The Breakthrough Point?

Victor did not interpret Alex's meaning in the same way; he raised an objection.

"However, the advantage on the main battlefield is not significant, especially since the Duchy's strongest Imperial Guard Legion and First Legion are there, making it difficult to break through."

"That's right, Victor. You're right. We never expected to make a quick breakthrough on the main battlefield. Our real breakthrough point is not here."

Alex's answer puzzled Victor. Were there other spots?

"In the Eastern Theater, the Third Legion will sail down the river from Blackwater City. Together with the original loyal nobles, their strength should not be underestimated. They will consist of at least two and a half legions, making them comparable to us in strength."

Even if I win at the beginning, it will be difficult to quickly support the main battlefield.

And most importantly, with the Northlands's existing shipping capacity, they can only deliver my legion to Suffolk County at most. The extra Allied Army legion simply can't arrive together!

"You're right. This Allied Army is mainly composed of minor nobles and was only recently formed. It's not very strong."

They will arrive after you defeat the enemy in the Eastern Theater Command; they can help you stabilize the Eastern Region.

You can then leave and go south with Count Black to support Count Lloyd.

Victor was speechless. Wasn't this just treating him like a laborer?

"You're making me tackle the tough challenges first, so others can reap the rewards."

"No, you will have absolute command of this legion. If there are any problems, you can deal with them directly, and if necessary, you can even kill nobles!"

"Okay, but I still don't understand where the breakthrough point is. According to the division of tasks, once I go south, I won't be able to support the front line."

"Of course, so the East is not the key to breaking the deadlock!"

Alex clapped the map in his hand and said to Victor in a boastful tone, "Looks like you couldn't have guessed it either!"

"Don't speak, let me think about it some more!"

Victor looked at the map, narrowed his eyes, thought for five minutes, and slowly said, "The Raine Kingdom Navy?"

Alex patted Victor on the shoulder. "Looks like you finally figured it out. How about that? Surprised?"

Victor stared intently at the map showing the locations of the Western Three Counties. "Have they agreed to intervene in the battle?"

Alex nodded. "Of course. Our previous actions led us to find out about Duke Weeks in the western Wos Province the Raine Kingdom. We delivered crucial evidence to the Kingdom Navy."

Thanks to these factors, the court intrigues in the Raine Kingdom underwent a new transformation, with the king overruling objections and strongly supporting the navy.

The Kingdom Navy naturally reciprocated, assuring us that they would send a fleet to attack the coast of the Western Three Counties, forcing the Sixth Legion of Carn City and the Western nobles Legion to return to their defenses.

"We'll naturally find a way to break through the formidable defenses of Carn City then."

Victor carefully examined the Carn City on the map. "So this is the real breakthrough point?"

This is top secret, right? Is it okay to tell me?

My father entrusted this matter to me, saying that as the supreme commander of the Eastern Theater Command, these things should not be kept from me.

Of course, all you need to do is make a plan; the Western Three Counties will have people who can handle it.

"Then I have no questions. Please rest assured, Count Colt, the Eastern Theater Command will defeat the enemy as soon as possible and send reinforcements south to hold the key position in the Southern Four Counties."

The two finally finished saying what they needed to say, and Alex walked back to his mount and mounted it with a flourish.

"Victor, I have to go now. See you in Silver Maple City."

Are you so sure we can win?

"Anyway, if we win, we can meet up in Silver Maple City; if we lose, we'll both be beheaded in Silver Maple City!"

Victor was also taken aback by Alex's words.

After a few seconds of silence, Alex patted the horse's mane. "I have to go. Take care, Victor!"

After saying this, Alex whipped the horse's rump with his whip and then headed south with his guards.

"Take care, Alex, and be careful too."

Victor stood there, watching Alex and his guards grow into tiny black dots and disappear completely from sight.

The carriage of Viscount Benjamin and his wife had long since left. Suddenly, a gust of cold wind blew by, and Victor shivered. It was a bit cold. He should go home soon.

A day later, Victor arrived at the military camp early in the morning, as he needed to confirm the situation of the newly formed troops.

He hadn't wanted to come so early, but Veronica persuaded him that this was a big deal and shouldn't be taken lightly.

James, Santos, Marvin, and several other high-ranking officers from the territory have already arrived.

"Everyone, you've worked hard these past few days. Please show me around and introduce things as we go!"

Everyone agreed, and they took Victor into the military camp.

Although there was a heavy snowfall a few days ago, it did not affect the soldiers' training in the camp.

Looking at the group of soldiers who were sweating profusely from training early in the morning, Victor asked them, "When training in winter, be sure to keep warm and eat high-calorie foods. If possible, let everyone take a hot shower."

Santos immediately replied, "Don't worry, Viscount."

There was an ample supply of warm clothing and food, and both Supervisor Powell and Supervisor Weber were not on duty, ensuring that the monthly supplies arrived promptly.

James added, "Victor, hot showers are no problem either. You designed all the barracks, and they all have heated brick beds and chimneys. Every day when the heating is turned on, we'll boil a pot of hot water for the soldiers in the camp to take a bath."

Although a bath isn't possible, a quick rinse will suffice.

After listening, Victor nodded in satisfaction.

Victor went to the armory again, and Marvin introduced him, "The weapons and armor have all arrived, but we are still missing some armored uniforms for the Armored Infantry and Cavalry."

The territory doesn't have enough silk, but Supervisor Russell has already contacted the Northern Chamber of Commerce, and it should be delivered soon.

Victor ordered his men to bring out several suits of armor from the storeroom. After a careful inspection, they were indeed newly made and of very high quality.

Next, Victor randomly selected a few detachments for a spot check. The soldiers were all in good condition, and the officers were all quite familiar with their units.

Victor has confirmed that all three regiments are now at full strength, and all officers of the rank of Company Commander Detachment Commander above are in place.

Only some Squad Leader haven't arrived yet. This is because a group of Squad Leader are undergoing intensive training at the General Staff and will be in place once the training is completed.

So Victor didn't spend much time in the military camp. At noon, he ate a communal meal with the soldiers as usual and then left.

In the afternoon, Victor went to the General Staff and the Logistics Department, even though it was already winter, because of the major battle that would begin next spring.

The General Staff is still very busy, not only preparing plans but also training officers at all levels in the military.

The Logistics Department is in a much better position. The supplies haven't been handed over yet, and all that's needed now is to maintain the transport vehicles.

At the end of the day, Victor was quite satisfied with the preparations for the territory; the war machine he had built was running at high speed.

We're sure to shine in the big battle next spring.
