Chapter 730: Chapter 487: Deployment Completed and a Minor Interlude_1
“The fourth step in our countermeasure is the enemy’s main camp.”
Wearing a slight smile and holding a command baton, Leo Ray continued, “And this is the most crucial step to completely destroy the Saint Night Army’s morale.”
Ariel Watson blinked her starry eyes in confusion and asked, “How so?”
“According to August Montgomery’s intelligence, it seems that the entire Saint Night Army has gone all out this time.”
Leo Ray moved the command baton in his hand, circling the enemy camp on the sand table and said, “That means their main base must be quite empty.”
“I see, you mean directly attacking the enemy’s base?”
Upon hearing this, Ariel Watson’s fair face revealed a clear understanding, and she exclaimed, “In this way, the Saint Night Army will be caught in a dilemma, and this will indeed greatly undermine their morale!”
“That’s not all, Mr. Lane, your true goal is to completely destroy the Saint Night Army’s food and logistical supplies, right?”
Opposite, Lord White gently stroked his grey beard and spoke.
“That’s right. Only by setting fire to the food and logistical supplies of the Saint Night Army can we completely terrify the enemy.”
Nodding to Lord White, Leo Ray spoke with a faint smile, “In this case, even if the remaining Saint Night Army successfully retreats, they would soon crumble and withdraw entirely.”
“Your Excellency is right, the amount of food consumed daily by 80,000 soldiers is undoubtedly an enormous number. As long as we can completely burn their granaries, they will have no strength to fight again!”
At this point, an enthusiastic middle-aged commander by their side chimed in, “At that time, at least in a short period of time, they would not have the ability to rise again!”
“Indeed, but even though the Saint Night Army has gone all out, there will still be a considerable number of elite forces guarding the granary.” For more chapters visit novel_fіre.net
Lord White nodded slightly, and his aged face also exhibited a hint of excitement.
He said to Leo Ray, “With the previous strength of our fortresses, we naturally had no power to attack when facing the massive enemy forces. But with your support, this will no longer be a problem!”
After speaking, Lord White stroked his beard and laughed, “I bet that Crimson Demon would never expect that our Coldflame Army’s strength has greatly grown!”
“By the time the enemy’s camp and granaries are burned and the attacks are hindered, the enemy’s will to fight will be quickly exhausted under the double blow to morale.”
Leo Ray also smiled faintly and continued, “At that time, as long as the enemy starts a hasty retreat, the soldiers from our three fortresses coming out together would surely achieve victory.”
As he spoke, Leo Ray’s gaze fell back on the burly old general on the opposite side and said, “General White, what do you think of my plan?”
Afer a moment of contemplation, Lord White exchanged glances with the other two Coldflame Army commanders, each seeing the approval in the other’s eyes.
He then said, “Mr. Lane, we have no objections to your plan. It is indeed the most stable and effective tactic at present.”
“Great, it seems that victory is within our reach!”
Upon hearing this, a joyful expression appeared on Ariel Watson’s delicate face, and she couldn’t help but feel excited.
“Your Highness the Princess, please be patient. This is just our preliminary plan. The battlefield is ever-changing, with countless variables and fleeting opportunities.”
Lord White bowed slightly to Ariel and smiled, “Besides, considering the cautious nature of the Red Devil, we still need to carefully plan every detail to ensure the success of our strategy.”
“General White is absolutely right, especially regarding the potential reactions from the enemy and our corresponding countermeasures and deception tactics. If we make a wrong move, we could easily fall from the offensive to the defensive.”
Leo Ray nodded in agreement with a slight pout, “Furthermore, since we have hidden forces, we cannot rule out the possibility that the enemy might also have some hidden trump cards.”
“So that means everything before tomorrow’s dawn is still unknown?”
Upon hearing this, the excitement on Ariel Watson’s cheeks vanished, and she couldn’t help furrowing her brow in worry.
“Don’t worry, Your Highness the Fifth Princess, just focus on your duties and leave the rest to us.”
Smiling faintly, Leo Ray pointed the command baton at the enemy’s forward camp located next to the mountains and continued discussing with Lord White, “Of course, we also have to completely destroy this place and not leave them any escape routes.”
And so, when Leo Ray and Lord White, along with the other commanders, finally determined how to utilize the two Tier 5 trump cards Taylor and Saint Night, as well as numerous potential accidents and countermeasures, they walked out of the conference hall and stood on a castle balcony.
At this point, Leo Ray noticed that the Big Sun in the distant sky had completely set, leaving only a faint orange glow from the Small Sun’s last rays of sunlight.
Looking down at the lush castle courtyard below, which was dyed red by the setting sun, Leo Ray stretched his arms and took a deep breath.
With everything ready, they only had to wait for the Saint Night Army to deliver themselves to their doorstep.
