Chapter 741: Chapter 512, Blocking the Reinforcements_1
Hearing this news,
Fang Hao was somewhat surprised.
Winter was about to arrive and given the situation, which was nearly medieval,
launching a large-scale war would drain too much resources.
Unless absolutely necessary, no forces would be willing to wage war at this time.
However, the Federation of Hundred Cities still decided to assist the dwarves.
Looking at this, it appeared that humanity had made a huge resolve.
However, the dwarves obviously didn’t inform humans about the actual number of the Undead.
Otherwise, Silver Wing City would not have sent twenty thousand people to their deaths.

“Will other cities also send troops?” Fang Hao turned to his trusted aide.
The latter nodded and replied, “For war against foreign races, each city will send out a corresponding amount of troops based on its City Level. As for Lyss City, according to its current City Level, they have to dispatch at least ten thousand soldiers to join the joint army.”
Lyss City was at City Level twelve.
For those above level ten, there would be a minimum number of troops to deploy.
Given the numerous human cities, such a merger resulted in quite a significant number.
Fang Hao thought for a moment before continuing, “When will the twenty thousand from the Hall of Justice and the church depart? When will the others from various cities leave?”
“The force from Silver Wing City has already set off two days ago. Based on their route, they are expected to pass Cracked Stone Bridge today. My lady received an order stating that she must send reinforcements to Eight Peaks Mountain within two months, hence, my lady wishes to seek your opinion.” The trusted aide responded seriously.
Fang Hao nodded, “Alright, I understand. I will return later and discuss this matter with Rebecca personally.”
“Very well, City Lord.” The trusted aide saluted once more before leaving the room.
The hall was once again quiet.
Li Rong curiously asked, “Are you involved with the dwarves?”
By now, how could she not understand what he meant.
Clearly, the war with the dwarves had something to do with Fang Hao, which was why someone specifically came to inform him about the movement of the Human Federation.
Fang Hao looked at her and said, “There’s no harm in telling you now. My people are attacking Eight Peaks Mountain. According to the current pace, we should be able to take over the entire Eight Peaks Mountain before winter arrives.”
Li Rong was completely stunned.
She had made speculations about Fang Hao’s power.
He had a high-ranked hero, special troops, and it was said that he had vast territory.
But now, he said he was at war with the dwarven forces.
Just how much should a transmigrator expand before they would start a war with a faction, and even aim to seize the enemy’s territory before winter?
Each time they interacted, she thought she knew Fang Hao’s final trump card.
But each time, she would have to revise her conjecture.
He was at war with an entire race.
This was simply madness.
“Are you lying to me?” Li Rong tentatively asked.
As Fang Hao was flipping through the Book of Lords, he replied, “Why would I deceive you? We are now part of the same force, and there is no benefit in lying to you.”
“Mad, this is madness.” Li Rong fanned herself as she murmured to herself.
Fang Hao ignored her and started a private chat with Dong Jiayue.
“Jia Yue, how’s the war going? Do you need any support?”
Soon, Dong Jiayue replied.
“No need, everything is sufficient. It’s just that the dwarves’ resistance has greatly increased, making the advancement slower.”
This was within expectations.
The closer to the central region, the stronger the resistance.
It was impossible to split the troops into five and conquer five cities in one night as when they were at the outskirts.
“The dwarves have sought aid from humans who have dispatched twenty thousand soldiers for assistance. The troops from the other cities would also be mobilized for support in due course.”
Fang Hao relayed the recently received news to Dong Jiayue.
After a while,
Dong Jiayue replied, “Twenty thousand troops are not a big deal, but the continuous reinforcement could slow down the speed at which we advance. If the war continues, there is a high chance that it could escalate into a war with dwarves and humans at the same time.”
Fang Hao didn’t respond immediately but pondered over Dong Jiayue’s words.
Dong Jiayue’s analysis made sense.
Twenty thousand may not seem like much, and it wouldn’t cause much of an impact within the two million strong White Bone Army.
But what if humans continue to send reinforcements?
Dong Jiayue would then have to deploy troops to block them. Once the conflict arose to a considerable degree and casualties increased,
there was a high possibility it could turn into a situation where the Undead were at war with both humans and dwarves.
If this happened, it would definitely deviate from his plan of developing the human race.
“Alright, I’ll figure out a solution here. Over there, pick up the pace and try to take over Eight Peaks Mountain as soon as possible,” Fang Hao replied Dong Jiayue after thinking it over.
“Okay, Brother Hao.”
After ending the chat,
Li Rong was still sitting quietly at the side, silently watching Fang Hao.
It seemed as if she was still considering why Fang Hao had developed so quickly and what the secret behind it was.
Fang Hao closed the Book of Lords and looked at Li Rong.
He asked, “Where is the Cracked Stone Bridge?”
“Ah? Oh, it’s here.” Li Rong opened the Book of City Lord and pointed to a location on the map.
Since it was a bird’s eye view.
They could see that it was a dried-up riverbed with a stone bridge connecting the two sides.
After looking at the distance between here and the Cracked Stone Bridge, Fang Hao nodded.
He then commanded towards the door, “Have the heroes come over. I have orders for them.”
After a while, several heroes entered the hall.
After sitting down at the side, Fang Hao told them about the situation in Silver Wing City.
Anjia was still busy feeding the Red General, she didn’t pay much attention to it.
Demitrija was also deep in thought.
Rather, it was the Gold Eating Queen, Amanda, who spoke after a brief silence, “Delaying the human reinforcements isn’t that difficult. As long as we create an illusion, they wouldn’t dare to send troops to assist in the short term.”
