Capítulo 1969: Chapter 922: Return to Klonte_3
For the citizens of Tavelan City, this was a good thing.
The gangs and Thief Guilds that were once countless in the city have all vanished, and even the street pickpockets have decreased significantly.
This further solidified their belief that the Lord of Thieves, Mask, was dead.
Even though the entire city had just undergone the baptism of war, it still blossod with vibrant vitality.
As the Felen Allied Forces steadily advanced on the frontline, these Seth rchants followed closely behind; war signifies business opportunities, especially with a considerable number of free-acting rcenaries.
But they soon discovered that General Gaven was not only a genius commander but also equally adept at business, extending his influence into the rcenaries ahead of them.
You could see war chariots laden with goods everywhere.
There were both large, fixed supply depots.
And small, constantly moving freight points.
As the Tukan split up for large-scale plundering, these rcenaries, skilled in small-scale combat, found their usefulness.
Setting traps and waiting for Tukan to deliver themselves.
Or multiple rcenary groups cooperating to eliminate Tukan far from their main army.
Or hunting down those isolated Tukan.
Although the achievents of individual rcenaries or even rcenary groups seem minor compared to the still 150,000-strong Tukan Army.
The sheer number of rcenaries spread across the Cesk Plains, continuously creating harm and trouble for Tukan.
Within days, the Tukan Army felt the pain, forcing them to revise their tactics again.
Plundering was still needed, as it was the price for losing their logistics.
But they no longer acted in small groups; each plundering army had to maintain at least a thousand n, while several teams coordinated operations, offering mutual support.
Although this reduced the risk of targeting by rcenaries.
The efficiency of looting significantly decreased, only enough to maintain the basic supply of the entire army, with no surplus, making life very tough.
After retreating to the heart of the Cesk Plains, Pheasant City, they stopped retreating and camped there, showing a posture of holding their ground.
King Yasan, leading the Felen Allied Forces, chose to press firmly and steadily, slowly compressing Tukan’s survival space.
In the past two months, Gaven’s maneuver-and-ambush strategy in The Eastern Desolation had accumulated significant advantages that they now needed to further amplify, exploiting Tukan’s logistical vulnerabilities to wear them down.
Faith indeed grants a person extraordinary tenacity in Will, but it doesn’t fill their stomach nor solve the hunger of so many.
Even if Tukan did not break down from hunger, their combat effectiveness would sharply diminish.
King Yasan would never choose a radical frontal battle when a steadier thod could achieve victory in the fight.
After all, Tukan’s combat effectiveness was evident, especially those thousands of Killing Vajra Lamas turning into Killing Vajra should not be underestimated.
Scenes of human warriors withstanding a Giant’s furious bombardnt, fighting fiercely.
Only appear in films or gas, not in reality, where large body types represent a trendous advantage.
What happens when an ordinary person is trampled by an elephant needs no elaboration.
And a regular elephant is rely a pet before a Giant, capable of being kicked away.
There are only three thods of fighting against those enormous beings.
One can use a nimble body type to evade all attacks.
Or find a way to match the opposing body type, or at least narrow the difference, reducing overbearing dominance.
Or use powerful Remote Attack to slay them at a distance, leaving no chance for close-quarters.
This is not an easy task; it’s due to large body size, which ans thick skin, neural defense, and unmatched resilience.
The cart crossbows, capable of penetrating normal people, would be halted by their sturdy skin and muscle layers; Magic would likewise.
Rember, these Killing Vajra are not solely reliant on physical combat; they are special Professionals with various unique skills.
In large-scale field battles, they can unleash their terrifying combat power, effortlessly taking out soldiers.
Tukan clearly comprehended their strengths, dispatching only those highly mobile cavalry archers, keeping Killing Vajra Lamas around the main army, giving no chance for Felen Allied Forces to target them individually.
And Gaven, the Chief Quartermaster of the Felen Allied Forces, and Tavelan City’s Defense General, neither followed behind the Felen Allied Forces to babysit them nor stayed in Tavelan City for security; instead, he shifted most attention to Klonte.
This was another advantage of having many Lady Strategy dedicated sacrifices; they were versatile warriors capable of commanding, leading charges, and managing logistics.
Gaven needed to set up the frawork, leaving execution to them; he simply occasionally inspected to ensure broad coherence.
When Gaven arrived at Klonte again, it had transford into another scene.
The continuous tents of the Laiserman had disappeared; after Tukan crossed the lake and the Totem Dreamscape opened, the Laiserman responded by returning to their holand.
Normally, the land here was far more fertile than the Laiserman Kingdom, better suited for human life.
But regardless, neither the Laiserman Witch nor the Laiserman showed lingering attachnt, discarding it without hesitation.
If Gaven had arrived in The Eastern Desolation initially, he would definitely have struggled to comprehend this.
But having interacted deeply with the Laiserman, Gaven understood sowhat.
This wasn’t re holand loyalty but that the Laiserman and the Laiserman Witch were tightly bonded to that land.
Only on that land were they uniquely Laiserman; away from it, within generations, they’d gradually beco ordinary people.
This isn’t exclusive to Laiserman; for example, the situation is more severe for the Half-Giant race, Golia.
Gaven made no judgnts, rely respecting their living customs.
