THE FIGHT TO BE KING
CHAPTER 307: TAKING RISKS
Retya led the Victory Army from behind the Sordas. In addition to the Victory Army, there were also samurai led by Yuki, knights who followed Aclan and cavalry led by Gladius and Garwein. As for Fred, he was on the side of General Herfu to help him.
The invading army at the front of the enemy was the army led by General Herfu, he led the assault of his troops directly which showed that Herfu had truly been loyal to Myro.
Herfu led 100,000 troops at the front with 10,000 troops who were the Snow Infantry, Herfu's most elite force.
Then at the rear there are approximately 90,000 troops. The actual number of troops Myro brought was 100,000 troops, but 10,000 Mongol cavalry followed Myro so they could not appear on this battlefield.
150,000 Sordas against 190,000 Myro troops, the victors and losers can already be seen.
Not to mention that the Sordas Army was exhausted by the long journey from the main road to Largan City, therefore Myro's forces had the upper hand.
Ren did not come directly to the battlefield but instead stood in the distance while observing everything that happened, he opened his folding fan and closed the smile on his face "Although the plan we used was quite risky, he said, but the results are appropriate! As long as nothing changes, the Sordas Army will lose here! As long as the enemy lost half of their army, there was nothing more to fear from attacking Bern City!".
...----------------...
About 4 days ago, in Myro's command tent before bringing his troops towards the Diamant Kingdom.
Ren who everyone was looking at curiously immediately explained "The plan this time is very risky, especially for master so I don't mind if anyone rejects this plan. We'll use the 100,000 inhabitants around as bait, let them use the armor of the Victory Army to make the enemy think you're bringing the Victory Army on the main road! According to Feld's report, Torn had made an awful lot of armor just in case the master increased the number of his troops. The Victory Army will use newly created armor while the 100,000 inhabitants wear the armor of the Victory Army, I'm sure the enemy will be deceived".
"Are you sure the enemy will be deceived just because of the armor?", Herfu said in disagreement "After all Ferta and Sordas are generals who have defeated Kelrun, their abilities and intelligence should not be underestimated. I'm sure the armor of the Victory Army can't fool them at all, after all the aura of elite soldiers and armed residents is not the same".
Ren had no objection against Herfu rejecting his plan "What you say is true, the armor of the Victory Army is simply not enough to deceive the enemy. Therefore, you must lead this army directly so that the enemy is deceived. As long as the lord led the 100,000 undercover residents, the enemy would definitely not be aware of the peculiarities of the population wearing the armor of the Victory Army".
Falka immediately points out that she disagrees with "Ren, are you crazy? Once the enemy realizes the 100,000 Victory Troops the master is carrying are fake, the enemy must have attacked the master and tried to kill him! Do you think the 100,000 inhabitants are capable of protecting the master from the enemy? This is not a plan to attack the enemy, but rather a plan you made to try to kill the master! I don't agree, how could you take such a big risk?".
Ren closed his fan and looked towards Myro "I don't mind if you guys reject the plan, after all I don't agree to put you in the middle of a huge risk. But this is the best plan to defeat the enemy as quickly as possible, my other plan is not as effective as the plan earlier. For that reason, I told you about this plan. Falka, do not forget, the one who determines our actions in war is not you, but master".
Everyone looked towards Myro who was closing his eyes.
After confirming the profit and loss from Ren's plan, Myro opened his eyes again "Is there no better plan?".
"Then it's decided, we'll use the plan Ren said earlier" Myro said "But I don't agree to using the residents as fake soldiers! After all, war should not make innocent people victims".
Seeing that Myro had agreed, everyone did not speak or raise any more objections. Even Falka who from earlier disagreed could only sigh, she had to admit Ren's plan was too risky but had the most likely success so she couldn't object.
Aclan raised his hand "Master, I have a suggestion".
"Say" said Myro.
"Since the lord doesn't plan on using the residents, why don't we take advantage of the soldiers of the nobles around? I heard that the nobles around us are now followers of Count Horganef, the problem is that their leader is in Loth City right now, I'm not sure they are able to resist those of us who are trying to use their troops", aclan.
Ren nodded in agreement "What Aclan says is true, if master is alone, they must have refused. But at this time the joint master of 200,000 troops and General Herfu, they did not dare to refuse to give up an army unless they were ready to fight against 200,000 elite troops. Although they most likely only gave us 100,000 new troops, but soldiers are better than the population, right?".
Falka spoke up before Myro could answer "Master, allow me and the 10,000 Mongol Cavalry to join you! If the enemy were to realize that the troops you brought were fake troops, I and the 10,000 Mongol Cavalry would definitely be able to bring the master to escape from the battlefield!".
Myro finds Falka's eyes firm which means he is determined to follow Myro to take care of her.
"Alright, Falka and the 10,000 Mongol Cavalry will come with me! General Herfu, I think I can hand over the recruitment of 100,000 noble troops around to you, right?".
"Give it to me, your majesty, I will definitely not disappoint you!" said Herfu confidently.
The name of General Herfu in the north of the Kingdom of Azeroth was known to almost all the higher-ups and nobles, except that the person had a position equal to Herfu, who was a noble, they certainly did not dare to refuse to give the team when the one who came was Herfu.
"Master, once you arrive on the main road and come face to face with the enemy, you must leave immediately the next morning" Ren said, reminding "The longer you are there, the greater the risk of the enemy knowing the fake army belongs to the master! Therefore, you should not stay there too long".
Hearing Ren's suggestion, Myro nodded "Don't worry, I will definitely back off if my task is done!".
...----------------...
Ren opened his eyes again and gazed towards the battlefield where the Sordas army was constantly dwindling "Luckily everything is going according to plan! Now is the time for cleaning!".
