You know that you will cause trouble for others, so you want to stay away. What an annoying guy! Jayz thought to himself. He could not help but retort, "Whose order is it? I don't think it's His Majesty or the Fourth Princess who sent you. "
Tom suddenly said solemnly, "General Jess, you seem to be very dissatisfied with the dispatch of troops this time. You only know how to defend blindly, and you haven't had a decisive battle with the guards of the Great Wall. His Majesty doesn't want to see such a thing."
Jayz was even more annoyed when he saw Tom mention the king again. He said coldly, "Don't you know how powerful Hua Mulan is? The consequences of attacking recklessly will be unimaginable."
"But no matter how powerful she is, she is still a woman. How can you boost the morale of others and diminish your own? Our Scott Army is the most powerful in the world, and we have more soldiers than Faust … "
Listening to his nonsense that had no knowledge of the art of war, Jayce interrupted him impatiently and said, "When two armies fight, it's not like talking about war on paper. You won't win just by talking. The outcome of a war is not a comparison of numbers. This is the first lesson in the art of war. "
Tom's face turned green when he heard Jayz mocking him for not knowing the art of war. This hit him where it hurt. Because of his extraordinary skills and handsome appearance, he was chosen by the princess and had a meteoric rise. However, because he was born in a poor family, he had never received formal education in the art of war. Moreover, he didn't seem to have much talent in using troops.
If the person involved had a correct understanding of this, perhaps he would not be looked down upon by others. However, he just happened to like to express his views on the use of troops, causing the old generals in the court to look down on him. They thought that this man did not understand the art of war other than playing tricks. "I am here on His Majesty's order. His Majesty wants us to attack with all our might and try to defeat the Great Wall Army in one fell swoop …"
"It is not His Majesty's order. It is your own idea!"
"Why do you have such an idea? You don't have the self-awareness of an official!"
"As an old man who has served His Majesty for generations, I naturally know what is right and wrong. I am more confident than some people in the way of an official!"
"Who are you talking about?"
"Only a guilty person would …"
"You dare to disobey the king's order?!" Tom slammed the table and stood up. He realized that he had no chance of winning the argument with this old man, so he immediately changed the topic and brought the conversation back to the main topic.
"Oh, then tell me, how do we go all out and rush over like this?" Jesse didn't care at all and accurately hit the opponent's vital point.
"Of course not!" Tom thought to himself. "Here it comes! Fortunately, I was prepared when I came! "
Tom said seriously, "When I came here, Her Royal Highness told me …"
Jesse's heart trembled. That woman had the ability that no one dared to underestimate. He looked up at Tom and asked, "Her Royal Highness the 4th Princess sent you here to carry out her orders, right?"
Tom smiled and did not answer the question, giving Jess an unfathomable feeling.
Scott's tent was lit until late at night, and loud voices could be heard from time to time. The guards outside the tent knew that it was the special envoy from the military headquarters who was discussing military affairs with the commander-in-chief, but it was rare to see such a lively scene.
After half a day of arguing, Jess and Tom finally came to an agreement. Tom would lead 80,000 troops and launch a surprise attack on the defenders of the Great Wall, while Tom would lead the main force in front and attract the attention of the defenders of the Great Wall. Tom, who had gotten what he wanted, walked out of the tent triumphantly, leaving Jess behind and sighing. He hoped that he wouldn't have to suffer because of this guy tomorrow.
At this time, the two of them, who had their own plans, did not know that the direction of the next day was completely different from what they had imagined.
When he returned to his tent, Jess threw his helmet aside angrily. "This annoying guy!"
From the beginning, he had opposed the annexation of the Great Lake Region because it would break the balance of the region and cause the defenders of the Great Wall to be dissatisfied, leading to the outbreak of a war. At this time, the defenders of the Great Wall were full of famous generals, and their chances of winning were not high. However, the woman with great power was not satisfied with the current territory and was determined to take over the Great Lake Region. She did have some tricks up her sleeves and subdued the Duke of the Great Lake Region without using a single soldier. Unfortunately, the defenders of the Great Wall reacted quickly and used force to take over the region first, which led to the current situation.
To be honest, Jess did not want to be the commander-in-chief because he was against sending troops to the Great Lake Region. However, the Scott Army did not have a general who could fight against Hua Mulan. In order to prevent the Scott Army from suffering too many losses, he agreed. However, it seemed that he had made the wrong choice. The woman, who had an extreme desire for power, did not understand his painstaking efforts at all and sent such a man.
"Does she think that she has a good chance of winning? Even if she mobilized half of the country's elite troops, if she does not have a general who can fight against the enemy commander-in-chief, it will be difficult to win. " Jess knew that he was now old, and it was already very good that he could fight against his opponent like this. Ever since that woman gained power, she was obsessed with using power and did not pay attention to the development of generals. As a result, there were no young talents in the country who could truly hold their own.
At this moment, Jess suddenly felt a strong murderous aura in the tent. Instinctively, he immediately pulled out his treasured sword. However, before he could shout, three people in black suddenly appeared in the tent. Three black longswords exuded a sharp murderous aura and firmly shrouded him, making it difficult for him to breathe.
At this moment, the old general, who felt extreme danger, did not have the time to summon his men. He turned his body and the treasured sword in his hand danced around him, stacking it into a mountain of swords and blocking the three swords that were aimed at his vital points.
The assassins who were determined to behead the old man did not give Jess a chance to breathe. The same three swords that contained terrifying inner strength and sword qi pierced towards him from the front, back, and side like a poisonous snake. Although they had not reached him, the biting cold energy cut through the air around Jess, making the old man's whole body feel as if he had fallen into ice water.
Previously, in order to block the three swords, he had consumed most of his energy. After all, time was unforgiving. Jess could not gather his qi as quickly as before. Although he tried his best to resist the enemy's attack, the sword that came from the side still wedged into his sword net from a strange angle.
A strange cold current gushed in from the place where he was hit, making him unable to perform the next half of his move. The unfortunate old man could only watch as the two swords pierced his body from the front and back.
When the cold feeling enveloped Jess's body and mind, he vaguely heard a voice, "Alright, bring his head to see the Lionheart King!"
