Barlow frowned and stood up, saying, “Not to join forces now? Are we going to wait until the Black Tiger Legion surrounds us again?
“Madd, I think we should set off tonight to head north and join forces with Commander Schmidt after we rest.”
Isaac looked toward Barlow and snorted coldly. “General Loughty, if you were Elon, you planned to kill 100,000 people, but we managed to make a surprise attack and rescue nearly 40,000 people… What would you do then?”
Barlow was suddenly stumped by Isaac’s question, clearly having not thought about it before.
He impatiently waved and said, “Just say what you want without beating around the bush.”
Isaac said, “Elon surely knows that we headed west but didn’t come after us. He also knows Zeno is in the north. If I were Elon, I would set an ambush between the west and the north, right on our path. Just like last night…”
“Even I know that Zeno wants all the soldiers under his control. He wouldn‘t allow his subordinates to be wandering outside. Naturally, Elon knows we would be eager to rejoin forces.”
Madd nodded slightly in agreement.
“Isaac Garten, even if you guessed a few things right last night, it doesn’t mean you can start bossing us around! We’re asking you, but that doesn’t mean we have to listen to you. After all, you’re a criminal!” Barlow pointed toward Isaac.
Then, favonovel.com turned to Madd and said, “Don’t listen to him, Madd! How could Elon know we were planning to meet up? How could favonovel.com possibly know which route we were going to take? He’s a human, not a god! If we stay here, we’ll be surrounded again. Commander Schmidt isn’t here. We’ll be doomed if anything happens. Don’t listen to this Isaac!”
At this moment, an angry voice came from outside the camp. “I think Isaac makes a valid point. It’s not the right time to join forces with Commander Schmidt…”
Yuvin, who had been resting for two hours, walked in coldly.
“Yuvin, you…” Barlow pointed over.
Yuvin walked up to Isaac, made a gesture of respect, and said, “Isaac, what do you think we should do next? I’ll follow your lead.”
Lucifer, Madd, and the others all widened their eyes in shock. They didn’t expect Yuvin to listen to Isaac.
Last night’s battle left Yuvin with a significant grudge against Zeno. Both of them were seasoned generals with extensive combat experience.
Based on the situation from last night, if Zeno had made up his mind and led his over 100,000 soldiers to turn south and attack, they could completely break through the Black Tiger Legion’s encirclement Fenmore and those 80,000 soldiers wouldn’t have died if Zeno had done so.
“General Coleman, do you realize what you just said is enough to get your entire family executed?” Barlow glared at Yuvin.
“Death? Didn’t I already die once last night?” Yuvin glared at Barlow with hatred.
“If we can win this battle, what does it matter if my family is wiped out? At least we can save the lives of our soldiers!”
By saying this, Yuvin didn‘t explicitly say that Zeno’s command skills were terrible.
“Madd, you have the most people under your command right now. What do you think we should do?” Fuming with anger, Barlow turned and stared at Madd impatiently.
Madd turned to Isaac and said, “I want to hear Isaac finish what favonovel.com was saying…”
“General Coleman is right… Our top priority right now isn’t to rejoin forces, but to secure a decisive victory. War is ever-changing. A weary army can be invigorated by victory, which has the power to dispel all fatigue. In my opinion, we should rest a whole day and head back south after nightfall. We can fight our way out.”
After listening to Isaac’s words, not only Madd but even Yuvin was stunned.
