The fiefdom increases by 1 soldier in 1 second, and the empress kneels down and begs not to rebel

Although he didn't want to think about this headache-inducing problem, Lucat knew that it was something he couldn't avoid.

Daqian has established its prestige through this battle, so if they want to continue to expand their influence, they will naturally have to send fleets to other continents. Most of the countries that have already had conflicts with them are on the Leon continent, and Sari is the first to bear the brunt. Their own country is right next to Sari, and now they have to follow Sari's lead. Once a full-scale war breaks out, no one will be able to remain immune.

As for the response, Lukat pondered for a while before speaking:

"In short, we can't easily fight them on the vast ocean."

"The Daqian fleet we saw this time may not be all of them. There may be more fleets in other places."

Hearing this, Leto raised his eyebrows and said, "That can't be possible. If they really have such strong strength, they should have set sail a few years ago. Why would they wait until today?"

Lukat stroked his chin and said, "I have thought about this question before. My judgment is that this country has undergone tremendous changes in the past two years."

"But we don't know what exactly has changed until they get ashore. It seems that 80% of the people who were sent to Daqian are now dead."

At this point, Lucat turned his head and looked at the sea, and said in a deep voice: "Anyway, this mysterious country is about to start exerting its strength now."

"But if they really send a fleet to our Leon continent in the future, it won't be that easy. We have more warships on our home soil. In addition, the waters there are complicated, with straits with huge waves and reefs. These are our advantages. Their warships may not be able to reach our continent smoothly."

Leto's expression gradually eased, and he continued, "If they want to land, they will face fierce artillery fire. Our Botany Harbor is well fortified and has many artillery pieces. They will never be able to land."

Lucat shook his head. "It's hard to say. If a fleet of more than a thousand warships comes to attack, the port of Botani may not be able to be defended."

This was a bit disappointing, so Leto retorted: "Marshal, you have to know that we have our navy in the coastal waters. How could they come to attack the port of Botany with a thousand warships without any harm?"

Lucat shrugged, "That's just my analysis."

"We all saw their South Port this time. Although we didn't see it up close, we knew from the dense artillery fire that this South Port was a firepower fortress. Port Botany...can't compare."

These words immediately made Laito's words come back. His face turned red, but he knew that this was also the truth.

Lukat glanced at him and said, "But don't worry too much. They won't go to our port right away. If they really want to talk, their target must be the three major ports in the southern region of Sari Country."

"The three ports have strong fortifications and countless artillery batteries, not to mention the coastal defense forces. This is the Sari Kingdom. They are the opponents that Daqian must defeat."

"And we..."

——Perhaps we have to judge the situation and find our correct position in a possible all-out war. We must neither rush into the war nor go in the wrong direction. Although the Sari Kingdom is the overlord and has been strong for many years, the mysteriousness of Daqian, a rising newcomer, gives them great potential. Perhaps they really have the strength to compete with the Sari Kingdom.

——If this is true, then we must make reasonable decisions in the future so that the motherland can continue to develop stably in the struggle, and I can live my life without worries and in peace.

Lucat did not tell Leto these thoughts. He knew that Leto did not like to hear these negative words, nor did he understand them. His mind was still full of participating in the war and fighting. He had not yet fully realized that after the war officially broke out, only truly great powers would be qualified to fight, and countries like his motherland and Hungary might not be enough.

As Lucat finished speaking, Leto leaned over and whispered, "Marshal, according to your analysis, this is a huge opportunity for our Shenglu Kingdom."

Lucat leaned forward slightly and looked at him with a frown.

Laito lowered his voice and said in a calm voice:

"The Sari Kingdom has hegemony on the continent and has restricted our development, especially in recent years. After Isabella ascended the throne, the gap between our national strength and theirs has become increasingly larger. Last time, they massacred hundreds of thousands of Nino people on the Feni continent, which had a huge impact on our colonies there, and they took the opportunity to gain more say. Now it seems that it was a conspiracy of the Sari people."

"In the long run, our situation will only become increasingly difficult. But as you said, if Daqian wants to join the fight, then the Sari Kingdom will inevitably be affected. With Daqian's restraint, the Sari Kingdom will have to free up its hands to concentrate on dealing with them."

"Then we have a chance." Leto's eyes flashed with a fiery light.

Seeing his expression, Lukat shook his head helplessly: "Can I profit from it?"

"Or should we try to survive in the cracks?"

Leto was choked. Lucat waved his hand and continued, "Anything is possible."

He rubbed his brows and sighed again:

"But I am no longer able to do it. When I return, I will resign from the position of marshal."

As soon as these words came out, Leto said anxiously: "How can this be possible! Marshal!"

"No one is more suitable to be the commander than you!"

"I haven't accomplished anything and I returned in disgrace. How can I have the dignity to be a commander? Not only am I unqualified, I'm also a waste!" Lucat sighed heavily.

Leto advised: "No, Marshal, I thought you were incapable at first, but now it seems that you are far-sighted in everything. Our army needs you!"

“No need to say more.” Lucat held out his hand.

"I didn't do anything. I just took you guys to escape in a hurry. It would be embarrassing if I told anyone about it. It's good enough that the emperor didn't punish me severely after I returned to the country."

"If the emperor wants me to be a marshal for my father's sake, I won't do it. I can't do this job."

"If you want to be one, I can recommend you to be one, but I don't know if the emperor is willing."

Laito was stunned.

Lucat had already closed his eyes and rested. He didn't want to go through such a dangerous battle again. After all, nothing was more important than his own life.

Now, he just wants to return home, resign from his position, and live his life in peace.

-

Lucat did not carry out his determination. A few months later, when the huge war that swept the whole world and involved all continents came, he finally took the position of marshal again. By that time, he was the chief marshal of the navy of Shenglu, in charge of the entire navy. At that time, it was a period of extremely high-intensity chaos that affected all countries.
