The Dungeon Master's
Chapter 32 - Rebel Vs Federation
After clarifying my relationship with Elin, now I became much more excited about playing this game.
Besides, with the payment I get, my sister's medical expenses can be met. Although it is still a little less but it is not a big thing.
Right now I have to focus on facing the big battle before me.
"That damn Chris, what does it mean to leave his kingdom to be attacked for a blacksmith?" I complain about this condition.
He also entrusted to me 8 thousand soldiers in the Capital.
"As long as he pays a lot I don't mind him, Eric. Take it easy later I'll charge as much." Answer Elin.
In front of me there are 5 thousand goblin troops. I myself was amazed that I could summon 5 thousand goblins within an hour.
Yes despite all that because of Elin's Mana Link as well as a full stack of mana potions given by Chris. But still this number is huge.
"So do you have a plan, Elin?"
"I need information on the enemy's whereabouts. We'd better send some of these goblins to spy on the enemy's movements." Answer Elin.
"How much?"
"I think 20 squads is enough with the members of each squad that is 10 goblins. Make sure you raise 2 goblins per team up to Epic level in order to communicate."
After agreeing to the plan, Elin noticed a map around the location of the attack. At the same time I gave sigils to some goblins that I think are suitable to be the leaders of this spy squad.
"Their attack opportunities are 2. Through the grasslands to the west or the forests to the east of the mountains. I think we should immediately alert the troops in those 2 places." Obviously Elin.
"2 locations yes, it seems quite difficult to give good command at 2 places at once."
"Whatchu mean? You can make an evolution on some goblins and make him the leader of an army on one side." Elin replied with a hint of cynicism.
Right, why don't I think about it?
1 Day has passed and the goblin army I prepared has reached the number of 30 thousand. I should have been able to summon even more but since the full mana potion had run out, the regeneration where Elin was back was as usual.
The hardest thing is to make sure they are all full. Therefore I made special squads to look for food and who prepared food.
The 20 spy squads I prepared earlier had departed.
Why prepare that much for spies?
I don't know! But according to Elin, because the goblin's movement was quite slow the number was useful as a guarantee that the scouts could return safely.
If the enemy forces were to use horses, the goblins would not be able to run. That information would then be relayed by the surrounding scouts who had not been detected by the enemy.
Once everything is ready, I divide this army into 2.
The first army will guard the forest east of the mountains. I assigned 3 Goblin Warior and 2 Goblin Shaman as their leaders. The number they led reached 20 thousand troops.
Meanwhile, Elin and I will lead 10 thousand goblin troops towards the grasslands west of the mountains. I also brought 2 Goblin Warior and 2 Goblin Shaman with me.
The reason why the troops in the forest were more numerous was very simple.
That is because I am not with them so I cannot increase the number of troops. Meanwhile, the number of troops I lead will continue to grow as I travel.
For Chris's human army, I left them to guard the Capital. Besides, I don't want Chris to see their deaths as my fault.
After everything is decided, we move from the Capital.
......***......
"Please get permission to report!" Excited a soldier while kneeling inside this huge tent.
In front of him was a Knight with complete armor. The armor had a silver color with a beautiful golden complexion. His large, stocky body further increased the man's horror.
"Report!"
"Yes Master! we saw a strange movement of monsters!" Obviously the soldier.
"What do you mean by strange movements?" Ask the man who is the General of the army.
"The monsters. precisely the goblins move in groups. Even they move neatly!"
The general stood up to hear the soldier's explanation.
"Prepare all troops to move immediately! You, tell me which way they're moving!"
The soldier immediately explained the movement of the monsters he saw. It seemed that Elin had forgotten something very fatal, namely the fact that the troops of this Merchant Federation were battle veteran NPCs.
Elin did not realize that the enemy forces had also planted scouts into various places.
All the troops have lined up neatly. The total number reached 20 thousand soldiers.
4 thousand of them are Horseman Knights.4 thousand more are archers while the rest are pedestrian soldiers.
Their appearances were all quite impressive. Most of their bodies were protected by strong iron armor. Even their archers also used light iron armor.
This was the power of the Merchant Federation which had the strongest economy among the other kingdoms. Forming warriors with the best equipment was an easy matter for them.
In addition to securing trade routes, they also play an important role in defense and attack to other regions. Given the greed of the leaders of the Federation, the invasion of the neighboring kingdoms was already on their agenda.
"The goblin army yes.more than 20 thousand goblins moved towards the forest in the Eastern region, while the rest of the less than 10 thousand moved towards the grasslands in the Western mountains." Said the General after hearing the detailed explanation from the scouts.
"What are you going to do, Mr Burner?" Asked one of the men in gold-plated armor to the General.
"Ah, Young Master. Relax, I have prepared the plan. You can hand this victory over to your Father, Mr. Arnold."
Arnold. He was the son of one of the top officials of the Merchant Federation. His father sent him to the battlefield to hone his skills, as well as bring victory to the Federation. If he could bring victory to the Federation, he would definitely be appointed as the next leader.
"Oh, tell me about your plan, Mr. Burner. I don't want to embarrass my father."
"First, we will send a small part of our army to the forested region of the East. It was all just to outwit the enemy. If our opponent is only a goblin, I think 4 thousand soldiers is enough to hold them. But just in case I will send 5 thousand soldiers with a thousand horsemen and a thousand archers there." The general is clear with detail.
"After the enemy had a hard time, they would definitely send reinforcements into that forest, causing a weakening of the defenses in the prairie region. And that's where, our troops will launch their assault to the Capital!" Burner continued with vigor while clenching his right hand.
"Looky! What an incredible plan from you, Mr Burner. After this victory, I will promise you great riches!" Answer Arnold.
"Oh, take it easy, Young Master. Even if the enemy tames those lowly goblins as much as they can, they won't be able to resist the power of our Knights! I promise to bring you victory!"
And so, the strategic war between the two sides was resolved. What awaits at the end of their strategy is only real warfare.
