While they were resting on the headquarters, Lisa revised the tactics once again.
Jisoo checked the soldiers again and counted them. According to him, the number of wounded soldiers didn't increase much from yesterday, but there were still more of them.
"Probably, he's only lucky to guess the way you fight correctly," Jackson tried to ease the tense atmosphere.
"Blaming yourself won't solve the situation," Jennie put the map in front of them, "Let's make a strategy for winning the war."
Lisa nodded his head and arranged the strategy with them. Lou and Shu guarded the area and didn't allow anyone to come near them.
"Is it possible that there is a spy here?" Jisoo suddenly asked.
He didn't believe that Jiu could see the future. It sounded extremely impossible as there was no way someone could see the future.
The possible explanation would be there was a spy among them.
Lisa frowned. The one who knew the strategy they were going to use was only him and them.
Even their personal guards were located far enough. Besides, they didn't say which strategy they were going to use clearly as Lisa would still direct the battle by himself or Jennie would insert additional things inside.
After all, when Jennie countered the attack previously, Jiu didn't respond very well.
So, he must only know the original plan but didn't know the rest of their attack.
Was there a pattern in the attack that Jiu could read?
"No, there is no spy," Lisa already tested it before by not telling anyone about his attack to anyone and only giving vague instructions to his squad.
Much to his surprise, Jiu still knew about his tactic, despite him not telling anyone.
So he knew, Jiu didn't use spies.
"Let's just try different tactics that we never used before," Jennie suggested.
"I see."
They agreed. If they couldn't win by the usual strategy they used, they need to change them.
One way or another, they believed that they could find a strategy they could use to counter Jiu perfectly.
Still, the result crushed their hope continuously.
No matter which strategy Lisa used, even those that he never used before, Jiu would always counter the strategy perfectly.
The strategy pushed them to an unfavorable position and made them farther and farther away from the capital.
"The distance that we fight hard to gain is slowly taken back by Jiu," after three weeks, the distance became obvious and they discussed how they should fight whilst retreating on the horse.
Jennje also rode a horse after a long time of insisting and complaining. She wouldn't want to stay in the carriage once again.
After all, riding a horse didn't require her martial arts.
"It's obvious, he can predict the strategy that Lisa uses very well," Jisoo frowned.
The ability Jiu had could be called insane. More importantly, he was the enemy they had to face.
Lisa nodded. No matter which strategy he used, the strategy that Jiu used would perfectly counter his.
Although the damage was not big because he could react on time, the morale of his soldiers was going down every day.
If this continued, there was no guarantee that they would not lose their composure.
They have been trying to change their pattern and attack Jiu differently.
Unfortunately, their decision always ended in him reading them. No matter how many times they tried to read the pattern, they couldn't.
"What about an ambush for him?" Yan asked.
Because they were retreating and heading towards a different place, there was a chance that they couldn't set up an ambush here.
Jiu shouldn't be able to predict them because they didn't see each other.
Lisa looked around. It was not impossible to put an ambush here, but the problem was they didn't know where Jiu would appear and if he did, would their attack succeed?
Glancing around, he finally nodded his head solemnly.
"I will stay behind to set up an ambush. All of you continue to the hill and set the headquarters," Lisa answered.
Jennie didn't like the idea of ambush, but she nodded her head, "I understand."
In any case, even her tactics couldn't surprise Jiu when they were facing each other on the battle.
So, this time, she would try to bet on the idea of an ambush. If he hadn't seen the soldiers, probably he would not be able to guess.
As Jennie and the others went on their way, Lisa led part of his soldiers for an ambush.
He carefully selected a good place for the soldiers to hide and waited for Jiu to appear on the way.
On the side of Lisa, Lou stayed vigilant.
This battle was undoubtedly the hardest battle Lisa ever experienced.
Jiu was such a peculiar opponent that made them couldn't predict his movement while he could tell their movement very clearly and made the precaution before the battle happened.
Hiding, Lisa waited for a few hours before he sensed that something was wrong.
He hurriedly told his soldiers to prepare for a battle and moved to the side only to meet with Jiu who had already standing there along with his soldiers.
"You're not that foolish too, General Lisa Jiu said with a slight smile, "But, it's already too late."
Lisa drew his sword. His mind was in turmoil.
How could Jiu find that they were setting up an ambush here?
Looking at the number of soldiers behind Jiu, he knew that Jiu had guessed correctly the number of soldiers he had here.
"How did you guess it?" Lisa asked in a rather cold tone.
"You wouldn't know even if I told you, General Lisa," Jiu smiled, "This time, I would not fall for the same tactic anymore."
"This time...?" Lisa couldn't remember meeting with Jiu before aside from their battle starting a few weeks before.
As for talking, he could only remember the taunt the other party said to him.
Besides, with their difference in location, there was no chance for them to meet with each other in the past.
Jiu smirked, "Of course, you would not know because in your memory we hadn't met before."
Lisa readied his sword.
No matter what, he needed to get out of this trap.
