Chapter 828: Chapter 542 Strategic Objective_3

He was merely setting the stage in advance, seizing the most central position, striving to become powerful enough before a full outbreak to be one of the operators, rather than being forced by the hand of destiny onto an old path.

This was a path with no retreat, he could only charge forward.

"The destination cannot be changed, which actually simplifies things greatly. Other areas are just auxiliary; the destination is the main focus. The strategic plans in other areas are all centered around this main focus, so, I agree with Ms. Kellysha’s plan to cooperate with the local friendly forces, maximize the plundering of population and wealth, while simultaneously laying down our own industries, continuously draining resources from this area, not just wealth but also population, to sustain the cities in our other regions and accelerate their development," Blood Oath Warlord Thomas was the first to raise doubts, and also the first to accept Gaven’s explanation.

To him, it didn’t matter whether Gaven’s reasons were logical or not; what mattered was having clear objectives, as everything else would easily unfold once the direction was set.

This belonged to the strategic thinking of the Hobgoblin.

Plundering others’ resources for their own gain was what they excelled and delighted in most; it was merely that the scale of the Conqueror Army was now much larger.

"After this meeting ends, our primary task will be to clearly inform all front-line commanders that our migration target this time is the Valley’s Battle Valley. We must use every method to consolidate the hearts of all the migrants, shield them from external temptations, and steadfastly follow the army until they reach the destination," Veranika suggested on the side.

To her, the final destination was not important; what mattered was the process and the strategic plans implemented during this process.

The current large-scale migration involved far more elements than they had imagined.

Not only had the God of Strategy, the Red Knight, paid close attention,

the God of Travel and Exploration, Mount Dakor, was likely also shadowing them closely, monitoring their every move.

Whether it was paving major paths or migrating, it was a supreme honor for him, greatly augmenting his divine power.

"It should have been this way from the beginning," General Kopofiel nodded in agreement, "This issue was our oversight. Right from the start, we should have clarified this matter—only then would it have been convenient for the front-line commanders to commence their tasks."

"The General need not blame himself; after all, we are crossing the river by feeling the stones, it’s impossible to consider every detail perfectly, and besides, the whole army changes day by day. Before we set out, we never imagined not only would we be able to annihilate a Troll Kingdom but also establish two cities of our own.

Even less imaginable was that just halfway through our journey, the migrating army would be called the Conqueror Army.

Perhaps Giant Dragon Coast will be our new metamorphosis site that brings us to a new level of strength. How far we can go will depend on the strategies and tactics we adopt next."

Gaven said with a smile, "If no one has any objections, our overall strategy on the Giant Dragon Coast will be to unite all possible forces, support our own agents, and carry out industrial layouts, drawing as much population and wealth from here as possible."

This brainstorming process also helped Gaven clarify his own thoughts; his initial approach to strategizing for the Giant Dragon Coast had not been as clear as it now was.

At least when he was individually receiving messengers from Efanso and the Avenger Rebellion Army, he was still entangled in how to handle this city’s problems.

After a brief exchange of ideas, they reached a consensus on this point. If they wanted to avoid sending troops on a large scale and getting themselves mired in war, this was the best strategic approach.

"Now that everyone agrees to implement this strategy, let’s discuss how we should start scavenging for wealth. How can we better motivate those from the bays to join our migrating troop?" After setting the primary tone, Gaven began the next phase of detailed planning.

"There’s nothing better than a resounding victory to demonstrate one’s strength. The victory we achieved on the other side of the Giant Plains is over five hundred kilometers away from here, with news relatively isolated and different races on either side. The humans here don’t feel as strongly as we anticipated, which can be seen from their attitude towards us."

The first to speak was again Blood Oath Warlord Thomas, who, being the least experienced in the Conqueror Army and of a different race, was most active and eager to demonstrate his abilities to secure a higher position.

"Efanso is our best point of entry. The particularity of their rulers now means that the hearts of the people on the Giant Dragon Coast, even if not with us, at least won’t be with the other side. As long as they can maintain neutrality, it is beneficial for us."

"Who says their hearts aren’t with us?" With her strategic view acknowledged, Kellysha’s confidence received a boost, and she proposed another strategy, "The super-strong plague virus they hold is a double-edged sword.

It’s a powerful weapon against the enemy but also poses a great threat to ourselves.

By revealing to the other cities on the Giant Dragon Coast the plague virus they hold, even if it does not lead to an outright assault, public sentiment will likely lean towards us.

Once we take down Efanso and hand it over to the local resistors to rule, showing that we acted out of justice and righteousness, I believe it will garner us a wave of goodwill and also allow us to scavenge some of the population from Efanso. The key to this battle is public opinion; as long as we manage that well, we’ve won half the battle."
