CHAPTER 438: CHAPTER 409: OWN CAMP AND SOLDIERS

In the central camp tent at this moment, apart from Captain Horn, there was another general.

It appeared this general was likely Horn’s subordinate.

Upon seeing Kane and his group entering, Horn immediately waved to them.

In front of Horn and the others was a massive sand table.

When Kane and the others approached, they noticed the sand table hadn’t changed much from before.

However, the red puppets at the very bottom, where they were currently located, had increased by one and advanced forward some distance, with the narrow area below now completely occupied by the red forces.

"Captain Kane, you’re here. The situation remains dire."

As he spoke, Horn pointed to the position occupied by the red forces on the sand table.

"Although we have advanced into another area and gained more territory, now qualified to build a large camp and our forces have been replenished."

"But."

Horn pointed at those blue puppets blocking the red forces ahead.

"Now we have achieved a temporary victory, but we face even greater forces and violent attacks."

"The terrain ahead in our area doesn’t offer good defensive positions, and after my soldiers’ reconnaissance, it’s estimated that two forces of 4000 troops each will attack us tomorrow, coming from the two nearest regions."

"We need to withstand their attack first to have a chance to counterattack and seize these two areas."

"Once we seize these two areas."

Horn didn’t finish, but pointed at the locations of these areas.

These areas precisely formed the gateway of the narrow lower part, coincidentally two high mountains, with a relatively wide passage through the middle connecting to the rear.

In the center of the passage stood a fortress, built relying on the flanking mountains.

"We can then rely on these mountains and the central fortress to hold the passage from the center to the rear. This way we can breathe and seize the opportunity to gradually advance outward."

According to the dungeon’s mechanism, the more territory occupied, the more soldiers, generals, and resources one can possess.

"So, how much military strength is in the camp now?" Kane asked.

Horn replied, "The expanding territory allows me to command 4000 soldiers, and my subordinate can lead 500 soldiers. That’s all the forces we can muster."

"But this time the attackers are not like the weak soldiers and generals before. Those previous soldiers and generals only wanted one last pocket of glory."

With 4500 troops plus Kane and their forces, there are 5100 people.

Adding Kane and his few warriors, who could confront thousands, the combined forces of nearly 9000 do not pose much fear, as long as full force is exerted.

Kane pondered and then asked, "So, Captain Horn, where do you plan to confront them?"

Horn pointed a short distance ahead of the camp: "We cannot meet the enemy at the main camp; otherwise, there will be no retreat if an accident occurs. There are two higher ground positions here, conveniently where the two attacking forces will come from, so I am planning to divide the forces to meet them at these two places."

Upon hearing Horn’s words, Kane pondered.

If dividing forces at two locations, they could reduce casualties and achieve greater results.

However, if Kane seeks maximum benefit, they would also need to split into two routes.

Kane then agreed to the suggestion and discussed the details carefully with Horn.

Finally, it was decided Horn would lead the troops to face the enemy on the left, while Kane would lead the troops to confront the enemy on the right.

Horn leads 4000 soldiers along with Kreya, Longbei, and Meizike.

There are more soldiers on this side, requiring Meizike for large-scale healing to reduce losses.

Whereas Longbei and Kreya could quickly eliminate the enemy’s vital forces, expanding victory and harvest.

Kaineze and Lilulu would join with their 600 troops plus Horn’s subordinate’s 500 troops to confront the right side enemy.

With only 1100 troops here, the main aim is to kill any stragglers; with Kane and Lilulu, the small soldier killers, a troop of over 4000 soldiers poses no threat aside from consuming their magic power greatly.

Unless those 4000 soldiers are all Silver-level, which would prompt Kane to say excuse me.

However, it’s impossible; like before, the Silver-level soldiers will be around 500, within Kane’s handling capability.

Nearly all enemies here would fall at their feet, turning into their resources and battle achievements.

According to current estimates, the enemy will reach the camp by noon tomorrow; Kane and his group need to gather in the morning to confront them.

After discussing all the details, Kane and the others left the central camp tent.

Then, Kane and his group directly left the camp and came to the right side of this military encampment.

Upon leaving the encampment, they spotted a small camp already constructed about 100 meters away.

A few makeshift barriers were used to surround the camp.

As Kane and his group entered the camp, they saw a bustling scene, with dozens of soldier tents already built and orderly positioned within the camp.
