spring.
Damn spring.
Chris spat, the vinegar in his saliva corroding the ice.
Yan Bing, who should have been as hard as steel, was now only as hard as iron.
Warmth is approaching, and all things are about to revive, which also means that those united enemies are about to launch a counterattack.
Chris knew very well that there wasn't much time left.
Other communities on the frozen continent are taking things seriously.
It seems that wizards from several major wizarding schools have gathered together, all for the purpose of overthrowing the regime that Chris has painstakingly established.
Its territory is already quite large, connecting the north and south to the sea, occupying an important hub.
Once the war stabilizes, Chris only needs to establish fortifications, and a steady stream of tax revenue will immediately flow into his pocket.
However, the current situation is developing in a direction that is unfavorable to him.
If one cannot establish a sufficiently large advantage for one's own army before the enemy launches a formal counterattack, one may face the fate of having all previous efforts wasted.
After all, Chris understood that the Central Community did not yet have the ability to annex the entire frozen continent.
The national treasury was also depleting, and he needed to cease hostilities.
But if we cannot shake the enemy's foundation and instill fear in them, how can we entice them to seek peace?
Why bother to take the initiative to seek peace?
This option does not exist at all.
According to the intelligence gathered so far, other communities seem determined to overthrow Chris's central community.
Any sign of weakness from the central community will only provoke a more frenzied backlash.
He had no way out.
The winter raid was indeed very effective; the sudden attack must have brought a terrifying deterrent effect to the enemy.
Perhaps some within the enemy ranks are already considering seeking peace.
But it certainly won't be enough to make the other party make a decision.
But this also means that Chris will have to pay more than three times the military expenses of the Summer War.
Chris has borrowed all the money he could, and the Central Community is already heavily in debt.
By plundering and selling off the loot, they could only afford to pay the interest.
But interest will only keep accruing.
hateful.
Chris needs money, and therefore needs to keep winning.
Or, they could achieve a great victory.
Hedy Square, the economic heart of the Eastern community.
Chris used his only remaining right eye to fixate on the location of the square on the map.
He decided to attack the city.
When he arrived at the front lines and issued orders and set strategic objectives for Ainar, it immediately drew skepticism from the other side.
He stated that Hedy Square's geographical depth is too far inward.
Even if they manage to capture the city, they will only be able to penetrate deep into enemy territory alone.
Once the enemy forces encircle and surround the army, the troops will immediately be in a disadvantageous situation.
A foolish idea.
As expected, Ainar was just a wizard and had no idea what war was.
In war, the key is to strike unexpectedly.
Although Chris had only just learned this principle from the apostle of Grellella, he was already able to put it into practice.
The enemy would never have expected Chris to use his troops in this way, and their defensive forces would certainly be insufficient.
Taking it down won't be a problem.
Ainar's concern was that even if he captured the city, he would be unable to defend it.
In other words, the rear supply lines will be exposed to risks.
But Chris knew that Enal was thinking too little.
Because there is no need for transportation and resupply at all.
The reason why Heddy Square became an economic hub is because of its convenient transportation, being the intersection of multiple roads.
In other words, 90% of the enemy's food supplies would have to pass through this city.
Therefore, it can be inferred that this place may also be an enemy supply depot, where large quantities of supplies, money, food, and weapons are stockpiled.
Taking that place would not only eliminate concerns about the city's food supplies, but would also disrupt the enemy's troop deployment rhythm.
It's absolutely beneficial and has no drawbacks!
When Chris shared his views in the war camp, all the high-ranking officers and generals there were stunned and speechless.
Haha, Chris can't help but feel excited every time he recalls the atmosphere back then. They must have thought I was a war genius!
Finally, Ainar asked a question: "Elder, even if you are right, how do we break in?"
Admittedly, the Central Community's costly winter raids have been very effective over the past two months, capturing several cities in succession.
However, the cost is also considerable.
Supplies were consumed in large quantities, and soldiers suffered heavy losses.
Two hundred wizards, enlightened by magic potions, died in the enemy's hasty battle.
Seven hundred people died in the strong winds that brought wet snow and hail.
Two thousand people died from frostbite.
Nearly 10,000 people perished from the cold itself.
Along the way, Chris saw many naked soldiers, frozen solid.
Chris couldn't understand why they would strip naked in the freezing cold.
In short, Chris's troops also suffered heavy losses.
To capture several cities, quickly penetrate deep into enemy territory, and seize Hedy Square, a much heavier price would inevitably have to be paid.
The troops may face a situation of insufficient combat effectiveness.
Chris couldn't deny that.
The central community was already besieged on all sides, fighting on multiple fronts, and needed to divert troops to deal with possible surprise attacks from all directions, so it could not concentrate its forces.
In other words, Chris's wizard army also encountered a severe shortage of combat power.
Chris came up with two solutions.
One is to rely on the power of the deep-sea race.
The will of the ocean within that cane swiftly told Chris how to seek help.
He assured Chris that once Chris completed the summoning ritual, a massive army would come to him to bring slaughter and conquest.
Judging from the tone of the other party, this must be beneficial support.
Chris even felt that this potential deep-sea army alone would be enough to end the war.
However, Chris had strictly completed the ritual as required, with the assistance of his natural wizards, but the promised army was still nowhere to be seen.
Chris urged him repeatedly, but only received the same reply: "Be patient. The deep sea understands your will, but the journey is long and the tools need sharpening. The longer you wait, the better the results will be."
Chris was skeptical, but there was nothing he could do.
But he also understood that he couldn't place all his hopes on the other party.
In the end, he still had to rely on himself.
Since our combat strength will be severely depleted, why not just replenish it?
And this is Chris's second plan.
He has ordered his alchemists to produce potions at full capacity.
Whether it's the latest transparent potion or the original inferior potion.
He didn't care about the quality as long as he could bring Chris a wizard.
In any case, most of them will die on the battlefield, so there is no need to consider the side effects of the potion.
As for those who took the potion—
Whenever the gates of a new city are opened, Chris will forcibly conscript soldiers.
Any resident over the age of ten, regardless of gender, will take his potion and become a member of his wizard army.
His army may not only not be reduced, but may even expand.
Ah! What a brilliant strategy!
