“Are you trying to say that Beamon had a sense of crisis awareness long before the Heigar War a thousand years ago, which allowed them to dare to disperse their already limited forces to control such a vast territory?” Queen Jiabao was noticing this issue for the first time, and now reminded by Rommel, she carefully pondered and indeed tasted an unusual flavor – Beamon was so frightened.
“Your Majesty, not to mention the Beamon population after the Heigar War, but even the Beamon now gradually recovering their vitality only has a population of six million. Such a small population base would undoubtedly be clenched into a fist if in another country instead of, like the current Beamon, primarily occupying a vast area as city-states.” Rommel nodded: “Looking back, a thousand years ago when Beamon retreated to the Donau Wasteland, they could have withdrawn to the Northern WasteLand and used the turbulent waters of the Sanggan River as a natural barrier to protect themselves. But they didn’t do so, and that is a move worth pondering!”
“Well, assuming what you say is right, Beamon has a crisis awareness! But what does that have to do with our Demon Clan’s strategic plan? How does it relate to you rating our strategic plan eighty out of a hundred instead of full marks? Even if the Holy War starts and Beamon truly retreats to the mountains, swamps, and deserts, we demons don’t need to expend efforts to exterminate them, we just need to trap them.” Your Majesty Jiabao chuckled gently: “We demons only want the Donau Wasteland as a logistics base for accumulating strategic materials. Could the Beamon who escape into the deep mountains still pose a threat to us? With their small forces? Do they dare?”
“As I said earlier, there are benefits to Beamon occupying such a large territory! First, they have Dorott, a natural choke point, and second, they have the Sanggan River, two major natural barriers.” Rommel smiled: “Now the Demon Clan has come to the Primitive Ancient Origin through the ‘Space-Time Rift’, Beamon has already voluntarily given up one natural barrier, but they will never give up the second, Sanggan River! Without taking the Northern WasteLand, your logistics base won’t be stable, I’m afraid by then you’ll be deeply entrenched in a stalemate across the river with Beamon, plus Yif Castle at Dorott Pass is guarded by humans, I worry you’ll have huge forces but can only divide them, stuck in the Southern Wasteland unable to move! That’s why I gave the Demon Clan’s strategic plan eighty out of a hundred instead of full marks!”
“How could that be possible?” Queen Jiabao laughed softly: “Can Beamon’s meager forces really block our demon army’s march to control the Donau Wasteland? On what grounds? Just Smey? Admittedly our air force gains no advantage against Swan Beamon, but even sacrificing lives, we can breach the Sanggan River to reach the Northern WasteLand. Beamon’s ground troops lack the overwhelming anti-air power of Smey, right? Humans are even easier to solve, we have countless air forces, can a small Dorott Pass stop us? Remember, the only human air force is Dragon Knight with a few Paladins!”
Rommel shook his head with a wry smile and said nothing more.
“Don’t you think you’re overestimating Beamon? Yes, some Beamon warriors are incredibly strong, worth a hundred men! But there are very few of those elite Beamon warriors. Of the current six million Beamons, over half are short, weak, useless duds not even 1.3 meters tall!” Queen Jiabao noticed the ‘Foxfire’ disagreement: “Beautiful minister, the saying ‘Beamon warriors are the best under heaven’ refers to the era of the Bimon Empire, not the current Bimon Army!”
“Beamon is a nation that historically brought the art of war to its peak, what’s more terrifying is, despite being comprised of multiple ethnicities, they have unimaginable cohesion and advanced civilization; they are skilled in destruction and equally skilled in construction. Such a country, once it gives rise to a great leader, can easily rise again!” Rommel sighed: “If I were to devise a plan, it would be to break through from the humans, not Beamon! The ‘Space-Time Rift’ on the Kalimdo Plains is vast enough allowing the army to wield in, there are wide fields, most suitable to exploit the demons’ superior forces.”
“Aegean humans are too powerful, if we engage them too early, our Demon Clan’s losses will be significant.” Queen Jiabao was genuinely doubtful of this Mulan beauty’s tactics, why ignore lesser obstacles for tougher nuts to crack? Were the accumulated military accomplishments of this one false?
Unbeknownst to Jiabao, Rommel also felt disdain towards the Demon Clan’s high command’s strategic vision.
In his view, this so-called strategic plan of the Demon Clan was virtually a zero!
Sacrificing the essentials for the trivial!
Counterintuitively abandoning the Aegean Hinterland where they could expand their forces greatly, to first clash with the short-handed Beamon — how foolish and petty! Rommel sneered inwardly, Aegean humans differ from the self-respecting Beamon, if advancing earlier, hitting with one hand while pulling with the other, get rid of one or two human kingdoms not yet consolidated into a fist, which remaining petty kingdoms would dare to send troops?
Moreover, the demons intend to invade Aegean, a future battle with the humans is inevitable! Do they think after sweeping through the Primitive Ancient Origin, Aegean humans will be any less strong? Now having this valuable buffer time, once the various human kingdoms unite to form a coalition, the demons will only end up swallowing their bitter fruit!
