Boiling Beast Bloodline-Chapter 2105 - 656: Only the Ruthless Can Be True Men (Part 4)

"It’s simple! If you’re really planning to hold the Sanggan River crossing, there’s no reason not to build fortifications on the north bank!" Rommel smiled faintly. "From a military defense perspective, constructing a fortification on the north bank of the Sanggan River, then relying on two Sky Gardens floating above the river, is far easier to defend against the Demon Clan’s army than relying solely on one defense line at Florence. The Demon Clan’s army attacking the Red Earth Highland is on flat ground and can use siege equipment, but attacking the north bank is not feasible; they first have to cross the natural barrier of the Sanggan River, then successfully seize the beachhead before they can attack your defense line, and that’s quite difficult!"

"I don’t seem to have built a second line of defense on the north bank..."

"Your Beamon have had the technology for Kiln Brick Forging since last year, and Florence has been heavily fortifying its martial towers. You clearly have ample time and resources, but still, you haven’t built a second river defense line, which inevitably raises my suspicions!" Rommel squinted at Old Liu. "You’re also someone who has rolled through bloody battles and understand the importance of staggered defense lines and defense depth. To pin all hopes of guarding the Sanggan River on one Red Earth Highland, you’re not that stupid!"

Such a dire situation, yet you dare to be so complacent! Based on your character, you must have a trump card for defeating the enemy!

That’s why I’ve been obsessively pondering, relentlessly analyzing through sleepless nights, trying to figure out what kind of trump card gives you such absolute confidence!"

"Just because I haven’t built a defense line on the north bank of the Sanggan River, you made such a deduction!" Liu Zhankai shivered with goosebumps. "Obischillaci! Are you even human? Damn it, if I had known earlier, I’d have built that defense line!"

"See?" the handsome commander combed his hair, revealing faint strands of silver at his temples. "This is all because of you! Others can’t figure it out because they haven’t deeply studied your personality! I’m different; I know you too well!"

After a pause, Rommel laughed again: "Don’t make me sound so divine. Initially, I also went astray, considering issues only from strategic and tactical perspectives, continually analyzing your advantages, until I truly couldn’t find a conclusion and began recollecting your deeds and experiences to gradually deduce the final answer!"

Unexpectedly, there exists someone who achieves strategic victory without relying on strategic layout!

You are indeed a genius accustomed to unconventional paths! 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

But don’t say I didn’t warn you: the art of war still favors steady victories; it’s better to repair the north bank defense line because relying solely on two Babylon Hanging Gardens floating above the river is not entirely foolproof!"

"That’s none of your concern! You think the Demon Clan might also realize your deductions; there are clever people everywhere!"

"If the Demon Clan insists on dispatching troops to Aegean, they definitely haven’t considered this issue." Rommel shook his head. "Actually, your biggest advantage is the timing of the Sea Clan deciding to attack Aegean. The more the Demon Clan watches the tigers fight from the mountain, the more unfavorable the situation becomes for them! The longer it drags on, even if some might realize it, whether they dare to advance on Aegean is another question entirely!"

Fool! You ultimately didn’t guess the real crux, nor did you anticipate the extent of my ambitions! Liu Zhankai chuckled quietly to himself but verbally agreed, saying you’re absolutely right.

"It is said that wise birds choose the right tree to perch on; they don’t nest in a fire pit. Personally, it doesn’t matter much if I’m sidelined or isolated in Lusen, but I have to consider the partners who have been following me through thick and thin, in the wind and rain. I can’t let them be buried with the fallen Elves." Rommel sighed deeply. "Precisely because I saw through these facts, I had to leave Lusen as soon as possible. If the Demon Clan comes, the fallen Elves will likely surrender early, and eventually, I’ll suffer the consequences too."

"Who can stop you if you want to leave? With your strength, plus the Listening Silver Elephant, there’s no master among the fallen Elves who can match you!" Liu Zhankai frowned. "As men, whether doing good or evil, we should be forthright. If you use your escape as an excuse, then you’re a bit too sinister and shameless! If you wish to raise your own flag, just do it; why make those tedious excuses!"

"It’s easier to climb up the mountain but difficult to descent; you’re right. If I want to leave Lusen, no one can stop me. But I have many subordinates in Lusen City, and the fallen Elves have indirectly hinted to me that whoever wishes to leave Lusen can only go solo; if you want to take others along, you’re responsible for the consequences!"

"I already told you not to make excuses. I’m not one of those Beamon like Smey who can’t tolerate grains of sand in his eyes!" Liu Zhankai kicked the asphalt on the ground. "To leave Lusen with your subordinates, you use such a poison scheme to undermine the fallen Elves? Is this your justification?"

"Why do Moore and Drow dominate the Gray Dwarves, Eagle-Bull people, and River Immortals? Where do their advantages and confidence come from? It’s nothing more than the sheer number of Fallen Mages! Without first shaking their ruling foundation, if I want to lead people out, wouldn’t I be waiting for the Lusen army to chase us wildly across the fields?"
