"You are the Marquis of Annu, right?"
Sean looked at a noble who was walking up behind him and asked.
The other party followed beside Seria without saying a word, but the temperament he displayed was much better than those dandies in the imperial capital... Although not all imperial nobles were like Aiden, after all, living in that circle, many people were more or less infected with that kind of temperament.
But Anu behaved in a completely different way.
"Yes, Your Highness Sean!" Anu whispered.
Marquis.
Even though it was a great title in the entire empire, it seemed very ordinary in front of the dandy people in the imperial capital and the prince and princess themselves. In fact, the other party's entire status was only that of an earl at most, and the reason for the conferment seemed to be related to the giving up of Lugang.
"You did a great job. At least you were willing to send troops to break through Kharistan's defenses. I also heard that it was under your command that we were able to resist wave after wave of attacks recently!"
Overall, the other party is indeed a talent.
I heard that Anu relied on his own ability to seize the inheritance rights of the legitimate son from a bastard's son, and now there seems to be no one from his family in the entire Kesha City. It is conceivable that the other party also used overt and covert means in that struggle.
Anyone who can come out of that kind of environment is a master!
At least in terms of mentality, it is completely incomparable to ordinary people.
"Your Highness, you are joking. Kesha City was originally my territory. Even if there is no reinforcement, I will fight to the death." Anu said.
"Oh! Well... I'm a little curious, how would you deal with the current situation if I hadn't brought reinforcements?" Sean asked.
This looks like some kind of assessment...
Seria beside her seemed to be about to speak but was stopped by Frelia.
This was Sean's question, and of course he hoped the other party would answer it personally.
Anu thought about it and finally said.
"In that case, I can only mobilize all my soldiers to break out. Using the entire force of Kexia City, I can allow the princess and the main force to escape to the sea. Near Lugang, there is our country's strongest naval fleet. We can completely rely on the advantage of the sea to maneuver and wait for us to recapture Kexia City..."
Yes, this result is exactly the worst I imagined.
And it was said by the Lord here...
The fact that they were able to proactively evacuate their territory indicated that the other party had already made such plans. Even if it was the worst-case scenario, they dared to give up their own foundation for the sake of the overall situation.
After all, it would be troublesome if Seria was caught by the people of Kalistan, and she would become a bargaining chip!
"Well, you have some ideas. This time, I'd also like to ask you how you plan to fight against the people of Kharistan."
Now that the vanguard of the Flying Dragon Knights has arrived, coupled with the wizards led by Lucille and Frelia, and the infantry will soon follow, the Kalistan troops in the entire territory of Kosha City will have no chance of survival in the short term...
But simply driving them away is not enough.
Jagong is originally a big country. If a big country does not fight back when attacked, it will not be able to convince those desert countries in the future, and it will be difficult to explain to its people.
Therefore, they must fight back, and fight back in a beautiful crushing manner. The best thing is to capture the opponent's king alive and make them admit their mistakes in front of the Sun King. That would be the only way.
"The Khalistani forces within the country are insignificant. I suggest distributing weapons to various small towns and having them organize militia patrols. I also suggest stationing some of our soldiers there to assist in suppressing any stragglers who might attack. As for the Khalistani regular forces, I imagine... they were already organizing their defenses when we launched this offensive."
Anu's thoughts were almost identical to Sean's.
Khalistan does not have the strength to fight Jagun head-on, so in the end they can only fight on the defensive. Due to various reasons, even if the opponent is defending, Sean needs to attack.
Therefore, we must come up with effective solutions.
"This method is feasible, but the fortifications on the border are not so easy," said Sean.
"Don't worry, Your Highness Sean. Over the years, I have already strengthened many locations along the border. Not only are there paths for people to walk on and bunkers for them to pass through, I have also made arrangements for many other places."
Anu's words surprised everyone present.
I didn’t expect that this lord on the border would consider the entire place!
"Because I know that our border troops are not strong in combat, I have spent six or seven years to build a place where I can attack and defend. However, this time, Khalistan's attack was so sudden that our defense did not show any effect. However, there is definitely no problem with the attack route."
Anu assured.
It seems that he is a ruthless person who has been prepared for the possible war.
This is a necessary course for a border lord, but it is something that few people will actually spend energy on. When I first arrived in Oro City, I didn't have the extra money and energy to do this.
Otherwise, the Golden Group would not have been able to attack so smoothly.
"Then let's do this. I'll have the troops march out tonight and push all the way to the border defense line. We'll recapture our border area as quickly as possible. As for the internal defense, Marquis Anu will be in charge... Melsusa, you will lead the troops there."
"clear!"
Over the years, Melsusa may be the general who has participated in the most battles. In terms of his status in the entire Jagun army, Melsusa is showing a tendency to become the grand marshal.
Although Jia Gong does not hold this position, she is the most meritorious person in recent times.
"As for Ben Tari, you will be responsible for the arrival of follow-up troops to support the border this season. Once we recover the lost territory, we will carry the flames of war into the enemy's territory and incite local rebellion. Marquis Annu should be more aware of this."
Anu didn't expect that His Highness Sean would fight in this way.
This seems a bit inhumane, or not fair...
With Jagun's army, they could easily crush the enemy, even in a head-on battle.
"I know you all have doubts, but I still insist on fighting this way. We must minimize losses and casualties and end the battle quickly. Although I don't know why these two countries suddenly launched an attack on us, I think the reason behind it is probably more than that."
It's like hitting a rock with an egg...
Any normal king would not do such a thing.
“We understand!”
Everyone present was smart, and they knew the other party's purpose after hearing Sean's order.
The most important thing now is to end the battle as quickly as possible. As for whether we can capture the opponent's king alive, we will talk about it when the time comes!
