Otherwise, you can find another savior.

However, the Wind and Wing clans, which suffered losses, asked the Fang clan to allocate some of its combat power to assist them.

Once the Fang Clan is gone, a small force of northern goblins will be enough to kill the remaining forces of the Wind and Wing Clans.

Grimm sat on a nearby wooden post, yawning lazily as he watched the goblins quarrel.

In name, he is a companion of the Savior and a messenger responsible for delivering messages.

Besides, Grimm didn't like the way these goblins fought, nor did he like the fighting in the goblin kingdom.

If he has to fight, he will fight with all his strength.

But it just so happened that Shiomi had the same idea.

Therefore, during the years that he followed Shiomi and the others, Grimm spent most of his time collecting intelligence in various places and rarely went to the battlefield in person.

The same is true now. The goblins know that Grimm is listening, but they don't want to ask for his opinion. They just plan to let Grimm convey the plan to the Savior and his party after the discussion is over.

"As long as we defeat the northern goblins on the battlefield, the Wind and Wing clans will have nothing to worry about!" Reinek reiterated his idea.

He appeared as Yaling and has been leading the Ya clan for more than 200 years.

He is very confident in his own strength.

Even though he lost to the sage, Reinek simply thought that the opponent was special and that his own strength as a fairy was not weak.

"There's nothing wrong with leading by example, but have you ever thought about why the northern goblins fought so fiercely this time, easily capturing Manchester, a frontline fortress?"

Shiomi's voice was heard, and their appearance attracted the attention of the patriarchs of the three clans.

"Why ask? I told them this time that the northern goblins' army is a special hybrid of humans and goblins," Grimm said, "but these guys didn't listen to a word I said."

"It's just a few more humans. How much use can it have?" Reinek stated the reason for ignoring it in front of Xi Jian.

"I am also a human being." Xijian said without hesitation.

The goblins in the camp were suddenly in an uproar, but they didn't dare to say anything.

A human who cannot even defeat Reinecke is not human.

"What advice do you have, sage?" Reinek asked hurriedly.

The one with the bigger fist speaks more reasonably.

After losing to Xijian, Reinek has completely convinced the sage and only follows Xijian's lead.

"Don't worry, the Earth Clan will be here soon. Let's wait until the military supplies arrive."

Along with Shiomi's voice, a fairy messenger ran in and reported the news of the arrival of reinforcements from the Earth Clan.

Chapter 62 Decision

The reinforcements of the Earth Clan, led by Hector, were able to arrive at Gloucester on the front line only about a day later than Shiomi, which was the result of an accelerated march.

The result of being ambushed by the northern fairies, coupled with the news brought by Shiomi, made Hector realize that he could not delay any longer, so he tried his best to urge the army of the Earth Clan to speed up.

The Earth Clan excels at forging weapons and armor. Their arrival means that the armaments lost in the battles so far can be replenished, and the existing weapons and armor can be repaired.

This quickly boosted the morale of several other clans.

The Fang Clan is no exception.

Just because Reinek is so powerful that he doesn't need weapons, doesn't mean the Fang Fairies don't need them either.

"I have some bad news. This time, besides the leader Mab, there's also a human among the northern goblins," Grimm told Shiomi. "You should know that this is Mab's lover from ten years ago."

In a tent inside the camp, the Savior and his party held a private meeting.

Xijian crossed his arms and said, "We've only heard rumors about this. We've never had the time to go there, so we haven't even seen who they are."

"It doesn't matter who he is. The important thing is that as Mab's husband, he is her right-hand man." Grimm smiled cunningly.

There were rumors that Mab was imitating Ash's behavior regarding the marriage, but they had no way of verifying it.

"My husband is also my right-hand man." Jian said at this time, "No, it should be the other way around."

"That's not the point, you two..." Grimm couldn't bring himself to complain about Ash's priorities. "This time, from organizing the northern elves' army to formulating strategies and tactics, it was all done by that man."

As soon as these words came out, Shiomi immediately realized the problem.

Although the life span of humans in Britain is short, it is because they were manufactured with inherent defects.

