Upon hearing that, Cordero and Lachlan turned to look at Isaac in surprise.
They admire Lucifer for his fearless spirit and his fair treatment of subordinates. But they didn’t expect Isaac to be this formidable!
Isaac glanced at Lucifer, signaling favonovel.com not to mention those things. He looked at the two kneeling people and said sternly, “You claim that heavy armor is essential for survival. That’s complete nonsense!”
“In battles, there has never been a surefire way to guarantee survival. If you have to point to something, it’s strength and aura. The Black Desert is completely flat except for a few mountains in this area. How can any of you run with heavy armor weighing dozens of pounds?”
“If you can’t run, the enemy will attack you with weapons. Can heavy armor save your life?”
Isaac posed two questions, leaving Cordero and Lachlan staring at each other wide-eyed. They realized that it seemed to make sense.
“Cordero, come here!”
The latter stood up, walked over to Isaac, and bowed his head.
“Select 600 agile soldiers from your group. Divide them into 200 groups, each with three soldiers. Make them full in the evening. Once night falls, have them spread out across these two mountains.”
“Sir, may I ask what you want them to disperse and do?”
“Find the enemy’s commander, Elon Ramirez, and report his location to me!”
Hearing this, Cordero and Lachlan widened their eyes in shock.
“That’s the first thing! Second, find two routes from here to the nearest point in the Kingdom of Northwing. Make sure to avoid any areas near water sources along the way!”
Isaac then waved to signal two lieutenants out.
“Isaac, are you going to kill Elon Ramirez?” Lucifer looked at Isaac in astonishment.
“My mother is in Clyfford’s hands, so I have no other choice. I was originally hoping that Zeno would have some sense of awareness and cooperate with me, but it seems I can only rely on myself.”
Lucifer frowned without saying anything.
Isaac then added, “You can privately talk to a few of the generals. The Black Tiger Legion is about to launch an attack on you guys soon. I noticed that many of the soldiers seem to be only around 17 or 18 years old. Don’t let them die needlessly in this valley.”
“What do you mean?” Lucifer said as favonovel.com sat up, enduring the pain.
Isaac glanced at Lucifer and said, “You guys are having a hard time being stuck here. The Black Tiger Legion is suffering as well. The difficulty they face lies in the vast expanse of the Black Desert, which is far from the Kingdom of Easteria. It makes the supply line extremely lengthy. Moreover, their envoys sent to negotiate were recently turned away.”
He said seriously, “In five days, the Black Tiger Legion will launch a fierce attack on Zeno. If you have no way to retreat in this battle, the losses will be significant.”
Lucifer frowned tightly before shouting toward outside, “Anyone there? Help me go see General Pedersen!”
Isaac was about to speak when Lucifer frowned and interrupted, “What you said is serious. I need to go see the senior officer. Why don’t you come with me? It’s almost time for dinner anyway. General Pedersen isn’t like Zeno. He also feels helpless about Zeno’s actions.”
“Alright, I’ll go with you.” Isaac nodded, walking over to support Lucifer.
When Isaac and Lucifer entered the commanding general’s camp, they noticed that in addition to Madd, there were two other commanding generals seated inside.
One of them was the bearded general, Barlow Loughty, who had previously mocked Isaac.
