Section 107 Preparations for War (II)
Perth Palace.
More than a dozen people attended the Imperial Council, which was the highest military council in Asturias.
In addition to the dignitaries of the royal family who were still in Saint-Quentin, the three dukes of Bourbon, Medici, and Byron were also present, because this meeting was going to decide the strategy of the war that followed.
Now it's the snow season, most of the fighting has stopped, and there are only a dozen days before the ice and snow season will pass, and Asturias will be under great pressure again.
Fortunately, the use of Black Rock lowered the threshold for teleportation, creating the possibility of a large-scale increase in troops, which lifted the spirits of the royal family and the dukes, but how to fight it still needs to be discussed in depth.
Everyone's eyes looked at one side of the wall, and on both sides the map was magically projected, thanks to Solomon's shadow animation, but the projection was a still map.
One is Farusion and the other is Eugudrar.
The decision of the crowd now was to increase the number of troops on a large scale to Farusion, which was also the benefit of the three dukes' willingness to submit to the royal family.
Solomon lowered his head and flipped through the materials, in addition to the two magic maps projected on the wall, each of them had some information in their hands, briefly describing the changes since the beginning of the war to the present.
This helped someone like Solomon who was only in contact with the plane war to quickly grasp the situation, and it was impossible for him to participate in this meeting, which was not possible with his status, and even if the royal family was in charge, the worst participants were people like Austin and Benjamin, who had always been the first in line to the family and had previously been a member of the Privy Council.
However, Edward's reason for including him in the council was that he was now a legion commander, although the actual number of the legions was insufficient.
Solomon's legion. The troops of the orcs are already on their way. It is expected to arrive in the vicinity of Saint-Quentin in the next day or two. The orcs came with Claude's half of the Flame Legion, which was to monitor the orcs with the army, and at the same time, this half of the Flame Legion was going to Pharosion as reinforcements, but Solomon's new legion did not decide where to go, because neither Edward nor Regina thought that he would be able to form it in advance.
Solomon flipped through the materials in his hand, and now he understood the intricacies and peculiarities of the battlefield of Ugudral.
Not to mention how many ** teams there are in Yugudral, the aborigines of this plane alone have several kingdoms or principalities, unlike the aborigines of Farushion, who are mainly fighting between the Lars Empire and the Vosfita Noble Republic.
And the war in Farusion is not the main battlefield of this dimensional holy war. Therefore, the Church of Light did not conduct jihad guidance, and it was basically up to each ** team to establish a teleportation channel on its own.
In Yugudral, it is one of the main battlefields of the Holy War, because the Ropto Order, where its plane is located, has been confirmed to be manipulated by the Infernal Demon Gods.
Therefore, the place of refuge was originally established in Yugudral, and the so-called place of refuge is to gather a large number of priests and priests of the Church of Light, and establish a force field there that is enough to affect the laws of the plane, so that the laws of the heavenly realm can suppress the laws of the plane.
In the Blessed Land, the ** teams blessed by the gods are equivalent to being blessed with the aura of war at all times, and the healing of injuries is accelerated. It is equivalent to being treated by the micro-injury treatment at all times.
In this way, not only will the combat strength of the ** teams be greatly increased, but the number of soldiers killed will also be reduced a lot.
Therefore, the teleportation gates of Yugular that the countries went to rely on the legendary mages to accurately locate them. Concentrated in the Land of Protection.
Although the plane coordinates are actually only a range value for teleportation, if a powerful Legendary Mage helps locate it, it can fall within that range more accurately than to deviate too much.
This has been the case in the main battlefields of all holy wars, so there has always been an unwritten rule that the armies of the nations are not allowed to kill each other in the Blessed Land, and if they want to compete for interests, they can fight each other outside the Blessed Land.
Because we are all fighting against evil for the holy war of common faith, for the will of the gods in the heavenly realm.
