This kind of conflict and hatred also continued within the Crusaders.

"You - humph!" Although he was very dissatisfied, the Lenseno man did not continue arguing, because he also knew that what the other party said made sense.

The navy was the weakness of the Crusaders. With a large number of landless knights and well-trained Aslan phalanx soldiers, the Crusaders were naturally invincible in land battles. However, naval battles were not their forte.

In this case, we have to think of other ways:

"The Moon Elves' navy is invincible. The navies of some human city-states are no match for us."

The first to speak was the princess who had become Aslan's ball of wool.

Although she has been successfully trained by Aslan in private, on the surface, she is still the shining elf princess. Her relationship with Aslan remains in a delicate state. To outsiders, she feels like a spoiled young lady who says one thing and does another.

She obviously likes Aslan very much, to the extent that anyone can see it. But she still insists that she doesn't like him. She just cooperates with Aslan in work.

As for what she said, everyone agreed with it.

Thousands of years ago, the elves' fleets were able to cross the ocean from the Old World to the New World. It is no problem to say that the elves' navigation technology is the best in the world.

"Iberval's elven fleet is indeed excellent, but the problem is that it may not be easy for Iberval's fleet to come from the Moon Sea region in the south." Aslan commented.

When the Spanish Invincible Armada went on an expedition to the Netherlands, they suffered heavy casualties even with such a short distance. Not to mention now, from the Sea of ​​the Moon to the Sea of ​​the Dead in the north, it is a long and tiring expedition.

Let's not talk about whether the moon elves are willing to do this. Even if they are willing, the price they ask for is probably too high. So this plan was directly passed.

The princess pursed her lips: "But——" She seemed to want to argue with Aslan to maintain her own image and prevent others from seeing more flaws. But before that, Aslan had forced the conversation to end:

"There is no 'but'." He said, "However, I would like to ask Iberval for some support in terms of naval instructors and professional and technical personnel."

"Let me think about this."

Although in reality, the princess would do everything Aslan asked of her with 120% of her heart, on the surface, the princess looked unhappy. One could not help but wonder how much effort Aslan had to put in to get the princess to give in.

"House Knowles can meet the naval needs of the Crusaders."

After Her Royal Highness the Princess finished speaking, the curly-haired lady Luvia on the other side spoke in an even more proud tone.

The eldest daughters are enemies of the eldest daughters. Luvia has many rivals in love, but the one she dislikes the most is Beatrice. Seeing Beatrice suffer a setback is even more pleasing than eating something herself.

"We, Norse, are the naval marshals of the Golden Eagle Empire. In the Sea of ​​Dead Souls, there is no naval force more powerful than ours."

The young lady crossed her arms and said something impressive, looking very impressive. She also received the approval of the Crusader commander.

The naval power of the Knowles family is indeed very good. It seems that in the new stage of the war, the Knowles family will shine.

The Golden Eagle Empire would probably also be able to gain more land through the military merits gained from naval battles.

This makes many people unwilling, but they can do nothing about it.

After all, anyone with a little common sense knows that the key to the war with the Northern Territory City-State Alliance lies in two points. One is siege, and the other is the navy.

Just like what was said about the Xenos before, the Northern Territory City-State Alliance does not have the ability to fight the Crusaders in the field. The combat effectiveness of their citizen soldiers is much worse than that of the Crusader Knights.

Therefore, the war mode of the two sides must be that the northern city-states defend the cities, while the Crusaders attack the cities.

On the other hand, there is naval warfare.

The Northern City-State Alliance's control of the sea must be cut off, making it impossible for them to obtain supplies by sea, in order to completely trap the city-state.

On the other hand, the Crusaders were currently unable to be self-sufficient. Their logistical supplies were transported from the south by sea.

If this transportation line is cut off by the navy of the Northern City-States, the Crusaders and the approximately 50,000 immigrants who have already migrated to the Northern Territory will be at risk of running out of food.

Therefore, naval battles are extremely important and determine the success or failure of the war.

"In this way, the amount of territory that Coach Aslan can directly control will become even greater."

The Crusaders could not help but think. But they did not become more dissatisfied or change their minds. The entry system played an important role.

"Then I'll leave it to you from now on." Aslan looked at Luvia and said this gently.

"Don't worry, leave it to me." Luvia said to Aslan with a confident look.

The matter was settled. Norse's navy would be responsible for fighting against the Northern Territory City-State Alliance navy.

The next meeting began to discuss the siege of those city-states.

All the generals received their own tasks.

The Lotharingians and the Wends were tasked with attacking the Ice Harbor City-State Alliance.

