Chapter 156 When making a plan, of course you should report the largest possible amount to your superiors.
Leon continued, "But if we follow the prophecy and help Your Highness ascend the throne, then even if problems truly arise in the kingdom's upper echelons, we can maneuver under the guise of 'restoring order' and 'supporting a new king.' In this way, we can both eliminate potential threats and preserve the relationship between the Dwarf Kingdom and the Alliance to the greatest extent possible."
He looked at Maya: "Your Highness, this is not only for completing the mission, but also for your people, and even more so for fulfilling your long-held wish. What do you think?"
Sandra Meya stood up abruptly, her eyes burning with intense passion, her voice trembling with excitement: "I think this is wonderful, Li Angqing, let's do it this way! This is not only my wish, but also the best way to save Ironforge from its peril. It is my duty to get Ironforge back on track."
Seeing that Maya agreed, Li Ang felt reassured. He spread out the parchment again and picked up the quill pen.
"Alright, since the objective has changed, our plan also needs to be adjusted. First, the number of people will no longer be one small team, but two small teams, Celia the Wizard,"
He looked at the blue-robed witch. "You just mentioned that you would also go there in person?"
Celia leaned back lazily on the sofa, her golden eyes half-closed. Upon hearing this, she simply hummed in response, as if stating something perfectly natural.
"Then welcome to the team, Wizard Celia."
Li Ang nodded. With the addition of this level-three wizard, the team's high-end combat power would be greatly enhanced.
"Then, our identity shall be that of knights of Princess Sandramea." Li Ang then realized that their number exactly matched the ten knights in the prophecy.
This setting made Maya's eyes light up even more, and she subconsciously straightened her back.
Having determined the general direction, Li Ang began to quickly revise the details of the plan.
The increase in the number of people meant that the consumption of supplies also needed to be recalculated. As he wrote, he asked, "Everyone, brainstorm and think about what else we need to prepare? Especially items that are relevant to the customs, climate, and possible battles of the dwarf kingdom."

Maya spoke first: "Ironforge is half-embedded in the mountains. Although it's not cold, the Thunder Mountains and the surrounding areas are extremely cold. We must prepare plenty of thick, warm clothing and non-slip boots."
Helena added, "We must bring enough healing potions and antidotes, as the mountain environment is complex and there are many monsters."
Olivia yawned and muttered, "Bring plenty of food—especially meat—"
Li Ang wrote down everyone's suggestions and began to recalculate the required budget.
The estimated rental period for the airship is 24 days, and the cost is 24 days × 20 silver coins/day = 480 silver coins.
He simply requested six gold coins, which included potential delays and additional costs.
For the food, clothing, and other necessities for sixteen people, he applied for twelve gold coins according to a relatively high standard.
Regarding the sixteen-person portion, there weren't any additional personnel.
With Olivia around, Li Ang calculated a five-person serving size for her, since she was only eating one person.
The total was eighteen gold coins, which was more than he had actually estimated.
But Li Ang's idea was that he would rather report more information than let the team members pay out of their own pockets to carry out the mission.
.
The list of required items filled several sheets of parchment, and a brand-new action plan was finally completed.
"Alright, that's the general plan. Everyone go back and prepare yourselves. Dismissed!" Li Ang announced.
The team members left one after another with expressions ranging from excitement to solemnity.
Soon only Li Ang and Nelson and Rodney, the brother and sister, remained in the camp.
Li Ang looked at them and said calmly, "This mission will take us a long way and the environment will be quite harsh. I will bring one attendant to handle the miscellaneous tasks along the way. The other will stay in the tower to help me with the affairs here, mainly the quarterly deliveries from the herb garden."
He turned his gaze to his relatively frail sister, Rodney: "Rodney, you stay in the tower. Nelson, come with me."
Although Rodney was somewhat disappointed, she still nodded obediently, "Yes, sir. I will certainly do what you have asked me to do."
Nelson puffed out his chest excitedly: "Thank you for your trust, sir! We will certainly not let you down!"
Then, Li Ang explained in detail to Rodney the specific time and process for delivering the herb garden, and handed her the crystal plate that controlled the gate of the herb garden for temporary safekeeping: "I have already set up the daily management of the herb garden, you don't need to do anything. You just need to collect the mature herbs at the end of the quarter according to the requirements in the ledger and hand them over to the person who comes to collect the herbs."
"
"I understand, sir. I will remember this and will not let you down!"
Rodney accepted the crystal plate with both hands, her face full of solemnity.
After giving his instructions, Li Ang picked up the plan and went straight to Deacon Celons' office.
Behind the large wooden desk, Celeste took the plan and began to carefully read through it.
He paid close attention to the tactics, especially the part where Li Ang explained how to take a direct and decisive step in establishing Maya as the new king.
After a long silence, he raised his head, his cold face revealing little emotion: "If things really develop to the point where we need to use force to support Maxwell's ascension to the throne, you can call for support through your badges. The Hunters will advance at full speed and should be able to reach Ironforge airspace in about eight days. Before reinforcements arrive, do not act rashly and ensure your own safety."
Li Ang quickly patted his chest and bowed, indicating that he understood.
Next, he quickly glanced at the personnel list and budget section, and frowned when he saw that Li Ang had only applied for supplies for five people for Olivia.
He picked up a pen and revised the plan, changing the amount to twenty gold coins before signing his name at the end and affixing the enforcement team's seal.
Theronster earnestly instructed Leon, "Bring plenty of food, otherwise it will be troublesome if she throws a tantrum. Besides, I can't do anything about her because of her mother. Once you're ready, you can set off on your own without reporting back."
He paused, then added, "As for the supporting squad, it will be the Eighth Squad led by Eric. You all know each other well, so you'll coordinate more effectively."
You will be in command of this joint operation, with Eric as your deputy.
"Yes, Your Excellency." Li Ang bowed, his hand on his chest, while secretly pondering to himself.
The fact that Celeste proactively increased the budget suggests that Olivia had caused a scene during a mission due to food shortages, and the matter eventually reached Celeste's hands, but he couldn't punish her because of Diana.
After leaving Celeste, Li Ang, holding the stamped proposal, went to the cashier's office inside the tower and successfully withdrew eighteen glittering gold coins.
