"Hundreds of thousands of fugitives can only go to the empty grassland. This involves the issue of the pursuers' fighting will."

Meng Chao said, "Earlier in the camp, the Big Horn officer was right. Fugitives are not the main problem of the Bloodhoof clan. No matter how angry the chiefs and priests are, as long as there is still a shred of reason left, it will be impossible.

They came out in full force to hunt down the fugitives."

"Why?"

Ice Storm asked, "The fugitives overthrew the entire Blackhorn City and made the Bloodhoof clan lose face!"

"A qualified commander will not rashly start a war out of anger."

Meng Chao said, "I believe that the Bloodhoof clan, which has a profound foundation, will always have a few qualified commanders.

"Yes, the serial explosions and theft of the temple in Black Horn City did indeed cause the Bloodhoof clan to lose face. But just to save face, the entire army was dispatched and dispersed into the endless hollow grassland to hunt down a group of people.

Dirty, mean, hiding rat?

"So, what should we do about the battle for supreme power between the Bloodhoof Clan and the Golden Clan?

"Except for Blackhorn City and Skyfall Grassland, in the rest of the Bloodhoof Clan's territory, who is going to deter and suppress the rat people who are ready to move?

"Sending troops north to launch the 'Battle of Glory' towards the Land of Holy Light, will the Bloodhoof clan still participate?

"For the chiefs and priests who control the Bloodhoof clan, the primary issue at this moment is not revenge, but cleaning up the mess, maintaining order, and ensuring that the Bloodhoof army is still firmly united and ready to go into battle at any time.

army, and this army still has sufficient food, weapons and various war resources.

"As for the rat servants and slave laborers, there are plenty of them all over the mountains and plains. Just recruit them again.

"The re-recruited rat people have not experienced the earth-shaking shock of Black Horn City, and still maintain some reverence for the Bloodhoof warriors from the depths of their bones. They are easier to control and exploit, and they are better cannon fodder.

"As for the fugitives who rushed out of Black Horn City, even if we catch up and catch them, what happens next?

"If they are reorganized into slaves or cannon fodder units, the fire of resistance will have been ignited in their hearts. They will not be able to fully obey the orders of the Bloodhoof warriors. They will be disobedient, passive and even sabotage, and this will continue to happen. Moreover, this

The fire of group resistance will continue to spread like a plague, 'contaminating' the rat people who come from the local area and have not witnessed the tragedy of Black Point City with their own eyes. Isn't this worth the loss?

"Or, kill them all?

"This approach is of course very relieving, but just relieving the qi cannot solve the problem of the Bloodhoof clan's lack of manpower and material resources. It also wastes a lot of war resources - to put it harshly, let alone arresting the fanatical and unruly people who are willing to do so at any time.

A large number of people perished together. Even if a large army came out to catch hundreds of thousands of pigs on the grassland, the war resources needed to be invested would be astronomical! Now that the situation is so dire, the bosses of the Bloodhoof clan may do something

Is this a loss-making business where you can only get out but not get in?"

Whether in the Land of Holy Light or Turanze, when Ice Storm heard people talking about war, they were full of heroic words such as "for the glory of the true God, for the glory of the ancestors, and for absolute justice."

There are few people like Meng Chao who regard war as a business and calculate the gains and losses.

She couldn't help but feel refreshed.

"However, a large number of ancient treasures have been stolen from the major temples in Black Corner City. Don't the nobles in the city not want to recover these things?" Ice Storm thought for a while and asked again.

"To recover the ancient treasure, we will not rely on a large but relatively clumsy army, but on an elite squad composed of strong men."

Meng Chao said, "So, according to my speculation, as long as the fugitives are walking from Xiankong Grassland, there will definitely not be too many pursuers.

"Of course, the first wave of pursuers will definitely come fiercely, and they will not show mercy after catching the fugitives, and will definitely use the most cruel means to kill them as a warning to others.

"But as long as the fugitives can withstand the first wave of pursuit, they have great hope of surviving - for the time being."

"Where is War Drum Forest?"

Ice Storm said, "If the main force breaks out from the War Drum Forest, what difference will it make?"

"The difference is that the War Drum Forest is an important granary of the Bloodhoof clan, storing countless datura fruits. Today, when the datura trees no longer bear fruit and there are fewer grain reserves, these strategic materials are enough.

Let any commander in chief devote all his troops."

Meng Chao said, "If hundreds of thousands or even more escapees go to the War Drum Forest, the commanders in Black Horn City will have to consider the possibility that the Big Horn Legion will try to conquer the War Drum City and seize important granaries.

"When the granaries in Black Corner City suffered heavy losses and a large amount of food was robbed and burned, no matter how high the cost, they could only bite the bullet and come out in full force.

