Chapter 702 - Three-Ways Battle - Part 4

Before Larry lowered his head to these people for his comrades, now he had to lower his head because of his family. If he did not cooperate with them, his family would be in trouble. This was why he was sure he had to join the war, despite their promise not to involve him in a war.

"This is quite troublesome for another Legend Rank involved in the war. That guy from the Revolution Army is enough to give us a headache, and now we have another Legend Rank to face against." Lorian rubbed his forehead. This was the worst situation for them, especially if the two forces with Legend Rank individual attacked them together. The upcoming battle looked grim for the Lionax Kingdom.

Robert Kingsley smiled despite the worsened situation. "That's why we have Headmaster Larry here. Just like the promise, he has to confront and stop Alton, or else the agreement will become invalid. If you refuse this, I can't guarantee your comrades' safety anymore, Headmaster Larry. For your information, we keep watching those people, and we can wipe them out anytime, just in case the second Alton appeared from the Fotia Legion."

Larry's face turned ugly when those things were mentioned. Robert Kingsley did bother to hide it anymore. The threat was obvious in the Right-Wing Guardian's words. He had to join the war and stop Alton.

"By that time, I can't guarantee your family's safety, Headmaster Larry. Because of the Revolution Army, people in the capital city are anxious. Who knows, some people will blame you and vent their frustration on the ex-member of the traitorous legion's family. We can't be sure about that if the news of Alton attacked our kingdom spread out." Robert Kingsley's voice did not sound threatening, but the threat was so obvious in Larry's ears.

"Hah…" Larry released out another long sigh before replying to Robert Kingsley. "I will join the war, and I will do my best to stop Alton."

"This is good." Robert Kingsley clapped his hand and smiled widely. "Since Headmaster Larry agreed to join the war. I have an excellent plan to face our enemy. What about if we split our force? The first group will stay and defend the city against the Revolution Army. The second group will take a detour and attack Gigante Forest from the back."

"How is that a plan?" Lorian, the Left-Wing Guardian, questioned that absurd plan. When they loosened their defense against the Revolution Army, how was that a good plan? Splitting the force was the same as suicide. "What if the Revolution Army suddenly attacked us with all their force? I don't think we can defend the city."

Robert Kingsley opened the map and pointed at a city. "Didn't you hear me, Lorian? I said the Gigante Forest has taken over Braum City, the food source for The Revolution Army. We just need to put enough force to defend this city from the Revolution Army. We don't fight them, but we starve them."

"There are two possibilities of what would happen if we do that. First, the Revolution Army will ask that foreign force from another world for supplies. But that supplies shall not be free, and I don't think the Revolution Army has enough resources to pay that foreign force. Or second, the Revolution Army will try to take back Braum City from Alton." When Robert Kingsley said about the second option, he had an evil smile on his face.

"Of course, the second possibility will be our significant advantage when those two forces clash. Whoever wins the fight, they will be weakened, and that's our time to make our move. We will crush the Revolution Army and the Gigante Forest's force at the same time." The Right-Wing Guardian grinned ear to ear.

"From the way you speak, you seem confident that the second possibility will happen. Even though I don't think the Revolution Army will fall for that obvious trick." The Left-Wing Guardian looked at Robert Kingsley suspiciously. "Yes, Father. I don't think the Revolution Army will fall for that." King Emerson also did not think that would happen.

"You still need to learn a lot about war, Emerson." Robert Kingsley shook his head gently when he heard that from his son. "The war is not just about how strong you are, how many soldiers you have, or your strategy in battle. There are many ways to win the war. Don't worry, I have wrapped everything, and we just need to execute our plan."

"Emerson, Headmaster Larry, Left-Wing Guardian, and Archduke Semea will lead the second force and attack Bareham City." Robert Kingsley stood up from his chair and pointed to the small city near the border of Gigante Forest. "We will recall our reserve soldiers from Dormun and Quastas, and you four will lead them to attack Bareham City."

Dormun and Quastas were two different worlds. The Lionax Kingdom sent their soldiers to those two worlds for training and established themselves in those two worlds. Now, it was time to use those soldiers for the war. "The second group will cut the Gigante Forest's force's path to retreat, and the first group will attack them from the front."

"My guess is the Gigante Forest left part of their force in these five cities to secure a route for their supply too. The second group will exterminate those forces and head toward Braum City." Robert Kingsley pointed to Braum City on the map. "This is will be the place for the final battle. And even if the second group could not destroy the Gigante Forest's force in these five cities, it would be enough if you could force them to retreat. They must regroup to the leading force in Braum City. Then this city will become their burial ground."

The Left-Wing Guardian squinted his eyes as he looked at Robert Kingsley. He was aware that Robert had not told them everything about the plan. There was something Robert hid from them, and that thing was the most crucial thing. "I suppose I just have to trust you and execute your plan, Robert?"

"That's right, my friend. You just need to trust me, and I will end this war quickly…" Robert Kingsley nodded his head with a wide smile.
