Hmm, this place is really perfect for a cemetery!

-Extra chapter [12/30]

(For the brother “Whole Lotta Good,” an additional update on 12/20)

Shadow Valley is truly a strategic location that military leaders fight over.

It is perfectly positioned on the path from Blackflame Mountain Pass through Wasteland Mountain into Baphomet Canyon, elevated and with a dangerous terrain, it can perfectly block the only road leading to Transylvania without needing to form a position with other points.

If the Wolf People enter here without sending forces to capture Shadow Valley, their march will surely be long exposed to the onslaught of the defending forces.

But if they send people and still can’t take it for a while, although the valley’s resources aren’t abundant so they can’t hold out for too long, having such a ‘thorn’ here ensures the Wolf People won’t have an easy time no matter what they choose.

In simple terms, strategic tactics are just that simple, making the enemy feel the urge on their back means a good tactic, and strategies that make the enemy curse loudly are naturally excellent, while making them want to blow you to the sky with grenades means perfection.

The harsher the enemy curses you, the more it shows you’ve done something right.

It’s fair to say that when Adel’s mother led the gladiators who escaped from Mejewa City to choose this camp, they really invested effort, which ultimately benefited the Transia People decades later who were preparing for a grand move amid the Black Disaster.

“What a great place!”

As evening fell, Maxim, floating in the sky, could not help but express his admiration as he observed the terrain around Shadow Valley, this Vampire General who was leading troops into battle for the first time.

Kudler, the People’s Guard, who accompanied him, also nodded repeatedly.

Rubbing the mustache he recently grew upon his granddaughter’s suggestion, he said:

“Back in the day we didn’t find such a good place, perhaps due to time constraints, or because the first-phase battlefield was in the Dark Mountain Range, during the fourth Black Disaster, the human expeditionary forces were sent to cooperate with the vampires within the range of the Dark Mountain Range.

Our main forces also stopped at Blackflame Mountain Pass, we set up twelve layers of defense as much as possible but couldn’t hold for even half a month before being completely destroyed by the King of Bone Biting’s meteor tactic, that battle even changed the terrain of Blackflame Mountain Pass.

I was also brought back to Transylvania by Salockdale after the offense and defense ended, perhaps that guy took me from the pile of dead bodies descended by the meteorite.

Alas, if we had set up a second camp here back then, maybe after Blackflame Mountain Pass was breached, we could have held on for a while longer.”

“That was, after all, the King of Bone Biting, Lord Kudler, the only absolute leader in the history of the Wolf People, a failure in front of him is nothing, it doesn’t mean you weren’t a warrior.”

Maxim softly said:

“The good news is this time we don’t have to face the King of Bone Biting, the bad news is there won’t be any human expeditionary army now either.

Our plan to confront the enemy abroad didn’t get the approval of Lupa and King Louis, both nations are unwilling to risk with us, they prefer to adopt traditional tactics.

They plan to sacrifice Transylvania again to delay the advance of the Wolf People, they want to fight a blockade warfare on our land as they did in the previous four times.”

The Vampire General, nicknamed “Monster,” looked back and saw that behind the marching ranks of the Cadman People’s Army, which had completed re-equipment, the artillerymen of the Goldenrod Vanguard of the Exploration Corps were also observing the surroundings.

This force of five hundred artillerymen is the only foreign corps, apart from the Transia People, to have crossed the Polluted Swamp, commanded by Colonel Fraser and Major Ron.

Though allies, and although this force also participated in the attack on Wolf Castle in the Swamp Battle, the light in Maxim’s eyes at this moment was anything but friendly.

This sentiment was captured by Kudler, who shook his head and said:

“They still came, you know, that noble’s descendant didn’t actually have to come, no one could accuse him of cowardice.

Just based on this, you shouldn’t reveal your true thoughts in front of them.

Mark, you are a General now!

Striving for victory is your duty, under such circumstances, unite with these courageous people who can be united, their firepower deployed at the perimeter passes can also be a big help.”

“I understand, Lord Kudler.”

Maxim nodded, continuing to gaze around, he said:

“I will stand here as the master wishes, I will strike every Wolf Person that comes into my sight, and I will keep fighting until we win.

So while I’m fighting away from the border, I leave the Maginot Line to you.

We both know this battle here is just the appetizer, the real decisive battle will ignite there.”

Kudler did not reply.

As the highest commander of the Maginot Line appointed by Murphy, Kudler was aware of the strategic advice that Happy Rod gave to Murphy, he had even seen the map of the final form of the Maginot Line, which Happy Rod has yet to reveal.

That represents a terrifying strategy, and in his heart, he hasn’t been able to make a decision.

Kudler is not a traditional vampire, even after entering the nocturnal realm for over a century, that small part of human nature still stubbornly demands he don’t make such a “dangerous” decision.

But Kudler knows very well that once the situation develops to that point, he will have to make a choice between Transylvania and Kato.

Happy Rod has already constructed the Maginot Line in such a manner, that cunning and war-skilled foreigner surely planned “to divert disaster to the east” from the start, it’s just a pity he wasn’t sharp enough to notice the secrets hidden in those blueprints.
