Pioneer Lord: Starting From Daily Intelligence

Chapter 365: Chapter 160: Patrolling the Town and the Strip Club

At the summons of Su Li, Marshal Oerstein quickly arrived before Su Li with a stack of maps and battle plans.

He was already quite surprised not to be conversing in the conference room, and upon seeing Philis there as well, he felt even stranger about the situation.

According to his knowledge, this noblewoman was rarely seen and involved in territorial affairs due to her humble origins.

But Su Li is the Lord, and as long as Su Li is willing, it doesn’t matter if it’s in the dining room, even if it’s in the garden or by the fishing pond, he would have to continue reporting.

Thus, he decisively saluted before speaking, ”Lord, I have fully refined the plans for Operation ’Fierce Dragon’s Fang.’ Please review them.”

Su Li eagerly took the battle plan from his hands; the territory was once again ahead of the daily intelligence system!

This means that even without the assistance of the daily intelligence system, Su Li possesses the means to fight against the Green Dragon.

The intelligence received today just reassures Su Li about this battle plan.

Besides, frankly speaking, in this war against the Green Dragon Followers, the assistance from the daily intelligence system to Su Li has been minimal, as the system focuses more on strategy, on how to swiftly strengthen oneself while countering the Green Dragon.

The strategic planning and tactical choices in countering the Green Dragon were all developed by Su Li and the Knights themselves.

This codename ”Fierce Dragon’s Fang” plan was introduced by Oerstein as soon as the intelligence appeared; the intelligence system merely affirmed the success rate of this battle plan.

Upon opening the map, Oerstein detailed, ”Lord, please look, to avoid our cavalry legion’s slaughter, the Green Dragon has planned dozens of routes of advance. This pack warfare is very effective. Our cavalry legion’s combat and mobility capabilities have a daily limit, even if we divide the troops to attack and defeat them piecemeal, we can only eliminate four or five monster paths in total.”

”This means a large number of reconnaissance units bypassed our ambush and infiltrated our territory. Based on their reconnaissance situation, it’s estimated that they’ve almost thoroughly explored the layout of the territory.”

”We must disrupt the monster’s deployment with a sharp and rapid offensive, causing the Green Dragon to feel overwhelmed and that their forces are being defeated everywhere.”

Su Li nodded slightly, understanding Oerstein’s strategic intent, which is to make the Green Dragon believe the frontline has already crumbled. The so-called defeat like a landslide, with defeats all around, would make anyone feel the situation is already chaotic, forcing them to retreat to a certain defensive line to regroup scattered troops and stabilize the situation.

This certain defensive line could be a natural barrier or a specific legion.

Oerstein stepped forward, enthusiastically pointing to the green area between the Black Water River and the Brionne River on the map, saying, ”Here is the monster reconnaissance main force; practically all monster reconnaissance intelligence and swarming troop assembly are occurring here, accounting for two legions. Perhaps they were careless or intended to lure us into an ambush, but undoubtedly, according to the intelligence, they’ve overstepped, separating too far from the main forces and escort units.”

”Therefore, we named this operation ’Fierce Dragon’s Fang,’ intending to snatch a fang right under the Green Dragon’s nose, deploying our most elite cavalry legion to launch the swiftest assault and shatter one of its sharpest claws.”

Su Li nodded and resolutely declared, ”I support your operation; even if the Green Dragon has ambushers, we would still have time to withdraw safely before their ambushers arrive. The monster legion’s night raid failure incurred grave losses, with many elite centaur beasts killed, depleting their mobile units completely. The remaining tree demons might be tough-skinned and formidable in close combat, but their support speed is inevitably relatively slow. This time, snatching the fang will certainly be a great success.”

Snatching the fang means shattering the enemy’s legion despite their preparations, further breaking their morale.

Receiving Su Li’s support, Oerstein immediately revived his spirits, collected the battle plan, and said, ”For this battle, we will deploy all elite cavalry legions, delivering a rapid strike to the monster on the vast plains east of Jorn Shallow Bay.”

”The Corona Knight Order and Red Night Knight Order have both approved this plan; they will deploy all their main forces, accompanying us on this expedition.”

Coordinating so many knight orders and troops for an attack is no easy task, requiring at least a day’s mobilization and preparation.

After discussing the plan for Operation ’Fierce Dragon’s Fang,’ Su Li turned to Knight Oerstein, solemnly saying, ”The plan for ’Fierce Dragon’s Fang’ has been set; the remaining tasks can be handled by lower-ranking officers. I have another crucial battle to discuss with you.”

Oerstein, gathering the battle plan, paused—what battle was there that his lordship’s marshal wasn’t aware of yet had to be involved?

But he quickly realized, rolling up the battle plan and standing erect as he asked, ”Lord, is it the rat-man assassin coming?”

Su Li nodded; this assassination targets the lord’s noblewoman.

Principally, Oerstein is the commander-in-chief of the territorial army, not Su Li’s private army, making it unnecessary to inquire about this matter. This should be resolved by Hilude leading the high-level attendants.
