People on both sides of the sand table also dislike each other a little bit, and there is also some hatred between the two countries. After all, the two countries have been fighting for hundreds of years, and it is the first time that they are unified under one crown.
The people of the Altia Empire feel that the Crowlanders are cowardly and cunning. Although His Majesty Queen's divine power cannot be resisted, it is normal to surrender in despair. However, the Knights of the Altia Empire still dare to face the terrifying Swarm monsters when their lord has not surrendered.
The Krorans surrendered directly without fighting any major battles. This betrayal of their country was despised by most Alteans.
And those Croland MPs are fanatical converts, and they defected to Chloe relatively late. So in order to prove that their surrender was correct and just, they showed more loyalty to Queen Chloe than the Altians.
They also accused Arthur in public, saying that he defied fate and resisted the great Chloe Queen, and he should pay the price with one hand and one leg.
Only when the subordinates have slight confrontation can it be easier to control. When the subordinates unite with each other, the will of the leader can easily be emptied out. Chloe is also happy to see the confrontation between the two sides. From time to time, she also praises those flattering Senator Croland.
At this stage, she still needs to make use of the Croland people's 300,000 troops, as well as their bastion, magic crystal weapons, and various resources. These are all things she needs to defeat Astrologers' Association.
Flying insects are still flying in the blue sky, providing Chloe with information about the association's military strength at all times, whether it is terror beasts, venom beasts, or a large number of Highlander legions.
In the eyes of Chloe, they are all chickens and dogs. So what if the number reaches one million? The combat effectiveness of Swarm, who has left Swarm Network, has dropped by more than one level.
She Chloe has no reason to lose this war. She not only wants to win, she also wants to win beautifully. When this battle is over, the Oakley Empire will realize its lack of strength and surrender. Then her mission will be completed.
Soon Chloe will be able to return to Swarm with her own small network. She will also become a high-level node and achieve greater achievements than Stars.
It would be better if Overmind held Stars responsible for concealing information about the association and not reporting it. Chloe remembered the way Stars mocked him at the camp gate very clearly.
Strategically, despise the enemy, and tactically, attach importance to the enemy.
Chloe hid his disdain for the association's troops, listened carefully to everyone's speeches in the military conference room, and formulated an effective combat plan.
What is rare is that at this military meeting, there was only one defensive plan based on the Watcher Fortress, and the remaining two were offensive plans.
Maybe they were all influenced by Chloe. The generals and staff all felt that as long as they followed Swarm of Chloe, they would be invincible.
The first offensive plan is to rely on the fortress group to defend first, and then launch a counterattack after the enemy is tired.
The second offensive plan was proposed by Jonathan, which was to assemble the existing forces and launch a direct counterattack. The counterattack should not only be sudden, but also powerful, directly penetrating into the traditional sphere of influence of the Highlanders.
Chloe likes the second plan very much. She doesn't know whether Jonathan is really brave or just proposed it to please herself, but she really likes this plan.
When Chloe told Jonathan that the enemy had a war potential of one million, Jonathan's face immediately froze. Now Chloe was sure that he brought it up just to please himself.
Jonathan saw a look of disappointment on Chloe's face, and a shameful anger rose in his heart.
"Your Majesty Queen! One million is a daunting amount, but as long as it is for His Majesty Queen, I am willing to lead Knight Order to take the lead in the charge! I will never waver until I die in battle."
With his face flushed, Jonathan slapped his chest and roared loud enough for everyone to hear.
On the other side of the sand table, the Crowlanders also actively began to express their loyalty, and the voices in the conference room began to become chaotic.
A fat congressman panted and knelt down at Chloe's feet, expressing his courage to be a pioneer.
Humans are so hypocritical.
This is Chloe's deepest feeling at the moment. Before she ventured into Death Forest, she had almost never experienced care and respect. After her mother died, love also left with her.
People now respect and worship her so much not because they really love her or are loyal to her, but because they are afraid, such as Arthur, Raul.
Some are for profit and money, such as the fat man kneeling at her feet.
In fact, Jonathan is still a man with a sense of honor. At the most critical moment of the Battle of Huitouqiu, he also planned to launch a desperate charge to change the situation that seemed to be about to fail.
His statement just now was somewhat sincere.
Perhaps it was due to family glory. His most distinguished status in name was not the title of Earl, but the uncle of Queen.
Because of this, he has become more and more strict with himself recently.
When reprimanding his servants, Jonathan would also say, don't let your rude behavior bring shame to His Majesty Queen.
All this information was given to Chloe by Erica. This blue-haired personal maid is very adaptable to her new job.
Chloe feels that there is no need for Jonathan to be like this. She has no real blood relationship with Jonathan. Her mother was arranged by the association and is not really from Jonathan's family.
But looking at this Knight, Chloe still didn't intend to tell these things. And she was ready to really give Jonathan, a man with some Knight virtues, a chance, a chance to be recorded in the epic, and a chance to become famous all over the world.
Ignoring the fat man at his feet, Chloe began to speak, "The number of troops that Astrologers' Association can mobilize seems to be more than one million. This is the intelligence observed by Swarm, but it is obvious that they cannot mobilize so many troops at the same time."
"Cam speculates that the combat strength they can command at the first time is about 600,000, which is the limit. Among them are at least 200,000 to 250,000 highlanders, and the enemy Swarm under Ruju's command is at most 400,000."
"We also have a large army. There are 400,000 human troops. Counting the surrendered highlanders and newly recruited troops, it can reach 500,000."
"Such a large army would be very difficult to deploy unless it were on the grasslands of the Highlanders.
Judging from the battles we fought with the association in the past few days, their combat power is far inferior to my Swarm, and I don't think their commander can command a large-scale battle with more than a million troops participating."
Chloe's tone was full of confidence, "Therefore, the battle plan is to adopt Jonathan's advice and take the initiative to enter the territory of the Highlanders. In the open grassland, I will lead you to have a decisive battle with them on a scale of millions."
