1530 Chapter 1364: Enemy's Goal 2
'She's an exception. A pure muscle head. I thought Maggie was the only one but this girl is more muscle head than her, if only I could bring them out, make them my subordinates. It would be great.'
Alex shook his head and finger helplessly. There was nothing he could do about it now, he could only focus on the matter at hand. Maybe later he could find a solution, an alternative. He was sure to gain a lot from this game.
Shortly after, the bustling room turned quiet and everyone looked at him for the answer.
Then, Alex said, "You guys have to remember that war is an extension of politics. It's means to achieve political goals. If they can't achieve what they want, then war will be meaningless. You used to be mercenaries who act in according to orders. But now, I need you to grow up and watch the complicated meaning behind this war everything else."
Alex spread out the continent map on the table and pointed here and there. Everyone crowded over.
"I guess you're aware of the Undead Army's structure through Lars's confessions. But I have to warn you that this was only the tip of the iceberg. Their true strength is far from these. In the previous battles, they have only dispatched medium to low-grade troops, with none of the high-grade troops which included the Skeletal Trolls, Death Scythes, Liches, Vampire Army, or Shadow Demons. All of them are the Undead Army's ultimate killers and there is also the Dark Elves and another group of a dark race. Currently, none of them have appeared at all. Perhaps you haven't experienced how powerful they are, but I can tell you that if they emerged, even Maggie and Cecilia would avoid meeting them face to face. In fact, they also didn't dispatch any the medium-grade troops. All that you've seen are the Abominations and Death Knights. You didn't see any Specters or Ghouls at all, right?"
There was a moment silence, they started picture the whole puzzle.
Many of them paled. They knew how terrifying the Abominations were. In fact, most of their companions had died to their attacks. Not only could their hatchets crush the Cleric's defensive barrier into bits, but the Abominations also didn't even flinch to explosive magic arrows as they advanced. If it wasn't for Madeline who used the [Under Night Sky] and reset the battlefield to reposition them away from the Fortress, no one could predict what the consequences were.
Alex continued.
''The low-grade Skeleton Soldiers, Death Knights, Abominations, followed by Skeleton Guards, Gargoyles, Bone Griffins, and Necromancers. I've just mentioned that none of the high-grade troops have appeared. Do you know why?"
"Because they're preserving their strength?"
After all, Johnson used to be an official commander and he was stronger in this aspect.

"Why are they preserving their strength?"
"That..."
Alex revealed a trace of laughter in his eyes.
This time, it was Johnson who spoke. After figuring out the situation from Alex's information, he had his own judgment now.
"Just as Sir has said, the Dali Kingdom is just sounding us out at the moment. This is like a battle between two men, where no one will rush ahead immediately. If we can't defend against their attack, they will be determined to devour us entirely. But if we resisted against them successfully, they will consider if they have a need to continue their attack... Is that right, Sir?"
"That's right."
Alex nodded in agreement.
"The Dali Kingdom doesn't seem interested in breaking out in an all-out war against the Light Mainland—at least for now. Their main goal is to plunder more land and resources to supply their domestic, emerging forces. This is also why the four legendary generals didn't lead their armies to the battlefield in the first place. At the same time, this also serves as a test and knockout competition for the various forces in the Dali Kingdom. The battlefield is like an examination hall. Those who fail will be crushed and only the true elites will survive."
Alex took a breather before continuing.
"I said all this for you to have an entirely new outlook on the entire situation."
Alex shifted his gaze from the map to everyone before him.
"This isn't just a simple war. The Dali's Kingdom battle lines have faced resistance in the Renner Kingdom, but this isn't their true strength. I want you to remember this. They are regrouping their troops, reevaluating their strategies, and mobilizing their army. But just as I've said, the four legendary generals won't show up that easily because this might trigger the involvement of the others Big shots, turn into a battle between behemoths, and become the second world war."
"Don't we have any ways to stop this battle?"
Alice placed her hands on her chest and said worriedly. Alex twitched his brows slightly.
"There are indeed some ways. As long as we do our best in defending against the Undead Army's attack and eliminate their forces, the Dali Kingdom will back down as soon as they realized that the damage is far more than their benefits."
''I see, that's the best solution in our current situation.'' Cecilia said and the others nodded.
Shortly, the meeting came to an end because reinforcement had arrived.
