"Marshal, we found nine elven villages yesterday, and they have all been destroyed. We have captured about 600 female elves." As soon as he got online, Maccon rushed over to report to Li Huailin. "Marshal, what should we do with the captives?"
"Send the logistics team to suppress them. They are useless here, and they will only slow us down. "Li Huailin waved his hand casually and said," How's the intelligence on the elves? "
"The Silverwind Guards must have received the report of our invasion, and they should be heading towards us now, but we don't know their exact location yet," Maccon said.
"Eh … why?" Li Huailin asked.
"This is the elves' territory, and it is difficult for our intelligence team to carry out their mission," Maccon said. "We have sent out our scouts, but we have received little intelligence."
"Hmm …" Li Huailin nodded. "Then send as many people as possible. Intelligence is very important, and it is tiring to rely on the enemy's tactics alone."
"Yes, Marshal," Maccon said. "What's the mission for today?"
"Continue to attack the villages," Li Huailin said with a wave of his hand.
"Continue?" Maccon asked. "Start now? Marshal, we have basically attacked all the nearby villages. "
"Let's start now. If there are no more villages nearby, we'll go further. Anyway, we'll attack all the villages we can find." Li Huailin thought for a moment and added, "By the way, we have to be back before dark."
"Uh … Yes, Marshal." Maccon nodded, and then went out to assign tasks.
"I guess there is nothing to do today …" After assigning tasks, Li Huailin was about to lie down when he suddenly received a long-distance call.
He opened the interface and saw that it was Misty Rain. Li Huailin guessed that it was about the territory. He immediately picked up and asked, "What's up?"
"Uh … … So you're saying that your king's friend has come to our territory … …" Misty Rain said.
"Anthony?" Li Huailin scratched his head. Yesterday, he saw the announcement of war between the Nasser Empire and the Elven Kingdom. However, Li Huailin didn't think it was necessary. This originally had nothing to do with Anthony and the others, but now they were dragged into it. After thinking about it, Li Huailin felt that he should explain this matter to Anthony.
"Then, please wait for a while. I will come back now," Li Huailin said after thinking for a while.
"Aren't you leading the troops into battle now?" Misty Rain asked.
"I don't have anything to do right now. I'm still free. I'll go back to the city now. I'll rush back to the camp at night," Li Huailin said.
"Alright. You can come back first," Misty Rain thought for a while and said.
Now that Li Huailin's Return Scroll was bound to his territory, he appeared in Sovata City after using it. He quickly returned to the Duke's mansion. As expected, when Li Huailin walked to the door, he saw a group of Royal Guards standing guard at the entrance of the Duke's mansion.
"The Duke of Aquitaine?" Seeing Li Huailin walk through the door, the Royal Guards were extremely surprised. In the morning, when they arrived, they heard that the Duke of Aquitaine had led his troops into battle, and that he had been gone for a day. They were amazed by the speed of the Duke's troops, but when they turned around, they saw the Duke in front of their house. How could they not be surprised?
"Where's Anthony?" Li Huailin turned around and asked.
"Huh? Oh, oh, His Highness is inside. " When the Royal Guards heard Anthony's name, it took them a long time to realize that it was the King's name. How dare you call the King by his real name? As expected of the Duke of Aquitaine. "I'll go and inform the Duke immediately."
"No need, I'll go in and look for him myself," Li Huailin said, waving his hand.
He walked into his house with ease, then walked to the cabinet on the second floor. As soon as he went upstairs, he saw four Royal Guards at the entrance of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. It was obvious that Anthony was in the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
As expected, when Li Huailin walked to the entrance of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he saw Anthony and the temporary minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Norman. It was probably the first time Norman had heard His Royal Highness ask him something, and he was very nervous. Behind them stood Misty Rain, Oliveira, and his men, as well as Wilham and the others that Anthony had brought with him.
"Anthony," Li Huailin stood at the door and shouted, waving his hand.
"Huailin?" Anthony raised his head to look at the door, then looked at Li Huailin in surprise. However, he quickly recovered and walked over to Li Huailin, giving him a bear hug. "Why are you back? Didn't you say that you had led the troops to war? "
"Yeah, there's nothing much for the garrison there, so I came back." Li Huailin said with a smile. "Why are you here when I'm fighting with the elves? You don't have to declare war on the elves, do you?"
"Hey, hey, you're still talking. You've only been here for a few days. Why do I feel like you haven't stopped? On average, there's a big incident every day," Anthony said.
