Lost.
As Aaron listened to Gaelu's report, he reached down to touch his chin, only to find himself touching the mask.
Judging from the expressions of this man and Horn, they had begun to question Aaron's command.
This sacrifice is necessary to achieve final victory.
If someone else were to deal with Lola, the cost would only be much heavier.
Through his observations over the past few days, Aaron has become certain that the person assisting Laura in managing the rioters is also a novice in military and administrative matters.
They had absolutely no intelligence awareness and were completely unaware of Aaron's surveillance.
Perhaps, even Lola herself has noticed something is wrong at this moment.
There was no way around it; although that girl was less mature in her thinking than Annie, her senses were extremely sharp.
If she were more diligent, she could absolutely become an unparalleled genius.
Of course, there's no way to expect her to put in the effort in areas she's not interested in.
When Aaron received the report that the "warehouse" had dispatched troops, he used the reports from the locals and the map to deduce their general strategic objectives.
If Laura goes to war with the army, then no defense will be enough.
Therefore, Aaron ordered that the target location be prepared in advance and handed over to the rebels.
To avoid suffering unnecessary losses.
This was also a hint Aaron gave to Laura.
The obvious anomaly should remind Lola to think more about how the enemy is thinking.
Since the rioters are making moves, the "warehouse" must be poorly defended.
Therefore, Aaron ordered a surprise attack on the warehouse.
But the city's defenses at the warehouse were stronger than Ayron had imagined.
Thinking about it carefully, it makes sense. After all, this is the central exchange point for logistics in the entire basin, and it must have strong walls to protect the safety of goods.
Aaron doesn't have the convenient means like Xia Jing for the time being, so he can't use extraordinary methods to attack the city, especially since this is just a puppet.
More importantly, Aaron couldn't be sure whether Laura would accompany the army.
If Laura stays in the warehouse, it would be very dangerous to approach her rashly.
Moreover, Aaron used a curse to send a hint to Laura.
Of course, this suggestion comes with a tiny bit of "minor" pain.
But perhaps for this reason, Lola might stay in the warehouse.
To be on the safe side, Aaron ordered his army to attack the city using conventional methods.
However, it was indeed difficult for these people to breach the city walls in a short period of time in a basin with complex terrain.
In the end, Lola arrived just in time and took them all down.
This time, Aaron lost one hundred infantrymen, as well as twenty soldiers conscripted from the town lord.
The lord seemed quite distressed about the loss of those twenty soldiers, suggesting that he was not a wealthy man.
However, even though Aaron had specifically arranged for people to burn down Lola's escape route, she was still able to return to the warehouse so quickly.
This was something Aaron hadn't expected.
Aaron asked, "The fire didn't ignite, and its size didn't meet my requirements?"
Horn replied, "According to the soldiers' report, the fire was set exactly as you requested. The fire is expected to burn for a whole day, and then it will be difficult for people to pass through for about three days. And to detour through the basin is not only difficult but also dangerous, and it will take even longer."
"Oh?" Aaron asked, somewhat puzzled. "If that's the case, how were they able to get back so quickly?"
"The fire went out ahead of schedule," Horn said.
"They wiped them out ahead of time?" Aaron realized something was amiss. "Why?"
"I don't know," Horn shook his head, "but the informant said that afterwards they saw two wide gaps in the fire area."
Hearing this, Aaron chuckled inwardly.
I see. Lola is quite clever after all.
The rosy clouds cannot cut through light, so naturally they cannot cut through flames or air.
However, it can devour the ground.
Those two trenches were fire barriers made by Lola.
That's why the flames went out prematurely.
"They really know how to surprise people," Aaron thought to himself.
However, Aaron didn't remember teaching Lola this knowledge. Could it be that Anne taught her? Or did she learn it somewhere else on her own?
At the very least, it shows that Lola is a smart girl who can apply what she has learned.
Well, but in this way, Aaron's losses this time are not light; nearly half of his troops have been lost.
But Aaron also got what he wanted.
This riot army relies heavily on Laura.
Every action must be carried out with the help of Laura.
And, although someone is definitely directing Lola, that person isn't very skilled and is a bit idealistic.
If Lola hadn't been so powerful, this riot would have been suppressed long ago.
In other words, the only tricky thing about this whole incident, from beginning to end, was Lola's existence.
Of course, it was also thanks to Aaron's knowledge of Laura that he was able to make this judgment.
If the people in the basin were to conduct the investigation themselves, they would absolutely not be able to reach a conclusion so quickly.
Just to make them realize that the only troublesome one is Lola, it will take more effort and time.
However, now that Aaron had gathered enough information, he felt that this matter should be brought to a close.
If Aaron can't even handle a makeshift team, he might as well stay quietly in the library.
His fingers rolled and tapped on the tactical table, and a plan gradually took shape in Aaron's mind.
A moment later, Aaron finalized the plan.
If he fails again this time, Gaelwyn and Horn will definitely stop obeying his orders, and Aaron himself may also be purged.
Of course, this possibility is unlikely.
But if Laura can really crack the code, Aaron will be very pleased.
But right now he wants to put a cool end to Lola's pretend play.
Aaron began to explain his plan to Gael and Horn.
However, Gael said, "Sir, are you sure this plan is sound? The Basin has already suffered too many losses at the hands of those green-eyed people; they are absolutely not trustworthy!"
Aaron, however, was very confident: "I'm not asking you to trust them, but to use them."
Gerw suddenly stood up:
"I disagree, sir. Although Lord Lopez sent us to assist you, he believes in your strong individual abilities and wants you to lead the army to victory."
"Instead of sitting in the study, sipping red tea, and giving nonsensical orders!"
This is absolutely a frame-up; Aaron's body is not fit to drink tea.
He knew very well that this was the time to prove his strength.
Strength can silence people, even though this puppet cannot display its full power.
But that should be enough to deal with the two of them.
"What, you doubt me?"
Horn stood up: "We're just worried that the adults are being fooled by an incompetent charlatan."
"In that case, would you like to give it a try?"
The mask couldn't change his expression, otherwise they would know just how confident Aaron was right now.
