The epic story of green monsters

Chapter 1141 Choice
Alan ran all the way, and in less than two days he arrived at the northern frontier where Coldwind Fortress was located, which was guarded by Coldwind Post.

The fortress is located between and connected to two mountains tens of meters high, like a huge shield inserted across the ground, cutting off the southern elves' way to the north.

On the top of each mountain, there is a wizard tower, which can not only see the movements of the northern elves from afar, but also extend the range of the wizard tower to more than 100 meters, making it more effective. However, the outer part of the hill has been hewn into a straight wall by the warriors of the northern border. The granite stone of the mountain itself is seamlessly integrated, and then the drow used some secret materials to re-coat and transform it. The strength is even not less than the defense of the outer wall of Nasir Fortress.

At this time, flags were waving above the Quefeng Fortress, and people were crowded around, creating a solemn and murderous scene.

Before they got close to the fortress, they could feel the auras of several powerful men rising up, and then black spots from the exhaust gas within the fortress quickly flew towards the direction where Alan and the others were.

"Your Mightiness!!"

"Clan leader!!!"

The people who came were the commanders of the legion stationed at the fortress. When they saw Alan coming, their faces relaxed a little, as if they had seen their backbone.

If it weren't for Allen's strong push, there wouldn't be the current ten regular legions of the Northern Alliance, let alone the current Desolate Wind Fortress. For these legion commanders, Allen's existence has been their biggest backer and staunch supporter from the beginning, not to mention Allen's legendary life is the object of yearning and worship for most of the natives in the North.

"What's the situation in the north now?"

Alan was not familiar with several legendary commanders, and he didn't even remember some of their names. However, he didn't have time to communicate with them one by one, so he went straight to the point and asked about the things that concerned them most.

"The main elf army has already breached the Snow Eagle Fortress, the Frozen Earth Castle and other important strongholds of the Dwarf Kingdom in the Snowy Highlands. They should be less than 500 miles away from the Molten Steel King City."

"The speed of the dwarf army's return to the southern front, such as Bloodfury Fortress, is indeed not as fast as that of the elven army. It will take about a week for the first vanguard army to reach the Chagori Hills where the Molten Steel City is located."

"Now that the Dwarf Kingdom has gotten over the initial shock and turmoil, it has also issued a call for conscription. It should be able to gather a large-scale militia before the elf army presses into the royal city..."

"...But we are worried that the elven army will allocate an elite force to set up an ambush at the place where the dwarf reinforcements from the south must pass. If the dwarf commander is eager to hurry on his way and ignores this danger, the reinforcements may suffer heavy losses."

"... Let's prepare for the worst. If the dwarf army is surrounded and attacked, then the Elf Kingdom is likely to occupy the Dwarf Kingdom's capital, Molten Steel City. This will be a heavy blow to the Dwarf Kingdom!!"

Several legendary commanders in the North are now dedicated to the army. In addition to the improvement of their own strength, the biggest change may be the improvement of military strategy. In response to Allen's inquiries, they not only told Allen the latest intelligence, but also told him their judgment on the future direction of the war.

"what can we do?"

Alan asked again briefly.

"……Well……"

Several legion commanders looked at each other in bewilderment, and paused at this moment, until Nelson, the legendary leader of the hobgoblins from the Green Field, mustered up the courage to look Alan in the eye and answered solemnly: "Then we need to know to what extent Your Excellency or the North will participate in this war."

"..."

Alan concentrated slightly, and it was obvious that he was still hesitant in his heart about the extent to which the North should get involved in this war. However, he then asked tentatively: "What if we just help the Dwarf Kingdom overcome this crisis and buy time for them to deploy their defenses?"

"That also depends on your determination, sir. And this should be the most difficult one!!"

Nelson's words were sonorous and powerful, and he immediately gave the conclusion they had discussed for several days: "Even if we now deploy the Northern Alliance troops in front of the Thorn Castle Fortress and make an attacking gesture, the main force of the Elven Kingdom that has invaded the Snowy Plateau will not hesitate to advance eastwards, and will continue to march forward at a rapid pace."

"Our direct attack on Thorn Castle may put pressure on the royal family of the Elven Kingdom, but it will have limited impact on the war situation on the northern front. The enemy commander is unlikely to turn his guns against us just because of our pressure, and we are not so powerful that the elves need to treat us with caution."

