If Leo chooses to attack the Southern Fortress, then they'll be needing a really thorough plan in order to fight against Vladimir, the President of Sword and Magic who has a 2nd Constellation cultivation.
Although the Mischievous Lion organization has Olivia who is currently at the 7th Galaxy level and the 24 Elders that have cultivation ranging from 9 Star to 1st Galaxy level, fighting against Vladimir would still be extremely difficult. Naturally, there is always a chance of victory, even he was able to beat a 2nd Galaxy Mage who had learned a Magic Combat Technique using only two people with 9 Star level of cultivation with the assistance of two 7 Star Mage, thirteen members of the 5 Divisions, 4 Nature Elementals, 4 Earth Elementals, and a few cannons, so not to mention a lot of manpower which the Mischievous Lion organization obviously have.
Leo took a stick as he then pushed a wooden piece with a form of a lion to the Southern Fortress, "If we choose to fight in here, it would be against a 2nd Constellation Mage named Vladimir," He then moved the wooden piece again to the Blue Coral city and continued, "And if we choose here, it would be very easy, especially with the assistance of my Heart city at the west, but at the same time it wouldn't be able to benefit the Mischievous Lion organization that much, since Blue Fin Kingdom and the Mischievous Lion organization is making a deal to help each other in this war!"
Leo turned to look at everyone as he asked, "So, what are everyone's thoughts?"
"This is also very hard..." Ash also can't decide their next course of action. In her opinion, although they have a 100% chance of victory in choosing to invade the Blue Coral city, it would only serve as their outpost to attack the Green Weed City and right after that use the Green Weed city to attack either the Silver City or the Eastern Fortress. However, it might sound great, but the moment they started invading the north no one can be assured that the Sword and Magic, which they left at the Southern Fortress, wouldn't attack them at the rear. The Mischievous Lion organization might just get an attack at both the north and south by both the Silver royal family and Sword and Magic organization, and not to mention the Blue Fin Kingdom is actually not a sure ally yet because their King would definitely grab this opportunity to help the Silver royal family in defeating the Mischievous Lion organization. Additionally, those Noble Households that had chosen to ally with the Mischievous Lion organization right now would definitely also start betraying them if ever that moment indeed comes.
"How about we attack the Blue Coral city and then afterwards attack the Southern Fortress?" Ethan proposed.
"And let the Green Weed city attack the Blue Coral city? What's the use of investing manpower in attacking the Blue Coral city then, if we're only going to give it back to the Silver royal family once again?" Ash rolled her eyes.
"Use it as a shield that will delay the Green Weed city on attacking us!" Ethan replied.
"That shield might buy us time, but it will also cost us to lose a lot of manpower and resources. If it's an absolute outcome that we will win against the Southern Fortress, then, of course, there is no problem with that, but there is not even a single bit of guarantee that we will win!" Ash argued back.
"How about let's invade the Blue Coral city, then communicate with the Blue Fin Kingdom about attacking the Sword and Magic organization, and if they agree, with their assistance our chances of winning would definitely rise." Princess Elaine suggested.
"And then using the Heart city, we will block the Green Weed city from sending us any attack!" General Sheng added.
"But who would be defending against the Silver city in attacking the Heart city? Not to mention the Black organization at Williams city would definitely also attack the Blacksmoke city, therefore we cannot assign them to defend Heart city instead or to even split their force." Chief Lago quickly disagrees.
"That..."
"We just need to risk it!" General Alan argued.
"Risk losing a few cities in order to beat the Sword and Magic organization!" Ethan quickly supported, "And after that, we will then start our comeback! Take back all the cities we have lost, and then finally corner the Silver royal family at Silver city and Eastern Fortress."
"Do you really think that it's the same as losing 100 gold coins to get 1,000 gold coins and then use this 1,000 gold coins to get 10,000 gold coins?" Sebastian mocked.
"Exactly! Do you really think we wouldn't lose anything after sacrificing a few cities? Let me tell you this, not only would we lose manpower and resources for war after doing that, but we would also be cornered at the 3 Fortresses." Dan added.
��This is what we would get for assigning inexperienced people in an important position, they'll just open their mouth at whatever ideas their mind would think about!" Sele followed after.
"Please don't fight with each other. Always put in mind that we belong in the same boat now..." Old man Torre tried to pacify.
"Are you telling me that you're more experienced than us? On what basis? Because you've beaten us? Because you have more people than us? Or is it because you live in a Danger zone while we are not?" Ethan immediately became annoyed at Sele's words.
"Obviously, all of it!"
"You..."
Sitting in the middle, Leo could only sigh helplessly. Although he now has an army, it was pretty obvious to see that they all still lack experience with how to lead one.
