BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1751 Plan
It turned out Theo wanted them to make a plan to make them feel complacent about themselves. They ended up lowering their guards because of it.
"Well, I think this is enough… You should know from your experience already that you shouldn\'t let your guard down, no matter who is leading you. That kind of attitude can cost a lot of lives. Understood?" Theo looked at them coldly. He was angry because they were careless this whole time.
As someone who had reached their position from the bottom, they didn\'t say anything about Theo\'s remark, knowing it was their fault.
Every single one of them seemed to be aware of it and wanted to change, making sure they didn\'t repeat it.
Theo ultimately dropped the case and said, "Alright. Let\'s wrap it here. As for your plan, I know you\'re trying to devise a plan of your own. That plan might be of any use, so I don\'t mind listening to them. Why don\'t we have an introduction first? State your name and plan briefly, starting from you."
Theo chose the youngest among them, a 70 years old female general. "Hello, Sir. My name is Yesenia from Mexico. I have experienced a lot of battlefields, mainly in defense operations there.
"As for my plan, I\'m planning to set up several defense lines that we can easily retreat to. The monsters are enraged because they have been kicked out of their homes, so it\'s best to avoid direct confrontation."
Theo nodded and pointed at the second youngest one. "How about you?"
"My name is Nicholas. Although my rank is the lowest among them, I still have a few things I can be proud of, including my plan. The defense lines are good, but we\'re talking about the monsters here… They\'re pretty brainless, so I believe we have to destroy them one at a time with some explosives to reduce our casualties."
Theo nodded and pointed at the third guy.
"Hello, how\'s it going? My name is Spencer from Canada. I have been tasked with protecting the Green City. It is one of the major cities in Canada, specifically, the monsters that would attack the base.
"To be honest, I don\'t mind taking on any kind of plans. As long as you\'re leading us, I don\'t feel like losing. However, I don\'t want to leech off your strength.
"Hence, my decision is to direct the enemies into difficult terrain. The monsters aren\'t that intelligent, so we have to take advantage of their inability to think to secure a safe place where we can bombard them with our firepower."
Theo understood that his plan would probably be the most concrete one so far. So, he pointed at the impatient old woman, wanting to know what she thought about the plan.
Surprisingly, she only said one thing. "Smash!"
"…" All of them were bewildered, not understanding what she said at all.
"I am Kayla and my plan is to smash them head-on. Although this might look rash, with you leading us, I believe we can crush the enemies easily. That\'s why rather than having a complicated plan that we don\'t know whether it\'s going to work, it\'s better to overwhelm them with our extraordinary strength."
"As for the last one, I guess it\'s you. What do you have in your mind?" Theo asked.
"First of all, my name is Haivan. Before explaining my plan, I believe we have to go back to the very start. I actually wondered why you volunteered to lead the army despite the fact that this place is in the opposite direction of your home, and there is a conflict between you and the military.
"I don\'t know if you want to answer it or not, but I\'ll tell you about my speculation. I believe that you have seen something that we can\'t. That\'s the only reason why you\'re volunteering.
"And the fact that you go all the way here means the problem is not small. That\'s why I believe fighting head-on will probably be the last thing we want.
"Instead, we have to understand the opponents this time and bide our time to launch our counterattack. In other words, we will have attrition warfare for a while before utilizing all our strength to cripple them."
Theo was satisfied with the last one. There was no reason for Theo to participate in this battle unless there was a huge risk that would come into this place.
Hence, he believed there was a huge threat that would come to this place where Theo\'s power was necessary.
The only way to solve that danger was to let Theo preserve his strength as long as possible.
What they didn\'t know was that he took this opportunity to judge their characters and their judgment.
After listening to them, he said, "There will be an opponent stronger than anything you\'ve faced in your life. And that\'s the reason why I\'m here…
"However, it\'s impossible to find them for the time being. What we have to do here is to set up a few layers of defense by taking advantage of the terrain.
"I\'ll leave the defense to Yesenia and Spencer. Are twenty thousand soldiers enough to create the defense lines?" Theo asked.
Yesenia and Spencer looked at each other and nodded their heads. "Yes, Sir. I believe we can finish this within three days with the amount of personnel."
"Good." Theo paused for a moment, glancing at Nicholas. "We also have a lot of heavy machinery from the headquarters, so I\'ll leave them in your hand, Nicholas. Cooperate with them to place them in a position where you can support the soldiers."
"Understood." Nicholas nodded with a serious expression.
"Then, Kayla will prepare her assault team when the monsters begin to retreat. Last but not least, Haivan… You\'ll follow me later and help me with something."
"U-Understood!" Kayla was dumbfounded when Haivan was chosen. But she couldn\'t object because Theo had begun explaining his plan. "This is the detail of the defense."
