He spoke to the nobles and instructed:
"Send the orders, construct sentry posts and fortifications along the Western Domain, and deploy more personnel to protect our logistical line. Also, inform those behind us not to take the western route, but try to move east."
"Duke, shall we still attack Augus City?"
A noble couldn't help but ask.
"Attack! Of course, we must attack! Augus City is the gateway to Fengyue Free Territory and a crucial node connecting the empire. Once we capture it, we can project our influence over this area. Even if the Elves want to make any moves, they will be constrained by us!"
"Moreover, Augus City has trade routes connecting to the central empire, which will greatly ease our logistical pressure."
Joseph said.
"But we don't have the Magic Crystal Cannon anymore..."
Spoke the worried noble.
Joseph's expression grew darker.
