Chapter 778: Chapter 440: Disguised Private Visit Package_4

"But this army is just a feint. When the Nanni people rally their main forces around the Ehera Mountain Pass, we will launch our assault from Ludya Town, which is located further south of our frontlines, and seize their Subilu City."

"Once we secure Subilu City, we can then send cultivators to constantly harass the supply line at the rear of the Ehera Mountain Pass, gradually weakening the Nanni Nation’s strength there."

"If the Nanni people fall for it and shift their defensive focus towards Subilu City, then the diversionary troops at Ehera Mountain Pass will become our primary force, aiming to forcefully seize the mountain pass. If they don’t fall for it, we plan to stand-off for over three months, wearing down the Nanni Nation’s strength before seeking a decisive battle near Ehera Mountain Pass."

Though a general strategy has been finalized, there are many details to be arranged that will need to be adjusted according to the situation and the local terrain.

The most important topic they invited Lord Bertram for was, "This prolonged war operation will incur lofty military expenses. Our military scribe has calculated that we will need at least 20 billion spirit jades."

After William finished speaking, he looked at Lord Bertram somewhat uncomfortably. Owen Bertram, however, simply smiled nonchalantly. "After the previous battle, the profit each family divided up far exceeded this figure, not to mention that several merchants made hundreds of millions in extra profit from the war.

You don’t have to worry about money. I’ll handle it."

William breathed a sigh of relief; after all, the figure was tremendous. He then added, "As long as we can capture the Ehera Mountain Pass, all revenue within a thousand miles can be calculated as part of this battle, and everyone will surely receive satisfactory returns."

"Even if we are unable to secure this mountain pass, we can still plunder the small cities in the vicinity of the mountain pass. I’ve calculated it, we definitely won’t let everyone lose money."

Owen Bertram waved his hand emphatically. "Remove this break-even plan. Don’t worry about profit and loss. Military affairs are the priority. You should only focus on capturing the Ehera Mountain Pass, and you must not be hesitant or worrisome about potential threats!"

William laughed and said, "You claim not to be well-versed in military affairs. It seems you’re being modest."

Owen Bertram secretly convened a meeting of shareholders to raise funds while mobilizing the newly established intelligence network within the Nanni Nation. He wanted to verify if the Nanni Nation, as William had surmised, also had a plan to use military tactics against the Wood Dynasty at the same time.

If they could get the details of this plan, they could counteract it accordingly, significantly reducing the difficulty of the Ehera Mountain Pass warfare.

The Horizon Bureau’s intelligence network, unlike the Flying Bear Army’s, penetrates deep into the Nanni’s hinterland.

Although the networks in Nanni Nation and Sang Island started simultaneously, and Sang Island had Jone taking the lead and received elite support from Master Lane’s team, the Nanni Nation’s network matured earlier and was more capable.

They had the covert cooperation of the Masvidal forces and even established contact with the resistance forces. Together, they initiated numerous "Temple Destruction" and "Logistics Burnout" operations within the Nanni Nation, growing rapidly through their struggles.

After receiving Lord Bertram’s command, the entire intelligence network was quickly mobilized.

Interestingly enough, the highest-ranking officer of the network within the Nanni Nation was Sophia.

And the Lord of King Port—Sanni—naturally began to secretly monitor the ships of the Red Barbarians entering and exiting the port. If the Nanni Nation really was planning to wage war, they would undoubtedly seek the aid of the Red Barbarians. Whether for personnel or supplies, the port’s throughput would surely increase."

So, Sanni recently started enjoying walks on the port’s seawall after his daily cultivation—a habit of his that did not raise suspicions.

However, returning from his walk today, he felt a bit puzzled: The number of ships entering the port seemed to be decreasing these past days. Could it be that the Nanni Nation had really decided to bear it and not retaliate against the Flying Bear Army?

Lord Bertram secretly decided to change his strategy; Sanni needed to probe for information more proactively and directly."

Perhaps in the future, the second Lord could cultivate himself into one of Owen Bertram’s "external incarnations", something most individuals at the Seventh Level of the Wood Dynasty have, to handle certain secretive tasks that they themselves could not directly be involved in.

It’s likely that Abner Lane also has an external incarnation, but this is Master Lane’s deepest secret, known only to himself.
