Grandmaster Hunter of Age of Mythology

Chapter 421: The King Misunderstood and Agreed to Let Tan Aili Go Directly

The king sighed and said, "There are no soldiers available for the time being. If the imperial guards of the capital go out in a big way, capturing cities and territories along the way, they must win without losing, and there must not be any heavy casualties, in order to catch up with the opportunity. This seems as impossible as climbing to the sky."

Blaney understood that the king only had 100,000 imperial guards and 10,000 royal knights at his disposal, all of whom were used to defend the suburbs of the capital.

At this time, the king appointed Tan Aili as the commander, gave her 20,000 imperial guards and asked her to fight out to see how effective Tan Aili's ability to lead the army was. The king had no idea at the moment.

The study fell into silence, because the attack on Queek Province might encounter three small countries who would secretly send troops to block the attack like evil wolves in the dark. The situation was like a fog, murky and unclear, and no prince was able to send troops to attack for the time being.

Blaney suddenly had an idea and said, "How about letting Tan Aili deploy troops to the northwest and attack the Quick Province directly? She has been obsessed with the Quick Province, like a moth to a flame, and it has been going on for more than a day or two."

The king thought about the long supply line, which stretched thousands of miles from the capital to the northwest. It was hopeless. Since the founding of the country, there have been few such expeditions. This war will definitely cost the people a lot of money.

Supplying an army of 20,000 would be a headache for any major country, as it would be like burning money.

Tan Aili has absolutely no experience in leading troops. She was given two months to familiarize herself with the troops. If she doesn't even have this wiggle room, how can she lead the troops well?

The king thought that Blaney did not understand military affairs and was just daydreaming, so he ignored it. This move was against the rules. A commander who was hastily sent into battle would not be accepted by the generals, and he did not have enough qualifications to convince others.

"My dear, I understand your feelings. The province of Kuik is empty this time, and I don't want to miss this opportunity. However, Tan Aili has no experience, and it's too hasty, so it will definitely not work."

The king shook his head repeatedly. Sending troops at this time would be like a blind man riding a blind horse, just like a gambler, and would definitely end in a disastrous defeat.

Blainey: "Your Majesty, don't worry. That vixen... no, this Tan Aili has her own way of thinking when she encounters pressure. This will definitely succeed. Besides, if we send magicians into the army to assist, it will be like adding sharp fangs to the army. There is no doubt about it."

There are three benefits of having Tan Aili in charge.

First, Tan Aili is obsessed with the Quick Province, and this strong desire will transform into a powerful motivation and determination, driving her to go all out and do everything she can to win. Just like a hungry beast seeing its prey, it will definitely chase it at the risk of its life.

Secondly, in everyone's eyes, she is a newcomer without too many traditional military constraints, and may be able to bring unique strategic thinking and tactical means, break the routine, and win by surprise. Just like a new seedling breaking through the soil, full of unknown vitality and possibilities.

Third, Tan Aili's style of doing things and her thinking logic are unique. She can respond calmly and make decisions quickly when facing pressure. This trait may become the key to victory in a rapidly changing battlefield. It is like a lighthouse standing firm in the storm, guiding the army.

However, there are also disadvantages to Tan Aili taking charge.

First of all, she had no experience in leading troops. She was like a blank sheet of paper. In the complex and ever-changing battlefield situation, she might make wrong judgments due to lack of experience, leading to defeat in the battle.

Secondly, the long supply lines were a huge challenge for her. She lacked relevant response experience and might not be able to effectively coordinate the supply, which would affect the combat effectiveness of the army.

It is like a ship sailing in the vast ocean. Without stable supplies, it may lose its way at any time.

Finally, as a woman, Tan Aili may face doubts and distrust from both inside and outside the military, which will affect the unity of the army and the smoothness of command. It is like walking through thorns, with obstacles at every step.

The king thought about it and thought that if Sheldon Castle became a success, Tan Aili would definitely attack the Quick Province on her own initiative. He issued a punitive order to the princes and the benefits of expanding the territory were particularly tempting, but the time was not right and it was very difficult to deal with.

The second thing is the expedition supplies. Where can we get them now? In peacetime, we may be able to overcome difficulties and accomplish the transportation of supplies.

Now that the princes are secretly independent, it is difficult to form wartime coordination. If supplies cannot catch up, the 20,000 imperial guards will face a devastating disaster.

Therefore, once all the difficulties were brought to the fore, the conditions for an expedition were not met in any way.

Blayney: "Your Majesty, let Tan Aili lead the troops back to Shadowmoon City for 'training', fight against rebellion and lawlessness along the way, and open up a supply channel. The Empire once again firmly controls the supply line, and orders all places to prepare expedition materials to make further preparations."

An army of 20,000 certainly cannot use the teleportation array at every turn. It is too expensive to consume magic coins. It is better to let the imperial guards attack.

As a result, the king had to deal with the supply of the army, which was a complicated matter with numerous issues to deal with wherever the army went.

Logistics support, material allocation, personnel arrangements, each one is related to the success or failure of the war, and every detail is like a heavy stone, weighing on the king's heart.

Blaney tried his best to make Tan Aili the leader so that he could take credit for the army and quickly accumulate wealth and political assets.

The abacus in her mind was clattering, and her eyes were full of desire for power and wealth. She looked so greedy, like a hungry vulture, staring at its prey that was about to reach her mouth.

The king naturally misunderstood the future state master and wanted to kill someone with a borrowed knife in order to monopolize Viscount Kashin.

A woman can do anything to get what she wants. If Tan Aili dies at the hands of the enemy, Blaney will naturally get what he wants.

The king's heart was filled with suspicion and worries, and his thoughts were as complicated as intertwined silk threads.

Therefore, the thinking patterns of the emperor and his ministers were completely different at this moment, and they were all making a fuss about the Queek Province.

Both sides have their own calculations and thoughts, just like two parallel rivers flowing in different directions. Although they are both moving towards the goal, they have different directions and motivations.

The state teacher is asking for a man only. The king wants to fulfill her wish, so he can only let Tan Aili lead the battle! The emperor thinks that Blaney wants to kill someone with a borrowed knife...

Considering the 20,000 elite imperial guards who died without knowing why because of the Imperial Master’s whim?

The king was naturally reluctant to do so, but when he thought about the power that Blaney possessed, he realized that sooner or later he would be able to help him establish a new order, eliminate the kingdom's chronic diseases, and make the country prosperous and the people strong.

The king was wavering between the balance of power and the blueprint for the future, and his inner struggle was like a boat swaying in a storm.

The king was prepared to sacrifice 20,000 royal guards to fulfill Blaney's idea, so he ignored the difficulties and decided to let Tan Aili set out in the near future to attack the province of Queek.

This decision was like a huge rock thrown into a lake, stirring up a thousand waves. Borrowing a knife to kill someone is not uncommon, and those in power are all familiar with it. The king decided to help Blaney and find an opportunity to make Blaney pay for this loss...

Blainey left the imperial study with satisfaction. It was already late at night when he left the room, and he felt very happy.

Although the diplomacy failed, the king was finally persuaded to declare war on the Quick Province, and the next step was to mediate how to win.

The stars in the night sky twinkled, reflecting Blainey's expectant face.

The king misunderstood that Blaney was using a knife to kill someone for the sake of a man, which was completely wrong.

At this time, she had no such idea, she just wanted to open up the trade route so that the Kangsen family could have some room for business activities. Blainey's thoughts seemed to be hidden and unknown.

Tan Aili is in charge, she just wants to use the army to open up her family's trade routes. As for attacking the Quick Province, the magician group will join the battle, and this battle is a sure win no matter how you look at it.
