Hmm?
After reading the gleaming intelligence of the day, Su Li suddenly sat up, startling Avril, who quickly asked, "Young master, what’s wrong? Did you see something bad happening in the future? Is there any danger?" 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖
Something bad?
Su Li pondered and nodded, indeed, and the revelation of future information seemed pale and powerless to him, even though he knew in advance, he had no ability to change it. The leak of the territory’s intelligence was already inevitable. The political struggle in the Sulande Province had lost its bottom line. To eliminate Philis, they did not hesitate to collude with foreign enemies, informing the Green Dragon of the Pioneer Territory’s information to eliminate everyone in the entire territory to achieve the goal of eradicating political opponents.
Su Li hated this feeling of powerlessness, especially knowing the fate of the future but having no ability to change it, making him feel helpless at the hands of destiny.
That’s why even with this system, he did not dare to retreat. Because he was afraid of ending up in this powerless conclusion, even knowing everything that would happen in the future but finding no choice but a dead-end.
Fortunately, since entering the Hesse Territory, he always faced challenges head-on, seizing every opportunity to grow stronger, so now he still has the power to confront the Green Dragon.
Although the territory’s intelligence was leaked to the Green Dragon, his army had repeatedly inflicted heavy damage on the Green Dragon’s minions, which meant that even if the Green Dragon knew the territory’s intelligence, it couldn’t directly destroy Hesse Territory. The final outcome still had to be decided by the swords in the hands of soldiers and the lethal claws of monsters.
So Su Li quickly adjusted his mindset, choosing only to report good news and not bad, and said, "There’s nothing bad, perhaps it’s a good thing for us; the war with the Green Dragon is about to reach a conclusion."
"Ah? So soon?" Philis exclaimed and asked, "Wasn’t Marshal Orstein’s strategic planning supposed to defeat the Green Dragon in several months or even half a year’s time? How come a decisive battle is happening in less than two months?"
Even with Marshal Orstein’s explanation, even someone as naïve and clueless about military matters as her could see the current situation clearly.
This is a total war; the longer the war drags on, the more the army’s strength in the territory grows, and the greater the chance of victory in the decisive battle.
Moreover, the situation was always developing according to the deployment of Marshal Orstein and Chief Steward Hilude; both were powerful Divine Chosen of the Sun Goddess, with strategies and tactics planned to perfection, unlikely to change lightly.
What level of force could have intervened to cause such a sudden and rapid spiral into a decisive battle?
Su Li did not explain to Philis in detail but said, "War is always fast-changing; no one can predict the situation months ahead. A little external force intervening or a slight change in intelligence can lead to a completely different course. Such a situation is normal."
"Besides, it might not be a bad thing for us. Ending the war sooner means we can improve our financial situation sooner and focus on development peacefully."
As long as this decisive battle is won, the biggest crisis in the territory will be overcome.
Prosperous times lie ahead; Su Li currently cannot think of any more fatal crises and will soon be able to enjoy life without any pressure.
Thus, Su Li composed himself, quickly dressed, and left the room to promptly convert the opportunities revealed in the intelligence into the territory’s strength.
After breakfast, he summoned Marshal Orstein and went together to the vicinity of last night’s fierce battlefield.
