Capítulo 1861: Chapter 886: Warfare Has No Fixed Form (Part 3)

This is not mere praise, but a statement of fact.

The reason they dared to collude with Gaven against Khan Yamen earlier was because they had the Totem Dreamscape as a safety net, no longer fearing an all-out attack on their Laiserman Kingdom by Khan Yamen. With several Haslan Witches stationed in the Totem Dreamscape, they were confident they could hold off the interference from the upper echelons of the Red Robe Mage Association of the Kingdom of Ser.

The emergence of the Totem Dreamscape not only altered the role Laiserman Kingdom could play in this war, but also changed the state of the war between them and the Kingdom of Ser. They were no longer merely on the defensive, but now had the ability to launch proactive attacks, seizing the initiative in the war.

“This benefits both sides. Without all of you keeping Khan Yamen extraordinarily contained within his army, I would not dare to act rashly in other directions,” Gaven replied with a smile.

Whether it was the deployment of the War Chariot Legion or the previous assault by the Haslan Witches on the Tukan Army, everything was interlinked.

The sole purpose was to bind Khan Yamen. Only then could the war be dragged into a state of normalization.

After a moment’s contemplation, the Earth Spirit Witch suggested, “Since the Tukan people have already split their forces, why don’t we strike them unexpectedly and wipe out this Vanguard Army of theirs? They only think they are chasing your War Chariot Legion, not knowing that one of our Berserker Legions is lurking in your chariots.”

Released from the Totem Dreamscape were not only the Haslan Witches, but also the Berserker Legion of Laiserman Kingdom.

After the formal establishment of the Totem Dreamscape, the Haslan Witches and Gaven held another secret meeting, delving into the situation in The Eastern Desolation and reaching deeper cooperation.

These Haslan Witches continued to support Gaven as Commander, not only putting their full effort into helping him form the Far East Heavy Cavalry but also drafting the most elite of Laiserman Kingdom’s The Fearless to form an army of ten thousand, personally led by Iron King Sederline, with the Earth Spirit Witch orchestrating from behind the scenes, handing over full command and coordination to Gaven.

Do not underestimate this army; they are the essence of Laiserman Kingdom. These Fearless have all unlocked their Totem Spirits, and all are specially selected to be suitable as mounts.

This means an army can serve dual purposes, both as berserk infantry for assault or defense, and as cavalry for breaking through formations or chasing enemies.

Most impressive, they possess not only the berserk ability to fight three enemies at once, but also the defensive power of heavy infantry and the maneuverability of light infantry. When used as cavalry, they combine the advantages of both light and heavy cavalry while having a stealthiness ordinary cavalry lacks. Their mounts are their Totem Spirits, nurtured within their bodies and only summoned when needed.

These Totem Spirit mounts have a daily manifestation time limit, which is a moderate drawback.

The traits of this Berserker Legion make them a perfect match for the War Chariot Legion.

Since leaving Laiserman Kingdom, they have been hidden in the Tower War Chariots, supplemented by the concealment blessing from the Storm Entity Storm, making it impossible for even the air-scouting Tukan people to fully grasp the true state of the War Chariot Legion.

“Too close,” Gaven decisively denied, “It’s simply too close to the Tukan Army. Their reinforcements could arrive at any moment, and if we get entangled with them, the loss would outweigh the gain.

Moreover, since the opposing force is light cavalry, if they decide to focus on fleeing, it will be very difficult for us to achieve complete annihilation against them, potentially delaying our subsequent battle plans.”

“Makes sense.” The Earth Spirit Witch did not insist on her opinion, acknowledging her lack of expertise in military command, and instead asked, “What military measures does Commander intend to take in Temel? Fortify the city and defend?”

“Tactics are not constant; like water, they have no fixed form.” Gaven quoted an ancient text, feeling his Huaxia soul burning brightly since interacting with those from the Soaring Dragon Empire, triggering unconscious reflections on many things.

The Earth Spirit Witch, suspecting nothing, interpreted it as a unique language of the Soaring Dragon Empire and curiously asked, “What does it mean?”

Gaven explained, “Military strategies are not immutable but change according to the enemy’s actions. Whether Temel can be defended is not up to us, but determined by the forces gathered there ahead of us and the movements of our enemies. Even if we prepare the strongest defense, if the enemy doesn’t intend to attack and bypasses us instead, all our efforts will be in vain.”

“Not attack Temel?” The Earth Spirit Witch was taken aback.
