However, just before Redd had time to savor the fruits of victory brought by this "soldier that conquers the enemy without fighting",
There was a sound of rapid footsteps suddenly, followed by the sound of the door being violently pushed open - it turned out that Douglas had barged in with a sudden rush, holding a very important-looking document in his hand.
"Your Highness! Something big has happened!" Douglas shouted with horror on his face, and there was even a layer of fine beads of sweat on his forehead.
"According to reliable information, the Three Daughters Kingdom has assembled a total of 200,000 soldiers at the Myr port!
Moreover, Lys also gathered battleships, so densely packed that they couldn't even be counted!
Now I have no idea what their plans are!"
Hearing this astonishing number, Redd couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, but his expression soon returned to calm.
Not only that, there was an imperceptible smile at the corner of his mouth, and that smile seemed to contain an indescribable confidence and arrogance.
"Two hundred thousand? Well... that's a pretty decent number."
Redd said in a calm tone, as if this matter had nothing to do with him,
"Douglas, immediately send more men to monitor the two armies. Remember, the number must be at least ten times the original number!
I want you to feel their every move clearly.
Regardless of when they boarded the ship, which route they took, and where their final destination was, this information must be reported to me as soon as possible.
Do you understand?"
Looking at the calm and composed Redd in front of him, Douglas secretly complained in his heart.
After all, there are only 20,000 guard troops stationed in Volantis city right now. If the other party really comes here, the consequences will be unimaginable!
Redd slowly stood up from his seat, then walked towards the window with steady and firm steps.
He stared quietly out of the window, his eyes crossed the boundaries of the city, and landed on the King Ghidorah, which was as huge as a mountain and was walking on the ground in the distance.
Redd's eyes were filled with an indescribable confidence and determination, as if everything was under control.
He whispered, "An army composed of 200,000 ordinary humans...
In the face of this truly powerful force, they are just like 200,000 weak lambs who have no ability to resist and can only wait for the fate of being slaughtered!
If these people dare to attack, then King Ghidorah can take this opportunity to stretch its thick and powerful body and move its muscles.
So, all you have to do is keep a close eye on the movements of the enemy troops; as for other aspects, leave them all to me!"
Redd's calmness and high trust in his own strength in these words deeply affected Douglas on the side.
That's right! Since there is such a brave and fearless His Highness the Prince sitting in command, and there is a magical dragon that only appears in legends as a backing support, how much trouble can an army of only 200,000 people cause?
Thinking of this, Douglas couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and took a deep breath of fresh air to calm down his slightly nervous and excited mood.
Afterwards, he bowed respectfully to Redd to express his compliance with the order, then quickly turned around and took long strides to leave in a hurry, and began to deploy and investigate the enemy's military situation and other related important matters.
In the study room, Redd turned his attention to the map again.
The threat from the south seemed imminent, but it made him clearer about the next path:
Quickly capture Qohor with the power of thunder, digest its magical legacy, and then... it is time to completely solve the hidden danger of the Three Daughters kingdom.
The gears of war are accelerating according to his will.
Just when Redd focused all his energy on the huge army of Myr and Lys coming like a tide from the south, numbering as many as 200,000 people,
A completely unexpected and extremely bad news came unexpectedly from the far northern front!
It turned out that Marcus, the brave and resourceful general, personally commanded a mighty and powerful expeditionary force.
On the way to the destination - the mysterious and ancient Qohor at lightning speed,
But no one expected that they would suddenly fall into a desperate situation and be unable to extricate themselves when passing the ruins of an abandoned ancient city-state named A Noi!
In this urgent letter for help delivered to Redd, Marcus was worried and anxious and described a frightening and terrifying scene to the commander in detail:
On the one hand, this expeditionary force must always maintain a high degree of vigilance to prevent the remaining Dothraki cavalry whose movements are erratic and haunting like ghosts.
And the extremely vicious Unsullieds sent from the Qohor side launched a sudden attack;
On the other hand, the more thorny problem is that they unfortunately encountered a group of people who have been entrenched in Rhoyne and its many tributaries for a long time.
Even extending to the hidden rivers deep underground, ruthless and brutal river pirate gangs violently attacked and harassed people one after another.
Due to the initial underestimation of this situation, Marcus was taken lightly. As a result, Marcus's troops suffered heavy losses and suffered heavy casualties.
Even the 30,000 additional soldiers who were urgently dispatched to reinforce the siege ended up losing more than half of their troops!
Due to constant harassment and attacks from hostile forces from all sides - river pirates, Dothraki and Unsullied, etc. - the expeditionary force's food and grass supply lines have become extremely fragile and easily destroyed.
This puts frontline soldiers often in crisis of food shortages, and therefore they are under tremendous pressure and risks for survival.
At the same time, the already scarce natural resources in this strange land were unable to support the large army's thirst for supplies.
In such an extremely harsh environment, fear and uneasiness gradually grew deep in the hearts of the soldiers and spread rapidly;
The morale of the entire army also declined until it was on the verge of collapse.
What's more, some people who are not determined have already become rebellious and have fled the battlefield or surrendered to the enemy.
As the commander-in-chief, Marcus knew very well: If effective measures are not taken to reverse the current predicament, then the expeditionary force under his personal command will inevitably be destroyed!
But now, he himself is at a loss as to what to do...
What makes people feel even more frightened and worried is that among this group of vicious river pirates, Marcus was surprised to see a familiar yet unfamiliar flag - that was the logo of the legendary Brave Companions (Blood Troupe)!
