The capital of a northern province...
The Roland army fought with the Empire's army for several days on the Pamir Plains1 in the Northern province.
Tiger's plans were simple.
Currently, the Pamir Plain was located on the way South. North of the Pamir Plains was the Thunder City. From there, there were two ways to go South. The first method was to defeat the Northern Legion main army. Then go south to capture the northern province capital, Kaka City.
The second method was to make a detour around that strong defense line. Station some ten thousand men to pin their army down here. Then lead his main army south through another passage on the west.
Tiger shook his head. The second method was simply crazy. Detour around them? It would be crazy to lead hundreds of thousands of soldiers into the enemy’s territory but avoid a decisive battle.
Tiger sighed as he rubbed his aching temple.
Translator Notes:
1. The Pamir Plains here was described as the Pamir Plateau in the previous chapter. In any case, the translated text, whether 'plains' or 'plateau', followed the author's actual words.