"Unless we send an elite team carrying a blood and flesh altar to set up an ambush at a place that the elven army must pass through along their route, and mobilize all five legions stationed in the Bleak Wind Fortress, we should be able to delay the elven army's offensive at a huge cost, or even if all five legions are annihilated."

"..."

Allen didn't expect Nelson and the others to give him such an answer. He thought that the North was now strong, at least it could make the elves look at it differently and pay attention to it, but now Nelson's words completely shattered Allen's fantasy. "Of course, we can also persuade the drow to join the army. They should have similar methods to the Altar of Flesh and Blood, but we don't think the drow matrons are willing to sacrifice their own interests for the safety of the dwarf kingdom."

Nelson paused briefly, and when he saw that Allen didn't say anything, he added again.

"So what do you think we can do now?"

Allen was quite sure about the judgment of the professionals, and then he asked Nelson another question.

"If we only consider the safety of the North, then there is nothing wrong with our current situation. No matter how powerful the Elven Kingdom is, they will not be so foolish as to initiate a two-front war."

"We have enough time to think and prepare for the situation after the elves break through the capital of the dwarf kingdom, whether it is to expand the size of the coalition forces or build strong fortifications."

"Of course, if Your Excellency wants to give an explanation to the Dwarven Kingdom and put pressure on the Elven Kingdom, we can now mobilize the northern border and push the troops forward to the border of Thorn Castle!!"

"As long as we don't take the initiative to shoot the first arrow, the elves will definitely not rashly launch an offensive against us. At most, they will transfer more troops from their homeland to take precautions. When the war with the dwarves is over, they will not have any excuses to attack our northern border because of our normal troop movements! ”

Nelson first said the choice that most of the natives in the North wanted, and then he quietly observed Allen's expression. After sensing that Allen was not satisfied with this, he spoke again: "Of course, in our opinion, the best option is to immediately mobilize all tribes in the North and form a main force of more than one million people. At the same time, persuade the drow to join forces and take advantage of the emptiness of the Elf Kingdom at this time to directly counterattack the Elf Kingdom's homeland."

"As long as we can seize the opportunity to push the border to the Hengduan Mountains in the southern part of the Elf Kingdom and build a defensive line, we will have a large enough buffer zone in the north to calmly deal with future attacks from the elves."

Obviously, Nelson and his men already possessed the qualities of a qualified soldier, which was a thirst for war and military merit, because for them, if they wanted to be promoted and gain greater power, everything had to be obtained through war.

Allen was keenly aware of Nelson's intentions and couldn't help but ask, "Well, even if we occupy a vast elven territory, who can take on the task of protecting the occupied elven land? Or is there any force in the wilderness that can ensure that these lands will not be taken back by the elves again?"

"Chief, isn't this just a major boost to your wilderness reform?"

Nelson and his team must have discussed related issues before, and they already had the answer to Allen's question in mind: "After nearly a hundred years of development, many wilderness tribes have reached a population size and number of strong people close to the baseline for becoming formal members of the alliance, and there are more than a hundred quasi-formal members with a population size of more than 50,000."

"Rather than letting them compete for resources with other official members of the nearby alliance in the wilderness and drag each other down, it is better to allow them to join the alliance and allow them to migrate to the plains in the south of the Elf Kingdom to survive."

"The land here is more fertile, the resources are more abundant, and there are no other powerful tribes to hinder or influence us. As long as the newly rising tribal leaders have great ambitions, someone will definitely be tempted!!"

"As long as there are enough wilderness tribes migrating to this land, they will become a powerful force in resisting the elves' counterattack."

"At the same time, our Northern Territory will also gain these manpower reinforcements and become a more powerful faction in the Alliance!!"

"..."

Alan was somewhat tempted by the blueprint drawn by Nelson, but he was also aware of the huge risks involved. If he really occupied the vast lands of several provinces in the southern part of the Elf Kingdom, it would mean a complete break with the elves. If the other party turned their guns and directed all their forces at himself and the North, then Alan had no confidence at all whether they could withstand the crushing power of such a powerful civilization.

"cough!!"

"Collect the latest intelligence and your various deductions about this war into a book, and then give it to me!!"

“It would be better if you could provide more details!!”

He had just arrived, and it was impossible for him to make such an important decision based on Nelson's few words. After the chaotic emotions in his heart were forced into the depths of his mind, Alan looked at the other person's determined face again, and his eyes had become calm and clear.

"clear!!"

Nelson and several other commanders felt a little depressed, but then they raised their heads and responded in a loud voice.
