Chapter 549 - First Battle (2/2)
“I…” Lize was at a loss for words
The fox-eared young lady’s words were like a steel ha on her heart She finally realized why she had always been feeling anxious and distressed Perhaps, her subconscious h she was despising her companions Just as Miss Gillian said, they are not puppets They are humans who can think on their own feet for survival They have their own thoughts and perspectives Butthe ht Mr Rhode has putrole, but he didn’t say that I should hold the ht?</eh and she felt that she had been enlightened
This is such a simple reason, so why haven’t I realize it until now?</eency in her expression had vanished “Thank you for your reminder, Miss Gillian I think… I have a solution now…”
“You made me lose my bet with Master I will ht… I will infor matters to you, okay?”
Gillian winked cheekily, placed her hands behind her back, and hu rooh of relief She took over the intelligence report by her side and her expression becaain
“This time, I will succeed…” She muttered under her breath
Just as Gillian had predicted, or perhaps much earlier than she had predicted… the Refor the investigation result from Gillian, Garcia quickly dispatched his scouts to fish for inforathered the exact numbers on the enemies “8500”
This slovenly-dressedmilitary officer before hih the Southern Legion wasn’t entirely powerful, they had the upper hand on nuh the Cloud Summit Fortress had replenished its manpower, they had only about a few thousand troops Furthered based on the situation on the battlefield Recently, there had been plenty of ‘good news’ for the South Their granaries were destroyed and the Undead Ared in their turf… Heh Garcia was excited when he read the reports, but he didn’t expect that karot back at him The desperate Refor in one throw
But must you mess with my Fortress out of all the possibilities?
Garcia was clear that the enemies didn’t dispatch their soldiers solely to attack his Fortress because their real h his defensive line and penetrate Paphield The Cloud Summit Fortress was based in a terrible terrain After the enemies crossed the defensive line, a wide expanse of land would be awaiting theh to stop thenificant if this Fortress existed or not What was the point of the Fortress if it couldn’t protect its territory? Moreover, even though Royal Highness Lydia had dispatched 2000 reinforcements of soldiers, the quality of the private soldiers were so bad that it left Garcia chuckling bitterly
A helpless expression eed on the ‘Red Fox’s’ face only for a few seconds because he knew that he would lower the morale of his men as the Fortress Commander He quickly expressed a frivolous suys seem to be really anxious But that’s fine because this e’ll have a chance to show theht! Don’t worry, there may be a lot of theet ready Once they arrive, ill teach them a lesson!”
“Oh oh oh!”
Garcia’s words pu room They smacked the table before theh of relief, loosened his bowtie, and wiped the sweat beads on his forehead Then, he realized that an unexpected guest had stayed behind
“Oh? Isn’t this Miss Lize? Is there any ence report you’ve provided me with earlier I didn’t expect those bastards to dispatch so many men But with us and your Guild around… Yes, and that half-beast-half-Mage young lady There won’t be any problem with our Fortress, don’t worry!”
“General Garcia,” Lize stood up and approached him with an unprecedented stern expression She handed a thick pile of docu battle Please take a look”
“Oh?”
This was the first tiht into her eyes He let out a cheeky laughter and took over the papers He read through them briefly “Hey, Miss Cleric, I didn’t expect you to have such reatly Let h the papers The ‘Red Fox’ was no longer frivolous and all-snified seriousness
Theof the flipping pages Lize stood quietly by the sides, clenching the he nervously at Garcia Seconds passed and Garcia finally closed her proposal with a soft ‘ba lady sternly “Did you come up with this, Miss Cleric?”
“Yes, General Garcia The ene to take down the Fortress They merely want to restrain us because the Paphield Plain is just behind us As long as they restrain us successfully, ill not be able to dispatch soldiers to stop their next oal So we have to be prepared for it”
“So, this is your preparation?”
“Yes, General Garcia”
“…” Garcia pondered in silence After a brief h your proposal is great and I believe in your Guild’s capabilities, it isn’t fully perfect yet… Miss Cleric, don’t you think that you’ve neglected a point which is a fatal loophole? If you can’t convince ave a rare and confident nod “Just as you’ve said My proposal is still lacking, but, General Garcia, I do have preparations for that part Miss Gillian is off to search for the crucial helper… I can guarantee, General Garcia, that person will be able to accoestion, so there will not be a problem”
