Seeing such a scene and hearing Zachary's words, the other fourth-level Beast Masters from Genosha began to understand the situation they were facing.
At the sa ti, a bigger question arose in everyone's minds: how did Charles know the outco when the Stellar Empire's Beast Masters had not yet taken action?
Facing the puzzled gazes of the Genosha Beast Masters around him, Charles thought for a mont and decided to explain:
"Let's think from their perspective. If I were one of the Stellar Empire's Beast Masters, facing the pursuit of enemies behind , I would definitely try to find a way to weaken their strength or create so distance. In this special environnt of Eye of Ice and Fire, if there's one critical issue, it would be the balanced area."
Charles paused for a mont before continuing to explain:
"Silas is quite clever and decisive. By doing this, he can significantly weaken our strength. Let's take so ti to rest now."
After hearing Charles's words, Zachary fell into deep thought.
He understood what it ant to think from soone else's perspective. He had also heard his father, General Mason, talk about this concept. So exceptionally skilled tactical masters could imrse themselves in the enemy's situation and deduce their subsequent plans and strategies by thinking like the enemy.
Zachary had only heard of such thods, even his father Mason had ntioned them, but he had never felt confident he could accomplish sothing like that.
To his surprise, Charles, a boy his own age, was actually able to do it!
For those young n lacking tactical knowledge, they didn't realize how difficult this was.
Perhaps even if they did know, it wouldn't seem particularly strange to them, because the one leading them was none other than Charles!
In their eyes, it was no surprise at all that Charles could achieve such feats!
Zachary took a deep breath. He planned to have a serious discussion with his father when he got back, to see if he could arrange for so battlefield tacticians to teach Charles.
If that happened, Charles's future performance would be even more terrifying!
Zachary suppressed his thoughts and slowly asked, "Charles, if that's the case, what should we do?"
Charles glanced at Zachary a little longer, and even Camilla shifted her gaze to him.
In the past, Zachary rarely referred to Charles by his na, he usually just called him directly.
"You all should rest well. I'll handle the next matters." Charles said slowly.
Hearing Charles's words, the others present turned their gazes towards him, surprised as they asked:
"Charles, are you saying we should rest while you go alone?"
"Yeah, Charles, there are many fourth-level Beast Masters on the other side. Isn't it dangerous for you to go alone?"
"It's not just dangerous, it's way too dangerous. We should all go together!"
Zachary and Camilla nodded in agreent, expressing their concern that it was indeed too dangerous for Charles to go by himself.
To their surprise, Charles replied calmly:
"I don't really need to rest. The destruction of the balanced area by the Stellar Empire's Beast Masters doesn't affect much."
Everyone was stunned by this statent, montarily unable to react.
What does it an to not need rest?
What does it an to be unaffected?

Zachary's mouth dropped open as he kept recalling Charles's state during their journey, and a thought began to erge in his mind that he found hard to accept.
"Charles, were you resting all this ti just to wait for us?" Zachary asked, dazed.
Charles nodded, scratched his head, and replied slowly:
"Well, not entirely. Sotis it's nice to take a break."
The other fourth-level Beast Masters from Genosha were montarily struck by shock akin to a landslide or tsunami at Charles's calm expression.
They had taken many breaks along the way, almost every distance they covered required a pause due to the ice and fire energy within them, which was necessary to prevent physical and ntal issues.
Now, Charles was admitting that he did not need to rest in the balanced area. How bizarre was that!
"You—no, Charles, how exactly are you able to do this? Even if your body is strong enough to go without rest for a long ti, wouldn't the constant alternating energy types create ntal issues?" Zachary said slowly.
Charles thought for a mont and then answered succinctly, "The impact of these ice and fire energies on my mind feels like just a tickle to , it's not a problem at all."
Upon hearing this, everyone present felt as if their mouths were filled with lead, heavy and unable to open.
As fellow teenage prodigies, so had the ability to completely shatter the confidence of others.
If they weren't training in the balanced area, they would have long since faced ntal collapse, unable to distinguish friend from foe, spiraling into chaos.
