Ironvine Territory (7)

Everyone was shocked by Victor's idea. In their minds, the most important person in the Ironvine Territory was Count Lloyd. Count Lloyd and his troops were besieged in Ironwire City, so they should definitely go to rescue him first, not the Southern Front Forces.

But Viscount Victor's method was indeed very good. The war on the southern front was fought with a defensive strategy, allowing the Southern Marching Legion to fight more calmly and likely suffer fewer losses.

Marvin and his supporters were reluctant to rush to Ironwire City because they had just fought an exceptionally fierce positional battle in the Eastern Region, and the various forces of the Two Rivers Territory had suffered heavy losses.

They would naturally be very reluctant to fight another fierce positional battle like the one at Ironwire City, especially since they were not prepared for it.

Knight Jack also placed greater importance on Count Lloyd, as this Count represented the legal authority of the Iron Vine Family. In the future, when fighting against the East Sea Alliance Army that might move north, Count Lloyd's support would be crucial.

However, Victor's method was indeed more acceptable to everyone, avoiding fierce positional warfare and prioritizing the attack on the slightly weaker Coalition of Nobles, which was also a good thing for the Southern Marching Legion that was exhausted from the forced march.

Although it is said that the private armies of the border nobles in the Southern Region are also very strong, everyone believes that they are definitely easier to deal with than the Duchy Fourth Legion.

Thus, everyone agreed with Victor's opinion, and even the silent Knight Yellen was shocked by the unusual atmosphere within the Two Rivers Territory.

After all, in the military systems of other territories, there are rarely such discussions about combat. In the Two Rivers Territory, every senior officer can express his opinion, and everyone's opinion has its reasons. Even if there are disputes, they are all under the control of Lord Victor.

Knight Yellen found it unusual; such officer meetings were rare within Great Oak Territory. Most officers followed the direct commands and instructions of the Old Count, and few had the ability to think independently in combat.

He used to think that fighting was simply a matter of charging forward under the leadership of Count Black. It was only after Count Black's conscious instruction that he understood what warfare was really like, but even then, it was limited to how to deploy troops.

However, every officer in the Two Rivers Territory was superior to him, not only in troop deployment but also in considering issues from multiple perspectives, including army logistics, the political significance of the operation, and the personality of the enemy generals—something he could not do.

Knight Yellen felt fortunate to be able to participate in this southward campaign, and vaguely sensed that he could learn more here and help Great Oak Territory.

After assigning the specific combat tasks, Victor adjourned the meeting. Little did he know that Knight Yellen had so many thoughts running through his mind; all he wanted to do now was get some rest.

Too many things have changed during this period. I thought it would be a simple operation, but in reality, too many unexpected things have happened. Even I, who just completed the Transcendent transformation and has abundant energy, am a little tired.

The next morning, Victor came out of his room. He had gone to bed early the night before, since the tasks for each unit had been assigned, and he could finally get a good night's sleep.

Just as Victor was doing his morning exercises on the deck, the cry of an eagle caught his attention. He felt the sound was very familiar, and as he was thinking about it, a shadow suddenly loomed over his head.

Victor quickly dodged, and a dark figure suddenly crashed into the spot where he had just been standing. The guards around him rushed over when they saw that their lord had been injured. When they saw the true face of the dark figure, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

Victor looked at the dark figure and laughed happily, "Gale! You've come."

The dark figure was none other than 'Gale,' the largest Desert God Eagle kept in his territory. At this moment, Gale was angry at Victor's sudden dodge. It flapped its wings and yelled at Victor, as if to say that it had almost been injured because Victor had suddenly dodged.

After becoming familiar with Victor, Gale learned that Victor possessed superhuman strength. It would often secretly drop down on Victor from the sky, knowing that Victor could easily lift it without getting hurt. It treated this as a game.

Victor stepped forward and patted Gale's head, saying, "I'm sorry, I didn't know it was you. I promise I won't dodge next time."

"I see you here. Looks like Little Paru has arrived too."

Victor walked to the side of the ship and looked towards the shore. Sure enough, he spotted a small troop of Cavalry waving at the fleet from the riverbank. Victor immediately recognized Little Paru, who was surrounded by the Cavalry.