The people of Lenseno and the elves of Iberval are responsible for attacking the city-state alliance on the Frozen River.

The Crusaders of the Golden Eagle Empire were responsible for attacking the territory of the Lead Gray Dwarves.

Finally, Aslan's elite troops will be responsible for attacking the Giant Mountain Alliance in the north - this is also the most difficult task.

The Giant's Foot City-State is the farthest from the Crusaders' core, the New Port of Holy Light, requiring a 2,000-kilometer journey. In addition, the Giant's Foot City-State is the most powerful of all the city-states, and is said to have an unclear relationship with the frost giants.

Everyone respected Aslan's decision. If they were the decision makers, it would be difficult for them to make up their minds and leave such a difficult task to themselves.

……

So the strategy was decided.

The relatively loose Crusaders and the even looser city-state alliance both decided to divide their forces and fight on multiple fronts.

On the sea, on the river, and on the land, the war will sweep across the entire northern region.

Both sides are extremely confident and believe that they will win in the end.

And the winner will also receive an unparalleled reward - the supreme power of the entire Northern Territory.

Chapter 34: Comfort is needed

“Hey, will it really work?”

After the meeting, when only Aslan's maid harem was left, Teacher Nana couldn't help but grumble.

Now that all the outsiders have left, only the people who have a py relationship with Aslan are left. So Teacher Nana can make some things clearer:

"Although the Norse navy is the strongest in the Sea of ​​Souls, that is when those city-states did not form an alliance.

If the navies of those city-states were to unite, they would be stronger than the Norse navy. Wouldn't it be the Norse that would be beaten? "

"Don't worry."

Hearing what Teacher Nana said, Luvia was still confident: "That being said, they still have to unite their forces.

That takes time.

So we just need to seize the opportunity and strike quickly to defeat them one by one."

"Hmm...I see." Nana nodded thoughtfully: "Then I'll leave it to you."

Athrun: "Well, I'll leave it to Nana-sensei as well."

Nana: “???”

Athrun: "After much thought, I think that this naval battle will require the help of a legendary magician as good as Nana-sensei. So, let's ask Nana-sensei, Luvia, and the Duchess of Eremeo to go together."

"Hey, but... I want to go to the Northern Territory with you." After hearing what Aslan said, Teacher Nana started to act coquettishly.

Although everyone knew that she had been having an affair with Aslan, everyone still couldn't help but complain when they saw this guy like this.

"Be good and listen. I'll bring you a gift when I come back."

"Yeah, yeah, I want some candy."

Teacher Nana was sent away just like that. Everyone's concerns about the navy were also greatly reduced. I think the North Territory's No. 1 navy, plus the top legendary magician, would be enough to annihilate the enemy.

"That's all. Next, everyone go and pack up. Then, we should head north to the Giant's Foot."

"Uh-huh."

So everyone agreed to Aslan's words.

However, they agreed, but after that, they did not leave. Instead, they came over one by one. And one by one, they looked at Aslan with a smile. Although they did not speak, even a fool could see what they wanted to express.

Before setting off, Aslan needs to pay some travel expenses.

Aslan: "Well, there's nothing I can do about you."

As the boy said this, he put the little silver dragon, who still had a confused expression on his face and didn't know what happened, on the ground: "Come on~"

Then the next second, Aslan was surrounded by girls - he originally meant to let everyone go back to the room and wait for him to come. But after continuous buff upgrades, Aslan, who had obtained the blood of the Dragon God Bahamut, had his charm value greatly increased again, and when it was fully activated, the girls couldn't even hold back and attacked directly. Aslan was somewhat surprised and a little guilty -

Yes, there are people who have opened silver cards with him, but there are also people who have not opened silver cards with him. Didn’t you see the little silver dragon standing there with a confused look on his face?

How can he maintain his image as a gentle, neighborly big brother after such a shocking scene was seen by a child? !

Fortunately, there was another person present at this moment.

Seeing everyone happily running to Aslan, Lady Elizabeth blushed suddenly, turned around and ran away with Kanna, who was still confused.

"What's going on, mom? Why are you running away all of a sudden?" Kanna protested loudly, but soon she heard the lascivious sounds coming from behind her. She immediately understood what was going on.

"Why, why are there so many?!"

The little silver dragon thought for a moment. There were six maids around Aslan, and then there was the black magic girl and the curly-haired lady. Plus the shameless teacher Nana. That added up to nine people, almost over two digits. Obviously, there were none before, when they parted ways.

Although I know that with Brother Aslan's charm, it must be easy to seduce girls. But seducing so many girls in one go is a bit too much. Don't call me Little Silver Dragon anymore, just call me Little Green Dragon.

