“What method? Quickly, tell us!”


  Rowe excitedly persuaded Lecter.

  Lecter gave a mysterious smile, before opening his mouth to speak.

  “Although the defensive fortification constructed by the Empire is abnormally strong, there is a fatal weakness!”


  “What weakness is that?”


  Everyone asked.

  Lecter turned to look at Dali.

  “I think leader Dali should be very clear about this weakness!”


  Everyone shifted their gaze to Dali.

  Dali looked at the eager gazes of everyone and thought for a moment before speaking.

  “I think the weakness that General Lecter spoke about is their weak hearts!”


  “Weak hearts? What weakness is that? Could you be more specific?”


  Mike questioned.

  Dali then looked at the crowd and clarified, “The so-called weakness is that once the people of the Empire feel that they can’t beat us, their hearts will become fearful. They will scatter and run away!

  “Am I right?”


  Dali looked to Lecter for confirmation.

  Lecter nodded and continued.

  “That’s true, but there is a crucial piece of information that you don’t know!”


  “What information is that? Quickly tell us, please!”


  Rowe said excitedly.

  Lecter continued with a calm smile.

  “Although the northern battlefront constructed by the Empire is very long, the defense points set up on each battlefront are very weak.

  “As long as we send out an opponent whose strength can match theirs, we can wipe out an entire defense point’s enemy in one fell swoop!”


  “However, there is still a flaw in doing so!”


  Lecter brought everyone back down to earth.

  “What flaw?”


  One after another, everyone asked.

  Lecter continued.

  “The positions of each defense point are very close. Once we break through one of the defense points, we’ll have to be careful. If even one soldier manages to escape, soldiers from all directions will come in support from other defense points and this will catch us unprepared!”


  When they heard this, everyone fell into silence.

  Then, Dali also spoke.

  “Even if our Nameless Army is strong, a mere three hundred men army can’t stand up to the Stone Tablet Army of over ten thousand men!”


  Following that, Lecter smiled again before speaking.

  “Actually, I think that the weakness of this battle will become an advantage for us instead!”


  Rowe asked, “What do you mean?”


  Lecter gave Rowe a smile.

  “Have you two leaders ever played cricket games when you were young?”


  Rowe and Romon nodded.

  “Of course, but what does this have to do with our war?”


  Lecter gave an amused smile and said, “Actually, this game of playing with crickets will also be our method of defeating the various defense points of the Empire!”


  Hearing this, everyone became even more confused.

  Suddenly, Mike burst into laughter.

  Dali looked questioningly at Mike.

  “Mike, what are you laughing at?”


  Mike laughed as he said, “I finally understood what General Lecter meant just now. This analogy of playing with crickets is very appropriate!”


  “You understand it? Then quickly explain it to us!”


  Rowe urged.

  Mike gradually held back his laughter as he spoke slowly.

  “The objective of playing with crickets is to block one end of the crickets. The crickets will then run to the other end. When they discover that the other end is also blocked, the crickets will turn and run back in the direction they came from!”


  “I see! I understand now!”


  Rowe exclaimed loudly.

  Romon also smiled meaningfully.

  Dali looked at the crowd and spoke anxiously.

  “What exactly is it that all of you know? Quickly, tell me!”


  Hearing this, Lecter did not continue to speak in riddles as he had done earlier. Instead, he thought for a moment before saying, “Actually, my meaning is very simple!

  “That is, we can first focus all of our strength on attacking a defensive point. After that defensive point has been breached, the team will split into two teams which will quickly move both to the left and right.

  “After the defensive point is breached, all of the Empire’s troops from the left and right will rush over. At that moment, we can attack from both directions and catch them off guard!”


  “Good! That’s great! This is a really great plan!”


  When Dali heard this, he looked very excited. He continuously praised the plan that Lecter had just proposed.

  Then, Rowe spoke up.

  “Since our current battle plan has already been formulated, then let us now discuss the specific distribution of the battle!

  “Does anyone have a suitable candidate for this battle?”


  Rowe swept a gaze over at everyone before Dali spoke up first.

  “Lord Leader! I, Dali, am willing to fight!”


  Rowe looked at Dali, thought for a moment, before speaking.

  “I think it’s not a good idea! Does anyone else have a suitable candidate to propose?”


  Dali looked at Rowe in puzzlement as he asked, “Sir Leader! Why can’t I do it? Do you think there’s something wrong with my abilities?”


  When Rowe heard this, he smiled and said, “Dali! I highly approve of your combat ability, but this kind of battle requires extreme flexibility. I think you’re still lacking in this aspect!”


  Hearing this, Dali still wanted to argue.

  However, Romon spoke before Dali could.

  “I think General Ahu can do it!”


  “Ahu? That surrendered general from the southern part of the Empire? Does that kid really have the ability to complete such an important mission?”


  Dali said sourly.

  Without hesitation, Rowe replied.

  “General Ahu is indeed the best candidate for this battle, but I don’t know if he would be willing to participate in the battle.”


  When Mike heard this, he asked, “Why is he not willing to join the battle? Hasn’t he already submitted to the Lieluo Army?”


  When Rowe heard Mike’s questions, he said, “Actually, this matter is also our problem. Originally, before the southern part of the Empire had been completely conquered by our Lieluo Army, General Ahu had already surrendered with us, but…”


  “But?”


  Mike continued to ask.

  “One of our men from the Lieluo Army accidentally killed the southern leader who was pretending to be dead, as the battlefield was being cleared.

  “After General Ahu heard about this matter, he became unwilling to meet us.”


  Hearing this, Mike understood the reason behind it.

  Rowe continued to speak.

  “Let’s see if we can find someone else.”
