BXBX NOVEL Chapter 351 Invasion Plan
"Good? What is so good about any of what you said? I\'m telling you after the two months time frame we will be in a miserable situation even as the victors!!" Billy replied angrily, still looking at Jabba for a moment and then looking back at the fighting going on behind him
*BOOOOOM*
"The good thing is that all your problems will be solved if we ignore the two-month deadline, let\'s reorganize all plans to minimize losses. That was one of my master\'s instructions anyway."
"...Eh?" Billy turned to Jabba and gave a stupid and uncertain look
Jabba furrowed his eyebrows and asked, "What are you looking at?!"
"You say we can ignore the two-month deadline? Do you mean, we can slow down..? This doesn\'t make sense... After you told me what happened on that planet Nihari and that there was no army to support him there, I thought Robin would want us to speed up for him to take over the Demon army and leads them to Planet Nihari to attack that northern region..."
"That is what I thought too, after we got back to the gate in Jura City I was going to try to convince him not to do what you just said, but he went extremely quiet, he seemed remarkably calm and told us to slow down the control of the Flame Empire Continent and reduce the losses, then he walked alone…." Jabba raised his shoulders. and speak
"Quiet? Robin was.. quiet..?! AND YOU LET HIM GO, YOU STUPID BASTARDS?!" Billy screamed and kicked Jabba\'s leg, the kick was light because he was afraid to hurt himself though
"Really? Are we going to discuss this again?" Jabba angrily replied, "You do have master\'s soul imprint anyway, if you dare then go on try to contact him to find out where he is and what he is doing."
"...." Billy was silent for a few seconds, his mouth wide open, not knowing what to say, and finally he spoke, "Ahem, you and Amon go and defend those who attack us from behind, I will focus on helping Sakar end the siege on City, when we are done with them, let\'s meet again and see what we\'ll do from now on."
"Tsk~ That\'s what I thought..." Jabba replied sarcastically and then patted Amon on the shoulder, "Let\'s go."
------------
Five hours later -- in the tallest building inside the besieged city
"Pheo~ They are too good for people who haven\'t tasted war for tens of thousands of years, Aren\'t they supposed to be immersed in pleasures and neglect their forces? That\'s puzzling…" Jabba sat on the sofa and muttered, looking at the ceiling.
"See what I mean? I don\'t know if it\'s because of their cultivation with the rest of the empires and their fear of future animosity with them, or because of the inherent pride in their veins as an imperial family, but everything around the Flame Empire is a few times stronger and better than it should be!" Billy nodded as he looked out the window at the ruined gate
"Brother, what are our losses today?" Amon looked toward Sakar, who is in charge of the forces in this campaign, and asked.
"26 sages and 437 saints." Sakar replied in his usual raspy voice, "There are similar numbers who are seriously injured and need a few weeks of treatment to be able to fight again, and about 300 Sages and ten thousand saints need a week of rest and treatment to continue the fight."
"This..."
"We have looked down on the forces of this planet too much.." Jabba said while knotting his eyebrows
Everyone nodded except Billy, he didn\'t really know whether to curse this fact or feel proud
As for the rest, they were thinking about what went wrong...
What they have experienced in the ancestral continent gave them the impression that their stay on this planet will always be an easy ride
Their battle at the central continent was a cruel wake-up call, they came to the Flame Empire Continent prepared to face a strong enemy, but even though they still got the shock of their lives facing the real thing...
These guys weren\'t cattle ready to be slaughtered, if the numbers were even then the outcome would be unpredictable!
Then Sakar continued, "The good thing is that we will have destroyed all the imperial forces within a thousand miles around us in all directions, we may face small battles and attacks from the rear as usual, but we will not encounter another battle of this size until after ten days of advance At least, we can catch our breath on the way."
Jabba furrowed his eyebrows firmly, "Another battle like this in ten days? Damn, this shouldn\'t go on, I\'m starting to thank fate for what happened in Nihari, if the war had started there and you had to continue at the same pace here, no one in the Demon army would be left to catch up with us, And without the Demon forces, we would have been crushed in the northern Nihari region! ..what will be the plan for the next stage?"
"...You said Robin gave us permission to ignore the deadline of two months, we should make the best use of it. We have to protect the rear of the army from now on." Billy rubbed his forehead for a moment and then continued, "I suggest that we divide the army into four divisions, let us say under the command of I, Sakar, Jabba, and Amon, and attack the nearby cities in an orderly fashion and at the same time instead of walking straight because this gives them a chance to gather in front of us and behind us,
As for moving in four different directions, we will extend our control over the continent in the actual sense and reduce -if not eliminate- the burden of huge battles... I suggest that we put protection teams in every city we conquer, say 500 Saints and a few Sages so that they secure the rear of the army and take care and secure the prisoners and the innocent in those cities."
Everyone nodded, but then Jabba hurriedly added, "You said earlier that the common people don\'t know what\'s going on, so I have a suggestion, I\'m saying that we send before us all of the Demons who have trained in the Major Heavenly Law of the Winds and know the language of this world to tell to use the Minor Heavenly Law of Sound and tell everyone With what happened in the Ancestral Continent and that we have the right to this attack and we are not just demons we came to eat them, perhaps this softens the intensity of their defense against us."
"Good suggestion! ...but not many Demons train the Wind Law and know the language of the world at the same time.." Moren spoke
Billy cracked his fingers and spoke excitedly, "No problem, the ships that Robin designed can cover the back and forth to Ancestor Continent in a round trip in just 3 months, we can send ships to fetch the Burtons\' Wind Corps from Ancestor Continent, wait, we can even bring all the Burtons to help us!"
"Good, we can also bring in more Demons to make up for the dead and injured, and to divide more armies." Sakar nodded at the suggestion.
"Excellent.. so we have 3 months until the arrival of reinforcements, during which we can strengthen the rear of the army and consolidate our control over the lands we have already taken, and then we can continue the conquest in the south, north, and west of the continent, and during this, we besiege the northeastern region of the continent that contains The capital until support arrives, after it arrives, we will continue our way from all sides until we reach the capital and effectively besiege it until it falls… Is there an objection?"
Everyone looked at each other for a few seconds and then spoke in one breath, "Agreed."
