Before you know it, an undercurrent is surging in the Terrela King's capital.

Was it an accidental joke at a banquet of a noble young master, or was it an inadvertent remark in a letter from His Royal Highness the Prince to a friend? In short, the idea of "attacking the Great Swamp in advance with a small number of elites this year" quickly spread among the young people of the great nobles.

The idea did have a certain viability - gathering veterans who had fought at least two swamp raids and taking advantage of the autumn harvest could make the stupid barbarians and scaly creatures in the swamp unexpected.

For offensive warfare, "surprise" is a great advantage. And as long as the early stage is advantageous, the attacking army will immediately turn into a defensive army and firmly hold the occupied land. At this time, follow-up helpers can also gradually come to help consolidate the defense line, and the rest is to slowly digest the results.

The biggest advantage of this approach is that the vast majority of the results belong to the "attackers", and the later "defenders" can only share the soup. This means that those nobles and knights who participated in the attack will receive far more credit and glory than usual.

The risks will be lower, but the benefits will be much more, and the allure of this plan can be imagined.

So soon, the younger generation of the royal capital was moved by the words, and each advocated this plan to the elders in the family.

Among these people, the most vocal is naturally the Prince of Zion. However, his suggestion was rejected by his sister, Princess Fisna, who believed that no matter how much credit was given to the battle, it was not worth the risk for the heir of the kingdom.

It is true that the risk may not be too great, but fighting a war is a very uncertain thing, and even if it is a war that is won 10 out of 10%, there may be accidents.

And neither the Kingdom of Trella nor the Prince of Zion himself can afford the consequences of this "accident".

The prince was not convinced, so the princess gave the example of the civil war in Thrace.

"Who would have thought that the result would be like that before the civil war in Thrace began?" she asked, "if you were some great nobleman on the Thracian side, would you have imagined that it would be a situation where both sides would be almost destroyed?"

The prince's eyes widened suddenly, and he said a little unconvinced: "It was just an accidental accident!"

"Accidents can always happen!" sighed the princess, "and war is the place where 'accidents' are most likely to happen!"

The prince was a little speechless, and turned to look at his father.

This time, His Majesty supported his daughter's view.

"We don't have to fight for the credit and the glory. He said, "We don't lack this...... Zion, the king, does not need more merit and glory, on the contrary, he has to get used to giving merit and glory to his subordinates. Because all the credit and glory are indispensable to him in the end. I hope you can understand this. ”

The discussion of the king's family came to an end, but His Royal Highness's withdrawal did not make the confident young people give up, on the contrary, when they learned that His Royal Highness would not participate in the invasion of the Swamp, they became more and more positive - if His Royal Highness went down, then the leader of the army must be him, and the main credit must also be his. But if the prince doesn't go, everyone can fight......

In this case, not to mention the children of the great nobles, even among the royal family, there are some young people who want to become famous.

The old men in power were both relieved and worried to see the young people so motivated - they could certainly understand the merits of this plan, which on the face of it seemed to be truly impeccable. But, as the princess said, there are always accidents in war, and no one wants their children to encounter such "accidents".

So, it was the turn of the old men to negotiate urgently.

They didn't have to think long before they made the decision to form the Swamp Invasion Army, but this time the commander-in-chief of the army was Duke Harrett's son-in-law, Singald Hallett.

The choice of Singled as manager was the result of careful consideration and careful discussion among the old men.

The civilian-born general was capable and experienced in fighting the Swamp - he fought eleven battles against the Swamp, and although he won and lost, his army did not suffer even a single serious loss. This steady style and reliable luck are exactly what the old men need.

Moreover, Singled came from a low background and was limited by his status, even if he received more merits and glory, it would no longer mean much to him himself - as a wealthy person, he did not have the right to stand on his own. His exploits can only bring some meaningful benefits to his son - unless he makes unimaginable miraculous feats, if this credit is to be "discounted", the old man will have to pay far less than letting someone else be the manager.

Duke Harrett himself has a lot of opinions on this. He said that this credit can be obtained by his daughter, and it is not that his daughter cannot be divided.

However, the other old men will not just hand over their benefits, they immediately say, as long as your daughter goes to war, you can say anything.

Duke Harrett did not have much love for a wealthy son-in-law, but he did cherish his daughter. So he immediately shook his head, and the topic naturally ceased.

Time passed quickly, and before August was over, the entire battle plan had already been decided. By the beginning of September, an army of about 2,000 men had been reorganized and ready to go.

The elite of the army was staggering, and the entire army consisted almost entirely of cavalry, at least a third of whom came from aristocratic families. All the great nobles of Terrera and even the children of the royal family joined this army one after another, so much so that some people said with malice that "if this army is completely destroyed, most of the nobles of Terrela will have to change their heirs".

They will set off from the royal capital and go directly to the Swamp to launch a military operation. After they set off, the follow-up troops will follow with their baggage and meet them.

And the leader of this army is Singerd Hallett, a general who has always had a series of seemingly contradictory reputations such as "bravery, cunning, and steady".

On September 10, the army was officially opened. The cavalry of 2,000 men marched along the main road towards the east of the royal capital.

Inside the Travelers' castle, a small command post was temporarily built inside a communications tower.

Alice, the "Great Demon King" who presided over the script writing, changed into a serious black dress, held a microphone made of magic, first coughed a few times in a fake manner, and then announced in the chat channel with an expression of "the big show is about to start".
