Capítulo 1828: Chapter 875: A Strong Start, Weak Finish (Part 3)

“As long as there’s hope, I’m most afraid of not being able to manufacture it.” Gaven’s smile couldn’t be concealed no matter what, “Today’s harvest is already big enough, not only have we found a new method of enhancement, but also solutions to many problems. Teacher, you really are my lucky star.”

Compared to Daphne and Grace, Philancy is the true research talent.

Once she is invited back to my territory, the magic technology there will definitely enter an explosive state. Many problems that have previously troubled us will be easily solved, or we will find better alternatives.

“You are also my lucky star, if it weren’t for you, I would still be trapped in the endless mist right now, unable to escape!” Philancy responded with a smile, as if she had done something trivial, “This thing being called the Skull-Headed Flyer sounds terrible, why not think of a more suitable name.”

“Alright then.” Gaven pondered for a moment and said, “Why not name this flying device the Nether Series? Spectral One, if there’s a new improved version, continue to iterate from there, and this one in your hand can be called the Nether Prototype Machine.”

“Okay.” Philancy didn’t have much demand, as long as it sounds better than Skull-Headed Flyer.

The others didn’t raise any objections, and all agreed it was good.

“The skeletons are retreating! The skeletons are retreating, we have won, we have won!”

“How could the Red Robe Mages give up so easily?”

“It’s because of Commander Gaven, they kept suppressing them in battle, causing heavy casualties to their high-ranking undead, making them afraid to continue their assault.”

While Gaven and the others were absorbed in research, thunderous cheers came from the city walls.

Outside the walls, the Skeleton Army was retreating from their sight like a tidal wave.

This meant that the Red Robe Mages of the Kingdom of Ser had given up on this siege, and were withdrawing their main forces.

Even many Laiserman Berserkers, though victorious, didn’t understand the main reason, only those who witnessed Gaven’s remarkable feats on the battlefield, showing terrifying advantages over the undead creatures, understood the crux of the matter.

Just breaking the City Defense Maze Lock of Mosantiel City had already consumed a lot of strength from these Red Robe Mages, now with the addition of a suppressive divine power, the overall situation was severely unfavorable to them. Continuing to fight would make the capture of Mosantiel City almost impossible, but their casualties would increase significantly.

After assessing the situation, retreat was their wisest choice.

“These Red Robe Mages are quite decisive, but what is the point of them initiating this war?” Philancy’s words were filled with deep puzzlement.

This siege battle ended typically anticlimactically.

After expending so much effort, they withdrew at the slightest obstacle?

“Of course, they have their own purposes.” Gaven explained with a smile, “The strategic significance of this war is threefold.

Firstly, it’s to cooperate with the Tukan Remnant Army. After this assault, the Laiserman Kingdom had no choice but to garrison their troops within their borders, unable to pursue the Tukan People further, expand battle results, and destroy the living forces of the Tukan People.”

After this delay, the remnants of the Tukan Army had already fled fifty kilometers, regrouping once again, missing the best opportunity for a night raid.”

“What is their purpose in doing this? What benefits do they gain from this process?” In terms of magic research, Philancy is definitely a top-tier research talent, but her understanding of war was only at an ordinary person’s level.

“Of course, there are benefits. As a highly aggressive country, they thrive in chaos. Only if the Eastern Region remains chaotic will they have more opportunities to exploit.”

Gaven patiently explained, “Their second purpose is to curb the development of the Laiserman Kingdom. Even just the battle of Lake Asen brought in a profit of five billion, more than covering the losses of this war with plenty left over.”

If they were to annihilate the entire army and swallow up their spoils, it would cause the Laiserman Kingdom not to lose but profit, making the Kingdom gain momentum, greatly increasing the difficulty for the Kingdom of Ser to invade southward again.”

Philancy’s brow furrowed even more because resolving the old confusion gave rise to new confusion, “Their timing to launch the war was somewhat late, if all your attention had been drawn to Lake Asen, when the Golden Tent Army broke through Mosantiel City’s defenses, pushing their Skeleton Army out completely, this city would likely have already changed hands.”

“The nature is different.” Gaven sneered, “These Red Robe Mages are typical of trying to have it both ways, clearly allied with the Tukan People, yet unwilling to be accused.

Once they launched a substantial war against the Laiserman Kingdom before the Tukan People completely crossed the lake, it would effectively prove this point to the world.

Once the Felen Allied Forces land, they could use this as evidence to wage war against them together with the Tukan Army.”

But now it’s different, although there is an appearance of taking advantage of a crisis, the war between the Laiserman Kingdom and the Tukan People has ended.”

The Kingdom of Ser can fully declare afterward that this is an old feud between them and the Laiserman Kingdom.

Even if everyone knows their real combat objective, they are helpless, because everything is indirect, not a direct cause and effect.

This also caused them to miss the best timing for an attack.

However, the main reason was that the City Defense Maze Lock of Mosantiel City was strong enough, not only suppressing the Skeleton Army of the Kingdom of Ser but also instantly repairing damaged walls.

If it relied purely on manpower, the battlefield at most would have just been cleaned, and the city walls would still be in a damaged state, in which case, this battle could continue.”

This was their third purpose, to test the real strength of the Laiserman Kingdom.”

If their strength wasn’t severely affected by this war, so be it.

If they showed any signs of weakness, they would surely launch a large-scale full-scale attack, at which point, we would be facing much more than just a Skeleton Legion.”

“I see, I didn’t expect that such an anticlimactic attack contained so much learning.” Philancy praised sincerely, “In terms of strategy and tactics, you are the teacher, it seems I need to ask you more about this area in the future.”