This time the holy war in Yugudral has changed dramatically from before, that is, the rift between Asturias and the Church of Light has been very obvious, and they have lost support, only the paladins of the Church of Light have not made a move on the kingdom head-on, but other countries have already fought several wars with Asturias outside the Blessed Land, and if there is no instruction from the Church of Light, at least it has been tacitly approved.
Coupled with the counterattack of the natives, Asturias is certainly not having a good time.
The meeting was going on, and according to the compromise reached between the royal family and the three dukes, the kingdom would send the main force of the additional army to Farusion, not to win, but at least to reverse the current disadvantage.
At that moment, Solomon suddenly raised his head and landed his gaze from the information in his hand on the magical projection map on the wall.
"Wait. ”
"Solomon, what's the matter, do you have anything to say?" Regina said puzzled.
"I've just looked at the record of the course of the war and the map projected on the wall, and I think that Yugudral is also very dangerous now. Solomon said.
"Yugudral is not as dangerous as you said, although it will definitely be under great pressure after the end of winter, but there is a blessed place there, it is really impossible to resist, it is possible to return to the blessed land, and other countries do not dare to attack our ** team in the land of refuge. So, there is nothing wrong with prioritizing support for Farucion. "It was not the three dukes who opposed Solomon, but Benjamin in the royal party.
"No, you see. Solomon stood up as he spoke, walked to the wall of the projection, and gestured his finger over the rough map projected.
Everyone was puzzled at first, and Benjamin's face was even more disapproving, but with Solomon's fingers, his face changed like everyone else.
Judging from the latest map distribution, the territory occupied by Asturias in Yugudral, unconsciously distributed in a linear pattern, so it became longer and longer, like a long snake.
This means that each point is being attacked more and more widely, while the support routes between the various points in Asturias are becoming more and more homogeneous, with only one road line.
Without the Light Church, there was nothing before the rift. Because everybody is here for jihad. According to the previous rules. It is possible to coordinate access to other Queos nations through the Guò Church of Light to pass through the territories they occupy.
But now that this situation is a matter of thought, it is more likely that if the various territories along this line are attacked, things like Aurora and the like will also participate.
In this case, it is equivalent to a long snake being forked by multiple long forks to the head, middle and tail at the same time, and the result may be immobile, and then it will be broken one by one.
When the time comes, not to mention the loss of the battle line, it will be a big problem whether the armies in the various territories can return to the blessed land along the way.
"It's not so strict, is it?" Although thinking of this possibility, Benjamin subconsciously did not want to admit it immediately.
"If someone guides you......" Austin frowned and whispered.
There was silence in the room. Under the chaotic situation before, the territory grabbed in Yugudal also changed quickly, and everyone seemed to start towards a place with abundant resources.
It's just that before the Church of Light, the Kaos states did not directly fight with each other to seize the territory, but if any country was driven away by the counterattack of the indigenous army, the other countries would take advantage of the situation to occupy the territory.
The rift between Asturias and the Church of Light is due to its unfair determination of the ownership of such territories between the two countries.
The Saxon kingdom lost a piece of territory, and the Church of Light ruled that Asturias should return it to the Saxons, claiming that it was the will of the heavenly realm, and exchanged it for another piece of territory that was much worse.
Under pressure from the Church of Light. Asturias agreed at the time.
And when Asturias and the Saxons jointly attacked a certain area with Mithril ore resources, Asturias naturally hoped that the Saxons would give up. As a result, the Saxons did not pay any attention to it, and the Church of Light did not pay attention to it.
When there were many such disputes, it brought friction between the two ** teams, and then the partiality of the Church of Light added fuel to the fire, and finally led to the emergence of cracks.
Fortunately, the Church is not equal to the true will of the Celestial Realm, but can only be regarded as a tool of the Celestial Realm, so even if it breaks with the Church, the Blessed Land will not turn Asturias away.
But this can't change the danger that Solomon is now proposing, these territories in Yugudalar are currently dominated by strong people, such as Strauss, the head and deputy head of the royal mage group, and strong people of the rank of Cleveland are sitting there, so no one dares to attack.