But the overall qualifications of humans are quite good.

It is precisely because of this that humans can create a culture that fairies cannot create and provide fairies with countless enjoyments.

If a human being with extraordinary talent, gifted in marching and fighting, happened to appear among them...

Mab laid the answer before everyone.

She discovered such a person, was attracted to him, and then allowed him to fully display his talents.

"Ten years ago..." Xi Jian calculated the time, "And they got married. How old is that human now?"

Grimm shrugged. "If the information I gathered is correct, he's already thirty years old."

“…If that’s the case…” Shiomi pursed her lips.

"Does my husband intend to let the coalition forces and the northern goblins drag on until Mab's husband dies?" asked Jian.

"It's hard to say. What if it's just fake news? In fact, that man is still far from reaching the end of his life span of thirty." Xijian shook his head. "If this war drags on, the southern goblins will undoubtedly be defeated."

"Several clans have different opinions. The Fang Clan wants to win in one battle, the Wind and Wing Clan want to preserve their strength, and the Earth Clan is the last clan to arrive, and although it has not been blamed because we are suppressing it..." Zhi could see that the clan alliance was in a state of disunity.

At this point, Xi Jian called out to Ba Wan Xi, "Ba Wan Xi, bring the map over here."

"Yes."

Bawan Xi immediately ran to the shelf nearby with the map in his arms, hung it on the shelf, and pressed down the four corners with something.

Gloucester's geographical location is similar to that of Manchester, both facing the plains and backed by mountains.

Heading east from Gloucester, you can go north to contact Manchester, or go south to contact Salisbury of the Wind Clan.

"How about using Gloucester as bait to lure the northern goblin army deeper into the heartland?" Grimm asked. "Mab has a similar understanding of the situation. They should prioritize severing Gloucester's ties with other cities."

"Defeat them one by one." Jian glanced at the remaining clan territories.

Mab's strategy was clear: conquer each city in turn from north to south.

The fall of Gloucester meant that the northern goblins could start from here and attack from both the north and south routes at the same time.

The southern clans will no longer be able to enter the northern plains, and their strategic space will shrink further.

"Contract our defenses and draw the northern goblin army deeper." Shiomi's finger touched the central plains. "When the northern goblins, while keeping an eye on Gloucester, cut off the central plains—"

"The coalition forces of the four clans will attack from three sides: Gloucester, the west side of the Great Hollow, and Salisbury." Ash thought for a moment, "But our forces are limited..."

"This isn't an ordinary war." Shiomi looked at Ash. "As individuals, our presence and combat power will overturn conventional battlefield thinking."

Grimm smiled playfully. "Are you planning to have the allied clans attack from three sides while your wife and I head straight for Mab's base camp and execute a decapitation operation?"

"No?" Xi Jian asked, "You've been on a real battlefield in your life, so you know better than me if it's okay."

"Of course you can," Grimm said, "but you have to act quickly. If you're too slow, splitting your forces into three groups will mean your strength will be dispersed. By then, the entire southern goblin army will be wiped out, and you won't have killed Mab yet."

Shiomi stroked the raised patterns on her robe.

"That's right."

"But sage, you and the witch are famous. If the northern goblins have arranged scouts to keep an eye on your movements..." Bawan Xi stood up and expressed his concern.

"You're saying that if Ash and I don't show up on the battlefield, Mab will conserve his strength and fight a war of attrition with us?" Shiomi agreed. "That's something we have to take into consideration."

At this time, Jian looked at Bawan Xi and asked, "Could it be that this child actually has a talent in this area?"

"What's the matter, Lady Witch, do you want to accept a disciple?" Xijian asked with a smile.

"I've never taught students, but after the war, Britain should be quiet for a while." Ash thought for a moment. "Bavan Xi, what do you think?"

Bawan Xi lowered her head shyly: "I, I am just a low-level fairy. How can I ask the witch lady to guide me personally?"

"Hehe, if you ask me, you should first find a way to correct her inferiority complex." Tetrot made a joke.

