"Hi?" Almost at the same time, Li Huailin also received a battle report from the frontlines. Similar to what Ao Li knew, the Demon Race soldiers had invaded the territory of the Undead Race, and something had happened on the Human Race's side. It was unknown where the rebel army gathered 40,000 troops and directly rushed towards the Human Race's main city. Looking at their momentum, it seemed like they were ready to attack the main city.
"Marshal, what should we do?" Maccon asked. The alliance army was in trouble, and there was only one day left before the army arrived at the Dwarves' main city. It was a little awkward.
"Heh heh … this demon army is really interesting." Li Huailin was a little surprised when he read the battle report. Li Huailin had already predicted that the Demons would attack the rebels. After all, he had lured them out from the very beginning. However, Li Huailin didn't expect the Demons to suddenly change their target. This change really gave Li Huailin a headache. The Undead were really weak now. The three Lords had already gone to war, and there were only two Lords left. The Demons only had about 25,000 troops (less than what the outside world knew), while the Demons had 70,000 troops. This meant that the Undead could only defend themselves, and they might not even be able to defend themselves.
No matter what, the Undead were his people, and the Undead's money was also Li Huailin's money. Therefore, he was definitely not happy that his money was robbed for no reason. If they were to fight a defensive battle, they might be able to defend the main city, but the smaller cities around them would be robbed. It seemed like it was time to teach the Demons a lesson.
"Marshal?" Maccon suddenly felt a chill in his heart when he saw Li Huailin's sneer. He didn't know what Li Huailin was planning.
"I'm going to have a chat with the Undead Lord over there," Li Huailin said.
"Should we let the Undead return to defend first?" Maccon asked.
"How can we make it in time to defend now?" Li Huailin said with a smile, "We've already reached the depths of the Dwarven Kingdom. It will take the Undead army at least a week to retreat. By the time they return to their kingdom, I don't know what the situation will be like."
"But the Undead are probably very worried about the situation in their own country. Will the Marshal allow them to stay here?" McCain asked. He didn't know the relationship between Li Huailin and the undead. After all, the two sides had not signed a treaty yet. He didn't know if Li Huailin could stop them.
"I don't know about that. I'll ask them first. If they really want to leave, we can't stop them, right? By the way, McCann, help me deliver a letter, "Li Huailin said.
"Please go ahead, General," Macken said.
"I hope Anthony orders Marshal Colin of the Fourth Legion to take the initiative and attack the Demons' camp …" Li Huailin said.
"Huh?" McCann was stunned. "General, I'm afraid that won't work. The rebels are now advancing toward the main city. If everything goes according to plan, the Fourth Legion should be preparing to defend the main city now. After all, the Demons are no longer under pressure."
"That's why I said that the rebels only have 40,000 soldiers. How can they take down the main city? It's useless for the Fourth Legion to go back. It's better to attack the Demons' territory directly," Li Huailin said.
"But … but General, it's too dangerous," Macken said. "That's the main city. It's better to be safe than sorry. What if something happens …"
"Don't worry," Li Huailin said. "Just report it to Anthony like this."
"This … Yes, General." Macken didn't quite agree, but he still nodded. After all, it was the General's order.
"I'll go to the Undead's camp first," Li Huailin said.
"Yes, General." Macken nodded. Then, he went to write the letter on behalf of Li Huailin.
After going out, Li Huailin changed his clothes and went to the Undead's camp. Now, there was a commander in the Undead's camp. It was Lord Maxim and his 10,000 soldiers who had just arrived yesterday. When Li Huailin arrived at the Undead's camp, a few lords were discussing this matter. The three of them were having a heated discussion.
"Your Highness, it's great that you're here." Soudeis was also having a headache. Maxim and Sulfur had some conflicts. Although they were both working under Li Huailin, they were still in a state of confrontation. Maxim and Sulfur immediately went against each other. Soudeis could only mediate between them, which made him very tired.
"Greetings, Your Highness!" Maxim immediately saluted. This was his first time meeting Li Huailin. Although he had already seen Li Huailin yesterday, Li Huailin was still the Duke of Aquitan at that time. Maxim didn't know that they were actually the same person.
Li Huailin didn't have a deep impression of Maxim. He had seen him once when he was leading the Undead, but he didn't pay much attention to him. He didn't know what kind of person he was. However, because of Sulfur, Li Huailin knew that any kind of joker could become a Lord …
"Everyone knows about the Demons' attack?" Li Huailin asked.
"Yes, Your Highness. We are discussing this matter now," Soudeis replied.
"Oh? That's great. What do you think? "Li Huailin asked as he walked to the main seat and sat down.
"Of course we should kill these Demons," Sulfur said immediately. On the other side, Sulphur immediately said, "Motherf * cker, the Demons are simply ingrates. Our troops have already left and they are already attacking us. We were blind to believe that they were allies. Immediately lead the army to kill them. I'll be the vanguard!"
"Hehe … you …" Li Huailin wanted to say something, but Maxim interrupted.
"Your Highness, I have a different opinion," Maxim said.
"Oh? Let's hear it, "Li Huailin said.
"Your Highness, our main force has penetrated deep into the Dwarves' territory. Moreover, they are about to be wiped out. If we retreat now, it will be a waste of all our previous efforts. I don't think we should retreat now. No matter what, we have to wipe out the Dwarves first before we retreat," Maxim said from the other side.
"But we can't ignore our rear either. The remaining two overlords only have 25,000 soldiers in total. What should we do?" Li Huailin asked. He already had an idea. He just wanted to see how good this Maxim was.
"Your Highness, we are already in an alliance with the Humans. Since the Demons are attacking us, we should seek help from our allies," Maxim said confidently. It seemed that Maxim had long thought about it as he said confidently, "Humans have stationed the 4th corps on the border of demons, which contains about 70,000-80,000 soldiers. It's enough to resist demons. As long as human troops could take the initiative to approach demons' troops, our rear would be safe for sure."
"Oh? That's a good idea. " Li Huailin was surprised. This guy is not bad. It's almost the same as what I thought. "But Maxim, the Humans are also in trouble. The 40,000 rebels are approaching the main city of the Humans. The 4th Corps might need to retreat now. Normally, they won't take the initiative to attack."
"That will depend on the judgment of the Humans' King," Maxim said. Maxim said, "Although the rebel army is close to the main city, it's actually impossible for them to take it down. There's no need for the 4th corps to retreat. If we attack the demons, I believe we'll get the most benefits. On the contrary, if the Humans don't take the initiative to attack and choose to retreat, we, the Undead, will be attacked by 70,000 Demons. After all, there will be casualties, and this may become a breakthrough point in the war … Although this is the analysis, this is the main city of the Humans. If something happens, it will be a devastating blow. I don't know if the Humans' King has the courage to do this … I hope Your Highness can personally explain to the Humans. "
"Hmm …" Li Huailin nodded, which was rare for him. "Good analysis, Maxim."
"Thank you for your praise, Your Highness," Maxim immediately said.
"Just like Maxim said, if we don't choose to retreat this time, the Humans will take the initiative to attack and help us force the Demons back," Li Huailin said.
"Really, Your Highness?" Soudeis asked. Although he knew that Li Huailin was the Duke of Aquitaine, the Duke of Aquitaine couldn't make the decision. The 4th Corps wasn't under his control. This was the decision of the Humans' King.
"It should be fine," Soudeis said. "Of course, I'm not only going to talk about the retreat today. In fact … I'm going to announce to the public that I'm going to retreat."
"Announce to the public?" The three of them were stunned. Maxim suddenly thought of something. "Your Highness, you mean … we're going to pretend to retreat? But our goal is … "
"Aren't there 70,000 Dwarves behind us? It's such an eyesore, "Li Huailin said." Don't you think so? "
"Your Highness is going to …" Maxim was shocked. He instantly understood what Li Huailin meant. "This will work. This is a great plan."
"Huh? What plan? " Soudeis also understood a little. Only Sulfur looked like he didn't know what they were talking about.
"It looks like we're in danger, but it's actually giving us an opportunity." Li Huailin saw that Maxim seemed to have a bright future, so he said, "No matter what war we're fighting, we're always afraid that the enemy won't move. As long as they move, it's giving us an opportunity."
"Your Highness is indeed proficient in military strategy. You're just like the famous Dukes of the Humans. I'm impressed," Maxim said.
"Cough cough cough …" Soudeis couldn't help but cough.
