Chapter 649 - Battle on the Ice Field (1/3) (2/2)
“I knohat’s on your mind, John But I’ve made up gestion fir about because he had mentioned his concerns previously John hoped that Rhode would take things one step at a time However, Rhode was familiar with the historical process and he knew he didn’t have the tiht be risky and was highly related to luck Even in the gaht had failed several tih reward If the opponent’s forces were only a fraction of his own, Rhode wouldn’t be foolish enough to stab their backs At least in the foreseeable future, Rhode knew that he wouldn’t have sufficient forces to go against the Country of Light and Country of Darkness up front
Taking the risk was his only choice
Of course, Rhode definitely wouldn’t tell John that he knew the Country of Darkness and Country of Light would launch attacks on the Munn Kingdom in the near future Besides, futuristic situations were difficult to explain Moreover, such secrets wouldn’t be kept for long and who kneould change in the future Therefore, all Rhode could do noas to prepare for everything and welcome the impact of fate in waves
“We don’t have sufficient hest success rate for now You can’t possibly lead a hundred Cavalrymen and overwhelm a thousand men defensive line This is the only risk that we can take and trustwill be fine”
“…”
John shook his head hopelessly He knew that he had failed to convince Rhode What surprised him the most was that he could see the extraordinary confidence Rhode had, so he witnessed in countless commanders in the past He had heard the rumors of Rhode, but he didn’t seem to have led an army into war before Besides, Rhode didn’t usually appear like a soldier, so where did his confidence coood chance for me to witness it
Joey and Randolf reported to Rhode once again There were 800 to 900 Orcs gathered on the Ice Field and ,in an abandoned fort and had set up lookout posts on the sentry towers Although they appeared sloitted and clumsy, they had the natural talent and instinct for battle Moreover, the Orcs had sharp sense of smell and they were able to detect the presence of other creatures through their scent
Judging froured out their strength This should be a th If they fought head on, they would have a hard tih it see requireave an order
“You’ve heard the specific situation from Randolf and Joey The Orcs have occupied an abandoned fort They have the upperhand in manpower, but they’re relatively simple-minded… John”
“Yes, Sir”
John stepped out of the group with a soleht hand onto his chest
“Just like in the training, I want you to lead your men to lure the Orcs away The Orcs have failed in their previous ambushes and I believe that your plu for them Grasp the distance and speed well and don’t force the situation Understood?”
“Yes, Sir”
John nodded Rhode swept a glance at the young commander and turned to Sol
“There are usually three to five Sha as interes I need you and your th Sha as you take note of that, you will be fine”
“I understand Please don’t worry, Sir Overlord We will surely accomplish this mission”
Sol hurriedly nodded He knew that this battle was a great opportunity for them to display their value and they wouldn’t let this chance slip Rhode turned to Randolf, Joey, and Marfa on the other side
“Both of you are aware of the Orcs’ characteristics They’re powerful and have strong recovery skills It won’t be as easy to face them as ordinary Humans I hope you can wipe out their sentries in the shortest ti sessions… Marfa, you’re responsible for taking the charge But you have to be attentive of Lize’s Cleric tearoup I will be responsible in suppressing their core Everything will follow our practice Remember your roles Do you understand?!”
“Yes! Sir!”
Rhode nodded in satisfaction Then, he looked forward at his target
“Move out!”
