"The city of Sharanmar has been captured." In the hall of North Limburg, while the staff officers were panicked and dealing with the piles of documents in front of them, Sun Lin walked to the huge sand table with the information and the small red flag representing the sun never setting in his hand, and at the same time pulled out the small blue flag that represented the earthen carving of Sharanmar City, and planted the red flag on it.

"In this way, the Sharanmar Hill Region, one of the four main regions of the Water Qilin Empire, is the second area after the Marta Grassland Region to be largely pacified by our Sunset Great Empire, and now only the coastal area remains." As he spoke, Sun Lin put down the battle report in his hand and took down the second battle report from his own wooden table near the edge of the giant sand table.

"The army will fully enter the coastal area of the Inland Sea of the King of the Water Qilin Empire on May 1st, and divide the troops into 5 routes to attack Mercury City, Pearl Harbor, Hailan Fort, Xingshui City and Deknar City in turn, the 1st Army is currently equipped with 20 siege guns and 5 heavy siege artillery, so the coastal area battle of the Water Qilin Empire should be over in mid-May, right? ............ like that," muttered at the same time, Sun Lin also began to fiddle with the banner of the coastal area of the Water Qilin Empire: "Except for the area where the Water Qilin Empire can be imaged by its imperial city, most of the rest of the territory has fallen into our hands. ”

It can be seen from the sand table that was finished by Sun Lin that at this moment, the Nordland region located in the south of the Marta grassland, the north of the Nirya Mountains, and the northeast of the Salan Mar Hills has been almost surrounded by Sunset, and the Marta Grassland occupied by the cavalry army of the 1st Army of Sunset has also almost cut off the territory of the Water Qilin Empire, dividing the area that the Water Qilin Empire can now influence in two.

For the situation in front of him, Sun Lin, who should be extremely happy with reason, couldn't show a smile on his face, because as the sun never set the army went deep into the hinterland of the Water Qilin Empire, some problems were gradually exposed.

For example, the source and transportation of baggage: compared with the 2nd Expeditionary Force in the middle of the continent where the sun never sets, the current situation of the 1st Expeditionary Force's baggage supply line is quite good. Because their baggage comes from the Nat Plain, and the richness of the Nat Plain is known to everyone, the 1st Expeditionary Force in the Middle Continent does not lack baggage. In terms of transportation, the Kodo beasts bred by the Horse Guild of the Nat Plains have a strong load-carrying capacity, and some of these transporters can walk on the desolate Kukodo grasslands or the rugged blackwater swamps.

The 2nd Expeditionary Force of the Central Continent had more baggage problems, because the source of their baggage was the Western Continent, which had been tormented by war for several years, and some of the baggage production areas had been destroyed before this and fell into a state of reconstruction; At the same time, the 2nd Army's transport forces did not have Kodomon, but they also had to pass through an uninhabited dense forest area with terrain as complex as the Blackwater Marshes.

However, it does not mean that the logistics of the 1st Army are good, it can only be said that it is better than that of the 2nd Army, after all, the baggage they need is transported from another continental area.

For example, the emotional problems of the soldiers in the army where the sun never sets, although Sun Lin worked hard to make the soldiers have a bad feeling towards the people of the Water Qilin Empire, and the era in which the King Continent is now is not in the future, and people's views on human life are not so compassionate, but after all, they are all of the same race, and there are still many soldiers who can't accept killing many people here at once.

Fortunately, Sun Lin's plan was not to kill the Water Qilin Empire at once, but to use the Marta Grassland and the Sharandol Hills to form a flank to force the Water Qilin Empire to surrender (after all, it is a good thing to have more manpower, as long as the Water Qilin Empire surrenders and declares its destruction, then the lore order issued by the sun does not set can end, and Sun Lin can justifiably incorporate these people of the Water Qilin Empire, and then mark them with a slave seal and send them to the Ancient Continent, so that these slaves can go to the Red Fortress to build a strong fortress, or mining with orc slaves). So that the cavalry army of the 1st Army and the 2nd Army, which had been killed too heavily before, now have a certain amount of respite, otherwise those uneasy factors may cause some trouble.

In addition to these two main problems, what made Sun Lin feel most uneasy and caused him to not have a trace of victory joy now was the movement of the Water Qilin's side: the Great Empire of the Sun Never Sets has invaded the Water Qilin Empire for about 2 weeks, but so far the Water Qilin side has not reacted, and August seems to have no idea about what has happened in his territory in the past 2 weeks, not only has he not shrunk his forces, but he has not even built a defensive belt around the imperial city.

After discovering this situation, Sun Lin immediately studied the distribution map of the potential forces in the Western Regions of the Central Continent, because judging from the current situation, either August had committed suicide (but obviously this is impossible) caused the top level of the Water Qilin Empire that had undergone a great purge before to fall into chaos, resulting in the Water Qilin side being unable to react, or the Water Qilin Great Empire was invited to have strong foreign aid.

First of all, the Holy Light Empire can be ruled out, because of the existence of Baidelan, Sun Lin believes that at this time, when the two archbishops are currently focusing on the competition for the papal throne, Baidelan has the ability to completely suppress those bishops who advocate a sneak attack on the sun without setting with the power at his disposal.

As for the real pope candidate in Sun Lin's heart, it can also be said to be the fourth pope candidate, although he also has some thoughts about the main battle faction of the Great Empire, but because he hides all his strength too deeply, it is impossible for him to expose the strength he holds at such a critical moment.

As for the forces close to the Water Qilin Empire: The snake tribe has the natural barrier of the Nirya Mountains, so its attitude towards the Water Qilin Empire is neutral, but it has a cold attitude towards most things, so it should not help the Water Qilin Empire, of course, this is just the right place.

And the United Kingdom of Aihuasha, which was originally established by the kingdoms and principalities that had been invaded by the Water Qilin Empire, was a feud with the Water Qilin Empire, which can be ruled out, and there is also a powerful Moldan Kingdom. As for the Business Alliance, the relationship with the Great Empire is very friendly now, so it is impossible for the Water Qilin Empire to come to help.

However, it turns out that Sun Lin is not omnipotent, and he has also entered the misunderstanding of inertial thinking when thinking before. , so when a piece of information that was expedited to purple was conveyed to Sun Lin by the panicked herald, Sun Lin's face instantly changed.
