Chapter 642, We Need Warships From Cape City!
Count Werner's castle.
"Your Excellency."
"The news just came from the scouts on the front line."
"The 50,000 vanguards who went forward have been completely wiped out."
"In addition!"
"The scouts also reported that a large number of retreating legions were seen on the road to Mondo Castle."
As soon as this news came out.
The heroes of the Church of Poseidon in the hall of the Count's castle.
There were bursts of surprised voices.
"Hiss, they really set up an ambush."
"Sure enough, they are treacherous."
"I heard that the one leading the troops this time is Christian, 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 its foreign wars."
"She is a famous general in the Glory Calendar era!"
"Fortunately, Lord Raymond saw through their conspiracy, otherwise we would go to rescue them."
"If we encounter an ambush halfway, we will inevitably suffer heavy losses!"
"No, we may even be wiped out."
"Since the other party dares to set up an ambush at this time."
"They must be well prepared. I'm afraid they want to eat us up in one bite."
"This is a typical siege."
"But there is something I can't figure out. The other party attacked our Mondo Castle by surprise."
"They have deployed heavy troops to ambush us again." "
"At the same time, they surrounded our 50,000 vanguard corps."
"How many troops are there!"
"It must be at least 600,000."
"Impossible, how can a lord have so many corps!"
"They have a population limit!"
"Yes, Fang Yuan has many military territories, and the soldiers produced by the military territories do not occupy the lord's population."
"But 600,000 troops should be his limit."
"According to the intelligence of the Blue Star Sea God Church, Fang Yuan did not seem to mobilize all his forces to participate in the war this time."
"It is impossible to have 600,000 on the West Coast Plain."
"Not necessarily. According to the intelligence from Blue Star, Fang Yuan is extremely cunning."
"We don't have specific intelligence and can't make an accurate judgment on him."
Just when everyone was arguing about how many troops Fang Yuan had.
Raymond, the commander-in-chief, "coughed".
Then the hall became extremely quiet.
"It doesn't matter how many soldiers the other side has."
"What we need to discuss now is what to do next after losing the Mondo Knight Territory!"
Raymond waved his hand.
A map appeared in front of everyone.
"This is where we are now."
"County of Werner."
"Located northwest of the original Mondo Knight Territory."
"Southwest of Poseidon City."
"Three hours away from the West Coast Passage."
"The current location can no longer threaten the West Coast Passage."
"That means that our original plan has failed."
"We must make a new plan to contain the Blue Star Lord."
"What good ideas do you have? Come on!"
The heroes present looked at the map.
They all showed a thoughtful look on their faces.
After a moment.
Someone spoke up.
"Sir."
"Why don't we send troops from here and compete with the other side for the Mondo Knight Territory."
"Anyway, our plan is to contain them."
"Taking the initiative to attack can also contain them."
"Even if the other side has 600,000 troops, the number of soldiers under our command exceeds that of the other side."
"We are fully capable of fighting them in the wild!"
But someone soon objected.
"I don't agree."
"It takes more than two hours from our current position to the Knight Territory."
"It's too far to march."
"If the vanguard is surrounded again."
"The consequences will be disastrous."
"And among the legions we brought, there is only one golden legion, and the rest are not all orange legions."
"There is also a part of the purple legion."
"It's quite different from Fang Yuan's legion."
"In a decisive battle in the wild, our troops are superior, but our overall strength is at a disadvantage."
"Besides, one million vs. sixty 10,000, although there is a difference of 400,000. "
"But in a decisive battle between large armies, the difference of 400,000 is acceptable and can be compensated by tactics."
"So I think we should hold on and form a pincer attack with Poseidon City."
"Although the Earldom of Werner is far away from the Knightdom of Mondo."
"But it is relatively close to Poseidon City."
"In the old continent, this was originally the outer fortress of Poseidon City."
"We hold on here."
"If the enemy wants to attack Poseidon City, they must attack us first."
"If they attack Poseidon City directly."
"We can attack their rear."
"We can pincer attack them."
"So, we should defend the Earldom of Werner."
"It is our best choice!"
After this suggestion was made, it was immediately recognized by others.
"I agree!"
"The other party invaded the West Coast Plain just to drive us away."
"He is the active attacker, and we are the defender."
"Since the Mondo Knight Territory has been taken away."
"Then we can simply retreat to Poseidon City."
"If the other party wants to take the West Coast, then Poseidon City is a point that cannot be bypassed."
"And if they want to take Poseidon City, the fortress of Earldom of Werner is the point they must conquer."
"We can just sit in the fortress and wait for the other party to attack."
"Use the fortress to consume it."
"Werner The fortress of the earldom is extremely strong. The main part is on the peninsula, and a naval fleet is stationed here. "
"At the same time, there are three outer walls, and the moat of each wall is connected to the sea and can be navigated by ships."
"The enemy came from the east land, without a naval fleet, we defended the fortress and completely occupied the advantageous terrain."
"The other side wants to capture the fortress, we use the navy to launch a sneak attack."
"This is enough to make them anxious."
"Agree, the fortress is strong, we can choose to defend it to the death."
In the castle hall.
