Chapter 484: Strategic Location

"What's the matter? Are they evacuating on their own initiative?" said Wang Haoze, who was beside Jiang'an, in a low voice.

"Looks like they've sensed Gurray approaching here. In order to avoid being flanked, he decided to abandon the members of the Order who had gone up the mountain and evacuated on his own. Shogan groaned.

"This is a good opportunity, should we take advantage of the situation to pursue?" Wang Haoze said in a low voice.

"Absolutely not. Shogan shook his head and said, "Our advantage is not in numbers or firepower, but in the terrain of this mountain forest. Taking the initiative to pursue is tantamount to giving up our greatest advantage and using our shortcomings to counter the enemy's strengths. Do you think their combat vehicles are vegetarians?"

"Do you want to see them go?" Wang Haoze said a little unwillingly.

"Yes, letting them go is the best option. Shogishi nodded. "Achieving the predetermined strategic goal is victory, and in that respect we have won. Pursuing while winning will only increase casualties and turn a victory into a pyrrhic victory. ”

"Well, you always have a point. Wang Haoze shrugged and said, "I really hope that the people of Gulei can bring us some good news." ”

Ten minutes later, Guray arrived with his men. When they arrived, the Order's members trapped in the woods were in utter despair, surrendering their weapons. Because they already knew that there was no chance of victory, and that they had only two options to be captured, or killed. They are all very practical, they can be captured, why should they be killed?

The dozens of people were handcuffed in nylon and put down. Guray has arranged for interrogators to interrogate them. Hope to get more news from them about the Order.

Lin Rui walked up to Jiang An and high-fived him, "Well done." ”

"The other party is no worse than us. Shogan frowned, "The final retreat was also arranged in an orderly manner, leaving us no chance to pursue, and it seems that there are real masters in their ranks." ”

"Not surprisingly, Dila was a wise man, and his father gave him a very systematic and rigorous military education for the restoration of the Mavo dynasty. He is naturally not weak in this regard. Lin Rui nodded.

Gu Lei walked over, his face a little heavy, "You learned about the Secret Society's attack plan, they should be aware of it. The members of the Order will be flown elsewhere. ”

"Either way, we've delayed their entry into Mawao. From this point of view, we have a certain advantage. "Shogishi said calmly.

"Yes, but we underestimate Dillia's demagoguery. Guray sighed and said, "It's also the result of these warlords being so unpopular, Dila started an incident in my hometown, and in just a few weeks, he has won over several surrounding tribes. With the remaining influence of the Mavo royal family, the number has quickly climbed to thousands. ”

"What about the forces of the local warlords, did they just let Dilya grow stronger?" Lin Rui frowned.

"The warlords can't count on it, they occupy one side just to collect taxes, and nothing else. Their control over the local area is already weak, let alone let them fight against Dilya. In order to preserve their strength, as soon as they met Dilya's people, they fled in despair. Several of the big warlord leaders in the capital region were already furious, and shot several of the fleeing warlords one after another. But the shape has deteriorated and cannot be recovered. Gulei said slowly, "It's only a matter of time before Dilya takes over the entire Eastern Province. ”

"One more point, once his forces succeed in taking over the eastern provinces. The positions of those wavering petty warlords and local clan armies will also change. These people are the grass on the wall, and the Mavo authorities have no binding force on them. They only care about the interests of their family forces, and they can easily cling to Dilya. This time it caused Dillia's power to expand even further. Lin Rui frowned.

"yes, it's a little tricky this time. Guray sighed.

"And that's not all. Lin Rui shook his head, "The Secret Society is not only to cooperate with Dilya's military operations, I believe they will also assassinate you, this is the earliest information provided by White Glove." You are the first in line to the throne of the Mavo dynasty, and you are in control of a coalition of forces provided to you by the surrounding countries. And that's just the surface, in fact your hidden influence is even greater. You can influence the AU member states. ”

"This result is not unexpected, I have been attacked several times in the past two days. Gu Lei said lightly, "But to kill me, the Secret Society has to send some decent characters." ”

A few people walked and talked, Lin Rui saw a few injured black mercenaries, and whispered to Gu Lei, "Our mercenaries don't train for a long time, and they don't have much combat experience. Although the shore was handled properly this time, there were no major casualties, but if you really want to fight Dilya, I am afraid that the casualties will be very large. ”

"So we have to be quick. Ghuray was silent for a moment and said, "Once Dila invades the Southwest Province and becomes entrenched there for a long time, it will be a very difficult and long-term war. When the time comes, Mavo will have to pay for the lives of many people. ”

"When do you think they're going to do it?" Lin Rui said as he looked at him.

"Not yet. They will need the support of the Order before they can act, but this process will not be long, and once the Order is fully involved, they will soon be sweeping across the east. Therefore I want you to go to the central provinces, and be prepared to intercept their march to the southwest. Gu Lei called Lin Rui and the others aside and spread out a map.

"Look at this map, we're in this location right now. The main road to the southwest is located at this location, which is the strategic point connecting the central province with the southwestern province, Naraner. Guray pointed to a spot on the map.

"That Nalaner, what's so special?" Lin Rui frowned.

"It's a thoroughfare between East and West, and it has a long history. It has long been an important town on Mavo's main trade routes. Defending Naranr will block Dillia's march to the southwest. So we're going to try to hold this place. "Guredo. "No matter how strong Dilia's power is, he can't do anything if he can't get through Nalaner. ”

"What's it like there?" Lin Rui frowned.

"It's a small town and it's not dangerous. Gu Lei said slowly.

"Then why do you say it's strategic?" Jason said curiously.

Guray looked at Jason and said, "Because it controls the Hongshui River, the main source of water in the southwestern province, which is a tributary of the Congo River. There is a sluice gate in the city of Nalaner, and once the sluice is lowered, the flow of the Hongshui River can be blocked, and the river in the southwestern province of zhì will be cut off. And the southwest is the most water-scarce region, so to occupy the southwestern province, it is necessary to occupy Naraner. ”

"This means that they will take the town regardless of the situation. Lin Rui's face was a little heavy.
