August 9, 415th year of the Laux calendar.
The capital of the Rose Empire, the combat meeting room.
"Who on earth leaked our battle plan
If our plan had not been leaked, there would have been no way the orcs would have been able to react quickly enough."
General Wayuan Jason clutched the report in his hands tightly, unable to accept this result.
Obviously, this battle plan was carefully prepared in order to stabilize the morale of the troops.
Look at what is written in the report now.
The various assault troops encountered ambushes of varying degrees on the road, and many troops suffered so many casualties that they were unable to complete their original mission? !
A small number of troops were not blocked and advanced all the way to achieve their goals. However, before they could savor the fruits of victory, the city was recaptured by several elite orcs.
The surprise attack failed, and the army's morale became even more dispersed...
Isn't this putting the cart before the horse
After repeatedly reading the investigation report provided by the intelligence department, the national defense general, Wallace Eden, gently slid his index finger across his white mustache, with a serious face:
"According to the investigation report, the colorful-haired masked man has reappeared and defeated more than one assault force with lightning speed. It seems that he is also active behind the recaptured city."
Sitting in the main seat, Luo Ze Emperor Luo Hui. Qimia. Luo Ze held his cheek with one hand, looking unhappy:
"It was him during the winter offensive, it was him, it was him during the volcano celebration, and now it's him again. Where did this guy come from?"
Wall frowned slightly. "His growth rate is extraordinary. If we let him go like this, maybe he will really grow up to be able to turn the tide of the battle."
Wayuan Jason slowly flattened the crumpled report, stood up straight, and said as if the previous gaffe had not happened:
“Once the situation is reversed, all the manpower and material resources we have invested in the war with Wansheng will be wasted.
By then, the people will surely complain, and social unrest is inevitable sooner or later.
I think that at least the Cerro Vomon Plain should be captured.
We invested a lot in the Cerro Vomon Plain and built a huge wall like that.
As long as the wall is completed, even the orcs will be helpless."
General Walshi shook his head and said, “This year, it was too late for us to retake the Cerro Vomen Plain.
Someone has also tampered with the construction of the city wall. It seems that it will be difficult to complete the construction of the city wall this year."
Wayuan Jason fell silent.
It is well known that some guys with ulterior motives have infiltrated the army.
Unfortunately, even after an extensive search, few traitors were found.
If those people hadn't made trouble, the outcome of the battle between the Rose Empire and the Rose Empire would have been decided last winter.
Even if a masked man with colorful hair appeared, he would be powerless to save the situation.
Emperor Luo Hui on the throne sighed deeply.
"Impatient, too impatient. If we are given some more time, we will have a better chance."
If there hadn't been news of the Demon King's coming, the Rose Empire would have acted more cautiously.
They had prepared for more than ten years of fighting from the beginning, and during the annexation period they did not intend to get everything done in one go, but rather to gradually change the barbarity of the orcs culturally and ideologically.
Seeing the brief silence at the scene, a general took the opportunity to stand up and said, "Your Majesty, I think the most urgent task now is to find out the cause of the Saint's death and eliminate all the people of the Curse Sect."
Before the general could finish his words, Luo Hui interrupted him.
“I’ve heard the same thing so many times that I don’t want to hear it again.
Let’s leave this topic alone. Don’t bring it up again this time or in the future.
I have already sent people to investigate the whereabouts of the Curse Cult, and there will be an explanation from the Goddess Cult and the people soon."
"Yes, Your Majesty, I made a mistake."
There was obvious impatience in Luo Hui's words. The general who had spoken sat back in his seat, expressionless and with a stern face.
"Let's get back to the topic of how to deal with the colorful-haired masked man. We've gone a little off topic." General Wallshi tried to smooth things over.
Emperor Luo Hui said, "General, in your opinion, how should we deal with that man?"
After a moment's silence, General Walsh said:
"As expected, we can only rely on the assassination team, but ordinary assassination teams should be unable to do anything to him.
Only the best of the best can take him down.
So, I have a proposal.
In order to completely conquer Wansheng Kingdom, we have trained a lot of elite troops.
Congratulations on the volcano and the winter offensive report. Your Majesty, you have also heard that we have lost a lot of elite troops.
Some units have only a few men left, making them particularly suitable for being organized into elite assassination units.
I think this elite assassination team should be able to get rid of that man if they get the chance."
"Hmm. Have you ever thought about what to do after you fail?"
General Walsh continued to express his views:
"Under the current circumstances, there is no way to strive for the greatest benefits. What we need to do is to preserve the existing benefits as much as possible.
No matter how strong the opponent is, there is only one person.
When fighting against the orc troops, as long as we don't get ambushed, we are confident that we can defeat them on the frontal battlefield.
As long as we keep an eye on that man's movements, dispatch troops in advance, and don't engage in a head-on confrontation with that man's troops, there will be no problem.
This approach still works now.
I think we should temporarily postpone the plan to annex Wansheng Kingdom and focus the attack on the plains.
After gaining a certain advantage, peace talks of a ceasefire nature can be conducted.
As long as they use the excuse of jointly coping with the world's great crisis, they can push Wansheng into a dilemma."
"If they disagree, will we label them as the devil's lackeys?"
"That's right. We took the lead in showing our sincerity. If Wanshengguo doesn't accept it, that's his business."
“Really, can it be so smooth
Forget it, I'll do as you said.
This is the only solution at the moment.
Tell the Relics Research Institute to stop the work at hand and focus on replicating those hair fibers, and make special thermal insulation clothing as much as possible, and popularize it to every soldier fighting in winter.
We guarded our victory during the winter, and those orcs had nothing to say.
Okay, let’s adjourn this meeting.”
Luo Hui, who was sitting in the main seat, waved his hand, indicating that the combat meeting was over.
At the same time, the news that the Wansheng army had successfully resisted the invasion on the border spread throughout the streets and alleys of Wansheng, and the orcs cheered again.
Shortly afterwards, there was another even more exciting news that made the whole country of Wansheng rejoice.
The real king of Wansheng Kingdom, Wanzhangshi, recovered his health, returned to the throne, and took control of the government again.
