Chapter 414 Discussing the timing with Blaney

After Kashin received the reward, he came to Blainey's room again. As soon as he entered the room, he couldn't wait to communicate with Blainey. After a brief conversation, Blainey smiled and said:

"Look, beheading the commander-in-chief is already a great achievement, there is no need to say more, the viscount's fiefdom is not much..." Blaney's face was filled with smiles, happy for Kashin.

"Come on, dear, lead the magicians back to the Magic Island. I'm worried about Tan Aili. She is escorting the armed merchant group back. Let's see how to take a shortcut and catch up with them..." Kashen frowned slightly, with a trace of worry in his eyes.

"The logistical support arranged by the Fox Fairy is impeccable, helping the 400 fighters maintain their combat effectiveness. Although they did not participate in the battle, they still relied on the strong physical strength of the frontline fighters to chase the enemy. It's really good. Let the magician stay for another day, and I will go to the Red Maple Fortress later..." Blayney said in an orderly manner.

"What? You're not leaving? What's going on in Red Maple Fortress?" Kashin's eyes widened in surprise, and his voice unconsciously rose a few degrees.

"His Majesty said that the mountain army is the king there, and magicians are useless... I want to see if I can get some military merit! There's nothing to do back at Magic Island.

His Majesty's reward is substantial, and the combat unit members are very satisfied, so they are all willing to continue fighting. Besides, my pocket watch is still completing the order, which will take at least one more month.

So find them some fighter planes, don’t worry dear, I’m not allowed to fight in the war, I’m considered a civilian…” Blaney explained patiently, his tone firm.

Kashin thought for a moment and said, "Mountain warfare requires agility, and they are really not used to it. Dear, listen to my advice and don't go! Find them missions in other countries. The Pumasai resistance organization has not been established, so it is useless!" Kashin looked serious and tried to persuade Blaney to change direction.

"No, for now, I'm only doing the Pumasai mission. The family business can't be put on hold indefinitely, and I don't have the heart to work for other countries."

"My dear, we have dealt with them piecemeal, and countless church armed forces have died in our hands. The church armed forces in Shadowmoon City, Phoenix County, and Ankola City have suffered heavy losses. As expected, they are large sects that account for 80% of the country, but we have not seen any signs of decline from them. I always feel that the church armed forces are unfathomable."

"My dear, according to the battle report, we have won a great victory in this battle! Look at these shocking data, we have successfully killed a large number of foreigners. However, how can such a large-scale killing not cause serious damage to the enemy?

You know, the church armed forces absolutely cannot afford the blow of failure.

After all, the gods they believed in would never allow their followers to suffer defeat and shed blood. Once this happened, it meant that even the Lord had abandoned them and would no longer bless them.

Therefore, this is the biggest weakness of the church’s armed forces—God cannot bleed…”

"Hahahaha, you hit the nail on the head! Those so-called beliefs built of lies will eventually crumble and collapse completely under the impact of reality.

Hahahaha, I still remember that there were many dark-skinned, tall, and fiery-haired foreign warriors on the battlefield. You are right. If what you said is true, doesn't it mean that the Quick Province is now exhausted of its military strength?"

"Of course! Think about it, how many soldiers can a small province like Kuik have at its disposal? We can assert that as long as we can destroy most of the 100,000-strong army of the church, and use the nation's mercenaries to chase and intercept them, they will not be able to escape.

Then it won’t be long before the Province of Queek will be in a desperate situation due to lack of military forces.

By then, they will be not far from extinction! Therefore, we must not give them any chance to breathe, we must seize the opportunity and launch a general attack to take them down in one fell swoop!"

Plans cannot keep up with changes. If the elite troops of the Quick Province cannot return, the enemy will face a catastrophe. So this discussion made Blaney realize instantly...

Bryony thought for a moment and said, "My dear, I have decided to bring the magicians to participate in the battle in the province of Queke!" Her eyes revealed determination and resoluteness.

Kashin raised his eyebrows and shrugged: "There are too few people. Magicians are not suitable for regular positional warfare. They can only serve as medium-range firepower auxiliary. They are deterrent to the enemy. They are most afraid of the enemy's sharpshooting, so it is very dangerous if there are too many enemies.

Unless it is absolutely necessary, magicians should not participate in human wave tactics, because no one will protect you then…” Kashin’s expression was solemn, he was well aware of the risks involved.

Kashin felt that it would be best if each magician had ten knight-level heavy infantrymen to protect them. Their movement speed was very poor, and if the magician could not play to his advantage, he would basically have little killing power...

But Blainey is different. She wants to gain military merits by relying on Tan Aili's troops. She needs the political background of a national master and must make unprecedented contributions.

Of course, Blainey would not let the magician fight alone. This achievement was all thanks to the three hundred royal guards who were willing to sacrifice their lives. Of course, they were aware of the shortcomings of the magician group.

Then he mentioned that Tan Aili was going to Beijing to take charge, which made Kashin, who had just learned the top-secret information, very worried...

“No, Tan Aili has never led an army. There were too many coincidences in this battle, and it cannot be attributed to Tan Aili’s ability to lead troops. If there were no large family caravan armed, if there were no rich river, and if there were no alchemist who happened to be in the territory to help, there would not be much result.

No, I want to see His Majesty to decline on behalf of my wife, she has no experience leading troops in battles." Kashin excitedly expounded his views, the veins on his forehead bulged slightly.

Blaney laughed loudly: "Hahaha, the commander-in-chief does not really need to be proficient in leading troops and fighting experience. Your Majesty must be well aware of this. The deputies assigned to her are all proficient in leading troops, and the soldiers of the imperial guards are all strictly trained. There is no need to worry.

A commander! Just be able to lead these people to victory. After the battle of Sheld, the reputation of the foxy fairy rose day by day. As a civilian, she just suppressed the nobles in the army and prevented them from becoming powerful through military achievements. Her command has nothing to do with the military…”. Bryony’s laughter was full of confidence and a clear judgment of the situation.

His Majesty's considerations were extremely complicated, and Kashen could not understand them. One thing was clear, Blainey wanted to rely on Tan Aili to attack the Queek Province to earn military merit.

Changes in the situation during war are often unexpected, and generals need to make decisions quickly to respond. Good commanders are all geniuses, and war academies cannot cultivate them. This kind of thing cannot be cultivated through education.

In the political landscape, the balance of power in the military has always been an issue that rulers need to handle with caution. Your Majesty is trying to reduce the power of the feudal lords, so Tan Aili's reputation is just right. This battle is to find a way to weaken the nobles, and it would be best if both they and the church suffered losses - this is the mind of the emperor.

The country was in a mess at the moment, and Blaney turned his attention to the border. That was because the elite troops of the Quick Province had been wiped out in this battle, and now they were more empty than anyone else, so the opportunity was rare.

In terms of achievements, expanding territory is the greatest achievement since ancient times.

Blainey's decision was undoubtedly a risky attempt to seek a breakthrough in a complex situation, but it also demonstrated her ambition and decisiveness.
