Chapter 378: Encounter of Two Heroes (6)
“I understand your need for a moment of sympathy. Therefore, I will take the role of the bad guy.”
Elizabeth broke the silence.
“The Marquis is already dead. We must deal with the enemy that is still alive in that dead individual’s stead. Be it Genova or La Spezia, we must know precisely where the imperial army is headed.”
“Hmm.”
Sympathy was sympathy, but this was the time for a meeting. They couldn’t let themselves be taken by grief. Furthermore, by referring to the man by his position of ‘Marquis’ before his death, Elizabeth had expressed her sympathy indirectly…….
“The Consul is right. However, I am of a different opinion. The Empire can choose to go to Genova or La Spezia whenever they desire. Therefore, it would be pointless to establish a plan according to the imperial army’s route.”
“…….”
“First and foremost, we should establish a strategy around the point we have to protect the most.”
It was an extremely logical and correct statement. The Duke of Milano also nodded in agreement.
