Chapter 1202: Site Selection for the City of War
On the morning of June 9774, 6 of the Glorious Calendar, in the main hall of the Ceres Fortress, Weilin sat in the main seat, and the other nine corps generals took their seats one by one.
"General Ignis, let's begin."
Hearing this, Ignis, who was sitting in the third seat on the left, stood up, bowed solemnly to Weilin, and began to narrate:
"Since receiving the order from the Corps Command half a month ago, Fortress Ceres has dispatched 1,357 Griffin Knights and 126 Dragon Knights to conduct reconnaissance in the area controlled by our side in the Kamo Tribe area."
"After investigation and measurement, there are 31 locations suitable for placing the war city. After confirmation by my subordinates, we have finally selected two best locations for you to decide."
As soon as he finished speaking, a phantom sand table appeared above the conference table, showing the topography of the Kamo tribal area vividly.
Weilin leaned back on the wooden chair, crossed his arms, looked up at the topographic map, and waited for Ignis to continue his explanation.
However, compared with the map of the Kamo tribal area in memory, the terrain of this map has changed greatly.
In the original map, the Kamo tribal area had a hilly area of more than 10,000 square kilometers near the Celes Fortress, but now it has become a plain.
With a little thought, you can understand that this was done by the Mage Group.
"The first location is in the town of Wamo, 83 kilometers southwest of the Seres Fortress. Due to changes in the terrain, this place has now become a battlefield. If we move forward, we can directly threaten the northern trade capital of the Coles United Kingdom, Guludao City. If we move backward, we can directly cut off the connection between the 30,000 square kilometers of land near the Seres Fortress and the Kamo tribal area of the Coles United Kingdom."
"The second location is Ganapaka City, located between Rigatulan City and the Giant Stone Mountain Fortress. It is used as a transit city. If the Corps places the City of War here, after completely occupying the Kamo tribal area, it can use this as the center to control the output of major minerals."
Looking at the two locations marked in red on the topographic map, Weilin sat up straight, placed his hands on the table, crossed his arms, and asked, "What do you think?"
Feeling the gazes of the others, Leonas instantly realized that the other three were waiting for him to answer first.
Comparing the advantages and disadvantages of the two places, Leonas pondered for a moment and said, "Sir Knight Yongxi, I think Ganapaka City is more suitable for placing the City of War."
Upon hearing this, Weilin did not express his attitude clearly. He turned to look at the other three and asked, "What about you?"
"At this stage, I think strategic significance is the top priority, so I think the city of war can be placed in the town of Wamer." Seeing this, Mafarna expressed his thoughts.
Selina saw Weilin's eyes on her, so she stood up, bowed, and said, "Sir Knight Yongxi, I am not very good at commanding operations, so I will not rashly express my opinion on the location of the war city."
Pragon followed closely behind, stood up and bowed slightly to Weilin, and said, "Sir Knight Yongxi, my thoughts are similar to Bishop Selina's. In terms of commanding operations, you and Paladin Lionas have absolute authority. As a relative layman, I will not make any humble suggestions."
After hearing the answers from the four people, Weilin did not directly announce the location of the War City, but looked at the commanders and deputy commanders of each legion sitting in the back.
As far as his eyes could see, except for Kyle and Mitchell, everyone else lowered their heads, not daring to look Weilin in the eye.
Seeing this, Weilin gave up the idea of asking further questions.
If it weren't for the upcoming Legion of Light Shield and Legion of Star Oath, he would have chosen the town of Wamer as the site for the City of War out of caution, but the situation is obviously different now.
"I am determined to win this battle. The Kamo Tribal Area will surely fall into the hands of the Ninth and Twelfth Corps, so I have decided—"
Having said that, Weilin stopped and looked around, seeing the understanding in everyone's eyes. It was obvious that except for a few strong generals, everyone else had already guessed the answer.
"General Ignis."
Ignis stood up and said respectfully, "Sir Knight Yongxi, please give me your orders."
Weilin raised his hand slightly and dispersed the light dot representing the city of Ganapaka on the topographic map. Then he said, "Ramp this city within three days."
Seeing this, Ignis replied, "I will follow your orders."
"After this meeting, all troops will be placed on the highest state of combat readiness."
"Yes."
Everyone responded.
"The meeting is now disbanded. Lionas and Kyle will stay, and the rest of you will go down and continue preparing for the battle."
Upon hearing this, everyone stood up, saluted, and then left the hall one after another.
In less than a moment, there were only three people left in the entire hall.
Seeing this, Weilin waved to Kyle, motioning him to sit closer, and asked, "Do you feel any pressure in being the bait this time?"
"No." Kyle answered, "The great victory of Fortress Ceres earlier made the 25th Legion eager to fight. This time, they were assigned to attack the remnants of the 3rd Legion of the Black Asian Orcs Northern Army, which made everyone in the legion very excited."
After hearing this, Weilin's eyes flashed with hesitation, and then he said, "Doing this is somewhat unfair to the 25th Legion. After this battle, when distributing resources and minerals as spoils of war, the 25th Legion will have priority in choosing."
"My lord, on behalf of the more than 50,000 soldiers of the 25th Legion, I thank you for your gift." Kyle expressed his gratitude.
Weilin nodded slightly, then looked at Lionas and asked, "How long will it take for the Holy Light Shield Legion and the Star Covenant Legion to reach the Ceres Fortress?"
"It is expected to be in two days." Lionas thought for a moment and said, "According to the information obtained by my subordinates, there are three legendary strongmen accompanying the Holy Light Shield Legion and the Star Covenant Legion this time."
"Who are they?" Weilin showed a curious look on his face and couldn't help but ask.
Lionas shook his head and replied, "I'm not sure about this at the moment."
Weilin felt a little disappointed when he heard this, and then he said, "It doesn't matter if I don't know. Anyway, the arrival of three legendary masters will be a great help to our Ninth Corps."
After saying this, Weilin added silently in his heart: "I am more confident about carrying out that bold plan."
