Morrison not only didn't believe Blazer's confidence, but was even somewhat angry.
"Your plan, your plan! What if the enemy doesn't attack? What if they actually have more than five thousand men attacking? What will you do then? What if their five thousand cavalry wipe out our five thousand cavalry?" The three questions were increasingly harsh; this was the first time Morrison had spoken so sternly to his colleague. He had always been cautious and mild-mannered because he was originally a surrendered general from Kurman's side and had later been involved in a rebellion. Today, however, Blazer's words reminded him of the previous crushing defeat, and his anger flared instantly.
Yun Zhe had intended to ask, "What if the enemy also uses these five thousand men as bait to stall until their main cavalry force arrives? How would you handle that?" But seeing Morrison's expression, Yun Zhe remained silent, simply curious about Blaze's response.
"If he dares to cower like a coward, we dare to shoot him with bows and crossbows. With such a large force of five thousand men, if he dares to disperse and defend, we dare to wipe him out. If he gathers together, we will attack the places he cannot support in time. In short, it won't be so easy for him to leave."
Morrison wanted to object, but after thinking about it, he realized that it was indeed a viable option. If he were Belvaldo's general, he probably wouldn't choose a passive defensive strategy either. So he just snorted and looked at Yun Zhe.
Charles, who was standing to the side, was terrified. He had never heard of the things they were discussing, especially the man named Blazer, who seemed to be very skilled in the use of cavalry.
Clearly, the two young men in front of him were Yun Zhe's most trusted generals.
“Brazer, you actually only have a few dozen cavalrymen, not five thousand. Those cavalrymen aren’t yours, and they might not be as disciplined as you say.” Yun Zhe stretched and saw Blazer’s face change from smug to dejected, and his mood also sank.
“Don’t think about that, Blazer. Your suggestion is good. I’ll mention it to those people. Of course, I also hope that General Tedler will have a better strategy.” Yun Zhe stood up, patted Blazer on the shoulder, and then looked at Charles with a smile.
Charles had completely abandoned his disrespectful attitude. Although he was a rough man, he understood the value and significance of an excellent general. Clearly, Yun Zhe had at least two good generals under his command, so he himself was naturally an even better general. Based on this simple logic, Charles bowed respectfully and gestured for Yun Zhe to leave with him.
A black shadow suddenly appeared beside Yun Zhe. Charles immediately realized who the shadow was, but he only glanced at it before turning his head away and cautiously leading the way without looking back.
“It’s safe for me to go over there, you stay here,” Yun Zhe said softly, pulling Akdina aside.
Akdina glanced at Charles's retreating figure, nodded and then shook her head, determined to go.
Yun Zhe couldn't understand Akdina's thoughts at this moment, but he still blocked her way and then gestured to Morrison, "Have you chosen your guards yet? If you have, come with me!"
Charles was slightly taken aback. He suddenly realized that the two generals he had just praised were actually just captains of the guard.
Blazer clearly wanted to go too, but Yun Zhe stopped him, saying, "You and Cyrus reorganize the troops; we might be launching an attack soon." Ignoring Blazer's slightly disappointed and embarrassed look, Yun Zhe led Morrison straight out of the camp.
Akdina remained standing in the camp, looking in the direction where Yun Zhe had disappeared.
Seeing this, Blaze could only marvel at Yun Zhe's extraordinary charm as an Aluru, which had made an elf so devoted to him.
He was about to leave when Akdina unexpectedly grabbed him.
Blazer stared in surprise at the pair of beautiful eyes before him. He couldn't fathom the meaning behind Akdina's gesture.
"Hurry up, Yun Zhe is in danger." After saying this, Akdina turned around, grabbed a horse, and rushed out of the camp.
Blazer paused, unable to see what danger Yun Zhe might be in, nor could he understand why Akdina would say such a thing. But Blazer immediately thought of a possibility: organizing the soldiers to go there was something Yun Zhe couldn't say in front of Charles, and could only tell them through Akdina, who remained behind.
Blazer suddenly became excited, forgetting all about Cyrus not wanting to see him, and immediately ran over to discuss the relevant preparations.
Akdina was not a prophet; she spoke these words primarily because a soldier who accompanied Charles saw something he shouldn't have.
This soldier was unlucky. By sheer coincidence, while preparing bathwater for General Tedler last night, he saw a roll of parchment on the table. As he passed by, he inadvertently saw the words, "If you can't, kill him; don't leave him for Serena." And then, by sheer coincidence, he became one of the five to be killed today. And this thoughtful soldier, through Yun Zhe's discussion with his subordinates and General Tedler's behavior today, inadvertently concluded that the subject of the sentence on the parchment was none other than Yun Zhe himself.
Akdina, who was standing nearby, caught this dangerous thought. Akdina knew about it, but she didn't know if Yun Zhe knew, so even after seeing Yun Zhe's confidence, she still asked Blaze to make the preparations.
Meanwhile, Tedler sat in his tent, staring at the parchment for almost the entire morning.
The parchment was secretly given to him by Anelsald before his departure, saying it was a secret letter from his grandfather. Tedler didn't think much of it at the time. But after reading the contents of the letter, he couldn't help but begin to doubt whether it truly was Duke Sald's intention.
The secret letter was filled with many things, but the second to last one puzzled Tedler the most.
"Bring that Aruru to our side. If you can't, kill him. Don't leave him for Serena."
This behavior was completely unlike that of the Duke. But since it had already been written in a secret letter, he couldn't simply ignore it.
Therefore, he was eager to see that Aruru person, namely Yun Zhe. As for the war, that was not important. The secret letter had already stated, "Ensuring that the troops do not suffer heavy losses is the top priority."
