"Anthony's sister? I think I've heard Anthony mention her before … "Upon hearing the soldier's reminder, Li Huailin recalled that Anthony had indeed mentioned that he had a sister. However, he had never met her before. Speaking of which, shouldn't her title be something like a Princess? Why was she called Princess Royal? And why did she have to come here at this time?
However, Li Huailin had something to discuss with Maccon and the others, so he had to make a trip there as well. Thus, under the protection of the soldiers, Li Huailin quickly returned to the command center.
As soon as he entered the command center, Li Huailin saw Maccon chatting with a woman who was sitting at the head of the table. Li Huailin glanced at the woman's name. Su Lan Murat should be the Princess Royal. However, it was a little different from what Li Huailin had imagined.
Originally, Li Huailin thought that the Murat family was a noble family, so the daughter of the family should be a gentle and elegant beauty. However, although Princess Su Lan was indeed beautiful, she didn't look gentle and elegant at all. Her dark red hair was tied behind her back, and although she was only wearing a long dress, she exuded a faint heroic aura. She looked more like a female general than a noblewoman. Not to mention, she had a longsword on her back. Wearing a dress and a sword was a little out of place.
"Marshal?" When Maccon saw Li Huailin return, he was stunned. He thought that Li Huailin had gone to a different dimension to recuperate, so he waited with the Princess Royal for a while. He didn't expect Li Huailin to return from the outside. What was going on?
"You're Duke Aquitan, Lord Bosom Ruolin. I'm the eldest princess of the Nasser Empire, Sulan Murat. I've come to visit you under my brother's orders," Sulan said as she stood up.
"Visit me?" Li Huailin was a little surprised. He suddenly remembered that he was sick, so he quickly covered his chest and said, "Oh, yes, yes, yes … My chest hurts."
"Are you alright, Marshal?" Maccon said hurriedly, "Why did you sneak out again? I'm here. Please don't worry."
"Oh, that's great. I'll leave this place to you. I'll go back and rest first." Li Huailin waved his hand and said.
"Wait, Your Grace." Sulan suddenly stopped Li Huailin and said, "Duke, I have a few questions to ask you."
"Oh?" Li Huailin turned around curiously. "What question does Princess Royal Highness want to ask?"
"Your Grace, you just lost a new match yesterday. Do you have any plans to fight back?" Su Lan asked.
"Oh?" Li Huailin narrowed his eyes. "Anthony asked you to ask?"
"It has nothing to do with Royal Brother," Su Lan said. "This is what I wanted to ask myself."
"Princess Royal Highness, this is a military secret. We can't tell you," Maccon said. Although the Princess Royal Highness was a member of the royal family, she did not have a military position, so she did not have any real power. Therefore, there was no need to tell her his battle plan. Maccon was also protecting the interests of the Second Army.
"I'm asking the Duke of Aquitan as a member of the empire. Now that the Second Army has lost a match, we really want to know if Your Grace can stop the attack of the Specters," Su Lan asked again with a strong attitude.
"A new battle plan …" Li Huailin thought for a while and said, "Hmm … No."
"No?" Su Lan said, a little surprised.
"Yes, it's not the right time yet. We need to wait," Li Huailin said.
"Wait? The empire can't wait," Su Lan said immediately. Su Lan immediately said, "After yesterday's defeat, the Undead obtained nearly ten thousand corpses of human warriors. If we give them time, these corpses will eventually turn into Undead Warriors, and the Undead's power will further expand. If we don't talk about this, how are we going to solve our food problem? I remember you promised my brother that you would finish the battle in a week. It's already the sixth day. There's only one day left. How are you going to finish the battle? "
"Ah, I give up." Li Huailin waved his hand and said, "Finishing the battle in a week is ridiculous. Forget it."
"You!" Su Lan seemed a little angry. Just as she was about to argue with Li Huailin, Maccon immediately came up and said, "Princess Royal, General, please calm down. But General, I also want to know why we don't attack now. We still have the advantage in numbers, and we can still win if we attack them head-on. Right now, the corpses of our soldiers should be stored in the Specter's camp. If we attack the camp and burn them all before they turn them into Specter Warriors, we will still have a huge advantage."
