Wizard Lords: Building an Empire starts from the panel

Levi breathed a sigh of relief as Bloodclaw did not choose to return to the Orc Empire. Allowing Bloodclaw to snoop for information was a severe test for Bloodclaw's already limited loyalty.

If Bloodclaw ran away, Levi would suffer a great loss. Levi's true strength, base Xiaoyunshan Village, current location, and possible march route will all be exposed.

Fortunately, Bloodclaw was very clear about his situation. Bloodclaw knew that he had no way out as early as the first time he led Li Wei, not to mention that he made many suggestions later on, making him look like a hard-core bestiality.

"Lord Baron, I have heard some news. Our situation is not good." Bloodclaw looked like he was panting. He didn't know if he was pretending or if he really ran all the way back to deliver the news.

"Speak slowly." With that, Levi handed over a kettle.

Blood Claw took a deep gulp of salt water, and then said: "Lord Baron, the logistics manager on the front line of Evernight Forest-Kanse River had already made up his mind to deal with us when we attacked the food team last time.

Logistics manager Swain seconded a fully-staffed main corps that had retired from the front line to rest and replenish its troops. This full force army will be the main force attacking us. "

"Second another main force? The orcs really think highly of me, huh, be careful not to break your teeth!

Bloodclaw, is there anything to say about these densely packed strongholds themselves? "

"Lord Baron, these strongholds are the key to this battle!

Swain divided the area near the grain road into eleven relatively isolated areas, and the most critical passes and strongholds were heavily guarded.

Small strongholds such as observation posts must deliver messages on time every day. Once contact is lost, the orcs will send people to check.

We made a lot of noise before, so we suspect that our location and movement route have been basically exposed.

I also asked about a very critical piece of information. General Manager Swain is about to send more manpower to strongholds such as small observation posts to increase the frequency of communications. "

In addition, it is said that Swain has dispatched a large number of troops to start stationing at the passes and strongholds in our area, and their blockade has begun! "

"Bloodclaw, you did a good job this time. You can go down and rest for a while." Levi patted the other party's Bloodclaw on the shoulder, and then motioned for him to leave.

After thinking alone for a while, Li Wei called the guards waiting outside the camp.

"Go and call Beram, Siegfried, Villefort, and Archis!"

"This is the situation. What I mean is that the poisoned soldiers must still be escorted to the cave where they are hiding according to my previous promise, but what should I do next? Do you have any ideas?"

“Boss, that cave is about three to four days away from Xiaoyunshan Village via the fastest route.

However, there will be a ferry and a narrow valley in the middle. These two locations are very important. In the past, the nobles of the kingdom had set up tax checkpoints at these two locations.

I think if the orcs were not stupid, they would station troops in these two places.

But if we don’t go from these two places, it may take us six or seven days to return to Xiaoyunshan Village by taking other paths at the fastest, and we may not have enough food. "

"Let's take a detour and take a trail. As long as we don't lack too much food, we can reduce the daily ration appropriately, and we can even kill some weak war horses as an emergency."

"Lord Baron, I think we'd better not take the predetermined route completely. Our movement trajectory will be completely displayed in front of the orcs. If we go directly to the predetermined route, our intentions will be exposed."

"It makes sense, but there is also a problem. If we don't take the predetermined route planned in advance, we will have already detoured. If we make another detour then, it will be a bit dangerous. This issue is somewhat controversial, so let's put it aside for now. .”

"Boss, if the orcs really surround us like Bloodclaw said, I think their next step will definitely be to reduce our scope of activities.

If I were an orc, I would act steadily and try to narrow the isolation circle and thicken the surrounding troops. In this way, the further back we are, the slimmer our chances of escaping will be.

And if I were an orc, the trajectory of the troops you lead would be clearly visible. I would not bet on which way you would go next, as long as the front of you is firmly sealed.

The pursuing troops from behind blocked our retreat step by step, and finally trapped us in a small place and ate us with their absolute strength advantage.

So I think the best solution is to get out of the encirclement as soon as possible, and you can put everything else aside first. "

“Siegfried, I don’t think this is okay.

If we just take the shortest path directly, we will face a lot of difficulties passing both passes. Once our troops are too damaged and unable to pose a sufficient threat to the orcs' food routes, then what is the point of our going to the Evernight Forest? It was completely lost, and the mission really failed. Bellam immediately retorted.

At this time, Villefort couldn't help but said: "Doesn't Lord Baron have a terrifying giant whale of the Sunshine level? I think as long as there is this terrifying contracted monster, the two levels should be easily broken, right?"

"Fat Zi must not take action until the last moment. In the eyes of the orcs, we are just insignificant diseases. Once Fat Zi's existence is exposed, I am worried that the orcs will pay for a strong man from the holy realm to come over.

In particular, Fat Zi's size is so big that it is comparable to an ordinary holy beast. It will definitely attract the attention of the orcs. We are definitely not someone we can offend against the strong men of the Holy Realm. The risk is too great. "

For a moment, the tent fell into silence, and Li Wei and his party seemed to have become fish in a net, unable to escape no matter what.

"Yaqis, use this charcoal pen to simply mark our marching route on the small road, the marching route on the nearest main road, and some nearby dangerous places where troops may be stationed."

Following Levi's instructions, Achis quickly drew a few simple strokes on the map. The route first went south in a crooked way, and then went east through a zigzag route.

Subsequently, some intersections, ferries, canyons, and mountain passes on important traffic routes were marked one by one.

Levi looked at the map and fell into deep thought again. Several people around him also watched quietly, not daring to make a sound.

"I have made up my mind. It is too dangerous to take the nearest road. We should take a slightly detoured path. Everyone has a good rest tonight. After sending the poisoned soldiers to the cave tomorrow, we must speed up the march!"

"Yes!" Everyone responded in unison.
