Thus, the Strategy Proposal Meeting began.

    Following Serpina’s lead, a discussion gradually unfolded.

    "Amin, let’s hear your thoughts."

    "Yes, my lady."

    The man called Amin bowed deeply and spoke in a firm voice.

    "We must immediately mobilize all available forces."

    "Mobilization, is it?"

    For how confidently he was speaking, this sounded like a matter that had already been settled on the battlefield.

    The reason Brans Army hadn’t been touched was because they had been observed redirecting their frontline forces toward Arnel Castle.

    Their decision to partially abandon their own territory meant they were focusing all their defenses on their capital—choosing to protect it at all costs. It also indicated that, for the foreseeable future, they had no means of gathering additional reinforcements.

    In other words, it was actually more effective to let them keep their current position, allowing Brans Army to lock itself into a defensive stance, rather than forcing them into a desperate last stand.

    Of course, Brans Army could still attempt mass conscription if they wanted to. If they rounded up every man available—be it young boys, old veterans, or even the physically impaired—they might be able to bolster their numbers.

    However, such a reckless approach would destroy what little public support they had left, leaving them in an even more fragile state. Once their army collapsed, they would never be able to recover.

    And with an untrained, hastily assembled force, it was unlikely they’d put up an effective fight anyway.
