Seven Dragons, November 11, 1034, Duchy of the Falcon, Brno

The morning sun shook off the coldness of the night, but the city had fallen, and a faint smoke rose from the burned buildings, and the streets were filled with patroling demon soldiers. Surviving citizens hid in their respective homes, peeking through the cracks of the doors and windows at these legendary creatures that would only destroy and kill.

For the demons, it was an easy siege battle, with few defenders and low morale. Even though they had already gone through a long marche, they still had only paid a small amount of casualties and occupied this key point.

But for the Duchy of Falcon and the Church of Light, this is a disaster, because to the east of the city is the most important grain-producing area of ​​the Duchy of Falcon, and to the north is the last pass of the holy city, the door of heaven...

Now, all of this will be threatened by the blazing flames in this hell, and the person who controlled this flame was standing on a small hill a few kilometers east of the city, pointing to the front and smiling:

"I'm going to fight a war here."

"Lord, this..."

As soon as Ward's words came out, the lords, generals and staff around him looked at each other, and they could not keep up with each other's Fei's mind at all.

"Master, the soldiers have been fighting for several days in a row, and they are very tired, and the subsequent troops have not kept up..."

"Lord, according to the information, the Duchy of Falcon has transferred all the troops that can be mobilized during this period and also asked for help from allies around us. Now, less than ten kilometers away from us, several elite legions of the Duchy of Falcon, several border legions of the Duchy of Griffon, and the already elven Nightingale Legion, and about 180,000 troops have been gathered."

"And these seem to be elite legions, not those kind of inferior local army."

"I think...it's more appropriate to take control of the city and wait for the subsequent troops to arrive..."

"In order to hide, the air fleet is also far away, and there is no air supremacy. I am afraid it is..."

Although they all took a very careful tone, most people's opinions were clear. Although their elite troops are now highly motivated, their long-term combat has also exhausted the soldiers, and the air force and logistics have not kept up. It is definitely not a good idea to fight the coalition forces in the wild.

However, Ward shook his head, then waved his hand, and immediately walked up to the two players and unfolded a huge map.

"This is Brno..."

Pointing to the upper left corner of the map, Ward's white gloves were slid along the top of the map.

“…This is a boulevard leading to a town called Ostery.”

His finger stopped at the upper right corner of the map, then returned to the right position in the middle of the road, and winded downwards.

"To the southwest of the city, there is a river that runs straight to the north and south, called the Goldbach River. The water flow is not turbulent, neither wide nor deep..."

His fingers stopped under the map for a long time, and Ward's hand suddenly pulled to the left side and drew a long way to the other end of the map opposite the Goldbach River, as if writing a flowing brushwork.

"A little over ten kilometers east of the city, there is also an east-west river called the Rausniz River, but the distance is very far and will not affect the battle, but one of its tributaries..."

Following the Rousniz River to two-thirds of the position, Ward's finger suddenly twisted and slashed diagonally below the map.

“…the Litava River, which extends southwest here and eventually converges with the Goldbach River.”

As he focused on the spot where the two rivers gathered, the demons and players around him stretched their necks and looked over, and found that there seemed to be a lake there.

"At the confluence of the two rivers, a swamp zone formed, forming several lakes, two of which are larger, called Zaqian Lake and Monitz Lake. The entire swamp area is large, especially in winter, even the most experienced hunters are unwilling to get involved."

After holding on to his eyes, the strange smile on Ward's face became stronger and stronger, and his hands did not stop.

"And in the middle of this series of barriers, there is a not-so-wide area..."

"Master, I know what this area is called!"

Suddenly, a very inconspicuous player shouted suddenly, and the demon lords around him immediately showed dissatisfaction expressions, and some even held down the weapons on their waists, but Ward waved his hand indifferently, and then smiled angrily:

"Can you tell me what my name is?"

"Your Majesty, I heard from the players born here that this area is called Rose Origin! Because there are many red roses."

"Oh? No wonder I've seen so many roses, thank you."

"No, no! This is what my subordinates should do!"

The player seemed a little flattered for Ward's gratitude, and even didn't know how to put his hands on them, and finally gave Ward a very bad military salute.

"Hahaha, let me talk about this...Roseyuan."

