Hearing the Demonic Crocodile King call his name, Marshal Kent secretly lamented.
A difficult choice, no matter what is chosen, there are very serious consequences.
Even if betrayed by allies, they still have 40,000 troops stationed in Yangguan County.
Such a large force accounts for nearly five percent of the entire Demonic Crocodile Clan’s strength, occupying seven percent of the invasion force.
Abandoning such a large force would definitely cause a huge stir within the clan. The resulting political storm could even pull him down from being the Commander in Chief.
Leading the main forces over to rendezvous is equally fraught with peril.
The enemy clearly has a chance to attack but is deliberately holding back, clearly trying to lure them over for rescue.
What they are specifically facing, Marshal Kent is unsure, but based on his military experience, whatever the enemy plans to do, just do the opposite.
At this moment, leading the main army over is completely being led by the nose by the enemy, how can there be a good result.
"Your Majesty, this is an open conspiracy of the enemy!
The Earth Core Passage is in Yangguan County, we cannot ignore it. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novęlfire.net
Currently, the passage is blocked, but our garrison is trapped inside, it is equally undeniable to save them.
If nothing goes array, the enemy is intending to fight at ease, awaiting us to go over for a decisive battle.
Hudson is good at using cavalry; he is the most experienced and illustrious person in commanding cavalry operations on the Continent of Aslante.
I fear the upcoming journey will not be smooth!"
After Marshal Kent’s speech, the tent erupted in chaos.
The greatest feature of an "open conspiracy" is: even knowing there’s a pit ahead, you have to jump in.
Military action as a continuation of politics, Marshal Kent dares not suggest abandoning the garrison at Yangguan County, and nor do the other Demonic Crocodiles.
Yet, acting according to the enemy’s preset plans, the entire main army becomes perilous, which deeply troubles all the Demonic Crocodiles.
Not having formally engaged yet, but first feeling the enemy’s toughness, this feeling is truly awful.
"What’s the use of merely cursing the enemy as shameless, this is a battlefield, discard those unrealistic thoughts!
The military should formulate Deployment plans and quickly proceed with implementation, other Demonic Crocodiles do your respective duties."
After reprimanding the Demonic Crocodiles, the Demonic Crocodile King immediately turned and left.
The anger is feigned; calming the mood is real.
How to proceed with the subsequent war, there isn’t a single certainty in his mind.
The failure case of the Giant Centipede proved: losing the Earth Core Passage and then allying with other Earth Core species to share passages is infeasible.
Because of the presence of counter-examples, even if the Demonic Crocodile Clan is willing to go over as subordinates, others dare not accept.
Betrayal is almost a daily occurrence in the Earth Core World, even signing a contract might not be effective.
Before subordinates, the Demonic Crocodile King is always strong but deep within he is equally lost.
This time the opponent is the continent’s overlord, and the one leading the troops is also the continent’s top general.
Placed on the Continent of Aslante, there is no force that dares to take this lightly.
"Your Majesty, you should rest!"
As the Demonic Crocodile King was pondering hard, Chancellor Suzillo also came in to advise.
"I can rest anytime; it’s not necessary now.
I fear that if I sleep now, by the time I wake up, the enemy will have already invaded!"
The Demonic Crocodile King shook his head and said.
With a distance of over a hundred miles between both sides, it’s merely a matter of one to two hours for the cavalry to attack. It’s not unusual to enter warfare mode after a sleep.
"Your Majesty, the war is not likely to conclude in a short time, you haven’t closed your eyes in three days.
If you continue , I fear..."
Before Chancellor Suzillo could finish, the Demonic Crocodile King interrupted: "Let’s not discuss the sleeping matter; it was inconvenient to speak just now with Lord Luciel present.
Let’s first discuss pulling the Anti-Human Alliance into the battlefield!
I have a premonition that the Human Race is going to counterattack.
If we cannot drag all the species of the continent into the water, relying merely on the strength of the Earth Core World species, defeat is only a matter of time."
