Moreno made a decision that cannot be changed. Although Delina, Chapple, Redis, and several other officers who could speak had expressed their objections, it was obvious that the general did not listen to these advices.
After arguing for a while, Chapple suddenly said, "Dane, you have been silent by the side, do you have any other opinions?"
Dane understood what Chapple meant by saying this, and he obviously hoped that he could also open his mouth to persuade Morneau.
In fact, if he could be persuaded, why wouldn't Dane want to do this? But looking at Morno's determined look, it was obvious that no matter what he said, there was nothing.
But in any case, what should be said, Dane still wants to say: "My opinion is similar to that of Chapple and the others. I also oppose the continued participation of the Eastern Expeditionary Army in the interception campaign. That is not a task we can accomplish."
Under the circumstances that most people are determined to oppose, Morno still wants to hear Dane's opinion that he agrees to continue to fight. Therefore, after hearing that Dane also expressed his objection, his eyes were somewhat disappointed.
After regaining his spirit, Morno said: "There is no need to mention the objection anymore. My decision has been made very clear to you. Now, everyone, please stop thinking about avoiding war. This is what Governor Ozer entrusted to us. We must complete the task. Now, what everyone wants to think about is, how can we successfully complete the goal?"
Hearing Morno's question, none of the people spoke, expressing their opposition in silence.
Seeing that the scene was going to be cold, someone came out—Broken Arm Marin.
"Based on our current position, if we continue westward for two days, we will arrive at a place called Shizuipo. Judging from the current retreat route of the orc army, they want to escape the pursuit of the governor as soon as possible. Shizuipo should be the fastest road, and they will pass here in all likelihood. As it happens, Shizuipo is a very suitable place for defensive operations, as long as we arrive in advance and arrange With a solid line of defense, as long as the orc army is stopped for a day, the governor's army will arrive. At that time, under the attack from two sides, unless the orc army has wings, it is absolutely impossible to escape from the encirclement! After the orcs lost a lot of vitality, the border of Schindler will usher in at least ten years of peace, and you will become heroes and be remembered by the people of Schindler!"
The Sword Falcon Knight, who was once saved by Dane, was obviously the most enthusiastic person in the audience who hoped that Morno would continue to lead the Eastern Expeditionary Army to fight. He made a seemingly good strategic proposal, and he painted a beautiful picture for everyone.
But among the people present, who was the stunned young man whose blood spurted out after being fooled at random
Delina said: "I know where Shizuipo is. The distance is not too close. In two days, whether we can arrive earlier than the vanguard of the orc army is simply unknown!"
Redis followed up: "No matter how suitable the terrain is for defense, is there a city wall there? Is there a fortress there? Our team, which is not even 2,000 people, what can we do to block nearly ten times the number of orcs who want to escape?" The army? Let alone a day, I am afraid they will be able to defeat us all in an hour!"
Chapple gave the final blow: "Whether Governor Ozer's troops can arrive within a day is still unknown. What's more, even if they arrive at the battlefield as scheduled, after the exhausting high-intensity march, the army under the governor's command can Not being able to maintain enough combat power without resting and immediately entering the battle is something that no one can guarantee. Sir Marin, your plan is really... "
"enough!"
It was Morno himself who roared.
Whenever he heard one of his subordinates say a word, his face became a bit heavy, until Chapple came here, he finally couldn't stand it anymore, and interrupted his speech.
The scene fell into silence again.
"Dane." After a while, Morno's deep voice sounded, "Tell me, how should we fight this battle?"
Obviously, after calming down for a while, the Orc Overseer did find that the operability of the plan that Marin said was too low.
Hearing Morno's roll call, Dane's face was somewhat helpless. He stood up and said, "Your Excellency, as Delina, Redis and Chapple said, the idea proposed by Sir Marin is too amateurish."
A look of embarrassment appeared on Marin's face. If someone else said that, he would directly reprimand him. But Dane was also the one who saved his life, so he could only stare at him with angry eyes.
Dane didn't care about Marin's gaze, and continued on his own: "General, let me state in advance that I still don't think it is a wise choice to continue participating in the operation to intercept the orc army at this time..."
He saw that Morno's face had become a little bit wrong. Sighing in his heart, he continued: "However, if the general really wants to get some advice from me, I do have an idea."
"With our current strength, standing in front of the orc army that only wants to escape is definitely asking for death. Not only will we not be able to achieve the task of helping Governor Oze intercept the orc army, but we will also send away soldiers in vain. their lives. But we don't need to confront these orcs head-on. Since we can't stop them, we might as well let them go. Then, we will continue to launch attacks on this orc army on the flanks in order to slow down their withdrawal. Speed. When their speed slows down, Governor Oze will naturally have a chance to catch up."
"This..." Morno was lost in thought. After a while, he said: "Dane's idea, um, seems to be quite reliable."
Chapple sighed, and he cast a resentful look at Dane, as if blaming him for not insisting on his attitude against continuing to fight.
But now that this is the case, Morno is determined to continue fighting, so he can't object any more. I just heard him say: "If the fight must continue, I agree with Dane's opinion. Attacking the orc army from the flanks in order to slow down their speed, although the danger will still be great, but with our strength, at least one It is possible to complete the task. But when we attack the orc army, we cannot put all our strength into it at once, otherwise it will be easy to be entangled by the enemy who reacts. We must leave a part of the reserve team with enough strength, Specially responsible for support and response, so the safety will be greatly improved."
Dane interjected at the right time and said, "Let me be the reserve team."
