This kind of expansion speed is quite astonishing.
You must know that before this, Lin Yuan led his troops to fight wild monsters for seven days before expanding the number of Dark Skeleton Knights from a few hundred to three thousand.
But now, just after a big battle, the number of Dark Skeleton Knights has increased by one-third.
Sure enough, war is the best means of development.
However, for Lin Yuan, this is not enough, and it is far from enough.
Even if the troops under his command were further expanded, they still did not reach even a quarter of the garrison.
But if he wants to successfully complete the hidden mission and withstand the last round of the Orcs' attack, the strength of his troops must be at least twice that of the garrison!
Lin Yuan now knew why the lord in his previous life brought a full 2,000 units of eighth-level troops, plus an additional 6,000 units of seventh-level troops, and almost wiped out his entire army.
Because this task simply cannot be completed by one person.
Just as Lin Yuan was thinking about what to do next, a figure suddenly walked in front of him.
Lin Yuan looked up and found that the person walking over was none other than Li Qingshan.
He asked in surprise: "What's the matter with you?"
"Boss, I think I can give it a try."
Li Qingshan hesitated for a moment and finally spoke.
"Try what?"
Lin Yuan stared at him, already having a guess in his heart.
"I want to try to see if I can reduce some casualties if the command is given to me."
Li Qingshan's answer did not exceed Lin Yuan's expectations at all.
After all, in his previous life, the man in front of him was known as a 'tactical genius'.
Many lords who have fought against Li Qingshan have said frankly——
"Don't fight Li Qingshan without more than twice the strength. Otherwise, you will definitely die ugly."
This is the tactical accomplishment of this man.
Seeing Lin Yuan's silence, Li Qingshan immediately became a little anxious: "Boss, believe me, I can really do it."
"I trust you."
Lin Yuan finally came to his senses. After taking a deep look at Li Qingshan, he asked calmly: "How many casualties can you reduce?"
"Between twenty and twenty-five percent!"
Li Qingshan quickly reported a range.
Then, he seemed to think that this number was not satisfactory to him. He gritted his teeth and said again: "If all the troops can obey my orders 100%, I can reduce the casualty rate by 30%!"
Chen Bei on the side was stunned when he heard this, and subconsciously said: "I'll go, is it true or not?"
"If you can really do it, then you will be a military god!"
Even Li Bingchu had some doubts and said in a low voice: "Qingshan, it's not that we don't believe you, it's just that we are the disadvantaged side on this battlefield."
"Once a decision-making error occurs, it will be irreversible. Can you understand that?"
"I see."
Li Qingshan nodded, but still insisted: "But... I have this confidence."
"Before entering "Age of Lords", I played many war games and wrote many guides. All my game IDs use this one. If you don't believe it, you can check it. Just give me one.
Chance……"
However, before Li Qingshan could finish speaking, Lin Yuan interrupted him directly.
"No need, I believe you."
"I'm going to help you talk to William and see if we can get him to give up part of his command."
After hearing this, Li Qingshan's eyes lit up instantly.
Since ancient times, good generals have been easy to find, but wise leaders have been hard to find.
To be honest, even if Lin Yuan rejected him directly, it would be excusable.
After all, no one dares to joke about such an important hidden mission.
Just like what Li Bingchu said, they are now at a disadvantage. Once they make a mistake, it means they will lose the whole game.
However, if Lin Yuan rejects him this time, then Li Qingshan will not choose to stay in the [Hope] Guild from now on.
But all talented people have their own pride.
Since you have rejected me, there is no need for my light to bloom in front of you.
Fortunately... Lin Yuan did not disappoint him.
Even Li Qingshan himself did not expect that the other party would choose to believe him unconditionally.
This kind of trust made him feel extremely moved, even... grateful.
Li Qingshan has heard a saying that a scholar dies for his bosom friend.
Lin Yuan is his confidant.
Before Li Qingshan could speak, Lin Yuan had already turned around and asked for the command authority from William.
However, the right to command an army is not so easy to ask for.
Since ancient times, military power has been the inverse of the general.
When you meet some authoritarian generals, once you dare to encroach on the military power in his hands, he will dare to chop off your head with a sword.
Even if you win military power, you may not be recognized by the soldiers below.
After all, every army has faith and soul.
Every soldier is a living person with his own thoughts and personality, not a puppet controlled by others.
Fortunately, the current situation is a bit more special.
Whether it is William as the commander or the soldiers in the garrison, they all have one common purpose, which is to defend Carlton Fortress and protect the Bauhinia Kingdom!
But even so, the negotiations between Lin Yuan and William did not go smoothly.
It wasn't that William was reluctant to hand over command, but that he was worried.
He was worried and left the fate of the Bauhinia Kingdom in the hands of an outsider.
Fortunately, after Lin Yuan's various persuasion, William finally made a concession.
He allocated a quarter of his troops to Li Qingshan and asked him to take command.
If Li Qingshan can really do what he promised, William will consider completely handing over command.
In fact, decentralization of the military is also a taboo on the battlefield.
Because if an army is forcibly divided into two armies and commanded by two different people, it will easily cause chaos if coordination and unity are not achieved.
If they work well together, they are two swords.
If you don't cooperate well, you will be in trouble.
This places extremely high demands on the commander's personal abilities.
Fortunately, Lin Yuan has absolute trust in Li Qingshan.
He believed that this man, known as the 'tactical genius', would not let him down.
Sure enough, after Lin Yuan told Li Qingshan the news, the latter's face, instead of showing any trace of disappointment, actually became more excited.
At this moment, Li Qingshan's eyes were like a lion that had found its prey. He lowered his voice and said in a deep voice: "Boss, don't worry... I will definitely not let you down."
