Act XLIV. Countermeasures (II)

"I think we should take the initiative and take advantage of this opportunity to break Astor completely. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

As soon as he had said this, Griffith saw Viscount Crassus, who was like a giant bear, stand up and look at him with a questioning look.

"What are you talking about, Lord Balmonk, this is clearly Aster's trap, and we can't step into it?"

The two days of trapping have been a source of distraction for Viscount Crassus, who, though he may seem fierce and belligerent, is in fact a thoughtful man who is good at planning before acting.

"I also don't think it's appropriate, Astelle's action is clearly luring us into pursuit, perhaps, more ambushes are in the forest ahead, even if we want to act, we should wait until we figure out the situation before we do it."

Viscount Vlamile was also a rational man, and he often served as a military advisor in the Legion, complementing the bold and courageous Count Ecrio.

"Tell me what you think, Griffith."

Count Ecrio did not comment on the words of the two viscounts, and he asked directly to Griffith, who was seated.

"It's true that Astelle's move was so deliberate that no matter how you think about it, you can only think that it is trying to lure us into attacking, but this is also the best chance."

Griffith picked up the wooden glass on the table and took a sip of warm red wine.

"If Astor keeps hiding, we will have little to do about it, and we will have to ask Salas. The Earl of Lexington asks for help, I don't think you want to see that happen, do you, Lord Earl? ”

"If we want that old guy to help, then where will we put the face of the Eastern Front Army!?"

Viscount Oragil replied in place of Count Ekrio, slamming the table hard.

"So, what we need now is a strategy to break the game, and we are on a fairly passive side, so now, since Astel has taken the initiative, if we are still hesitating in place, won't we have lost this great opportunity in vain?"

Slowly, Griffith glanced at the few nobles present.

"Since Aster's purpose is to lure us into sending troops, then we will follow their wishes and send a part of our army to snipe at the scurrying light cavalry, since it is only to attract our attention, then the harassing cavalry will definitely not be in love, as soon as they see our army, they will retreat, and guide us to the location of the main army of Aster."

"At that point, we will be able to fight Astor in a decisive battle and annihilate him......"

Viscount Eric nodded, Griffith's idea is indeed valuable, after all, on the frontal battlefield, Astel is no match for Wendland's iron cavalry no matter what, and they don't have to worry about combat effectiveness at all.

"That's ...... true"

Viscount Crassus also fell into thought after hearing Griffith's strategy, he has been formulating strategies with thorough considerations, but he has never thought of the strategy of taking the initiative to break the situation.

"However, since they have taken the initiative to attack, the nobles of Astor will not have completely ignored this problem and lured us to send troops, then there must be measures to respond, and at that time, how should we deal with it?"

Viscount Vlamier, although he did not directly oppose Griffith's proposal, raised several points.

"Aster's tactics are nothing more than to divide and outflank, divide our army, and then suppress it with a small numerical advantage, only in this way, it is possible to gain an advantage in the battle with us, then, we can do the opposite, gather the troops, never pursue the fleeing scattered enemy, and directly fight with Aster's large army."

Griffith, who looked like a goatee, Viscount Vlamir, said the answer he had already thought of.

"The scattered heavy cavalry will be gradually eaten away by the nimble light cavalry in this forest, but in a group, then this torrent of steel will inevitably destroy Aster's weak defenses, Lord Vlamir, what do you think?"

"That's a good idea."

Viscount Vlamir's eyes were slightly closed, as if agreeing with Griffith's opinion.

"Then, our vanguard will definitely be attacked by Astor the fiercest, but if we send too weak generals, we will not be able to achieve the effect of breaking through......"

Viscount Eric touched his chin and looked at Griffith with a meaningful look.

"Does Lord Eric mean that one of us has to take the lead?"

Viscount Olagil said what Viscount Eric meant, and he tapped his index finger on the table, as if thinking.

"In terms of strength, Lord Eric and Lord Balmonk are the most suitable, and the strength of the silver peak, even if he meets that ranger general, he has the power to fight."

Viscount Crassus looked at the two of them.

"Hmm...... It's better for me to lead Wendland to victory. ”

Viscount Eric was the first to speak, and he stood up, looking ready to fight Astor immediately.

"No, although Viscount Eric is strong, he has not fought with Astelle's cavalry too many times, and if he goes like this, he may suffer a loss......"

Viscount Vlamir said, turning his gaze to Griffith to one side.

"In my opinion, Viscount Balmonk is highly powerful, and has a lot of experience in fighting with the Asterl light cavalry, and the White Lion Knights led by him have not tasted defeat, so why don't you come with Lord Balmonk?"

The four viscounts all looked at Griffith across the table, and Count Ecrio was silent.

Wendland is at war with Astor at the same time, he also has a chaotic power struggle, in this Eastern Front Army, Viscount Vlamir and Viscount Crassus are one faction, Viscount Eric and Viscount Oragiel are the other faction, and Griffiths is the third force that does not belong to the two, at present, the four viscounts are clearly taking advantage of this opportunity to make Griffith jump into the fire pit, everyone knows that in this war, the front, the first to step into the enemy's trap, that is a dangerous life, If Griffith can defeat Astor and lead the victory of the war, it will be fine, if he goes deep into the enemy army, and the subsequent Wendland troops do not help, then even with the strength of the silver peak, it will be difficult for Griffith to survive.

They wanted to take the opportunity to eradicate dissidents, and Count Ecrio, although he had a close relationship with Griffith, could only remain silent considering the complex power game among the nobles.

I saw that the handsome young man with silver hair only gently stroked the hair on his forehead, and a meaningful smile appeared on his face.

"In that case, then I will be the vanguard and test Astel."

There was no excuse, no evasion, Griffith only accepted, and he saw a hint of surprise in Count Ecrio's eyes, but in the end, the young Earl nodded.

"Then, it is up to Griffith to lead the White Lion Knights to stop Aster's light cavalry, and we will follow closely with the main force of Wendland, and once we find Aster's main force, we will attack with all our strength and annihilate it in this forest."

Count Ecrio originally thought that if Griffith refused, he would come forward and send another baron to lead the attack, but the silver-haired young man in front of him seemed to be confident, and he actually agreed, and in doubt, he could only nod his head and agree, after all, nominally, this was a glorious task.

"Yes, Lord Count."

Griffith stood up and bowed slightly, the roaring white lion on his shoulder armor was his father Braavos. The coat of arms of the Duke of Balmonck, at this moment, is reflected in the candlelight, reflecting a dazzling light.

"Then we'll set off in a quarter of an hour, all in armor, ready to fight!"

Count Ecrio also stood up, giving Griffith a glance.

Griffith...... Be careful. ”

"Yes, Lord Earl, I wish you good luck."

In the face of Count Ecrio's advice, Griffith just nodded silently and gave a military salute.
