With the latest information sent by Shu Xin, Chen Wei and Wood had a better understanding of the enemy's situation.
Looking at the enemy's advancing route, Chen Wei drew a line on the map.
"If we only plan to set the battle line here, is there any way we can do it with our current strength?"
When Wood heard this, he looked at Chen Wei curiously.
"Didn't you plan to go in directly from the beginning?"
"The opportunity has passed."
Chen Wei said calmly.
At the beginning, he really wanted to kill into this player's territory, and even break into this player's capital.
But after arriving here, I realized that the world is very big and the distance is very far.
He also wanted to play blitz warfare, but the problem was that even if Chen Wei's men were all druids, they couldn't fly in such woods.
At the same time, Chen Wei also had to consider the issue of retreat. Along the way, the blitz battle turned into a positional battle.
The most speechless thing is that in order to defend the position, Chen Wei and Wood had to divide their troops again and again.
Even if Chen Wei built two new villages nearby, relying solely on the additional troops from the villages would not be able to withstand the consumption of population and resources.
Opening a branch base is not that easy.
Chen Wei must make a decision now.
It's like retreating without getting anything.
Still stuck here like a nail, waiting for the opportunity to attack the human empire again.
Chen Wei now needs to seriously consider the entire situation.
As the commander at the forefront of the battlefield, Wood certainly understood that they really missed the best opportunity.
If they had ignored everything when they were first teleported here and pounced directly from the sky towards the enemy's capital, maybe this time they wouldn't have fought like this.
Of course, doing that would also have bad consequences. For example, they were trapped in the enemy's territory, and even Chen Wei's portal couldn't take the army away.
If such a situation really happened, then the situation Chen Wei would face would be much more unfavorable than the confrontation before him.
So for a while, Wood didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing that the battle ended like this.
"If we just use this line as the boundary, we can easily defend the territory we occupy, but if we do this, what good will it do?"
Chen Wei smiled at Wood's answer.
"There are no benefits. We occupy this place, and the nearby players are not blind. They will naturally see it.
The new player jumped too much and offended all the nearby players. They were either too far away or lacked the strength to fight him before.
Now that we have occupied territory here, the nearby players will definitely see it, and they will gather here.
What do you think will happen if we fight here with the Human Empire?"
Wood was not an idiot. He knew what Chen Wei was planning as soon as he heard it.
But Wood still said: "Sir, in this case, wouldn't we become bait?"
"What does this have to do with it? Don't we know what we rely on to gain a foothold?"
When Wood heard this, he thought of Chen Wei's talent, natural disaster synthesis.
In the battle, Chen Wei's men will fight more and more, and become stronger the more they fight.
It can be said that this battle is Chen Wei's opportunity.
If he can really attract some nearby players, Chen Wei's gains will not be too small.
At the same time, Wood also saw some thoughts in Chen Wei's mind.
"Sir, do you want to seep sand into the territories of some nearby players?"
"I have this idea. There will always be a fight in the end anyway, no matter where the fight is, it is not a fight."
Chen Wei is not afraid that his subordinates will know his ambitions.
Just as this new player thinks, this continent is only so big. If you don't grab it, others will.
Every additional piece of land he occupies has only advantages and no disadvantages for Chen Wei.
Now all his heroes are thinking about fighting or completing tasks to increase their experience.
Now that Chen Wei wants to say that there is no war left, these heroes will be shaken.
After listening to Chen Wei's words, Wood said nothing more. He also understood that Chen Wei's ambition was reasonable and the plan was feasible.
Then his eyes turned to the line that Chen Wei had drawn before.
This line was not drawn casually by Chen Wei, but was determined based on the situation at hand.
The location of this line is less than 150 kilometers away from the border village. With the speed of Chen Wei's soldiers, it only takes one day at the very least to get there.
If it were all flying troops, it would only take about thirty minutes to arrive.
In other words, if the battle line is set here, the border villages in the rear can support the front line at any time.
Further back from the border village is the original Mingwei Post, which was Chen Wei's first line of defense against the player.
The reason why he draws the battle line forward is to extend the depth.
After this first line of defense is defeated, they still have Mingwei Post to use, and then there is the Forward Fortress.
Just because of this, is it necessary to build a new sentry post here?
Wood also started thinking.
At this time, news came from the front that human troops finally appeared within their monitoring range.
"They came very slowly."
After receiving the information, Chen Wei took a look at it and handed the information to Wood.
Wood also nodded affirmatively.
After all this time, the human troops are still nearly two hundred kilometers away from where Chen Wei and the others are.
Based on their forward speed, it would take at least a day and a half to reach the frontline battlefield.
It's no wonder that Chen Wei and others complained about the enemy's speed.
At this speed of advancement, it was not as enjoyable as when Chen Wei was fighting the elves.
The battles here often lasted for two or three days and lasted only half an hour.
If Chen Wei hadn't been worried about the situation here, he might have gone back to the Calamity Empire directly.
How can I drag myself out here day after day?
But at this time, Oman on the human side was not in a hurry at all.
Under the hands of human players, his main focus is siege warfare.
Unlike other heroes, he does things very steadily.
Because where he is going, the enemies will only increase and will not escape. After all, the city is there and they can't escape even if they want to.
So arriving early or arriving late are the same.
It would be better to have a stable front line and protect the logistics line, so that the siege does not turn into a siege. They cannot consume the troops in the city, which would be ridiculous.
For this reason, he participated in only a few battles, but each time was a long-term battle, and in the end he won most of the battles.
It was the same this time. Although his progress was slow, Oman believed that he would win in the end.
