Chapter 477: Strategic Defense

Sawan listened quietly to the arguments of several people, in fact, everyone said that there was a point, but their perspectives were different. However, neither taking the initiative nor holding fast on the defensive can completely solve the current problem. The current Holy Cult Army has not yet reached the point where it can both defend solidly and take the initiative at the same time, and they can only choose one between the two.

"If it's like the Eastern Empire, maybe you can do both......" Sawan felt a little envious of the Eastern Empire.

Celea, Hortz and the others continued to debate whether to take the initiative or strengthen the defense, but no one could convince the other, and finally everyone had to turn their eyes to Savan, hoping that he would make a final decision. Sahain's mind kept thinking about what was most important, it was impossible to do everything in the current situation, he had to make a choice and put what came first.

Sawan pondered for a long time, and finally spoke: "At present, it is almost impossible for us to completely destroy this Dark Devil Army, even if we can do it, the price must be very large, I think this is the real purpose of the Dark Devil Army, using the constant war to consume us, until the day when we can no longer support it, they will start a real attack." So, I don't think it's the best time to take the initiative right now. ”

Savan's words were a decisive decision, and this time the battle would take a defensive stance. Hortz, Lyanna, and Lothrian all showed disappointed expressions, the Holy Cult Army had been actively attacking other countries for a long time, and this time it was difficult for everyone to adjust their mentality when they switched to defense.

"I know you want to wipe out the Dark Devils sooner, but the time is not right now. Also, I want to ask you something, what do you think is the most important thing in the current situation?" Sawan asked suddenly.

Several people looked at each other, not understanding what Savan meant, why did they suddenly ask about this at this time. After a moment of silence, Hortz was the first to speak: "I think the most important thing at the moment is the army, and the number of our troops at present is obviously not enough to meet the requirements, otherwise we can encircle and suppress the Dark Devil Army while strengthening the defense." ”

Sawin listened to Hortz's words and turned his gaze to Lyanna. Seeing this, Lyanna hurriedly said: "I think it's armament, now our armament is still insufficient, if we have enough horses, we can immediately form a strong cavalry, and at that time it will be a matter of course to destroy the Dark Devil Army." ”

Without waiting for Savan to look at him, Lothrian said: "I agree with Lord Hortz, we have always implemented a policy of elite troops, but at present, the number of people is the first, many things we seem to be stretched, the key is that the army is too small. ”

None of the answers were the answers Savin wanted, he shook his head and said, "You don't understand what I mean, what I'm asking is, in the current situation, what are we fighting for first? land, population or resources?"

Everyone suddenly showed a sudden look on their faces, and they all began to think, Sawin didn't want to tell everyone the answer directly, this matter needs to be figured out by everyone, otherwise it will return to the mode that everything has to be decided by him in the future.

At this time, Alvin suddenly said: "I understand what the adults mean, the most important thing for us now is the population, and we have to fight for more people." ”

The others immediately turned their heads to Alwyn and looked at him as if they didn't understand, thinking about what he meant. Sawan nodded in satisfaction, and it was Elwin who was the most politically observant of the group, the first to sense what he was thinking.

Sawan said: "If the land is lost today, it can be reclaimed tomorrow, and resources can be found, and even spent money to buy them, but the population is indispensable." Our soldiers come from the people, and the people of the Dark Devils are also from the common people, and whoever has the population will be able to hold out in this war to the end. ”

"Do you mean that we should move the population from the north to the south?" asked Lothrian.

"That's right, as long as the population is moved to the south, even if the north is all returned to the Dark Devils, it will be nothing, sooner or later we can take it back. As long as the Dark Devils lose their population, they will die one less and we will have a steady stream of soldiers. In the current situation, it is impossible to extinguish the Dark Devil Army in the short term, and everyone must be prepared for a long-term war. Sawan said very calmly.

"The north is so big, it's not easy to move so many people. Hortz shook his head.

"It's obviously impossible to move them all, and we can't force them, it's better to let them move south on their own initiative, which would save them a lot of trouble," Sawan said. I have a way to do it, we can hold a few big northern cities first, and set up a teleportation channel there so that we can move them to the south. It's impossible to defend the whole north, but we can still defend a few cities. ”

Savan's proposition made everyone ponder, and it can be said that this is a strategy that no one has ever thought of, to fight for population and give up land, so that there will be a situation in the north that is thousands of miles away, and it can be said that the situation is very similar to that of the Lysa Peninsula. Over the years, the Holy Cult Army has always maintained a state of outward expansion, but this time it will turn into a defensive posture, and everyone's mentality is still a little unsuitable for a while.

However, since Sahain has already set a strategy, it is natural that it will be implemented next, and everyone knows this very well about Sahain, so no one has any objections. Then we started to talk about how to implement the strategy set by Sawin, which was only a few words, but it was very complicated to implement.

The northern countries had to support this strategy first, and the countries that were devastated by the Dark Devils this time were mainly concentrated in the northwest, including the western part of Correa. If the population of the north is to move south, Correa must pass, and if Correa does not express his position, other northern countries will probably not be able to make up their minds.

As soon as Correa was mentioned, the task of convincing the other party naturally fell to Celia, who made her a member of the El Shira family. Celia also knew that she couldn't pass this matter on to others, so she agreed without saying a word. In addition to Correa, the largest country, there are actually many other countries in the north, although there are not as many as in the south, but there are still more than a dozen in total, and it is obviously impossible to convince them one by one.

Sahain proposed to organize a conference attended by the kings of the six countries, at which the current situation would be explained to the countries in a unified manner, and then the method of moving south would be decided. Although Savin also knew that there must be a very small number of kings who were willing to give up the entire country and choose to move south, in the current situation, it was only possible to do so.

Alvin reminded Savan: "My lord, I'm afraid few people will agree to this, after all, this is not only to give up the land, but also to make the kings give up their thrones, once they get to the south, they will be rich at best." ”

Sawin nodded: "You're right, but those local lords may not go all the way to the black, compared to the territory, they probably value their lives more, once the dark demon army attacks, then they will have nothing." ”

"What do you mean...... As long as we can move the lords below the king, as long as a few lords are willing to let us set up a teleportation channel in the city, the people will naturally move to the south. Alvin said.

"That's right, that's what I thought, the people themselves have long legs, and I don't believe that the king can stop the people fleeing for their lives when the great calamity comes. Sawan said confidently.

Alwin was still a little worried, and said: "But the people may not know the current situation, as long as the king and the nobles do not publicize it, I am afraid that many people do not know the current situation." ”

Sawin smiled: "Isn't this simple, don't forget that we still have troops who can fly, let them go around and drop leaflets, and the people will soon know the truth of the matter." ”

When everyone heard Savan's idea, they couldn't help but applaud it, and praised it for being really good. So Alwyn volunteered to go to the north, secretly contacting the lords everywhere and convincing them to move south as soon as possible.
