Chapter 174: Imperial Intervention (2) (2/2)
“That’s right The loser will forize to the winner…”
“The loser will do whatever the winner wants”
Marquis Maroon interrupted before Duke Sebastian could finish Marquis Burkel’s eyes glinted at that
“You, you really mean that?”
“Why? You scared?”
“Ha… No way”
“Wait a minute, both of you, calm down…”
Before Duke Sebastian could stop them, Marquis Burkel responded to Marquis Maroon
“If I win, then you’ll dance naked in front of ht it’ll be If they learned that the stuck-up Marquis Hailey Maroon will be shaking her ass in front of them, then all the ht”
“Look here, Marquis Burkel, don’t be ridicul…”
Duke Sebastian tried to stop them but it was useless
This time, it was Marquis Maroon who spoke up
“Fine But if I win, I’ll peel off your skin, and pour salt on you, then hang you out in the square I’llyour suffering, so be prepared
“Fine Let’s see you try, you bitch!”
“Scuh silently as he listened to the two of theive up’
He was tired ofand decided to just let them do whatever they wanted Either way, it was the Co the war, so he’ll just declare it a draw Honestly, neither was really planning on doing it…hopefully Anyway, it was iether Since he had been planning on dividing the ar to lose
“Dismissed”
Duke Sebastian told thehed as the two left
“Really, the young people these days don’t hide anything fro this old lass of wine, but then…
“Duke Sebastian, why am I not the spearhead? Why do Marquis Maroon and Marquis Burkel get to fight first?”
Marquis Ryan Catel ca, he was also dissatisfied And Duke Sebastian…
“Gah, stop!”
He shouted back This hy the leader on-site was always tired
Disregarding the internal strife, the Imperial Army’s battle formation was decided 20,000 troops would be led by Marquis Hailey Maroon froht and 30,000 troops would be led by Marquis Matthias Burkel froe army of 100,000 would be personally led by Duke Hector Sebastian frouard with 50,000 troops
Of course, while the Ifried hadn’t been lazy; he had been straightening out histime Thanks to his extraordinary victory as he crossed the border, he had easily taken over six territories The lords of the territories had all fled and the people living in thefried In addition to all that, his troops were quickly increasing thanks to the support of the Republicans co on, he continued to observe the enemy’s movements Naturally, he would knohat the enemy’s troops consisted of and in which direction they would be leading their troops Siegfried i with his staff
“This is the approximate size and information of the enemy’s advance If you have any opinions, speak up”
When Siegfried’s explanation was over, one of his staff spoke
“If the enemy deliberately splits up their army, then I think it would be best for us to join forces and defeat them one by one, sir”
“Defeat theht and left flanks only have 20,000 and 30,000 troops respectively If we dealt with one of them first…”
“Then their central army will immediately speed up their movements”
“…Sir?”
“If they did that, ould you do? If we attacked either the right or the left flank first, and the enemy’s central army increased their speed and attacked an unprotected location, what are you going to do?”
“…That’s… um…”
When he couldn’t continue, another staff member spoke up
“This is an occupied territory Since we don’t have a foothold, why don’t we leave it empty and attack the left flank first?”
“That’s unreasonable We are definitely occupying land, but we’ve already established a stronghold, and there are thousands of Republican co here every day In the back, there is also non-co hard ondaily supplies for us”
“Then what should we do? Then should ait until the eneets closer?”
“No, that’s not it, but we should eliminate methods that we should use and choose the best option out of the re such a passive an to exchange ideas so fast it was dizzying Siegfried merely folded his arms as he listened to theathered inforuess the Efried’s eyes, this was a difficult situation Most of the military’s forces were concentrated in the center with a portion of their ar an encircle on the quality of the people carrying it out, the effectiveness of the strategy changed
Currently, Marquis Hailey Maroon and Marquis Matthias Burkel were in charge of the left and right flanks They were both Masters of the Ehts that they had personally trained to participate in the war Out of 150,000 troops in the central army, 100,000 men were conscripts froht flanks consisted of elite soldiers
If Siegfried divided his arap would expose their h the enemy’s central army’s advancement was quite sloithout a doubt, they were deliberately slowing down their speed According to Siegfried’s analysis, the ene ten days for a distance that would only take three days Why were they doing that? It could onlypressure to the to how Siegfried reacted
If Siegfried ht flank, then they would e forward and attack thein the Valence Kingdofried, that would be a troublesofried attacked the center first? That would also be a bad idea If he did that, then the left and right flank would quickly attack the main base Coht flank ht seem soing to be easy
In the end, fro any side first would be difficult He had no choice but to just watch as the eneot closer and closer Or, he co chess with someone who set up the board with a checkfried sighed
Truthfully, the only reason they had been able to set up the board like that was because it was the Ey was only possible because the E able to operate an arht in which the strong hunted the ith overwhelth The E would win
‘It’s impossible to defeat them one at a tiet closer either In that case… we can only do the sa cofried interrupted his staff st each other
“We will also divide the army”
At that, one of his staff asked hi to defeat thefried shook his head
“No, that’s not it”
Heto defeat the to divide his army into three and confront the enemy from all three sides
“That’s too reckless, Coh our arrown, they’re mostly conscripts
