Capítulo 564: 31 Scenes Expansion (12) (2nd Update)
Finally resolving the urgent matters on his end, Sir Min Tai naturally needed to return to the army to command his subordinates.
However, only at such tis did he feel a tinge of relief: Thank heavens it was just fighting a ragtag group. If it had been a battle between two organized armies, he truly wouldn’t have been able to spare the ti to discipline his unruly son.
Different people have different thoughts, and just as Sir Min Tai turned around, the servants and confidants around the young man gathered towards him. Sensing that the master’s thunderous anger wasn’t directed at them, they couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief, but still, with the unique curiosity of people their age, they quietly asked, “Young master, are we going to war?”
The young man nodded, smiling nonchalantly, “Of course, but it’s just a bunch of rabble. Could they be more formidable than mountain people and natives? Rember, our true enemies in the future might be the real elites of this kingdom. As for these rabble, let them be the first stepping stone on our path forward—”
“But from what the Lord says, the other side seems quite formidable!”
“Rest assured, no matter how remarkable a civilian is, their experience is limited,” the young man snorted, “Moreover, do you think I don’t understand father’s intentions? He’s just stalling for ti, as if I wouldn’t notice? He says they are formidable, but they might not truly be. But that’s okay; once I corner father completely, let’s see how he responds then!”
He watched Sir Min Tai’s figure gradually disappear into the forest, and couldn’t help but chuckle cunningly.
…
The light inside the room beca a bit brighter.
But the sounds of dispute outside the window grew louder. Brand frowned, finally standing up and circling the walnut wood desk, heading to the blinds to see what was happening in the courtyard below.
Through the white slats, he quickly saw Master Craftsman Bai Lu, Antitina, and his three Great Commanders arguing about sothing, while the Silver Elf Princess stood to the side seemingly trying to diate. Further away, Qian leaned against a black pine tree with her war-hamr, biting a blade of grass and seemingly uninterested in the commotion.
“What’s going on?”
Brand couldn’t understand why these people started arguing. After hesitating for a mont, he decided to go down and see for himself. After all, it wouldn’t be good if his core mbers were quarreling.
But just as he opened the door, a shadow ca crashing into him. If Brand hadn’t reacted quickly, they might have collided head-on. He backed up a step to see it was Furlo, and the Wild Elf Girl also took a step back, “My lord!” She composed herself and then handed him a piece of paper—
“What is it?” Brand was taken aback, wondering why so much was happening today. He accepted the paper while closing the door behind him and glanced at it before exclaiming, “Samuel has deployed his troops and already crossed Gers Ferry?”
The Samuel he ntioned naturally referred to Sir Min Tai.
Even before the battle with the Cave Dwellers, the scout rcenaries were already spread along the Gers River. After recapturing the logging camp, more eyes were placed between Fir City and Gers Ferry, so Sir Min Tai’s crossing of the Gers River was reported instantly.
Fulro followed a step behind him, nodding, “Yes, my lord.”
“Shouldn’t we have started mobilizing from yesterday? This is much earlier than Char predicted. This man is quite sothing—” Brand couldn’t help but sigh.
Among all his reliable people, the most familiar with the current Erune nobles and the art of war was Char. According to this young wizard’s judgnt, it was impossible for Sir Min Tai to move so early, as the rules among the Erune nobles wouldn’t typically allow such actions.
Of course, except for an outsider like Brand who knew nothing—
Not early, then it should be late. Given the indecisive and cowardly nature of most Erune nobles, Char estimated Sir Min Tai would move his troops two days later. But now, it seed this Sir’s capabilities might be above the average level of the lower Erune nobles.
“How many n roughly?” Brand asked again.
