The 5 Elemental Lord
War plan
“Welcome Kirin and Uron.” Zeno welcomed Kirin and Uron to the imperial court, followed by Turse and Selena.
It had been twenty days that Kirin and Uron carried out a very difficult task, which was to become Mare Enbarum's spy. And until the end, the two of them had returned healthy and safe. However, Zeno was worried about the two of them if caught in the terrible empire.
Over the course of twenty days, Zeno managed to raise the military for a transcontinental war. In fact, Zeno increased the fleet to a slightly larger fleet of 500 warships which previously only amounted to 145 ships. As well as the archer troops that previously numbered 150,000 now increased rapidly to 250,000 troops. Some say that 500 ships are still not enough to carry millions of troops. However, Zeno always said to take it easy because he had a crazy idea from Azure.
“Soldiers, call people now in the meeting room, finally we will discuss something very important now.” Zeno said as he carried Kirin and Uron towards a meeting room to discuss more seriously, or rather devise a strategy after the preparations regarding the imperial warrior power were very mature.
Until at the end, everyone who used to attend a meeting gathered in a closed and soundproofed room. No one could enter carelessly because of such strict guard. Since this concerned a war strategy, it was also done in secret, because what they feared was a spy.
“We'll leave tomorrow. So, I hope you prepared what I said yesterday, 900,000 horsemen should be ready on the west coast, 450 Fleet ships must also be ready to board 250,000 archers plus special forces.” Zeno started the conversation.
On the other hand, Nefd and the others were confused about Zeno's plan of 900,000 horsemen. The problem was, what soldier of nearly a million was up? Therefore, Lois as an imperial general spoke up about it, “I'm sorry the emperor. But there's a question that's always spinning around in my brain, how do I send in a horse troop? While the 450 ships seem to be full by the archer troops.”
“Turse, I once invited you to do something. And explain what I did back then to you that you consider a special gift.” Zeno glanced at Turse.
“Wait a minute sir, riding on the sea? Don't tell me those 900,000 troops will be riding over the vast ocean?” Turse was startled before he thought and spoke to continue his remark, “It seems that the crazy idea was very effective to send such troops. 900,000 troops, will ride on the sea without fear of drowning.”
“How to?” Lois was really curious about what Turse said. The problem is, riding on the sea is an idea that really can not be digested by the brain and very unreasonable.
“We have emperor.” Turse smiled faintly behind Zeno.
“Then from that, 900,000 troops will I lead directly, because if I am not with that army, then that army will also not be able to ride on the sea. And, the fleet will depart one week after the cavalry depart. Because we know, that the cavalry will certainly also need a break anyway. Don't ask we'll rest where.” Zeno scratched his head and smiled faintly.
“Let me guess, surely the emperor will rest on the ocean anyway or stop by on other continents?” Admiral Mahaa spoke up. Moreover, it seemed that he was so surprised to know that the emperor would bring an army of horsemen to cross the ocean using only horses as well.
“Emperor Danze, he hasn't quite recovered with his body wrapped in so much cloth. However, his military strength was so undeniable. The Mare Enbarum Empire, had a fleet of 400 ships with a naval force of almost 600,000 soldiers. Three million horsemen and one million more special forces.” Uron said so.
“Just on the south coast the ships were marching, but the imperial palace would be much closer as it passed from the east. However, the east coast was also protected by the imperial forces, and was also a common port.” Kirin added to what Uron had said.
“It looks like this time it will be very little heavy. And ... As the emperor said, the cavalry will depart tomorrow morning and the ship will depart one week later. Until, three weeks after the cavalry departed, it is certain that our warship has also overtaken the cavalry and our two sides will arrive simultaneously. Emperor, I hope you do not move and attack the eastern region, but attack from the south.” Admiral Mahaa gave a war strategy.
“True, the south direction is where the fleet of ships and it is very difficult to attack it. But take it easy, at that time, our fleet of ships will destroy the fleet first. The troops you lead will focus on attacking the imperial palace.” Reciprocity.
“What if one-third of the troops will attack from the south and I will lead it.” General Lois spoke up. “Let two-thirds of the troops will turn to attack the eastern region first and it will be led by the emperor directly. That means, I will also join the cavalry following the emperor.”
“If it is a matter of land, I hand it over to you general Lois. And I also have no problem with what you say. When the enemy's fleet is destroyed, the archers will descend and take control of one of the highest mountains. Hey you guys know, I was really inspired by the emperor's plan back then.” The admiral looked joking after he said so seriously.
“Don't say admiral Mahaa wants archers to shoot from the top of the mountain to help the invading forces from the east or south? Alright, I don't mind either.” Zeno says.
“Emperor is right, but the archers will not protect the troops from the south. Because one-third of the troops from the south that precisely protect the archers from the attack of enemy troops.” General Lois confirmed what Zeno said.
“That's lucky, the southern part of Mare Enbarum is a slightly large mountain. Unfortunately, the aura there was like a grave. I hope Miss Turse doesn't bother her much.” Kirin said.
Zeno nodded, he sighed as he was about to experience a war of the umpteenth time. And this was the first thing he fought in becoming an emperor. Because, if he loses, then this all carries not only his own life, but also the one great empire that he leads.
“I hope that in this war, none of you will die. Especially you, Turse!"
