Yan Xing and Sibel rode back to Eden's manor together, training the road construction team until the evening.

When the two of them returned to the city lord's palace, Count Theodore called Yan Xing over alone.

In a heavily guarded, closed room, a brazier on the wall illuminates a map in the middle of a table.

This should be the topographic map of the Windy Highlands. Yan Xing guessed and asked Count Theodore: There is the combat defense layout of the Windy Highlands Legion on it. It doesn't seem to be what I should look at.

Yan Xing turned his head to the side when he saw many military unit symbols on the map.

At the same time, ask Fubui to save a copy of this map.

The Eternal Territory finally has a relatively detailed map of the Gale Highlands, so there is no need to test my soul drawing skills.

Count Theodore summons a magical light that floats over the map.

Then he said to Yan Xing: I'm afraid it's no secret that this map is on the Windy Highlands. Perhaps the map on our enemy's table has more detailed markings than mine.

Then you can watch it.

Yan Xing turned his head and stared at the map and asked Count Theodore: Teacher, you asked me to look at this map. Is there anything you want me to do?

Do you still remember the group of mercenaries you sent to collude with the orcs to attack your territory?

Yan Xing replied: Of course I remember, I personally handed them over to Miss Siebel.

They are all dead. Count Theodore said slowly, observing Yan Xing's reaction.

Yan Xing sighed and said pointedly: It's better to die.

There are some things that cannot be clarified about the current situation in Gale Highlands.

At present, foreign enemies are exposed, and if they are clearly identified, they may cause major shocks within themselves.

This kind of thing can only be investigated secretly.

Yes, it doesn't matter if they die. Their crimes deserve death. Count Theodore returned his gaze to the map on the table: But the defensive loopholes in the northern part of New Tower City cannot be ignored.

Yan Xing looked at the map.

There is a large grassy no-man's land between Thunder Swamp and New Tower City. Extending to the west on the southwest border of Thunder Swamp, there are scattered fortresses built by the Terran Wind Highland Legion.

On the side near the uninhabited area of ​​​​the grassland, the fortress group was built very densely. In addition, there is a military city in the middle of the fortress group - Split Mountain Castle, which connects the entire defense system, guards the northwest area of ​​New Tower City, and prevents orcs and elves from infiltrating into New Tower City.

The orc heads and mercenaries brought by Yan Xing showed that there were loopholes in this barrier, and they were quite large.

I don't want to get involved in your fight. This is Thunder Swamp's position.

Those with small bodies in the eternal collar are not eligible to participate.

As for Earl Theodore, he not only hopes that Thunder Swamp will help him protect the north, but also does not want to drag the Swamp people into this dispute and add unnecessary variables.

But this loophole does exist.

Actually, I have known for a long time that there is someone within us colluding with orcs and elves, and I even suspected that person. But that person will never let New Tower City be exposed to the enemy's troops... Count Theodore paused here. After a while, he continued: After learning that the orcs attacked your eternal territory, I have been studying the northwest barrier of New Tower City. A quarter of the fortress must ignore the infiltration of the orcs in order to keep the 300 Wolf Cavalry silent. appear close to your eternal realm.

The worst-case scenario is that important personnel in Split Mountain Castle are also involved.

According to the information I just investigated, the mercenary leader Yaerlin you mentioned once served in Split Mountain Castle.

This is really not good news, and the same is true for Yan Xing.

If you are an orc or elf commander. Once the war starts, troops will definitely be sent to infiltrate through these loopholes and harass the logistics base of the Gale Highland Legion.

If they were bolder and attacked and captured Split Mountain Castle, New Tower City would change from the rear to the front line.

If this happens, will the orcs and elves ignore the Eternal Territory?

Certainly not!

Yan Xing sent Gustav's head to Chief Xiaolia.

Even without this grudge, the orc-elf coalition would not allow a friendly territory of Newta City to exist behind them when they attacked Newta City.

Yan Xing didn't expect the war to be so close to him.

He asked Marquis Theodore: Is there a way to seal the loophole?

Count Theodore shook his head: It is only a small number of people who collude with the enemy. If we conduct a large-scale investigation, it will definitely affect morale. If rumors spread again, it will cause distrust among the troops.

This war is lost without having to be fought.

The traitors can only be investigated secretly, but our time is too short...and we may not be able to get results.

Count Theodore not only sighed.

As powerful as the external enemy is, the internal enemy is equally powerful.

Yan Xing felt that Earl Theodore must have thought of a solution when he called him here. He asked, Does the mentor have any solution?

Count Theodore asked Yan Xing: How confident are you that you will win Gard in the road construction competition tomorrow?

Yanxing learned about the process of the Golden Oak Chamber of Commerce road construction team through Eden.

As long as Gar doesn't use earth magicians to build roads, we won't have any suspense about defeating him.

Count Theodore did not expect Yan Xing to be so confident.

Earth magicians must not be used to build roads. Count Theodore picked up a quill from the table, drew a few lines and a circle on the map, and then said: As long as you can win Garr tomorrow. New I will leave the road repair project from Tower City to Storm City to you, and I will pay half of the investment in the road from Eternal City to New Tower City.

I require that there be a sentry tower supply point every kilometer along this road. UU Reading www.uukns.net If enemy troops infiltrate, it can effectively prevent them from moving.

In addition, New Tower City reinvested in Eternal Territory to build a fortress 40 kilometers southwest.

If your road crew can build roads quickly, building a rammed earth fortress shouldn't be a problem.

We form a combined army inside this fortress. New Tower City will send an air force composed of three hundred griffons, and you will provide the ground force...

Yan Xing saw the circle drawn by Count Theodore on the map.

Going straight west from this fortress is Split Mountain Fort.

Station an army here. Regardless of whether the infiltrating enemies want to attack the Eternal Territory or destroy New Tower City, they dare not ignore the existence of this fortress.

If there is a danger in Split Mountain Fort, the troops stationed in this fortress can respond quickly.

According to the intelligence currently known, this upcoming war is very likely to affect here. It is indeed necessary to build a fortress stuck in an important position.

Yan Xing asked Count Theodore: How many troops should I provide?

Count Theodore replied: At the beginning of the war, the orcs and elves were on the offensive side. Their strategic purpose must be to defeat Marquis Anderson's main force, and they would not use too many troops in high-risk penetration warfare and surprise attacks. .

After all, New Tower City is a fortified city that cannot be easily captured by them. Instead, they may be trapped and die here. We can maintain a thousand-man army in the fortress, mainly relying on griffon patrols to supplement the loopholes in the fortress's defense system.

When the war reaches a stalemate. A large number of reserve troops from the Stormwind Highlands Legion have been mobilized, and the orc-elf coalition is very likely to launch a military adventure to attack Mountain Split Castle...
