Chapter 210 (2/2)

After everyone had settled into their seats around the table, we started the strategyThose present were Senior Captain Trodius, Captain Jesmiya, Captain Albanth, Callu battle strategy is i of our troops currently at the Wall, out in the Beast Glades, and those arriving should take precedence,” Trodius began

With a silver croupier’s rake, the senior captain began sliding e e marker represents a thousand troops and sht?” Trodius confir the freelance adventurers currently under , we have just bit shy of two thousand,” Albanth confirmed

Jesmiya used her sheathed sword to move around a few smaller pieces around in the territory of the Beast Glades “One ofunits returned a few minutes before General Arthur arrived The head will be joining us shortly to report”

“Thank you,” Trodius said with a nod “We have a fewtheir way here but their nureater than a hundred so these will be e have to make do with General Arthur, I’ve heard ic abilities Would you like to offer a plan of action?”

Both Albanth and Jesarded me with surprise, most likely at the fact that I was not only proficient in combat but in military tactics as well

I shook s of the Wall and its residents I think it’d be best if you take charge, though I estions here and there”

<hr>

“Noted,” Trodius replied pro on to his plan

While I bore little fondness for the hter aside like a broken toy, I had to admit that Trodius’ efficient and callous nature adapted well into his position of power

The basic premise of his plan was to slay as many of the corrupted beasts as possible before they reached the Wall This meant that there would be several units sent out as cannon fodder out of range froes stationed on the Wall

Trodius continued on with his plan,pieces around the map to indicate four units that would take a more roundabout way in their approach toward the beast horde

“I believe oureney, outside of es to herd thee pieces on either side of the Wall “Thus, while we send in a steady streamenters from the Bulwark Division to impede enemy movement, two units of the Trailblazer Division will et in position to flank on either side”

The senior captain paused for a h rounds of concentrated attacks on both the front and the sides, by the ties at the Wall, the conjurers stationed with the help of General Arthur should be enough to finish it off”

Captain Albanth looked blatantly dissatisfied with the plan of sending in his soldiers to their death while even Captain Jes the map for a better alternative when I spoke up

So feels off

‘While the lives of the soldiers sent out aren’t cheap, this plan see at the map as well

No, not that

“General Arthur? Is so the matter?” Trodius asked

“Huh?” I looked up to see all three of the captains, as well as the er” The senior captain pointed at er on the table

“My apologies I was just thinking”

Trodius’ broitched “If you are dissatisfied with the plan that I have offered—”

“No it’s not that” I interrupted, raising y, I’m not quite sure yet However, I feel like this attack will most likely be their last on this front”

“What do you mean?” Captain Albanth asked

“The Alacryans have been sending a steady streaes, and while effective, thinking fro-tery,” I answered

“Captain Jesmiya” I locked eyes with the blond-haired division leader “You’ve stated that your troops have wiped out eons that the Alacryans used to hide their teleportation gates in, correct?”

She nodded “Yes The few gates thatrecently were those already broken”

It was coates in the Beast Glades were rather limited in the number of times that they could be used Even some of the more stable ones that the Trailblazer Division had found were deemed too unstable to safely cross The fact that the Alacryans had to take a gamble each time they wanted to send their troops to our continent spoke volu little to no gates available for the Alacryans to slip into Dicathen through, it’ll be nearly ih into the Beast Glades to receive supplies,” I continued

“With how unta to survive once they run out of supplies, let alone plan an attack,” Gavik spoke

“Which is why I feel theythey have into this last attack,” I finished,the ree with you, General Arthur, but how does that change our current predicament? Trodius asked, his tone impatient

I circled our current location on the ht have to rethink our plan of sacrificing soldiers to keep the Wall fully intact”

Albanth spoke up “If it le-file line to their deaths, I’reed

“A moment, please,” Trodius stated flatly “While I a as many of our men as possible, I’d like a plan that isn’t based on a ‘feeling’ or ‘hunch’”

“Fair” I nodded “This is speculation on my part as well butmore men alive is imperative We can rebuild a wall, Captain We can’t rebuild people”

Trodius’ eyes narrowed “That’s a rather crude oversimplification of the situation, General What happens if an Alacryan army attacks shortly after the beast horde if the Wall is in shaes better thanwe should just freely forfeit the Wall I’ we sacrifice parts of our fortress as opposed to our men”

After a h and slid the silver rake he had been using to maneuver the pieces on the esture, I stood up and beganmy me “So here is what I had in mind”
