"Your Highness, how did you get here?" Soudeis was a little surprised to see Li Huailin at the entrance of the Cattleven City's teleportation portal. To be honest, he had been wanting to ask Li Huailin how to get here, but now that he had suddenly appeared in front of him, Soudeis still couldn't figure out what was going on.
Li Huailin didn't have the time to explain to him. He looked around and asked, "Is this the front line?"
"Yes, Your Highness. This way please," Andalda immediately came over and said.
Naturally, Soudeis didn't pursue the matter. The two followed Andalda and quickly arrived at the front line of the Undead army. Soon, they saw the two Undead Lords leading the army, Fiona and Dennis.
"Greetings, Your Highness." When the two saw Li Huailin appear in person, they hurried over to greet him.
"Is there any new development?" Li Huailin came over and asked briefly.
To be honest, the two of them were a little nervous. Li Huailin had ordered them to listen to Matthew's arrangement. And when Matthew saw the Demon army suddenly retreating, he naturally let the two of them chase after them. However, after a little discussion, the two of them didn't listen to Matthew's order and chose to stay in place.
They had their own considerations, such as the lack of troops, the unclear purpose of the Demons, and so on. In fact, they had violated Li Huailin's orders to a certain extent, so when they saw Li Huailin, they thought that Li Huailin was here to denounce them. But now, it seemed like Li Huailin had no intention of mentioning this matter at all. Although it was a little strange, the two weren't stupid enough to take the initiative to mention it.
"Your Highness, there's no new development." Fiona took the initiative to step forward and said, "Now the demon army has surrounded Berokli City. The demon commander, Gordon, has clearly refused to enter the city for negotiation and asked Mattheon to leave the city. Of course, Mattheon has also flatly refused. However, it's a bit strange that the demon army still hasn't launched an attack. It's a bit strange that they only besieged the city without attacking..."
"You can't understand it, right?" Li Huailin said as he sat on the chair.
"Yeah." Both Fiona and Dennis nodded.
"That's right. I've fought a few battles with the Demons, and I can't understand their tactics at all. I don't know what's going on. If it weren't for the current situation, I would have thought that they were being commanded blindly by people who don't know how to fight," Li Huailin said.
"This …" Dennis thought for a moment, then asked Fiona in a low voice, "When did His Highness fight the Demons?"
Indeed, Li Huailin had forgotten that the two didn't know his identity. When he was Emperor Wocha, Li Huailin had never fought with the Demons. This was his first time coming to the front line, so the two didn't really understand. Of course, even though they didn't understand, they didn't ask much.
"But I like the Demons' courage and persistence in sending their troops. Since I'm here this time, let's solve the problem of the Demons here, so I don't have to pay attention to this side," Li Huailin said.
"Is His Highness going to send troops?" Fiona and Dennis asked together.
"Of course. Isn't it clear enough?" Li Huailin asked.
"When will His Highness send troops?" Fiona asked after some thought.
"Now," Li Huailin said casually.
"Right now?" Both of them were stunned. Even Su Daisi was stunned. Wasn't this a little too casual?
"His Highness, although we claim to have 30,000 troops, we only have about 23000 who can fight. It will take Fiona's troops another four to five days to come back, and the Demons have more than 70,000 troops. Should we … send troops now?" Dennis thought it was better to be frank. "I think it's better to wait for our troops to come back, and then settle the score with the Demons. This way, it'll be safer, and it won't take much time."
"Four to five days won't take up much time," Li Huailin said. Li Huailin said, "I really don't know where you learned the bad habit of procrastinating. Every battle is calculated in months. You see, the Demons are surrounding the main city of Mattheshuon, but they aren't fighting. They must think that they are not in a hurry, so they can take their time. It's just a little time difference, but the difference between victory and defeat is like heaven and earth. Do you understand?"
"Uh …" The two were speechless. His words seemed to make a lot of sense, and they couldn't refute it.
"If we wait for our reinforcements to come back, what's the difference between us and the idiotic Demons here? So, we have to attack now," Li Huailin said, waving his hand.
