Chapter 60 Arming a Knight King

Chapter 60 Arming a Knight King
In this world, plans are always easier to propose than to implement.

After all, anyone can spout grand principles.
When a concept is expanded to a higher level of military and political affairs, even ordinary people can offer their opinions on such a plan.

but,
The real test of a person comes when the problem is broken down into specific implementation steps.

#
Sir Hector's status as the second son was insufficient to command 30,000 defeated soldiers, let alone to control the 5,000 elite cavalrymen still remaining among them.

And to become a king, to become the King of Knights, he certainly has the qualifications.

but,

How can we utilize this identity? How can we get the routed troops to quickly acknowledge this identity and rapidly regroup this force?
How could he get this army, which had never seen Suya before, to obey his command?
At the round table in the council chamber,
The four people present fell into deep thought at the same time.

With the Conqueror King's army at hand, the group had no time to think about what would happen next. For example, as Lukan had said before, revealing the king's identity at this point could very well lead to them being killed by their own people who coveted the throne.

And now,
Lucan didn't emphasize this point again, which was also inappropriate. He quickly understood what Melly meant, looked at Sua, and analyzed:

“At this time, having our king disguise himself as ‘king’ is indeed a solution.”

"However, we are different from Spitaminis. Spitaminis himself had considerable prestige in the area, and his troops were all gathered by his own hands in response to his call to resist Macedonia."

Suya nodded and said in a deep voice:

“We don’t have that capability, so we need to take control of this defeated army first, rather than him.”

"And it has to be fast!"

"Given the speed at which the Conqueror King's army is encircling us, we have at most five days to break out. Within two days, we must take control of this force."

Suya looked at the group and asked, "What are your thoughts?"

Hearing this,

Lucan, Dagonet, and Meryl exchanged glances, all looking somewhat bewildered.

Before this,

Lucan served as a prophet in King Uther's court.
This was not an empty title; it involved handling the internal affairs of the royal court and being available at any time to answer King Uther's call to help him deal with his various, absurd, and unreasonable personal demands.

It can be said that Lukan has strong domestic management skills. He is in charge of the food, drink, and travel routes of this 300-person team, and he manages them in an orderly manner. He is equivalent to a top-level advisor on the domestic affairs side.

Dagnet,

This man has served dozens of monarchs, and his skill in flattery has reached a high level, never giving anyone the feeling of being offended. In addition, due to his superb ability to flatter, he can always rise to a middle position under various lords, thus having rich experience in leading troops, but the armies he leads are not large in size.

And Mary,
Although she's a notorious gambler, she has a mysterious background and a noble demeanor. She possesses a high-level character model that gives people a reliable feeling. As long as you ignore the fact that she's a gambler and often comes up with some bizarre ideas and wild thoughts, she can also make quick judgments and take action in times of crisis, making her a qualified buff princess.

These three, although each possessed unique skills,

However, none of them had experience commanding large-scale armies.
Although Lucan and Meli, who appear to be more educated, can offer some seemingly decent advice at crucial moments, it is all just theoretical.

simply put,
This is just a makeshift operation.

Suya scanned the three faces with her gaze, and seeing that they remained silent, she felt the pressure on her shoulders increase even more.

a long time,

He let out a long breath, raised his head, and made a decision.

Although he was somewhat forced into this role, as a modern person who dabbled in this field out of interest, he was able to find some alternative solutions by standing on the shoulders of historical giants.

At this point, as the team leader, you should not offer advice, but rather concrete and feasible solutions:
“Dagonit, you have experience in leading an army, so I will entrust these 30,000 men to you.”

Before Dagonit could say anything, Sua raised her hand to stop him, saying directly:
"You just need to lead the troops and carry out the specific actions according to the plan I proposed."

"You need to break up and reorganize the 30,000-strong force, establish new unit numbers, or, in British terms, establish a warband, and effectively control the gathered troops in our hands."

"Especially those five thousand cavalry!"

"As for the rest, such as how to gather the defeated troops, you don't need to worry about that."

Dagonet breathed a sigh of relief. Although it was a huge challenge for him, at least he no longer felt lost and clueless, like trying to see through a fog.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" He immediately knelt on one knee and accepted the order in a deep voice.

Suya turned her head and looked at Lukan.

“Lukan, you are good at internal affairs, so I will entrust you with the management of all matters concerning these 30,000 men except for marching and fighting. At the same time, you will assist me in formulating a breakout plan, breaking it down, and working with Dagonet to implement specific tasks to each battle group.”

"In addition, you must select the absolute elite from the 30,000 men, and form a 3,000-strong guard regiment, all cavalry, with the 300 we have already gathered as the core, to carry out the tasks that I will directly assign next."

Lukan frowned slightly, but immediately knelt down and accepted the order in a deep voice:
"Yes, my king."

Sua finally looked at Meryl.
"Merry."

"Eh—me?"

Mary's heart skipped a beat; she couldn't think of anything she could do.

"Are you a magician? Can you make magic props?"

"Will do."

Suya nodded and continued to give instructions:

"Use the available materials to make as many military flags as possible, with a blue background and red dragon pattern, like the one I have in my hand."

"Create some magic props that can amplify sound."

"Then, go to the castle's armory and find me a ceremonial sword."

Suya stared intently at Meryl and asked, "Is this even possible?"

After thinking for a while, Meili realized that the military flag could be faked using illusion magic, the pelt of the deformed bird she had obtained earlier could be used as a casting material, the principle of making amplification magic props was not difficult, and there were materials available near the castle.

She nodded. "No problem."

Suya continued, "How long will it take?"

Meryl estimated, "Two hours?"

"It will be completed within an hour."

Sua then looked at Dagonet and gave him a second order:
“Dagonit, go tell our three hundred men.”

"We'll set off in one hour!"

Suya paused, looked at the three of them, and said sincerely:

"Please, everyone."

After saying this, Suya decisively turned around, strode towards the door, and ordered without turning back as she went:
"Lukan, come with me now."

"You've had a lot of contact with King Uther, so could you help me figure out what I should wear to look like a king?"

The three people in the room looked at each other, then simultaneously turned to look at Suana's back as she decisively began to act.

Lukan paused for a moment, then couldn't help but think to himself:
