Lear calmed his mind, put away the War Intent Chains, and without lingering further, he moved directly to Katana.

Controlling the vine-like body, he walked out of Katana’s City Hall and called for Isa.

Before long, the figure of the Dark Night Elf leader quietly appeared.

With the right hand over the chest, she bowed respectfully.

"Your Majesty..."

Lear nodded and spoke softly.

"Are you ready to go to war with the Wild Pantheon?"

Though the tone was calm, the underlying murderous intent made the surrounding air grow tense.

Isa perked up, speaking in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, our war sabers have been honed sharp enough."

"All various military supplies are ready and await your command at any moment!"

The tone carried a chilling sense of killing intent.

It was time for those unwary beings to feel the swamp’s edge!

The Dark Night Elves were not known for kindness; they were synonymous with slaughter and death in the Underworld.

Last time, being bullied by the Wild Pantheon left a festering rage inside her.

"Good, convene the army’s upper echelons for a meeting... those bastards need to be eradicated."

After the military’s numbers swelled, a hierarchical management system was officially implemented.

The highest level was the Governor-General, the primary leader responsible for the army operations, appointed during wartime, with a squadron-sized staff group as the peacetime organization.

The second level—the Legion Commander, commanding a legion of ten thousand, with five Deputy Commanders set.

The next level below is the Commanding Officer, leading a battalion and having three Deputy Commanders.

Following that are the Squadron Leaders and Team Leaders, each with three deputies.

There were also ancillary departments like the Communications, Logistics, and Medical departments.

A massive army numbering in the hundreds of thousands could not be managed by just a few individuals.

After grading, the army became more formalized... these positions were previously filled by someone, but are now explicitly defined.

Overall, looking at it, although the system is still quite simplistic, the most suitable system is the best.

An overly complicated command system is also not suitable for Weilu City at present.

Moreover, it provided the warriors below with an opportunity for upward mobility... although they are absolutely loyal to Lear, they are intelligent beings, and if their enthusiasm is dampened, it inevitably impacts morale.

Now with this, offering room for advancement, the army became a flowing stream where everyone has the chance to rise.

The previously established merit system can now also be used synergistically.

An hour later, in Weilu City’s highest council chamber, the atmosphere was grim.

Lear sat composedly in the primary position.

Below, Isa, and over a hundred military leaders responsible for commanding the Dark Night Elf and Half-Elf Legions, as well as the Cold-blooded Cavalry Legion, were all present.

Sweeping a glance over the towering number of high-ranking officials also conveyed the current strength of Weilu City’s military.

Isa was the first to stand up, gesturing to the sand table in front, which clearly marked all the territories of the Wild Pantheon in the Original Plane.

"Your Majesty, according to the latest intelligence, the Wild Pantheon occupies three main cities within two hundred kilometers north of the Long Thorn Mountain Range."

"They are Bear Claw Fortress, Eagle’s Nest Mountain, and their main city—Heart of the Wild."

With slender fingers, she traced over the sand table, pointing to one miniature wooden city model.

"Bear Claw Fortress is their forward bastion, manned by the God of the Bearmen, with over 200,000 Bearman Legion stationed."

"At the same time, the Titan War Pigs, as the heavy siege unit, are also stationed there."

"This is Eagle’s Nest Mountain... a perilous geographic stronghold, the domain of the Hawk God, possessing a massive Eagle Knights Legion responsible for maintaining air supremacy."

"Their army’s exact size is unclear, but it’s at least over 100,000!"

"Their main city, Heart of the Wild, is the most fortified, commanded personally by the God of the Wild and the Stars... all the Wild Pantheon troops congregate under him, with the Centaur army and Stag Knights being the main forces, and here lies a space rift connecting to the Main Plane."

"The three cities are interdependent; once one of them is attacked, the other two can immediately provide support."

"Moreover, they can summon endless reinforcements from the Main Plane through the space rift at any time."

Isa concluded.

"A strong attack on any city may lead to a protracted war of attrition... our best strategy now remains to sever their space rift and block their reinforcements’ entry."

Lear nodded.

His gaze fell on the sand table, lost in thought.

In war, it’s always about competing hard power, but advanced planning can achieve localized superior versus inferior, resulting in victory.

As his thoughts wandered, the Intelligence System suddenly refreshed.

[You have resolved to eliminate the Wild Pantheon’s forces in the Original Plane before their second assault on Weilu City. An additional piece of intelligence has been acquired—due to the Wild Pantheon’s gods being in the Abyss, external contact is impossible. Bear Claw Fortress has already been considered an expendable piece by the overseer at Heart of the Wild. Eliminating the fortress before advancing to Heart of the Wild can greatly increase the chance of success, eliminating the threat from the rear of being besieged.]

Lear’s eyes gleamed as he read the system prompt.

Marvelous, with this intelligence, there’s no reason not to target the Wild Pantheon.

Isa continued at this moment.

"Your Majesty, the Bear Claw Tribe is at the forefront. Though their numbers are not insignificant, capturing them is not difficult... avoiding them later on makes it easy to be attacked, and also challenging to evade their eyes and ears."

Lear nodded.

"Since we can’t bypass, we’ll take Bear Claw Fortress first!"

His voice was steady and powerful.
