Weakest Beast Tamer Gets All SSS Dragons novel Chapter 1291

Chapter 1291: Chapter 1291 - Taming the Old World - Compulsory Reaction - 2

"If I were sitting in her chair, I would have pulled the entire swarm back and let the numbers compound for three to four days straight. I would have waited until five hundred turned into two thousand, no, four thousand, before making a single move toward the capital. Had she done that, she could have marched on the Light Dragons with a force that nothing on this continent could hope to stall."

Ren slowly shook his head... "But instead, she is furious about yesterday. She is reacting out of spite rather than looking at the math, and that impatience is going to cost her the war again."

Even as he said it, Ren added a quiet mental footnote.

Now that he knew she possessed the ability to double her ranks, ,and this time after only sixteen hours, he never would have given her four days of peace anyway.

He would have mobilized the Vanguard to strike the Light Mountains as soon as humanly possible to cut the problem off at the root. In a roundabout way, Selthia’s hotheaded rush to attack today aligned with the exact timeline prudence would have forced upon him.

Still, he could not get over how poorly she had played her hand.

She did not even need four days to tilt the board... If she had simply held her temper for one more cycle, letting her force swell closer to a thousand strong while waiting for the exhausted humans to engage the Light Guardian first, she could have caught them on the back foot with twice the firepower and likely some time to spare.

All she had to do was sit still, let her furnaces burn, and wait for Ren to make the first move.

She had chosen the opposite path...

Frankly, Ren was grateful for the mistake. If humanity’s greatest threat insisted on throwing blind punches out of anger instead of quietly building a checkmate in the dark, he was not going to complain. It handed the Vanguard a workable window to win all, even if they had to march out of the gates at seventy percent capacity.

A patient Selthia, was an extinction-level problem.

An angry Selthia, was just another battle to win...

Ren turned away from the map to face the three mesmerizing women standing beside him.

"We are going to have to tap into the dragon energy from the vault a bit heavier than we planned," Ren told them, keeping his voice level. "I am sorry... I know what I promised you, and I know the risks we are taking with our bodies. Right now, though, we do not have the luxury of choice. If Selthia is marching now, we fight now, and going into a three-front war at only seventy percent is a no go, which means we need the extra fuel to bridge the gap."

He looked from Luna to Larissa, and finally to Liora, gauging their responses.

"There is a silver lining to our current state, at least," Ren continued, unpacking the internal mechanics of what he was proposing.