Yet Charles claid that the ntal effects felt like rely a tickle?
An expression of despair appeared on everyone's faces, and no one dared to speak against Charles's arrangents. They all silently nodded, submitting to his leadership.
Charles sensed that the atmosphere around him was sowhat off, he wondered if his words had hit them too hard.
It was unavoidable, really. He was an all-attribute Beast Master, and the ice and fire energies didn't impact him much. Moreover, given his physical qualities and adaptability, he could completely digest the current intensity of the ice and fire energy.
The ntal effects on a Beast Master posed no issue for him, after all, he had successfully escaped the influence of the "forbidden favor" during the ninth-level Beast Master Lucas's illusion.
Now, facing the ntal effects of these ice and fire energies, Charles didn't feel the least bit tense.
"You all should focus on improving your strength here. Leave the Stellar Empire's Beast Masters to ." Charles said slowly.
Camilla asked curiously, "Charles, what do you plan to do? After all, they have the advantage in numbers, and they might still have so hidden trump cards!"
Upon hearing Camilla's words, the others beca curious as well and turned their attention to Charles.
Charles thought for a mont and decided to teach this group of young Beast Masters a lesson. He said:
"To achieve victory in battle, the best strategy is to leverage your strengths and attack the enemy's weakest points. I believe everyone can agree on that."
The young ones nodded in unison, quickly realizing that the complex nature of combat had beco crystal clear under Charles's guidance.
Zachary was the most shocked of all. His father, Mason, had explained nurous battlefield scenarios to him, and nearly all of them were clarified by Charles's statent.
In an instant, many things that Zachary had previously struggled to understand beca transparent in his mind. He widened his eyes and stared intently at Charles.
The thoughts that had just occupied Zachary's mind vanished without a trace. What tactical master was teaching Charles?
Now Zachary felt that Charles no longer needed anyone else's instruction, he himself was a born tactical master!
"Now that you understand this principle, let's analyze what my advantages are." Charles said slowly.
"It's that Charles doesn't need to rest in the balanced area, while the Stellar Empire's Beast Masters must rest there to avoid collapse. Just now, their advantage was in front of us, so the balanced area was their stronghold!" Zachary quickly pieced it together.
Charles nodded and, under the eager gazes of everyone, said, "My plan is to charge ahead with full force, bypass the Stellar Empire's Beast Masters, and, while they are resting, reach their front and destroy the balanced area."
"Wow! That's amazing!"
"I can already imagine it. If this happens, the Stellar Empire's Beast Masters are going to lose their minds!"
"Yeah, especially when they end up destroying the balanced area behind them. At that point, they'll be stuck—unable to advance or retreat—and just waiting to die!"
"Not necessarily. If they notice what's happening, they might fight desperately!"
"In that case, as long as Charles avoids battle and drags things out slowly, victory will surely belong to us!"
The young ones were buzzing with excitent, discussing the strategy as if they were the ones who had co up with it, each boy glancing at Charles with admiration.
They found it hard to understand why, despite all being human, so people were just so much smarter.
If it were them, they couldn't co up with sothing like this in a year!
Zachary, however, was different. He firmly committed Charles's words to mory, planning to discuss them thoroughly with his father, Mason, when he returned.
He had a feeling that Mason, the general of Genosha, would be so shocked by Charles's words that he would jump up in surprise!
"Alright, the plan is set. The rest is up to ." Charles said slowly. He stood up and left the balanced area where the Genosha Beast Masters had been resting, beginning to move forward quickly.
The young Genosha Beast Masters who remained behind shifted from their intense discussions to a heavy silence.
Everyone watched Charles's retreating figure, speechless.
It wasn't until Charles's silhouette disappeared that soone murmured:
"I feel so useless. Everything relies on Charles. If only I were a bit stronger, maybe I could help a little."
"Yeah, Charles really has it tough. If it weren't for him, we would have been defeated by the Stellar Empire's Beast Masters a long ti ago."
"Don't be so downcast. This is our battlefield now. Everyone, pay attention! Our fight is to focus on improving our strength!" Zachary shouted.
This was the only thing they could do right now!
