The judgment made by Baron Vasily was based on the report from the scouts who had gone out for reconnaissance.
"The enemy is advancing rapidly towards the third defensive line. The vanguard is expected to arrive in about two hours, while the rear guard is following closely with supplies. From what we have confirmed, the vanguard consists of around two thousand five hundred men, and the rear guard has about five hundred."
A total of three thousand troops.
It was not a small number.
If the Hector Kingdom established their position and began to unleash their flames, Baron Vasily believed he would inevitably face difficulties in defending.
Thus, he devised a plan to form a guerrilla unit to attack the enemy's rear guard.
"The southern front does not need to achieve victory against the Hector Kingdom. If we can hold out for just ten days, the main force from Cairo will arrive, and from that point, the situation will turn in our favor. Therefore, deploying a guerrilla unit to harass the enemy's rear guard is an excellent strategy. We must disrupt them as much as possible so that they cannot focus solely on the siege, and if the rear guard possesses supplies for the flames, we can destroy them and render the flames useless."
