Book 10: Chapter 31
“You are back, Your Majesty. This is the conclusion of our strategy meeting…”
I placed their document aside then looked to them, “Stick to the original plan and advance. Advance toward the valley. We’ve wasted a day already, so we’re not going to waste any more time.”
“But…”
“Didn’t I already tell you? That group of panthers aren’t our main threat. They number far too little. Their only option is guerrilla warfare. In fact, they don’t even qualify as a guerrilla warfare platoon. There are no residents here, either; consequently, they can’t stay here for too long. They have no choice but to head toward the valley’s defence; however, that would turn them into a sure catch. There’s no fortress that our cannons can’t take down.”
Actually, I thought that’d be hard, too. In order for us to cross the bridges conveniently, we utilised the smallest calibre infantry and cavalry for the cannons. Honestly, I wasn’t certain if we could blow apart the defences in the valley, but that was exactly why we needed to enter the valley as soon as possible.
As soon as we were engaged in close quarters, our chances of winning would become slimmer and slimmer. The anthropoids were yet to unite internally. Perhaps they hesitated, because we showed our overwhelming might in the South, causing them to hesitate in this war. However, that meant nobody came to negotiate with me.
‘Do they want to fight or flee?’
I really didn’t know the answer to that.
I couldn’t comprehend the anthropoids. If I was in their shoes, I would gamble with my life at this point.
