"Your Highness is right. After the Split Claw Cabal officially declared war, one-third of the captains of the Steel-Eyed Reaver Pirates chose to leave or not join the war. Among them, nearly fifty ships even chose to join the Royal Court.
, it was these people who brought detailed intelligence and information, and some chose to join the Shadow Hub, because Zargarn offered a very generous price. As long as they were willing to break away from the Steel-Eye Pirates, they would not only have permanent trade in the Shadow Hub.
Rights and settlement rights, and you can also get a large reward. In this case, Kelis Canelli currently only has about 400 warships. Your Highness, you also know that the ships of the pirate group are relatively small, and basically
They are all Corsair-class, Hellebore-class and Aconite-class, and their firepower is not superior compared to the Cabal's warships."
"So, she now hopes that the royal court will help her repel Zargarn, and then what?"
Soshyan stretched out his palm, looked at Doral, and then looked at Veronica.
"Previously, our conditions were to allow her limited autonomy, and only require authorization from the royal court for large-scale operations. At the same time, we also gave her equipment, position and other preferential treatment. However, she is still dragging her feet, and now she is being impatient.
I know I'm anxious, but there are no such good things in the world."
Veronica also nodded.
"The reason I gave her that condition was because she had a thousand ships, but now...she doesn't even have half of them left, so she certainly doesn't deserve such a condition. Sir Doral, what do you think?"
"Your Majesty, this is natural. It can keep her alive. Having a decent status means the royal court is magnanimous. But... Your Majesty, Your Highness, now we have a richer loot than the Steel-Eyed Pirates before us.
"
Soshyan looked at Doral, and the two suddenly smiled knowingly, showing a perfect understanding between the monarch and his ministers.
"Yes, the Steel-Eyed Pirates are just stragglers, no more than one, no less than one, but... the Shadow Hub is a great gift, but I don't think Aiqing is just considering the Shadow Hub now.
Right? Otherwise, how could the investigation be so clear?"
"Back to Your Highness, in fact, the Privy Council has been formulating strategies related to Comoros for a long time. It has formulated several plans in total. After discussions with Lord Ivahan and several chamberlain ministers, I felt that one of them was the most feasible and submitted it.
To His Majesty."
"Um?"
Soshyan turned to look at Veronica.
"Have it?"
Veronica blinked innocently.
"It seems so... maybe the honorable mother who received the Arakans some time ago was too busy, and I suddenly forgot about it? Besides, I don't know much about this either."
"Then where is this plan?"
"Go back to Your Highness, I have prepared another one here."
As if he had expected this, Doral pulled out another piece of soft spiritual paper from the spirit bone shaft barrel on his waist, and then asked the Phoenix Forbidden Army to forward it to Soshyan.
After Soshyan opened it, the text stood out in the air, like a display screen.
Looking at the entire plan codenamed Snake, there are roughly four steps.
The first step is to win over and divide the internal forces in Comoros, especially those conspiracy groups who are highly dissatisfied with Victor and have had great hatred. There are more than a dozen conspiracy groups listed in it, and they are all considered to be targets for winning over.
The main means are rewards, promised territory, etc. In addition, for the non-cabal forces in Comoros, such as the Witch Spirit Cult, Nightmare Temple, Mandela Clan and other forces, find ways to keep them as neutral as possible. This has actually been done
Done.
The second step is relatively new, which is to prioritize occupying and controlling other secondary hubs in the network. The main purpose of doing this is to block Victor's possible reinforcements and the enemy's escape direction. In addition, the secondary hubs are plundered by many conspiracy groups.
Active forward bases, controlling them is equivalent to strangulating the lifeblood of some cabal groups. They can use coercion to make them have to obey the instructions of the royal court. Finally, they can send troops to Comoros from the secondary hub directly from the webway.
It is much faster to enter through the entrance and exit. There are still many Victor spies inside the royal court. If troops are dispatched in a big way, they will be easily discovered. But if the troops are secretly assembled in the secondary hub and then launch a surprise attack, the situation will be different.
no the same.
But there is another key point in this step, which is to ensure that Victor will not find that the secondary hub is occupied. Generally speaking, the Black Heart Cabal rarely pays attention to those secondary hubs occupied by exiles and fringe cabal groups, but if it is blatantly
Setting up the royal court's flag will still make Victor wary. After all, this is one of the best old foxes in Ada's race.
Therefore, the Royal Court must not only control these important places, but also ensure that they still appear to be controlled by the cabal. The only way is to control and puppet a cabal to occupy these secondary hubs, which is also the focus of the plan.
The third step is when the operation is about to be launched, secretly transport the two Blackstone Fortresses to the secondary hub and assemble there. The plan of the Snake Plan is for the Royal Court to conduct a war first as a cover, and use this as a reason
Mobilize the Blackstone Fortress, and once the Blackstone Fortress is in place, immediately deploy the troops, and at the same time ask the agents in Comoros to open the channel. The Royal Court's fleet will escort the Blackstone Fortress directly to Comoros, and publicly announce that the Royal Court will only attack the Black Heart Conspiracy.
Other cabals will not be called hostile targets as long as they do not interfere.
The fourth step is to prevent Victor from jumping over the wall. Elite troops such as the Phoenix Forbidden Army must control the sealed gate of Como immediately. It is best to have the Nightmare Temple side with the Empire. The plan even proposes to allow Nightmare to serve as Kane.
The believers retain their way of life and territory, and recognize their legal status in the royal court in exchange for their support. At the same time, they also need to use bombing or psychic powers to isolate the connections between the cities of Comoros to ensure that Victor's
It is difficult to fully mobilize the power.
In fact, if we really want to go into details, the entire plan has dozens of steps, and there are many details and appendices, including the size of the troops that need to be used, and even a detailed siege simulation to analyze what areas will be used to attack.
troops, and also a plan for dealing with the Haemonculi. What surprised Soshyan here was that the Snake Plan did not agree with the destructive attitude of most residents of the Royal Court towards the Haemonculi. The plan believed that a tightly guarded prison could be built.
The Webway Prison houses these evil and deviant people. The reason is that the biological and spiritual knowledge possessed by these Haemonculi is an important asset to the Empire. It is undoubtedly a waste to abandon it casually. In the fight against the Greenskins and Tyranids,
Their knowledge and skills are very useful when waiting for enemies.
In addition, there are arrangements in the plan to deal with the conspiracy groups after the war, which is more radical than dealing with the Haemonculi - the method is to have all the senior members of these conspiracy groups go to the Asuryan Holy Fire, arrange some tactics in the middle to kill them all, and then
The excuse is that their souls have entered the arms of Asuryan and been reborn.
