The Atrocious Werewolf Prince

Chapter 39 Details For Strategy

?The enthusiasm was sky high, except for some. The 9 Supernovas were surprised, the prince's sudden declaration of war forced them to judge his mentality. For 5 years straight, they only focus on 3 things. Cultivation and qi skill, combat experience and war tactics. Unlike others, their sole purpose was to serve as military generals for the Bloodfang Kingdom. And they had every right to doubt that decision.

"Your majesty?" Rockey spoke.

Ezra didn't look at him and answered "I know what you are going to say, I will explain the detailed strategy. Bring those 3 with 6th-grade spirit, I will explain how will we attack."

Rockey silenced and looked at his fellow supernovas. After a while, as ordered, Rockey brought the 3 and came to the prince.

Ezra arranged a round table, all 12 sat on their seats while Ezra stood at the front. "Dear generals, as you all witnessed my declaration of war with the Warborn Kingdom."

Rockey raised his hand "Your highness, am I allowed to speak"

"Yes, brother Rockey." Prince smiled and said.

Rockey stood from his seat, showing courtesy. "My prince, it is a bad decision according to my knowledge, our economy will receive tremendous damage and we will be weak towards other nearby kingdoms. Our total number of troops is 1,00,000. All are common men except those who 7503."

The prince answered without pondering a bit. "Does any other kingdom has that number of martial masters?" His answer was packed with a question.

No one spoke, quietness covered the meeting room. The prince smirked "I consider it as a no, as of the problem of economy and wealth. The issue has been solved, the chief administrator has given his permission"

Rockey squinted his eyes in thought "But your majesty..."

"Brother Rockey... are you more experienced in warcraft than chief administrator?" The tone of the prince changed. "I am not only the crown prince but also the chief of army staff appointed by the King himself, as for my authority, I am only answerable to the King. Your behaviour is a question to King's judgement."

Rockey quickly bent his knee. "This subject has committed blasphemy, I will receive any punishment for my gaffe"

Ezra stepped forward and raised Roch Whitefang with his hands. "You are a powerful asset of our kingdom, how can I punish you, just put trust in me."

Rockey nodded respectfully. "You may sit now" Ezra said as he continued.

"Tell me about the Warborn kingdom, their numbers of troops, martial masters and their power ranks"

As Ezra asked, Jani Galearms stood. "Your majesty, may I?"

"Sure, Jani." Ezra permitted.

"I had a hunch that there will be a war soon, so I already gathered sufficient information about our enemies.

There is a total of 3 cities in the Warborn Kingdom, their main task is to hinder our growth by continuous attacks on our borders. Our kingdom is at the southern edge of the continent, and towards our south and west is nothing but ocean.

The land continues from east, north and north-west. We have the Warborn Kingdom in the north and north-west and the Tribbain Kingdom in our East and North-East. Blocking our trade routes to other kingdoms and empires, we can only trade with commerce guilds and merchants who visit us.

Warborn is the kingdom of beastmen, after Brownmane Empire destroyed us and drove us towards the very corner, they gave these 3 cities to those beastmen who rebelled against us as a reward.

Their current King is Dhongi Bushtail, a Werehyena. There is a long history of werewolves and werehyenas, they used to be bandits.

Out of their 3 cities, 1 is a big city 'Tyrre' which is the capital of the kingdom, while the other two smaller cities are 'Foham and Bishnigam'. They have sent the majority of their forces towards Bishnigam."

"To attack our city of Vily" Ezra mumbled, enough loudly to be heard by others.

"Exactly, your majesty. To attack Vily city and get their hands on our coal mines. They have a total of 1,00,000 common troops, with 8 Generals. All of the generals are at Foundation Establishment Stage, as of their level, I am not certain. Apart from them, they have 500 men special unit called Bloody Hyenas under the command of the crown prince, all of them are at the Core Formation Stage.

(Note: Common Troops or Common Men is the term used on those who have 1st-grade or 2nd-grade martial spirits. These martial spirits are worst in fighting, cultivating and meditating. People with these Martial Spirits are called Common. They either do chores and business to feed the family or join the army as cannon fodder)

The most dangerous one is the King himself, he is old and cunning. I learnt that he battled our previous king Canine Fists many times, he is at the 3rd Level of Nascent Soul Stage.

2 generals are present in Foham city, 3 generals are in the capital city Tyrre and the remaining 3 generals together with Bloody Hyenas are in Bishnigam, preparing to attack us.

That is all, your majesty" Jani explained every single important piece before sitting back in his seat.

"Very well" Ezra smiled and continued "We will attack tonight, prepare to move"

The small army of martial masters clumped towards the northwest.
