Chapter 189: Kaman's Greed

"Whew... The family has sent word: prepare for war and get ready to strike."

Ignoring the "other" talk, Brown explained the situation to Hawk truthfully.

Hawk wasn't surprised by this; he knew the Carlisle family well and knew they wouldn't let such a loss go unanswered.

Otherwise, the Carlisle family wouldn't have made such a name for themselves in the fiercely competitive Bloodmoon City and secured such a significant share of the ruins market.

However, when it came to the mysterious Bay Territory, Hawk didn't take it lightly. Instead, he patiently asked:

"What does the family want us to do? What is our assigned task?"

Brown licked his lips as he watched the soldiers quickly gathering and carefully assessed the military force at his disposal.

"With 300 elite soldiers added, I now have 800 well-trained elite soldiers and can muster about 2,500 ordinary soldiers."

After thinking over the task assigned by the family, Brown hesitated for a moment before replying:

"The family's reinforcements have already entered the Misty Swamp and will arrive by noon tomorrow."

"If the Bay Territory chooses to lead their troops to intercept them, we will flank them from both sides and first crush their fighting force."

"If they remain inactive, we can use our numerical advantage to surround Murloc Castle."

"At that point, we don't need to attack. We'll wait for the reinforcements to join us and then decide whether to launch an assault or directly strike Bay Territory."

One must admit, Brown was highly valued by the Carlisle family and entrusted with important duties due to his sound military strategy.

At least he didn't assume.

That the remote, impoverished Bay Territory posed no military threat to him!

Brown maintained a clear-headed outlook.

He recognized that Matthew, as a member of the Ser family and a rare Arcanist who commanded a powerful dragon, was no ordinary adversary.

The Carlisle family had researched Bay Territory's military engagements.

They believed that the story of "400 to 500 soldiers defeating over a thousand trolls" was highly exaggerated.

It was likely blown out of proportion to better promote the territory.

However, Brown also acknowledged that Bay Territory's soldiers had likely fought against trolls.

Simply having experience in such combat made them a force to be reckoned with.

Hawk's defeat had also served as a wake-up call.

The harassment by Bay Territory in recent days had placed considerable pressure on him.

As a result, Brown abandoned any illusions and obediently followed the family's orders.

Brown's self-awareness led him to make the safest decision, but it also cost him the chance to defeat Bay Territory.

He could never have imagined just how powerful Bay Territory's military truly was!

.........

May 10th.

The weather was clear.

The scorching sun dispersed the fog over the Misty Swamp.

The Misty Swamp, usually shrouded in mist, was now visible to the soldiers.
