Capítulo 524: Chapter 435: The Stars of Paris

"But..."

The Indian officer was about to say something more, but he was interrupted by the Marquess of Wellesley raising his hand, "If you do not want to lose soldiers, then go conscript some untouchables. Anyone will do as long as they can lure the enemy into shooting."

The officer immediately closed his mouth, touched his chest in salute, and left. On the Indian Peninsula, the lives of those of low caste were the least valuable, and it didn't matter how many died.

Wellesley continued to Cornwallis, "This will force Tipu to divide his forces to defend Mangalore."

To the south of Mangalore lies the capital of Mysore, Mysore City, which is also the second-largest city in Mysore. Sultan Tipu naturally could not easily give up this place.

Wellesley continued, "Once Mysore's army begins to mobilize, I will take the Marines by ship around Kanniyakumari and launch a surprise attack on Tiruchirappalli."
