Chapter 704: Chapter 497, Undead Siege_3
Everyone was quietly contemplating the map.
Meatfist, a robustly built man, was the first to speak, “Our advantage is great, there’s no need to think too much. Just charge straight in. Take over five border strongholds tonight, then use these as a basis to push further into their territory.”
The strengths and weaknesses of the two sides are indeed very obvious.
With the addition of two more orange heroes, this battle basically has no suspense.
Spencer, who was at the side, nodded in agreement, then added,
“We outnumber them, so it wouldn’t be beneficial to target just one stronghold. We also have to be wary of reinforcements from other border strongholds.”
He pointed to the map and suggested, “I propose splitting our forces to distract the other strongholds. The main force shall attack the one in the middle and we’ll take it down. In the night, we’ll envelop the other strongholds to swiftly take down the outermost five.”
Everyone stared at the map, analyzing Spencer’s plan.
At the same time, they were figuring out the feasibility of this plan in their minds.

Overwhelming the enemy with sheer numbers is a tactic the Undead Clan excels at!
The dwarves are proud of their machinery, but against so many of us, it’ll surely be a futile effort.
In no time, Black Sword also agreed, “This plan is feasible, we have ample information on the dwarves, a direct strike will suffice.”
“It’s a good plan.” Dong Jiayue stood up, glanced around and asked, “Does anyone else have any other opinions.”
Spread the forces first, then mount an offensive with the main force.
“No objections!”
“Agreed!”
“Sounds good!”
Seeing everyone agree, Dong Jiayue continued, “Alright, tonight, I and Spencer will lead the main troops in the attack. The remaining commanders, each of you will lead troops to distract the other strongholds. The remaining transmigrators will assist each commander.”
“Yes!”
Everyone responded simultaneously.
The main role of the transmigrators was to act as communicators.
Using the Book of Lords to transmit messages back and forth.
Secondly, creating some tools to make certain things easier.
Dong Jiayue nodded, “Alright, we still have about three or four hours, everyone go back and get prepared.”
“Yes!”
Everyone responded and left the tent in succession.
…
Night fell.
Within the command hall of the dwarf stronghold.
The commander of the Third Battalion, Hester.
Sat anxiously in his chair, with a Sound-transmitting Shell in front of him.
He was just silently staring at it.
“Commander Hester, what did the King say? When will the reinforcements arrive?” an old dwarf asked.
“Yes, when will the reinforcements arrive?”
This border stronghold was not just a fortress but also a city.
The people present were the heads of powerful families within the city.
A dwarf scout had reported the nearness of the Undead.
It scared many people out of their wits.
Hester too looked just as grim. Just more than a week ago, he had been promoted to a commander.
Who would have thought that the first battle he would participate in as commander would be so challenging?
Inside, he began to envy the commander who had been stripped of his rank for making a mistake.
At least he was safe in Gray Iron City.
He, on the other hand, seemed to have control over the army but was posted on the front lines.
But at this moment, he also had to reassure the city’s notables.
“Don’t worry, we still have time. And getting from one stronghold to another isn’t that easy,” Hester reassured them softly.
He too was waiting for news from Gray Iron City.
The request for reinforcements had been sent several days ago, but still, there was no reply from Gray Iron City.
Just as the nobles in the city were breathing a sigh of relief,
They suddenly sensed that something was off.
All heads turned in unison to the water glass on the table.
There, they saw rhythmic ripples forming in the water, and then the chandelier above started to shake.
Finally, even the ground began to rumble beneath them.
“What’s happening? An earthquake?”
“Hurry out, there’s an earthquake.”
The hall turned into a complete uproar instantly.
At the same time, alarms started ringing loudly from outside the city.
Hester’s face turned pale instantly.
Before he could check anything, a soldier ran in.
“Commander, the Undead have begun attacking the city.”
