Chapter 2917 From Tribe to Country

Most of the leaders of the other tribes didn't know that Winterhold would cooperate with the Conquering Cult to attack Stone Pillar Town, and they didn't expect that Trim would spend a lot of money, almost sending out all his strength, even sending out the Ice Barrier Colossus.

The fortifications in Shizhu Town are strong, but they can't stop the ice giant statue and the large group of white dragons attacking from the air. How should we fight this battle?

Everyone has no idea.

Elder Zigmon and the brothers and sisters of the Logan family were the few people present who could still hold their breath.

In fact, they had already learned from Joan's letter that Trim was likely to take part in the war with the Ice Colossus, but they did not disclose it to the outside world for the sake of stabilizing the morale of the army.

This Asa armed force headed by Shizhu Town is actually just a loose tribal alliance. The leaders of other tribes, large and small, have their own thoughts, and their fighting will is not as firm as the members of the Volsung family. Knowing the enemy's strong lineup, some small tribes may not participate in this joint operation.

The problem of discord has plagued the aborigines of the New World for many years.

Many aborigines from small tribes do not have the so-called "ethnic consciousness" at all. In their eyes, clan is the only criterion for dividing distance and closeness. Asa people from other clans are not considered compatriots in their eyes, and there is no essential difference from foreigners. , feuds and scuffles between tribes are commonplace.

The aborigines of the New World cannot be recognized by the international community and are not recognized by the colonists as a "nation-state" in the modern sense. The prejudice from the "civilized world" is certainly the main factor, but the aborigines themselves are not united and their vision is narrowed. Restricted by clan and tribal traditions, the general lack of national and national consciousness is also an unavoidable objective factor.

The younger generation of Asa people, represented by Haakon and Slude, felt deeply after going abroad that people from the Far East generally have a strong sense of nationhood, and this is an indispensable spiritual motivation for building a modern country.

Haakon and Slude also want to introduce this concept to their own people, but the formation of new concepts cannot be achieved overnight, and it needs to be gradually cultivated with efficient publicity and education methods.

The aboriginal tribes in the New World do not currently have these conditions. They can only force loose tribal alliances to unite through unanimous foreign wars and establish a national consensus in fighting side by side.

In fact, in recent years, the formation of the tribal alliance centered on Stone Pillar Town is due to the cohesion provided by the oppression of the colonists. Aboriginal forces to accelerate the awakening of national consciousness.

However, the impact caused by external forces is too violent. If they cannot withstand this wave of too severe tests, the alliance with Shizhu Town as the core will be crushed, and the process of the aborigines in the New World transforming from clan tribes to modern nation-states will also be difficult. It will be interrupted, and the various tribes will disintegrate into a mess again. I don't know how long they will sink in the dark, and whether there will be a day when they will unite again.

Slude is soberly aware of the seriousness of the situation, and has already made mental preparations for this battle that will determine the fate of the Volsung family and even the fate of all Asa aborigines in the New World. He carefully compared the intelligence collected by the giant eagle in the south and the west. Draw a conclusion afterwards.

"The cultist corps led by 'The Butcher' Laval is closer to us, while the Winterhold army is farther away. If both sides continue to march at the current speed, then when the Laval corps arrives outside the town, the Winterhold corps is still at least It takes two to three hours to get out of town."

"Laval is a famous general in the Midgard colony. He should be very clear that it is impossible to capture the heavily fortified Stone Pillar Town with the cult armed in his own hands. It is more reasonable to establish a position outside the town and wait patiently. The allies of Winterhold have come to join us."

"After the rendezvous of the two corps, Laval will probably ask Trim to send the White Dragon Guards to seize the air supremacy. The Ice Colossus will take the lead and break through our army's defensive line with the Colossus' powerful attacking ability. The rest of the ground troops will rely on the Ice Colossus. Steady and steady progress.”

"Slude, your analysis is very reasonable. The question is how should we respond?" Someone asked at the meeting.

"If this battle continues at the enemy's pace, frankly speaking, Shizhu Town may not be able to hold it." Slude did not deny his dangerous situation, and said calmly: "In order to avoid falling into a passive situation, we must seize Take the initiative to attack before the two enemy armies meet, knock down the Laval army with lightning speed, and then turn around and clean up the Winterhold army."

As soon as the voice fell, there was a commotion in the hall, and most of the tribal leaders shook their heads repeatedly, opposing Slude's overly radical battle plan.

"Slude, give up the position and take the initiative. Is it too risky to do so?" Even Elder Siegmund didn't think it was a good idea, "We have spent a lot of effort to build a defensive position. decoration?"

"Elder, the greatest value of the position is not in defense, but in making the enemy think that we will only defend passively."

Slude patiently explained his combat thinking.

"Compared to the Laval Corps, our army's biggest advantage lies in the air force and everyone's proficiency in the mobility of cavalry and archery. We first dispatched wing cavalry and giant eagles to focus on bombing the enemy's hanging trees, blood-sucking tree roots, and activated catapults. , the ground troops cooperated with the air force to launch a surprise attack, the Armor Knights rushed forward, the Grenadier Cavalry and the Lancers covered the Mechanical Armor and followed up. With the powerful grenades, magic grenades and 'wind guns', within two hours It is not impossible to overwhelm the enemy."

Seemingly infected by the confidence in Slude's words, the discussions in the venue quieted down, and people began to think seriously about the feasibility of this combat plan.

"Slude, don't forget that there are many white dragons at Winterhold. If a large group of white dragons come to support Laval's troops, do you still have the confidence to control the air?" Haakon asked his sister in a low voice.

"I don't dare to say that I'm completely sure, but I still have 60% to 70%!" Slude further analyzed, "Our army has two 'gale'-class magic airships, each equipped with 32 aviation cannons, The firepower is fierce enough to suppress the group of evil dragons, plus two giant eagle regiments and twenty hussars, the White Dragon Guard of Winterhold has a great chance of winning."

At her words, most tribal leaders changed their position in favor of the initiative.

Sensing the change in the atmosphere in the venue, Elder Zigmun looked at Slude with a gratified smile.

"Girl, it seems that you have learned a lot of real skills in the military academy in the Far East in the past two years. In the future, Shizhu Town will also have a military advisor who can advise you!"
