Chapter 875: Chapter 559: Two Sand Table Deductions_1
Having heard the words of Rose Marquis, Leo Ray slightly nodded in agreement, signaling the other to continue speaking.
“Lord, though our territories encompass Cyan Town, Maron Town, Magnet Town, Redarrow City, Mystara City, Firsdale City, Viennas City, the Crystal Kingdom, and my own Blue Cold Fortress, making nine cities in total with considerable power and close to 40,000 soldiers in total,”
Rose Marquis slightly bowed, his face serious, “but compared to the openly postured forces of the Great Prince and the Second Prince in the Coldflame Eastern Region, there is one extremely critical disadvantage.”
“Let’s hear it.”
Raising his eyebrows slightly, Leo Ray sipped at his steaming hot tea, and then put the teacup down before continuing.
“That is, our forces are too scattered, making it impossible to muster our strength without the opponent noticing, let alone initiating a large-scale battle.”
Nodding at Leo Ray, Rose Marquis remained in a respectful posture while responding, “Whether it’s Great Prince’s camp centered around Pinehaven City in the southern part of the Demonic Shadow Forest’s territory or the Second Prince’s camp centered around Iron Fort in the western part of the Demonic Shadow Forest’s territory, both their forces are quite concentrated, allowing them to easily muster a large army in a short time.”
“Rose Marquis is right, it is indeed so.”
Hearing this, Burt, a similarly burly and wrinkle-lined face, also showed an approving expression.
He contemplated, “The territory in the Demonic Shadow Forest has only a defensive barrier formed by three cities – Cyan Town in the west, Magnet Town in the north of Cyan Town at the foot of the Hundred Ranges, and Maron Town in the south of Cyan Town.”
Stroking his chin lightly, Burt continued, “The stationed forces of the three cities combined would barely reach a scale of 10,000 soldiers, which, compared to the more than 60,000 soldiers commanded by the two princes, is indeed rather stretched.”
“Elder Burt is not wrong; if the southeastern Redarrow City in Maron Town is counted, there are no more than four cities,”
On the other side, Joshua’s fair face also revealed a contemplative expression, adding, “However, the current Redarrow City only has a 2,000-person mercenary army headed by Donna.
Under the condition of lacking coordinated training in combat, they may be passable in defending the city, but I’m afraid their fighting strength on the battlefield is far inferior to that of the defense army in other cities.”
“The two kingdom generals are absolutely right.”
Standing respectfully beside Leo Ray, Rose Marquis continued, “However, the situation isn’t as bad as it seems. After all, in the territory of the Demonic Shadow Forest, Lord directly commands 19 Tier 2 Elite Squadrons.”
Pinching his orchid finger and smiling, Rose Marquis went on, “Moreover, there are two tribes that have sworn allegiance to the Lord, wielding a significant force of nine Tier 2 Elite Squadrons.”
“In addition, there are nine Tier 2 Elite Squadrons newly trained by the Lord in Cyan Town, Magnet Town, and Maron Town, as well as two Tier 2 Princess’s Guard brought by Princess.”
With nearly 4,000 Tier 2 elite soldiers, 10,000 regular defense troops, and many powerful subordinates under the Lord’s command, it is enough to protect the Lord’s territory without worry when facing the full attack of either prince.”
Once the words were spoken, Rose Marquis refilled a cup of hot tea for Leo Ray and then said, “Of course, this is in the worst-case scenario, as no adversary has yet learned the specific location and strength of our territory.”
What is most important is that in the eyes of the adversaries, we have only one Cyan Town with a mere 3,000 common defense troops. What they don’t see is our surprising and ingenious means of victory.”
Pausing for a moment, Rose Marquis then addressed Leo Ray, “Lord, even so, if the Great Prince and the Second Prince were to attack from both sides, the situation would undoubtedly become critical.”
This is the biggest disadvantage I mentioned earlier. Apart from the four cities mentioned, the other five, including my own Blue Cold Fortress, are too far from the territory and cannot provide timely reinforcements.”
“This is a problem I have always worried about.”
Slightly nodding, with a furrowed brow, Leo Ray picked up the exquisite white porcelain teacup once more.
He continued, “At the beginning, I didn’t expect the forces of the Great Prince and the Second Prince to be so entrenched in this remote Coldflame Eastern Region, I must admit it is quite tricky.”
Sipping the hot tea, Leo Ray smiled lightly and said, “But since you have mentioned this, Rose Marquis, you must have a solution for it, right?”
“Indeed, my Lord, I have a proposal here that could turn this disadvantage into an advantage, or perhaps as our next course of action,”
On the other side, Rose Marquis smiled and bowed slightly.
“Very good, I also have a decent solution in mind, so let’s each carry out a simple deduction and see if our answers match.”
Upon saying this, Leo Ray also smiled faintly, immediately ordering his subordinates to move two finely crafted rosewood square tables to either side of where he was seated.
