Chapter 204: An egg
"Are you sure we can actually take them down with just this many troops—and that Fortress on top of it?" Ethan frowned, clearly unconvinced.
And this wasn’t even about personal feelings anymore.
That Fortress was a serious problem. Whether it was there or not made all the difference in the world.
No exaggeration—if that Fortress wasn’t in play, the enemy forces from the Otherworld wouldn’t even be a real threat. But now that it was there? His chances of winning had just plummeted.
Hell, it felt like he didn’t even have a chance anymore.
"A full-on assault won’t work," Darek said calmly, his eyes glinting with thought. "But we can go around it."
He paused, then added, "The Otherworld’s resources are extremely limited. That means their ability to resurrect fallen units is weak. All we have to do is block the chokepoints and wear them down using Legendary Units, flying troops, and long-range attacks..."
"If we drag this out long enough, once their treasury runs dry—no gold, no resources—they won’t be able to bring back their fallen units or their hero-class troops. At that point, the balance tips in our favor."
Ethan blinked, then the full picture of Darek’s plan clicked into place.
Basically, it was the classic slow-boil strategy—cook the frog without it realizing.
The Otherworld and that Fortress might be tough to crack, but they had nowhere to run.
