A Saiyan's journey through various anime and manga worlds

"Let me see the strength of your Garmania Kingdom." Lu Yi smirked, then turned to Brut and said, "Brut."

"exist."

"Pass down the order to coordinate with Garmania's operation. Let them show off their power first; the real battle is yet to come."

"Yes."

After Lu Yi gave the order, he went to the bow of the warship to watch the battle. Lu Yi also wanted to take this opportunity to see Albi Subaru's strength. If he could get accurate information, it would be a huge gain and would help minimize the country's losses in the later battles.

During the battle, Lu Yi discovered that Albi's army was completely incapable of resistance and was being driven back by Galmania. The situation on the battlefield was one-sided, and Albi's army was soon annihilated by Galmania. Although Galmania also lost two warships, it was nothing to them, who were wealthy and powerful.

"Strange, what exactly is Albino doing? Is he just sending this army to their deaths in vain?" Lu Yi frowned and wondered, "Or is this army just here to test our strength?"

"Forget it, let's report the situation here to Tristine first. If it really doesn't work, then we'll conquer it with overwhelming force." With that thought, Lu Yi had a soldier report the situation to Tristine.

When Torristin learned of the situation here a week after Lu Yi started the war, he posted the intelligence in the city, which excited the people of Torristin even more.

"Long live Tristine!"

"Long live Her Majesty the Queen."

. . . .

"What happened? Why are people so excited?" Louise and Saito asked, looking at the excited people as they walked down the street.

"It's a great victory in the first battle!" Louise and Saito looked at the announcement on the wall, and Louise said happily to Saito.

"What does it say?" Cai Ren asked.

“Well… a week after the start of the war, the combined forces of Tristan and Galmania, with about 500 warships, encountered the enemy fleet before landing at Albirex, inflicting a devastating blow on the enemy, while our casualties were minimal. That’s what it says,” Louise said.

"Is that so?" he said, and then left.

Meanwhile, in the palace, Henrietta was carefully examining the battle report sent from the front lines, nodding in satisfaction at the victory.

Chapter 19: The Battle of Sosgotta

At the front lines in Albi'a, inside the military camp of the Tristine Army, Lu Yi was discussing with Brutus how to capture the capital of Albi'a.

"Marshal, if we want to attack Albino's capital, Lundinium, we must first capture the city of Sosgota," Brutus said to Lu Yi.

"Where is the city of Sosgota?" Lu Yi asked.

"Marshal, please look," Brut said to Lu Yi, pointing to the map. "This is our current location—Vises Naval Base. And this is our final destination, the capital of Albi'a—Lundinim. Right now, the enemy's defensive line is in front of them in the city of Sosgota, right here." Brut pointed to the locations on the map one by one.

"Okay, go on."

"Yes, but if we attack this city, our army will face tremendous resistance. If we want to break through, we can only overwhelm them with numbers, and maybe then we will succeed."

"Well, it seems that a direct assault won't work. They have the advantage of the terrain, and if we launch a direct assault, our losses will be too severe. Even if we win, it will be a Pyrrhic victory, and then any thousand-man squad could wipe us out."

"So what should we do?"

"We lack the right timing and terrain; all we can rely on is the people. You might not understand this, so let me put it simply: if a direct assault won't work, we'll outsmart them," Lu Yi said, pointing to his head. In the last battle, Lu Yi discovered that the people of this world all employed a head-on, confrontational approach, with virtually no strategy whatsoever.

"Marshal, stop beating around the bush. Just tell us in detail what we need to do!"

"Alright, listen carefully. Our first task is to lower their guard, then lure them to our pre-arranged ambush location, and then wipe them out in one fell swoop."

"Although I don't quite understand, we trust the Marshal. Just give us your orders when the time comes."

"Yes, His Majesty will be here in two days to personally command the army. This battle must be fought brilliantly. We cannot let Tristine or Her Majesty the Queen down, understand?"

"Yes."

"Also, I can't take all the troops with me. We brought about 200 warships in total, but I only took 50 with me. The rest were left to protect His Majesty."

After devising the plan, Lu Yi led 50 warships toward Sosgeta City early the next morning, while the remaining warships stayed behind to await Her Majesty the Queen's arrival.

Two days later...

Henrietta arrived at the Vesses naval port and summoned Louise and Saito. Meanwhile, Lu Yi had already led his army to the outskirts of Sosgota. Upon arrival, Lu Yi remained still and simply confronted Albi Subaru's army.

"What did you say? Sebastian only brought 50 warships and he wants to attack Sosgota City?" Henrietta exclaimed as she stood up abruptly upon hearing the report from her subordinates.

"Yes...yes."

"Why didn't you stop him?"

"Lord Sebastian has said that he will definitely conquer Sosgota City, Your Majesty, please rest assured."

“Nonsense! Louise, Saito, it’s up to you two this time. You must stop Sebastian. We can’t let him continue this nonsense.” Henrietta said to Louise and Saito.

"Understood." After receiving the order, Louise and Saito immediately headed towards Sosgeta City.

In the pitch-black night, the war in the city of Sosgota had already broken out...

"How are the preparations going over there?" Lu Yi asked a middle-aged man in his thirties beside him.

"Everything is ready, just waiting for Albi Subaru to take the bait."

"Marshal, will Albi Subaru really take the bait?"

"Reporting to Marshal, Albi's army is on its way here." At this moment, a soldier ran in and reported to Lu Yi.

"Marshal, the garrison at Albino has taken the bait!" the middle-aged man excitedly told Lu Yi upon hearing the soldier's report.

"Proceed according to plan. There can't be any mistakes this time. But to be honest, I didn't expect them to fall for it so easily. However, we can't be careless either. Be careful that they might have a trap as well."

"Yes."

