The operation to eradicate the bandits was set quickly, scheduled for two dayster.
These two days are for preparations before the operation.
The Bandits’ camp was only 30 kilometers away from Orleans City, which the Unicorn Legion could reach in half an hour. Thus, there was no need to prepare food and other logistics.
However, ording to the Knight Order’s rules, before mounting any operation, Tina had to secure the approval of over seventy percent of the high-ranking members of the Knight Order.
Therefore, early the following day, Su Yu took the initiative to meet with Grace, the former legions’ leader, in her office.
In her office, Grace looked at Su Yu with a slight frown on her face, “Tell me, why are you here?”
Grace had a very bad impression of Su Yu.
She thought that Tina’s actions during the grandpetition in Orleans City were influenced by Su Yu, so naturally, she did not have a favorable impression of him.
But considering that Su Yu was the princess’s special envoy, she dared not say anything and just suppressed her anger.
Su Yu took out a document from his bag and ced it on the desk in front of her, “Lady Grace, this is the operation to eliminate the bandits which Tina is nning. Please take a look. I also hope you can convince the other leaders to agree with Tina’s operation.”
“Oh? To eradicate the bandits?” Grace was a little surprised as she picked up the document to read.
After reading only a few pages, she closed the document and threw it back on the desk, “No, I cannot agree to this operation.”
“Why?”
Grace red at Su Yu, “Do you really need to ask me? The document you’ve prepared is full of lies. How on earth could I agree?”
Grace opened the document and pointed at the tape on the first page:
“Tina supposedly became a strategist under renowned military expert Lambert Scarlet within a week? And she has even defeated the President of the Chess Federation, Mnn, in a Chess simtion? Do you think I’m that easy to fool? You even dare to write such absurd things in the document?!”
“But everything written is true.” Su Yu shrugged.
Although it seemed unbelievable, all of it was, indeed, true.
“Take your ‘truth’ and y with it somewhere else! I have work to do, don’t bother me.” Grace tossed the document back to Su Yu andmanded him to leave.
“Well, if you really don’t believe it, how about this,” Su Yu suggested, “You and Tina have a fair chess match. If Tina loses, the operation will be formally cancelled. However, if Tina wins, you will convince the other high-ranking officials to allow the operation.”
“Tsk, you think I would lose?” Grace rose from her seat and looked at Su Yu with scorn, “Fine, it’s about time someone taught both you and Tina a lesson. Remember, pridees before a fall. You think that with the support of the princess and the guardian, you can do whatever you want?”
“Certainly, it won’te to that, this way, please.” Su Yu, not in the mood for further argument, guided her towards Tina’s residence.
At Tina’s residence, in the main hall of chapter 24, Grace and Tina began an official chess match.
In addition to Su Yu, all the high-ranking officials who were able toe, did. In total, there were twelve participants.
The high-ranking officials watch thepeting duo while exchanging whispers:
“Tina is really wealthy, she actually bought such a big ‘Spiritual Power Sand Table’ for her home.”
“But ording to Tina, this was the spoil she got when she defeated the president of the Chess Federation in a chess simtion.”
“Defeat president of the Chess Federation? Ha, she’s joking, right? Even if Tina has been ying chess since she was little, she couldn’t possibly be that powerful!”
“Who knows? Do you think she can defeat Lady Grace?”
“She has a zero percent chance of winning! Lady Grace has the highest skill in chess throughout the legion. Additionally, she’s very experienced so her losses won’t even exceed 50%.”
“Tina’s finally about to take a hit for once, I can’t wait!”
Although the high-ranking officials of the Knight Order remained expressionless, they were all secretly gleeful, hoping Tina would embarrass herself.
Grace also asked with slight contempt: “Lady Legions’ Leader, should I go easy on you and let you have 20% of the military force in the first round?”
“No need, just give it your all. If I lose, I’ll humbly ept it.” Tina responded sincerely.
“All right, then.” Grace nodded.
The Spiritual Power Sand Table was already running. The environment inside the table was randomly generated, and it turned out to be a prairie with cloudy weather.
Tina and Grace each controlled an army of 30,000 and were three kilometers apart.
Right from the start, Tina ordered all of her soldiers to rush to a stronghold on the north side of the map.
Upon reaching the stronghold, the soldiers’ attributes would be increased every minute.
Grace’s scout discovered the movement of Tina’s army.
However, Grace didn’t first find a stronghold like Tina. Instead, she marched directly toward the stronghold Tina was about to reach.
Although this meant that Tina’s army would receive attribute boosts from the stronghold before Grace’s arrival, Grace considered these boosts negligiblepared to actual strength.
As long as her army arrived, even if Tina’s soldiers were fully boosted, they would definitely not be a match for her. That’s why she dared to head straight for Tina’s stronghold.
Tina’s scout detected the movement of Grace’s army.
Seeing Grace’s marching route, Tina immediately understood that Grace was looking down on her.
However, she was pragmatic, as she ordered her entire army to upy the stronghold and prepare for battle.
About ten minutester, Grace’s army reached the outskirts of the stronghold.
Without hesitation, Tina opened the stronghold’s gate,manded her army to form ranks, and charged out.
The two armies officially shed.
But as soon as they shed, Grace felt that something was wrong.
Under Tina’smand, her army seemed toe alive, executing orders in a disciplined and orderly manner. Those with full health charged boldly ahead, while those wounded retreated, even cooperating with other soldiers.
In contrast, even though she had issued uratemands, her soldiers were still being toyed with by the opposing soldiers, continually being divided, surrounded, and defeated.
Just after the initial sh, Grace already lost a thousand men, whereas Tina’s army only lost four hundred.
“How is this possible?” Grace couldn’t believe her eyes. Why was Tina’s army so nimble and formidable? Could it be due to the attribute boosts provided by the stronghold?
No, that couldn’t be! The stronghold only provided basic attributes.
While Grace was lost in confusion, Tina quickened her attack. One wave after another stormed Grace, breaking her army into fragments.
Grace did everything she could to hinder the attack. However, her attempts to salvage the situation fell short, and she could only watch helplessly as her troops were slowly annihted.
About ten minutester, the first round ended.
At this point, only three thousand soldiers remained in Grace’s military formation, whereas Tina’s army still had at least eighteen thousand soldiers!
Obviously, in the first round of the confrontation, Tina was victorious!
