Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong
Chapter 1300 - Chapter 1300 Chapter 775 Dilemma_1

Chapter 1300: Chapter 775: Dilemma_1 Chapter 1300: Chapter 775: Dilemma_1 “Turn the faint glimmer into the catalyst for victory?”

Ariel Watson’s fair face was filled with urgency, her body slightly leaning forward, hurriedly asking, “My Lord, what is that?”

With Ariel’s question, the other subordinates also showed a curious expression.

“It’s simple – it’s the effort of each and every one of us.”

Leo Ray’s reply was light and breezy, yet filled with unwavering determination: “Before our massive adversary reaches our gates, we must make all preparations and strive to become stronger, making this land more impregnable.”

“In an ancient book from my hometown, there’s a quote like this: ‘The way comes from Heaven, but the effort of man. There is nothing that man does not become divine with practice.’ In simpler terms, it means human effort makes the difference.”

Leo Ray’s eyes were bright and focused, scanning each of his subordinates as he continued: “Since we can’t avoid the great battle, each of us will play an important role in determining victory or defeat. As long as we don’t fall, the banner of our territory will still fly high!”

“I’m willing to go through fire and water for my Lord!”

Having listened to Leo Ray’s words, the subordinates were already filled with enthusiasm, echoing in unison.

“Now, let’s lay out some specific countermeasures.”

Leo Ray nodded with satisfaction, first turning to Asher Porter, the commander of Galaxy City, and asked, “How much time do we have before the enemy’s 300,000-strong army arrives?”

“My Lord, the ten legions you ordered to retreat from the empty city have temporarily retreated to the nearest cities within the territory of the Great Prince and Second Prince, which are about a day’s march from here.”

Asher saluted with his hand on his chest and solemnly replied: “Meanwhile, the 20 remaining legions are not making haste on their march, but moving at a normal pace, which will take about 7 more days.”

“Not making haste and moving at a normal pace?”

Ariel’s fair face was filled with confusion, frowning in thought for a moment before suddenly realizing: “I understand now! The reason they’re doing this is to give us time to fall into chaos ourselves, right? In this way, they can undoubtedly achieve victory more easily.”

“You’re right, and your reaction was quick this time.”

Leo Ray casually patted Ariel’s head with a faint smile: “I suppose they wouldn’t expect us to resolve the grievances of the new citizens so quickly, would they?”

“It’s all thanks to my Lord’s foresight; otherwise, it would have been impossible to recover.”

Ariel obediently smiled: “Now, my two royal brothers must be fuming again.”

“Princess speaks the truth, but once the enemy realizes our situation has stabilized, they will likely increase their marching speed.”

Asher nodded thoughtfully, then bowed to Leo Ray, saying, “From this, I deduce that the actual time until they arrive at our city gates may be about 2 days ahead of schedule.”

“So we only have 5 days left? The time left for us to prepare is indeed running out.”

Leo Ray rubbed his chin, speaking to the female knight on the other end of the mind talk: “Linda, how is the situation with the returning troops?”

“My Lord, as planned, they began to set off in batches this morning.”

Linda’s crisp, resolute voice rang out: “My lord, since the knights you have conferred have also rushed to the various regions to take charge of their manors, I have arranged for the knights with the same destination to accompany the surrendered soldiers, providing enough money for the journey and equipped all of them with carriages or fast horses.”

“Linda, you did an excellent job.”

Leo Ray nodded slightly, satisfied: “Only by allowing these surrendered soldiers to return home as quickly as possible can we convert them into our forces as quickly as possible.”

With this, Leo Ray instructed: “Each region must properly receive these soldiers. They should be greeted in accordance with the military victory traditions of our kingdom. They will become our comrades in the future, fighting for us and deserving of our respect.”

“Yes, My Lord!”

The unified response from the subordinates immediately came.

“Additionally, speed up the recruitment process in every region.”

Leo Ray’s solemn voice echoed throughout the hall: “Before the enemy arrives, in addition to the various defenses we already have in place, ten new legions must be assembled with veterans as their backbone. I will provide all of them with high-quality Tier 2 Equipment. Only then, we can truly have the capital to compete with our opponents.”

At this moment, Leo Ray understood clearly.

The usable troops at his disposal were extremely limited.

Apart from the three legions stationed in Galaxy City and the soldiers directly stationed in the territory, there were only scattered forces elsewhere.

These included two independent knight orders, the Blue Cold Fortress Defense Army, the Mountain Fortress Conscription Army, the soldiers from Crystal Kingdom, and those from Cyan Town, Magnet Town, and Milan Town. Combined, these forces barely reached thirty thousand in scale.

“These forces are scattered across more than thirty cities; there’s nothing more that can be adjusted until new forces are assembled.”

“However, once everything is ready, besides the veterans joining the new legions, I’ll be able to form at least one additional legion and a mobile unit of five thousand Moon Wolf Tribe soldiers.”
