Chapter 1605: Chapter 70: Bluffing
“Marshal, these two are Venerable Marcello and Venerable McDonald.
In the previous defense of Gutland Province, it was thanks to these two Honored Ones that we managed to stabilize the front lines!”
Marquis Simon enthusiastically introduced them.
The Alliance reinforcents have yet to arrive, but the support from the Black Forest Kingdom has co first.
It’s clear that the higher-ups in Dark Forest understand the importance and urgency of the situation.
At this juncture, a major defeat at any point could affect the entire situation.
If the situation collapses, the Human Race can afford the losses, but the Black Forest Kingdom cannot withstand it.
The addition of two more Sanctuary’s Second Order Powerhouses cannot bridge the gap in high-end forces between both sides, but the battle will no longer be one-sided.
“Your timing is perfect; the enemy has used despicable tactics to ambush the human strongholds stationed in Bofeil Province, and we are troubled by the imbalance of power between the two sides.
With the assistance of two Honored Ones, the upcoming war will be easier to fight!”
Hudson said with a chuckle.
This is not just flattery; coming to aid at the critical mont when both sides’ peak forces are imbalanced is indeed tily.
With the lesson from Bofeil Province, the two Sanctuary Powerhouses stationed in Parma Province will certainly be cautious.
Holding the front line is difficult, but fleeing successfully when the city falls has a very high success rate.
Even Sanctuary Powerhouses care about their reputation; if they return in disgrace after a defeat, where will they put their face!
Joining the Allied Forces is a high probability event, and by then, the comparison of Sanctuary power on both sides will not be so disparate.
Though they are indeed in nurical disadvantage, the quality is high. With so planning, they might even make so gains.
In fact, the Demonic Crocodile Clan and Giant Centipede’s previous actions have already gone too far, but they are unaware of it.
Killing a Sanctuary Powerhouse of the Human Race challenges the bottom line; how can the Human Alliance let this go unpunished?
If this trend is not curbed, who knows how many imitators will erge in the future.
“The Marshal is too polite; this is what we should do.
Fighting side by side with the Marshal is also our honor!
…”
Venerable Marcello and Venerable McDonald’s enthusiastic response amazed Marquis Simon standing by.
Having dealt with them over a dozen tis, he had always seen them with cold faces. This was the first ti he saw them speak with warmth.
Initially worried they might not get along with Hudson, putting him in an awkward position, there is no need to worry now.
The aloof Sanctuary Honored Ones also gauge their behavior based on the person they’re dealing with.
Briefly dazed, Marquis Simon quickly regained his composure. Regardless of the reason, the result is positive.
“Marshal, tomorrow we will catch up with those damned centipedes. How do you plan to fight them?”
Marquis Simon asked with concern.
There’s no room for hesitation; close combat is imminent, yet the Allied Forces are still bluffing.
Counterfeit is still counterfeit; no matter how well they perform, the Black Forest Army he leads cannot beco the Elite of the Alpha Kingdom.
In truth, the Black Forest Army, after being filtered once, still has a decent foundation.
Not only have they received basic military training, but they’ve also seen blood on the battlefield, far stronger than regular armies.
However, a series of defeats left no trace of elite ntality.
“Your Excellency Governor, of course, we will act according to plan, making steady progress!
Tell the soldiers that we are facing defeated generals, and there’s no need to show them any rcy.”
Hudson replied calmly.
Since they are pretending to be elites, they must continue the act all the way through.
Warfare is all about morale; as long as the enemy believes the Allied Forces are elites, they are elites.
The Centipede Army runs ahead, and the Allied Forces pursue from behind, which inherently gives the pursuers a psychological advantage over the fleeing enemies.
Now that they have reached the destination, the Giant Centipedes stopped running, but they can’t instantly reverse their disadvantage in morale.
The enemy’s superior numbers an that for the Allied Forces to achieve victory, they must continue to amplify their advantage in morale.
Launching an attack imdiately after catching up with the enemy is undoubtedly the best way to maintain the advantage.
Ordinary soldiers have limited awareness and can’t distinguish strength and weakness between both sides. As long as the Allied Forces are the ones initiating the attack, everyone will automatically assu their side has the upper hand.
Just as he was about to say sothing, Marquis Simon swallowed his words back.
The Commander in Chief before him is not an ordinary general he can question.
In his mind, Marquis Simon had already found an excuse for himself.
Not understanding Hudson’s tactics is normal; if he could understand, then the enemy could understand too.
Without opposition from Marquis Simon, the others would not oppose either.
The generals present in the tent are not fools; no one voiced any objections, primarily because they’re too smart.
Opposing the opinion of a normal Commander in Chief is possible, but decisions made by a legendary figure like Hudson are sure to have profound aning.
Not discovering the subtleties of these tactics indicates one’s limited insight; maybe others have already figured it out.
If one jumps out to ask why, wouldn’t it make them look unrefined?
Leaving an impression of incompetence on outsiders can greatly affect one’s career prospects.
Not knowing a thing, each pretended as if they understood.
This left the two Sanctuary Powerhouses perplexed; however, despite their formidable personal strength, they hadn’t encountered military matters for hundreds of years.
Unable to understand, they simply couldn’t be bothered.
Watching all the high-level Allied Forces exuding a “mysterious confidence,” Hudson knew that his plan was half successful; the next step was to pass this confidence on.
