Most of the leaders of other tribes did not know that Winterhold would cooperate with the Conquest of Order to attack Stone Pillar Town, and did not expect that Trim would have made his own money, almost dispatched out of the nest, even the Colossus of Ice Fortress was sent out.

The fortifications of Shizhu Town are indeed strong, but they cannot stop the giant ice barrier and the large group of white dragons attacking from the air. How should this battle be fought?

Everyone has no idea.

Elder Sigmund and the brothers and sisters of the Logan family were among the few people present who could still hold their breath.

In fact, they had long learned from Qiao An's letter that Trim was likely to take the Ice Barrier Colossus to participate in this war, but for the sake of stability of the military, they did not disclose it to the outside world.

This Asa army headed by Shizhu Town is actually just a loose tribal alliance. Other tribal leaders, large and small, have their own minds and their will to fight is not as firm as the members of the Walsung family. Knowing the enemy's strong lineup, some small tribes probably won't participate in this joint operation.

The problem of unbalanced hearts has been plagued the aborigines of the New World for many years.

Many indigenous people from small tribes do not have the so-called "national consciousness". In their eyes, clan is the only criterion for dividing distant and close relatives. In their opinion, the Asa people of other clans are not compatriots, and there is no essential difference from foreigners. , Feuds and melee between tribes are commonplace.

The indigenous peoples of the New World cannot be recognized in the international community, and they are not recognized by the colonists as a "nation-state" in the modern sense. The prejudice from the "civilized world" is certainly the main factor, but the indigenous people themselves are not united and their vision is narrowed. Restricted by the traditional clan and tribal traditions, the general lack of national consciousness is also an unavoidable objective factor.

The younger generation of Asa people represented by Haakang and Slude has the deepest impression after leaving the country that people in the Far East generally have a strong sense of national state, and this is the spiritual power that is indispensable for the creation of a modern country.

Haakon and Slude also wanted to introduce this concept into their own people, but the formation of new ideas could not be achieved overnight, and they needed to be gradually cultivated with efficient propaganda and education methods.

The indigenous tribes of the New World do not currently have these conditions. They can only force the loose tribal alliance to unite through unanimous external warfare, and establish a national consensus in fighting side by side.

In fact, in recent years, the formation of the tribal alliance with Stone Pillar Town as the core is due to the cohesion provided by the oppression of the colonists, and the joint invasion of the Conquering Clan and Winterhold will also be a way to promote the New World. Indigenous people accelerate the awakening of national consciousness.

However, the impact caused by external forces is too violent. If this wave of too harsh tests cannot be withstood, this alliance with Shizhu Town as its core will be crushed, and the aborigines of the New World will be transformed from a clan tribe to a modern nation-state. It will be forced to interrupt, and the various tribes will disintegrate into a loose sand again. I don't know how long they will sink in the darkness or whether there will be a day when they unite again.

Slude is soberly aware of the seriousness of the situation, and has prepared himself for the battle that will determine the fate of the Walsung family and all the indigenous people of the Asa people in the New World. He carefully compares the intelligence collected by the giant eagle in the south and the west. A conclusion was drawn afterwards.

"The Cultist Corps led by Laval the Butcher is closer to us, while the Winterhold Army is farther away. If both sides continue the current marching speed, then when the Laval Corps arrives outside the town, the Winterhold Corps will at least return It takes two to three hours to get out of town."

"Laval is a famous general in Midgard's colony. He should be very clear that it is impossible to capture the heavily fortified Shizhu Town with the cult weapon in his own hands. It is more reasonable to establish a position outside the town and wait patiently. The allies of Winterhold came to meet up."

"After the two corps rendezvous, Laval will most likely let Trim send the White Dragon Guards to seize the air supremacy. The Ice Base Colossus will take the lead and break through our defense line with the colossus’s powerful attack capability. The rest of the ground troops will rely on the Ice Base Colossus. Push forward steadily."

"Slud, your analysis is very reasonable. The question is how should we respond?" Someone asked at the meeting.

"If this battle is fought according to the enemy's pace, frankly speaking, Shizhu Town may not be able to defend." Slude made no secret of his own dangerous situation, calmly said: "In order to avoid falling into a passive situation, we must grab Before the two enemy units joined together, they took the initiative to attack the Laval Corps with lightning speed, and then turned around to clean up the Winterhold Corps."

As soon as the voice fell, there was a tumult in the hall, and most tribal leaders shook their heads repeatedly to oppose Slud's radical war plan.

"Slud, give up the position and take the initiative. Wouldn't it be too risky to do so?" Even Elder Siegmund didn't think this was a good idea. "We spent a lot of effort to build a defensive position. Furnishings?"

"Elder, the greatest value of a position is not in defense, but in making the enemy think that we will only passively defend."

Slaughter patiently elaborated on his combat thinking.

"Compared with the Laval Corps, the biggest advantage of our army is the air force and the maneuverability of everyone who is proficient in riding and shooting. First, the Wing Cavalry and the Great Eagle Wing are sent to focus on bombing the enemy's hanging trees, blood-sucking roots and living catapults. , The ground troops cooperated with the air force to launch a surprise attack. The Knights of Armor rushed forward, and the grenadiers and Lancers followed up with the mechanical armour, relying on powerful grenadiers, magic grenade and'wind gun' within two hours. It is not impossible to defeat the enemy."

It seemed that it was infected by the self-confidence revealed by Slude's words, the discussion in the venue subsided, and people began to seriously consider the feasibility of this combat plan.

"Slud, don't forget that there are still many white dragons in Winterhold. If a large group of white dragons come to support Laval's troops, do you still have the confidence to control the air?" Hakon asked his sister in a low voice.

"I dare not say that I have full confidence, there is still 60 to 70%!" Slude further analyzed, "Our army has two'Gust' class magic airships, each airship is equipped with 32 aviation cannons. The firepower is fierce enough to suppress the group of dragons, plus two great eagle wing and twenty winged cavalry, the victory against the White Dragon Guard of Winterhold is great."

Hearing what she said, most tribal leaders changed their positions and supported the initiative.

Elder Siegmund noticed the change in the atmosphere in the venue, and looked at Slude with a relieved smile.

"Girl, it seems that you have learned a lot of real skills in the military academy in the Far East in the past two years. In the future, we will have a military adviser in Shizhu Town!"
