Pioneer Lord: Starting From Daily Intelligence

After coming to this conclusion, Knight Oerstein continued to explain: ”Our Hesse Territory not only has a powerful army and a solid fortress but also ample food reserves.”

”No matter how strong the Green Dragon Legion is, as long as they can’t defeat us in one blow, they will face the challenge of how to attack Heisen Castle.”

”Therefore, as long as we stay put, the Green Dragon’s followers can only camp outside the strong city.”

Su Li nodded slightly; military fortresses and engineering works are one of humankind’s greatest advantages in war.

It’s not about one Green Dragon, even a powerful Green Skin Warlord finds itself crashing and bleeding before human strongholds.

As long as the morale within the city is solid, a force of three thousand men can defend against tens of thousands of monsters.

Commander-in-Chief Oerstein shared this assessment and continued: ”To take down Heisen Castle, relying solely on the power of the Green Dragon Legion is far from sufficient. Unless the Green Dragon itself comes, wreaking havoc with its massive size and long-term use of dragon’s breath and acid corrosion, it’s impossible to dismantle Heisen Castle’s strong defenses.”

Su Li frowned and asked concernedly: ”My commander, how long do you think our Heisen Castle can hold out under the Green Dragon’s ravages?”

Knight Oerstein shook his head vigorously and said: ”I don’t know how long we can hold out. But I do know that it will be long enough for us to win. Because the Green Dragon can’t afford it!”

”Can’t afford it? Are you referring to the food shortage of the Green Dragon Legion?” Su Li asked habitually. In war of attrition, especially in cold weapon warfare, food is always the most critical factor.

Su Li doubted whether this monster legion had as long-term planning as humans, fearing they wouldn’t gather a large amount of food before the battle.

Once food is insufficient, even the strongest legion will crumble.

If the Green Dragon Legion relies only on hunting, it certainly cannot sustain such a large legion’s prolonged siege.

Oerstein chuckled and shook his head, saying: ”Food shortage is, of course, one of the problems facing the Green Dragon Legion. But given the Green Dragon’s cruelty and cunning, it probably has solutions, and we must not underestimate it.”

”The greatest reason it can’t afford it is because of its treasure hoard!”

”With the Green Dragon’s greed, it absolutely does not dare to stay away from its nest for long, wreaking havoc on the battlefield in person. The treasures in its nest are more important than its life; it doesn’t dare to engage in prolonged attrition with us, for fear of thieves sneaking into its nest again.”

After hearing this, Su Li’s eyes lit up, feeling a sense of enlightenment. He stood up excitedly, clapping his hands, and said: ”Exactly! Exactly! This is indeed a key to our victory. Especially since the Green Dragon recently experienced a theft in its Dragon’s Nest, it must now be extremely paranoid and suspicious.”

”As long as we show the posture of luring it out, away from the Dragon’s Nest, it will surely be suspicious and reluctant to stay on the battlefield for long.”

This war has completely transformed into a total war, where the confrontation is not just the clashing of swords and armor on the battlefield but also involves power, logistics, tactics, even the character of the commanders-in-chief.

And in all of this, it is evident that humanity holds an overwhelming advantage.

The Green Dragon Legion is indeed powerful, but they certainly won’t be able to operate at full strength with various deficiencies.

This is also why, in this world, the forces of justice are always under siege by evil armies, yet there are always human heroes who can stand out and save the situation.

However, Su Li couldn’t help but ask: ”Are we to just stay put and hold the forts stubbornly? When will the war end like this?”

Commander-in-Chief Oerstein immediately replied: ”Of course, we’re not going to passively defend; on the contrary, we need to take an offensive stance in this battle.”

Hearing this, Su Li finally couldn’t help but question: ”Although I’m not a military strategist, I do have basic military knowledge. If you’ve chosen to stay put, how can you actively attack? Doesn’t this contradict fundamental military theory?”
