Fertile fields for thousands of miles, dangerous cities dominate.

After generations of Snowdon ancestors, Vanuna has become one of the strongest cities in the North.

The majestic city wall, which is more than ten zhang high, is made up of countless huge stones piled up in layers, each weighing at least two tons. When the city was founded, in order to extract enough stone, laborers even chiseled two hills, which were then transported through the Shiquan River.

To this day, the river is still one of the main waterways in the middle of Snowton, transporting the abundant produce from the land on both sides to other regions. Vanuna, located at the junction of the Shiquan River and the Vimur River, is the destination of the largest volume of these supplies.

It is precisely because of this that the Holy Duchy of Jonas has been able to sustain itself until now.

In the past year, the situation of the Snowton Civil War has become clearer. Based on the two major war zones of the Holy Blood River and Tiebi Pass, Nacini continued to advance northward, and good news was frequent. The territory under Jonas was reduced to half of its original size, and even the vital Vanuna became the front line of fierce fighting.

The strength of the two sides is becoming more and more different. If the Wolf Plains also falls, allowing Snowton to open up the connection with the Snow Hell Ice Field, it will be surrounded on three sides, and Jonas's situation will be even more difficult.

"Isn't it better for Nacini to do it all in one go?" said Allegri, stunned for a moment, and interjected.

"How can it be so simple," Onesha turned her head to scan the room, and suddenly asked, "Do you have a map of the continent here?"

"It should ...... Yes. Allegri hurriedly stood up, rummaged through boxes and cabinets for a long time, and finally pulled out a crumpled piece of parchment from the corner.

"Vanuna is here, with its tall and strong walls, and a well-established system of defenses, with Jonas as the core. A semi-arc line of defense has been constructed, which is by no means something that can be broken through in a short period of time," the slender jade finger swiped across the map, pointing to it, "on the other hand. The alluvial plains on both sides of the Shiquan River were the largest logistics base of the former Snowton Empire, and the agriculture, industry and commerce were quite prosperous, which could provide sufficient supplies for the front line......"

"So the battle of Vanuna is like a fire burning on the water, Nacini seems to be fierce, but it can't dry the entire water in a short time, and Jonas relies on the location of the fortified city, and the consumption is far lower than that of the other party. Coupled with the upstream water supply, the vitality is slowly recovering......" Onessa patiently concluded, and then asked, "By the way, if you were Nacchini, what would you do?"

"Cut off the water source, and then slowly figure it out?" Allegri replied tentatively, after a moment's thought.

"How?" said Onetsa, who seemed to want to test him. Blink and ask.

"Uh...... Send a small group of rangers to harass the enemy's rear?" Allegri racked his brains. Recalling the military common sense taught to him by Herseus and Dios, he finally held back an answer.

"It's a good idea if the two armies are facing each other," Onissa commented with a soft smile, "but here's the problem. The Shiquan River valley is also part of the Snowton Empire, and it is the territory that Nacini is bound to take, how can he be willing to kill people and set fires, tarnish his reputation, and lose the hearts of the people?"

"That's right......" Allegri nodded abruptly. He really can't figure out these political twists and turns.

"Of course, Nacini is not a fool," Onetha continued, pointing back to the map, "In addition to the mountains of the Eastern Lands, he has mastered the Holy Blood River in the southwest, and the Iron Wall Pass in the southeast, and at the same time, the Snow Hell Ice Fields in the northwest have also declared their allegiance to him...... Now, the Wolf Plain in the northeast is about to fall, and Nacini has firmly held Jonas from three directions, so that he has no possibility of expanding outward......

"What's next?" Allegri asked, subconsciously listening. Nachinani's strategic choices will also affect the situation in the Herseus Valley, which is worth paying attention to.

"He has two strategies to choose from," Onisha leaned back in her chair and said slowly, "One is to mobilize a large number of troops and attack Vanuna with a thunderous momentum, regardless of attrition, without giving Jonas any respite, so that within this year, he can completely unify the entire territory of Snowdon, and there will be no worries from now on...... However, Snowton's dominant cavalry could not exert his strongest combat power in the battle, and he would inevitably suffer heavy losses, so he would not be able to fight south in the next few years. ”

Allegri shook his head, this ambitious lion should not have chosen this way.

"Second, leave part of the army to contain the Nas, take advantage of the civil strife in the Holy See of Light, the vitality of the 'Holy Alliance' is greatly damaged, wave the army south, and immediately start a war," Onesha's finger, across the cast iron mountain range, straight down, "Right now, the entire northern part of the Principality of Ian can be said to be undefended, and it is the best time to send troops to seize it." ”

"Moreover, there is another advantage to leaving Vanuna," the girl in white clothes pointed out the country and scolded Fang Xuan, and seemed to be in control, "Snowton's newly recruited soldiers, as well as the surrendered troops and prisoners, are very weak in combat effectiveness, if they are reorganized and put into the Vanuna battlefield, they can be trained by battle, and a group of elites can be quickly cultivated, and then put into the front line in the south......"

"You have a point," Allegri said, pouring her a cup of tea and passing it over, "come, don't get tired." ”

There are not many people under him who understand the general trend of the world, and there are even fewer who can analyze the situation so thoroughly. As the power of the valley grows, they will inevitably be involved in the wrath of strife, and at that time, such talents will be indispensable.

Onisha took a sip of water, the heat rose, her eyes moistened, I don't know whether it was sadness or melancholy.

"And what should we do?" Allegri asked after a long wait, waiting.

"Since Nacini has sent Catroman here, his choice is self-evident," Onisa's face remained as usual and her tone became much lower when she talked about Anlan's chaos, "Although I don't know what it is, he must have the means to suppress the river valley steadily, so we must be prepared to avoid being caught off guard and falling into a passive situation." ”

After her repeated stresses, Allegri finally began to face up to the problem.

He leaned forward slightly, listening carefully to the other party's opinion. The pale white light casts the shadows of the two on the wall, like a pair of close friends who talk at night.

"By the way, what is the other part of the intelligence about?" Allegri asked casually as he was reserving tea.

"Oh, it's about Midday, the 'Moon Dancer' Alex," Onisha looked at him with interest with a smile on her lips, "I heard Illo say that you can't take your eyes off her when you see her, and you have to be a hero at the dinner table, so you come back drunk?" (To be continued......)
