When they heard that Vared and Orah, these two may be the most warlike generals in the vampire group today, they all sighed that this war was not easy to fight. The other two counts, Nephrata and Kodems, naturally did not dare to say anything else. Indeed, 30,000 dwarf troops, and the most basic dwarf infantry, a unit composed of Thunderbolters and Heavy Crossbowmen.

If this idea is placed on the plain, it will be nothing. Once the undead army is rushed, it will be gone. Unfortunately, this is a mountainous area. And the dwarves do not seem to have a battle with the undead army.

From August to September, the undead troops fought several battles one after another, but they won... but dozens of people were killed, nearly a hundred enemies were killed, and thirty homemade melee guns were seized... This kind of battle is a bit unpredictable.

Speaking of which, before that, the southern military region where Valed was first served was also called mountains. But in fact, it should be characterized as a plateau. Although it is high in altitude and colder in climate, the terrain is still flat. From here, the terrain in the southern part of the Endless Mountains is completely different.

The rugged mountains and complex terrain all made Vared, who wanted to find a relatively flat place for a decisive battle, feel very disappointed. In addition, this area also has a huge underground tunnel network dug by dwarves, and the dwarves run around like mice with the help of these tunnel networks. All of this constitutes the most perfect, of course, for the vampires in Sylvania, it can be called a guerrilla terrain that is a nightmare.

As long as they pay a little black gunpowder, they can cause a mountain collapse or destroy an already unstable road, causing heavy losses to the undead troops and difficult to move forward.

No one knows which direction they will emerge from, drilling out of the tunnels covered with rocks or weeds. Use smoothbore guns, mortars and grenades that have been loaded, to attack the undead forces.

They immediately evacuated and returned to the tunnel. When the undead troops reacted and rushed over, the dwarf soldiers had already retreated.

Chase along the tunnel?

What a joke, this tunnel was dug out by the dwarves over thousands of years. It is as well-connected as a maze. These dwarves are very familiar with this, so naturally they don’t have to be afraid. But what can the undead do? The huge network of underground tunnels, even if all the millions of troops brought by Vared were added, may not be enough to fill one percent. How to chase? How to check? It can even be said that when you arrive in that kind of place, the possibility of ambushing and surprise attacks is even greater. If you are not careful, it is not impossible to wipe out the troops you pursue.

In fact, during the march, there were indeed several vampire officers who were furiously chasing the dwarfs in the face of the surprise attack. Then...

Then there was nothing. The bodies on their different bodies and heads were found today. Looking at the scars on their bodies, you can tell how cruel they had received before they died. The undead troops under their command must have been wiped out - they were nearly 3,000 fully armed undead soldiers!

"As long as the officers don't lose their minds, they are safe under the garrison of the undead. As long as they don't pursue the enemy, nothing will happen."

Vared had no good idea for such a thing, so he could only use this method to ask the vampire officers to try their best to restrain themselves. He also issued it in the situation of formal military orders.

In short, all this made Sylvania's army difficult to move forward. In the mountainous area south of the Endless Mountains, Vared encountered a very rare dilemma in his life. Millions of troops were trapped here, and their formation could not be unfolded, and they would be ambushed by dwarf troops from time to time.

Because of the destruction of roads, roads blocked by landslides or roads damaged by landslides, in addition to this, we must also beware of the opponent's attack. The undead advances extremely slowly. In more than a month, the undead troops, which were originally known for their fast maneuvers, only walked more than 150 kilometers, and only walked about five kilometers a day a day. They were ridiculed by the dwarves, Sigma Empire and other human forces as "a turtle-like pace."

"The situation is very bad now." Vared sighed: "In fact, before this, we built a large number of mountain fortresses. We originally wanted the Yin* dwarf troops to take the initiative to attack. However, there was a certain deviation in this plan. I have a lot of responsibility for not being able to come up with an effective solution as soon as possible."

"Don't say that, Duke. These problems are something we all did not expect. In addition, such a little setback and loss would be much better than using mountain fortresses to fight the dwarves to death. If we acted according to the original war plan specified by the Chaos Dwarves, then the main force was bound to the south of the Dwarves' Kingdom, which was bound to the south, would definitely not be able to withstand the attacks of the Chaos Dwarves. After all, the Chaos Dwarves' mountain combat capability is much stronger than ours. Under the same conditions, they can definitely do better than us."

After Valed said this, Olach immediately defended him. This made Valed feel a little better...at least on the surface, that's right.

"So, in fact." After that, Vared regained his absolute superiority of feeling good: "In fact, during this period, I also thought of some ways to deal with the opponent's attack tactics. Although it was a bit late, it was better than doing nothing."

"Is that true?" Orah was a little moved: "If that is the case, it would be great."

"First of all, for those tunnel entrances and exits that have been discovered, we can either use gunpowder to blow it up and seal it, or send some troops to guard it. In short, we cannot continue to let the dwarves use these tunnels.

After this, we will form a professional engineering corps. We will extract some of the worker ants that originally belonged to the baggage troop and use them in a concentrated manner to eliminate road obstacles.

Of course, these mountain roads are not actually suitable for advancement and marching. This is certain. So we should transport more worker ants from the rear, and while resting the existing roads, we can use modern road construction technology to build stone paving roads that are more suitable for the army to march."

"This... seems to require an additional worker ant troops. Will it affect the construction of the territory?" Hearing Vared say this, Nevrata asked: "Now, we have built deep-water ports in the southern coastal areas, as well as building, maintaining arsenal production, and renovating old cities and building infrastructure. These all require the participation of a large number of worker ants. If worker ants are drawn because of the construction of roads, it will cause delays in the above-mentioned projects."

"There is indeed this problem-but, now for Silvania, the most important thing is the war with the dwarf kingdom. It is acceptable to delay the implementation of some projects and cause certain losses - in addition, some engineering things can be completed without using worker ants.

Although there are not many residents in Sylvania, there are nearly 30 million households. Because of the rising living standards and the improvement of organizational level in recent times, their sense of identity with the Sylvania government is quite good. So I think some people can be organized to carry out paid labor during the slack season to fill the problem of insufficient labor. Some daily necessities production factories can also hire some human beings as workers."

"This may increase production costs. After all, human workers have to pay wages. The newly recruited workers are not able to start production as soon as possible like worker ants. They also need to be taught, so that the efficiency will not be very high... And compared to the meticulous and almost impossible to make mistakes, human workers will cause higher waste rates and product quality will also decrease..."

When Nephrata heard what Valed said, he was a little dissatisfied with the labor cost of free production through the undead workers was zero, and the efficiency and product quality were very high. However, Valed asked her to change to some inefficient, incompetent and need to spend money. This was something she could not accept anyway.

By the way, this countess who is good at doing business and making money and has excellent administrative abilities was appointed by Vared as Chief Administrative Officer of Sylvania and also serves as the head of business and finance officer.

"This is indeed worth considering, but I have said before that our first priority now is the war with the dwarves. In order to win this war, any sacrifice is worth it, including the efficiency and cost of those commodity factories."

Hearing Vared say this, Nephrata didn't dare to say anything more even though he was dissatisfied with it.

Seeing her appearance, Valed thought for a while, but still felt that she could not just make her feel like she was confused, so she explained a few more words:
Chapter completed!
