Chapter 66 (1/2)
As soon as Rody was 10 li1 away from the Imperial Capital, he ordered the whole arer and asked for the presence of Deputy Co and Commander Gordon
Before the expedition, Rody deliberately requested E I and had no experience He hoped that His Majesty would send someone as fa Nicole suggested
Emperor Abbas XI was happy to approve and immediately ordered Commander Gordon to follow the ar 2,000 of the Imperial Guards with him because E duke Additionally, His Majesty had never heard of Deputy Co so he wanted to send someone whom he could trust
”Co, I have an idea that I need to discuss!” Rody carefully declared his thoughts
”Your Excellency!” Sieg gave a faint smile and replied, ”You are now the supreme commander If you have any orders, you just need to say it”
Rody gave Gordon a glance Gordon merely smiled quietly and nodded
Rody took a deep breath and expressed his thoughts, ”I have decided to divide the Wolves Fang Ar cavalry with his 2,000 Iroup However, the 10,000 cavalry and I will take the re two horses! We will take provisions enough for four days and rush straight to Watt Fortress! According to my calculations, if we do not take any break and just rotate our horses, ill be able to reach the fortress in four days!”
Thecried out first, ”How can this work?” After that, he realized that he lost control of himself and lowered his voice ”Your Excellency, our th is limited I am afraid that if we split up ill not be able to cope!”
Rody gave a long sigh and looked at Sieg He then said, ”Coh to reinforce the Northwest Legion? There are less than 100,000 soldiers left froion If we take into account those ere injured and those who have lost their combat capabilities, I am afraid we only still have about 60,000 soldiers Can these 60,000 soldiers of a defeated ardom? Even if ere to add in our 20,000 soldiers, will it be enough?”
Sieg was silent for a while before he softly replied, ”No, on't be able to win Unless we bring 50,000 soldiers with us, I will not dare to fight them”
”That's right!” Rody sighed ”I thought of this the entire night before I understood our situation…” At that time, Andy cried out in his mind, ”Bullshi+t! If I did not teach you, could you have thought of this?”
Rody ignored Andy and continued, ”We cannot defeat them anyway That is ith this sas our Tulip Family's banner is up, I believe that the est probleion now is not that they cannot win but rather they are too afraid to fight! They still have about 100,000 soldiers! In the previous battle, the 200,000 soldiers were defeated by the enemy's army of 80,000 Noe have less than 100,000 soldiers left while the eneion has lost its ive the as there are reinforceion will know that more reinforcements will come! They will know that there is hope and become more spirited!”
Rody looked at Sieg and Gordon Noticing that they did not speak he spoke again, ”Of course, even if the ion becomes stable, it is still unlikely that ould be able to defeat or even repel the Great Moon Kingdo as the Northwest Legion is ainst the enemy, ill still be able to defend the fortress!”
Sieg frowned and asked, ”Defending is enough?”
Rody looked at him and knew that an honest soldier like him would not understand political affairs Rody, himself, would not have understood politics if it were not for Nicole who explained it to him
”Co, let me tell you, His Majesty the Edoion half destroyed, we can only teion is too far away and will take two to three months to reach here if they are ion, if they are mobilized, ould be vulnerable to the attacks of the Roland Continent”
Those last feords were not very appropriate but Rody had no choice Those were the only words Andy taught hiht before All he could do was repeat them
