![]() ![]() Though the Kobrook Republic did not possess geographical advantages such as the Grey Mountains, they nevertheless boasted an impenetrable iron wall against none other than the Strabus Kingdom. Should defending them become difficult, they surrender the forts with no qualms, only to attack them later with an offensive that our men likewise cannot withstand.” To those bastards, these five minor forts are not focal points that must be protected – in fact, they play the part of bait to force a war of attrition. Rather, it would become quite the grueling affair to stand against the reinforcements from the surrounding forts and the rear castles. ![]() “It would be difficult to continue occupying strongholds with such low defensive capabilities even if they were to be seized. All of them had forces of only 2000 to 3000 men stationed at them.Īnd the reason was simply because they were not large enough to house more. “I did not, but such could be naturally deduced from the data you have given me, Marquis.”Īccording to the reference material handed out by Marquis Bologna, the five minor forts did not house a considerable force. “Did you possess this information beforehand?” Most importantly, they would be constructed to be too small for stationing a sizable force.” Along those lines, the forts’ walls would be low and not quite sturdy enough to rely on. “I assume they have been intentionally constructed so that defense is difficult. “With sufficient deliberation we could capture a fort, but the greater issue is what comes afterwards. If one fort came under attack, at least two other forts could send reinforcements at breakneck speed. However, the five forts were painstakingly designed to make such endeavors incredibly painful.įirst was the distance – their positions were not decided arbitrarily, but constructed so that they could easily act as backup to one another. Ignoring the minor strongholds to attack the castles directly would leave one open to harassment from the rear by the forts’ forces. The Kobrook Republic’s defensive line had been precisely constructed to exude this effect.įirst, to attack the three main castles, the smaller forts had to be controlled. Merely capturing one stronghold would be insufficient to act as a starting point for launching a wider offensive.” The forts have been positioned so that, lest we attack one, reinforcements from the others may arrive in less than a day. “This is… I see that they have arranged the forts in quite a troublesome manner.” Viscount Sabian frowned as he surveyed the map. ‘Is that a total force of 53,000? That’s more than I thought there’d be.’Ĭonsidering that all the strength of the Republics was meant to be piling into the North, the Kobrook Republic had left a considerable force standing. Marquis Bologna handed Milton and Viscount Sabian a chart listing the enemy’s composition. ![]() “According to our intelligence, the enemy’s numbers are as follows.” It would only be possible to push the lines if at least two of these eight checkpoints were felled. If one were to penetrate while ignoring these eight gateways, their supply line would be cut off and they would be methodically exterminated. The three castles were arranged in a triangular formation while the five minor forts formed a buffer at the front. ![]() The Kobrook Republic’s defensive line consisted of three castles and five smaller strongholds. Yet the same applied for the Kobrook Republic. The five strongholds were arranged so that if any of them were to be ignored and the border was crossed, the invaders’ supply line would not be maintainable. The castles of Horn and Carnot acted as a steadfast front, while they were reinforced from behind by the equally steadfast keeps of Andemar, Bison and Lucerne. The frontline had recently begun exhibiting signs of weakness as their reserve corps began to run dry, but the Eastern Front was a fundamentally sturdy defensive curtain. Horn Castle and Carnot Castle: to these two strongholds at the very forefront of this battlefield, Milton assigned additional troops and solidified the defense in such a manner that the Republics could no longer attack as rashly. After joining the Eastern Front, Milton stabilized the lines of defense at once. ![]()