Since Lu Yi settled here, he has been using the tactic of feigning weakness to lull the other party into a false sense of security and make them attack him. Unexpectedly, the other party actually took the bait, which surprised Lu Yi. Lu Yi then began to work on the next steps of his plan. As long as Albi Subaru could do as he envisioned, this time he would definitely succeed.

"Well, are you ready?" Lu Yi asked several generals beside him inside the military camp.

Everything is ready.

"Very good. Most of the men have already reached their ambush positions. There are only a few thousand men in the military palace. What we need to do now is not to win, but to lose. Lure them all to the ambush positions we have prepared beforehand. Do you understand?"

"understood."

. . . .

"Clatter, clatter, clatter..." The sound of horses' hooves came from not far away.

"Alright, they're here, everyone be careful!" Lu Yi said upon hearing the faint sound of horses' hooves in the distance.

To Lu Yi's surprise, Albi's army actually attacked. Tristine's army was executing perfectly according to Lu Yi's pre-arranged plan. Lu Yi and his men were being driven back by Albi's army, seemingly on the verge of collapse. However, all of this was within Lu Yi's plan without any errors. With Tristine's defeat, how could Albi's army let such a good opportunity pass by? Of course, they relentlessly pursued Lu Yi and his men. This was exactly the effect Lu Yi wanted. He lured Albi's army into a canyon.

"General, there is no road ahead, but the people of Tristine have also disappeared."

"What? Oh no! We've fallen into a trap! Retreat!"

"Kill them..."

"Charge!"

Upon hearing this sound, Albi's army immediately panicked. Without order, defeat was only a matter of time. Finally, after Tristin captured the general, Albi's army surrendered.

Chapter Twenty: Crisis on the Front Lines

Inside the military camp at the Torristin garrison outside the city of Sosgota.

"What are our casualties?" Lu Yi asked the people below.

"Of the 50000 men we brought, nearly 10000 have been lost. The enemy's numbers were about the same as ours, and we wiped out most of them. The rest surrendered, and we even captured one of their generals," a soldier respectfully reported to Lu Yi.

"Sigh... Despite occupying such advantageous terrain, they still suffered so many losses. Albi Subaru's army is indeed formidable. If a direct confrontation were to occur, Tristín would undoubtedly be defeated." Upon hearing the report from below, Lu Yi sighed and thought to himself.

"Marshal, we can say that we have won a great victory this time," Brut said happily.

Lu Yi shook his head and didn't speak, but said to those below, "Go and bring in the general from Albi'ang that we captured today."

"Yes." After saying that, he went out, and not long after, the soldiers brought the prisoner into the tent.

"Kneel down!" the two soldiers shouted as they brought in the prisoner. The general of Albi'ang was a tough guy, looking like he would rather die than submit.

"Alright, alright, let him do whatever he wants. You two can leave now." Lu Yi waved his hand, dismissing the two soldiers. Then he sat there leisurely, neither hitting nor scolding them, nor asking any questions.

Seeing Lu Yi sitting there so leisurely, the general below became extremely anxious and roared at Lu Yi, "What exactly do you want to do? Kill me or torture me, it's all up to you."

"Oh dear, you're so old and still so hot-tempered. Don't worry, don't worry, you're almost in your grave anyway. But speaking of which, why didn't you die on the battlefield? Isn't it said that leaders should set an example? It's really annoying that I caught you so easily." Lu Yi said with a smile to the general.

"You...you..." The general blushed and couldn't speak after being spoken to like that by Lu Yi.

"Alright, alright, I won't tease you anymore. The people below will treat you well. Men, take him away and give him a proper welcome." As Lu Yi spoke, he ordered the two soldiers to take him away again.

"It'll be soon, won't it? Well, we've been in this world for so long, it's time to leave." At this moment, only Lu Yi remained in the tent, gazing at the moonlight in the sky, and murmured to himself.

"Reporting to the Marshal." Just then, a voice interrupted Lu Yi's thoughts.

"what's up?"

"Her Majesty the Queen has arrived at the Vessus Naval Base, but Miss Louise, who came to assist the Marshal, and her familiar, Mr. Saito, are missing. Her Majesty hopes that Your Excellency can help find them." After reporting, the soldier stepped aside to await orders.

"Tch, it's them again. Can't they give me less trouble? Send the order to send a portion of the Griffin team to search." Lu Yi instructed the soldier.

"Yes." He said and walked out.

The next morning, Lu Yi summoned Brut to discuss how to attack Sosgta City again. Lu Yi and Brut looked at the map on the table with helpless expressions. No matter how they looked at it, Sosgta City's defenses were so impenetrable that they had no way to attack. Whether it was in terms of numbers or strength, the enemy was far superior to them. No matter how they fought, they would suffer losses. Moreover, the enemy had even brought in a magic legion, which made all of Lu Yi's plans impossible to implement.

"Sigh... I don't know where to begin," Lu Yi sighed.

"Report..." At that moment, a soldier rushed in.

"explain."

"Reporting to Marshal, a message from the front lines indicates that the enemy seems to have added some kind of magical item to some of the wells. Most of our troops have been captured by the enemy, and Her Majesty the Queen is in imminent danger. We request immediate return to provide support."

"Damn it, are all the people in Albi Subaru on performance-enhancing drugs? They're so strong! And are all the people in Vess's military alley just sitting around doing nothing?" Lu Yi said, looking utterly disappointed.

"Report."

"explain."

"Reports from the front lines indicate that the Galmanian army has been repelled by the Albi'o army and suffered heavy losses. Her Majesty the Queen has ordered the entire army to return to Tristine."

"Report."

"Damn it, here we go again! When will this end? Speak up if you have something to say, or shut up if you have something to say!" Lu Yi couldn't take the barrage of information anymore and roared.
