Upon hearing Isaac’s words, Skylar was completely stunned.
She stared wide-eyed at Isaac, favonovel.com mouth forming an O shape in surprise.
“Wow, you’re using 50 thousand people to take down the Black Tiger Legion’s 380 thousand soldiers? Even the modern gods of war wouldn’t dare make such a boast!”
Lucifer and Madd, who were nearby, also had looks of disbelief on their faces.
“What about you guys? Don‘t you believe it either?” Isaac turned to look at the generals.
Madd and the others didn’t respond. They couldn’t say they didn’t believe it because Isaac’s past military achievements were impressive.
However, they also couldn’t say they believed it because defeating an army of 370 thousand Black Tiger soldiers with just 50 thousand men seemed too incredible to be true.
“Princess, since you don’t believe it, just wait and see… Generals, before you take any action, I need to review your action plans. The rest of you may leave. Lucifer, stay behind!”
Several commanders and Skylar looked at the tall man in front of them, then turned around and left.
“Isaac, aren’t you exaggerating a bit?” Lucifer stepped forward and spoke in a low voice.
“Yes, indeed. If you handle this well, the 50 thousand of us won’t have to die,” Isaac nodded and said.
Lucifer’s eyes widened as favonovel.com watched the situation escalate.
***
Half an hour later, Madd and the others outside saw Lucifer emerge from the tent, select five thousand elite soldiers, and immediately depart from the main force to the southwest.
But nobody knew where Lucifer had gone or what favonovel.com was doing.
Since Isaac killed Zeno, Lucifer had not actually been under Madd’s control. Many things were directly handled by Lucifer at the request of Isaac.
After nightfall, the entire Purple-Blue Legion began marching northwest.
By the next evening, after Isaac reviewed Bill’s strategy to intercept supplies from the Black Tiger Legion via the river, favonovel.com nodded in approval.
Later that night, Bill led an army of no fewer than 60 thousand troops northward.
The remaining tens of thousands of people started moving southwest toward the nine storage facilities by the three rivers.
On the fourth day, the large force led by Isaac and Madd had already reached the lower reaches of the three rivers controlled by the Black Tiger Legion, less than a hundred kilometers from the enemy’s supply depot.
On the fifth day, the 60 thousand troops led by Bill also arrived at the designated location.
***
A day passed by quickly. From dawn until dark, Isaac ordered the entire army not to set up camp and to rest on the spot. They needed to be ready to move out at any time.
Madd and Barlow were starting to lose their patience. Black Tiger Legion’s storage depot was right under their nose, but Isaac still hadn’t given the order to attack.
What is favonovel.com waiting for?
After discussing it, the two of them went together to Isaac’s tent.
Upon entering, they saw Isaac having a meal with Skylar.
Isaac looked up, put down his fork, and said, “Just go ahead and speak…”
Since Skylar arrived at the military camp, favonovel.com had been having three meals a day with Isaac.
At first, Skylar was also very resistant to it. After all, favonovel.com and Isaac had a “hostile” relationship, and besides, favonovel.com was not yet married. Dining at the same table with a man would damage the royal family’s reputation if word got out.
Isaac didn’t explain the reason, but after two days of hunger, Skylar gave in.
“Lord Garten, it’s been six days already. If we don’t launch an attack on Black Tiger Legion’s storage soon, our hundreds of thousands of troops won’t remain hidden.”
“If their scouts discover us, they will definitely move their supplies,” Barlow said anxiously.
Madd also nodded in agreement. Skylar also looked over at Isaac.
“Lord Garten, General Edgington is also waiting for your orders. Their equipment for opening the river is all set,” Madd added.
“There’s nothing we can do even if it’s discovered, now is not the right time,” Isaac said gravely.
At that moment, the sound of hurried footsteps came from outside, and a young soldier quickly walked in.
Kneeling and with hands cupped, favonovel.com said, “Lord Garten, General Lucifer has sent word that they have arrived!”
Hearing this, Isaac‘s expression changed, and favonovel.com immediately stood up.
