The hint of a flush on Flynn’s cheek faded as it was replaced by a quick fly of dismayWinslet silently packed away the last piece of paperCarey, on the contrary, gazed at us three, perplexed
“Sir” The orc’s vast and deep voice resounded at the far gate of the outer garden, “Captain of your guarding troops reporting for duty”
I forced myself and offered a face of sorry for my wives, then replied, “Approach”
“Yes, sir” Malphite stood closer, “Co your iency”
“Duly noted” I nodded, “Get my horse, I’ll be with you shortly”
My wives remained silent until Malphite’s footsteps faded
“What a buht” I shook”
The ht mine across the desk
“Cohen…” I looked over, only to findwife, “You take care”
“And?” Said I
Flynn shook her head, hesitantly to say another word
But I instantly overthrew the obstacle between us, then use ather Flynn into my arms
Almost at the same time, I reached for Winslet’s waistThe action was too sudden for them to even react
As Carey came closer, three blond faces lied en face debitterness within but still, lovable
“Cohen,” Flynn lowered her eyes, whispered, “we…”
“I get itI wanted to stay a little longer” Feeling the soft body in onna take care of myself for you all”
“Promise me,” Winslet attached her hand onto my face, “come back safe”
“Yes, rew nearer, it was go time
“On my way” I retracted h they all reluctant to let go of o” I felt Winslet and Carey’s hands, “It’s o”
The two threw their asking eyes to Flynn while the latter girl’s soppy eyes under the long and curly lash of hers which contained a s struck me
“You watch our for yourself” She took a step forward abruptly and dropped a pleasantly cool and sweet kiss on my lips, “We’ll still be here when you come back”
I hated how rinned and let loose of the girls and exited their chaalloped to join the well-lit ar rapidly, wingap between my pavilion, all senior officers who had arrived before ht
I strode into the tent, towards Carlos while looseningweapon
“TellenemiesOur scouts have discovered no less than 200, 000 hostile troops” Carlos said to thein 2 ways, 80, 000 and 120, 000, all towards Dark route now”
“hell yeahThese bastards made their moves quickly” There were 2 thick red lines on the mapI strokethe way yet? How many days to Darkmoon?”
“It seems Luhrmann has paid a fortune for this operation” Carlos said with a finger pointing on the o smoothly for them, they’ll be able to make to Darkmoon border in 15~20 days”
“All I can tell is that the viceroy of the provinces they’re about to cross intend to let them passAre they still loyal to the empire or have they turned traitors, hmmm” I cursed with a lowered voice, “These bitches are still watching usNo way Luhrmann can draw this many soldiersDo we have intel on his army structure?”
“We doThe 120, 000 should be the ence said this force has refined armor and weaponsAs for the other 80, 000, they mostly consist of residual forces other empires left within Swabia after the P/A War, with low co as reinforcement in ht this battle, Carlos?”
“Sir, we should never let them even touch Darkmoon’s borderDarkmoon is our base of suppliesWithout this place, no e can fight this war” Carlos has a face of countenance which made him less of a man in his early 30s, “How much forces we have now is only able to attack one of the two, or at least press them until they withdraw”
I kept silent
“Sir, we don’t necessarily need to zero the as there’s a chance to relieve us of this situation” Continued Carlos, “The 2 forces are not equal opponentsI’m confident that they’ll abandon their operation if we rush to attack”
I paced back and forth, pondering Carlos’s advice, considering Luhrerous it would be if I drop an attack beforeany plausible conclusion
“Carlos, Luhrh he’s been a civil position in the courtier, he knows the odds of winning is not high for these 200, 000 soldiersTherefore, why did he insist on pulling this out?”
Carlos shook his head, “As a matter of fact, I don’t think Luhrs in one basketHe still has the upper hand”
“Indeed” I nodded, “He’s not stupid and hestashed away”

“Sir, you mean he has had help? The red priests?”
“Sooner or laterBut I’ht use is to draw our attention with this attack in an atte other placesOnly in this way, he buys himself time to wait for reinforcementsAs for this force of 80, 000, it’s essentially a bait”
Carlos studied the map one more time
“If either us or General Martin in Darko for the sh small, we’ll need a certain aer on one of the red lines, “These men are not Luhrmann’s so they’re expendableWhile they’ll cost us our precious suppliesIf things are as Luhrmann planned, our situation will be vital by the ti army”
“So what should we do?” Carlos asked, “We still need to help Darkmoon”
“We only have 2 provinces in totalNeither of theh our defense line is relatively short, General Martin is not a mediocre leader, which makes Darkive Luhronna lose the calm eventually”