"What's wrong? Are the ministers bothering you?" Li Huailin asked.
"That … that's not it. I don't know why the ministers are speaking up for you. That's strange …" Anthony said. "Basically, all the ministers are asking me to reward you …"
"Eh? Really? " Li Huailin scratched his head. It was probably because he had triggered the favorability of some ministers. Indeed, there had been some names that he had never heard of recently that had inexplicably increased his favorability. Of course, there had been too many people who had a favorable impression of him recently, and Li Huailin couldn't estimate them all.
"I was really worried that something might happen to your territory. I didn't expect to hear this … Norman, right? I heard from him that the situation in your territory is pretty good. The people have accepted your 70% tax rate. I really don't know how you managed to do it," Anthony said.
"I'm too charismatic. I can't help it," Li Huailin said as he shook his head.
"Forget it. I didn't want to interfere in your matter. I came here today to ask you about the situation with the elves. Are you really going to fight or what? When I came here, I found out that you had led your troops out yesterday. Are you in such a hurry?" Anthony said.
"I'm really going to fight." Li Huailin said. "They are too arrogant. I can't bear to see someone even more arrogant than me near my house, so I have to fight."
"Just because of that?" Anthony asked.
"Of course, it's mainly because they took over my mine. How can I not fight back? Don't you think so?" Li Huailin spread out his hands.
"How do you need me to cooperate?" Anthony immediately asked. "Is the First Army going to send troops?"
"I really didn't count you in this time." Li Huailin said. "Actually, I think the Second Army is enough to wipe out the elves."
"You want to wipe out the elves?" Anthony asked in surprise.
"Oh, I'm just giving an extreme example. It's enough to wipe them out. Fighting them is still very simple." Li Huailin said. "On your side, the Demons are probably still breathing, so they aren't a threat. The main problem is with the Beastmen. Although the humans and the Beastmen aren't at war, the First Army can't be mobilized just in case. So this time, there's nothing for you to do."
"The Second Army doesn't have any advantage against the Silverwind Guards," Anthony said. Anthony said, "Huailin, you can't underestimate the Silverwind Guard. In terms of quality, any one of their members is better than the members of the Second Army. Only the soldiers of the First Army can be compared to them."
"Yes, Your Grace." Wilham stepped forward and said, "We have fought with the Silverwind Guards before. The quality of their troops is not to be underestimated." "That's true.
It's said that every soldier of the Silverwind Guards is proficient in archery. Their accuracy and range are much higher than human soldiers. " Li Huailin had heard about this from McCain. "However, the Silverwind Guards is a strange army. Isn't it funny that they don't have any cavalry?"
"Huailin, do you really have the confidence to defeat them?" Anthony asked again. "Where are the Second Army's troops now? I've already asked the First Army to get ready. Why don't we wait for both sides to converge before we attack? "
"It's better for the First Army to stay put." Li Huailin said, "Anthony, you just have to stabilize the First Army's troops. Otherwise, those guys are so smart. They might not act according to plan."
"Those guys?" Anthony asked curiously.
"Uh, in short, the First Army should stay put. Everyone should be on alert and wait for my battle report," Li Huailin said.
"I don't know why such a big matter seems so simple when you put it like that," Anthony said with a bitter smile.
"It's not a big matter to begin with." Li Huailin spread out his hands. "The empire doesn't even need to declare war. Of course, it's mainly because I'm not on good terms with you. I'll definitely inform you before the next battle."
"I hope it's as you said. That's it for now. Don't worry, the logistics of food and equipment will definitely keep up. The autumn harvest has just ended, and the empire's financial resources are still very sufficient. Based on the current scale, there won't be any supply problems until April next year," Anthony said.
"Huh? April next year? " Li Huailin glanced at the screen. It was only September now. What would happen in April next year? "I say, Anthony, how long do you think I'll have to fight?"
"This … at least half a year." Anthony thought for a moment and said. Half a year was considered very fast for a battle of hundreds of thousands between both sides.
"…" Li Huailin held his forehead. "Forget it. I'll think of a way to get food myself. My family has so much food that we can't even finish it. That's why we're fighting a war. There's no need to trouble you. Also, if it's a war, I'll think of a way to end it within a week."
"A week?" Anthony was stunned. "Are you sure you're fighting a war?"
"Yes." Li Huailin nodded.
