Heart of Empire Chapter 185: Reserve

Morneau has made a decision that cannot be changed. 1 Little ≯≥Say

After arguing on the field for a while, Chapple suddenly said: "Dane, you have been silent by the side, do you have any other opinions?"

Dane understood what Chapple meant by saying this, and he obviously hoped that he could also open his mouth to persuade Morneau.

Actually, if he could be persuaded, why wouldn't Dane want to do it? But looking at Morno's determined look, it was obvious that no matter what he said, there was nothing.

But in any case, what should be said, Dane still wants to say: "My opinion is similar to that of Chapple and the others. I also oppose the continued participation of the Eastern Expeditionary Army in the interception campaign. That is not a task we can accomplish."

When most people are determined to oppose it, Morno still wants to hear Dane's opinion that he agrees to continue to fight. Therefore, after hearing that Dane also expressed his objection, his eyes were somewhat disappointed.

Regathering his mind, Morno said: "There is no need to mention the objection anymore, my decision has been very clearly told to you. Now, everyone, please stop thinking about avoiding war. This is Governor Oze We must complete the tasks entrusted to us. Now, what everyone thinks about is, how can we successfully complete the goals?"

Hearing Morno's question, none of the people spoke, and expressed their objection in silence.

Seeing that the scene was going to be cold, someone came out - Broken Arm Marin.

"Based on our current position, if we continue westward for two days, we will arrive at a place called Shizuipo. Judging from the current retreat route of the orc army, they want to escape from the governor as soon as possible. For the pursuit, taking Shizuipo should be the quickest way, and they will pass here in a high probability. As it happens, Shizuipo is a very suitable place for defensive operations, as long as we arrive in advance, and in Shizuipo Poe has set up a solid line of defense. As long as the orc army is stopped for a day, the governor's army will arrive. At that time, under the attack from two sides, unless the orc army has wings, it is absolutely impossible to escape from the encirclement. Escape! After the orcs lost a lot of vitality, the border of Schindler will usher in at least ten years of peace, and you will become heroes and be remembered by the people of Schindler!"

This Sword Falcon Knight, who was once saved by Dane, was obviously the most enthusiastic person among the audience who hoped that Morno would continue to lead the Eastern Expeditionary Army to fight. He made a seemingly good strategic proposal, and he painted a beautiful picture for everyone.

But among the people present, who is the stunned young man whose blood gushes out after being fooled at random?

De Lina said: "I know where Shizuipo is. The distance is not too close. In two days, whether we can arrive earlier than the vanguard of the Orc Legion is simply an unknown!"

Redis followed and said, "No matter how suitable the terrain is for defense, is there a city wall there? Is there a fort there? Our team, which is not even 2,000 people, what can we do to block nearly ten times the number of people who want to fight?" The fleeing orc army? Let alone a day, I am afraid they will be able to defeat us all in an hour!"

Chapple gave the final blow: "Whether Governor Ozer's troops can arrive within a day is still unknown. What's more, even if they arrive at the battlefield as scheduled, after the exhausting high-intensity march, the Governor's men Whether the army can maintain sufficient combat effectiveness without rest and immediately go into battle is something that no one can guarantee. Sir Marin, your plan is really..."

"Enough!"

It was Morno himself who roared.

Whenever he heard one of his subordinates say a word, his face became a bit heavy, until Chapple came here, he finally couldn't stand it anymore, and interrupted his speech.

The scene fell into silence again.

"Dane." After a while, Morno's deep voice sounded, "Tell me, how should we fight this battle?"

Obviously, after the Orc Overseer calmed down for a while, he did realize that the operability of the plan that Marin said was too low.

When Morno called his name, Dane's face was somewhat helpless. He stood up and said, "Your Excellency, as Delina, Redis and Chapple said, the idea proposed by Sir Marin is too amateurish."

A look of embarrassment appeared on Marin's face. If someone else said that, he would directly reprimand him. But Dane was also the one who saved his life, so he could only stare at him with angry eyes.

Dane didn't care about Marin's gaze, and continued on his own: "General, let me state in advance that I still don't think it is a wise choice to continue participating in the operation to intercept the orc army at this time... "

He saw that Morno's face had become a little bit wrong. Sighing in his heart, he continued: "However, if the general really wants to get some advice from me, I do have an idea."

"With our current strength, standing in front of the orc army that only wants to escape is absolutely asking for death. Lose the lives of the soldiers. But we don't need to go head-to-head with these orcs. Since we can't stop them, we might as well let them pass. Then, we will continue to attack this orc army on the flanks in order to slow down The speed of their evacuation ~IndoMTL.com~ When their speed slows down, Governor Oze will naturally have a chance to catch up."

"This..." Morno was lost in thought. After a while, he said: "Dane's idea, um, seems to be quite reliable."

Chapple sighed, and cast a resentful look at Dane, as if blaming him for not persisting in his attitude against continuing to fight.

But since the matter has been like this, Morno is determined to continue fighting, so he can't object any more. I just heard him say: "If the fight must continue, I agree with Dane's opinion. Attacking the orc army from the flanks in order to slow down their speed, although the danger will still be great, but with our strength, at least one It is possible to complete the task. But when we attack the orc army, we cannot put all our strength into it at once, otherwise it will be easy to be entangled by the enemy who reacts. We must leave a part of the reserve team with enough strength, Specially responsible for support and response, so the safety will be greatly improved."

Dane interjected at the right time and said, "I'll be the reserve team."
