Reincarnated as a boss tyrant in the game

Precisely because he had the life goal of revenge, Yakubu had always been very active on the northwestern battlefield.

Suddenly, Yakubu noticed something. He quickly made a hand gesture, summoning his companions.

Several rangers gathered around him, and they saw shallow tracks and hoofprints on the ground, obviously left by the enemy when they passed by.

Yakubu followed these traces and quickly determined the approximate location of the Second Corps of the Northwest Army.

Yakubu did not act immediately, but sent several members to the nearby highlands for further observation.

On the highlands, they could clearly see the enemy's camp in the distance, brightly lit and bustling with activity.

After confirming the location, Yakubu left the necessary surveillance personnel and quickly and silently withdrew from the scene, reporting this important information to His Highness Sauron.

Their actions were swift, accurate, and silent, like a shooting star in the night sky, flashing by.

This was why Sauron had decided on the unit's designation: Night Meteor.

Such a chuunibyou name could not have been Sauron's idea, but rather Yasuo's persistent begging that wrested the naming rights from Sauron's hands.

Beside the roaring bonfire, Sauron's eyes were fixed on the rough parchment spread out in front of him.

This map, hastily drawn with charcoal, although crude, revealed extraordinary information.

He frowned slightly, not because the ranger's poor drawing skills made the map difficult to recognize,

but quite the opposite, the map was drawn too well.

The mountain ranges, the winding of the small rivers, and even the location of the enemy's main force were marked accurately and meticulously on the map.

Every detail reflected the drawer's extraordinary observation and memory.

Sauron secretly marveled, such talent was rare among rangers.

"Did you draw this map?" Sauron raised his head, his eyes fixed on the ranger in front of him, his tone tinged with curiosity and inquiry.

The ranger stood up straight, his eyes flashing with confidence and determination. "Yes! Your Highness, this is what I drew based on my on-the-spot investigation."

"What's your name?" Sauron asked further, he began to develop a strong interest in this ranger.

"Yakubu!" the ranger replied in a loud voice.

Sauron nodded, a smile of approval on his face.

He handed the parchment map to the several chiliarchs next to him, "Take a look at this, too."

The chiliarchs passed the map around, their faces showing surprise and joy.

Andre, the chiliarch of the Royal Knights Guard, said with shining eyes: "Your Highness, this is a golden opportunity! With this map, we can launch a precise attack and catch the enemy off guard!"

Sauron took a deep breath, his eyes scanning every detail on the map again.

The upcoming battle would become more unusual because of this map.

Yakubu, the ranger who drew this map, would undoubtedly become a key figure in this battle.

"We are here, the enemy is here, how far is this distance?" Sauron stared at the map,

frowning slightly, and asked Yakubu.

Yakubu pondered for a moment, then replied with certainty: "Your Highness, it's about fifty kilometers."

After hearing the answer "fifty kilometers", Sauron quickly took out his self-made ruler and carefully measured it on the map.

His eyes moved back and forth between the ruler and the map, as if performing a precise calculation.

"You're really a genius, damn it." Sauron couldn't help but blurt out in joy.

The surrounding generals showed surprised expressions when they heard this rude remark.

Sauron, however, seemed unaware of the strangeness around him, still immersed in the world of the map.

He continued to calculate the proportions of each location, and the ruler in his hand drew precise lines on the map.

The scale of this hand-drawn map reached an astonishing 1:100,000, which was undoubtedly extremely advanced at the time.

Although it was a hand-drawn work, there were inevitably some small errors in the middle, but these errors were within acceptable limits.

Compared with the official maps drawn by the Empire, this map was undoubtedly much more detailed, at least there were no problems in terms of scale.

Sauron knew that this map would become an important reference for their operations.

"Very good, Yakubu! This Crown Prince will remember you. When we return to the capital, I will definitely reward you handsomely."

After Sauron finished speaking, he waved his hand, signaling Yakubu to step back.

It wasn't that Sauron was stingy, but now they were on the battlefield, and there was no reward to give. Even if he did, it would only become a burden in the upcoming war.

In order to hurry, even if the cavalry rested at night, they did not set up camp, but simply surrounded a circle of horses, so as to be ready to set off at any time.

"Fifty kilometers, if we travel overnight, without sleep, we can completely approach the enemy camp unnoticed by dawn."

Sauron's eyes swept across the map, and his finger stopped on a winding river, "Look, this is the Takla River, it is one of the most important rivers in the Northwest region. This river flows south from the North Windas Province through the Willis Province, and the total length of the main stream reaches 470 kilometers."

Andre and the other officers looked at each other, they didn't quite understand why Sauron suddenly talked about the river at the war meeting.

Seeing the confused expressions of the crowd, Sauron smiled wryly and shook his head. He realized that he needed to explain more clearly.

"My mention of the Takla River is not without purpose." Sauron explained, "According to our intelligence, the Second Corps of the Northwest is advancing quite fast. I expect that they will arrive at the bank of the Takla River by tomorrow evening. And this river will be our natural barrier and the key to our tactics."

Andre scratched his head and said bluntly: "Your Highness, I'm still confused. Can you tell us directly what we should do next?"

His words immediately resonated with the other officers, who nodded in agreement.

Sauron smiled and nodded, he knew he needed to make his plan clearer.

"My plan is that we must occupy favorable terrain before the enemy arrives at the Takla River.

Then, through a series of tactical means, we will force the enemy to camp in the riverbed."

Speaking of this, Sauron's eyes became sharp, "Once the enemy is forced to camp in the riverbed, we will have an excellent opportunity. The riverbed of the Takla River is narrow, and the terrain on both sides is dangerous, which will greatly limit the mobility of the cavalry. The enemy will definitely rely on the geographical advantages of the riverbed to confront us."