"But Your Highness," Fiona suddenly said. "What if the Demons are surrounding Mattheshuon's main city not because they are hesitating, but because they want to lure the snake out of its hole? They know that we are going to save Mattheshuon, so they are just pretending. What should we do then? Aren't we being set up? "
"Oh?" Li Huailin looked at Fiona, slightly surprised. The fact that she could think up to this point showed that her brain was pretty good, so he explained, "That's a good question. Is it possible? Yes, but is it possible? Very low. "
Li Huailin took a deep breath and continued, "First of all, our troops are at a disadvantage. Both sides know this. The possibility of us taking the initiative to attack … is not high. Then, there is the target that we need to rescue. Mattheshuon is a man who betrayed us, the Undead. The possibility of you rescuing him … is also not high. Third, our reinforcements are about to return. The possibility of us taking the initiative to attack before they arrive … is still not high. So, the enemy's general judged that the possibility of us taking the initiative to attack is very small. Therefore, the possibility of them setting up an ambush for us is very small. If we really meet them, then we can only blame it on our bad luck. "
Of course, there was one more thing that Li Huailin did not mention. It was because of him. In fact, the enemy's commander, Gordon, had already fought with him several times. If he knew that he was the commander on this side, he would probably seriously consider all aspects, especially the possibility of a sneak attack. But did the other side know? Obviously not. So, Li Huailin judged that the other side would not set up an ambush for them.
"So that's how it is." After listening to Li Huailin's explanation, the three lords on this side all nodded. They also felt that what Li Huailin said was quite reasonable.
"Do you still have any questions? If not, let's send out our troops now. It's night time now. How long will it take for us to reach Mattheshuon's side? "Li Huailin asked.
"If we set out from here, we will arrive at about … tomorrow noon." Fiona said after a little calculation. Because of the natural advantage of the Undead, they would not feel tired at night. Therefore, it was very convenient to march at night, and their speed was also very fast.
"Noon again?" Li Huailin was a little surprised. The church said that it would be noon, and the troops here would also arrive at noon. Wouldn't that be a direct conflict?
"Your Highness, what's wrong?" Soudeis seemed to see that Li Huailin was having a headache, so he asked.
"I have something to do at noon tomorrow," Li Huailin said.
"Your Highness, in that case, please leave it to me," Dennis said. "Since the other side can't find us, I'm confident that we can defeat them if we directly attack them from behind."
"I didn't say that they won't find us. What if they find you?" Li Huailin said, "No, after thinking about it, I must be there tomorrow. Otherwise, there might be an accident."
"But Your Highness, even if we set out now, we can't reach there until tomorrow noon at the earliest," Fiona said.
"Don't we have cavalry here?" Li Huailin asked.
"Uh … yes," Dennis said. "I have … 600 Undead Knights here."
"I have … 550 on my side." Fiona raised her hand and said. The troops on both sides were counted separately, and they didn't merge together before.
"Damn, how many Undead Knights are there?" Li Huailin asked.
"Uh … I have 350 on my side. Sulfur has the most with 800, and Maxim seems to have 500," Soudeis answered after thinking for a while.
"The entire Undead Knights add up to a little more than 2,000?" Li Huailin was stunned. This number was even less than the cavalry of his private army. It should be known that the three legions of the Human Race had a total of almost 20000 cavalry, which was ten times more than the Human Race's. The difference was too big.
"Well, Undead Knights are more difficult to train." Soudeis explained. He knew that Li Huailin had been with the human race for a long time, so he had a habitual way of thinking. In fact, it was more troublesome to train a Undead Knight than a human. It was more troublesome to find high-quality corpses, not to mention that they had been fighting a civil war in recent years, so they had no time to develop.
"Anyway, we can only gather 1,150 cavalry troops now?" Li Huailin asked.
"Actually, not yet. Some of the cavalrymen were injured in the previous battle and haven't fully recovered. Now we can use about … less than 1,000 cavalrymen," Fiona said.
"…" Li Huailin facepalmed, but after thinking for a while, he said, "Well, let's use these cavalrymen."
"Huh?" The three were stunned.
"If we send more than 20,000 troops together, the probability of being discovered is still very high. But if there are only 1,000 cavalrymen, the probability is very small." Li Huailin said, "So, we will only send 1,000 cavalrymen to attack. The other troops will make some noise in the city, so that the enemy's spies will know that our army is in the city."
"1,000 cavalrymen against 70,000 Demons?" The three were stunned. "Your Highness, this … this is not a joke, right?"
