Chapter 251
"Do you understand that it’s more advantageous for the defending side in a siege?"
"Well, I guess."
Although the Grasis from my time was a kingdom on the verge of collapse, like a sandcastle on a wave, there was a time when it was a powerful and prosperous nation... or so I heard.
There was even a time when the Arka Empire had to tread carefully around it, though I find it hard to believe since I’ve seen it with my own eyes.
Anyway, if it’s not a lie, there were quite a few decent military strategy books and tactical manuals in Grasis.
What Edel just mentioned was a common point in those books.
"A fortress is essentially a structure built to defend against enemy invasions."
Choosing terrain advantageous for defense, building a fortress, and even if the terrain isn’t ideal, setting up various defensive structures makes the attacking side start the battle at a disadvantage.@@novelbin@@
There are also issues like supplies, support, and morale, which only make the attacking side more at a disadvantage as time passes.
"But they don’t live in a fortress."
"That doesn’t change the fact that attacking is disadvantageous."
"Isn’t it easier than restoring it, though?"
"Well..."
Edel still gave me a skeptical look at my suggestion.
"We’re not dealing with some simple fortress. What we have to attack is far larger and much harder to destroy. And didn’t I tell you about what’s between the dimensions?"
"Something like a vortex... right?"
What do you think?
