Chapter 261 No Need to Be so Troublesome

"Our battle with the Porte Bandits will not last too long. In my estimation, it will take at most three or four days, and at most one day."

Corian expressed his opinion.

"Your plans are indeed good, but if the war ends quickly, digging drainage ditches and making simple toilets will be a complete waste of time and soldiers' energy."

Ronin understood what the other party meant, and it was nothing more than rushing forward with his men and horses to do it directly.

While motioning Philip and Thorstein, the two deputy commanders, to take a look at the content on the paper, he asked, "Baron Corian, you just said that the outcome can be decided within one day. I wonder if we will win or lose?"

"Of course we will win!"

Corian said without a doubt: "We have gathered so many troops now, how can the Port Thieves Group fight against us?"

"So my suggestion is to rest today and tomorrow, and attack them the day after tomorrow to take down Chishan Town in one fell swoop!"

Ronin really wanted to ask what to do if the other party failed, but considering his status as a commander, it seemed inappropriate to say defeat before the battle started, so he did not ask.

"I really want to hear why the Baron is so confident? Also, we are not clear about the current strength of the Port Thieves Group, so I have to trouble you to introduce it to everyone."

"My confidence comes from the gap in strength between the enemy and us!"

Corian's tone was very firm, which showed that he had enough trust in his own side.

"Amycus, the leader of the Port Thieves, is a golden knight. He may be a little stronger than Sir Toru, but as long as I cooperate with Toru, it will not be a problem to deal with him."

"In addition to Amycus, there are only two silver-level ones left in the Port Thieves, one is their deputy leader Holden, and the other is the capable general Gilbart."

Corian's eyes swept over several silver knights in the hall.

"And we have Marvin, Philip, Thorstein, Taren and my subordinate Briso, a total of five, and they are all well-known silver knights. It is enough to deal with Holden and Gilbart!"

After he said this, the eyes of the people in the hall lit up.

"The Baron is right!"

Brisso echoed: "Our current high-end combat power completely exceeds that of the other side, and there is no problem in defeating the enemy head-on!"

"Yes~"

"Yes~"

Many people nodded secretly.

"What do you think?" Roning looked at Marvin and Toru.

As the deputy commanders, he wanted to hear their opinions.

Viscount Marvin thought and said, "If the situation is really as Corrin said, we can indeed attack directly from the front if we have a great advantage."

Toru added a little opinion: "As far as I know, the fortifications of Chishan Town are basically arranged in the south to resist the enemies coming from Kasir Town. There are basically no fortifications in the north."

Chishan Town was previously under the jurisdiction of Corrin, and its north is the Stone Territory, so there is naturally no need to set up any fortifications.

"After the Polante Bandits took control of Chishan Town, they did not have time to set up any fortifications in the north. If we attack head-on, we have an advantage in personnel and no disadvantage in terrain."

Marvin continued, "I think we can follow Ronin's method to organize and form the noble coalition forces, which is conducive to battlefield command; in terms of logistics, we can simply deal with it. As for the time of attack, we need to make another agreement."

It can be seen that in terms of attack, they are more in favor of a direct frontal assault.

In fact, if there is enough high-end combat power and a lot of middle combat power, Ronin is willing to attack head-on, and the sooner the battle is resolved, the better.

But is this war really that easy?

"Corian, let me ask you, how much do you know about the enemy's combat power loss in the battle that night when Chishan Town was captured?"

Corian was stunned for a moment, his expression was slightly hesitant, and after a while he shook his head.

"That night, the team I led had not yet arrived at Chishan Town, and the battle was over. I don't know much about the enemy's casualties."

Ronin immediately said: "As far as I know, in addition to Deputy Captain Hahn, there are two bronze knights in the five knight squads stationed in Chishan Town. One of them is at the peak of the bronze level and has half a foot in the silver level."

Corian's face suddenly looked a little ugly, perhaps because he felt that Ronin was going to hold him accountable in public, which made him lose face.

"These three of them lead five knight squads, with more than 60 professional knights. With the terrain advantage and defensive fortifications of Chishan Town, even if the enemy has a golden knight, it is impossible to be defeated so badly!"

Everyone's heart trembled.

They just followed Corian's thoughts to compare the difference in strength and strength between the enemy and us, but forgot that the five knight squads of the Fifth Knights stationed in Chishan Town were defeated.

Deputy Captain Haen is not bad.

"It's a bit strange."

Marvin's expression became solemn, "The other side can defeat Haen and his team so quickly, there should be more than these three top professional knights. Corian, your information is wrong, right?"

"Impossible!"

Corian refuted firmly, "Although we have been hostile to the Polante Thieves Group over the years, we have also had trade exchanges in peacetime, and we know their combat effectiveness very well!"

"According to the soldiers who were lucky enough to escape, Hahn was defeated because he drank too much at night and neglected defense. When the enemy crossed the line of defense and rushed in, they reacted, but it was too late."

"How credible are the words of the escaped soldiers?"

Ronin spread his hands, "But your statement is indeed one of the possibilities, but there is another possibility."

He paused, and seeing that everyone was listening quietly, he continued:

"That is, the Polish Thieves Group hid their strength, or there were stronger professional knights joining recently, and Hahn and his team were no match at all."

"There is such a possibility."

Everyone nodded.

"If the intelligence is incomplete, we do need to be more cautious."

As Ronin's hypothetical point of view was thrown out, the next discussion shifted to "What if the enemy hides its strength?"

Although no good solution was determined after a long discussion, Ronin's arrangement had to be implemented.

Because everyone knew that it was unlikely that the battle would be resolved in one or two days as Corin said.

After another round of discussion, a temporary plan was finally determined:

Marvin, Toru, and Redar were responsible for the reorganization of the coalition forces;

Taren and McKen were responsible for the defense and security of the camp;

Philip and Thorstein, the two deputy commanders, led the cavalry to patrol and investigate the periphery;

The Stone Territory was responsible for logistics.

The fact that Ronin's measures were able to reach a consensus and start to be implemented so quickly was mainly due to Toru, Marvin and others always standing on his side.

This was also due to Rulans' arrangement.

If Negan had also come to the Stone Territory, I'm afraid there would be a dispute over who had more say.

The bustling Stone Castle finally quieted down, and Corian sat on the chair with a frown and did not leave.

"Brisso, do you think Ronin doubted me?"

His subordinate, Brisso, also looked solemn, "I'm not sure, but in several conversations, he did make everyone subconsciously exclude your suggestions."

At the beginning of the meeting, Corian's words could still resonate with many people.

But after Ronin's hypothesis was put forward, his words were no longer as effective as before.

Even in the final division of tasks, when Corinne took the initiative to take on the outer security and reconnaissance work, he was rejected by Ronin.

The reason was that the Stone Territory had a lot of logistics work to do, and it was more appropriate for them to be responsible for logistics.

Corinne let out a long breath, digesting the unpleasantness of the meeting, "I take back my previous opinion, this Ronin is really good at doing things, no wonder he regained the favor of the Marquis."

Brisso smiled and said, "Then this proves the necessity of our action even more!"

"Yes, it is very necessary..." (End of this chapter)
