"Before the meeting begins, I would like to ask the young master, what is your battle plan?" the commander of the infantry regiment, Sherrisbourne, asked first.

Although everyone acquiesced to the identity of the Supreme Commander of Lyon, even the battle-hardened veterans could not think of any way to hold the city of Pakabe, and they did not believe Lyon in any way.

"As things stand, we have to hold on. Winter is just around the corner, and as long as we can survive until the snow falls, the Carson Empire will naturally retreat. Leon spoke his mind.

"You all know that, but do you think we'll be able to hold out until then?" began to stir up in the room.

This plan had already been thought of by them when they were fighting on the front line! However, in the face of the Carson Empire's absolute superiority in strength, it was impossible to defend it.

Leon's plan is equal to no plan, and everyone gradually becomes uneasy.

"That's why we need this combat meeting!" Leon said categorically as his voice sank.

Seeing Leon's serious expression, everyone stopped talking and sat down separately.

"First of all, can anyone report to me on the strength and movements of the Carson Empire's army?" Leon glanced at everyone present.

The captain of the Special Mobile Force, Harris, stood up and reported to Leon: "I am willing to provide the young master with the information we currently have!"

In addition to carrying out some special tasks in peacetime, the special mobile unit also has the mission of mastering intelligence.

"Well, there's Lord Raohalis, then. First of all, explain to me the distribution of the Carson Empire's army and the state of its strength!"

At present, the Carson Imperial army is divided into two legions, occupying Soma City and Vervirg City respectively, and the strength of the two legions is about 3,000 men each. The Soma City Corps consisted of 200 cavalry, 800 archers, and the rest were infantry, while the Vovig Corps consisted of 500 cavalry, 500 archers, and the rest were infantry. In addition, the Carson Empire is sending reinforcements to arrive, and it is estimated that they will arrive tomorrow. According to reliable intelligence, the troops that arrived were about four thousand people, of which one thousand cavalry, one thousand archers, and the rest were infantry. ”

Leon continued: "What about our troops?"

"Our original garrison was 3,000 men. Due to the surprise attack of the Carson Empire on the first two cities, we could no longer hold it when we reacted, so we retreated directly to Pakabe City. The casualties were about 500, plus the original defenders of the city of Pakabe, a total of 3,200. Of these, 500 cavalry, 1,000 archers, the rest were infantry and 200 special mobile units. ”

After listening to Harris's report, everyone present gasped. For the sake of a small city of Pakabe, the Carson Empire did not hesitate to use more than three times the strength of the Warwick Kingdom Army.

"More than three times the troops?" Leon propped his hands on the table, thinking about the information he had just gotten.

"Is there a mage regiment?" Leon asked, looking up at Harris.

"According to the report of the undercover agent, it seems that the Imperial side did not send a mage regiment in this battle!"

"I see, it seems that the news that we will not send the mage group has also been transmitted back to the empire by the other party's undercover agents. Leon said worriedly.

When they heard Leon confirm that the Warwick Kingdom would not send reinforcements from the mage group, everyone looked like ashes.

If a mage enters the war, there may be a glimmer of hope to hold on. Now it's completely a simple confrontation of ordinary troops, and trying to resist three times the strength of oneself is tantamount to a fantasy!

Leon ignored everyone's low morale and continued to ask, "If you are the commander of the Carson Empire, how will you attack the city of Pakabe?"

The commander of the cavalry regiment, Kazakh, stood up and said to Leon: "My lord, the minister thinks that it is the best way to take the city of Pakabe in three ways as quickly as possible!"

Indeed, all three legions of the empire could stand alone against the defenders of the kingdom. The best way to attack Pakabe City from three sides is to directly divide the troops into three directions. Even if the defenders of the kingdom were to concentrate their forces against one of the legions, the remaining two legions would be able to reach the city and carry out the siege!

The rest of the generals also nodded in agreement.

"Young master, what do you think?" asked Kazakh tentatively.

"Four thousand men will arrive tomorrow, and if it is repaired for one day, the fastest will be to carry out the siege plan the day after tomorrow!" Leon did not answer, because he was using the information he had obtained to think of a strategy. "The number of cavalry reinforcements is the largest among the three legions, and the number of cavalry in Soma City is the least, so ......"

"Sherisbourne and Yuri, if you were to lead your men to defend the city of Pakabe, how many enemy attacks would you be able to resist?" Leon suddenly looked up and asked them.

