Chapter 237 - 154 Quintus’s Ingenious Plan
Maximus glanced at him: "Torrelugo, what are you talking about?"
"Ah... I... I didn’t say anything." Torrelugo feigned confusion and shook his head.
Maximus was just trying to scare him and then turned to ask: "It seems this time the Segestica people have learned their lesson. It’s probably impossible for us to set an ambush again. Quintus, what are your thoughts?"
"Leader, I think... we can engage the Segestica people in a decisive battle here," Quintus pondered aloud.
This statement caused a stir in the military tent.
Quintus continued to explain: "Segestica has fifteen or sixteen thousand men, and we have thirteen thousand. The difference in numbers is not significant. In terms of combat strength, we are more organized, more disciplined, and more experienced than they are, and our tactics are also superior. We can definitely defeat them!"
"Quintus, where do we even have thirteen thousand soldiers? You aren’t counting those newly joined Skodisqi people, are you?" Flanitnus questioned.
"That’s right," Quintus nodded.
"Are you crazy?!" Flanitnus loudly questioned: "They have only just picked up their weapons a few days ago, they can’t even form ranks properly, let alone master legion tactics! Sending them into such a crucial battle that determines our life and death, they will certainly cry out for their mothers under the enemy’s fierce attack!"
"At that moment, the lives of all of us would be in your hands!" Flanitnus shouted angrily.
"No, you don’t understand the Skodisqi people. I devised a training plan for them, and I’ve witnessed their training firsthand. They are extremely diligent, and you can feel the fire in their hearts, it’s a hatred towards the Segestica people. Once it erupts in battle, it will be terrifying!"
Quintus said seriously, "Moreover, I have them as a reserve force. It’s our First, Second, and Third Legions that will truly face the enemy in a head-to-head formation. While they are fewer in number than the enemy, their combat skills, organization, and discipline can certainly withstand the enemy’s assault!"
