Chapter 930 - 930 103 Superior Military Strategy Lies in Subduing the Enemy without a Fight

930: Chapter 103, Superior Military Strategy Lies in Subduing the Enemy without a Fight 930: Chapter 103, Superior Military Strategy Lies in Subduing the Enemy without a Fight Outside Augustusburg, Ancient Legacy Union Army Camp.

Dozens of species’ representatives gathered together, endlessly arguing about how to besiege the city, causing the elder elf to furrow his brow deeply.

Internal conflicts are the common enemy of all alliances.

Even though the Elf Race had always been trying to mediate disputes among all parties, they were unable to change the quarrelsome situation.

It was the fault of the Human Race.

During the heyday of the Warhammer Kingdom, to protect their own interests, they continuously created conflicts in the World of Ice and Snow.

Setting traps and burying mines were secondary, the key was the implementation of the racial balance policy.

Any species that showed signs of rising was suppressed, leading many species in the Ancient Legacy Alliance to be at the same level of strength.

Overlapping contradictions and evenly matched powers made it difficult for the Ancient Legacy Alliance to avoid chaos.

If it weren’t for the Warhammer Kingdom causing its own demise, busily entangling itself to death, these ancient tribes couldn’t have caused any significant upheaval if this way of playing continued.

“Enough!”

“The Continental war has reached a critical moment.

The Human Race has already gained the upper hand in the South Continent.

If we continue to waste time arguing here, just wait to be settled with in the aftermath!”

The elder elf, who could no longer stand it, scolded.

These guys were already on the war cart, and it was too late to get off now.

If they didn’t want to be tallied up afterward, they could only march forward courageously.

However, the elder’s scolding didn’t convince everyone.

The essence of the argument was that everyone wanted others to exert more effort and reap fewer benefits.

Just like the Elf Race promoting the Ancient Legacy Alliance to send troops, the core was to reduce their own clan’s losses.

What they thought in their hearts didn’t matter, outwardly everyone quieted down, given that they would still need to rely on the Elf Race in the upcoming war.

“Everyone has their own reasons, which inevitably will lead to fruitless quarreling, and it’s not justifiable to force any concessions.

Let’s just write out all the tasks and conduct a draw.

Whatever mission is drawn must be completed without further shirking.”

“Honourable Shaman Romo, could you please serve as a witness?”

Derigol said with a solemn face.

He proposed a solution, but the trace of exhaustion between his brows still revealed his true feelings.

Unlike other species, the Phantom Spirit Clan has always been marginalized on the Continent of Aslante, never having a glorious history.

Their population is small, they practice illusions, and their demand for resources is minimal.

No desire means no needs.

They joined the war entirely because their surrounding neighbors had done so, and opting out alone put them at risk of annihilation.

Already forcibly dragged into this, they naturally looked down on the chaos within the alliance.

“Alright, I will serve as the witness.”

The elder elf readily agreed.

No matter who ended up with the dirty or tiring work, it had nothing to do with the Elf Race.

They had only sent a Mage Corps to support, which was a treasure wherever it was placed.

If the besiegement was resisted, they could simply cast a forbidden spell.

No matter how crazy, it was impossible to let magicians charge into battle.

…

In the Half-Orc Kingdom, facing the war of annihilation launched by the Frank Kingdom, they had exerted all their strength, yet still could not avoid starting the defense of the Royal City.

Looking at the refugees gathering outside the city, Azavedo XVII said with a grave expression, “The Frank people, they seem intent on extermination!”

The loss of a vast amount of land also meant the loss of a vast number of people.

The Frank Kingdom did not start with a genocide, but their methods were more brutal than direct slaughter.

Many Half-Orcs were driven from their homeland, embarking on a path of exile.

It appeared they were given a way to survive, but in reality, it was to throw the Half-Orc Kingdom’s rear into disarray.

This was an overt scheme of the Frank people.

No matter what measures the Half-Orc Kingdom took, the outcome was doomed to be wrong.

Providing relief with supplies would consume the reserve of strategic materials, affecting their war potential.

Ignoring the problem would make the extremely hungry refugees capable of anything.

Surely they cannot start slaughtering refugees themselves?

Although the Half-Orc Kingdom was in a barbaric era, orders for mass killing their own people would still provoke resistance from its citizens.

Facing the continuous surge of refugees, for the safety of the Royal City, Azavedo XVII had no choice but to order the closure of the Royal City, prohibiting refugees from entering.

However, this was also a temporary solution, not a cure.

The refugees outside the city remained a hidden danger.

Once the Frank’s Army arrived, these people would become cannon fodder for the siege.

In previous continental wars, similar scenarios had occurred countless times.

“Your Majesty, survival of the fittest is the essence of the Continent of Aslante.

For the continuity of the species, sacrifices are inevitable.

Apart from the Dragon Race in the Ancient Era, all dominant powers of the continent have sought to rule it alone.

Yet, these species all eventually declined.

The Human Race, not knowing restraint, will sooner or later pay the price for their ambition.

All we need to do is hold the line and wait for the situation to reverse.”

Chancellor Filimon offered comforting words.

Continental powers indeed have times of decline, but before their fall, countless species have already paid the price with their extinction.

Which major clan that has survived from ancient times does not have bloody hands?

Land and resources don’t fall from the sky; to pass down civilization better, one must fight for it.

Any instance of mercy could lead to catastrophic consequences for one’s own species in the future.

“Send a message to the Elf Race, tell them the Kingdom is on the brink.

If we don’t see reinforcements soon, we will surrender to the Human Race!”
