"On a strategic level, I can do it."
This was the envoy's answer to Judge.
Do what?
Judge certainly knew what the envoy was talking about.
The envoy meant that even if Germa 66 launched a surprise attack on the Aden Kingdom now, he could frustrate Germa 66's strategic intentions with strategic command while minimizing the Aden Kingdom's losses!
This outcome had little to do with individual combat power; the real key was the commander who led the entire army.
"You mean, under your command, the Aden Kingdom has the ability to resist Germa 66's army?"
Judge stared at the envoy in front of him and suddenly burst out laughing.
"This is too interesting. Want to give it a try!"
Whoosh!
As soon as he said this, the atmosphere around them changed.
The clone soldiers immediately got ready for battle, waiting for Vinsmoke Judge's command to launch a surprise attack on the Aden Kingdom!
As for the "envoy" who couldn't be dealt with? They would naturally have their master hold him back, so there was no need to worry.
But then, Judge suddenly waved his hand, signaling the clone soldiers around him to stand down.
He reached into his chest and pulled out a remote control, then gently pressed it.
Boom!
With mechanical rumbling, the ground where the throne once stood slowly opened up, and the throne descended, replaced by a large "table."
Upon closer inspection, it was not difficult to see that it was actually a huge and detailed "sand table."
Land, sea, forests, cities, ships…
Everything was there!
And on the sand table, the locations of the Aden Kingdom and the Germa Kingdom were clearly visible.
It was a real-time sand table that almost perfectly replicated the current situation around the Aden Kingdom!
If Crocodile himself were here, he might exclaim:
"Oh, besides that old man, there are still idle people in this world who like to use sand tables to replicate real-time battle situations!"
Indeed, if it were a single person, the effort and time required to create such a complex and detailed sand table would undoubtedly be immense.
But Germa 66 was not short of manpower and talent, and manpower could, in a sense, compensate for a lack of talent.
Although it was a crude method, it always got the job done.
Thus, with the efforts of the clone soldiers and researchers, the sand table was put in place, its accuracy approaching the skill of Rowan's work!
Seeing this, the envoy raised his eyebrows and exclaimed, "Amazing!"
After speaking, he intended to step out and walk to the sand table to continue with Judge.
Judge had originally planned to do the same.
However, after seeing the envoy's first step, he changed his mind.
Because his strange and terrifying Conqueror's Haki was still present, and with every step he took, clone soldiers in the area would collapse!
The location of the sand table was previously where the throne was, meaning it was at the end of the main path.
If the envoy walked all the way there, how many of his Germa 66 clone army would be lost!
Even if the clone army wasn't short of manpower, it still required human and material resources to cultivate them, so they couldn't be used for careless consumption.
Clap, clap, clap!
Judge clapped his hands and issued orders.
A team of clone soldiers received the order. They immediately stepped forward, lifted the exquisite and huge sand table with their hands, and then steadily moved it, piece by piece, to the middle of the envoy and Judge.
Boom!
The sand table landed steadily on the ground, and ripples appeared on the water surface inside, but they did not affect the ships above.
It was indeed a perfectly exquisite sand table that was astonishingly detailed.
Judge beckoned again, and a clone soldier came over dragging a large box.
When the box was opened, it contained various model props, clearly matching the sand table.
However, what was noteworthy was that this box of matching models only had them on Judge's side, not on the envoy's.
"Now, let us have a match."
Judge grinned, a slightly excited, sinister smile on his face.
"You need to prove to me that you have the ability to challenge Germa 66 on a strategic level!"
"Strategic level" and "power level" are two entirely different things.
Indeed, in terms of individual strength alone, the envoy was fully capable of surviving under Germa 66's siege, and even inflicting heavy losses on Germa 66.
But what if the envoy had to "protect" the Aden Kingdom with his own strength?
How many people would it take to hold him back?
A hundred? A thousand? Ten thousand?
No matter how strong the envoy was, in the end, he was just a "move" condensed from Conqueror's Haki and sand.
Even if they piled up with human lives, they could still hold back the envoy for a very long time.
Therefore, if the envoy wanted to protect the Aden Kingdom with his personal martial arts from the blades of the Germa 66 legion, it was almost impossible.
The final outcome for both sides would inevitably be heavy losses!
But if the envoy had the ability to protect the Aden Kingdom from a "strategic level," the situation would be different.
Not by relying on personal strength, but by using his mind to command armies to fight, directing the Aden Kingdom's army to meet Germa 66!
If the envoy could truly integrate the Aden Kingdom's army and make this army unleash extraordinary combat power, enough to match Germa 66, then Judge's plan to conquer the Aden Kingdom with a lightning war would naturally be thwarted.
But the key issue was… could the envoy do it?
As the commander of Germa 66, Judge had absolute confidence in his ability to lead troops in battle, so he wanted to compete with the envoy.
A simulated attack and defense competition on the sand table!
However, before that, Judge still retained a bit of his "evil taste."
He did not prepare the envoy with models for the sand table simulation, wanting to see how the envoy would deal with the current situation.
But to Judge's surprise, as he sat by the sand table, a burst of laughter suddenly echoed in his ears.
"Pfft… Hahahaha!"
The laughter seemed to have been held back for a long time, to the point where he was laughing a bit too happily.
Judge looked up and saw the envoy laughing hysterically.
He recalled what the "envoy Rowan" had told him earlier – due to the reason for his existence, the envoy's personality was extremely unstable.
He must have undergone another personality change now!
Then, Judge saw the envoy extend his left hand, and sand emerged from his fingers, falling into the sand table and transforming into one model after another.
Indeed, such a small difficulty was nothing for the envoy.
But what the envoy said next made Judge frown.
"Honestly, if this could have solved it earlier, it wouldn't have been so troublesome!"
The envoy grinned, an excited smile on his face.
"You know? If war didn't involve killing people, it would probably be the most interesting game in the world."
"And if this game had a world leaderboard…"
The envoy paused, then said:
"I should be ranked first."
