Volume 1 Chapter 123 An unexpected battle on the battlefield, Marcus's guess

Lynch had no idea that the kingdom was making a choice about what was happening in Graceland.

He knew nothing about politics, and in such a short period of time, he had no idea of ​​the ways of the nobles.

What will happen if something gets wrong?

He thought about... running away!

Space magic is such a practical magic technique, it would be a waste of resources if we don't use it.

At this time, Lynch was still above Selby City, witnessing with his own eyes the disaster he had brought to Selby City.

The goblins and dwarves had killed all the soldiers in Selby. They collected the spoils and slowly retreated out of the city.

Xiao Hei and those flying dragons were still spewing dragon fire towards Selby City. They wanted to turn this majestic city into complete ruins.

Nothing is more horrifying than the destruction of a city that has stood for three hundred years.

And fear is the best way to demoralize the Selby army watching on Victory Hill.

"Sir, we have been slaughtering the people of Selby for a long time. It won't be long before the information reaches Archduke Garcia. Perhaps the information was already conveyed when we captured the fortress of Selby."

Marcus looked at the burning main city of Selby expressionlessly, as if the destruction of a mighty city was nothing to him. He said respectfully to Lynch, "If I were the Grand Duke of Garcia, I would never return to Selby City under such circumstances, because even if I return, without the protection of the city, the defensive advantage of the Selby soldiers will be lost."

"Yeah." Lin Qi nodded, frowned and asked, "What do you think of the current situation?"

Hearing Lynch's question, Marcus's expression became even more serious.

He thought for a while and said, "Fort Origi, all the soldiers are now on the front line defending against the orcs. Even if they know what happened in Selby City, they can do nothing about it. Even if they want to deal with it, they will focus on defending the nearby territories and will not rescue Archduke Garcia at all."

"Because they know that our Land of Grace is a new territory. Even if we capture Selby City, we don't have enough administrators and troops to take over Selby! Even if we lose this war, Selby will still be the territory of Fort Origi, but they need to negotiate with us."

"The real problem we are facing now is Archduke Garcia. His city has been destroyed, and he is no longer restrained. Instead, he has become a beast out of his cage. If I were him, at this time, I would gather my forces and march towards the Land of Grace, and station there to avoid losses in the subsequent negotiations."

"Of course, there are other possibilities. But if such a possibility occurs, it has nothing to do with us. On the contrary, we will gain great benefits."

Suddenly Marcus laughed, and he said with interest: "A lion that is angry because of being injured will not necessarily only eat the enemy who injured him, but other people will also be implicated."

"Huh?" Lynch blinked.

It feels like war is a huge subject that is closely related to politics.

"Sir, look." Marcus opened a piece of parchment, drew a circle on it, and handed it to Lynch.

The location of the circle is the territory near the Land of God’s Grace, a large but rich territory with insufficient military forces!

Marcus said to Lynch, "The best defense is offense! The terrain of our Grace Land is complex, and the goblins and dwarves are good at setting traps. After suffering this, I will definitely not seek trouble in Grace Land again. I will turn around and maximize the benefits of this irreversible war."

"The way to gain the greatest benefit and stop the loss in time is to conquer this territory before anyone has time to react! Although doing so will worsen the relationship between our Kingdom of Clay and Castle Origi, that is in the interests of the kingdom, not the interests of the nobles."

"Even if that territory is implicated, they dare not get angry with you, sir. Even if they blame you, they can only think about it in their hearts. On the contrary, after they are captured, they will look for you to negotiate with Archduke Garcia, because you are the one who broke through the city of Selby and forced Archduke Garcia into a desperate situation. So the people of this territory can only ask you to help negotiate."

"In this way, you can achieve the greatest benefit without affecting the fundamental interests of the two territories."

Lynch pondered.

It seems that I still need a lot of time to learn this subject...

At the beginning, Lynch thought that as long as he defeated Selby, he would be able to own Selby's territory.

But now it seems that it is not that simple.

The management of territory, military strength, controllable area, division of territory, etc. are all issues outside of war.

"So what do you think we should do now?" Lynch asked shamelessly.

But when he asked this, Marcus stood up on the dragon's back, knelt on one knee towards Lynch, bowed his head and said to Lynch: "Thank you, sir."

Marcus was touched.

In his opinion, a senior master like Lynch must understand everything.

It is even possible that all factors have been considered.

Now that I ask myself this question, I am sure that I am trying to cultivate myself.

So touching.

"Get up and talk." Lynch's face turned dark.

I always feel that my subordinates are a little stupid. They like to kneel down in front of me when they have nothing to do.

"Yes, sir." Marcus stood up and sat back on the dragon's back.

He pondered for a long time before saying to Lynch: "We should stay in Selby for now and continue to massacre nearby towns. The massacre we caused in Selby will inevitably hinder Archduke Garcia and make him face various pressures. Whether we can maximize the benefits, we..."

After a pause, Marcus said, "It depends on whether Paul and his men can lead the dwarf and goblin armies. Archduke Garcia is a wise man, and he now faces two choices. One, attack the Land of God's Grace. Two, attack the territories near the Land of God's Grace. However, these two things can be done at the same time."

"If Paul and his men could stop the Archduke of Garcia's army, he would definitely choose the second option to recover his losses."

Lynch frowned. Did he want to see the 'unreliable foursome' that was deliberately left in the army?

Why do I feel like I'm going to suffer a loss?

Can those idiots do it?

As if seeing Lynch's worries, Marcus smiled and said, "Sir, please rest assured. With the advantages of the dwarves and goblins, plus the intelligence of Paul and Borg, they will not lose."

Intelligence and talent......

Lynch was skeptical.
