Chapter 484: Strategic location

"What's the matter? They are taking the initiative to evacuate?" Wang Haoze next to Jiang An whispered.
"It seems that they have noticed that Gulei is approaching here. In order to avoid being pinched, the members of the secret society who decided to abandon the mountain and evacuated by themselves." Jiang An thought.
"This is a good opportunity? Should we take advantage of the situation and pursue it?" Wang Haoze whispered.
"Absolutely not." Jiang An shook his head, "Our advantage lies in the number of people and firepower, but in this mountainous terrain. Active pursuit is equivalent to giving up our greatest advantage and using our shortcomings to counter the enemy's strengths. You. Do you think their combat vehicles are vegetarian?"
"Do you see them go?" Wang Haoze said a little unwillingly.
"Yes, letting them leave is the best choice." Jiang An nodded. "Achieving the pre-determined strategic goal is victory. From this point of view, we have already won. Taking advantage of the victory will only increase casualties and turn a victory into a miserable victory."
"Well, you always make sense." Wang Haoze shrugged, "I really hope that the people from Gu Lei can bring us some good news."
Ten minutes later, Gulei brought his men and horses. When they arrived, the members of the secret society trapped in the woods were completely desperate, and they all surrendered their weapons. Because they already knew that there was no chance of winning, they had only two choices of being captured and killed. They are all very practical. If they can be captured, why should they die?
These dozens of people were put in nylon handcuffs and detained. Gure has arranged for interrogation experts to cross-examine them. Hope to get more news about the secret society from them.
Lin Rui walked to Jiang An and gave him a high-five, "beautiful."
"The other party is not worse than us." Jiang An frowned, "The final retreat was also arranged very well, and it didn't leave us a chance to pursue it. It seems that there are real experts in their team."
"It's not surprising that Delia is a smart man, and his father gave him a very systematic and strict military education for the restoration of the Marvo Dynasty. He is naturally not weak in this respect." Lin Rui nodded.
Gu Lei came over, his face a little heavy, "You learned about the secret society's offensive plan. They should have noticed it. The secret society members will land elsewhere."
"Anyway, we have delayed their time to enter Marvo. From this point of view, we have a certain advantage." Jiang An said calmly.
"Yes, but we still underestimated Delia's provocative nature." Gure sighed, "It is also the result of the unpopularity of these warlords. Delia started an incident in my hometown. In a week, several surrounding tribes have been wooed. With the remaining influence of the Mavor royal family, the number has rapidly risen to several thousand."
"Where are the troops of the local warlords? Do they just allow Delia to develop and grow?" Lin Rui frowned.
"Those warlords can't count on them. They occupy one side just to collect taxes and don't ask about anything else. Their control of the place is inherently weak, let alone let them fight Delia. In order to preserve their strength, when they meet The people of Delia, they fled watching the wind. The leaders of the major warlords in the capital area were already very angry and shot several escaping warlords one after another. But the situation has deteriorated and they can't be saved." Gu Lei slowly said. "It’s only a matter of time before Delia occupies the entire eastern province."
"One more thing, once his power succeeds in occupying the eastern provinces, the stance of the vacillating little warlords and local clan armed forces will also change. This group of people is a horror, and the Mawar authorities have no binding force on them. They only If you care about the interests of the family power, it is easy to cling to Delia. This will cause Delia's power to expand further." Lin Rui frowned.
"Yeah, it's a bit tricky this time." Gulei sighed.
"It's more than that." Lin Rui shook his head. "The secret society is not only to cooperate with Delia's military operations, I believe they will also assassinate you. This is the earliest information provided by White Gloves. You are the Mavor Dynasty. Heir to the first in line, and he holds a coalition provided to you by neighboring countries. This is only superficial. In fact, your hidden influence is even greater. You can influence the member states of the African Union."
"This result is not unexpected. I have encountered several attacks in the past few days." Gu Lei said indifferently, "but to kill me, the secret society has to send some decent characters."
As several people walked and talked, Lin Rui saw several wounded black mercenaries and whispered to Gu Lei, "Our mercenaries don’t have much training time, and they don’t have much combat experience. Although they handled the shore properly this time, they didn’t. There are heavy casualties, but if you really want to fight Delia, I'm afraid the casualties will be huge."
"So we have to fight quickly." Gure said for a while, "Once Delia breaks into the southwestern province and stays there for a long time, it will be a very difficult long-term war. At that time, Marvo It will be the lives of many people."
"When do you think they will do it?" Lin Rui looked at him.
"Not at the moment. They will need the support of the secret society to act, but this process will not take long. Once the secret society is fully involved, they will soon sweep the entire east. So I want you to go to the central provinces. , Get ready to stop them from heading southwest." Gulei called Lin Rui and the others aside and spread out a map.
"Look at this map. We are now at this location. The main road to the southwest is at this location. This is the strategic place connecting the central provinces and the southwestern provinces, Narendr." Gure pointed to A little bit on the map.
"What's so special about Nalaner?" Lin Rui frowned.
"This is the main way to connect east and west. It has a long history. Long ago it was a major town on the main commercial road of Marvo. By defending Narendr, you can block Delia from marching southwest. So we have to try to defend this place." Gure Road. "No matter how powerful Delia's power grows, but he doesn't have any effect if he can't pass Naraner."
"What's it like there?" Lin Rui frowned.
"It's a small town, and there is no danger to guard." Gulei said slowly.
"Then why is it a strategic location?" Jason asked strangely.
Gure looked at Jason and said, "Because there controls the Red Water River, the main source of water in the southwestern province, which is a tributary of the Congo River. There are sluices in the city of Naraner. Once the sluices are lowered, the red water can be blocked. The flow of the river caused the river to dry up in the southwestern province. The southwest is the most water-scarce area, so if you want to occupy the southwestern province, you must occupy Narran."
"This means that they will take this town desperately." Lin Rui's expression was a bit heavy.
