364 The Beginnings Of A Desperate Battle Part Two (1/2)

”So what should we do then?” King Augustus was beginning to get worried. If the enemy was stronger than Alicia then they were definitely stronger than him. He had no idea such a powerful being existed here on Phantasia.

”Well, as far as I know, the shield surrounding the capital will be strong enough to hold them back. Combined with my shield as well as the other mages it should be secure enough to keep our citizens safe. But the lands around the capital will more than likely be lost. I will need to go back out and poke at these new enemies and see just how powerful they are. If I can fight them that would be good but from the amount that kept crawling out of that crack, I am not sure how many will be roaming around. Before entering this space I had transferred myself to the demonic forest. Royal Father is your space still located here?” Alicia asked.

”Yes, I never took it down the entrance is still by the old tree, why do you want to use it?”

”Yes, It will become our new base of command. It will be easier to have you giving out orders to the soldiers from a central location. We will need to begin guerrilla warfare.” Alicia explained.

”Just like we did when fighting the Machine Empire?” Tang Guanting asked.

”Yes, just like that. It is effective and the best part is, is that we know the layout of the land better than our enemy. Adrian may have been the crown prince but he is not very good at commanding. In fact, Bergath is the one commanding Phantasiams. You could say that Adrian is along for the ride for fame and glory. So if we were to set up many small units and run around doing what damage we can to the enemy. We may be able to reduce their forces or at least put them in a disarray. ” Alicia hated having to fight in this fashion but in a situation where the enemy was so much stronger, they had no choice.

”We should go with this plan. How do you want to break up the teams?” The one to speak, who was normally quiet during the command meetings, was Dolnar.

”We will need to have a max of four men per unit. We will need to select the best people to lead these small teams. Following central commands orders is a must. The leaders of each race will be stationed in the command station. A fairy should be placed in each group. Their ability to confuse the enemy will come in very handy.” Alicia went over how things should be set up and which areas they will concentrate their efforts on.

”Tech… Well looks like I will be left out of the fun!” Dolnar grumbled.

”Dolnar you are the only one who can keep your people in line. If something happened to you they would begin a slaughter and then their lives would be lost unnecessarily.” Alicia said.

”Watch your mouth!” Blake stepped forward, his hand on his sword hilt. Alicia grabbed his arm and shook her head to tell him it wasn't worth it.
