Castle of the Counts of Vilna.

"Your Excellency."

"News from the scouts on the front just now."

"The 50,000 forwards who came out have all been annihilated."

"Plus!"

"The scouts also reported seeing a large number of retreating legions on the way to Mondo Castle."

As soon as the news came out.

Hero of the Poseidon Church in the hall of the Earl's Castle.

There was a burst of surprise.

"Hey, they set up an ambush."

"It's treacherous."

"I heard that it is Christian who is leading the troops this time, and he is the military commander of the Holy Light Church of the Old World civilization."

"I've heard of this woman, without her, the Holy Light Church will lose at least half of the foreign war."

"It's the glory of the era, the number one in the ranks!"

"Fortunately, Lord Raymond saw through their plot, otherwise we would have gone to the rescue."

"If you encounter an ambush halfway, you will inevitably suffer heavy losses!"

"No, maybe even annihilation."

"Since the other party dares to set up an ambush at this time."

"It must be well prepared, I'm afraid it's going to eat us in one bite."

"This is a typical encirclement point reinforcement."

"But I have one thing I can't figure out, the other party has attacked our Mondor Castle."

"Heavy troops have been placed to ambush us."

"At the same time, it surrounded our 50,000 forward corps."

"How many troops are there!"

"That's at least 600,000."

"Impossible, how can a lord have so many legions!"

"They have population restrictions!"

"Yes, Fang Yuan has a lot of military lords, and the soldiers produced by the military lords do not occupy the lord's population."

"But 600,000 troops should be his limit."

"According to the intelligence of the Blue Star Seagod Church, it seems that Fang Yuan did not mobilize all his forces to participate in the battle this time."

"On the West Coast Plains, there can't be six hundred thousand."

"Not necessarily, the intelligence on the Blue Star's side, Fang Yuan, this person is cunning and abnormal."

"We don't have specific information, so we can't make accurate judgments about it."

Just when everyone was arguing about how many troops Fang Yuan had.

As the commander-in-chief, Raymond "coughed".

Then the hall became silent.

"It doesn't matter how many soldiers the other side comes."

"Now we have to discuss what to do next after losing the knightly collar of Mondo!"

As he spoke, Raymond waved his hand.

A map appeared in front of everyone.

"This is where we are at the moment."

"County of Vilna."

"Located northwest of the former Mondo Knights."

"Southwest of Poseidon City."

"It's three hours from the West Coast Passage."

"The current position is no longer a threat to the West Coast Passage."

"That means that the plan we originally envisioned is invalid."

"The plan must be reformulated to complete the containment of the Blue Star Lord."

"If you have any good ideas, tell us all about them!"

The heroes present look at the map.

There was a pensive look on their faces.

A moment later.

Someone spoke.

"Your Excellency."

"It's better to send troops from here and compete with the other party for the knightly territory of Mondo."

"Anyway, our plan is to contain them."

"Taking the initiative to attack can also contain it."

"Even if the other side has an army of 600,000, the number of soldiers under our command exceeds that of the other side."

"Fully capable of fighting it in the wild!"

But soon there was opposition.

"I don't think so."

"Our current position is more than two hours away from the knight's territory."

"The march is too far."

"Once it happens again, the strikers are surrounded."

"The consequences would be catastrophic."

"And among the legions we brought, there is only one golden army, and the rest are not all orange armies."

"And a part of the Purple Legion."

"It's quite different from Fang Yuan's legion."

"In the decisive battle in the field, our strength is superior, but the overall strength is at a disadvantage."

"Moreover, between 1 million and 600,000, although there is a difference of 400,000."

"But in the decisive battle of the large army, the difference of 400,000 is acceptable and can be made up for by using tactics."

"So I think we should stick to it and form a rivalry with Poseidon City."

"The county of Werner is far away from the knightly domain of Mondo."

"But it's relatively close to Poseidon City."

"In the Old World, this was originally the outer fortress of Poseidon City."

"We're stuck here."

"If the enemy wants to attack Poseidon City, he must attack us first."

"If you attack Poseidon City directly."

"We'll be able to attack the rear."

"Flank it."

"So, hold on to the county of Vilna."

"It was our best choice!"

After this suggestion was made.

It was immediately recognized by others.

"Agreed!"

"The other side invaded the West Coast Plains to drive us away."

"He's the attacking side, we're the defending side."

"Now that the knightly leader of Mondo has been taken away."

"Then we will simply retreat to Poseidon City."

"If the other party wants to take the west coast, then Poseidon City is the point that can't be bypassed."

"And if they want to take Poseidon City, the fortress of the Countdom of Werner is the point they must conquer."

"We can sit back and wait for the other side to attack."

"Consume it with the help of a fortress."

"The fortress of the county of Vilna is unusually strong, the main body is on the peninsula, and a naval fleet is stationed here."

"At the same time, there are three guard walls on the perimeter, and the moat of each wall is connected to the sea, and it is possible to sail boats."

"The enemy came from the eastern land, there was no naval fleet, we held the fortress and completely occupied favorable terrain."

"The other side wants to conquer the fortress, and we use the navy to sneak attack."

"It's enough to make them burn out."

"Agreed, the fortress is strong, and we can choose to defend it."

Inside the castle hall.

A group of heroes agreed with the plan.

