"Commander Fleming, now that the Mont City is taken, what do you think is the next move of the Holy Sea Empire?" Rocky asked as he was walking along the city wall. With wary eyes, he looked at the direction of Mont City.
"With my understanding, the Holy Sea Empire will take advantage of the victory to chase us. In addition to the Heaven Unicorn City, there are other two small cities surrounding the Mont City. Those three small cities are close to each other. If the Holy Sea Empire can take them down, then they can use those three small cities to defend the Mont City," Fleming replied with a serious voice.
"Is that so? Then, which city do you think the Holy Sea Empire will attack first?" Rocky asked as his eyes squinted at the man.
"Hmm... Judging from the terrain of the three small cities, the Holy Sea Empire should first attack Yu City in the southeast of Mont City. That city was built by the river, and there is only one way to get to the city. It's very easy to defend. If the military forces are equally powerful, the advantage will definitely fall to the defenders. However, the recent military forces of the Holy Sea Empire can easily take Yu City down. Therefore, if the Holy Sea Empire brings Yu City down first, then it would be difficult for us to take it back," Fleming analyzed with serious eyes.
"I understand. After that, which city will be next?" Rocky asked as he nodded.
"After they secured Yu City, they'll definitely conquer Heaven Unicorn City next. You have also seen the terrain of the Heaven Unicorn City. It was surrounded by high slopes on all sides, which impaired its vision on the surrounding area. Therefore, it is very difficult to defend. Moreover, it's easy to be attacked from three sides. Its land features make it an easy target for a surprise attack. Therefore, the Heaven Unicorn City is the easiest to attack of the three cities and the hardest to defend," Fleming continued with a grim tone.
"Then, what about the last city?" Rocky continued to ask for more information.
"The last city is Grande City. It's more difficult to attack than Yu City because it was built on the waist of a cliff. The terrain is high, which means that if an enemy appears, they can immediately notice it. And there's only one way leading to the city, and it's steep and narrow. It's not a suitable place to fight. As such, the city is easy to defend and stable," Fleming said with admiration.
"With the exception of Heaven Unicorn City, how many soldiers are stationed in the other two cities?" After he heard the information about the terrain of the cities, Rocky asked about the warriors in the cities.
"Sadly, no more than two thousand," Fleming estimated as his face revealed a grim expression.
"Then, the total number of soldiers in the three cities is just six thousand!" A serious expression painted Rocky's face. If the number of warriors in the three cities combined was a little more, Rocky thought that he could get them to fight together. However, the recent number was far from sufficient and it was also hard to get them together.
"Rocky, have you thought of a plan?" A worried expression painted Isis' face as she asked. She already knew that the current situation was extremely adverse. If they couldn't find a solution, those three cities would become the target of the Holy Sea Empire.
"With our current forces, even if we join with the forces from the three small cities, it's difficult for us to fight against the Holy Sea Empire. The only way for us to have a decent fight is to ask for reinforcements. If there are no reinforcements, it will be difficult to defend the three cities!" Rocky said with a stern voice. The situation was completely different from that of Evian City. The Mont City had been brought down. Additionally, there were only less than three thousand members of the Crimson Dragon Army left. Even with all forces from the three small cities, the total number of soldiers would not exceed ten thousand. The Holy Sea Empire had three targets to attack. If they gathered forces to defend one city, then the Holy Sea Empire would just turn to another target. However, if they divided the forces into all of the three cities, then it was very likely that all of the three cities could be brought down. As such, a dilemma had fallen upon them.
In the current situation, even Rocky would feel powerless. Therefore, if he wanted to save the three cities, he had to ask the Crimson Dragon Army to send reinforcements just to narrow the gap of the power between the two forces.
"Sadly, the current situation of the Crimson Dragon Army is quite dire. I'm afraid they will hardly send reinforcements to us this time even if we ask for help," Isis said grimly as she narrowed her eyes. All of the forces of the Crimson Dragon Army were gathered in front of the defense line of the Timber Deity Empire. They were already difficult to be dispatched away in the first place. Otherwise, Mont City wouldn't have been attacked so badly and been devastated.
"From the right-wing defense of the Timber Deity Empire to Mont City, it takes merely two days. If we can have ten thousand troops from the right-wing defense to support us, I'll be able to secure the three cities. Perhaps, we can even take Mont City back!" At that time, Rocky was lacking of military forces. As long as they could solve the numbers problem, it wouldn't be difficult to deal with the Holy Sea Empire.
