Chapter 1578: Chapter 61, The Night Before the Great Battle_2
“Marshal, the enemy’s reaction seems off. Even if they are feigning weakness, they shouldn’t be sending such a small force.
If they had sent tens of thousands of troops just now, the battle situation would have been entirely different!”
Governor Piers said with a grave expression.
No matter how bright the moonlight is, it still cannot compare to dayti. Utilizing their advantage in night battles, the smaller force of Centipede soldiers achieved a 1:1 exchange.
If the camp defenses hadn’t been strict enough, the situation would have been worse.
If the enemy force that ca to launch a stealth attack increased a hundredfold, exploiting the human soldiers’ discomfort with the night, they might actually succeed in the ambush.
“The enemy’s sneak attack indeed wasn’t as unexpected as we anticipated, none of the preparations we made were put to use.
However, tonight is indeed a good ti for a sneak attack!
The troops have just entered the Hundred-Mile Corridor, completely unfamiliar with the surroundings. If a force is ambushed in the forests on both sides, the probability of a successful night attack is at least twenty percent.
The small skirmish just now has only two possibilities: either the enemy has another plan; or they are tight on troop strength.
Plans must also consider the actual situation.
The Hundred Mile Corridor is such a limited area, that there aren’t many tactics that can be employed within it.
Besides, they just fought a war with the Magical Beasts, their relations can’t imdiately be repaired, they certainly can’t outflank us from the Black Stone Mountain Range!
Compared to such a small probability event, I am more inclined to the latter.
Having erged from the Earth Core World, the journey must be quite far though we do not know how far, it likely wasn’t easy.
According to feedback from the Black Forest battlefield, the Centipede Clan has already put in over five hundred thousand troops, which is absolutely a significant pressure for an Earth Core race.
If they still had hundreds of thousands of troops stationed, they wouldn’t have imdiately stopped after the last defeat!”
Hudson calmly analyzed.
Any small clue on the battlefield is a source of intelligence. You just have to distill it to reveal the truth.
In military matters, any risky yet clever strategy rarely succeeds.
A twenty percent success chance is already worth a gamble.
If you don’t dare to gamble, then don’t take risks, no one can succeed in every plan every ti.
In this regard, Hudson has significant experience. The multiple clever strategies he employed before were all dependent on information gaps.
If the enemy hadn’t experienced it, lacked coping experience, and had no prior warnings, it wouldn’t have succeeded so smoothly.
The Southeastern Province Noble Alliance clearly ca prepared, and no matter what crafty thods are used, their success probability is not high.
From the analyzed information, backtracking to deduce the enemy’s situation becos much simpler.
“Marshal ans that the enemy does not wish to engage in a decisive battle with us, they are constantly sending people to harass only to delay ti.
But if they lack troops, why are they hastily attacking the Black Forest Kingdom, aren’t they afraid of us cutting off their retreat?”
Governor Piers said incredulously.
The inferred result just makes no logical sense!
Not long ago they fought a battle, and now they dare to expose their backs, it’s purely courting death.
“To verify this problem, we can only ask the higher-ups of the Giant Foot Centipede Clan!
Maybe they are brainwashed by the Dark Power, thinking differently from us, making decisions without considering the consequences.
Or they are so used to reigning supre in the Earth Core World, constantly bullying others without suffering any losses.
Or perhaps King Centipede is foolish and incompetent, his court is full of flatterers and traitors, making decisions haphazardly.
…
Various situations are possible, if they could be approached with common sense, they wouldn’t have invaded my Southeastern Province before!”
Hudson said, spreading his hands.
It’s not that he underestimates the enemy, it’s just that the Giant Foot Centipede Clan has too many bizarre moves.
Invading the Southeastern Province was their first mistake, which could be excused as a strategic misjudgnt due to unfamiliarity.
Then expanding to the Black Stone Mountain Range and provoking the Magical Beasts was a typical failure to learn from mistakes.
If Hudson’s hypothesis is correct, then this would be their third strategic error.
It’s hard to believe that a race could repeatedly make strategic errors without an issue in decision-making.
The essence of war is to avoid making mistakes oneself and then waiting for the enemy to make mistakes.
No matter what happens behind the scenes, since the enemy made a mistake, it must be well exploited.
…
Late at night, in the Centipede’s camp, the leaders are still busy.
Master Seyam hastily rushed back to attend the eting, and as for the team that went out to harass the enemy, naturally, there was no trace of them.
“Respected One, how are the results of the battle?”
King Centipede asked with concern.
Without sufficient strength, nothing instills confidence.
In the Earth Core World, the Giant Foot Centipede Clan was a major clan, but upon reaching the ground world, they imdiately beca nothing.
This disparity is not sothing ordinary people can accept. Fortunately, they aren’t the only one suffering, the plight among many Earth Core races is quite similar.
Even the most downtrodden kingdom’s comprehensive strength cannot be compared.
The current situation is the best example.
The Black Forest Kingdom was initially defeated repeatedly, but after assembling the private armies of nobles from the surrounding provinces, they beca sowhat formidable.
According to Marshal Howell’s response, it’s not that they cannot defeat the enemy army, but they cannot secure victory while preserving their main forces.
