Volume 6 Chapter 47 - How to make it important (1/2)

General McHale wanted to know the answer to this question more than anyone.

The army headquarters had claimed that the Rudson Kingdom was truly bold to go against the Candra Empire. Although everyone didn’t think there was a need to place importance on this small country and they could send anyone out to deal with it, he insisted on being sent with these three regiments that were in charge of invading the Rudson Kingdom.

The reason was that one of the regiments was one that he had led before and it now belonged to his former subordinate. Also, his wife’s little brother had been assigned as the leader of the cavalry there, so he wanted to use this fight to get some merits for his old subordinates and his wife’s little brother, making it easier for them to be promoted.

But he never would have thought that a small Rudson Kingdom would actually turn all of this over and finally repel the army of the Candra Empire.

What angered him even more was that because he wanted to get the biggest merit for his wife’s little brother, he had arranged the cavalry unit under him to be in the vanguard. In the end, in the first battle, his wife’s little brother’s cavalry unit was wiped out by the Rudson Kingdom’s army. Even his wife’s little brother shared the same fate and couldn’t escape.

Although he never liked his wife’s glib little brother, he was still his wife’s blood related little brother. Now that he had died because he had been placed in the vanguard by him, he could imagine how sad and angry his wife will be after learning of this.

General McHale who was aware of this vented all his anger on general Cook who was in charge of this operation.

“You trash! You had fifty thousand elites, but you couldn’t beat twenty thousand people from the Rudson Kingdom, even suffering heavy casualties. Do you still have the face to stand here? If I were you, I would have already committed suicide to apologize!”

General Cook looked at general McHale with a cold look on his face, not saying a word.

Although the two of them were both generals, general Mchale had received a medal from the emperor himself. He was acknowledged as one of the five great generals who had the greatest rank in the army headquarters, holding a high position in the empire. It was not something that he who only led a single army could compare to.

So even if he didn’t accept this, he could only maintain his silence and not say a thing.

General McHale angrily scolded him for twenty minutes before finally panting to a stop. However, he then took out an official document from his chest that he threw at general Cook.

“Because of your failure, the army headquarters has relieved you of your command and I will take full responsibility for this operation. As for you…..wait to be held accountable by the army headquarters!”

General Cook opened the official document to look at and found that the content was as he had expected before putting it on the side.

“Sir McHale, I can’t deny the failure this time, but I must remind you that the battle strength of the Rudson Kingdom’s army is far beyond what you can imagine. I hope that you can be more careful.”

General McHale gave a snort, “What? You want to find an excuse for yourself? It’s a trivial Rudson Kingdom, how powerful could they be? You created this result as the commander, do you really think you can find an excuse for yourself?”

“I’m not trying to find an excuse, this Rudson Kingdom’s army really is a bit strange. They……”

General McHale impatiently waved his hand, “Alright, stop wasting words, there’s nothing for you here.”

General Cook’s face turned red and wanted to say a few more things, but seeing the impatient look on general McHale’s face, his heart turned cold. He couldn’t help giving a cold snort before walking out.

“Trash!” General McHale watched him leave and spat this out. Then he started looking over the reports that general Cook had left on the table.

After reading for a bit, general McHale couldn’t help knitting his brows.

Based on the combat reports, the Rudson Kingdom’s army really was a bit strange.

Because in the combat reports, whenever both sides fought, the Rudson Kingdom would attack with a dense rain of arrows. Then when they actually clashed, the Rudson Kingdom would always have more mobility than them, which made it hard for the Candra Empire’s soldiers to hit them. At the same time, they used these very strange longer distance attacks that were very powerful.

This caused both sides to never have proper contact and the Candra Empire suffered heavy casualties before being defeated.

“What kind of a joke is this!” General McHale threw the report on the table, “How could there be such a strange army? That Cook, doesn’t he even know how to make excuses?”

General McHale could understand that situation described in these reports, so he was just too lazy to pay attention to anything in the reports and decided to follow his own ideas.

He had brought the true third regiment of the empire’s army this time. Although they were also fifty thousand in numbers, whether it was their equipment or their training, they far surpassed the fifty thousand soldiers led by general Cook. Naturally they also had a higher battle strength.

This trash Cook had led a bunch of trash to attack the Rudson Kingdom, but that didn’t affect general McHale’s confidence in easily defeating the Rudson Kingdom.

When he was considering what strategy to use, a guard suddenly walked in.
