Who taught him to restore the country like this

Chapter 117: Division of Troops
In the meeting room of the Public Security Department.

All the leaders of the forces who came to seek refuge in Baimu City gathered here, all looking at Ron who was sitting in the main seat.

Many people saw Ron for the first time, but they had heard a little about his deeds in Whitewood City.

Especially last night, we turned the tide and reversed the situation.

No one objected to Ron sitting in this position, and no one rejected Ron's presence.

On the contrary, at this stage they really need someone as capable as Ron to step up and take charge of the situation.

"Mr. Thompson, you have called us together. Do you have any instructions for the next step?" asked a security captain from Baihe City.

"Yes."

Ron nodded and said, "Silver City sent out two thousand guards last night, intending to launch a large-scale attack on Whitewood City."

Everyone's faces turned heavy when they heard this.

Given the current situation in Baimu City, even if the enemy troops that were defeated last night were to reorganize and attack the city again, Baimu City would be unable to resist, let alone a general attack.

They all thought that after the battle last night, Silver City's next attack would be in a few days. They didn't expect the Duke's second son to be so decisive and directly mobilize the Silver City army that night.

As for it?
Is Shiraki Castle so important?
"Mr. Thompson, do we have any reinforcements?"

"No."

"The man who killed Krag last night..."

"It's me," Ron said calmly.

Raphael was stunned when he heard this.

Is Mr. Thomson so powerful?
When everyone heard that Ron was the strong man who killed Krag, they all looked surprised.

But soon, they became sad again.

Facing the general attack of Silver City, a sixth-level strongman can't do anything.

Without reinforcements, the only way out now seems to be to temporarily avoid the attack.

Everyone looked at Ron, but didn't rush to express their opinions. Ron called them together, most likely because he had already thought of a solution.

"Running away is not an option."

Ron glanced at everyone and expressed his opinion.

"Silver City is coming with such force this time. If we abandon the city and flee, they will surely pursue us relentlessly. Without a foothold, we will have no chance of victory. Fleeing is tantamount to surrender."

Everyone who didn't know that the Duke's second son was in a hurry to leave the Thorn Territory unanimously agreed with Ron's opinion.

Seeing that no one objected, Ron continued:

"With our strength, it's impossible to compete head-on with Silver City. Therefore, we need to avoid Silver City's main forces and target their weak points."

"If the enemy wants to capture Baimu City in one fell swoop, they will definitely withdraw most of the troops from other main cities. If we take advantage of this opportunity to capture other main cities, it will surely be easy."

After hearing this, everyone thought for a moment, and someone asked, "What happens after we occupy the other main cities?"

According to Ron, it is indeed not difficult to capture other main cities, but what is the point of doing so?
This method of surprise attack can only be used once, and the enemy will not allow them to succeed in a second surprise attack.

Capturing other main cities is nothing more than changing a stronghold and delaying the battle for a while, which will not change the outcome at all.

The purpose was to delay time... Ron, of course, couldn't say what he was thinking. He asked, "Have you forgotten the purpose of gathering in Baimu City?"

Everyone was stunned.

Silver City's unpredictable and fierce attack made them think about how to protect themselves these days, and they even forgot that the purpose of coming to Whitewood City was to rescue the Duke's eldest son who was in Silver City.

Now they have forced Silver City to send out a large number of guards, and have achieved their goal of rescuing the city.

"With so many guards deployed by Silver City, the Duke's eldest son is likely already free. All you need to do now is launch a surprise attack and capture White Star City, then support the Duke's eldest son. With the Duke's eldest son's support, are you still worried about not being able to fight the Duke's second son?"

Ron had already planned out the next steps for them.

He believed that the Duke's eldest son was not dead yet, otherwise the Duke's second son, who was in a hurry, would have sent a large number of troops to attack Baimu City long ago. Why would it have dragged on until now?
The conference room fell into a brief silence.

After a moment, everyone agreed with Ron's plan. Although Ron's method carried a gamble, there was currently no better way.

"Are you going to give up Shiraki Castle?"

Singh asked with a complicated expression.

Having worked in Shiraki City for more than ten years, he is reluctant to give up Shiraki City.

But it seems unrealistic to wait for the Duke's eldest son to come to Baimu City. The Silver City army will only arrive in Baimu City faster than the Duke's eldest son.

They needed to take a detour to buy time to pick up the Duke's eldest son.

In this case, we have no choice but to give up Baimu City.

Hey……

Singh sighed helplessly in his heart and was about to ask how to accommodate so many wounded people in Baimu City.

"Do not."

Ron's answer was beyond everyone's expectations.

"Bai Mu City is our retreat after our failure, and we cannot give up yet. Therefore, we must divide our forces and fight, attacking Bai Yan City along the way and garrisoning Bai Mu City along the way."

After hearing this, everyone thought Ron was crazy.

All of them combined can't defend Baimu City, and they're dividing their forces to fight. Aren't the garrison soldiers dying in vain?
"I will personally lead the Tiantu Mercenary Group to garrison Shiraki City. The mission of attacking Shirahoshi City and reuniting the Duke's eldest son will be left to you."

Ron took the initiative to take on the task of garrisoning, dispelling everyone's worries.

At the same time, everyone realized that Ron was not joking.

There are currently less than 400 members of the Tiantu Mercenary Group who can fight. How can they defend a city?

"Mr. Thompson, I will stay and garrison Whitewood City with you." Singer said.

"I appreciate your kindness, but the Duke's eldest son needs you more." Ron said with a smile.

"But……"

"No need to say more."

Ron stood up and said, "I took the initiative to stay here. I naturally have a way to defend Baimu City. You don't have to worry about it."

Since Ron said so, Singer had no choice but to follow the arrangements.

More than an hour later, on the city wall, Ron watched nearly two thousand guards leave Whitewood City, including five hundred prisoners from White Star City.

Leaving too many captives in Baimu City would be difficult to control, so Ron let them take most of them away.

Following Ron's instructions, after leaving Whitewood City, they walked along the mountains on the east side, concealing their tracks and approaching White Star City, which was the closest to Silver City.

After the Baimu City army disappeared from sight, Ron withdrew his gaze and began to arrange the defense of Baimu City.

Four hundred men certainly couldn't defend the city with real tactics, so they could only use feints.

He first withdrew most of the guards on the city wall, leaving only a few people to observe the situation outside the city.

He then ordered people to open the city gate and had fifty people guard the left and right sides of the gate to prevent people in the city from leaving.

Then turn on the interference ban to prevent anyone from using magic to spy on the situation in the city.

In this way, the empty city plan was initially formed.

As for whether we can successfully scare the enemy, that depends on fate. As long as we can delay them for a day and a half, we will basically be safe.

It doesn't matter if you can't delay. If you can defend it, defend it. If you can't, run away. Anyway, the highlight of the restoration of the country is not in Baimu City, but in the battle between the Duke and the Junior.

He can take a break for a while.

The mercenaries of the Tiantu Mercenary Group followed Ron's instructions without knowing the details.

They still didn't understand why there were suddenly fewer guards in the city, nor did they understand why Ron asked them to withdraw the guards and open the city gates?
However, they believed that Ron must have his reasons for doing so.