And Commander Raymond looked at the map carefully.

Finally nodded.

"That's a good plan."

"There is a fortress and Poseidon City, so you don't have to worry about them surrounding up and sending reinforcements."

"And when it comes to this side, the battle line will be stretched."

"It can also create opportunities for the surprise attack of the legion on the Moon Hill."

"Someone!"

"Herald Corps."

"Defend the Count of Werner's Fortress!"

"Send someone back to Poseidon City."

"Inform the Third Son of our plans."

"Tell them to defend from now on!"

"Yes!"

When the side of Poseidon City chose to defend to the death.

Now.

Inside the castle of the Knights of Mondo.

Christian also opened the map.

The next step of war deployment is being made.

"This is where we are at the moment."

"Knight's Territory of Mondo."

"This is where the enemy retreats."

"County of Vilna."

"After we occupy this place."

"The enemy's strength in this area has become a lonely army."

"Just wait for Yasis to take the air legion and destroy them one by one."

"And then it's westward."

"Take Poseidon City."

"According to the information of the investigation, Poseidon City and the Earldom of Werner have formed a rivalry."

"If we want to attack Poseidon City, we must take the county of Werner."

"But at the same time, you will encounter an attack from Poseidon City."

"Therefore, to capture these two cities."

"We must divide our forces!"

"One legion is holding back the legions of Poseidon City, and one legion is storming the fortress of the Count of Werner."

"I mean that I will lead the main army, bring the magic crystal cannon legion, and blast away the Earl of Werner."

"Cooper, Fiona, Barbarian Sacrifice."

"You bring the Crystal Spear Legion and stop the reinforcements of Seagod City."

"Because the county of Werner is a fortress."

"The outer wall of the guard stretches to the seashore."

"So I must take the vast majority of my forces to storm the fortress of the county of Werner."

"The rest of the corps that blocked the reinforcements of Poseidon City can't give you too much."

Hear this.

Cooper grimaced.

"Your Excellency."

"Poseidon City is equivalent to half of the royal capital of Gondor."

"There is definitely no shortage of the Golden Army."

"If only we take this part of the existing power."

"And there's no support from the Crystal Cannon."

"I'm afraid it's hard to stop for too long."

"Unless you can capture the Countshire Fortress of Vilna in one day."

This time, Christian shook his head as well.

"It's hard!"

"The fortress is too big."

"And with the support of the Sea Corps."

"Griffon Knight reconnaissance before."

"The sea fleet of this fortress is armed with large gunboats."

"This gunboat is not a magic crystal cannon, it's a mechanical cannon made by the goblin clan."

"But even so."

"It can also do a lot of damage to us."

"In addition, the main part of the Countdom of Vilna is on the peninsula."

"When the main part of the attack is followed."

"It's going to take a lot of legions to be cannon fodder."

"So I can't give you too many legions."

"Even a griffin knight can only give 1/3."

Such a small number of troops.

Fiona was embarrassed.

In the legion under his command, although the Dragon Eagle Knights did not have losses, they were not numerous.

The Griffin Knight lost 1/3 of the charge against the cavalry.

Now we will not replenish it, but we will reduce the quantity.

That would be too embarrassing for him.

Although she is a dragon knight.

But a dragon knight is not invincible on the battlefield either.

Moreover!

The opponent is Poseidon City, and it is impossible not to have the means to deal with the dragon knight.

So Fiona spoke.

"Christian, ask Your Excellency for reinforcements."

"There is no war in Gondor now."

"Your Excellency, Lord, should be able to send more troops."

Don't want Christian to shake his head.

"There's news from the Wasteland Territory."

"On the Wind Breath Grassland, the Blue Star Lord has suffered a crushing defeat."

"Lost 1/3 of the troops."

"The dungeon ambushed them with the undead, and its strength grew."

"There is already a vague tendency to prepare for a counteroffensive on the ground."

"At the same time in the direction of Blackwater."

"Traces of the undead have also been found."

"Your Excellency Lord needs to reserve troops to defend the main city."

"In case of being stolen by the monsters in the dungeon."

"At the same time, in the bow and crossbow castle, in the direction of the city, a legion was stationed to prevent the enemy from crossing the border."

"That's why there's only a lot of support that can be given to us!"

"Now these 400,000 elites are already the limit."

As soon as these words came out, the heroes present fell silent.

This war is far more complex than the steppe.

Because it is near the sea on the West Coast Plain.

Although it is a plain, the belt is divided by various islands and rivers.

The terrain shattered made it difficult for the Legion to deploy.

Plus the other party is stubbornly defending.

If you want to attack a city, you have to storm it.

And it can only be attacked by land.

Because they did not have the Navy to assist from the sea.

At sea, the enemy has absolute superiority.

At this time.

Fiona sighed slightly.

"If only we had warships at sea."

"We're storming from land."

"Plus the assistance of warships at sea."

"Not to mention assisting in the attack on the castle, as long as you can hold back the opponent's warship."

And as soon as these words came out.

Christian's eyes lit up.

He immediately stood up sharply.

Said in an excited tone.

"Navy!"

"Wait!"

"We have a navy, and it's strong!"

"Someone!"

"Return to the Wasteland."

"Tell Your Excellency!"

"We need a Cape City battleship!!"

"Obey~"
