afraid that the number of soldiers in each engagement will not exceed 3,000, which is extremely disadvantageous to us who are inferior to the enemy in numbers, and what if the enemy attacks with fire?"

"He's going to come. Lear smiled and dismissed Mrak's concerns, as far as he knew, such a thing as a soul descent was not permanent, but the time limit was great after paying a heavy price, so Tanan would definitely seek them for a decisive battle in the shortest possible time, not to mention that their army was absolutely superior in numbers.

"If he dares to play with fire, don't you know that I am the ancestor of playing with fire?"
