THE FIGHT TO BE KING
CHAPTER 28: THE PLAN
Everyone sat back in their seats and gazed towards Ren who was standing beside Myro, Luin who already had an envious face now said unhappily "Just tell me your plan! As long as you make a bad plan, I will definitely not agree! After all we can't lose much more troops!".
Luin was now really envious of Myro who would get the title of nobility if Ren could really lead them to victory, after all he was indeed the son of the Marquis but that did not mean he could instantly become a noble.
Luin had many older and influential older brothers than himself, therefore he had no chance to inherit his father's Marquis title.
So he decided to follow the 4th prince to battle, he knew that as long as he could help the 4th prince win then he most likely gained the title of nobleman as well.
If he managed to get the title of nobility without the help of his family, then his father must have given a different assessment on him, not even ruling out the possibility of his father turning himself into the heir to the title of Marquis. This made Luin even more determined to obtain the title of nobleman with his own strength so that his father could acknowledge him.
"You don't have to worry, I'm not as stupid as you that made us lose 2000 troops" Ren said unconcernedly, Luin who heard that was about to explode again but Ren did not give her any more time to talk.
Ren looked at everyone before saying "I'm sure you all already know that Trock Fortress has a very strong defense, guarded by 2000 expert troops and led by a famous general from the Cavalry Kingdom. If we think carefully, then there is almost no weakness in this fortress".
"You're right, I fought Ritke once before, his strength is not weaker than mine" Jerat said in agreement to Ren's words.
"Then what should we do?", asked the 4th prince worriedly, based on Ren's words just now then there was almost no weakness in Trock Fortress.
"This fortress is strong, but have you forgotten anything? No matter how strong an army was, they definitely needed food. The problem is that they cannot store large quantities of food in Trock Fortress, let alone hear that the main food in the Cavalry Kingdom is bread. At most, their bread can last for 5 days before it starts to mold and can't be eaten again" Ren said, explaining "When their food is no longer available, then what should they do?".
As everyone was thinking, the Snare who had been frequently on the battlefield said "Isn't it obvious, they just need to let the soldiers from other cities in the nearby region send them a new supply of bread! However there were many nobles of the Cavalry Kingdom who were willing to give their bread as long as the Trock Fortress could survive, if the Trock Fortress was destroyed then the next one would be the they-".
Suddenly Jerat stopped talking, he opened his eyes wide and stood up and said with surprise "Wait a minute, if we can stop Trock Fortress from getting this bread then they must-".
"The soldiers of the Trock Fortress must be starving" said Ren smiling confidently "No matter how strong the enemy forces are, as long as they were starving and panicking then even the strongest army in the world was not much different from a rookie!".
The entire person in the room became silent, they never thought of stopping the enemy's food, even Luin froze from surprise.
The 4th Prince did not pay attention to Luin but rather he was more interested in Ren's plan, he could not help but ask "But we have to determine the path that the troops carrying this food pass by, he said, after all, there are 3 cities close to Trock Fortress, we have to determine which city is most likely to bring the food supplies".
"No need!", said Ren who directly pointed towards a city on the map "Trock's fortress must have gotten food from this city!".
Everyone gazed towards the city that Ren pointed to, among the 3 closest cities of Trock Fortress then this city was the most distant.
Seeing Luin trying to disturb her, Ren was not angry at all but simply said "Are you stupid? The other 2 cities belonged to the Viscount of the Cavalry Kingdom, because of their small territory the Viscounts in the Cavalry Kingdom only controlled 1 different city from the Kingdom of Azeroth. The problem was, did the Viscount who controlled 1 city have enough ability to provide food for 2000 troops?".
Everyone in the room nodded, 1 the city couldn't possibly provide food for 2000 people, after all each city had their own residents to feed as well. Therefore, the yield of a city's fields was simply not enough to feed 2000 troops.
When everyone had agreed with him, Ren again pointed to the city he had chosen at the beginning of "But this city was different, the ruler was the Duke of the Cavalry Kingdom who had 5 cities under his control, as for Gran Duke, the Cavalry Kingdom did not have such high nobles because their territory was too small. Even they could only have 1 Duke, then only this Duke could also feed 2000 troops with the results of the fields from his 5 cities. If the 4th prince doesn't believe it, then I can't say anything more, the 4th prince can make his own plans".
The 4th Prince immediately stood up excitedly "How could I not believe it? Don't listen to Luin, the boy doesn't understand what you're saying. Miss Ren, thank you for your advice, the strategy you made is indeed very great, I will let the elite forces of the kingdom prepare to stop-".
"Prince, I have another suggestion" said Ren who was still looking at the map.
"Saran? I gladly accepted Miss Ren's advice!", said the 4th prince with a smile, he already considered Ren as his last hope.
"Why not let Master Myro and his cavalrymen take on this task! After all the cavalry could move fast which made their movement to steal the enemy's food even easier! The cavalry troops could move at night so that the enemy in Trock Fort was unaware of our movements, not to mention that most of Mr. Myro's cavalry troops were very good at archery. I think everyone has seen for themselves how Captain Falka can shoot the enemy general from afar, thus they were more suited to hunting down enemy food carriages than the elite Azeroth Kingdom troops wearing heavy armor. They are indeed strong but the armor makes them move slowly, therefore they are not suitable to take on this task" Ren said.
The 4th Prince thought for a while before saying "I think this is indeed the right idea, what do you think?".
The trap immediately stood "This strategy is very great, how could I not agree with a strategy as great as this? I agree!".
Lohen nodded lightly and still sat in his chair "I agree".
Firhel nodded, "Miss Ren's intelligence amazes me, if there's a chance then I'm interested in exchanging ideas with Miss Ren, I agree with this plan".
Ren smiled politely at Firhel's offer "If there's a chance after this war is over, then we might be able to talk to each other, Miss Firhel".
Right now only Luin was still not giving an answer, he just turned his head to the side without saying anything.
The 4th Prince did not respond to the envious Luin, he simply said "Since everyone here has already agreed, then we can also start this plan! Everyone has to work with each other so that this task can succeed, if I find out that something is not working well then I definitely make that person regret!".
"Well, prince!", shouted everyone in this room who immediately stood up while saluting.
