Chapter 1217 (1/2)
”This war has been going on for a long time.”
In the battle conference room, William's face looked a little haggard, not as energetic as before.
Sitting around the conference table are the generals responsible for attacking torus fortress this time. Of course, there are few humans, basically all of them are orcs, orcs and elves. Barbarian chiefs dare to fight and kill, but when it comes to discussing tactics with them, it's really a very ridiculous behavior. So William's way of dealing with these people is to tell them when to do what. The result is surprisingly good.
The people present didn't understand William's words very much, so they didn't open their mouth to express any ideas and opinions.
A few days ago, they tried to push the front, but they were stopped by Alexis before they pushed a kilometer.
Far apart, Alexis and kokirei felt the powerful power fluctuation. If they move forward, I'm afraid some less optimistic things will happen. In this regard, William can only choose to give up reluctantly. After all, with this force in his hand and relying on death tactics, I'm afraid it's not enough for the other party to consume.
You know, the qainas Empire also stopped before this fortress.
As for the scheme of underground passage, the current situation is also quite difficult.
The fortress of torus was engraved with large-scale stable magic, which strengthened the whole fortress and several kilometers of ground and 500 meters underground. Although this is not impossible to crack, it takes a long time. It is far from a problem that can be solved in a short time. At least it takes one or two months to dig such a channel. But in this process, once discovered, the consequences can be imagined.
”According to the news from the realm of nothingness, the kingdom of * * * seems to have been completely unable to resist the step-by-step pressure of the qainas empire. It is expected that the whole line will collapse in three months at most. Finally, there is only the layout of the only defense line, the fortress of torus.” William said in a deep voice, and then put the report on hand on the conference table and distribute it to others. Even if only a small number of people can understand it, we must respect William. ”At that time, if we want to occupy the majority interests, it will be impossible.”
”There's no loss.” Someone opened his mouth. It was a Orc who came to the meeting on behalf of a barbarian tribe in the wilderness. ”Anyway, our loss is not big, and this kingdom can't continue to exist. Now it's a victory for us.”
William sighed helplessly.
Because the fortress of torus had been inaccessible, some sweeping and looting had to be carried out around this line of defense. Only in terms of the results of the war, the harvest of the void principality is not small, so it makes the barbaric tribes involved in the war feel a burst of satisfaction. In this way, they naturally have no intention to bite the hard bone of torus fortress.
As for the battle between Alexis and kokirei, they can only block the bombardment of magic crystal artillery once at most, but the next third artillery will certainly cause them to lose one person. William could not bear this loss, because he knew that the key point for the void principality to truly become an empire and gain a firm foothold was the three super powers under Sean.
Without these super strong people, even if you can save enough information, it won't help. On the contrary, more wolves will look around because the fat Duchy of the void is large enough. The first to bear the brunt must be the Millennium covenant Empire and the qainas Empire - William is very clear about the mentality of these empires. Now the so-called cooperation is just based on being unwilling to bear too much losses, But once the void principality could not show the unique strength of the Empire, the qainas Empire would not mind taking a bite.
Even if the military God Jason can trust, the top leaders of the first empire in the East will certainly not give up.
Besides, the most important thing is that William can't tell these savage tribes.
That is Qi Yun.
The void principality needs a little less Qi to be directly upgraded to an empire. This point can be perfectly supplemented only after breaking torus Fortress - if torus fortress was not in front of William, he would not want to chew this difficult bone at all. Unless he is given more troops or more time, he can completely conquer the fortress.
However, what he lacks most now is these two things.
Because of the opening of the four battlefields, today's void principality is not only short of troops, but even the support of logistics lines has become a major problem. William even felt that if he was the general of Ryan Kingdom, he would recklessly lead troops to raid the city of void, and even occupy all the territory of the void principality outside the Great Wall in the gorge, completely cutting off the logistics of all armies of the void principality.
William mentioned this concern in his letter to Neil, but he only mentioned it slightly. Because apart from Sean and William, no one knows that Neil is not only good at internal affairs, but also has terrible talent and vision in military. After all, William is also an apprentice taught by Neil.
But now, these are not the things he should be in charge of. The most important thing for him now is to win the fortress of torus as soon as possible.
So soon, William began to issue new battle orders at this temporary battle conference.
In fact, these operational orders are still simple and old-fashioned: military blockade of several key roads around torus fortress to ensure that no materials can be transported into torus fortress. Then they still loot the surrounding cities and towns, and stop all killing before they don't endanger the lives of their own soldiers. After all, after the establishment of the void Empire, a large labor population is needed, and these prisoners of war are the labor source of the future void empire.
Although Sean banned the slave trade and slavery, the punishment of war prisoners was no different from that of other countries on the mainland. Only the slave treatment of prisoners has been abolished, but this remains the same for non free people. However, if these prisoners of war work hard enough, they can still regain the status of free people by virtue of their own ability, and once they change from prisoners of war to free people, they can also get some preferential policies.
Since the war against the kingdom of * * *, apart from the massacre tactics carried out to involve the defense network at the beginning, the Principality of void has looted millions of people in more than ten territories of the kingdom of * * *. These people are continuously transported into the wilderness through the logistics route, and are regarded as labor force to participate in the construction of various cities, fortresses and defense strongholds in the wilderness.
This is the strategic plan built by Hella, Neil and William: accelerating the growth of the void empire through war.
Although this requires a considerable number of people to take care of prisoners of war and prevent rebellion, the construction of the void Empire has obviously accelerated a lot after the plan has been gradually put on track. In particular, a considerable part of the supply of troops has been supplemented. Although there is still a big gap between becoming a real soldier and an elite force, a perfect reserve force mechanism has been completely established.
As long as this series of wars are calmed down, the void principality will only need a very short period of development time to become a powerful empire that is truly comparable to the five ancient empires.
Whoever it is knows that the Principality of nothingness must not be allowed to spend this time. However, under the scheming tactics of William and Hella, no one can stop it at all, because the two empires closest to the void principality and most threatening the void principality have their own troubles at this time, and the surrounding small countries can only make the current void principality feel some trouble at most, but the degree of trouble is not even thorny.
It can even be said that the reason why they feel trouble is simply because these clowns have chosen too good a time to find trouble. If the three main forces of the Principality of void were not dragged down by the * * * Kingdom, the army of the dead and the southern coalition forces, where would Ryan Kingdom, the karosha tribal United Nations and the Knights of Robyn run out to make trouble.
Just as William gave the order of the new strategic plan, the curtain of the battle conference room was suddenly opened.
A cold wind came in from outside the tent, and the temperature in the whole tent suddenly dropped by more than ten degrees.
This low temperature is not a normal seasonal temperature, but almost turns into a real murderous gas.
Several guards hiding the protection tent immediately appeared everywhere, including a former Peace Council executive who was subdued by Sean.
But these people were stunned when they saw that the intruder was Alexis.
”You all leave first.” William frowned.
He knew the identity of Alexis, and even he had to maintain enough respect for the super strong man. However, he knew very well that Alexis would never interfere in all his military operations. On the contrary, Alexis and kokirei would cooperate as much as possible if it was their own request. At this time, knowing that they were holding a battle conference and broke into here without notice, it proved that Alexis must have something urgent.
After hearing William's words, everyone in the camp got up to salute and left one by one.
When everyone left, Alexis said, ”I'm leaving for a while.”
”Leave?” William was really stunned this time. ”Is there any trouble with Sean?”
