Chapter 2804

"What a fucking spineless coward!"

Li Ruanyu gritted her teeth.

Zhao Chi could feel Li Ruanyu's intense emotions……

Hearing profanity from her mouth was truly not easy.

Su Qin asked in confusion, "Why? Wasn't White Grass City originally ruled by nobles too? If they surrender to the werewolves… that's a dead end as well. The werewolves can't possibly keep them around."

Li Ruanyu said, "Exactly. I really don't know what those nobles were thinking… surrendering at such a critical moment. The White Grass City headquarters and the other friendly forces didn't even have time to react before being directly crushed by the werewolves plus the nobles."

Werewolves plus nobles……

This combination……

The World-Breaking Army headquarters really couldn't hold on……

Under these circumstances, it was already lucky that the World-Breaking Army wasn't completely wiped out……

Li Ruanyu continued:

"After the nobles surrendered, the central formation arrays of White Grass City all fell into the werewolves' hands, which is almost equivalent to White Grass City having fallen.

"The werewolves and nobles are still pursuing and blocking everywhere, including the Greater World and the spatial rifts.

"Under these circumstances, it's very difficult for the people on the White Grass City side to escape, so they can only temporarily hide in hidden territories.

"So the hope is that we can go provide support this year, at least tear open a gap to rescue the people.

"But our situation here is simply beyond our capability.

"Even if we grit our teeth and dispatch one or two main corps over, it still wouldn't help at all.

"We'd need to send at least 2 regiments, but how could we possibly send 2 regiments from our side right now?

"Unless we want Snow Plain City to fall too."

Zhao Chi was silently speechless.

Su Qin asked, "Sister Ruanyu, our World-Breaking Army has territories in all 4 cities, and now all 4 cities are at war. So why not concentrate our forces on one city? Wouldn't that give us a better chance of winning, and couldn't we completely drive out the werewolves and nobles? I don't really understand these things, please don't laugh at me if I say something wrong."

Li Ruanyu shook her head and said:

"How could I possibly laugh at you? I didn't know anything before either. You have to learn it bit by bit.

"If we gathered everyone together, it would indeed make our strength very powerful.

"But the problem is the enemy won't just stay put either.

"The werewolves can also gather together, and their concentrated strength is still much, much greater than ours.

"But that's not the most important thing.

"The most important thing is the formation arrays.

"After we retreat, those cities will be completely occupied by the werewolves. They can use the formation array energy to massively expand the number of lords, and their strength will only grow stronger.

"On our side, however……

"When so many of our lords gather together, the consumption of formation array energy is enormous. Relying on just a few counties and towns simply can't replenish it.

"Without formation array energy, each of our lords becomes equivalent to an isolated island.

"We can't move freely between territories, lords can't dispatch troops to support each other, and every battle can only be fought alone.

"But the werewolves can.

"This is equivalent to them being able to gang up on people anytime, anywhere.

"They were already strong to begin with, and this way they'll only get stronger.

"Our chances of winning will be even lower."

Su Qin nodded.

Then said:

"I understand all this.

"What I mean is… can we concentrate our forces, quickly capture a city, and then have the core formation array under our own control?

"Having control over the entire city's formation array, the defensive capability should be very strong, right?

"Even if our World-Breaking Army's own strength is insufficient, don't we also have many friendly forces?

"If we gather together and then take down a city, wouldn't that work?"

Li Ruanyu smiled.

Then shook her head:

"Silly little sister… you think we don't want to? We just can't do it……

"Let alone taking down a city, we can't even get the friendly forces to gather together.

"Although everyone was previously part of the Resistance Army Alliance, they weren't that united.

"After all, the Resistance Army's internal composition is a mixed bag, with all kinds of people.

"Don't forget the Heavenly King Army is also part of the Resistance Army.

"Do you think these friendly forces would give up their territories in other cities and come with us to attack an entire city?

"And there's another problem: who's in charge?

"Why should the other friendly forces listen to us?

"Stepping back a thousand paces……

"Even if those Resistance Army forces superficially agree, once it involves interests and war, everyone is very pragmatic. We really can't command them.

"They also can't truly listen to us.

"Plus, the werewolf strength and noble strength in each city aren't weak either. Even if we gather together and gain some advantage, rapidly taking down a city is basically impossible.

"And the werewolves aren't fools either; they'll transfer troops from other cities.

"So there's no way; we can only temporarily maintain the status quo."

Su Qin nodded.

In fact, she was sharp enough to see through many things at a single hint.

She could figure it out in an instant.

But she did not interrupt Li Ruanyu, letting her finish speaking.

Li Ruanyu was an instructor, so she had to speak in full, and so she said a great deal.

Zhao Chi asked: "Then are we not going to rescue them now? Can the people from White Grass City headquarters escape?"

Li Ruanyu shook her head: "It's hard, but the hardest part isn't that — it's that the werewolves are going to send reinforcements to Snowfield City. According to intelligence, at least two regiments."

This time both Zhao Chi and Su Qin were startled.

Two regiments?

This is a major event!

Zhao Chi quickly asked: "When? How long until they reach our side?"

Li Ruanyu said: "This is only intelligence from an informant on the White Grass City werewolf side. The werewolves haven't actually sent reinforcements yet. But it's almost inevitable — it's just a matter of sooner or later. Even if the werewolves don't send reinforcements now, in a few days they certainly will. White Grass City isn't far from our side, roughly about ten days."

This really was dire news.

Once two regiments of werewolves truly arrived, the strategic balance of Snowfield City would be broken in an instant.

And the werewolves' advantage would be enormous.

Then how could they fight?