A group of heroes agreed with this plan.
And Commander Raymond looked at the map carefully.
Finally nodded.
"This plan is good."
"With the fortress and Poseidon City, we don't have to worry about them surrounding and attacking the reinforcements."
"And when we get here, the battle line will be extended."
"It can also create opportunities for the surprise attack of the army on the Moon Hill."
"Come on!"
"Send the message to the army."
"Defend the fortress of Count Werner!"
"Send someone back to Poseidon City."
"Inform the Third Son of our plan."
"Tell them to defend from now on!"
"Yes, sir!"
When the Poseidon City side chose to defend.
At this moment.
In the castle led by Knight Mondo.
Christian also opened the map.
Making the next step of war deployment.
"This is our current position."
"Mundo Knight Territory."
"This is where the enemy retreated."
"County of Werner."
"After we occupied this place."
"The enemy's forces in this area have become isolated."
"Just wait for Yasis to bring the air army to eliminate them one by one."
"The next step is to move west."
"Take down Poseidon City."
"According to the reconnaissance information, Poseidon City and Earl of Werner have formed a pincer attack."
"If we want to attack Poseidon City, we must take down Earl of Werner."
"But at the same time, we will encounter attacks from Poseidon City."
"Therefore, if we want to capture these two cities, City."
"We must divide our forces!"
"One legion will block the legion of Poseidon City, and one legion will attack the fortress of Earl Werner."
"I mean that I will lead the main legion, bring the magic crystal cannon legion, and blast open Earl Werner."
"Kubo, Fiona, and the barbarian priest."
"You take the magic crystal gun legion to stop the reinforcements of Poseidon City."
"Because Earl Werner is a fortress."
"The outer warning wall extends to the sea."
"So I must take most of the force to attack the fortress of Earl Werner."
"I can't give you too many of the remaining legions to block the reinforcements of Poseidon City."
Hearing this, Kubo's face showed difficulty.
"Sir."
"Poseidon City is equivalent to half of Gondor's capital."
"There is definitely no shortage of golden legions."
"If we only take the current force."
"Without the support of the magic crystal cannon."
"It will be difficult to hold out for too long."
"Unless you can capture the Earl of Werner's Fortress within a day."
This time, Christian also shook his head.
"It's very difficult!"
"The fortress is too big."
"And there is also support from the sea legion."
"The griffin knights conducted reconnaissance before."
"The sea fleet of this fortress is equipped with large gunboats."
"This gunboat is not a magic crystal cannon, but a mechanical cannon made by the goblins."
"But even so."
"It can also cause huge damage to us."
"In addition, the main part of the Earl of Werner's Fortress is on the peninsula."
"When attacking the main part later."
"A large number of legions will be needed as cannon fodder."
"So I can't give you too many legions."
"Even for the Griffin Knights, I can only give you 1/3."
Such a small number of troops.
Fiona was embarrassed.
In his legion, although there was no loss of Dragonhawk Knights, there were not many of them.
Griffin Knights lost 1/3 in the fight against the cavalry charge.
Now he is not given any more and has to reduce their numbers.
That would be too difficult for him.
Although she is a dragon knight.
But a dragon knight is not invincible on the battlefield.
Besides!
The opponent is Poseidon City, it is impossible that there is no way to deal with the dragon knights.
So Fiona spoke.
"Christian, ask the lord for reinforcements."
"There is no war in Gondor now."
"The lord should be able to send more troops."
Unexpectedly, Christian shook his head.
"News came from the Wasteland Territory."
"On the Wind Rest Grassland, the Blue Star Lord suffered a disastrous defeat."
"1/3 of his troops were lost."
"The dungeon used the undead to ambush them, and their strength increased greatly."
"There is already a vague trend of preparing to counterattack the ground."
"At the same time in the direction of Blackwater City."
"Traces of undead were also found."
"Your Excellency the Lord needs to keep troops to defend the main city."
"To prevent the monsters in the dungeon from stealing the house."
"At the same time, in the direction of the crossbow castle and the branch city, there are legions stationed to prevent the enemy from crossing the border."
"So the support they can provide us is limited!"
"Now these 400,000 elite troops are already the limit."
As soon as these words came out, the heroes present fell silent.
The complexity of this war is far beyond the grassland.
Because the West Coast Plain is close to the sea.
Although it is a plain, it is divided by various islands and rivers.
The fragmented terrain makes it difficult for the large army to deploy.
In addition, the other side is stubborn.
If you want to attack the city, you must attack it by force.
And you can only attack it by land.
Because they don't have the navy to assist from the sea.
At sea, the enemy has an absolute advantage.
At this time.
Fiona sighed slightly.
"If only we had warships at sea."
"We will attack from land."
"Add the assistance of warships at sea."
"Not to mention assisting in attacking the castle, as long as we can delay the opponent's warships."
As soon as these words came out.
Christian's eyes lit up.
He stood up immediately.
He said in an excited tone.
"Navy!"
"Wait!"
"We have a navy, and it's very strong!"
"Come on!"
"Return to the Wasteland Territory quickly."
"Tell the Lord!"
"We need warships from Cape City!!"
"Yes~"
