Everyone nodded in agreement, praising Soren's strategy as both clever and practical, which made them admire the young prince's wisdom and courage.

In this way, the powerful military force could not only effectively deter other rebellious princes but also exert greater combat power in actual combat.

“Of course, these are just illusory assumptions. In reality, when dealing with Prince Correll, we still have to rely on Lord Breyer's strength. As long as he can defeat Prince Correll head-on on the battlefield, the other princes will surely surrender upon seeing the wind, ” Soren said with seriousness and expectation.

Everyone agreed with Soren's view, knowing that although strategies and tactics play a key role in war, the ultimate decisive factor is still the actual combat on the battlefield.

Emperor Gustav turned to Breyer, his eyes filled with expectation and trust in this Minister of Military Affairs, and said, "Breyer, are you confident about the upcoming war?"

Breyer puffed out his chest and raised his head, answering in a loud and confident voice: “Your Majesty! As long as Mons Fortress is safe, I have full confidence in defeating Prince Correll's army!”

Hearing Breyer's answer, Soren sighed inwardly.

According to the plot of that game, Mons Fortress would fall on the fifth day of Prince Correll's siege. There was no other reason than that Prince Correll's spies had already infiltrated the fortress.

Since Prince Correll dared to launch a rebellion, he must have made sufficient preparations and had confidence.

In the game, Breyer's reinforcements were ambushed by Prince Correll while reinforcing Mons Fortress, suffering heavy losses.

Soren couldn't say these things. He had no evidence and couldn't claim to have the ability to predict the future, right?

Soren took a deep breath, burying these worries deep in his heart.

"Good! Breyer, listen! I order you to lead the Third Army to quickly reinforce Mons Fortress, and leave those deceptive matters to Soren.” King Gustav issued the order decisively. He knew the strategic importance of Mons Fortress and would not waste time on any trivial matters.

A wry smile appeared on Soren's face, and he thought to himself: This "deceptive matters" is too direct, isn't it? I'm using the double bluff strategy in military tactics.

However, the order had been issued, and he had no time to dwell on these details.

"Yes!" Breyer responded and immediately turned to prepare for the expedition.

"Neumann!" Gustav turned to another general, "You immediately prepare your troops and conduct a strict inspection of the entire imperial capital. Absolutely no spies can leak any information."

Neumann nodded solemnly, "Yes, Your Majesty!" He immediately turned and left to carry out the king's orders.

"Rhine!" Gustav continued to issue orders, "Take out all the weapons and equipment from the inner treasury. We must arm two legions as soon as possible to deal with any unforeseen circumstances that may arise."

"Understood!" Rhine responded and hurriedly left to begin preparing weapons and equipment.

Finally, Gustav turned to Prime Minister Robert, "Prime Minister Robert, then I will trouble you to personally go to Fort Coremi to oversee the situation and ensure its safety."

Robert smiled slightly, "Your Majesty, rest assured, I will do my best to defend Fort Coremi." After speaking, he also turned and left to prepare to go to the fortress.

Under King Gustav's orderly command, the entire empire began to operate in a tense and orderly manner, making full preparations for the upcoming war.

Coming out of the council hall, Soren's mind was filled with the matter of General Breyer's reinforcement of Mons Fortress and the unexpected ambush by Prince Correll.

The moonlight shone through the clouds onto the ancient and solemn stone steps of the council hall, making Soren's footsteps seem a little heavy.

Those were hundreds of thousands of living lives, and even more so, the elite of the empire.

Soren repeatedly thought about the details of this battle.

General Breyer, a veteran general, why would he be successfully ambushed by Prince Correll while en route to reinforcement?

In the game, the fall of Mons Fortress was only briefly mentioned, followed by the news of Breyer being ambushed. Soren didn't know the details of this part of the plot.

Logically speaking, Breyer was a seasoned veteran. Even if he didn't know that Mons Fortress had fallen, he would be cautious on the march. To ambush a legion, at least fifty to sixty thousand troops would be needed. Such a large-scale troop movement couldn't possibly leave no traces.

Was it a mistake in intelligence?

Or a loophole in strategy?

Soren took a deep breath, trying to calm his agitated mood.

Prince Correll had always been the biggest obstacle to the empire's stability. He was cunning, resourceful, and always able to accurately capture the empire's weaknesses and strike with thunderous force.

In the game, even if Mons Fortress was recaptured by Breyer, the empire spent five full years to force Prince Correll into a desperate situation and commit suicide in order to eliminate the Northwest rebels.

Soren secretly made up his mind that he must re-examine the strategy of this battle and strengthen intelligence gathering to ensure that Breyer could gain the upper hand in the contest with Prince Correll.

Soren, who was deep in thought, was awakened by two calls.

“Seventh Prince Your Highness!”

“Prince Soren!”

Soren raised his head and looked at the two people standing in front of him. They were Irene, the head maid of Royal Concubine Maria, and Aiqimili, the head maid of Royal Concubine Maria. They were both standing in front of him, obviously here for something.

Irene's face carried a hint of anxiety, but when she saw that Aiqimili was also present, she tried her best to restrain her emotions.

Soren knew that the simultaneous appearance of these two head maids must mean that the events of today's grand court meeting had spread to the harem.

“Royal Concubine wants to see you!” The two head maids said almost in unison.

Soren frowned. Royal Concubine Maria's summons at this time was probably to take this opportunity to ease the relationship between mother and son, while Royal Concubine Maria was worried that he would return to Royal Concubine Maria's embrace.

Seeing Soren's hesitation, Irene became anxious and blurted out: "Prince Soren, Royal Concubine fainted in the palace today. She especially wants to see you."

When Soren heard that Royal Concubine Maria had fainted, his heart tightened. He no longer hesitated and immediately followed Irene, hurrying to Maria Palace. From the moment he stepped towards Maria Palace, he showed his future attitude. His concern and sense of responsibility for Royal Concubine Maria made him unable to ignore it.

If Royal Concubine Maria had fully supported him, there would be no him now.

Aiqimili looked at Soren's departing back and sighed slightly. She knew that her trip had been fruitless and could only wave her hand, leading the maids around her back to Maria Palace.
