Chapter 141, The Great Retreat_3

After hesitating for a moment, Daniel nodded. Usually, he disdained such petty ploys, but that didn't mean his political acumen was nonexistent.

In the struggle with Hudson, the main reason for defeat was the emptiness within the Orc Empire, and the attacked tribes had not been able to buy time for rescue. If the military forces stationed in the tribes had been stronger, the enemy would never have been able to move in and out as freely as they now could.

If it had not been for his troops arbitrarily changing their march route, according to Duke Daniel's deployment, the cavalry would have met up halfway and would never have suffered such a heavy defeat.

"Then let's proceed with that for now! Pass the message to the nearby tribes to strengthen their guard."

"In the camps around the tribal settlements, dig more horse pits and set up more horse-blocking stakes. Regardless of day or night, there must be a sufficient number of patrols."

Daniel instructed reluctantly.
