187,

This feeling, it's a bit like a joke.

Even if he is a genius strategist, Cyclone, an outsider like him, feels uneasy.

For example, even if Cyclone is not familiar with marching and warfare, occupying high ground and using terrain advantages is something even a child understands.

Being able to see the enemy's movements from a high vantage point and launching attacks from a position of advantage is exactly what Gluttony Tower represents.

Originally, it is a tower situated on a mountain, built with the purpose of being easily defensible, forming a hexagonal protection for Seven Sins City.

But now the entire army has charged down the mountain, as if abandoning a favorable military base.

On the other hand, the original Allen army broke through the open ground from the advantage of the mountain.

Now they have charged down the mountain, as if the situation has reversed.

"Your Majesty! I understand that Daniel is the strategist for this operation, but even if he is skilled, as long as demons attack from the rear, our army will..."

What Cyclone thought, others naturally thought of as well.

On this patch of open ground before the toxic fog swamp, the Allen army has already established the most basic camp.

In one of the camps, King Allen and others were taking a short break after the recent battle.

In the midst of it, someone suddenly raised a question, not about Daniel's carriage army, but about the regular army of the Allen army.

Although King Allen had already ordered them to stay in Allen City to suppress the ambush of the Steel Tribe.

But now the commanding general is absent, and his deputy general, Basbas, temporarily assumes the position.

But he is just someone filled with hot blood, weaker compared to the experienced commanding general, and lacks trust in Daniel.

Why does someone like him still remain?

Cyclone had asked Daniel this before.

But Daniel only replied with a sentence, precisely because he is weak, that's why he is here.

After thinking about it carefully, Cyclone finally understood.

Why is the commanding general not here? Because he is not weak, he was driven away by the Grand Prime Minister.

Looking at it from a different perspective, Basbas remains precisely because he is not strong, and thus avoided persecution from the Grand Prime Minister.

Now, he leads a small cavalry unit to follow, with the worst-case scenario in mind.

The so-called worst-case scenario is that if something happens, they will immediately bring King Allen back to Allen City.

In fact, this is a lack of trust in King Allen, not only disobeying the king's order but also forcibly dispatching troops.

But he cannot be blamed, it is only because of his loyalty and concern that he would make such a foolish act, and King Allen is aware of it.

"It's okay, everything is already calculated~"

Daniel calmly replied.

"Even if you say that, if I were that person, I would definitely bypass and encircle us from the mountain!"

"Is that so?"

Daniel pretended to be clueless again.

"Do you have something prepared? Just say it. Stop pretending."

Unlike Basbas, Bettina asked the question based on her trust in Daniel.

At the same time, Sonja, standing beside them, also stepped forward.

"The next stage is coming, right?"

"Sis? Do you know what the next stage is?"

Bettina asked curiously.

"I don't know," Cyclone crossed his hands and watched quietly.

In this stealth attack, Cyclone believed that only two people knew the details.

One was Daniel, and the other naturally was King Allen.

Everyone looked at Daniel, but he, already wearing glasses, just smiled helplessly and didn't want to say anything.

However, suddenly, King Allen, who was about to take a sip of water, stopped.

"Oh~ He's here," King Allen's words made everyone look at him.

Cyclone watched as King Allen suddenly glared angrily ahead.

Seeing this, Baghdad asked, "Your Highness? Who's here?"

With his hand pressed against his heart, King Allen broke out in a cold sweat.

"Who else could it be? Of course it's our beloved person... Arrogance!"