"Sigh, I know, but look, I'm injured now. You can't ask me to fight with an injury, right?" Li Huailin said, spreading his hands.
"This …" Maccon was also a little troubled.
"Hmph, cowardly man …" Su Lan suddenly snorted and said in a low voice.
"Huh?" Li Huailin turned his head.
"Am I wrong? Such a small injury is enough to drag down the entire army, and even the entire empire. When my father fought for the empire, he was seriously injured and almost died, but he still went into battle with an injury. In your current situation, it's only a small injury at most, and you want the entire army to rest?" Su Lan said, "When I heard my brother mention you, I thought you were a very great general. Now, it seems that my brother was wrong about you."
"Hehe … You're quite interesting." Li Huailin said with a smile, "Although it's good to provoke the General, as a General, I have to be responsible for the entire army. If I don't have a chance of winning, I won't let my soldiers risk their lives outside."
"Not confident of winning?" Su Lan said strangely, "Now, anyone would think that we humans have the advantage. Although it's a simple battle that can be won by sending a General, why not?"
"Oh? I like what you just said. " Li Huailin suddenly had an idea, and a brilliant idea came to him. "Princess Royal Highness said that any General can win. Which General is she referring to? Princess Royal Highness, do you want to try it yourself? "
"Hmph, if I can be a General, I won't be any worse than you," Su Lan said immediately.
"Good, very good. That's what I wanted to hear." Li Huailin said, "How about this, from now on, you're the Chief of Staff of the Second Army. While I'm training the soldiers, the entire Second Army will listen to your command. What do you think?"
"What? Marshal, you're … "Maccon was shocked." That won't do, Marshal. What kind of position is Chief of Staff? There's no such position in the empire. "
"Are you telling the truth?" Princess Royal Highness Su Lan said in surprise. She had admired her father since she was a child, and she used to dream of becoming a General of the empire. Unfortunately, when she grew up, she realized that it was too difficult for a woman to become a General. After Anthony became the emperor, she could only become a member of the royal family, and she had no chance of becoming a General. She never thought that she would be able to become a General here. If she could make a name for herself, she might be able to convince her brother to continue being a General. After all, she was more powerful than a Duke. If she could defeat an army that even his brother couldn't handle, it would be very convincing.
"Of course it's true." Li Huailin spread his hands and said, "I never joke."
"Marshal, this really won't do," Maccon said immediately.
"Why? I'm injured now, and I'm about to die. You can't let me go to the battlefield like this. Also, look at this Princess Royal Highness. She doesn't look very confident, and she's a member of the royal family. I don't think it's a problem. "Li Huailin said.
"Yeah, Marquis Maccon, I don't think it's a problem either," Su Lan chimed in.
"Sigh … this, Marshal …" Maccon was having a headache. This was completely against the rules, but Li Huailin had done too many things against the rules. Maccon was almost used to it, and he didn't know how to refute it.
"Alright, that's it. Our new chief of staff, you can give the order now," Li Huailin said.
"Alright, everyone, get ready to attack the undead's main camp. Our goal is to defeat the undead's main force and retrieve the corpses of our soldiers," Su Lan said to Maccon, who had also gotten into the zone.
"This …" Maccon hesitated. He didn't know what to do. Should he listen to her or not?
"Now, her order is my order. Listen to her." Li Huailin said. "Ah, my heart is killing me. I'm going back to rest. Do as you see fit."
After saying that, Li Huailin walked directly into the room inside.
"Marshal, Marshal …" Maccon wanted to stop Li Huailin, but Su Lan stopped him.
"Marquis Maccon, you heard your marshal's order. I didn't force him to do this. As a deputy marshal, you have to follow orders," Su Lan said.
"Yes, Princess Royal …" Maccon had no choice but to nod.
"Don't call me Princess Royal. Call me … what was it again? Chief of Staff, right?" Su Lan said.
"Yes, Chief of Staff." Maccon sighed and said, "Chief of Staff, I'll call the generals over and tell them about the current situation and the new battle plan. Is that okay?"
"Yes, that's it." Su Lan nodded and said, "Also, bring me my armor."