Thinking of this, Kanna opened her mouth and almost couldn't hold back her tears: "Wow, mom, brother Aslan doesn't want me anymore."

"That's not the case. Aslan... He can't help himself."

Although Lady Elizabeth was complaining about Aslan's unreliability in her heart, and like Connor, she was sad about Aslan's promiscuity, but when facing her daughter, she still had to speak well of Aslan.

But then, seeing that her daughter was looking at her expectantly, she stopped crying and didn't even say something harsh like "I will never be friends with him again", Lady Elizabeth couldn't help but talk about it.

"Can't help myself?" Kanna looked at Lady Elizabeth, as if expecting Lady Elizabeth to give her a reasonable reason so that she would [reluctantly] forgive Aslan.

"This child will definitely be eaten alive after she gets married." Lady Elizabeth couldn't help thinking so. She wanted to defend Aslan, but she reduced her intention a lot and just said casually:

"Ah, yes. After all, you see, he is now the commander of a large force. If he wants his subordinates to obey him, he has to have a good relationship with them. Basically... that's what he needs."

"Is that so? But..."

I always feel that the reason my mother gave has a lot of loopholes. If we really want to build a good relationship, then the elf princess should be the best at building a good relationship. But Beatrice did not participate.

Besides that, the ones who have the most dealings with Athrun-nii are his maids, right? Having a good relationship with maids won't help with diplomacy, right?

It always feels a bit strange...

Unlike the little silver dragon who looked puzzled and confused, Mrs. Silver Dragon blushed terribly and blamed Aslan in her heart: "Really, that guy didn't even look at the current situation and acted like this..."

What made Lady Silver Dragon even more unhappy was that Aslan was there, happily doing this and that with other girls, but she had to stay here in the cold kiln. She had to cover for him and comfort the little silver dragon.

What the hell is this guy trying to achieve?

Especially since her own daughter was not so good as to forgive him after she made up a few excuses. She even wanted to join in, which made Elizabeth secretly think that she should ask Aslan for some compensation in the future to make up for herself.

"Yes, yes, our Silver Dragon Clan, no, the entire Dragon Island, is also the strongest among the countries that have formed an alliance with Brother Aslan. So I must ask Brother Aslan to comfort me!"

Elizabeth almost vomited blood after hearing Kanna's serious words. After she recovered, she gritted her teeth and said:

"Well, yes, he really needs to be comforted," she said.

Chapter 35: Three Months of March, Strategy, War and Love

Later that day, after Aslan had dealt with the wonderful combination of his maid, his female classmate, and teacher Nana, he quietly ran to the little silver dragon's room and comforted the little silver dragon.

Then, taking advantage of the opportunity when the little silver dragon fell into a deep sleep, he comforted the big silver dragon. After settling the two, he opened the portal and went to Yelena's laboratory to learn about Yelena's latest research results. He then opened the portal to the Duchess of Eremeo and stabilized the rear. He went around like this before coming back. Teacher Maria looked at him and asked with concern:

"Has Aslan been working too hard lately?"

Aslan: "Ahahaha, no no, absolutely not. I can beat even ten of them!"

Of course, Aslan had a good sleep after that, and then he led his 13,000 elite infantry and 3,000 crusader knights to the northern city-state of Giant's Foot.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the war between the Crusaders and the Northern Territory City-State Alliance broke out. From the very beginning, both sides fought with all their might.

Aslan sent out four crusaders to attack in parallel, while the city-state alliance's countermeasures had also begun.

The first and second steps of their tactics were similar to what Aslan had expected: the citizen soldiers defended the city, and the navy was deployed in large numbers, intending to cut off the contact between the Crusaders and the southern continent.

However, the third step was beyond Aslan's expectations.

That's a mercenary.

The city-state alliance desperately spent money to hire large numbers of mercenaries and sent them to attack and even confront the main force of the Crusaders.

The Snowfield Bandits, who had once been both enemies and friends of the city-states, and a large number of barbarian tribes, were the first to respond to the call of the Northern City-State Alliance and took the money to fight the Crusaders.

Just like in China on Earth, the outlaws and escort agents have a mutually beneficial relationship. Before the Northern Territory War, the city-states had already had a mature plan to bribe the gangs to attack their business competitors.

As for the barbarian tribes in the Northern Territory, these barbarians with backward productivity but strong fighting power are the most popular guard mercenaries hired by the [civilized people] of the Northern Territory City-State Alliance. With just a little cloth, salt and ironware, these tall and strong barbarian warriors can be obedient. It is really a good deal.
