Chapter 2389 - 1062: Full-scale Detonation (Part 3)
This is an open scheme.If the Great Chieftain of the Undead Stone Giants covets the divine nature incarnation of the King of the Jackalweres, they must pay this price.
This matter cannot be kept secret in public, and Katherine and her team will not let it be kept secret.
This matter will inevitably follow their war on the Giant Plains and spread throughout the Felen Continent.
This war has officially sparked a vigorous anti-bandit campaign that swept and affected nearly half of the Felen Continent.
The first to take action was neither the Shadow Wing Guild’s Shadow Wings nor Katherine’s Strategy Priests, but the Bards led by Regina.
They embarked on a tour with Ms. Regina’s new work - The Enemy of Civilization.
It contains numerous clips stacked with various atrocities committed by monsters, primarily Jackalweres and Ghouls.
There are painful memories of the survivors, the last memories of the unfortunate ones before their tragic deaths, and the bleak scenes after the towns were destroyed by those monsters.
Such soul memories are common in Felen, with no need for deliberate searching, Regina can gather a large amount and select the most tragic and typical ones to present them in the way most likely to resonate with people.
Within minutes, they can stir the emotions of the masses, making their anger and hatred towards those monsters reach an extreme.
Many people who have suffered deeply wish they could immediately raise swords against those monsters in retaliation.
When the wave of retaliation sweeps in, they will naturally respond and join in.
Before the full-scale campaign against bandits unfolds, the most anxious are not the monsters in the wilderness, most of whom lack sensitive intelligence and do not know a storm targeting them is coming.
Rather, it’s Gaven’s neighbors and the city-states and villages surrounding the Conqueror Path. Upon receiving the news, they have no choice but to prepare for war immediately, ready to join this full-scale anti-bandit effort.
It’s not that Gaven’s influence is so great as to mobilize them, but rather that they are forced to join in.
Those monsters have no concept of homeland. If they face a fatal threat, they won’t defend their territory to the death; flight is often their first choice, especially for Jackalweres.
They are notorious for being itinerant criminals, and a Jackalwere Battalion with over a hundred members could leave traces spanning hundreds of kilometers.
If they do not take action, those monsters slaughtered and driven out will influx their territories, worsening their territory’s security at best.
The worst fear is that those roaming monsters band together, forming a Monster Army, leading to devastating consequences for many towns.
At this time, Strategy Priests and Shadow Wing Thieves converge in groups, bringing with them corresponding strategic tactics and powerful military support.
Those villages and gathering points with relatively weak military strength can’t refuse; most will adopt their suggestions, beginning to strengthen the defense of their towns, recruit militias, and intensify training.
Doesn’t this sound very familiar?
This belongs to the core divine position of Lady Strategy - military planning.
Even if they do not worship Lady Strategy, as long as they know this method originates from her and are willing to apply it practically, it will generate a continuous force of divine nature.
As long as they are willing to use it, many of them won’t be far from becoming followers of Lady Strategy.
Especially when we see battle scenarios where the few overcome the many, turning impossibility into possibility, the number of believers will grow dramatically.
This phenomenon is fully displayed in The Eastern Desolation, especially in Tavelan.
Lady Strategy’s faith has rapidly become the largest faith there; everyone takes pride in wearing red armor, plans in hand, strategy on lips, and seems everyone has become an excellent strategist and tactician. Not discussing this would make one seem inferior.
Within this are real business operations and strategic plans, but more often it’s empty talk, a malady naturally emerging from rapid development needing true Strategy Priests to correct and guide to put everything on the right track, but this matter requires time, a lot of time.
In sum, this will be another day of Lady Strategy’s triumph, where she could wake from dreams with laughter.
Such multi-territory linked military actions are unprecedented in Felen.
Although held under the banner of anti-banditry, the scope, army involvement, and personnel influence far exceed the recently ended Tukan Invasion War in The Eastern Desolation.
Lady Strategy’s strengths are fully exhibited in front of the worldly eyes through these Strategy Priests.
Their tactics are diverse, tailor-made to fit local circumstances in devising the most suitable strategies and tactics.
Like on the Giant Plains, there is only one large-scale war.
Even in the Faith City, whose situation is exceedingly similar, the war was relatively restrained. After all, they are a solitary city there, and the Blackscaled Lizardfolk fighting alongside them are not adept at land warfare.
They mostly opt for small-scale operations, either directly raiding enemy camps, encircling the enemy, or deploying ranger units for guerrilla tactics in the wilderness.
Sometimes it’s not necessarily to strike out but to lure and provoke the enemy to attack, utilizing the town’s defensive advantages for a defensive counterattack.
In sum, it’s about fully utilizing one’s strengths to strike the enemy’s weaknesses.
Aiming to achieve the greatest victory with the least sacrifice, to gain maximum benefit.
Underprepared, those Monster Tribes in the wilderness crumble under meticulously crafted tactics.
They are either massively slaughtered and annihilated or flee to other towns or more barren wasteland or escape to uninhabited deep forests.
And this is just the beginning.
No matter where these fleeing monsters run, they will bring war, slaughter, and plunder there.
Those barren regions or deep forests are just places with sparse intelligent life forms, led by Humans, but are not truly vacuous zones.
They either annex the local Monster Force, replacing them.
Or be annexed by the local Monster Force, becoming their slaves or servants.
In any war, there will be winners and losers.
Lady Strategy’s believers are no exception; their strategic tactics only boost their chances of success, not guaranteeing victory.
Crashes are not rare.
