But in general, it's all about one principle: farming! Farming! And more farming!

As long as he can get through various crises and has ample time and a peaceful environment to farm, his territory has unlimited potential.

It has been half a year since he arrived in the territory, and the Green Dragon invasion is the first life-and-death crisis he has encountered in these six months.

He must first survive it to qualify for farming.

So after hearing Marshal Oerstein's report, Su Li decisively said, "My Commander-in-Chief, I entrust all these 900 Knights and 3,000 Infantry Corps, a total of 4,000 troops, to you. You must immediately make defensive arrangements and prepare to go to the border outpost to have a decisive battle with Sandarion! Hilude and I will make some arrangements in the territory and will lead support to arrive there tomorrow."

Although Su Li has nearly 4,000 troops, he estimates that for tomorrow's decisive battle, the deployable forces should be only over 3,000, and at most no more than 3,500.

After all, there are too many places in the territory that need guarding, and this is not like that united nation on Earth.

The arrival of a large number of adventurers, mercenaries, and trade caravans, although it increased the number of the Free People's Corps in the territory, it also significantly raised the crime risk.

These people steal, rob, extort, and do all sorts of bad things.

If no military is dispatched to guard each strategic location, they might dare to rush into Bauhinia Manor and Heisen Castle to loot. By then, the Moon Crown Trees might be burned down, and treasures like Light-Scaled Fish, Fire Rabbits, farms, and holy sites will be looted clean.

Just guarding these holy sites requires at least 500 soldiers.

Marshal Oerstein also understands these issues and immediately replied, "Lord, I will properly arrange the entire territory's defense line and then engage in a decisive battle with the Green Dragon."

"Good, everything is entrusted to you."

After Marshal Oerstein and Rong'en Priest left, Su Li took the High-level Attendant Chief Hilude, Minister of Industry Sheriff, Minister of Agriculture Vandar, and Engineering Master Kurgan to the stone castle walls that were under construction.

The defensive construction here is crucial to the foundation of victory or defeat in the territory, so it must not stop even for a moment.

Hilude looked at the busy dwarves and ogres on the engineering site and asked, "Lord, can we block the Green Dragon's Subordinate Legion?"

Su Li frowned and glanced at the open ground below the castle where Freya Knight Commander was reorganizing and training the Half-Lion Griffin Knight Order, practicing the Half Griffin's charge tactics. Everywhere in the castle was busy because it was unclear how the Green Dragon Legion would ravage this land.

"If it were you, how would you command this monster legion?"

Hilude thought for a moment and said, "If I were the Commander-in-Chief of the Monster Legion, I'm afraid I wouldn't have the three armies crowded on one road going deep alone. Instead, I would spread the heavy troops and march out of the forest, advance on three routes at once, with the right route attacking our farms and villages on the Brionne River, setting up defenses on the plains to prevent cavalry bypassing. The left route would detour south and capture small forests one by one for geographical advantages, consolidating the front line. The middle route would personally hold our main forces, then coordinate across all three routes and act opportunistically."

Su Li nodded, as this is the tactic currently most feared by the territory. If the Two-legged Flying Dragon King Sandarion does not muster the army and relies on the monster's numerical advantage to crush Hesse Territory's army, and instead, if they attack as soon as they emerge from the forest with four legions, the situation would be dire.

If the main force of Hesse Territory gets pinned down, and a legion of two to three thousand troops flanks and destroys a large number of farms and manors in the territory, even taking Bauhinia Castle, then the army of Hesse Territory would be embroiled in a dire dilemma.

If they continue to hold the frontier post, the rear would be turned upside down. If they hastily retreat to reinforce, the main forces of the enemy would pursue and kill, leading to a great rout!

This is why Su Li wants Marshal Oerstein to immediately lead the troops to the border outpost, which is the closest to the Blood Pine Forest, to make Hesse Territory's army take the initiative, blocking the monster's legion in the ravine near the Blood Pine Forest by the Brionne River. They can't let the monsters unfold an attack line.

Later, Su Li looked at Engineering Master Kurgan and asked, "My Minister, how is the progress of the castle's construction? Can it help us fend off the Green Dragon's fangs and subordinates?"

Kurgan patted his strong chest with a loud voice and replied, "Respected Lord, castle construction is our dwarves' expertise. After stopping construction on functional buildings, the defensive facilities of the castle are almost complete. We are now focused on strengthening and heightening it, to deal with Divine Chosen Level monsters. If it's only Green Dragon's fangs at the beginning, this place's defense is as solid as gold."

Industry Minister Sheriff also nodded and said, "Lord, please rest assured, we will defend Heisen Castle. I heard that the territory's troops are quite tight; if the manpower is insufficient, we can mobilize 5 squads of Ogre Bull Warriors, each with 24 ogres to participate in the war, defending the castle."

"Ogre Bull Warriors?" Su Li raised an eyebrow; this is equivalent to the powerful warriors among the monster legions, like the Human-Skinned Wolf. A wild Ogre Bull Warrior can smash an armored Human-Skinned Wolf with a big club.

But controlling these Ogre Warriors is not an easy task.

Su Li asked, "Are their half-elf overseers willing to take them to the battlefield?"
