Chapter 58: A Rare Strategic Gap
"Your Lordship"
"What should we do if the lords on the outskirts betray us, or form an alliance against us?"
"I believe we need to cultivate a group of trusted confidants."
Liya made a suggestion to Lin Chuan.
"That makes sense, but I don't have that much time."
"As long as they have a common enemy, they will not betray us."
Lia was referring to her decision to assign members of the Avengers Alliance to various alliances for management roles.
In the long run, it is very harmful.
But that would require going that far.
You have to survive first before you can think about anything else.
The gryphon riders who were out scouting have brought back new information.
"The orcs have a military camp outside the Dark Forest."
"At least ten thousand regular orc soldiers, along with orc slave laborers, are stationed there."
Those enslaved by the orcs included both their own race of half-orcs.
There are also monsters inside monster lairs.
Compared to the orcs' regular army, these slave laborers were very weak in combat.
But they are still stronger than ordinary militia.
At least equivalent to a blue-quality soldier.
"The orc barracks are located here."
Lin Chuan quickly located the position by visually examining the map.
"It is located just outside the three lines of defense that we built ourselves."
"This is very advantageous for the orcs to launch an attack on us."
"If we want to launch a counterattack, we need to cross a defensive area built by the orcs."
Arthur spoke up.
"Your Lordship, this military camp must be wiped out."
"Otherwise, the enemy will keep attacking from here."
"With the lord's current strength, it will be difficult to stop him."
"Um."
Lin Chuan nodded.
"The lord of the Dark Forest is not strong enough to take down this military camp."
"But we can."
"The side of the military camp."
Lin Chuan drew a line.
"Go around from here and attack the orc camp from behind."
"how."
Several heroes stepped forward to investigate, and their eyes lit up immediately.
"They can fight."
"But this road is obviously not easy to travel."
"Only a small number of cavalry can proceed."
"Sending a large number of legions would be very time-consuming and risky, and could expose them."
"Without ground cavalry."
"Use the Gryphon Rider."
Upon hearing this, the hero beside him turned around.
"Your Lordship"
"There are only a hundred Gryphon Riders. Even if they can get in, they can't hold the line."
"Then train more."
"My guess is that the orcs have just suffered a defeat."
"The likelihood of launching a large-scale attack immediately is low."
"It could only be a probing attack."
"Only after they have probed the location of our defensive line and the strength of our troops will they launch a fierce attack."
After their defeat, the orcs also needed to stockpile supplies and military equipment, and mobilize their logistics.
Used to support continued combat.
This is Lin Chuan's strategic window of opportunity.
"My idea is to train 2000 Gryphon Riders for raids."
"Take this barracks."
"On the front, use the lord to wear down the orcs."
"We'll find an opportunity later to send our main force to counterattack."
"We must catch the orcs off guard, draw out their main force, and create an opportunity for the gryphon riders."
"As long as the orc camp is captured."
"Immediately assemble all the legions and engage the orcs in a decisive battle."
"We must take them down in one go."
"Take the victory."
Upon hearing Lin Chuan's plan, William sighed softly.
"Your Excellency."
"The idea is good, but we don't have enough troops."
"A counterattack would require a large number of cavalry."
"Lancer knights are good, but they are not suitable for mountain warfare."
"If we can train a group of wolf riders suitable for mountain warfare, then we will have a chance in this battle."
Lin Chuan had planned for this long ago.
"certainly."
"We need not only wolf riders, but also a legion of archers skilled in mountain warfare."
"At the same time, the Gryphon Riders also need a hero who can lead them."
"In addition, training new soldiers also requires a larger population."
"The territory's level also needs to be upgraded."
Lia came up and said.
"It would be difficult for you to complete this in a short time by yourself alone."
"certainly."
"This concerns all the lords of the Dark Forest."
"Therefore, take advantage of this strategic gap."
"All lords should go to the secret realm to explore, strengthen their forces, and help me search for the resources I need."
"Lia, go and contact the various lords."
"Tell them what I need."
"Let's begin tonight and immediately enter the secret realm to explore."
"I'll buy anything I find at a high price."
"Yes."
Lin Chuan then outlined the tasks he needed to complete.
"Let's start by upgrading our territory."
"Three of the conditions for advancing from LV8 to LV9 have been met."
"The remaining two require you to enter the Snow Wolf Secret Realm alone."
"Then let's go."
Lin Chuan took out the Secret Realm Token.
Equipped with gear, we set off into the secret realm.
They stepped directly into the difficult Snow Wolf Secret Realm.
......
Just after Lin Chuan entered the secret realm.
The leaders of each alliance also received the message.
"Entering the secret realm at this time?"
They looked at the message from Lin Chuan.
"Boss Lin believes that the orcs will not launch a large-scale invasion in the short term."
"We need to seize the time to improve our strength in order to deal with the upcoming orc attack."
Zhou Yi spoke first.
"Without further ado, everyone, put aside what you're doing."
"Enter the secret realm immediately."
"Old Zhang, gather our men together."
"Go directly to the difficult secret realm."
"Mission accomplished."
"Lin Chuan is that strong."
"It's precisely because our territory is of a high level that from now on, we must upgrade it at all costs."
"it is good."
......
Meanwhile, in the wild.
Inside the orc camp.
After losing his status as lord, Liu Yifu is now a follower of the Beast God.
Every day, one needs to pray and offer one's faith to the Beast God.
It happened while he was praying tonight.
suddenly!
A mysterious power descended upon Liu Yifu.
"This is."
"Beast God Lord!!!"
Liu Yifu discovered that he had actually regained his status as a lord.
The only difference is that the faction has shifted to the Beast God's side.
After regaining his status as a lord.
Liu Yifu then received instructions from the gods.
Establish territories, train orc legions, and expand the land for the Beast God.
Liu Yifu's territory was permitted by the Beast God to be located outside the military camp.
"Okay, okay."
"With the protection of the Beast God."
"I will soon be able to launch a counterattack on the Dark Forest."
"Lin Chuan".
"You wait, until my legion arrives."
"I will repay everything a hundredfold."
.....
Meanwhile, deep within the dark, dense forest.
All the lords who were willing to migrate left.
However, some people were unwilling.
Zhang Wenyuan was one of them.
At this time, he gathered a group of lords.
"It's too dangerous in this dark forest."
"I'm preparing to leave here and go to a safer area."
"In the secret realm, I previously obtained a regional migration scroll."
"Able to take twenty lords away."
"Are you leaving?"
Upon hearing this, the lords' eyes lit up.
The dark, dense forest is too dangerous.
The sudden appearance of orcs nearly killed them here.
If they could escape, they certainly would.
"Boss Zhang, where are we migrating to?"
Zhang Wenyuan's lips curled up slightly.
"I previously met a lord named Chen Zhong."
"His territory is in Qadara."
He said the supplies there were plentiful.
High-grade gold mines are everywhere.
"I plan to move there."
"Really?"
"It's absolutely true. I later asked other regional lords, and the Gadara Plains is one of the few areas rich in resources."
"There are even level 10 gold mines."
"Holy crap, that's a gold mine that can yield hundreds of millions."
"Boss Zhang, let's go to the Gaidara Plain."
"Me too! Me too!"
Looking at these lords, Zhang Wenyuan's lips curled up slightly.
"Take the bait!"
