Chapter 1551: Chapter 1551
Gaven asked gravely, "Has the frontline situation deteriorated to such an extent? That the majesty had to resort to this dangerous strategy?"
"No wonder you’re the Chosen of Lady Strategy, with an extraordinary insight into the art of war. Just from one sentence of mine, you can deduce the overall collapse of the situation."
King Yasan looked at Gaven with undisguised admiration, "The war situation in the Eastern Desolation is even worse than the rumors outside."
Those evil Red Robe Mages of Ser, for their own interests, have sold off the entire Eastern Desolation. Not only providing the Tukan people with a large amount of food and slaves, but even actively supplying a vast number of magic scrolls and wands.
This severely weakens the original magical advantage of the Laiserman Kingdom. Now, the entire situation is extremely unfavorable for Laiserman Kingdom. Once the temperature suddenly drops, the natural defense line, Lake Asen, will be frozen over, signaling the moment for the Tukans to launch a full-scale river crossing.
Once the Tukan Army fully breaks through the Lake Asen defense line, neither Cesk nor the Great Valley will have secure defenses. Fighting countless cavalry on the open plains, even if we gather all of Felen’s elite, the chances of victory would be slim.
Before the allied army arrives, we must do everything possible to ensure that the main force of Laiserman Kingdom is not crushed. Even if the Lake Asen defense line is broken, with Laiserman Kingdom’s Berserker Legion on our side, we can still effectively hold back the Tukan, preventing a full-scale assault, forcing them to leave part of their troops to guard against Laiserman Kingdom and ensure their retreat.
With Gaven, King Yasan did not hold back but directly analyzed the overall war situation in the Eastern Desolation.
For this young man, even this old dragon does not dare to underestimate him, especially considering the brilliant war performance of the Conqueror Army he leads.
The series of exquisite tactical applications cannot be explained solely by being a Chosen of Lady Strategy, but rather he inherently possesses a unique ability in this regard.
The status of a Chosen among All Gods is never a saving grace that fills the shortcomings of the foolish.
Quite the opposite, they only add a finishing touch, crowning those truly deserving individuals.
The Chosen of Tyrant God Bane cannot possibly be a peace-loving person.
And the Chosen of Magic Goddess Mistela cannot possibly be a Berserker who only knows how to wield weapons.
"Your Majesty’s analysis is very reasonable. The Berserkers led by the witch of Laiserman Kingdom indeed constitute a crucial force against the Tukan and must be preserved by all means."
Gaven highly agreed with King Yasan’s analysis of the war situation. For origınal chapters go to 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵※𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮※𝓷𝓮𝓽
Being well-versed in historical trends, he deeply understands the enormous role Laiserman Kingdom played in the resistance against the Tukan invasion.
Not only did they leverage their geographical advantages to hold back the Tukan for two months, providing precious time for the collection of Felen Allied Forces, but they also heavily struck the Tukan attempting to forcefully cross Lake Asen in the Battle of Weeping Lake, nearly destroying a quarter of their forces, laying the strongest foundation for Felen Allied Forces’ victory thereafter.
Precisely knowing the ultimate result of the war makes Gaven always calm and confident when dealing with the Tukan invasion.
But when things really come to a head, especially in the past few days, after personally teleporting to the Eastern Desolation to grasp the war situation, he found himself expecting the unexpected.
There is nothing simple in warfare, especially with unprecedented battles involving tens of thousands of troops, where every move affects everything.
Any extra factor can potentially lead to a deviation in the ultimate direction of this war.
And he himself is the biggest extra factor.
He can alter a bad fate, and he can alter a good one.
Following this reasoning, if he wants to not change history, the simplest method is not to intervene, let it develop by itself.
Yet this is impossible; not to mention how much manpower and resources he has invested here, it’s also a great opportunity to further expand his influence.
Who can ensure everything will follow the known development of history?
Once deterioration occurs, trying to restore balance would be exponentially difficult.
This time, what he needs to do is to adapt to the situation, ensure everything goes in the direction of his memory while pursuing greater benefits for himself.
Just there’s a rather embarrassing matter. At this timeline in the past life, Gaven was still a slave in the Santarin Association, fighting for survival, not even qualifying as cannon fodder in this battle.
Besides several historical events heard later, he has very limited specific knowledge, neither knowing the decisive battle time between Felen Allied Forces and Tukan Army nor the detailed Middle campaigns, and not even certain if the Yasan Kingdom had initially employed such tactics to divert the Tukans’ attention.
If he now persuades King Yasan to change his mind, would that count as the first step to change history?
But he and those businessmen who prepare so many military supplies to go forward, have their own strategic purpose, aiming to procure more benefits, rather than using it as bait.
Quickly weighing in his mind, Gaven offered a compromise suggestion, "Actually, my plan to transport military supplies to the Great Valley Usmer coincides with your majesty’s plan."
