After Mora left, the entire conference room fell silent. The legion Legion Commander exchanged glances but remained silent, all their eyes turning to Viscount Borey.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Viscount Borey spoke up directly, "Since His Majesty the Grand Duke has given us advice, let's discuss it according to that advice."

Suddenly, a Noble Legions commander spoke up and asked, "Excuse me, Viscount Borey, there is something I would like to ask you to confirm."

As you've probably heard, His Majesty the Grand Duke has personally assured us that our legion will no longer need to act as bait.

I wonder if this matter has been officially settled now? After all, it's a matter of great importance, and if it can't be finalized, it could have a significant impact on the entire war situation!

Therefore, I hope that Your Excellency can give me a definite answer~

Another Noble Legions commander looked at Viscount Borey with him, quietly awaiting Viscount Borey reply.

Kimberley and Labia expected Viscount Borey to erupt in anger and berate the two men, but Viscount Borey showed no reaction whatsoever and simply replied, "Since His Majesty the Grand Duke has agreed, I naturally will not object. If it is necessary to lure the enemy this time, my Imperial Guard Legion will be responsible for it!"

Do you have any other questions?

The Noble Legions who had asked the question was taken aback by Viscount Borey's decisive answer and was momentarily speechless before finally saying, "That's good, I have no more questions!"

"Then let's continue. Let's discuss how to respond, assuming the Northern Alliance Army launch a surprise attack on us first?"

After a moment, Labia spoke first, "Since the Imperial Guard Legion is willing to take on the task of luring the enemy, why not just abandon our legion's responsibility for the forward camp and voluntarily give way to the road leading to the central camp?"

This would also better lure the enemy to attack our central army, and then we could mobilize our Cavalry to encircle them, how about that?

"The Northern Alliance Army aren't stupid. If you abandon the forward camp directly, won't they think it's a trap?" Kimberley said with a look of disdain.

"Viscount Borey only said that if it was necessary to lure the enemy, he would use the Imperial Guard Legion only for the mission of luring the enemy, not that he necessarily had to lure the enemy."

"Besides, we only have a few Cavalry battalions. Even if we really do manage to defeat the Iron Knights, it doesn't mean our Cavalry force can contend with the Northern Alliance Army."

Labia was annoyed by Kimberley's tone, but found it difficult to refute him.

Just then, Viscount Borey spoke up again, saying, "Then let's do it this way. I'll switch shifts with Labia, and the Imperial Guard Legion will take charge of guarding the forward camp."

There's no need for a Cavalry encirclement. Each unit can hold its own camp. As soon as the enemy launches an attack, I will lead my troops to gradually abandon the forward camp and retreat in large strides, drawing the enemy deeper into our territory.

Once we push to the central command position, an enemy force will surely penetrate deep into our Main Camp. Then, all the other units can seize the opportunity to encircle them and we're sure to achieve victory!

No one expected Viscount Borey to be so proactive, especially Kimberley, who almost stood up to stop Borre's decision; this kind of task was not easy to complete.

The retreat could easily result in a complete rout. The Imperial Guard Legion is indeed quite strong, but using it for this kind of mission would be a waste.

Just as Kimberley was about to lose his temper, Viscount Borey continued, "It's settled then. I have confidence in my men, and this time we must win."

Otherwise, once news of the defeat in the Southern Region spreads, our morale will be completely destroyed."

Since Viscount Borey had said so, Kimberley could no longer persuade them. The group then continued to discuss the details of the battle. Thanks to Viscount Borey's noble character, this time no one shirked responsibility, and they quickly completed most of the plan.

Grand Duke Mora returned to his camp and met Audrey, who asked him anxiously.

"How is it, my Grand Duke?"

"Don't worry, Audrey, I've told those guys everything you told me."

Audrey breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good!"

Mora gently stroked Audrey's hair. "Darling, if you're worried, I can take you back to Silver Maple City. Anyway, Borei is here; just leave it to them."

"No, my lord, if we leave, it could affect the morale of the troops. Please don't say that again."

"Fine, if you don't want to, then forget it!"
