Chapter 69 II Disobedience

When Libera received Kadir's order, he threw the paperwork on the ground in anger, and if it weren't for the presence of other people, he would have stepped on it a few times to vent his anger.

The lieutenant Vultures stepped forward quietly, bent down to pick up the order, and read it from beginning to end. The order clearly states that Libera is ordered to launch a surprise attack on Dbans as soon as possible, and the goal of this campaign is limited to the capture of Durbans.

"What a helpless order." Vultures sighed. Vulture can understand why Libera is so angry, in terms of the current military situation, Yaki is actually at a disadvantage, whether it is the number of troops, the level of training, morale, and supplies are no longer superior to the thief army, the defensive front carefully planned by Vulture along Abdus was finally formed, Libera and Vulture have put a lot of effort into this, and now they have built this line of defense impregnable, no matter what method the thief army uses, it is impossible to easily break through this line of defense, Now, Yaki can hold his ground for the time being, regrouping his strength, and waiting for a future resurgence. But now they have to abandon their defensive posture and rashly attack a city that cannot be defended, Durbans, and there is no thief army in this city at all! If there is any value in this kind of unscrupulous move, it is probably only a little bit of propaganda effect, and this is probably the choice that Kadir III had to make after his unfortunate defeat in the Battle of the Narrow Sea, so Vulture will say that this is a helpless order.

Libera gasped and turned her back to everyone. Vulture knew that what Libera was thinking was no different from his own, but he was more agitated, and Vultures waved his hand for everyone else to withdraw. Only himself and the veteran Bius were left.

"I really don't know who gave His Majesty such a bad idea!" When Libera heard that the crowd had withdrawn, she immediately cried out: "Probably that Tulayan!" And maybe Andrasius! Maybe Usubu, that old immortal, has a share! ”

"Lord Libera. What's going on? The veteran Bius doesn't know exactly what's going on, but Libera's actions are unusual. He also knew that there must be a big problem.

"See for yourself." Vulture handed the order to Bius.

After only two lines, Bius exclaimed, "No! What an order! ”

Bius's words were like a fuse that made Libera burst out: "That's right! It's a crazy order! Durbans is a self-governing undefended city! It's not completely out of Yaki's rule! What would the people of Yaki think of attacking such a city now! ”

"But after all, it is autonomous, which may irritate Your Majesty." Since Libera seemed so impulsive, Vulture could only speak from the perspective of persuasion.

"I understand His Majesty's considerations, he wants to stimulate the morale of the people, but to raise morale is not by this, such a despicable means! If you lose the support of the people, then what is the use of these so-called morale! This is undoubtedly drinking to quench your thirst, is Your Majesty, Your Majesty confused? ”

Vultures hurriedly said, "My lord." Although your statement has a point, you don't want to disobey the order, do you? ”

"Of course! Not only will I not carry out such an order, but I will immediately go to Ashtiton to advise Your Majesty and ask Your Majesty to take back his command! ”

Bius waved his hand repeatedly: "Your Excellency, Your Excellency, your emotions are very excited, I am as angry as you are with this order, but please calm down and think about it, Your Majesty will not take this order back." He has served His Majesty longer than the two of them. I should know a little more about Your Majesty, and judging from the experience below, Your Majesty will never retract this order. Your Majesty is not a fool, and he will not be unaware of the stakes. I thought that His Majesty would do this, and it was a last resort. Therefore, if you disobey your order, you may only attract the wrath of your majesty and the slander of some people with ulterior motives, and if you are relieved of command, this order will still be carried out. Then only the Yaki Army will suffer. ”

Vultures continued, "What Mistress Bius has said is true, the Aqui Army is on the brink of danger. There really can't be more than that. ”

Libera shook her hand sharply to stop the persuasion of the two colleagues: "Okay, I see. I am against this behavior precisely to avoid unnecessary failures! Imagine that. A city that cannot be defended, even with the reinforcements of Frank hoplites and Cretan archers, it will not become indestructible, the thief army will immediately rush to attack with all their strength when they know that we have captured Durbans, this is a good opportunity for them to ask for, once we can not hold on and withdraw, the people of Durbans will probably welcome the thief army into Durbans, and in the end we worked hard but made a wedding dress for the thief army, don't you think this is stupid? ”

Bius and Vultures nodded together, "It's silly indeed. ”

The three fell silent. Or was it the Vulture who broke the silence first: "Since His Majesty's order is to raid and capture Durbans, and the goal of the whole campaign is only that, then we just need to do these two things?" ”

Libera fell back as if awakened, and then said with joy: "Raid Durbans, and then withdraw before the thieves can react!" ”

"That's right, this will not violate Your Majesty's orders, but it can also effectively preserve the strength of our army, and the victory of the quick capture of Durbans can also give Your Majesty an explanation to those villains. As long as we launch a surprise attack, a city like Durbans should be a breeze. It dawned on Bius.

As if solving a difficult problem, the faces of the three of them became soothed in an instant. I don't know who started it, and the three of them laughed together.

"Someone!" Libera called out.

The waiter heard the call and immediately ran in.

"Set the wine! I'm going to have a drink with two adults! ”

"Yes."

While the attendants were ready, the three remaining generals of the Yaji Army sat together to study their plan of action for a surprise attack on Durbans. Unsurprisingly, the trio were surprisingly unanimous. Only when to move, the route of march and the allocation of troops were slightly adjusted, and the basic battle plan was completed.

At this time, the banquet was already on the table, and Libera picked up the wine glass and said with a smile: "Two adults, come!" For the victory of this battle! Cheers! ”

"Good! The next celebration will be placed at the Temple of Accra! Bius chimed in.

The three Yaki generals present all ignored the fact that there was only one temple in Accra that Bius was talking about, and that was Durbans. Originally, this was not a big deal, but the point was that the waiter who served on the side had recently received a considerable amount of gold from Jamo, the chief of intelligence of the Dils Army.
