"What is Charles doing now?"

This is the first question that the Demon King of the Two Planets asks every day after going to work.

In Abyss City, sitting in front of Nicholas II is the Navy's purple cabbage, and now he is in charge of docking with Charles.

On that planet some light-years away, the Demon King Giska was listening to a report on Charles' recent developments.

Lexa said according to the document: "At present, we have found that the empty island captured by Charles in Tremberg is hovering to the west of Zlin. At present, a team of about 20,000 people is arming and training near the empty island. Its source is nearby. The young men and some local armed forces used equipment taken from Tremberg."

The Demon King looked at Zlin's position on the map and nodded lightly, and said thoughtfully: "Targeting Zlin is a good move. After they capture this place, they can rely on the mountain for defense, which is the next step for the Alliance Army. Fight as long as possible."

"And Zlin is located in the northernmost part of this area. In addition to the 10,000 garrison in Zlin, the 80,000 garrison can also dispatch 30,000 mobile troops to relieve the siege. Because these 30,000 troops are distributed in different places, the time they arrive at the battlefield is different. It is very likely that it will become a situation of being killed in batches, which is beneficial to them, if they cooperate with Charles to poison, 20,000 farmers and some private soldiers will be enough."

Prime Minister Mato said worriedly: "Your Majesty, I am worried that they will wait until it snows in winter."

"No." Demon King Giska shook his head. "Their materials and morale are not enough to support this motley army until that time."

"Such an army can only form short-term combat effectiveness by relying on material support that exceeds the average level. It is estimated that when attacking Zlin, Charles will need to poison the defenders first, otherwise 20,000 people will not be able to conquer the area where 10,000 people are stationed."

"Since Charles wants to capture the troops that attract our rescue, then we will let him."

"It was ordered that, because of the attack on Tremberg and the shortage of supplies, the Allied forces will not have large-scale offensive operations in the cold winter, and each of Dorning, Herborg and Zlín will send half of the defenders to Tremberg, and at the same time. Checkpoints and fortresses in various places abandoned their original positions and moved closer to Tremberg, receiving new supplies and guarding warehouses nearby.”

Three days later, on an empty island 60 kilometers west of Zlin, allied generals such as Charles and Marshal Carlisle were studying the sand table.

As the scout commander, General Daxiu reported the movements of the Demon King's army over the past two days to everyone one by one.

Marshal Carlisle said to Charles with some worry: "Although you have succeeded in attacking Tremberg before, the enemy has also retracted the defense after making up for the problem according to your judgment, and the front-line troops have been reduced by half."

"But the enemy's new batch of supplies has arrived, and the supplies will return to the previous standard in the next three days, which will cause the enemy reinforcements that had arrived scattered to form a heavy army group to attack Zlin."

"At that time, you could only lead the 20,000 barely trained recruits to resist the siege of 30,000 to 40,000 experienced elite soldiers. I wonder if you can support us to close the mountain passage."

Charles looked at the sand table and did not immediately answer the Marshal's words.

Previously, the military thought he was going to conquer one or two villages. As for swallowing up the entire region and founding a country, everyone thought he was drawing a big cake. Even the spies didn't pass the news back.

After Charles and Artoria's students attacked Tremberg and took back an empty island, the Alliance Army still did not believe that he could establish a country, but they still believed in capturing places like Zlin and holding on.

Yi Jianguo didn't care about the other party's distrust. After all, there were still many things they didn't know. For example, the divine committee just passed his proposal not long ago.

He asked the marshal: "When will the Union Army be ready to strike?"

Carlisle said: "50,000 troops have been deployed, but the supplies are still insufficient. It will take three days to gather them, and five days to attack."

Yi Jianguo pondered for a long time, then pointed at the sand table with a wooden stick and said, "The first heavy snowfall this winter will fall in twenty days, and this snowstorm will last for fifteen days. By then, the ground will not be able to snow on a large scale until the spring. March, so the battle will be over in fifteen days."

"My first step is to capture the other six enemy islands in this area, remove the air threat, and gain air dominance."

"The second step is to block the mountain road while capturing the empty island, and besiege the three roads hidden inside with a total of 90,000 enemy troops. I will try my best to catch them alive."

