Chapter 550 - Muffled Harp Strings (2/2)
No matter what, I ed herself inwardly and looked at everyone before her “I think everyonehere soon Before that happens, we y I don’t have the talents that Mr Rhode has, so I hope to listen to your opinions…”
Lize unrolled the map on the table and everyone crowded around it with knitted brows
arded their confused expressions In fact, she was also aware of her own bad habits Lize lacked the confidence to su her She orried that she would doubt herself when she was explaining halfhen she witnessed their uncertain faces Therefore, to prevent this situation fro, Lize had decided to not lift her head when she went through the strategy and focus solely on theto Joey and Randolf’s intelligence report, Miss Gillian and I have analyzed and thought that the Southern Legion have no intentions of attacking the Cloud Summit Fortress because the Fortress has no true military value for them I think that they will useforces will penetrate the Paphield Plain froer serve any purpose They could even cut off our retreat from the rear and encircle the Fortress instead Mr Rhode inforth wasn’t enough against the King’s Party and they would be pinning their hopes on the Country of Light According to Mr Rhode, the Country of Light’s Parliah diplo’s Party after conquering Paphield and eventually turn the territory into their own”
“What?!”
Joey shrieked in horror and the others exchanged worried looks After all, thevictory in the battle before them was the most important, wasn’t it? But now…
“Miss Lize, what you meant was that if those bastards avoided us and conquer the territory behind us, ill be considered to be standing in the ‘eneed it?”
“That sounds about right” Lize fixed her gaze at the ht
“In order to prevent this fro, we have to stop their attacks first and foremost I have studied the terrains of Paphield and discovered a few possible routes that they could take…” Lize pointed to theCoh Paphield has a plain terrain, the defensive line by the Fortress isn’t a flat vast of land There are two long stretches of forests behind the Fortress defense and rear and the enemies will surely choose to penetrate the flat land between them I think we can set a trap here to stop them”
“Did you mean to ambush them?” Marfa asked
“Yes, Mr Marfa We don’t have the advantage in uarantee our doated in detail My tea spells to shroud the entire region to slow the enemies’ movements I think we can take down the eneer team, Mr Marfa’s Swordsman team, and Miss Gillian’s cover”
“Howto face exactly? Will they all be Cavalrymen?”
“In order to contain the forces of the Fortress, the ene around 3,000 soldiers to deal with Commander Garcia The total number of enemies is close to 8,500 For the sake of security, they will not focus all their forces to break through a specific area This e’re looking at facing 2000 to 3000 eneuess, Miss Lize?” Randolf knitted his brows “We have less than 200 people and ill have a hard tiainst them If the enemy doesn’t divide their forces to surround the Fortress and attacks the Fortress altogether instead, ill be in huge trouble Have you considered this? Also, what if they gather their forces for the breakthrough? 5,000 of them… If Mr Rhode were here, I wouldn’t be this hesitant But…”
Randolf didn’t complete his sentence, but everyone knehat he meant Lize continued to stare at the map before her
“They probably wouldn’t do that I’ve heard froion leading the command is a cautious person and he will definitely not place all his eggs in a single basket If I were him, I would rather choose to divide h the defensive line and regather thereafter Besides, a teae and difficult to conceal and it will be oals” Lize paused nervously as this was the first time she had spoken so much before them She sucked in a deep breath of air “I think they should bethe Fortress After all, the speed of Infantries will befor time, the Infantry wouldn’t be suitable”
“So you’ve decided to do this? This sounds like a good idea…” Marfa nodded and swept a gaze at Lize
He was astonished that this always obedient young lady had actually understood the big picture But this plan didn’t seeh in his eyes…
“Lize, I reht? Aren’t they supposed to stand outside the forest in order to cast a spell over the entire region? If that’s the case, the enemies will surely attack the Clerics first Are you sure that will be fine?”
“Please don’t worry, Mr Marfa We’re Clerics, and we have ways to protect ourselves Besides… Anne is around too”
“I see…”
Marfa nodded in agreement After all, he was a Swordsman and he didn’t have the qualifications to bicker with Lize over spell-casting At this moment, Joey leaned forward and scanned the ely and turned to Lize
“Wait, Miss Lize What’s the purpose of us if the Southern General divides his forces? Even if we can block off the shortfall, isn’t it the sah? Besides, if the enemies are alerted and attack us from the front and rear… Aren’t we all dead too?”
“Don’t worry about that, Joey Miss Gillian said that there’s a trustworthy person to handle this problem…”
The door opened and Gillian stood there with her usual cheeky s about ?”
“Miss Gillian!”
Lize lifted her head and gazed at the fox-eared young lady with tre hands Got to say, the proble tiencies, it wasn’t exactly ideal Lize could only put herfrom Gillian that someone would be around to resolve the proble this matter…”
“Ah, about that,” Gillian rolled her widened eyes and kept her at suspense Then, she winked playfully “Don’t worry, everything will be fine It’s settled!”
