Chapter 499: Chapter 499: The War Has More Underlying Layers Than Imagined Chapter 499: Chapter 499: The War Has More Underlying Layers Than Imagined “What should we do next?
Their commander is dead, and their command center has been destroyed, but a large number of troops remain.
If we leave them unchecked, it will cause significant problems.”
Fang Jie responded, “What about the command center?
What’s the situation there?”
“The command center believes that we should split our forces in two, leaving so behind to deal with these remaining soldiers, whether by force or by recruitnt, and that we must retain sufficient manpower.
The other part should continue the attack.”
Fang Jie thought for a mont, noting that he had indeed gathered a considerable number of troops this ti.
However, they were not usable at the mountain pass.
If all were deployed to the opposite side, they could be utilized, but it would also seem sowhat cumberso.
Especially since the enemy’s forces were concentrated at the mountain pass, the troops at the rear of the island were probably already formidable.
If they were pressured too much, would that lead them to destroy the city prematurely?
This battle had already determined the victor, so the next step was to consider how to preserve the island as intact as possible.
Thinking of this, Fang Jie imdiately said, “Then let’s follow their plan, but the advancent must be fast.
Try to preserve as many of the rear cities as possible.”
“Lord, I can take care of this,”
Hillciss walked in.
He had co to see Fang Jie for this very matter and did not expect that it was already under discussion.
Hillciss did not have many n under his command, and he couldn’t just use mbers of the original royal family.
Using such personnel could easily cause significant issues, which Hillciss, as a forr king, understood very well.
Furthermore, although the royal family had many mbers, not many were truly scholarly.
No matter the family, once it beca large, most of its mbers tended to beco useless.
Without the motivation and goals for climbing higher, and without any threat, people easily turned out this way.
“Good, then it’s up to you.
This is a good chance to adapt to the situation on this island.
This is Hillciss’s territory after all, and Fang Jie doesn’t think Hillciss would ss things up here.
Back when Hillciss was the King of the New Moon Kingdom, everything he did was excellent.
If it weren’t for Fang Jie’s intervention, perhaps the New Moon Kingdom’s national power could have gradually caught up with the Blue Sand Kingdom.
After delegating these tasks and realizing he had nothing else imdiate, Fang Jie returned to his study to learn more about magic knowledge.
The war at the front, however, continued unabated and grew increasingly intense.
The army directly crossed the mountain pass, leaving half behind, and the remaining half directly attacked the rear.
There were no significant natural defenses in the area behind, so it was very easy to advance.
With the Elental Catapults and a large number of Griffin Knights, attacking beca even easier.
Unexpectedly, as later intelligence arrived, Fang Jie found that this push was not going as smoothly as anticipated.
“I didn’t expect it, they have so much depth in their war capabilities, much more than I imagined.”
Qin Lan also nodded gently, “Perhaps this is an issue with the rotating Island Masters.
The previous military force was not the full force at all.
It seems their gathered troops were not even half of the real force.”
Fang Jie was also reflective, realizing that if they had truly gathered all their military forces at the mountain pass for a single battle, they might not have been able to win.
Even with high productivity, it still needed ti and resources.
Now, Fang Jie discovered that the enemy’s Gold Level Troops, just from what has been discovered, already outnumbered theirs.
Griffin Knights were occasionally seen.
They seed scattered and easy to deal with, but if truly gathered, they wouldn’t be fewer than Fang Jie’s current Griffin Knights, perhaps even several tis more.
But when spread out, they were easy to handle.
As they advanced, each team they encountered was annihilated.
According to intelligence, every formidable team seed to be either mber guards of the big families or so kind of private troops of the nobles, all rather unconventional military forces.
These unconventional military forces inherently possessed combat power and treatnts surpassing normal armies.
At that mont, a soldier ca in.
“Lord, we just encountered two Legendary Level warriors at the front.”
Fang Jie and Qin Lan exchanged glances, surprised by the two additional warriors.
But with a total of four, this matched the strength of Kapala Island.
They just hadn’t expected them to be positioned at the rear.
“Where were they found?” Fang Jie asked directly.
“They were within the protection teams of the big families, one from the current Island Master’s family and another from the forr Island Master’s family,” the subordinate officer reported ticulously.
“It’s always these kinds of situations.
If they had gathered together from the start, dealing with them wouldn’t be easy.”
Fang Jie said it wouldn’t be easy, not that it couldn’t be done.
But if they really had gathered together, his overt strength truly wouldn’t match theirs.
At that point, it would have to be compensated with lives.
Perhaps, this war could be dragged out for a long ti, creating opportunities for other islands.
However, unexpectedly, they had all dispersed.
Fang Jie took the report.
In this encounter with the enemy’s Legendary fighters, the first was killed on the spot by two Legendary fighters together.
The current one was still in battle, but with two Legendary figures overseeing it.
It seed that it wouldn’t take long for this one to end up dead here too.
Their family mbers had all been captured in one go.
As the war progressed, these individuals were one by one captured, and the chances of escape beca fewer.
And now, even if they wanted to gather their forces, they were no longer able to.
Or even if they could, they certainly could not amass too many troops anymore.
Fang Jie, reviewing the report, said, “It seems their major families are essentially under our control now.
Then, the final step begins, to take complete control of Kapala Island.”
As Fang Jie issued the command, the mariti assault intensified.
The second batch of ships, already prepared, quietly bypassed the front of Kapala Island and headed north.
This area had more ports and more ships gathered.
Initially, as they were not involved in the war, everyone had overlooked this.
At this mont, a large amount of resources had begun to be gathered here, and quite a few ships had already secretly transported things from this place several tis.
Previously, Fang Jie had just ordered secret records to be kept and had not taken action.
But now, as things had progressed to this stage, inaction was no longer viable—they would start to flee massively soon, and Fang Jie did not want them to take all those resources.
