407: Chapter 48, The Importance of Luck_3 407: Chapter 48, The Importance of Luck_3 If the plan succeeds, the tide of attack and defense will be reversed.


If the Orc Army refuses to retreat, all we need to do is grind them down patiently.


What do you think is our chance of winning this battle?”
Chris the Ninth asked uncertainly.


This plan sounded very good.


If we could really manage to encircle and annihilate the Bimon Royal Court’s army, it would serve as a deterrent to other Orc armies.


The siege of Dapes City would be lifted before it could even start.


Without the participation of the Bimon Tribe, the Expeditionary Army of the other four tribes would not have an absolute advantage.


With home-field advantage, the arrival of reinforcements from the Northern nations alone could help to drive them away.


“Your Majesty, the key to this battle plan is whether we can defeat the Bimon cavalry.


The newly edited army corps of our Duchy may be able to engage with normal Orc armies at best, but will probably crumble instantly upon contact with the Bimon elite.


The main factors will be the power of our three allies.


The Orton Duchy and the Ruilin Kingdom have enjoyed years of peace; the forces they have sent may not be able to rise to the occasion.


The only army we can rely on is the Alpha Kingdom’s Expeditionary Army.


If all of them have the strength of the First Legion, implementing an encirclement plan would be easy.


But based on what we know, that’s unlikely.


The Alpha Kingdom has sent only one Elite Legion in total; the rest are ordinary troops.


Their combat capability is likely only slightly stronger than the Duchy’s general military, but not by much.


If the last five legions of the Expeditionary Army each had half the combat power of the First Legion, we would not lose this war.


Overall, the Allied Forces have an advantage in troop strength and the Bimon Cavalry is more powerful.


If a battle breaks out, it all depends on the military command situation of both parties.


In this war, the Alpha Kingdom Expeditionary Army will be the absolute main force, and our three countries will be supporting roles.


Given that Crown Prince Caesar proposed this plan at this time, he should have high confidence in it.”
Chancellor Hercheg analyzed seriously.


From the perspective of paper data, the Allied Forces have the advantage.


The only trouble is one Bimon Cavalry.


It would be very difficult to annihilate them without tenfold as many troops.


But now they don’t need to go that far.


As long as they defeat the Bimon Cavalry, the difficulty will decrease significantly.


“Your Excellency, I think your estimate may be too optimistic.


The first legion of the Expeditionary Army is just an exception.


Even among the Alpha Kingdom’s main army, their strength should rank near the top.


After acquiring a large amount of magic equipment from us, their combat power has further increased to its current level.


If the common soldiers of the Alpha Kingdom had half their strength, the war would have started with a main battle between the Alpha Kingdom and the Orc Empire.


The optimistic estimate is that the combined strength of the five legions behind the Expeditionary Army is equal to two first legions.


Of course, I personally tend to think that the strength of their five legions is only equivalent to one and a half first legions.


If commanded properly, there is indeed a possibility of defeating the incomplete Bimon legion, but this requires extremely high individual ability from the commander.


Sorry, but I don’t think Crown Prince Caesar has this level of military command ability.


If he is willing to give up command and let an experienced general take charge, he might be able to complete the battle plan.”
Martins shrugged.


As Minister of Defense, he has a wider range of information.


Precisely because he knows more, he does not support this battle plan.


The reason is simple, the difficulty of coordinating the combined operations of four nations’ armies is too great, almost an impossible task.


Sometimes allies can not only help, but they can also cause more harm.


Once coordination problems arise, being hurt by allies is almost inevitable.


Although technically it’s a joint operation of four countries, it could easily turn into one or two nations fighting a bloody battle against Bimon, while the other allies drag their feet.


This foot-dragging is not necessarily intentional.


Quite often, it is simply due to being unable to downplay their power, forcing them to drag their team down.


“To have Crown Prince Caesar give up command is unrealistic.


He is the commander of the guest army, and we simply do not have the right to interfere.


If we were to request this, it would completely offend him.


Regardless, we should recognize Prince Caesar’s combative attitude.


Until his military command ability is tested, no one can give a definitive statement.


Throughout history, there have been many renowned generals who came from the ranks of the spoiled and indulged.


Moreover, Crown Prince Caesar’s performance is better than these men were before they made their names.


Under the careful cultivation of the Royal Family of the Alpha Kingdom, Crown Prince Caesar has a solid foundation in military theory.


Even if his military talent is mediocre, as long as his theoretical foundation is solid enough to avoid major mistakes on the battlefield, it shouldn’t be a problem.


Moreover, the Alpha Kingdom has assigned him a Vice Commander with rich military command experience.


As far as I know, Count Jose not only served in the Standing Army for many years, but also participated in the formulation of the Alpha Kingdom’s strategy multiple times.


He didn’t get a chance to command his own troops due to his status.”
Reynato said with a smile.


In order to gain an edge, the Department of Foreign Affairs did a lot of research.


Every noble from the Alpha Kingdom who came over was thoroughly investigated.


Reynato was well-versed in anyone who had performed impressively.


Count Jose, who had a remarkable record, naturally fell into his radar.



One minister after another expressed their views, their opinions were surprisingly similar in terms of almost unanimous support for Crown Prince Caesar’s plan.


The ministers’ attitudes also influenced King Chris the Ninth.


“Sir Martins, do you have any other reasons for opposing launching this campaign?”
“Your Majesty, I think you’re mistaken.


I only oppose Crown Prince Caesar being in command; I do not object to launching this campaign.


From the viewpoint of the Duchy, as everyone has said, we must take a gamble now.


If we succeed, it will reverse the current state of decline since the war; if we fail, the situation won’t be too bad!


Personally, I would suggest that Earl Hudson, who has a brilliant military record, take over Caesar’s military command.


Not only for his outstanding record, but mainly for his good fortune.


A baron’s son, who in just a few short years rose to his present position, without any setbacks along the way, he is basically the embodiment of a legendary epic hero.


The Duchy needs good luck.


To entrust a battle that will decide the fate of the nation to a luck-filled, renowned officer seems to me to be the best choice.


As it happens, Earl Hudson is also a commander of the Alpha Kingdom.


If he takes over the military command of the Expeditionary Army, internal resentment might not be too bad.”
