"Okay, now it's time to hold a tactical meeting."

Faramir said coldly: "Commander Phoenix, you should sit down too."

"Yes!" Phoenix quickly found a seat and sat down, his body straight.

Faramir said lightly: "The information prepared by your adjutant for me is all temporary random pieces of information. There are a few information, even data from more than a hundred years ago."

Faramir threw the information in front of Phoenix.

Phoenix immediately broke out in cold sweat.

To be honest, he had never cared about collecting information at all. His main energy was to curry favor with these two adults.

Faramir said coldly: "I don't blame you either. After all, this is the first time, but if there is a second time, I will use military law to deal with you. At that time, you will be beaten by my guard with a whip in front of your own soldiers. Don't blame me for not giving you kindness."

Phoenix nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes! I remember! I promise there will be no next time!"

Faramir nodded, "Based on the intelligence analysis I have collected myself, Lord Dragon Slayer is in Carlyle and Anduin——"

Before he finished speaking, Greema frowned and opposed: "Master Faramir, the dragon slayer is a traitor. He colluded with the Demon Lord Sauron. How can you call him a lord!"

Faramir said lightly: "I still have different ideas about collusion with the Demon Lord Soren. I think that with the strength of the Dragon Slayer, if he really colluded with the Demon Lord Soren, then we would have been finished long ago and would not have done a leisurely discussion tactic. I am afraid there is any misunderstanding here, but no matter what, since my father gave me this order, I will come here to fight. Since I want to fight, I naturally have to work hard to win this war - although, our chances of winning are slim."

Greema frowned and said, "Mr. Faramir, how can you gain the ambition of the enemy and destroy the majesty of our own people? What does the chance of winning mean that you are slim? As the commander, you think so, how can you lead us to win this war?"

Faramir said lightly: "We must analyze objective issues with an objective attitude. Only by analyzing the strengths of both the enemy and us can we formulate more reasonable tactics and win this war as much as possible. I really want to win, but I want to tell you that this is basically difficult. We need not make any mistakes to win this war."

Phoenix cleared his throat, "Well, Lord Faramir, why don't you give me ten thousand people? I promise that before dark, we will break through the city defense of Carlyle. As long as their walls and fortifications are gone, their people's hearts will be dispersed and we will win."

Greema grinned, "Look at the war that can end in one day! I support Commander Phoenix."

Faramir asked, "Commander Phoenix, do you know how many defenders there are in Carlyle?"

Phoenix shrugged, "How many can it be? Carlyle is just a fishing village town. Later, with the development of the Anduin River water transportation, Carlyle and Anduin gradually became large. They are both trade-type cities and are not military fortresses at all. Even if there are defenders, I guess they will have at most 1,000 people, and they are all mobs."

Faramir smiled coldly, "It seems that you have been busy studying how to curry favor with others these days, and have never studied your own enemies at all. I won't talk about Anduin City, I will talk about Carlyle City. In order to compete with Anduin City for the waterwheel project, Carlyle City spent a lot of money to hire a knight army. The leader was Count William of the Kingdom of Arno. This knight team has at least 1,000 people, and they are all very strong."

Phoenix was surprised, "More than 1,000 people? Earl William? I seem to have heard of this person, he is a very decent count, but... is he still in Carlyle?"

Faramir asked, "Are you asking me? Commander?"

Phoenix's face suddenly turned red.

That's right, this should be the information he should have collected.

Faramir said lightly: "At the time, Carlyle City was to compete with Anduin for the waterwheel project, and Earl William entered Carlyle City, but the waterwheel project subsided and the two cities became friendly cities. Theoretically, Earl William should have left with his Knights. Unfortunately, I did not see any relevant information or information, so I have to assume that Earl William and his Knights are in Carlyle City."

"More than a thousand people seem to be nothing." Phoenix said in a low voice.

Faramir said coldly: "In addition to Count William's Knights, Anduin City should also send a guard to assist in defense. The commander of this unit should be the captain of Mino's guards. He can take out at least 500 soldiers in his hand."

Phoenix said: "One thousand plus five hundred. Even if Carlyle itself has five hundred soldiers, their total strength is only 2,000! Our strength is ten times that of theirs! We can directly break through their city walls with one move!"

"I agree with this tactic," said Greema.

He wanted to end the battle as soon as possible and then quickly leave the broken place.

Faramir said coldly: "What I just said is their basic force. The real power of Carlyle City is not the Knights in the hands of Count William, but... the Dragon Slayer and the Snow Emperor Squad. The combat ability of the Snow Emperor Squad is equivalent to 10,000 people, and the combat power of the Dragon Slayer is equivalent to 10,000 people. Then, plus the 2,000 people calculated before, the real strength of Carlyle City is two thousand more than us. So, on the surface, we are the superior force of the troops, but in fact, we are the inferior force of the combat power."

Greema said: "After saying so much, what are you going to fight with Lord Faramir? You won't surrender directly, right?"

Faramir said lightly: "Of course not, but we must make steady progress. Before we and Carlyle, there is a large dark forest, which is a place that is easy to be ambushed. So we should cut down all the trees there, clear out a passage, and divide the troops into three groups, encircle Carlyle and Anduin from both sides, completely cut off their connection with the outside world, and then trap them in the city. They are all trade cities, and there is no food and supplies purchased from outside, so they should not last long."

Greema was stunned, "How long does it take to achieve the effect?"

Faramir said in a deep voice: "According to the information I have in hand, it will take about three months. However, considering that the Dragon Slayer is smarter than ordinary people, the siege is likely to take more than half a year. Moreover, we have to face the possibility of a long front line, too slow supply, and being broken through by them at all times."
