Chapter 18: The Beastmen's Northern Line Plan
The 3rd day of Week 2.
Yesterday, after the battle ended, Lin Tian's subordinates carefully swept the battlefield, ensuring that no signs of fighting were left behind, and then returned to the city. The mental fatigue could not hinder this dead house's lust at all. After washing up and eating, he hastily entered the system, preparing to carefully select a queen for himself. This pervert rushed into the "Flying Horse Sculpture", the habitat of the Flying Horse Knights.
This is actually a vibrant forest, in the middle of which stands a large marble statue carved with a magnificent flying horse knight. Flocks of flying horses run and graze happily on the grassy grounds of the forest. The female elf warriors are either taking off their helmets to wash at the fountain pool, strolling in twos or threes through the forest, practicing sword techniques against wooden dummies, or sitting in a circle chatting leisurely, creating a peaceful atmosphere... if you don't count the cat staring intently at the bathing maiden by the pool, and that wretched blood-stained man.
A pervert who broke into the sacred Garden of Eden, recklessly picking and choosing among these beauties, finally left with a poor knightess...
Xianlin County, City Master's Mansion, entrance to the City Master's bedroom! Two robust swordsmen named Kong Wu stood guard once again. The servants in the mansion all knew that this situation meant anyone who dared to disturb the master at this time would definitely meet a terrible end. Inside the bedroom, for a moment, the lotus screen was warm, the brocade quilt was red and wavy, one spring night... (omitted 5000 characters)
One morning, a certain otaku (non-teen version) who was very satisfied with his life decided to prioritize money above all else and built the Ministry of Internal Affairs without any hesitation. In his words, this is a hen that lays golden eggs. That's right, after all, the subsequent building types will definitely be expensive, and it's impossible to support them without sufficient financial resources.
"Constructing 3rd Tier Human Affairs Ministry! - 6000!"
"Constructing 3rd-tier Spirit Tribe's Ministry of Internal Affairs! - 6000!" Remaining 60,000 gold.
It seems that there is no war on the western front for the time being! In that case, I will continue. From Lin Tian's crossing to the Sword Demon Continent until now, he has been extremely tense mentally and hasn't had a good rest. Today, the otaku's lazy tendon acted up, deciding to take a day off. He loudly ordered outside the door, "No one is allowed to disturb this city lord's sleep today!" Covering himself with the quilt, he continued to do things with the elf girl.
Beastman Empire, Honor City! In the grand hall of the Marshal's Office of the Northern Line Front Army, a dozen high-ranking beastman generals were engaged in a heated discussion about the war. The main seat was occupied by General De Shang, a middle-aged tiger warrior, who was known for his bravery and agility, typical of the tiger tribe. As the tribal leader of the tiger tribe, he was in his prime, possessing both strength and vigor.
"Gentlemen, His Majesty has made up his mind: on the first day of the third week this year, our beastmen will launch a full-scale attack against the human tribe with all our might. Starting from the Lion Eagle Kingdom in the Magic Beast Forest to the Still Water Kingdom in the south, we will launch a comprehensive offensive along the entire front line. In the first phase, His Majesty has decided to launch a surprise attack and break through the four human kingdoms on the Rich Plains; in the second phase, we will switch to a positional assault, dispatch reinforcements, defeat the human coalition's counterattack, and plan to continue occupying three to six human principalities; in the third phase, it will be an all-out pursuit war, annihilating the human main force, and incorporating all 20 human kingdoms into our beastmen empire. This is indeed a bold and beautiful plan."
De Shang nodded and continued: "At this time, the old lion of the Southern Line Army is probably also starting to deploy the first phase of the raid. Their overall military strength is stronger than ours, but our Northern Line Army must also fight beautifully. What do you think, generals?"
"Our target for this raid is the two frontline kingdoms on the Human Rich Plains, the Lion Eagle Kingdom and the Sunset Kingdom. The Lion Eagle Kingdom is located more to the north, with a complex geography that borders the Beast Forest, Elf Forest, and even the Cursed Land occupied by the Undead. Its position is quite complicated, and it's also the northernmost point of the entire front line, making supply lines longer and more difficult. If we're not careful, it's easy to drag in the Elves, Dwarves, and even the Undead into the war. Moreover, it has little significance for the second and third stages of our plan."
A lean and agile Tiger Tribe general stepped forward, speaking fluently: "On the other hand, the Sunset Kingdom located in the central part of the Rich Plains is completely different. This human kingdom has always been hostile to us Beast Tribes, building numerous massive fortresses along the border to guard the transportation routes leading to the heart of the Human Territory. It's like a nail stuck here, with a very important strategic position. If we can't take advantage of this raid to eliminate the Sunset Kingdom, it will inevitably have a severe impact on Her Majesty's subsequent plans. If blame comes down, I'm afraid we'll all..."
The young general paused for a moment, revealing an implication that everyone understood: "Therefore, I suggest that we focus our main forces on the Sunset Kingdom, especially the key fortresses, and prioritize breaking through them. At the same time, don't completely abandon the Lion Eagle Kingdom; send a detached force to attack its capital, but temporarily give up on the part of the territory bordering the Beast Forest, Elf Forest, and Cursed Land. Keep this part of human territory as a shield for our great army."
"De Yong, very good. You are indeed a talented graduate of the Imperial War Academy, I highly agree with your views!" General De Shang's hearty laughter echoed, and other generals from the Eagle, Cow, and Bear tribes also expressed their agreement.
One of the pure-blooded orc generals turned his face, disdainfully curling his lip in the direction of no one, and secretly said: "It's all because he's your son. Ugh, a self-righteous, full-of-loopholes plan, and yet he dares to mention the Imperial War Academy?"
But he suddenly felt a bit helpless, his pure-blooded beastman tribe was also considered upper-class nobility, but in recent years they had been suppressed by the tiger and lion tribes, with allocated resources dwindling, their days were starting to get tough.
"We, the pure-blooded beastmen, have sent a hundred elite scouts to the northernmost Xianlin County of the Lion Eagle Kingdom last week to gather information for Your Majesty's plan. However, they have yet to return, and it is feared that they may have been eliminated. It is estimated that this region has considerable human combat power. I request instructions from the General, whether to send the main force there?"
The general had no choice but to grit his teeth and report (the pure-blooded beastman was the same kind as the one Lin Tian had fought before).
"Xianlin County, I'm aware of it. The official military strength is not high, probably due to the large number of mercenaries and slave-catching teams there. Your subordinates unfortunately ran into a powerful mercenary team, didn't they? This county is indeed more complicated and isn't our main direction of attack. You can just send three hundred-man teams to investigate again, no need to report such trivial matters!"
The Tiger General was in the middle of creating momentum for his own son when he was interrupted by this blind fool, which really annoyed him. He immediately changed the subject: "Now let's arrange the plan for this raid on Luori Kingdom and Shizi Kingdom. The key is to occupy several strategic strongholds in Luori Kingdom..."
Has the protagonist turned on his halo?
