Capítulo 2033: Chapter 644: All Trump Cards Revealed (Part 2)

“Could it be that the reason why Commander Hai Mu sends his powerful warriors to attack the east side of the city wall instead of the west side is solely because the Beamon soldiers stationed in this area do not have dense magical firepower to stop them at three to five hundred yards away?” Queen Jiabao looked at Rommel in confusion. “Isn’t that reason too simple? In my view, the ability to harm the enemy’s strongest forces is always more important than taking out some second-rate targets!”

“Your Majesty, this is a large-scale war, not a solo adventure. Large troop commanders go to great lengths to find the enemy’s weaknesses rather than intentionally choosing tough challenges! For the Sea Clan now, Witherspoon is a tough nut; they must hammer in once they’ve created an opening. If this opening has enough time to close up, then all previous efforts are wasted! Can the Sea Clan afford to wait? Their supplies and logistics are already doomed, Your Majesty Jiabao, the most poisonous strategy is cutting off grain!”

Seeing Queen Jiabao still wearing a look of confusion, Rommel sighed. These big figures manage internal affairs and formulate strategic plans without any problems, but when it comes to specific tactical commands, they’re not even as good as a rookie staff officer.

“Let me put it this way, to break through Witherspoon’s dense defenses, you must first tear open a large gap in Beamon’s city defense line, allow the following Sea Clan warriors to stabilize their footing, level the geographical advantages of both sides, and then consider whether to advance deeper or expand the gains, until occupying the entire city!” Rommel looked up at the second “Thundercloud Electric Pillar” descending from the sky, smacking his lips repeatedly: “Your Majesty, if you still don’t understand, don’t think too much about it. These matters are for us military personnel to worry about; even if you understand them thoroughly, you won’t likely use them. Just remember one principle, this is a large-scale war, to annihilate the opponent you must strike at their weaknesses, not strengths! Just like killing a turtle, there’s no reason to stab hard at the turtle’s hard shell, right? Too many things need to be considered for a campaign, eliminating the enemy’s best fighters doesn’t mean you’ve won decisive victory. If you haven’t achieved true victory, for a commander it’s an utter failure!”

“Now the Hai Mu Coalition cannot afford to lose, they must take down Witherspoon.” Queen Jiabao realized her thinking was possibly obscured by small-scale duels among strong players, rubbed the silver eye rune on her brow with myriad charm and gave a bashful smile: “The Hai Mu Coalition lacks heavy siege weapons; trying to fell trees and stone at the foot of Mount Tamerlarya will be futile as Beamon has already destroyed their supplies and logistics. Rather than drag on, it’s better to attempt a strong assault. Anyway, they have so many troops, they’re not afraid of losses! Luckily, they still don’t know what the Sanggan River has been polluted into… If they knew, should they not capture the city, their morale would surely crumble!”

“You also think that the Hai Mu Coalition can’t capture this city?” Rommel gazed at the towering figures ascending from the city wall, slightly surprised as he looked at the Queen of Lich: “I thought you believed that the Hai Mu Coalition was bound to win! It seems that our special trip today to Witherspoon has indeed been worthwhile.”

“Indeed, it was not a mistake to come.” Queen Jiabao gazed unwaveringly at the ground where the battlefield was in gridlock, letting out a long sigh: “Today I’ve witnessed too many scenes that shocked me—heroes are indeed innumerable in the world! Beamon has undergone countless surprising changes, and this iron tower of the Sea Clan is not to be underestimated, as it doesn’t emit even a hint of Elemental Fluctuation that I can detect, even I’ve been fooled. If either of today’s opposing sides were replaced by Demon Clan troops, we’d be at a severe disadvantage!”

“The Thunder Pillar has already appeared for the fourth time! This tower must be the largest and most powerful weapon in the world! It seems the Sea Clan hadn’t planned to spare the Summer Palace Guard stationed at the westside city wall; they just had varying emphasis in their attacks! Who knows how many more times this tower can release a Thunder Pillar; too bad it has met the powerful ranks of Florence!” Rommel smiled slightly at the grey heron which swallowed and absorbed the “Thundercloud Electric Pillar” while flying and spreading its wings: “Look! My esteemed Queen, if the Sea Clan’s tactics were identical to your assumptions and were planning to be the first to strike the Summer Palace Guard, then this tower’s electric pillar might only have one chance to successfully attack. Five to six miles away on the east side city wall, this heron’s sudden move is difficult to anticipate, but it’s sitting right on the west side city wall, impossible for a bird not to control this range with its speed!”

“If the Sea Clan were as shortsighted as me, they might not even scratch Beamon’s surface now.” Queen Jiabao calmly nodded in acknowledgment: “This world is truly fascinating, enemies are narrowly separated and it’s unpredictable when a nemesis might appear! Now let’s wait and see if the Hai Mu Coalition can muster a full effort to get a foothold on the city wall!”

Rommel, sitting on the elephant throne, flexed his numb ankle, circled his neck with his arm and released the sound of crackling joints; he already knew the result without needing to look further.
