429 Scorched Earth Tactics
Lich Regels, who had assisted the Abyss Delhitan in the inner world of the Spiritual Holy Tower and eliminated this Eternal Holy Cult's nemesis in one fell swoop, had become a member of the noble parliament. He pushed the door and entered Delhitan's study.
Since the Abyss Delhitan successfully seized power, it has become the nerve center of the entire Eternal Holy Church. All matters of all sizes will be concentrated here and Derhitan will be approved by Derhitan. It is also here that Derhitan slowly penetrates his power into the entire Eternal Holy Church system.
"Sir Delitant, the latest battle report from Puglia Mine has been sent."
Delitan, the Abyss, put down the documents in his hand. Even as a dead soul, the feeling of a huge amount of matters that need to be processed piled up on the desk made him quite tired. He even understood why the Holy Emperor got home.
"Why? Was it captured by those juvenile bodies so soon?"
Regels nodded and said, "Yes, it's indeed faster. Eric Moore's lords who were scared out of fear have almost all escaped, leaving only a group of cannon fodder there. To be honest, it has surprised me that the skeleton soldiers can hold on until now.
Now the road to Thunder Castle has been opened to those living, so Lord Delitan, what are you going to deal with next?"
Delhitan, the Abyss, buried his head in the document pile again: "It's very simple. Let the juveniles waste their time on travel and protecting supplies before everything is ready.
By the way, Councillor Regels, I remember that your fiefdom is on the offensive route of those juvenile bodies. My orders may make you a little unacceptable, but I still hope that you can think calmly from a global standpoint and then give an answer."
Regels laughed "hehehe" and said:
"Mr. Delitant, are you planning to turn the eastern part of the peninsula into scorched earth? Fill the wells, burn the grain, destroy the warehouses, and let all the supplies of the siege army be transported from the rear.
This is a very effective tactic against the army of the living. It is a good move. How could I object?
Anyway, there are not many living people in my territory that need to be raised, and I can’t use those things, even if I burn them, I will burn them.”
Delitant, the Abyss, stared at Regels for a long time and said, "Are you really not dissatisfied with the MP? You should know, even if you don't have any juvenile body to support, you should know how much the crops on your territory will be worth when they mature?"
As the undead's demand for human craftsmen and servants is increasing, the number of human farmers is getting smaller and smaller, and the agriculture on the land of the Eternal Holy Church is more completed by humans commanding the low-level undead.
Agricultural output is declining, while human population remains high, which has caused the prices of agricultural products in the Eternal Holy Church to soar.
The terrain of the Leiming Peninsula is high in the west and low in the east. The plains are mainly concentrated in the east, which is where the crusade army will arrive next. Once the scorched earth plan of the Abyss Delitan is implemented, the agricultural nobles in the east will suffer huge losses!
Lich Regels smiled and said, "Of course I know, but I know better that after defeating the siege of the living, you will give me a much more valuable compensation than those food and cattle and sheep."
Delhitan, the Abyss, sighed: "Yes, I do do this, if only the other lords understood the truth as much as you, Councillor Regels."
"No, you think so, you have too high requirements for them." Regels pointed to his head and said, "After all, the undead who can have enough wisdom is only a few, and most of the remaining ones are guys with brute force.
However, they are easy to say. As long as you can explain it to them in advance, even if you have any dissatisfaction in your heart, you will not show it. After all, there is no skeleton king or blood priest now.
Real troublesome food will be insufficient!
Because farmland is destroyed, food production will be significantly reduced this year. If enough food is not plundered from the pagan world before the stockpiles are consumed, a large number of living people will starve to death.”
Delhitan, the Abyss, said indifferently: "There is no need to consider this. As long as you win the crusade army, you can get as much food as you can. Even if the time is too late, it doesn't matter. If it really doesn't work, aren't the crusade army's corpses also meat?
Besides, even if you really starve to death, you will just complete your transformation earlier. What’s there to be a big fuss about?”
"Hehe, Lord Delitan, you are really cruel, but only with such skills can you bring the Eternal Holy Church to glory!"
"Mr. Regels, don't get involved in the bad habits of pagans!" Delitant, the Abysser, glared at him, "Just scorched earth does not give us an absolute advantage. The opponent's strength is not weak. We must do everything possible to weaken their strength before the final battle, so, I need your help!"
"My help?"
"That's right!" said Delitant, the Abyss, "It's not enough that we can't get supplies from our land. We must take the initiative to harass their supply lines so that those juvenile pagans cannot obtain supplies smoothly!
And you, MP Regels, you are familiar with the terrain of the east and are smart enough to be relieved if you are to command the attacking troops."
Lich Regels thought for a while and said, "Your thought is right, but there are dragons in the siege army of the living. If they are there, they will suffer heavy losses if they are not careful!"
Delitan, the Abyss, stared at the Lich Regels and said solemnly: "That's why I want to ask for your help! If you put away that playful mentality, you will have the strength that is comparable to the Big Three!"
Lich Regels finally put away his frivolous expression and said seriously: "Since all adults have said that, then okay, I will take on this task.
However, I have to choose the people under my command. In addition, I also need a large number of low-level cannon fodder to confuse the public. If you are reluctant to leave those cannon fodder, you can only ask someone else to complete this task."
"How is it possible? It's just cannon fodder, and your requirements are fine!"
Lich Regels laughed: "So adults, you can wait for my good news! Those living people will be overwhelmed by me!
Chapter completed!
