Chapter 1336 Starting The Counterattack (2/2)
”I knohat you are confused about” Edith waved her hand ”It looks like we got this result just after a few retreats, and our battle plan seems incredibly simple But in reality, that is not the case When you were in The Union you usually stayed at the rear so it's not strange that you don't understand—to put it simply, only the current First Ary”
”The First Army that journeyed far to the Taquila Ruins can't either?”
”At least, they wouldn't do better” The Pearl of the Northern Region explained, ”The difference between retreating and being defeated is often as thin as paper Just being able to e pressures is extre orderly If it had been those nobilities' ar apart upon command is the best that could be expected out of theht raid, and the previous separated squads hadn't de commands, I wouldn't have dared to take the risk and put this plan into motion”
”Also, the effects of the neeapons are very obvious In the streets of the city, without the support of Longsong Cannons, they were able to oppose the eneuns and cannon fire And the biggest advantage to these weapons is distance, as soon as the the entire are would be within our hands the whole tiical to achieve such a result in this battle”
Edith paused ”But it is the truth that we have lost our peripheral defense line, so our next step is the key part to our entire plan As soon as the demons seize all four cities, they will definitely start planning the next attack Cage Mountain is both a protective screen and the production site for the rawthe retreating tactic We th before they recover”
”Red Mist…” Agatha said in a low voice
”Correct, these four cities are all outside of the Red Mist region and the demons' reliance on their supply lines will increase substantially, the reappearance of the Red Mist supply line is very likely The battle front is now basically stretched across the entire Kingdom of Wolfheart, I don't believe they will be able to reach everywhere”
”Before the storage toere constructed, the only thing that the demons could rely on were the the obelisk-like Fortress-like Monstrous Beasts and manpower for transportation,” Iron Axe added ”Before, the attacks they launched fro to Lightning's and Maggie's observations, their protection of the Fortress-like Monstrous Beasts drae nu the four cities the support line of the main force was all hidden inside the Red Mist Noever, they will all be exposed under the eyes of the First Army”
”The problem is that this atha said hesitantly ”The Fortress-like Monstrous Beasts can move around by themselves, and aren't really scared of the attacks of the Aerial Knights, we can only send out land troops in order to destroy them But if we can see the enemy, then the enemy can see us as well Even if the protection of the Monstrous Beasts decreases, they can send out laston the journey to and back, we are very likely to lose the advantage of distance If ere chased and caught by the demons…”
In the entirely exposed battle of their encounter, even if the First Army could defeat the demons, their own losses would be severe
”Thus, speed is key” Edith raised the corner of her mouth ”All we have to do it complete our counterattack before the eneatha looked at the e Mountain to the four cities There were quite a nu paths as well as the hard roads that were constructed later for speeding up evacuation They were spread around like a spiderweb in between the four cities and Cage Mountain
But these paths did not have the ability to decrease the distance The First Are numbers of horses, it was doubtful whether they could catch up with the Fortress-like Monstrous Beasts What'swhile riding, and this would not be enough for confronting those behemoths
”Of course, it won't happen now” The Pearl of the Northern Region seemed to notice her puzzlement ”This plan still lacks a key eleht place are all conditions fulfilled According to the plan though, you will be able to see it very quickly”
