Chapter 253: The Dark Lord and the Revolution of the Sage (XIII)(2/2)
"Morale, tactics, strength, all these conditions are accumulating. Our hope is gradually condensing. Now, like a concave and convex mirror under the scorching sun, we focus all the light and heat on these fortresses - Jean Guding Fortress
Burn it, let it smoke!"

Calvin Kelasel pinned his hopes on the defense of various fortresses, firmly believing that these impregnable strongholds could delay the march of the Dark Lord.
He calmly analyzed the battle situation and believed that as long as the defense line was stabilized and the crystal wall system prepared by the sage was completed, everything would return to the control of the Kailasel family.
However, the facts shattered his illusions time and time again.
Not only did those fortresses fail to effectively block the enemy's attack, but they were captured one by one and became isolated and helpless "prisons."
When the Dark Lord marched to [Guding Fortress], this fortress was an important stronghold of the Kailasel family in the southeast. The number of defenders was about 500, most of whom were well-trained Auror elites.
Despite this, they were left alone and helpless.
Calvin's decentralized defense strategy seemed extremely foolish at this time. He always believed that the fortress could defend itself without additional support and even contain the enemy forces far away from the Dark Lord.
However, the development of the war situation once again mercilessly mocked this confidence.
Under the night, the Dark Lord marched and began the siege of [Guding Fortress].
Camille's eight personas perform their own duties in this battle. With the Thinker as the leader, she calmly formulates a battle plan and orders the other masks to lead different detachments and execute precise tactics.
Following her instructions, each team took action in turn, using the cover of night to gradually erode the outer defense line of Guding Fortress.
The battle lasted for two days. Although the defenders showed tenacious resistance, they were unable to change the situation of the battle.
With the collapse of the last line of defense, the Dark Lord marched and successfully occupied the Guding Fortress.
This victory not only caused the Kelasel family to lose another city, but also gave the Dark Lord's march an unprecedented boost in numbers and morale.
Camille's true form and Xia Xiu stood on the high wall of the fortress, staring at the sky dyed red by the war.
Camille stared at the distant sky with deep eyes and murmured in a low voice:
"The so-called strategic decisive battle, in the final analysis, is two blindfolded commanders arranging their troops on the battlefield and betting on tactics.
In this case, the commander's vision and strategic vision are particularly important. Even if Terra's modern warfare has a certain degree of open vision due to the existence of the lineage, the vision will be limited by the other side's lineage shielding.
.
In the final analysis, genealogy wars often evolve into games between think tanks, and a competition between vision prediction and personnel scheduling."
Xia Xiu stood aside, with a meaningful smile on his lips, and added lightly:
"Don't forget to consider the perspective of strategic deterrence."
"That's true. Precisely because there were no powerful holders to directly participate, the intensity of this war was suppressed within a specific range and did not escalate further. It was while the intensity had not escalated that I decided to move forward quickly. But to be honest,
I didn’t expect that the commander on the other side would be like this..."
Camille paused slightly, seeming to consider his words.
"So stubborn and stupid, aren't you?"
The fourth sword holder in the Kingdom of Heaven took over the conversation without mercy, with his usual venomous and ridiculing tone.
Camille smiled helplessly, but did not refute:
"Well said."
She then asked:
“What do you think next about where Calvin Kellaser is now?”
The blond young man's eyes were indifferent, but there was an unquestionable certainty in his voice:
"Insufficient troops, no hope of reinforcements. Low morale, collapsed confidence. Tactics are rigid and lack of adaptability. And they underestimated you. The next battle will be over within a day, and you should be able to see the Auror a day later."
"Compared to him, you did a great job, Camille."
Xia Xiu tilted his head and did not hesitate to praise him.
Camille's eyes flickered slightly, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone on her profile, adding a thin layer of brilliance to her stern expression.
"Then the other card can also be used?"
"Then, it's time to flip the other card, right?"
Xia Xiu, who was standing next to her, raised his head and looked through the blood-stained sky. His golden eyes shone brightly, like the scorching sun controlling destiny.
"Let's turn over the cards together. The card I buried in Arcadian City can also be used."
He paused for a moment and said with a smile:
"The death of five web-weaving masters one after another is enough for me to find the hiding place of the old turtle."
"When the Ring of Nagas is completely liberated and our anchor is nailed down, the Hundred Layer World will no longer be able to expel me easily."
His eyes were slightly lowered, as if he was deep in thought and planning the next step.
"At that time, I will also make time to have a good talk with those so-called first-level red-robed wizards - especially about the ownership of the Order of Merlin."
Before he finished speaking, the blond young man's tone suddenly became colder, as if there was a biting chill.
"There is also the issue of those named persons and the Crowned Breeds in the Hundred-layered World. I think it's time to clear it up - especially one of the silver-robed wizards, who is inextricably linked to this matter."
When he said this, a cold light flashed across his golden eyes.
