Chapter 24 Sun King (6)

"Disappeared???"

Tessomox stood up in shock. Before his foot injury was healed, he immediately fell to the ground again at this time. The excessively violent movement hurt him. Even so, he still stared at the Aztlan soldier who was running over:

"It would be awful if you run to the Sun King. Help me up quickly and I'll stop him!"

Ella stopped Tessosomok.

"You are so seriously injured, don't go. I'll stop him." Ella said, "My intimidation should be more effective than you who are injured."

Having said that, Ella and Tessomok knew in their hearts that if the lord of the Warkostipek really wanted to leak the information, he would have probably seen the Sun King long ago when the Aztlan soldier came back to report the news. With this anxiety, Ella hurriedly walked towards the Sun King's camp.

No trace of the Lord of Warkostipek was found along the way, which made Ella's anxiety deeper and her steps faster. However, after getting close to the Sun King's camp, Ella's steps slowed down again - if the Lord of Warkostipek really had seen the Sun King, then even if he went in, he would not do much; if the Lord of Warkostipek did not come to see the Sun King, then going in like this would make the Sun King suspicious.

She took a breath and stabilized her emotions. Then, she pretended that nothing happened and asked the Aztlan guards guarding in front of the Sun King camp: "Have anyone been in just now?"

"Who are you looking for?"

The sudden sound of the Sun King scared Ella jumped up from the ground. When she turned her head, she saw Mokutsoma walking from the other side of the camp with a calm face.

In front of the petite Ella, his burly body was like a grizzly bear standing upright and ready to pounce on his prey.

"Who are you looking for?"

The Sun King asked again in a calm voice, and there was an invisible pressure in his words.

"I'm...no...I haven't..."

Even Ella, in this sudden situation, didn't know how to smooth things out.

"I guess, are you looking for the lord of Warkostipek; or, is the lord of Kaunawark?"

The third sentence of the Sun King shocked Ella. She subconsciously took a step back - this was because of her courage. If it were someone else, the Sun King's words would be scared to even pee. Regardless of whether the lord of the Vakostipek state had seen the Sun King, the man standing in front of her was much more difficult to deal with than she expected.

Seeing Ella's obvious fear reaction, the Sun King's expression did not fluctuate significantly.

"I've said it a long time ago, I hate being disturbed during rest. But I like smart people. If the missing person is a smart person, then maybe I can send someone to find you - is he a smart person?"

Ella began to feel her throat dry. She had never been like she was now, unable to say a word when facing the question.

Seeing Ella not speaking, the Sun King continued to ask in that low voice:

"Yes. Smart and unwise are relatively common. Even smart people will appear dull in front of smarter people. I often like smarter people. Let me change my question - are you smarter than the person you are looking for?"

"What does this mean..."

"For example, the solution I asked you to go back and think about." The Sun King raised his head slightly, "How will the opponent attack? Do you have any clues?"

Ella finally realized that she was threatened.

She knew that the Sun King was not a fool, and it would be impossible to fool around. But she could not give truly valuable suggestions to help the Sun King resist Hestein. The threat of the Sun King really put her in a dilemma.

But in theory, this is not an unsolvable problem. There is not only one way to win, and there is not only one weakness that leads to failure. As long as you avoid the key points of Hestein's attack and point out the important weaknesses of the Sun King in other places, you can gain the trust of the Sun King without affecting Hestein's victory.

She closed her eyes and began to think quickly in her mind - after all, how would Hestein choose to attack the Sun King?

Thinking about the actions the opponent will take is much harder than thinking about how to win. In this way, Ella found that she did not know much about Hestein. Hestein had only two battles that Ella had witnessed. Once in the decisive battle with Ragna, but half of that time was planned by Ella; the other time was outside the city of Constantinier, Hestein, who plundered the Seven Hills Empire, and the Imperial Guards of Berengal, and finally ended with Hestein retreating.

If you have to say it, Ella feels that Hestein's combat method is somewhat similar to Berengal. They are all types of people who rely on elite troops and their own force to break through from the front, and those who sneak into traps are two extremes.

Imagine that I am such a general, holding the Imperial Guard... How will I fight against the Sun King's long snake-like formation?

The answer quickly emerged - two small troops were feinted at the same time to attack the head and tail, and while the Sun King was exhausted from rescue, he attacked from the middle of the belly with the absolute main force, so that the opponent could not take care of each other. Although the Sun King was large in number, as long as there was a defeat in one place, the entire front would soon collapse thousands of miles.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that this was the action Hestein would take. That is to say, avoid this when making suggestions.

In addition, what are the weaknesses in the Sun King's arrangement? How will Hestein be replaced with her Ella?

The map of the Sun King appeared in her mind, and she vaguely recognized the symbol of it like a river.

"Are your camps all arranged by the river?" she asked.

"Of course." said the Sun King, "the army must consider the issue of water withdrawal when stationed. Arranging along the river can also effectively prevent the enemy's attack."

"Not good, not good."

Ella pretended to shake her head a few times.

A few vicious light flashed in the Sun King's eyes: "Is there any problem with this arrangement? Do you want me to keep my garrison away from the river?"

"Have you ever thought about how the other party came here from the other side of the sea?" Ella said. "Your opponent has the most advanced ships in the world, which is not comparable to your canoe. Such a vast sea cannot be used to stop their ships. Do you still want to stop them with a river?"

"Not only can't be stopped, this arrangement has a fatal weakness." Ella said, "Relying on the river, the enemy can maneuver at a speed far beyond yours, invading any stronghold along the river anytime and anywhere. Before your reinforcements arrive, the enemy has already used the river to retreat. Isn't it a big problem to be harassed like this continuously?"

——By keeping the Sun King's troops away from the river, it can further weaken Aztland's formation and support Hestein's land attack.

Of course, this is just Ella's own offensive plan. Hestein, a big man who doesn't even know anything, is strange to be able to use this sneaky guerrilla plan.
