Chapter 275: Letting the Lions run free in the wild (1/2)
The moment Leo and Ethan look into each other's eyes, they can't help themselves from chuckling as they both feel the same pain as the other had felt after being beaten up by their own women, specifically women for the former while woman for the latter since they have a different amount of woman beating them up.
”You were also beaten up?” Ethan asked.
”Is this the reason why women are very scary?” Leo replied.
”Not just scary, they are dangerous as well.”
”Indeed!”
”.....”
The moment the soldiers of the Mischievous Blue Sword Alliance saw Leo and Ethan, they immediately stopped in their planning to stand up straight and saluted.
”Commander Leo, Vice-Commander Ethan!” The Generals of the Blue Fin Kingdom greeted.
”We apologize for causing such a mess, Commander Leo, Vice-Commander Ethan!” The Elders of Mischievous Lion organization and Guardians of Sword and Magic quickly apologized.
Hearing that, Leo simply waved his hand to say he doesn't mind it. With how many times he had fought in battles already in the past, he had long understood that in a battle there are times when they can be in the advantage or in the disadvantage. As long as the winner and loser haven't yet been decided, then it's still possible to change the current status.
”Yow, junior brother, you're finally here!” George called out to Leo.
”Took you long enough to get here!” Charles said.
”Tell me the current situation of the entire battle, in detail.” Leo looked at his senior brother George and Charles.
”It's like this, the Black organization is using the buildings as covers from our war weapon's attack, hence rendering the war weapons almost ineffective, and they are also using the civilians as shields and sometimes act like civilians to get us off guard. It's really hindering us from winning because we just can't do any harm to the civilians, as that would be the same as saying that we are not different from the Black organization. Although in a battle as large as this there are times when we can't avoid that, but if we really start killing civilians as well, then where would the civilians go when there is no one left protecting them anymore since both sides would kill them?” George quickly reported.
”Exactly, it's so hard to take back our advantage!” Charles commented in irritation.
”Okay, then let's change the plans.” Leo approached the table with the map of the inside of the Southern Fortress on top, ”Assign soldiers to encircle the entire Southern Fortress except for the destroyed south gate. Then, assign the rest of the soldiers to focus only on rescuing the civilians.”
”But, Commander Leo, what about the Black organization? Who would fight against them?” The Guardians asked.
”No need to worry, the members of the Mischievous Lion organization present here would handle the Black organization.” Leo replied.
”But, would that really work? There are still tens of thousands of them remaining, but the Mischievous Lion organization only has thousands of members at most, not to mention they have the geographical advantage as well!” One of the Generals asked.
”What kind of people do you think the Mischievous Lion organization has?” Leo turned to look at that General.
”Assassins, Commander Leo!” The General replied.
Suddenly, the Elders can't help nodding their heads in understanding as they realized where Leo was going to.
”And which place exactly do you think the assassins are best at?” Leo asked another question.
”That is...” The General wanted to reply 'In the city' but George and Charles cut him off.
”We are good in the city!” George and Charles replied at the same time.
Hearing that answer, everyone finally understood what Leo was aiming to do.
”But still, the numbers of the members of the Mischievous Lion organization we have here is still a problem.” One of the Elders voiced out one of their crucial problems right now. What's even worse was, most of the assassins were recuperating because the majority of people that received an injury were from the Mischievous Lion organization. It wasn't actually unreasonable, because the battlefield was an open space, hence as an assassin, they were not able to use their advantage unlike the soldiers from the Blue Fin Kingdom and Sword and Magic.
What that Elder has said was indeed correct. Even if the assassins are very good when it comes to fighting inside the city, they were still at a disadvantage when it comes to numbers, which simply means one assassin would most likely be fighting against ten or more members from their opponent's side.
