Larya Fortress.
"Now is definitely the best time to send out the troops," the advisor urged anxiously. "If we miss this opportunity and they finish building their fortifications and setting up their magic arrays, we won’t know how much more we will have to pay!"
"No, we cannot send out the troops," Aiman firmly shook his head.
"You told me before that when it comes to war matters, I should listen to you!" the advisor said angrily.
The advisor’s name is Erich Lowen, a top graduate of the Yaleman Military Academy, who graduated with the highest honors and is a true genius of war.
If he hadn’t known Aiman since childhood, he definitely would not have come to help Aiman after graduation.
"Erich, listen to me, this is not about war," Aiman stretched lazily. "Sending troops out now would be good if we win, but what if we lose? Or if we achieve nothing? I could lose my position."
"You brought me here before because this is an easy job, a stepping stone, I am just here to gain some experience. I have a bigger stage waiting for me."
"I am ninety percent sure we can win!" Erich Lowen said seriously, "Even if they have two more top eighth-tier fighters, we can still win!"
"As long as we win, you can have anything you want!"
"No, no, no, my dear Erich, it’s not that simple. Even if we win, things can still go wrong." Aiman sighed, "Do you know? His Highness took two descendants of the Knights of the Round Table and led an army of fifty thousand but lost while ambushing at sea. If we win now, His Highness might think we are looking for trouble and trying to humiliate him!"
"My family’s power cannot be compared to His Highness’s, and even if it could, we wouldn’t dare offend him. In the end, I might have to give all the credit to him, saying it was thanks to His Highness that the enemy was weakened, and we took advantage of it."
"Besides, our mission is to defend Larya Fortress, not to attack."
"If we attack, we would be breaking military orders."
"Why is it so complicated…" Erich Lowen frowned slightly.
He is a very simple person; his whole life has been about learning how to fight and win battles.
He has never thought about things like Aiman mentioned.
"Is it complicated? This is Pande." Aiman shook his head, "We just need to report this matter. If they tell us to attack, we will attack. If they tell us to defend, we will defend."
"But if we wait just half a day, half a day! It will be different!" Erich Lowen said anxiously, "Opportunities pass by quickly!"
"I don’t seek to gain, but just wish to have no mistakes," Aiman said with open hands.
Erich Lowen looked deeply at his old friend.
He realized that he seemed to not recognize this guy anymore.
When they were young, they were fearless, often getting into trouble, drinking together, and laughing heartily.
Aiman said he wanted to become a Knight of the Round Table and expand Pande’s territory.
Erich said he would assist Aiman and help bring more glory to Peter Sen and Lowen.
And now? Aiman cares about the dirty things that the politicians care about, not whether they are beneficial to Pande itself.
Buzz!
At that moment, the Magic Stone began to shine wildly.
"Looks like it’s time for orders," Aiman said as he answered it.
At that moment, Erich was still praying, hoping for a command to attack.
"Report!"
Unfortunately, the shadow of a soldier appeared in the Magic Stone, "The enemy is coming!"
Aiman and Erich exchanged a glance.
"How many?" Aiman raised an eyebrow.
"One…"
"An eighth-tier warrior treats my fortress as if it is just a decoration, huh? Ha, let me meet him," Aiman said with a cold smile.
"Just as I thought, the opponent looks strong but is weak inside. He must have come here just to show off," Erich’s eyes flashed with sharpness. "If he had absolute power, he wouldn’t have come here now; he would just lead his troops to attack."
"Do you believe he will show great individual strength but will not use all his power?"
"Maybe you are right, but what to do is up to the higher-ups," Aiman picked up a radio and said, "First, report this matter up the chain."
Next, he shared Erich’s thoughts on the war.
Erich felt relieved when Aiman conveyed his message to the higher-ups.
I hope they pay attention; some opportunities, once missed, are truly lost.
……
Karoso stood proudly in the air, quietly watching the iron-like fortress before him.
Let him attack here; he won’t succeed even if he tries hard, unless he gets four more divisions.
The Pande Empire has made great sacrifices for this fortress, surrounding it with various magical arrays.
Not only that, but the soldiers inside the fortress have also received some enhancements; their physical strength is probably not below that of a third-tier Professional.
This is Pande’s special enhancement magic, which allows cavalry to charge against tanks effectively.
However, this kind of thing is much more expensive than tanks…
Karoso came over not to attack, but to make a show of strength, preventing the empire from acting recklessly.
The landing forces are currently at their weakest; ammunition has just been brought down and is not yet in place, the soldiers have not completed their supply needs, and the cannons are not set up properly.
If Larya Fortress sends troops at this time, it would be disastrous.
While a strong person can influence a war, a single strong person cannot capture a city; more of the work must be done by the soldiers.
Aiman and Erich came out without keeping Karoso waiting too long.
Aiman looked at Karoso in the sky, picked up a large megaphone, and shouted, "Is that Karoso Colloa over there?"
"That’s right," Karoso replied loudly.
"Are you here to surrender?" Aiman said loudly, "If you want to surrender, we can follow the treaty and give you the proper treatment as a prisoner."
The soldiers, who had been very nervous, felt much more relaxed when they heard Aiman say this.
"No, I’m here to see what you’re made of."
After Karoso finished speaking, he pointed his finger, and a row of lists appeared in front of him.
This is the latest feature of the bullet comment: Support!
It took one year and five months, and the loading bar was completed last month.
Inside, there are many strange and funny profile pictures, some of landscapes and beautiful women, with most being anime characters from a different world.
Behind each player’s profile picture, there are three characters. These characters can use the maximum power that Karoso currently has, but the equipment they wear gives extra bonuses, allowing them to go beyond Karoso’s limits!
Some of these characters are unfamiliar to Karoso, while others are very familiar.
For example, Merlin, Teresa, Aileen, Minaret, Russell, and Neymar are all included…
And Karoso needs to choose the most suitable one.
