Chapter 230: Resounding Horns

<hr>

Sylvie and I remained entranced by the snohite field that extended fro to see the conjuration of such a vast phenomenon made from one person Surely, General Varay would be exhausted by now until she could recover her mana, but the job had been well done

Aside from the aesthetics provided, I was curious as to the sort of strategy Virion and the rest of the Council had to utilize this ice field I was given minimal infor of troops and the actual line for Alacryan ar frole set of stairs leading to the floor above Sylvie was right behind er than my sister in her hu fro what I assuic hub for the battle here, I was surprised at how… efficient everything was

‘Efficient’on inside the roo my time as Grey back on Earth

There were rows of desks with people sitting in front of large piles of transmission scrolls instead of computers They were all faced towards the center of the circular roo on an elevated podiue earthen table with an uneven surface and a large glassobperched on top of an intricate artifact Surrounding this artifact were over twelve es on standby

While I was curious about the purpose of the clear orb, it only took me a second to realize that the earthen table, with a dwarven h depiction of the soon-to-be battlefield

General Bairon Wykes, older brother of Lucas Wykes, was currently discussing so about the march before he finally turned to look at ht twitch in his eyebrows told otten what I had done to his brother Still, compared to how he acted e had otten a lot better

“General Bairon,” I greeted curtly, walking up to the earthen war table

“General Leywin,” he replied, not bothering to step down fro on

I studied the layout of the war table, noticing the sures thatthis inforht?” I asked

“No it isn’t, General Arthur,” the dwarf answered respectfully “I’ress froh the transmission scrolls sent in by the captains”

“And what is this giant orb?” I asked, looking at Bairon this time

“It’s an artifact that can be better used as a medium for the diviners present,” he answered

<hr><hr>

“How are the diviners getting infores you see beside the projection artifact are elite deviants capable of scrying by sharing senses with their bonded beasts The diviners will be able to link the ies from the scryers’ eneral of this battle to see,” Bairon replied, his eyes narrowing in suspicion

“Don’t worry, I ca the other lances on the battlefield,” I quipped, annoyed by the lance’s attitude

“At least you had the brain to decline it Tens of thousands of soldiers’ lives rest on the choices made in this room,” Bairon retorted “If you can’t even keep your own family alive, hoill you keep the soldiers out there froe flairing “ What did you say?”

Bairon sly “You heardonaround, I could see that the killing intent infused withthe people present in the roolare and held up a hand “Give ot from the Council and we’ll be on our way”

Bairon reluctantly handedrelevant infor with several trans to stay in this rooer than necessary, Ijust short of the doorway leading to the stairs with Curtis and Sylvie beside me “And General Bairon? If one of the requirements to have this role was to ‘keep your own faue that you’re in no position to be up on that podiuh city walls that e of Etistin perched on Sylvie’s back as I read through the notes outlining the various phases of this battle The dru through the hills that led down to the Etistin Bay

So over the esti

‘What’s wrong?’ Sylvie replied, noticing eneral, there is no way I would initiate a full scale battle like this

I could sense the confusion from my bond, so I elaborated as on athered, Alacrya had been preparing for this war forspies like Head the mana beasts They’d taken extre with the secretive dwarves and bridging gaps by installing teleportation gates deep within the dungeons of the Beast Glades

<hr>

This all happened under our noses while Dicathen barely knew that another continent even existed!

So to me, it seeic prowess that they’ve demonstrated and face us head on like this

Based on the nue and any of the attacks we’d already tried had been easily blocked by their specialized defensiveby shi+p—their resources were limited The journey here must’ve already drained their food and water supply by a considerable amount If we played a war of attrition, their forces would soon die of thirst or starvation

Of course, one could argue that Alacrya’s strengths truly shi+ned in large scale battle, since their specialized es were much more of a well-oiled and cohesive military force compared to our soldiers But still, we vastly outnumbered them even if it would take ti things? Perhaps the Alacryans just wanted to wrap this up I knew that Agrona wanted to avoid an unnecessarily high death count on either sides for his goals against the asuras in Epheotus, sovictory in a formal battle like this would end the war cleanly?

‘Maybe you should’ve taken the strategic general position,’ Sylvie chihts I had practically vomited onto her

No Bairon is a dick, but he’s right I don’t have a stable enough mindset to dictate the lives of the soldiers when I know that each of their deaths would be caused by the decisions Ithe lives of our soldiers as pahen I already felt responsible for the death ofon ReadReadNovelFullonlinecom

“Focus, Arthur We have a war to finish,” I said aloud, slapping my cheeks
