Chapter 147 (2/2)

A third of Sleuweir’s th and forty percent of the country’s spellcasters were gathered in the city A total of nine large-scale Mage Tower and thirty e Tower faced the ravine near the Beasthout the ere so dense itat it fro effort and investnable fortresses on the continent

As an infallible fortress, it had locked the Beastmen out from the human society for two hundred years It was said that its establishment was heavily supported by the countries of the Northern Lands and the several powerful empires of the continent

Ever since its establishment, those city walls which even Giants were unable to clireatest obstructions to the dreae weapons, they found the a fortress of such size with the few aerial tribes and troops they had was a mere dream Even the previous Great Chieftain of the Beastmen Tribes had died beneath the walls of the fortress

But if I had to speak, it was all a nable fortress really exist in the world? You ular arainst assassinations and Forbidden Spells? Placing all of their eggs into a single basket was the wrong strategy Even if the fortress was truly inable, the enemy could choose to circumvent the fortress Even if there is no plausible route at the moment, it is possible for the eneinot Line of Earth had already proven that only establishi+ng a fixed defensive line against an eneenerals and military officials of this world viewed fortresses as an iy Sleuas also a country that believed in the importance of fortresses and had benefited for centuries due to the existence of the fortress After this painful lesson, all of the military schools would probably research the causes of failure of this war and use it as a case study—a negative roleoverly obsessed with fortresses was a foolish decision

The trade and coned with the Beast, the Beastmen had infiltrated into deep into their lands, ferociously tearing apart every single human they could see

The Earth Elemental God Emordilorcan was definitely h-intensity earthquake, he changed the geographical structure of the Northern Lands, causing another narrow ravine leading fro that inable fortress-like the eyes of a cave-dweller—ornaed directly to the core of the Sleuweir Kingdo all around to assault and take down the various cities Of which, half of the entire Blood Axe Tribe headed straight for Sleuweir’s capital, Antuen

In order to create even more chaos and keep the military of the various fief lords under control,uerilla attacks on the various armies Given how they themselves were in a precarious situation, the fief lords chose to utilize the arle month since the outbreak of war, Antuen was already in an eency situation Sleuweir’s downfall came even faster than anyone had expected

At this moment, I am helpless

It was not that I didn’t want to do anything, but the first round of snow had struck before I could return to the East Mist Coh its arrival ithin expectations, it was still unwelcos that I needed to attend to and the snow truly fell at an inopportune time

The winter of the Northern Lands was exceptionally brutal The white snow had already covered all of Diffindor Snow half a meter deep piled up on the streets There were barely any pedestrians in sight on the streets

Such weather was a disaster The horses would sink into the snow if they tried to traverse this weather The weather would cause their body temperature to fall rapidly and precious war horses would si rule that had gradually come into place in the Northern Lands in these few years, when a country had been invaded by the Beastn race, the other countries had to provide them a certain level of aid or send their troops to reinforce them Back then, the one to enjoy such aid was often Karsomi Communal Country

However, it was a pity that the snow that affected ed it all

The resources were unable to arrive on time and the reinforcement was stuck on the way On the other hand, the Beast in their attacks to capture the capital of Sleuweir This was a hopeless situation

The cruel natural world was equal for all Traditionally, there would be a ceasefire when the snoas sufficiently heavy to lock down theon the battlefield was a kind of dream No matter what, it was somewhat a shame to freeze to death on the battlefield; the family members of the soldier would often be tempted to curse at the lessly on the battlefield

Fortunately, as the effect of the Fire God’s Blessing faded, the Beastradually started to limit their sphere of operations and used the cities they had taken down as their base

Truthfully, even without Elisa’s Fire God’s Blessing, the ould have still broken out early

On another aspect, while Elisa’s naher echelons of the Beastmen, Eron and his Blood Axe Tribe—due to the accuainst them—started to be isolated within the Alliance arh the Beastic considerations, it also showed that Eron, who had e, was unable to hold onto his leadershi+p position