"Magic is a technique that uses self-awareness to interfere with external phenomena. If you lack confidence, the effect will be very poor." Grimm also looked relaxed.

The sound of relaxed conversation and laughter gradually rang out in the tent.

Shiomi walked to the door and lifted the curtain.

The Black Knight and Reinek were waiting outside the tent.

"We have a battle plan, let's prepare to pass the order."

Chapter 63: Summer War

Mab, who was leading the northern goblin army south, received news from scouts on the way.

The armies of the Fang and Wind clans withdrew from Gloucester, the territory of the Wing clan, retreating east and south respectively.

Only the Earth Clan remained in Gloucester.

This news surprised Mab a little.

According to the plan, she was actually prepared to fight a tough battle and defeat the coalition forces of the four clans in one go to avoid subsequent troubles.

"Could it be that because our army is too powerful, internal strife has broken out among the southern goblin clans?"

Mab said thoughtfully as he sat in his chariot.

"No, I think it's possible that they're retreating on purpose to draw our troops into pursuit, and then set an ambush on the retreat route."

The man sitting in the chariot with him - Mab's lover - expressed his understanding.

"Among the southern goblins, there are some who can fight." Mab agreed and asked his lover for his opinion. "What do you think we should do next, Kenlak?"

"I don't think this was the Confederate Army's idea..." Kenlake thought quietly, "The last time the Savior and his entourage appeared was in Manchester."

"Is this another trick of Ash?" Mab was a little dissatisfied.

This time, she led the northern goblins to defeat all the goblin clans in the south and re-established her own goblin kingdom. Mab did not allow anyone to stop her.

"It would be better to split the troops into three groups. The main force will attack Gloucester, and the other two groups will chase Feng Heya's retreating troops, but try to avoid fighting." Kenlak suggested to take advantage of the situation.

"That's a good idea, let's do it!" Mab clapped his hands.

The messenger immediately came to the carriage and received Mab's order.

"You look tired. Do you want to take a rest?" Mab noticed that Kenlak looked a little tired.

"No, I'm fine." Kenlake shook his head. "It's just that I've been fighting for days and I've been overthinking it."

"That's good. Don't exhaust yourself." Mab's tone turned serious. "We agreed to win this war together. You must witness my coronation. Don't disobey."

"I try my best……"

Afterwards, as Mab had arranged, the northern elf army split into two detachments to pretend to chase the retreating Fang Clan and Wind Clan, while she personally led the main force and began to attack Gloucester.

Gloucester, which has the support of the Earth Clan, is also the core territory of the Wing Clan. Its defense is much stronger than Manchester.

The northern goblin army began to attack the city at dawn the next day and fought for three days, but still failed to break through Gloucester's defenses.

Mab, who had not expected Gloucester to be so difficult to deal with, gradually lost her patience, but Kenrack repeatedly persuaded her to stay behind.

After all, the Gloucester garrison was just an ordinary army, not much different from the northern goblins, so there was no need for her to go into battle in person.

Indeed, as long as Mab goes into battle, he can rely on overwhelming force to allow the army to successfully break into the city.

But Kenlake was worried about the rear.

Once Mab is gone, no one knows where the savior Jian, who has not yet appeared, will emerge from and launch an attack on the central army.

After the summer came, the weather became increasingly hot. The three-day siege had been ineffective. Not only Mab, but even the army of northern goblins began to get impatient.

There were no new changes in the two groups that were pursuing the retreating enemy troops. The Wind Clan and the Fang Clan were both trying their best to retreat.

Just as the weather turned cloudy in the afternoon and the temperature was not so hot, when Mab ordered the attack on the city again, he suddenly heard the army behind him start to fall into chaos.

"What's going on?!" Mab asked immediately.

With the help of Kenlak, her army was not only well-trained, but also a mixture of fairies and humans, with combat effectiveness far exceeding that of the southern fairy army.

But now things suddenly became chaotic without any warning, which made Mab feel more abnormal than angry.

Before the soldiers could report the news, she could already see a man charging into the battle line, throwing the originally orderly northern army into chaos.