Their words might sound reasonable and such, but listening closely, even an inexperienced person would be able to tell that what they're spouting were just skeletons with no muscles and skin. Like for example, how would they successfully invade the Blue Coral city? Although it is a sure guarantee, even he agrees with that, but how will they make it a sure guarantee? Or how will they use the Blue Coral city as a shield to delay the Green Weed City? Or how will they even persuade the Blue Fin Kingdom in helping them when in fact even his Master Olivia was still in discussion with them? How will they use the Heart city to block the Green Weed city from attacking the Blue Coral city, and etc... To be more precise, they're only saying the result, no process at all, so how would they successfully achieve the result without any bit of plan for the process?
"Silence!" Leo exclaimed out loud, which immediately pulled everyone's attention to him.
"How about you guys tell me how we will be able to successfully invade the Blue Coral city first before jumping on wherever places you want to arrive next?" Leo said with displeasure in his voice, "Seriously, I only asked you whether to invade the Southern Fortress or Blue Coral city, yet all of you immediately started planning on invading the entire Silver Kingdom. Even my Master Olivia can't easily achieve that despite having the control of the entire Mischievous Lion organization, so not to mention us! Just because we have successfully invaded the Southeast Fortress doesn't necessarily mean that we can just do the same thing to the other territories that still belong to the Silver royal family. Wake up people, stop daydreaming about success when you can't even bring me the process on how we will successfully have the Blue Coral city or the Southern Fortress!"
Everyone was sent into deep thoughts after they heard Leo's words.
Leo was absolutely right, they were only thinking of achieving this and that, and what would be the consequences after having this and that.
Ethan can't help flicking his forehead himself to pull himself together. He then looked at everyone and said, "After achieving one success, my mind immediately thought that we are special. So sorry about that Leo..."
"Same for me... I finally remembered that in order for you to beat Commander Decker, you've set plans after plans to counter almost every situation that would likely happen." Ash also apologized.
"As long as you understand." Leo nodded his head, pleased at their response. He then continued, "Now that we are finally in the same thought process, then answering my question of whether to invade the Blue Coral city or the Southern Fortress should be easy, right?"
"Yes... In my opinion, it's actually best for us to invade the Southern Fortress, as to why, it's simply because, with the help of Southwest Fortress and Heart city, we would be able to come up with plans after plans to help us defeat the Sword and Magic organization." Ash said, "Moreover, I finally realized that what we really need right now is to buy enough time for the Mischievous Lion organization and Blue Fin Kingdom to finish their discussion about the alliance. Hence, I suggest we attack the Southern Fortress with the thought of defending against them. In such a way, we can still defend the Southeast Fortress from the Blue Coral city's possible attack, and at the same time when the Mischievous Lion organization and Blue Fin Kingdom finally agrees with the alliance we can then do an all-out attack to quickly finish off the Southern Fortress, hence not giving the Blue Coral city enough time to successfully invade the Southeast Fortress."
"That's indeed great. We will assign General Sheng and General Alan to defend against the Blue Coral city, while we will be pressuring the Sword and Magic with the help of Heart city and Southern Fortress. We also don't need to worry about other territories attacking us because we aren't fully attacking the Southern Fortress, hence we can still allocate enough manpower to defend each of the Mischievous Lion organization's territories. The Blacksmoke city would put all of its manpower in defending against the Black organization, the Heart city and us would allocate maybe around 1/2 of our manpower, and while the Southern Fortress would be putting the majority of the pressure."
Hearing their idea, Leo smiled before nodding his head and he said, "I also agree with this! How about the others?" He turned to look at the Generals.
"My mother is definitely still thinking, so buying enough time for them to agree with each other is a great plan. No problem for me." Princess Elaine nodded.
"Sounds fair to me!" General Sheng added.
"I also agree!" General Alan followed after.
"I also have no problem with us only facing the other possible problems when they finally come, since our situation doesn't really require us to prepare for a lot of possible situation in the future due to the fact that we are situated at a corner with only the Blue Coral city to attack us." Chief Lago nodded.
"Exactly!" Sebastian nodded his head to express his agreement.
"I'm on the same shoes as Chief Lago!" Dan said.
"My agreement doesn't matter anymore, since only the two of us are left..." Sele voice out her agreement in a different way.
"What she really meant to say is, we both agree so we can proceed with the plan!" Old man, Torre quickly corrected.
Leo nodded his head as he stood up, marking the end of the meeting. The only thing left now is to bring the result of their meeting to the members of the Mischievous Lion organization in the Heart city and Southeast Fortress to hear about their thoughts. If they agree, then they can proceed.. If they don't agree, then they'll think of another way or just wait until someone decides on another plan that they can all agree.
