A different world game? A different world game!

In the conference room.

Blake, who had been in overall command at the front, stood up and reached out to operate the projection equipment.

"Although our standoff with the ratmen is protracted, the ratmen are currently on the defensive overall."

As he explained, the map was continuously zoomed in and out in more detail, with key points marked.

Everyone present had some relevant knowledge and experience, so they were naturally able to understand it.

"The reason why the ratmen are taking a defensive stance is simple: to slow us down."

Once we launch an attack, they will do everything in their power to stop us. At this stage, the ratmen have very low offensive drive; they have very clear objectives.

As Blake spoke, he zoomed in on the map again, and the image finally settled on the center of the rat-controlled area.

"Based on the intelligence we obtained after infiltrating, this place should be the core lair of the ratmen—the Rathide City, where there is a towering, abandoned spire."

Legend has it that the true form of the evil rat resides at the top of the tower, through which it bestows blessings upon the entire rat horde.

"As far as we know, according to the Night's Watch's strength assessment standards, the Rat's level is 15."

However, unlike normal, true legendary top-tier powerhouses, the Evil Rat is a preparatory evil god. It only appeared in the world prematurely due to the influence of the four gods, and its strength has not yet fully matured.

Nevertheless, its status as an evil god remains unchanged. Although its strength has been weakened and suppressed, it is still much stronger than ordinary enemies of the same level.

We must confront it as we would a true evil god, and treat it with the utmost seriousness.

This point of knowledge is not surprising to anyone here.

Especially those who sat at the same round table as Kana.

"I believe everyone can see that the reason why the ratmen are in such a defensive posture is because they want to buy time for their evil god."

Because the evil rat is making up for the power it lost when it was awakened too early, and once it is successfully restored, it will become an evil god capable of unleashing its full power...

By then, we'll probably have to find a way to escape from here as soon as possible.

This is not an exaggeration; this is exactly what these vile rats are doing right now.

"Let's talk about the specifics of how to proceed. We are well aware of the seriousness of war, and we are mentally prepared for its brutality," a general said.

Blake nodded.

"Now, let me explain our general plan. The ratmen are numerous, and they have built about five defensive lines on the perimeter."

These five defensive lines intersect each other, and combined with the terrain advantage, they are sufficient to form an effective barrier against us.

Furthermore, due to the interference of the evil rats' power, once we breach its defenses, we can forget about quickly transporting troops through the portal. The magical energy there is chaotic, making spatial teleportation extremely unstable and unreliable.

As he spoke, five different nodes appeared on the map, perfectly surrounding the main area of ​​the ratmen.

"Therefore, our initial plan is to launch attacks along seven different routes, targeting the ratmen's five defensive lines, so that they cannot attend to other directions at the same time."

At sea, we will deploy newly built ships to drive the ratmen out of the sea.

Once we gain naval superiority, all coastlines will be under our control, allowing us to outflank the ratmen and open up a new battlefield.

Only in this way can we have a chance to break through the ratmen's internal defenses and breach their defensive perimeter while minimizing casualties.

What follows is a more detailed explanation. However, this was only the initial planning for the war.

In the event of a real war, all sorts of unexpected situations are bound to arise, so this is only a rough, macro-level plan.

Its focus is more on assigning tasks to each faction and bringing together their troops to avoid dispersing their forces.

Although the Order Covenant is a united organization composed of multiple forces, it is not logical that they would be so united, and the command system may also have problems.

But don't forget, the Night's Watch is involved. As long as Night's Watch members join the army, the command system can be quickly connected and integrated around them.

Moreover, the Night's Watch currently holds an absolute advantage in leading the forces of various factions. Both their past achievements and the level of training of their troops are sufficient proof of this.

Other factions had no objection to this.

The meeting ended quickly.

Those attending the meeting will quickly return to their respective territories via a portal to begin war mobilization and preparations.

This was a total war, and when the Night's Watch decided to wage it, it was impossible to hide it from the eyes of all sides.

Therefore, they can prepare in a grand manner, after all, their war with the ratmen has already reached this crucial step.

Compared to the formidable defensive line formed by these large numbers of ratmen, schemes and tricks are no longer effective; in the face of sheer numbers, weaknesses are easily revealed.

The only way to break through their defenses is to rely on overwhelming strength.

……

The city surrounding the tower.

The huge city began to operate rapidly, with large quantities of supplies being loaded onto vehicles and continuously transported to the front lines.

Blake also quickly returned to the front lines via the portal; he still had much war preparation work to complete.

"How's the meeting going? Is it time for a full-scale war?" As soon as he entered the military tent, Lelia, who was inside, immediately asked.

Looking at this guy who was so enthusiastic about fighting, Blake helplessly rubbed his forehead.

"Yes, that's right. Before long, you'll be able to fight to your heart's content on the battlefield and slaughter those wretched rats."

"Ugh, I can't wait any longer, I've been so bored lately," Leilia said, stretching her body.

She felt that since she had become a legendary powerhouse, she was no longer as free to act as before.

Especially after Apis was promoted, she and her sister often had to be separated, giving the feeling that the team was about to disband.

Of course, she also knew this was because the Night's Watch's legendary ranks were currently too scarce. Didn't she see that Areris, who used to be inseparable from Cana, now had to travel all over the place on missions?

Thinking of this, Leilia looked at Blake with a face full of dissatisfaction.

"When are you finally going to advance? You're the military commander-in-chief, yet you haven't reached the legendary level. How can this be?"

Hearing Leilia's unfounded complaint, Blake scratched his head.

"Huh? What does this have to do with me?"

He was the commander-in-chief, not a general who charged into battle. His main responsibility was to arrange military deployments and discuss offensive strategies.

There's no reason for a commander to personally charge into battle; that would create chaos.

However, he quickly understood why Leilia was in a bad mood.

He explained helplessly, "I also want to advance as soon as possible, but you have to understand, I've been advancing from level three all the way to level ten, and I haven't had much time to deeply comprehend my own power."

To be honest, I'd much rather acquire skills related to group dynamics. Do you understand?

"What do you mean?"

"The power of legends cannot be explored inwards alone. As a commander and leader... barring any unforeseen circumstances, I will continue to be responsible for this aspect of affairs in the future."

So I've been thinking about whether I could become a special legendary powerhouse, like a military genius, capable of granting my troops some kind of status advantage.

"what?"

Leilia gasped in surprise.

Is this still possible?
Is it really possible? (End of Chapter)