"In the third step, my ground forces will simultaneously launch an attack on the four places of Donin, Herborg, Zlin and Trenborg, and capture them."

"At this time, the alliance army should be ready, you will clean up this area, those villages and everything are yours."

"Finally, it's our trading session. We will exchange prisoners for the population as agreed in advance. I need the population on my territory to be in place in the spring."

Then Yi Jianguo found that Marshal Carlisle and the other generals were looking at him with a foolish look.

It's not surprising for them to think so, after all, there is only a 20,000 rookie-like army in the hands of someone.

"Oh!" Carlisle suddenly realized, "I understand, this is fake news released."

"Cough cough..." Then General Daxiu coughed twice, "Are the 90,000 enemy troops lurking in this mountain... a little too much? I'm afraid we won't be able to gather so many by then."

There is often such a thing as water injection in the military. For example, if there are two hundred enemies in a certain place, it is said that there are four or five hundred. When they are eliminated, it is counted as eliminating two or three hundred.

At this time, it is not surprising that there are enemies in the mountains. After Tremberg's supplies were robbed, many convoys rushed to deliver the supplies before the snow fell, but these convoys and escorts were not enough for 90,000 yuan, more than 10,000 yuan. To falsely report up to 30,000.

Yi Jianguo didn't say much. He used a stick to point at three places in the mountains north and east of Tremberg, and said, "According to our reconnaissance, there are 30,000 Demon King troops lurking in the valleys of these three passages. It is an army directly under the Demon King led by the Four Heavenly Kings, and currently the three Heavenly Kings, Nader, Gorian, and Vor'salo, are leading the team in person."

"According to our judgment, their mission is to attack from the rear to divide and surround our army after the Allied army crossed the river and entered near Tremberg, and then wiped out my living strength."

After he finished speaking, the other generals, including Marshal Carlisle, all turned black. If the Demon King’s army was really arranged like this, let alone 90,000 people, even 10,000 people in one place would be enough to break into the Union Army near Trenberg and prepare to block the mountain road. To be severely damaged or even destroyed.

After thinking for a while, Marshal Carlisle ordered Daxiu: "You immediately send scouts to focus on these three places, and report back immediately if there is any abnormality!"

Then he said to Yi Jianguo: "If the Demon King's army really has a large army lurking there, it means that our previous plan has been leaked, and we must change our action plan."

"Well, let's change the action to capture the Zlin area with your 20,000 people and our 50,000 people in a short period of time when the snow starts to fall, and prepare for defense, so that even if the enemy troops come to help, they will be blocked by the heavy snow. There's no way to launch a massive attack in the snow."

Looking at Marshal Carlisle with a serious face, Yi Jianguo looked bewildered. He was surprised: "What did you say? Weren't those spies under your control?!"

"The plan I said at the beginning was to let those spies pass it back to mislead the Demon King. I thought you and I had a tacit understanding."

"I'm ready here, I'll do it this evening."

Carlisle blinked, then jumped up and shouted, "Spy? Who's a spy?!"

Yi Jianguo frowned, and then said: "You give me the authorization to catch spies in the Alliance Army, don't worry, I won't arrest people indiscriminately~lightnovelpub.net~ It's not good for me."

Marshal Carlisle also thought about it. He had nothing to do with the army, no one had offended him, and there was no reason to take the opportunity to suppress him, so he immediately wrote a letter of authorization and handed it over to Yi Jianguo, and called another one who looked somewhat similar to him. The young squire officer, and then said: "He is my distant nephew, trustworthy, and familiar with the various units. I sent him to assist you in arresting spies in the army."

Everyone present knew that the "distant nephew" was just an excuse. This young man was the illegitimate son of the marshal.

Yi Jianguo handed the power of attorney to Artoria, who had been behind him, and said, "You are responsible for this matter. Is there enough time to implement the sixth plan?"

Now it's time for lunch, there are still a few hours before dusk, and Artoria is scheduled to go over to meet a king.

Arturia put away the power of attorney and said, "If it's too late, don't delay the next action."

After she finished speaking, she suddenly punched and knocked out Marshal Carlisle's "distant nephew".