At this moment, the other three Chieftains also had tribes that supported then would be determined by the results of this battle

Everyone knew they could not delay this war to spring of next year; the hudoms would not watch idly as Antuen fell and Sleuas destroyed The moment the snow halted and the army was able to move, it would spell the outbreak of war

Furtheriven that the ould be conducted in the midst of winter, it would determine the survival of the various races within the lands The as bound to be exceptionally cruel Even the non-conificantly

At present, I was busy dealing with military affairs as well

“Has news froress with the le Gray Das a naturaland Ore Perception Of which, the sensitivity that the Blacksmith Master Gray Dwarf Hoyle held toward ores was not soardless of whether it was for trade or military purposes, the East Mist required endless aiven howweapons, the er And the in from the mines

This was the lifeline of the East Mist Even ar had already broken out, I still regarded it as our priority

While I returned to Diffindor in advance due to the outbreak of war, I left Hoyle and the other Gray Dwarves at the Barbarians’ territory to hunt for mines If even they were unable to find any ore, it would be impossible for the human e is indeed a mine deposit We have already found two superior ic metal mine, and tel mines However, it will take a period of time before we can develop it Lord Hoyle’s applied for the assistance of machines and spellcasters and he had specifically listed the Beyar Brothers to assist hi the mines? Seems like it is the only viable solution to achieve results in the short run Fine, send the Beyar Brothers to help him However, remember to warn him to take note of their safety Do not come into conflict with the Barbarians They are inflexible people; offending the thehness We will convey your words to hi the nas…”

The various assistants came to and fro my desk, the military documents that had accumulated in my period of absence crushed the desk Innu at me all at once

While I did not intend to interfere with the governance of the country, just theheadache

At such a moment, I couldn’t help but miss Elisa After all, while others could only serve as assistant, Elisa, who I had brought up personally, had working abilities that were in no way inferior to mine, and I could dump all of ht, Elisa was still in the Chaos Abyss and thinking about all these was less I should devote my attention to the probleoing well It is possible for the city to fall at anyfroh ere filled with discontent it on the verge of destruction, these young assistants felt uneasy

I noddedto the other party that I had received his words After which, I fell into deep conteh I was extremely unsatisfied with their royalty, I couldn’t watch as the Mist citizens in those countries were slaughtered Furthermore, the moment Sleuweir fell completely, East Mist would be embroiled in the war and the current East Mist was not well-equipped for war yet

While we had to save theo about doing it We had to build a reputation for ourselves to gain the initiative in our foreign diplo too far to rattle the foundations of the already weak East Mist

After a long time, I finally made my decision

“Send a letter to Antuen and say that the neutral East Mist requires a sufficient reason to interfere in the war, so they have to request for help publicly Right, have them send a request to the various Churches as well Yes, a request for us to send our troops to help them ward off the invaders Only this ill Lord Wunize the necessity and justice of the war, and ill be able to send our troops to aid them

“Didn’t you say that I was an i that the East Mist was deceiving the world, even sending a report to the various kingdoms and Churches Noill see how you will settle with the aftere publicly, let the other countries understand the new system East Mist operates by As for the latter, dump it on the ‘Emperor’ Feimer Carson”

If you want me to save you, lower your heads and reflect on your actions! S everything that you had spouted previously!

I was not worried that Feimer wouldn’t lower his head After all, the situation in Antuen wasn’t going well and when there was a tangible threat to their lives, so many people would become much ht after clai that I am an imitation, they immediately turn around to request assistance from the imitation Furthermore, the one ill come to their aid will most likely be the ‘de the matter for a while, under the current circumstances, the most suitable reinforcements to send them was still my Undead army, who didn’t fear the cold In the previous report, that fellow ter his contempt and frustration at all

“How can I miss out on such an ideal opportunity to conduct a Winter Hunt? It is also an ideal opportunity to train our troops Have every Knight bring along two squires with them! Have those little fellows prepare themselves We will head out as soon as the snow stops!”
