Chapter 102: Planning (1)
Bursts of gunpowder smoke wafted above the battlefield, but the battlefield at this moment was not as riotous as before.
The clutter of ruins was silent at the moment.
Broken weapons remained on the ruins, and the corpses that fell to the ground were dense and hideous, terrifying, and the strong smell of blood filled the nostrils as if they had been transformed into entities, making people almost suffocate.
Seeing that the mercenaries who fled in embarrassment didn't even bother to pick up their weapons, and climbed onto the boat in embarrassment and fled, Daun also breathed a sigh of relief.
While directing the soldiers to seize the ships, they used the "King's Treasure" to clean up the defeated army, and soon the translucent weapons destroyed the ships, sinking the opponent and the ship to the bottom of the sea forever.
This trick is useful against large buildings and dense crowds.
As for why it wasn't used before, it was because the two sides had already been in contact and couldn't use it at all, and it consumed a lot of physical strength.
"Victory, we victory!"
"It's all up to Your Highness that we can win, because when the aura shrouded me, I was so strong that I directly cut off the opponent's weapon!"
"Yes, and just now, His Highness Dao waved his hand, and those guys who escaped were killed!"
"His Highness Daun!!" Karl walked over to Daun in his general's attire, this time to defend the area.
Countless guards cheered, but also with respect.
Carl looked at Daun, who was surrounded by soldiers, as if he had seen the scene of His Majesty's current battle when he was young.
"His Majesty the King is now in charge of the overall situation in the rear, and I will lead the soldiers to fight this war, thanks to His Highness, otherwise we may not be able to win so easily." Karl said with a solemn face.
For Karl, as the general of the Ishtar Kingdom, he has been in the kingdom for so long, and Dawn naturally knows him, and now that the situation is urgent, the two of them have no time to be polite.
"I have a general understanding of the situation, but why did the Kotal Kingdom suddenly invade?"
This is something that Dawn can't understand, even if the situation in the Kingdom of Ikotal is short of food, it won't be so crazy and rash to start a war.
The war broke out so quickly that there was no warning at all, just like a child playing at home, saying that the war would start, and there was no preparation for it.
"We don't know, it's just a surprise attack, but fortunately, we have been vigilant against the invasion of the surrounding countries, and we have set up a defensive line on this side of the coast, and as soon as the other side attacks, they will immediately come to help." Carl shook his head, also unaware.
"Forget it, let's talk about it later, let's clean up the battlefield first."
After Dawn finished speaking, he began to order: "Clean up the battlefield, this is only a temporary victory, remember to arrange patrols to prevent the enemy from sneaking attacks." ”
The ships brought by these mercenaries and the food and weapons on them are a good trophy, which can be used directly without the trouble of transporting them.
Although Daun's actions were a bit overstepping, no one from top to bottom, including Carl, was dissatisfied, and the soldiers were also in high spirits when they heard Daun's orders.
Because Dawn used his strength to prove that he is not an heir who eats and waits for death, but an heir who can take the lead in protecting the country.
"Your Highness, are you alright?" Adolf worried.
"It's okay, you ask the caravan to quickly load the goods, and then we set off into the capital, and when we get to the capital, Anilu, you will stay in the capital first, it is safe there." Dawn looked at Adolf and arranged.
As for Dawn's arrangement, Anilu wanted to say something, but he didn't speak.
Even though he had been practicing since he had been following Daun, his strength was still weaker and not enough to fight.
Looking at Daun's previous battle, Anilu had a sense of crisis, and when he was fighting with people in the warehouse before, he had no choice but to wait because he didn't have the strength.
Now in the kingdom of Ishtar, Dawn wants him to go to the capital to hide, which is unbearable for Anilu who wants to follow Dawn.
But he didn't speak, but silently made up his mind in his heart.
Saying goodbye to Anilu, Dawn took Adolf and others to the capital, and he wanted to go back to find out the overall situation and intelligence.
Karl only received the news of the invasion and hurried to defend himself against the foreign enemy, and did not know much about the whole situation.
And depending on the situation, this time it may be necessary to lead troops to defend against the invasion of the Kotal Kingdom, because now it is just the vanguard of the other party to test its strength.
It is not realistic to start an all-out war in just a few months.
But what happened within the kingdom of Kotal that led to the current situation, these are unknown to Dawn.
Daun could never have imagined that the mastermind behind the scenes was actually the Don Quixote family, and their purpose was to consume the mercenary power of the Kotal Kingdom.
As for attacking the kingdom of Ishtar, it was only because the kingdom of Ishtar was the most powerful country in the surrounding area.
If other countries are attacked, the kingdom of Ishtar may intervene to make a truce between the two sides, or even act as a yellow finch to swallow the kingdom of Kotar.
And now it would be a good idea to attack the kingdom of Ishtar directly.
You can also have a disgusting navy with your hand, presumably the Ishtar Kingdom was attacked by another member country and gave the navy a headache, after all, there was no way to intervene.
And the war will greatly reduce the amount of food sold next year.
And in this way, it can divert the attention of the navy, and if the navy knows that it is the pirates who have occupied a country and provoked the war, then the navy will have a reason to intervene.
Doflamingo was a good man, and he naturally understood the weaknesses of those mercenaries, and easily sent them to death.
In the face of war, it was just a slogan to start a war, and let these mercenaries put on the "vests of soldiers of the Kotal member countries" to give them a legitimate reason to invade the kingdom of Ishtar.
There is no command at all, these mercenaries are just a plate of loose sand, and some people believe that they are pirates.
The reason for putting on the vest is to allow those mercenaries who are unable to make ends meet and want to go crazy for money to attack the kingdom of Ishtar in the name of it.
Otherwise, with their straggler pirate style, I am afraid that it will not be long before the navy finds an excuse to clean up as a large group of pirates.
But now put on a vest for the mercenaries, and then let them organize their own attacks on the kingdom of Ishtar as cannon fodder to consume the opponent's strength first.
Waiting for the Kotal's army to assemble before starting a full-scale war is the best option, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone, depleting the forces of both sides.
On the other hand, Dawn was now riding in a carriage, and although he had wanted to ride a horse before, this plan was thwarted by a call from a phone bug.
The reason for this was the previous battle, Karl had already reported to the capital, and Gaius had to know the news of the victory that Enn had led his army to victory after his return.
This is to reassure people's hearts and minds, and to gain prestige for Dawn, and in the event of a war between one country and another, the prince's personal conquest will give the people a greater sense of belonging.
Even if there are a few complaints from a few dark-minded and selfish guys, they will be suppressed by the general trend, because the heir to the throne is fighting for you, and you have nothing to be dissatisfied with.
But Daun, who was sitting in the carriage at the moment, didn't have much worry about this war, and after talking with Gaius before, he also had a general understanding of the strength between the two countries.
Compared to Ishtar, the situation of the Kotal Kingdom is not good at the moment, food is scarce, and most of the mercenaries are disorderly, and the friction between the two sides before was won by Ishtar.
And what Dawn is thinking about at this moment is how to take advantage of this opportunity to go further.
For example, take down the Kotal.
