Chapter 237: Finalizing the Plan
Hearing Angela's words, Elona showed a look of disbelief.
Two thousand soldiers attacking five thousand trolls?
And the enemy has the advantage of castle defenses?
Is that even possible?
The others began to think harder, trying to grasp Angela's strategy.
The half-elf knight didn't hesitate as she pointed to the three scattered troll settlements below the castle, speaking confidently:
"These three troll settlements are already very familiar with us and know our strength."
"When they see our army move, they will surely withdraw and fortify their defenses."
"Therefore, we can use the nearly 2,000 adventurers to surround them first!"
"These trolls and the Gurubashi trolls in the castle are enemies."
"Even if they realize we are attacking the castle, they won't send warnings or reinforcements."
"So, when we attack the castle, we can use all our forces!"
Elio nodded in agreement after hearing Angela's reasoning.
Indeed!
The trolls are not a united force!
The valley trolls are treated as livestock by the Gurubashi trolls.
There is an irreconcilable conflict between the two groups, and they see each other as mortal enemies.
As long as we deal with the castle trolls within five days.
The valley trolls will be trapped like fish in a barrel.
The approach seemed sound, but there was still the major challenge.
How to eliminate 5,000 trolls in five days?
After breaking down the goal, Angela zoomed in on the castle and carefully explained the plan:
"According to our intelligence, the troll castle doesn't store food."
"Every day, they send out a hunting party of 2,000 trolls to the forests on both sides."
"Even in the best season, they don't return until noon."
Beelzebub licked his lips while flipping through the information given to him.
Leon seemed to catch on to something, studying the castle that would have only 3,000 trolls left.
There's half a day.
How should we deal with this?
Angela thought back to Leon's earlier tactical suggestion, and the more she spoke, the clearer her thoughts became, continuing smoothly:
"Then, we use bait tactics to lure some of the trolls out of the castle."
"However, we don't intend to eliminate that batch of trolls."
"Instead, we gather all our forces, with the help of Lady Yaya, Beelzebub, Elio, and other elites, to take the walls and the gate directly."
"Once some of the 3,000 trolls in the castle are scattered, the castle will be at its weakest."
"If we defeat the remaining troll soldiers, we can use the gate and walls as defensive positions to block the returning 2,000 trolls!"
"At that point, we can use a small teleportation array to bring in golem guardians, heavy crossbows, alchemical fire oil, and other defensive tools, turning it into a defensive battle where we excel!"
