“Head back south and fight our way out? Hah, Isaac, are you serious? Tell me, how are we supposed to defeat an army of 500,000 soldiers?” Barlow showed extreme sarcasm.
Isaac said seriously, “We won’t face 500,000 soldiers. As I mentioned earlier, Elon will send soldiers to set an ambush between the northwest. At least 200,000 soldiers will be there… We’re going to charge back and attack Elon’s camp.”
He was suggesting to attack the enemy commander’s camp straightforwardly.
Madd shook his head. “That‘s not feasible. First, we only have 100,000 soldiers, and quite a few of them are injured. Second, we don’t have accurate intelligence. We have no idea where the enemy’s main camp is located.”
“General Pedersen, given the current balance of power between us and the enemy, when will you have a chance that guarantees victory? As for intelligence, I’ll get it from Remus Malin… Once you fall behind, you’ll continue to lag. If you miss this chance, it’ll be extremely difficult to get another one. Elon’s military skills are at least twice stronger than Zeno’s.”
After hearing Isaac’s words, Madd also fell into deep thought.
“Madd, I‘ll listen to Isaac. What favonovel.com said makes sense. Once we’re passive, we’ll be passive at every step… We have hundreds of thousands of soldiers under our command, which means hundreds of thousands of families. His Majesty relies on us to repel the enemy, not to sit around waiting for death!” Yuvin shouted excitedly.
Swinging his fist, favonovel.com looked over at Madd.
Madd pondered for a long time before looking up at Isaac. “If we suffer a crushing defeat in this battle, we’ll all die along with you.”
Isaac smiled. “Then pass down the orders. Make sure all the soldiers get a good rest and eat well. We’ll march after nightfall.”
After saying that, favonovel.com gestured to Lucifer and turned around to walk outside.
“Unbelievable! Madd, Yuvin, you guys are so foolish! How can you, as commanding generals of the mighty kingdom, take orders from a criminal?! Not to mention Commander Schmidt. If this news reaches His Majesty, you guys won’t escape death either!” Barlow glared at the two people in front of him.
“General Loughty, haven’t we already dedicated our lives to the country? Compared to the lives of thousands of soldiers, it doesn’t matter if we die!” Madd looked up at Barlow.
The latter, left speechless by the remark, had no choice but to leave in a huff.
***
In Lucifer’s camp, Remus, one of the four major commanding generals of the Black Tiger Legion, was seriously injured and guarded inside a tent, bound with a spiritual energy-suppressing rope.
Seeing Lucifer and Isaac enter, the two lieutenants immediately bowed and walked out.
Remus immediately squinted upon seeing Isaac.
“Isaac Garten? You never appeared in the Kingdom of Vriweth. Where did you come from?” Remus asked sharply, breathing rapidly.
After being injured and captured by Isaac on Black Wind Mountain last night, Remus was held by Lucifer. He followed the team south for a quick strike and retreated west to this location.
Even Remus found this tactic to be quite shocking.
They were able to succeed last night because they timed everything perfectly. They broke the siege right before the Black Tiger Legion, which was lying in ambush to the north, could arrive. Afterward, they didn’t stay to fight and quickly retreated.
All of this happened due to Isaac’s means.
“You don’t have the right to question me now. Instead, I have a few questions for you. If you don’t answer or try to hide anything, you’ll know the consequences…”
A blood-curdling scream, like the cry of a beast being slaughtered, abruptly came from the tent.
Standing outside, Cordero and Lachlan both got goosebumps when they heard it.
They exchanged glances, and Lachlan whispered, “Isaac is even more impressive than Commander Schmidt… He captured an enemy’s commanding general and saved 40,000 of our soldiers. Didn’t General Coleman think the same? I wonder what Commander Schmidt would think if favonovel.com found out…”
“I don’t care what favonovel.com thinks. As long as I can win big battles and get home early to my family, I’ll follow Isaac. We’ll only die for nothing by following Commander Schmidt!” Cordero said angrily.
