"I heard that Jialai was attacked?" Yun Zhe cut to the chase, stopping people from asking questions. "I'm fine. Just return those weapons and mithril armor to me later."
"Ars's soldiers have already appeared outside the city of Jialai, but the actual attack has not yet begun. At least, it hadn't started when the messenger left," Andrew coughed lightly and answered slowly.
Hearing the cough, Serena looked away and turned to Andrew. "So, what should we do? Fight back?"
“We should fight back, otherwise everyone will think we’re easy to bully,” Andrew replied helplessly. He didn’t really want to start a war at this time. After all, everything regarding the refugees was just getting on track, and they were about to reap good benefits. Sending troops to fight now was not an ideal opportunity.
"Let them think that way, and I don't think Jialai is in any danger." Yun Zhe paused for a moment. "There are reasons why I say Jialai isn't in danger. First, Jialai's strength might not be weak at all. Second, based on my experience fighting Ars last time, he has some military acumen, but his grasp of the situation isn't precise enough. He will most likely prioritize attacking our garrison. In this case, they've actually misunderstood their military objectives and thus lost the initiative. He hasn't realized that if our garrison is completely wiped out, then he won't have the strength to continue attacking Jialai."
Andrew frowned. He naturally appreciated Yun Zhe's recognition of his army's strength, but in his experience, eliminating a force of five hundred men should not completely eliminate the possibility of continuing the siege, after all, the walls of Jialai City were not high.
"He won't launch a full-scale attack on our garrison. He'll be on guard against attacks from Jialai, which will tie his hands and prevent him from achieving good results. Besides, if your brother had any sense, he would only need to send his soldiers on an armed parade, and our garrison would be saved. Of course, your brother would definitely do that."
Andrew nodded, then smiled helplessly. Yes, his brother was more than just a little bit smart.
"What a pity. He should have focused on Jialai, which would have allowed him to see your brother's potential. It's a shame he doesn't understand; we're the ones watching the show," Yun Zhe said with a slight pout.
