Chapter 1580: Chapter 1580
"For this battle, I plan to fight it ..."
Gaven generously shared the military forces he had at his disposal and the tactics he planned to employ with the two, because the upcoming battle required strong cooperation from their forces to have any hope of success.
"The Commander is actually in control of an aerial force as well!"
"Blaze Burning City!"
After hearing Gaven’s plan, even the Golden Feather Witch and the Druid Hanso, despite their vast experience, couldn’t help but gasp. They were shocked not only by the strength of the opposing forces but also by the ruthlessness of the tactics.
"There’s no other choice; even gathering all our forces, direct confrontation gives us little chance of victory. We must use cunning strategies to narrow the gap."
Gaven said helplessly, "If we don’t break anything, nothing will be established. As long as we can protect the residents here, even if the city is burned down, we can rebuild it afterward. But if those citizens are devoured by the monsters, then this city is truly destroyed."
"This plan is indeed very bold, but it is filled with too many variables. Once the intent is prematurely exposed, failure is possible, and it demands very high command skills during battle."
"Therefore, I boldly request that you grant me command of this war,"
"It is only natural, Mr. Gaven, you are the Chosen of Lady Strategy, and since you proposed this plan, who else would be more suitable?"
"I have no objections, but will the citizens of the City of Usmer agree to this plan?"
"You only need to ensure your forces are ready on time; leave the rest to me," Gaven said confidently.
"I need to return to the frontline to negotiate, while trying to mobilize forces, also ensuring the main forces there hold off the Tukan People, so they won’t have the resources to dispatch more forces to support this Awakened Plant Army."
"If there are no other issues, let’s begin the action. Our time is extremely limited." Gaven said with high spirits.
He was no longer fearful of the upcoming battle; instead, he was filled with anticipation.
It has been proven that there is no more convenient way to quickly establish connections with local forces than by joining together to fight against powerful enemies.
If he can command and win this battle, not only will he build a relationship with the Laiserman Kingdom, but he’ll also establish good relations with the local forces of Great Valley, paving the way for future plans.
After sending off the Golden Feather Witch and Druid Hanso, Gaven immediately arranged to meet with the three leaders of the Brotherhood of Sword Spike, who held an important position in his plan.
In the City of Usmer, these local figures wielded more influence and authority than he, a foreign dragon.
After hearing Gaven’s introduction of the enemy, the three leaders of the Brotherhood were visibly shocked and repeatedly questioned, "General, could you be mistaken? How could such a powerful Dark Force be hiding within the Laisel Forest?"
"There is no mistake. This information was delivered by Lord Golden Feather Witch of the Laiserman Witch Council and the Druid Hanso of the Lys Sect." Follow current novels on 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹•𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖•𝗇𝗲𝘁
Gaven gestured, directly projecting the Phantom of their initial enemy exploration, "They hurried back to deploy forces, thus lacking the time to meet with the three leaders in person. The Tukan Eagle Knights harassing us are not merely blocking food supplies to the City of Usmer but also covering for the Withering Army, preventing us from detecting their invasion immediately."
"If all this is true, is our destruction a matter of time?"
"We obviously can’t defend ourselves alone, but with the involvement and help of General Gaven, the Laiserman Kingdom, and the Lys Sect, we should still have hope."
"General, you must help us; you cannot just watch this city face destruction."
The three leaders of the Brotherhood no longer questioned the authenticity of the information and looked at Gaven hopefully. Their main forces were at sea, not in the City of Usmer, and even here, they were powerless against the army led by scores of Demon Trees.
But the importance of the City of Usmer to them was undeniable. Without this city, they were no different from rootless pirates at sea.
Regarding the matter of Gaven attracting the enemy, they said nothing. That was something only fools would do; they had already made one foolish mistake, and they certainly wouldn’t make a second.
"Even without your request, I wouldn’t stand idly by," Gaven revealed his true intentions, "We have developed a battle plan with a high probability of success, although the cost is also significant, and it requires the cooperation of you three leaders and your brothers."
"General, tell us what is needed; we will surely exert all efforts to cooperate."
"We are all in this together, General; there is no need to hide anything."
"Perhaps we should first hear the General’s plan."
Compared to others, Duis, the leader of the Brotherhood of Sword Spike, was more composed and cunning. Even amidst the shock, he refrained from making promises easily.
"The enemies we face this time are different from the flesh and blood we encountered before. Blades and swords have limited impact on them, while their attacks are lethal to the soldiers.
With just the earthen walls of the City of Usmer, even with assistance from the Laiserman Kingdom and the Lys Sect, our chance of holding out is nearly zero.