"In the War Drum Forest, the defenders with no way to retreat faced the rat warriors whose number was more than a hundred times their own. They could only inspire the glory and bloodiness of the bleeding hoof warriors and fight the rat warriors to the end until they reached the Black Corner City.

reinforcements have arrived.

"You should know better than me how terrible it is when a clan warrior becomes truly angry.

"A serious Bloodhoof army cannot compete with a hastily assembled army!"

Ice Storm nodded thoughtfully, then hesitantly said: "But, you just said you smelled the strange fragrance coming from the depths of the War Drum Forest..."

"That's right."

Meng Chao smiled slightly, "I'm just saying that it's impossible for hundreds of thousands of troops to break out from the War Drum Forest. Such a movement would only attract the main force of the Bloodhoof army, hurting both sides, and giving the Golden Clan an advantage in vain.

"However, if there are only a few dozen, or at most a few hundred, temple thieves carrying ancient treasures, and they infiltrate into the depths of the War Drum Forest without anyone noticing, it is still possible to break through the defense line.

"After all, as I said just now, the defenders who have been divided repeatedly are stretched thin, and the defense line must be riddled with holes and loopholes everywhere.

"Not to mention, if I were the commander-in-chief of the Great Horned Legion, I would have carried out a lot of infiltration and transformation work deep in the War Drum Forest to ensure that there were a large number of the Great Horned Rat God among the rat militia soldiers and slave workers in the War Drum Forest.

True believer.

"With the cooperation of these believers, there are hundreds of thousands of people. It is not an impossible task to secretly transport dozens or hundreds of people, right?"

When Ice Storm heard this, he finally understood.

"So, these people in front of us, us, and the hundreds of thousands of rat people who have escaped from Xiankong Grassland are all bait!"

Ice Storm said, "It's just like the blind trick played in Black Horn City, which made all the Bloodhoof warriors stare at the Kongkong Grassland with their angry eyes, the real big fish - those gods who carry ancient treasures.

Temple thieves can swagger through the War Drum Forest and walk away!"

"Yes, this is the purpose on the one hand, and on the other hand, it also has the benefit of allowing a large number of escapees to escape from the Xingkong Grassland."

Meng Chao said, "Do you still remember what the big-horned officer said? He said that this escape is 'the ultimate test given by the big-horned rat god to all the rat people. Only those who pass the test can get the protection and blessings of the rat god.'"

I think, in a sense, this is true."

"Trial?" Ice Storm muttered.

"That's right, the bigger the army, the better. Especially in Turanze, the communication methods are so backward, the logistics supply system is huge and clumsy, and the high-level orcs themselves are relatively free and unruly.

Under such circumstances, an army that is too large in number will only be crushed by its own weight like a giant beast that grows infinitely.

"Even with the treasures and secrets left by the ancient Turan people, the Turan army reaching millions of people is already the limit. However, due to the crazy reproduction in the past fifty years, the total number of soldiers of the major clans has

, but it is several times, even ten times, millions!

"This is why all the major clans have to play the 'Game of the Brave' and the 'Five Clans Confrontation'.

"It is equivalent to conducting an internal 'elimination competition' before starting a full-scale war with the Land of Holy Light. Through the survival of the fittest, we will select the elite soldiers and generals who are truly qualified to enjoy the war resources.

"The Grand Horn Legion faces the same problem.

"It's even more serious.

"After all, the war resources that the Great Horn Legion can control are far more scarce than those of the major clans.

"And the number of soldiers willing to join the Great Horn Legion is more than ten times that of the clan warriors.

"The Big Horn Legion relies on the great righteousness of 'The Great Horned Rat God comes to save all the rat people' to gather people's hearts, but it is impossible to reject all the rat warriors who are full of resistance and enthusiasm for fighting.

"The most critical thing is that the Great Horn Legion lacks time to train these rat people who are full of passion but lack combat skills into real warriors.

"If we say that before Black Horn City was turned upside down, the Big Horn Legion was still hiding in the darkness and could develop quietly.

"Then, after setting off such a destructive storm, how could the existence of the Great Horn Legion be hidden from the eyes of the other four major clans?

"I think even the commander-in-chief of the Big Horn Legion has no extravagant hope of continuing to hide, so even grassroots warriors like Round Bone Stick can talk about the secrets of the Big Horn Legion without restraint.

"From the moment when the series of big explosions occurred in Noire City, the Great Horn Legion soared into the sky, stirred up wind and thunder, swept across the entire Turanze, and set foot on the summit of glory.

“Or it may spin up, spin out, and be completely destroyed.

"You can choose between these two paths.

"Tell me, at such a life-and-death moment, do the Big Horn Legion want to accept hundreds of thousands of mouths crying for food, or do they want to fight thirty to fifty thousand people out of the mountains of corpses and seas of blood, honing their tenacity and tyrannical combat power in the moment of life and death?