"The combined strength of the two of us is only two thousand five hundred men, and if we count the advantage of the defenders, we can probably resist the attack of four thousand men!" Cherisbourne replied truthfully to Leon, and Yuri nodded.

"Four thousand men are a legion of the Empire. That means if the Empire has two legions involved in the siege, then we will be defeated, right?" Leon looked at Sherisbon and Yuri.

"As it stands, yes!" is a great shame for a soldier to say such a thing, but it is true.

There was silence in the conference room, and Leon was lost in thought.

After a long time, Leon raised his head and asked Harris, the leader of the Special Mobile Force, "Harris, can you take your subordinates into Soma City?"

Harris immediately stood up and confidently replied, "Of course!

"That's fine! I'm going to announce the battle plan for this time. Leon seemed to have some confidence after receiving an affirmative answer.

"Yes!" the crowd stood and waited for Leon's order.

"Sherisbourne, Yuri!"

"In!"

"Your two troops are in charge of the defense of Pakabe City, be ready at all times!"

"Yes!"

"Kazakh!"

"In!"

"You and your cavalry regiment are ready, you are responsible for containing the Carson Empire's corps stationed in Soma City! their cavalry is only two hundred, as long as they do not enter the range of their archers, there should be no threat to you. ”

"Yes!"

"Then this is the end of this meeting!

“......”

The retainers present were almost about to scold their mothers! What kind of battle plan is this? Let's not say that it will not work, just let the 500 cavalry to contain the opponent's 3,000-strong legion, this is the mantis arm as a car! Take a step back, even if this mantis arm really blocked this car in a daze, how can two other cars as big as this one stop?

"Do you have any questions?" said Leon, who saw that everyone was about to speak.

"Young Master, even if the legions of Soma City do not participate in the siege, the remaining two legions are not something we can defend against!" said to Leon, after all, Leon had personally confirmed this situation!

"Did I tell you to face two legions?" Leon asked rhetorically.

"Young Master, even if Kazakhstan can contain the legions in Soma City, what should the Legion of Vervirg City and the Imperial reinforcements do?"

"You are only facing the 4,000 reinforcements of the Empire! Excluding 1,000 cavalry and some logistics troops, the siege should not exceed 2,500 men. Are you trying to say that these two thousand five hundred people can't resist it?" Leon explained with a smile.

"Who is the Legion of the City of Evervirg to contain?" Yuri was also puzzled, wondering why Leon had come to such a conclusion.

"By my lieutenant, Bill Frank, of course!"

As soon as Leon's words came out, everyone was amazed.

Bill was also confused, and hurriedly said, "Wait, which people do you give me?"

Which people to bring, Leon really didn't think about it, and asked casually: "Dad, how many people are in your personal guard?"

"Thirty!" Bill said in a huff. This kid casually let me get it done, isn't this a cheat!

"Well, then take these people with you!" Leon nodded. Seems to be quite satisfied with this amount.

Now it's everyone's turn not to be calm. Shouldn't this kid want to kill his father right now, and rightfully be the head of the family?

"Then everyone will follow the order and adjourn the meeting!" Leon did not wait for everyone to stop him, and directly exited the conference room, lest they ask if they had any fun.

In fact, it was not that Leon deliberately did not say it, but he was afraid that there would be undercover agents in the empire in the city, and it would not be good if the plan was exposed. If you don't know what you don't know, give it to them.

Leon returned to the room his father had arranged for him, and after sending Vetelle to get dinner, he immediately called out Xuedia.

"Is there anything you want me to come out of?" asked Xue Yuanya as she sat down on her stool.

"Lord Xuedia!" Leon knelt down in front of Xuedia, snorting and tearing, how miserable it was.

"Impossible!" she refused.

Leon was also stunned: "You haven't asked anything yet!"

"No matter what, if it doesn't work, it won't work!"

Leon wondered, could it be that his appearance was not bad enough?

"Mistress Xuedia, you can help me this time!" Leon almost cried as he hugged Xuedia's thigh.

"No! I told you before I set off that I am only responsible for you alone, and I don't care about anything else!"

"Lord Xuedia! Just this time! If you help me, I will promise you everything!" For the lives of his father's soldiers, Leon had to pay for it.

Xuedia paused: "Anything?"

Leon looked up, looked at Xuedia with tears in his eyes, and nodded vigorously.

"Only this time!" said Xuedia fiercely. After all, the temptation of "anything" is too great!
