"Duke Edward, I think the city in the middle is good, and the terrain around it is also full of rivers, so it is better to defend after taking it!"

Edward's words fell, and one of the Holy City lords spoke up and pointed to the cities in the center of the simple map.

"I don't agree with Duke Solaid's statement, if the position is too far back, it is conducive to defense now, but the problem is that if you want to attack the next city in the future, you will be constrained by other holy cities, I think we should capture some cities that are further ahead!"

"Lord Johnson is right, no matter what, we must ensure that there is a safe route to attack the natives, otherwise we will be controlled by others for a while."

There are hundreds of large and small cities on this map, and the first thing to choose is which area to attack.

According to previous records, at least in the past half a month, the natives will definitely not be able to gather forces to fight back.

The natives could not gather their strength, so the small cities on the map naturally could not pose a threat to the large army.

And the area they have chosen now can be regarded as a bridgehead for future attacks on the natives.

According to the first Holy City City Lord, the city selected in the middle and late sections, although it is relatively safe, there is no need to worry about facing the counterattack of the natives in the first place in the future.

But if the city in front of them is occupied by other forces, even the orcs, then if they want to continue to attack in the future, they will have to pass through other people's spheres of influence.

In this way, the supply line becomes dangerous, which is very detrimental to the subsequent attack.

In order to avoid such hidden dangers, they must ensure that they always have regional control in the hands of themselves and others at the front line.

"Then choose this area, from the reconnaissance, there are more than 20 cities in this area, enough for us to divide, and there is also a road originally used by the natives here, which will be more convenient for us to attack when the time comes!"

Edward pondered for a moment, and finally drew a narrow area on the far right of the map, east of the Godfall.

The shape of the castles in this area is like the mouth of a bottle, with a slender front section and an open middle.

This not only ensures the safe development of the station in the rear, but also eliminates the hidden danger that the forward passage will be blocked by other forces.

"Then do as Duke Edward said!"

Everyone looked down for a moment and carefully looked at the exact map in front of them, and nodded in agreement.

To the left of this area is the other indigenous cities to the west, and to the east is a huge body of water, it is not known whether this water is a lake or an ocean, in short, it is very vast, and there is no time to explore it deeply.

However, the ocean lake means relative safety, and even if there are other creatures in the lake and ocean, it is impossible to attack the land in a big way.

"In that case, then this area has been decided, let's take a look at the city you want to capture!"

After everyone agreed, Edward immediately began the next step, which was to really choose the city.

"The cities on this map are now color-coded with approximate populations? Although it's just an approximation? But you'd better be cautious. ”

At this time, the cities on the map are marked with three colors: white, green, and red.

White means that the city has thousands of residents? And the green city is in the tens of thousands? The Red City has a population of more than 100,000.

There are not many red cities on this map, only more than a dozen? And Gervais and they have one in this area, right in the middle of many green cities.

And there aren't many white cities? Only four or five? After all, if the population is too small, there is no need for a city at all.

According to the information returned from the exploration, although the number of these white cities is small, most of them are located in important locations and can be regarded as small fortresses.

"I'll pick these two!"

"I'll pick this one!"

"I'll pick this one!"

When Edward's words fell? You're welcome, city lords? They began to choose the city they were going to capture.

However, although they rushed to choose a target, there were no candidates for several cities near the red dot, because the central position was definitely reserved for Sky City.

Gervais listened to the city lords quickly selecting targets, and he looked at the map a little confused.

Not to mention the number of his subordinates? The strength is not strong, and it is really not so easy to attack a city with a population of tens of thousands.

And those with a population of thousands? Gervais also understands that only a few thousand people can build a small city? Even if there are civilians in it, the proportion of the army is larger than that of those cities with a population of tens of thousands.

Maybe a small town with thousands of people? When the time comes, it will be troublesome for the army and civilians to split evenly.

Edward stood above and saw the Holy City speak? Only Gervais didn't say a word? Instantly understood his difficulty, and immediately spoke.

"Gervais, you choose first, and after we capture a few cities, we will come to your aid!"

"That's right! Lord Gervais, you choose first, if we capture our respective cities, we can come to your aid when the time comes! ”

The other Holy City City Lords also immediately agreed, after all, no one who was greedy for Gervais's magic potion wanted to sell it for a benefit.

"In that case, thank you city lords!"

After hearing this, Gervais immediately nodded and thanked everyone, this is the best way at present,

Choose the city by yourself, as long as you guard outside the city at that time, don't let other forces grab it, and wait for one or two helpers to come to support, he can successfully take his own city.

Immediately, Gervais's eyes began to look for suitable cities on the map, and at this time, most of the city lords had already selected the target master, and there were not many for Gervais to choose, most of them were peripheral cities.

"I'll just choose this little city!"

Gervais finally looked at a white marker on the far left and west of the map, a small city of thousands of people.

Although this small city is already on the edge of their area, it is close to the front line but not far away, and most importantly, this city has a river in front of it, as long as it is captured, it can be used as a bridgehead for the land of the gods, and it can also trade around by the river when the time comes.

"Yes! That's a good position, but Gervais, you should be on guard when the time comes, lest other forces come to snatch it! ”

The area they choose now does not mean that it is theirs, if others are faster than them to capture the city, everyone has no choice, after all, it is whose hands and feet are faster than them.

"Hmmm! I know, Duke Edward! ”

Gervais naturally understood, and nodded immediately.

"Okay, then today's matter is so decided! Go back and give orders, you guys, we must move quickly! ”

At this time, all the Holy City City Lords have chosen their targets, so they must go to capture them as quickly as possible, so as not to be taken by others first.

"After everyone's cities are captured, we will immediately attack and capture the frontmost cities and garrison them together!"

Edward pointed to the frontline cities.

"Yes, Duke Edward!"

"Well, bring back all the maps in front of you! Be careful not to get lost! ”

Edward finally confessed.

And this is not a joke, in this world without satellite navigation, it is common to get lost, even if the army of the previous life went out to get lost.

And Gervais and they are also facing an unknown environment this time, so they naturally need to beware of the risk of getting lost.

Then, the short meeting ended, and the Holy City Lords walked out of their tents with simple maps and prepared to leave.