He pointed to the area in the middle of the map with his fingers, and Ward re-drawed another circle in the north of the swamp.

"The Rose Origin is generally a fairly flat area, but here... the area close to the delta has a small plateau, which is probably less than a hundred meters higher than the surrounding area. Since it has no name, I will call it a small dome. As long as I control this high ground, I can almost observe and control the entire Rose Origin!"

As he said that, his hands came to the south of the small dome highland and gently drew a light path between the highland and the swamp.

"The north of the highland is a completely flat land, and between the south and the swamp, there is only a narrow passage, which is very narrow, and hundreds of people are hanging when they walk."

"Oh! I understand what the Lord means! We are not guarding the city, but to guarding this highland!"

As soon as Ward finished his words, a demon lord who looked very mighty around him said his opinion in a muffled voice, and the people around him nodded.

"That's right! Brno's city defense is too poor, but it's not as good as this highland. There are big rivers in the east and swamps in the south. You just need to be on guard against enemies in the north."

"As long as we build solid fortifications on the high ground, I guess the enemy will not be able to conquer it for some time!"

"It is also a good way to defend the west bank of the Rousniz River, first delaying the enemy crossing the river, and then retreating to the high ground..."

"The master is wise! The subordinates admire him!"

The atmosphere suddenly became lively, but Ward shook his head.

"We want to give up this highland, no! We are giving up the entire Rose Origin."

"ah!?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned, and even the two people holding the map almost let go of their hands.

“Lord, this is…”

"You think we can win if we live in the high ground? Naive... If the coalition forces were really so useless, we would have occupied Mount Ya long ago."

Waving his hand to signal the two people holding the map to retreat, Ward slowly walked to the front of everyone, looked at the slightly red earth in the distance, and chuckled:

"You only saw the coalition forces, but you didn't see the other two more terrifying enemies."

"The other two more terrifying enemies?"

"Safi, Fayer."

“…!?”

"I can guarantee that Safi's army must have set off, and it is heading behind us. Fayer is also quietly waiting for the plan... If we cannot quickly defeat the enemy in front of us, then the only thing waiting for us is to perish!"

When they heard Ward's words, the people around them were stunned. It was not that they didn't think that the Falcon Principal would let such a huge legion walk on their own land, and that was a time when there were intrigues within the coalition forces.

"No...no?"

"Don't underestimate Safi's determination. He is not Fayere and will not care about any false reputation. He wants to act, no one can stop him, and his purpose is far more than that."

This actually means there is no answer, because how many people are there to understand the mysterious Day Demon?

Therefore, the topic quickly shifted to the comparison of military strength between the two sides.

"But... we have less than 130,000 people now, but the coalition forces are fully prepared. It is said that not only have paladins from the church, but also carry a large number of magic cannons supported by the silver federal..."

"That's why I want to give the little dome heights and roses to the coalition."

“…?”

As if troubled by the misunderstanding of the people around you, Ward shook his head for the third time.

"This is a big gamble. If you want to quickly defeat an enemy stronger than yourself, the best way is to bet, bet on everything you have and force the other party to bet on everything you have."

"But... Lord, we are not bound to lose now? Instead, we still have a great advantage."

"No, if we can't take a gamble, then we will lose... What we have to do now is to expose our soft abdomen like a crocodile, lure the greedy hunter to come and harvest, and then open our big mouth to fight the other party for the last battle."

As he said that, Ward slowly turned around, looked at an unusually tall figure in the crowd, and smiled:

"General E Kaga, what do you think?"

"The chaos will win!"

The dull sound like thunder made all the players around him cover their ears.

"Very good... Then, the first thing to do is to let the other party know that we are at a loss."

After saying that, Ward then took out a letter from his pocket with his signature and whistled.

"Master! Your loyal Nunu is on standby!"

Suddenly, a little red monster with wings flew out of the void and bowed respectfully to Ward.

"Transfer this to the commander of the coalition forces, Grand Duke Aragon."

"Abide by the order! My noble master!"

In just a moment, the little monster turned into a red light and disappeared into the sky.

"Hehe... it won't take long, the rose will be filled with the fragrance of blood, and it must be wonderful."

In the breeze, the roses stirred up waves, as if indicating the upcoming sea of ​​blood...