"This is only a possibility, it may not happen, do you want to say that you should give up supporting Faroucion?" the Duke of Bourbon sneered.
"And if we really want to live, there must be more and more troops rushing to these places at the same time, we can't resist at all, the only option is to retreat to the blessed place. Duke Byron said.
The shape of Yugudral's shì is too complicated, the division of the Kaos states, and the original states were also full of grievances before the invasion, but first because of the Ropto Order, and then in order to resist the invasion of the Kaos.
This kind of shì is a bit like raising Gu, putting several poisons in a sealed container, everyone is an enemy, and they can all attack each other, if the disadvantages of Asturias are revealed, and under the deliberate guidance of someone, it is not impossible for the various forces that are hostile to each other to "cooperate" once.
The oldest of the three dukes, the Medici duke, did not speak, but frowned deeply.
"I'm not against the main support of Farucion, but once the situation I was worried about on the side of Yugudral, can I return to the Blessed Land without saying anything, even if I do, I don't think it is absolutely safe. Suddenly, Solomon said.
This time the words came out, and everyone was stunned.
Edward also saw a strange light, and Reginer suddenly propped up one hand on the table, his hand was bruised, and he lost his voice: "You mean ......"
Solomon was talking about a possibility that no one had thought of before, that is, even if they retreated into the Blessed Lands, if at this time, the natives formed a coalition to attack the Bowed Lands in a big way, and someone used the Asturian army as a bait to attract the natives to attack, then the result would be troublesome.
Asturia is tantamount to fighting against most of the native armies on its own, and it is certainly not going to be smooth sailing until the army retreats back to the Blessed Lands, and there will be losses.
After retreating, if the Church of Light, Saxon, Aurora, and other countries that are also Kaos all pour out of their nests, and take advantage of the aboriginal army to attack the native country of the Blessed Lands, then Asturias will be very passive.
It is not possible to withdraw Keos completely, because once it is returned, the Blessed Land will be destroyed, and not only will the Church be blamed, but it is very likely that the Church will take the opportunity to shift all the blame to Asturias in front of the gods of the heavenly realm.
But if you don't withdraw, it will be tantamount to sacrificing yourself to help others resist the big attack of the natives in the blessed land, and even if you win, you will find that your original territory has been completely lost, and the military strength has also been lost, and all the benefits have been taken away by the Saxons and Aurora, and at the same time you will still be condemned by the church.
This possibility was not easy to come by before, because at that time the nations came for the same holy war, but now it is difficult to say.
There was silence, including the three dukes, whose faces were sinking like water, and although they certainly couldn't give up their request for support for Farucion, it wouldn't be good for them if Asturias were defeated at Ugudrar, and the Saxon and Aurora's reinforcements and pressure would also be transmitted to the second battlefield. Moreover, the kingdom is now united, and now is the time to unite with the outside world, and it will not do them any good if the royal forces are severely defeated.
"Solomon, how do you think we should change the situation and avoid this situation, do you want me to start abandoning the longest territories and shrinking the defensive line now while the ice and snow season is taking advantage of it?" asked Edward.
Everyone was shocked, this is indeed one of the ways to deal with it, as long as the battle line is shortened, it will be much easier to withdraw to the Blessed Land, and the losses will not be large, and it will be much easier to defend in the Blessed Land.
In such a situation, if the aborigines attack the place of protection, they may have serious concerns and hesitate.
"Of course, this is a good way, but we still can't take the initiative to get out of the trap, and the initiative is not in our hands. Solomon replied.
Everyone understood what he meant, and this would only increase the cost of the aboriginal attack, but it would not fundamentally eliminate the possibility.
Unless it is certain that the Church and other countries do not put themselves together, no one is sure that this is the case, and the possibility of being put together is quite high.
"Viscount Solomon, I think you must have a way to solve this game, right?" said the Duke of Medici with a sudden smile.
"I had an idea. Solomon muttered, pointing to a location in Yugudral's map.
"Maybe we should consider building a new castle here. (To be continued......)
