"What about the Rough Slope?"
"According to the up to date news, a range of a thousand meters around the Rough Slope has been beleaguered by the armies of the Timber Deity Empire. However, what is so uncanny is that they haven't commenced any ambush to the Rough Slope."
"What on earth is the purpose of the Timber Deity Empire?"
"If they carry on doing that, even if they don't charge the Rough Slope, the northeast army led by Commander Marin will be too weak as a lamb that can't stand the weight of its wool to hold a fight in the sparseness of army provisions and goods. "
The Commanders were all laden with an epidemic of anxiety. Their thoughts scattered like there was an electrical storm in their head, too many short-circuits to make any sense. Compared with losing the Rough Slope, the loss of the northeast army would be a fatal blow to the Crimson Dragon Army, which was now a lack of troops. The contending armies at the Rough Slope had been absolutely exterminated before, which garnered the plight of the military strength to be nitpicking. Though the headquarters had acquiesced to send reinforcements, since the Crimson Dragon Group was culpable for safeguarding the territory of the Holy Dragon Empire at the Gehenna Border as well as the towns and the cities at the border, the reinforcement which had to be dispatched from the armies stationed at the towns and the cities at the border and carried out preparation in order before they could set out should spent at least half a month in turning up at the Rough Slope. Besides, the quality of the soldiers was another dilemma, so the reinforcements could not be released for a moment.
At present, due to the extreme incursions of the Timber Deity Empire, all the fronts were short of military strength. Once soldiers were dispatched from those fronts, jeopardy would be declared. After all, thousands of soldiers were far from adequate since the Timber Deity Empire sieged the Rough Slope with twenty thousand soldiers. Thus, at least twenty thousand soldiers should be dismissed to come to the rescue of the northeast army. If not, any small number of soldiers were worthless. However, based on the prevailing condition of the Crimson Dragon Army, it wasn't competent to fix the obstacle.
A modest shift in the Crimson Dragon Army may alter the condition as a whole. This was a hard nut to crack of Isis.
"Deputy Commander in Chief, I figure out we should convey the major force in the front line to come to bail out the Rough Slope."
"That's true. The Timber Deity Empire has bitten more than it can chew. We must confer them a lesson..."
"The Timber Deity Empire has twenty thousand soldiers. If we likewise move soldiers of the same number to integrate with the northeast army at the Rough Slope, we will unquestionably attack them on the hop."
The Commanders rendered proposals one after another and called for battle duties.
"No, we can't dispatch armies now," Isis responded, swaying her head. The overall structure shouldn't be disordered to deal with the vital condition in the Rough Slope.
Upon hearing Isis' response, the Commanders all stared at each other speechless in confusion. Their faces stuck in an incredulous expression. As usual, they weren't be able to recognize the prevailing condition as Isis had done.
"Deputy Commander in Chief, why shouldn't we dispatch armies?"
"Because it is a setup." Isis uttered in a no joke tone, her eyebrows furrowed.
"A hoodwink?" The Commanders' faces darkened into a look of astonishment. Their brain desperately scrambled to make sense of it all while standing as gormless as a guppy. They hadn't expected that their enemies would have a plan A, B and even C just in case.
"Though right now I don't figure out the real motive of the Timber Deity Empire's siege of the Rough Slope, I'm sure the whole thing is a setup. So we shouldn't react hastily and blindly. It is attainable that if we tincture our armies to the Rough Slope, they grab the golden opportunity to ambush our fronts..." Isis concluded, having a wild guess about the possible situation if she came to the rescue at the Rough Slope.
"But if the twenty thousand soldiers of the Timber Deity Empire snap off an ambush to the northeast army at the Rough Slope, they would have no choice but battle against them till they all succumb. What's even worse, once the Timber Deity Empire seizes the Rough Slope, it is arduous as to grasp a shadow for us to retrieve," one of the Commanders said.
"Of course, I am aware of the essence of the Rough Slope, but I don't think we should do anything before we uncover the real motive of our enemies. Besides, in theory, if the Timber Deity Empire uses the Rough Slope as their counter to wheedled to us to exit the fronts, they won't assault it now, so we don't have to get overwrought about the safety of the northeast army for the time being..." Isis scrutinized. She was on tenterhooks than anyone about the northeast army because Marin, her cousin, was the Commander of it. She pipe dreamed that Marin would be safe as a tortoise under its shell. However, she shouldn't be hear-rendered by the whole situation of the war due to her private sentiment. Her decision was closely related to the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers of the Crimson Dragon Group, so she shouldn't be spurred of the moment or swayed by emotions.
Therefore, she had to be on guard, despite being more anxious than anyone like a cat on hot bricks.
