Compared to the two fairies, Natsu is truly slaying a dragon!

"In terms of strategy, Mebbes is number one, and nobody can claim to be number two!"

"The fairy's strategist...?"

[Honatsu's assessment surprised even Irene!]

At that moment, Mavis raised her head, her emerald green eyes gleaming with excitement.

"The odds of winning are very high!"

She said!

"A high chance of winning? Are you serious? Before reinforcements arrive, we'll be facing an enemy more than ten times stronger."

[A strategist from the Galactic Empire frowned and spoke up.]

Mebius nodded in agreement.

"I've simulated the entire war in my mind thousands of times, and calculated more than fifty ways to resist."

"And ten ways to launch a counterattack!"

"A tenfold difference in numbers?"

[Mavis's lips curled into a slight smile!]

[“I’ve never fought such a rich war in my life!” (Continued)]

Chapter 156 Is Maldo really that brave?

Makarov: "The First Generation! Is it time to show your talent?"

Hades: "How nostalgic! A hundred years ago, when we were still a weak guild, under Mavis's leadership, we came up with all sorts of schemes and we have experienced countless examples of the weak defeating the strong."

Warold: "Ho ho ho ho, this is Mavis! She has a genius-level strategic vision, and is known for being able to find weaknesses in any game and then... deliver a fatal blow!"

Ultear: "Is that Mavis... really as amazing as they say?"

Uru: "I don't know, but..."

She looked at Mavis's face in the sky and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

"What amazing confidence!"

"Based on this point alone, I think Mebbes is not just a name without substance."

Kana: "Of course! She was our first president!"

"The first genius guild master who created Fairy Tale!!"

[In the video.]

Eileen couldn't help but speak up as she watched Mavis methodically plan her tactics.

"Um, Mavis, it's worth mentioning that neither I, Natsu, nor Belserion, these high-level combatants, will participate in normal warfare."

"For certain reasons, we need to conserve our magic power, energy, and so on, to fight against even greater..."

[Before Eileen could finish speaking, Mavis interrupted her.]

【"I know!"】

Her eyes were fixed on Black Natsu and Irene, who were both present.

"Soldier against soldier! King against king!"

"Everyone has their own enemies to deal with. Leave all two hundred thousand magical soldiers to me."

Perhaps it was Mavis's powerful self-confidence that made even Eileen admire her.

He turned around and looked at everyone present.

"Now, command is entirely in Mavis's hands. You will all act according to Mavis's orders!"

【"yes!!"】

Inside the command post, a unified voice resounded.

Black Natsu looked at Mavis and couldn't help but smile.

"Then... let's begin. This is your stage, Mavis!"

"Don't worry, I've studied diligently for so many years, and even participated in trade wars in the past few months. All my knowledge and experience have been for this day!"

Mavis nodded firmly. Henna was right.

In terms of pure combat strength, Mavis may not be powerful, but her true strength lies in her intelligence and strategy!

This is her stage.

[An unprecedented stage, where 20,000 faced off against 200,000.]

Next!

Mavis focused all her attention on the map and began her performance.

The orders were then issued in an orderly manner.

"Since we are trying to win against a stronger opponent, we must seize every opportunity."

"Favorable timing, advantageous location, and harmonious relationships—all three are indispensable."

"First and foremost, we must turn the tables and take the initiative. We cannot remain on the defensive; we must take the initiative and strike."

"The enemy forces had just launched their attack; the 200,000 men didn't even have time to form ranks in such a short period of time."

"And this is our opportunity!"

"I need ten highly mobile groups as a strike force."

"Each unit consists of a thousand people, and is equipped with the assistance of a dragon."

"The objective is to disrupt the enemy's formation before they can fully deploy."

"Dividing 200,000 people into groups of varying sizes."

"Then, I need two thousand men to quickly bypass the enemy's main force and reach the rear. Due to our smaller numbers and greater mobility, we should be able to reach the designated position quickly."

"At this moment, the sun's rays are directly behind the enemy army, and the blinding light will obscure their vision. At this point, the two thousand men will form a long, tongue-like line."

"And creating a huge noise is not a problem for mages."

"Their aim is to create the illusion that our reinforcements have arrived."

"To disrupt the enemy's morale."

"With their formation broken and morale thrown into disarray, now is the time for us to hunt them down."

"The spellcaster group is the first place we need to attack. Once the spellcaster threat is eliminated, our dragons can be fully unleashed."

"With the combined attack of the ground forces, the enemy... won't even last twenty minutes before they collapse!"

After a series of tactical arrangements, the entire command post was completely silent.

After a long pause, the Galactic Empire's original strategist finally reacted, clapping repeatedly to express his shock.

[Their eyes no longer held any contempt; this girl before them... truly possessed military talent far surpassing their own.]

All I can say is... he truly lives up to his reputation as the king's disciple!

[So outstanding it's enviable!]

Even Irene couldn't help but lean close to Black Natsu's ear: "This... is truly astonishing, this Mavis!"

Henatsu smiled upon hearing this, then looked at the group and asked, "What are you waiting for?"

"Let's act now!"

"Ohhhhh!!!"

The generals present rose and roared, then, after receiving their specific tasks, rushed out of the tent.

Henna and the others followed.

The war truly began at this moment, and countless personnel launched their attacks according to Mebius's plan, piercing the enemy's balloon-like army of two hundred thousand like needles.

The sounds of battle cries, roars, and dragon cries mingled on the battlefield.

As Mebbes predicted, things turned out exactly as he had.

[The 200,000-strong army hasn't even been deployed yet in this terrain; most of them are still in a state of confusion.]

Their formation was completely disrupted by the well-prepared thousand-strong force, coordinated with the giant dragon in the sky.

Furthermore, because the ten dragons were separated, each followed a thousand-strong army.

Therefore, even the spellcasting units specifically designed to control dragons were deceived.

The scattered dragons, while reducing their overall threat, still...

It seems they can no longer restrain the dragons.

[It's important to understand that the reason we were able to restrain the dragon during the war was because of the combined magical power of 20,000 mages.]

[They've already created a technique that even dragons struggle to break through.]

[But... if they spread out... it's questionable whether they can even trap the dragon.]
