"Why?" Lante looked at the old general in front of him.
"Ilotan," Corvey looked at Lante, "That is the key trade route in the Central Federation, the throat city of the central region. Most logistical supplies from the west must be transported through Ilotan to the east."
"But Ilotan is now controlled by Eric," Lante quickly moved the map to the Central Federation, "Eric won't possibly allow supplies from the Gray Stone Palace to be transported smoothly to the east."
He looked at Lante, with a touch of emotion, and said, "According to the latest news from Eric, they've faced and defeated the Mercenary Corps of Rockville Energy Group head-on, and for a short time, neither the corporations nor the Gray Stone Palace should be able to deal with them."
"I've seen those battle reports," Corvey nodded, "Their commander is very talented."
