Chapter 156: Conquest Plans
The moment King Theron vanished from the Elven outpost, he wasted no time.
Upon his return to the palace, he immediately set his formidable will into motion. The Dukes were swiftly reassembled, and alongside his most trusted generals, Theron meticulously began to ascertain the full extent of Zarion’s military might.
"I will lead the main strike force myself," Theron declared. "We will deliver a swift, decisive blow that will leave them no option but surrender. There will be no prolonged conflict; it will be a conquest."
He was supremely confident that this would be a quick capture. They also came to a conclusion that all the Dukes, save for one, will mobilize with him, contributing their forces to this grand endeavor.
"Borin, that duty falls to you."
"Yes, my King."
For the next several days, the palace hall became a hive of activity. They poured over countless data from the Adventurers’ Association, along with some census data and compiled an exhaustive, albeit estimated, list of their available forces:
4,500+ 1-Star Mages, 81 1-Star Knights.
650+ 2-Star Mages, 38x 2-Star Knights.
200+ 3-Star Mages, 11x 3-Star Knights.
108x 4-Star Mages, 4x 4-Star Knights
56x 5-Star Mages, 1x 5-Star Knight
