Chapter 311: Persuading them to attack from the east of Silver city (1/2)
Author: M_W Cancer
What Leo exactly meant about a little bit of problem was that this rain, if it doesn't stop when the battle finally begins, it would hinder those on the low ground from attacking those on the high ground.
The Silver royal family was already in the geographical advantage in this war because aside from that they are the ones defending, they also have the high ground due to them being able to station soldiers on top of the Silver city's south wall. And adding to this rain, the Mischievous Blue Sword Alliance would be having a hard time with their accuracy in hitting those on top of the wall.
Although the Flyingboats could simply go up and hence they could then give the Mischievous Blue Sword Alliance the high ground, but it would, in turn, make them easy targets. Why? Because those people above the Galaxy level would definitely be fighting up in the clouds.
Of course, the Flyingboats has a Defensive Magic Array Formation installed, since that is one of the basic requirements of Flyingboats, but it is definitely not going to be enough against the Magic spells of those people in the Galaxy level. Additionally, the Flyingboats of Snow Noble Household is actually only made with Magic Lumbers, Magic Steel, and Floating stones, hence its durability isn't really that much of a guarantee.
Letting a Flyingboat fly really high in order to avoid those people in the Galaxy level is also not safe, especially when there are a lot of them, because the sky is covered with dark clouds during the rain, which would hinder their view of the ground and likewise on the sky. The former might cause friendly fire, while the latter might result in the Flyingboats hitting against each other.
Truth be told, the Flyingboats would actually only be able to lend a bit of help in this battle against the Silver royal family. Aside from transporting soldiers and supplies on the battlefield, and shooting some cannons and other range attacks to the Silver city's south wall, they only have a few more minor uses.
But just like what Leo had mentioned, the rain would only cause a bit of a problem to the Mischievous Blue Sword Alliance, because the bigger problem would actually be for the Silver royal family.
At this moment, the people stationed in the Silver city's south wall should only be the 10 Silver Generals and soldiers of the 10 Silver Divisions. The 4 Gold Divisions should still be at the northeast and northwest, respectively, at least maybe Crown Prince Edward's 3rd and 4th Gold Division is still in the northwest, and most likely only Commander Nov's 1st and 2nd Gold Division is making their way back to Silver city already. But still, because of this ongoing rain, traveling back for both would become a lot harder for them due to the ground being muddy and slippery. This rain would also help Crown Prince Edward perfect his plan of not letting the 3rd and 4th Gold Division join the battle.
Also, because of this rain, transporting supplies from the barracks to the battlefield would be really hard for the Silver royal family.
Unlike the Mischievous Blue Sword Alliance that has the Flyingboats from the Snow Noble Household to transport supplies, the Silver royal family could only transport supplies through the help of horse-pulled wagons, which would slow down during the rain due to the stone, brick road being so slippery for the horses to run fast. And then the moment they leave the city wall to transport the supply as near as possible to the battlefield, the ground would then turn muddy to travel, which again would not let the horse run fast. Don't even think of forcing the horse to run fast, because this might just cause some unnecessary accident for them that will cause them a lot of trouble.
Of course, those two problems he had mentioned were only the major problem, there are still a few other minor problems for the Silver royal family caused by this rain, but just like what its name suggests, it's just a small problem so there is no need to worry about it.
Because it was already raining, Leo quickly decided to find a place to cover from the rain to avoid his clothes from getting wet. Fortunately, he was on top of the wall right now, so he only needs to go downstairs and he immediately found a roof enough for him to use as a cover and at the same time allow him to also see where Queen Olivia, Queen Maria, Madam Silva, Elder Rain, and the others would be going to continue with their planning. To be honest, his main intention of going to the Mischievous Blue Sword Alliance camp was to actually look for them, so that he can tell them to attack east. The only reason he went up on the wall was for him to see where they were located at, because looking for them by asking other people is just too troublesome, especially with him becoming a bad example for the soldiers after disobeying an official order.
”Oh, they're going in the Barracks!” Leo said to himself the moment he saw them entering the barracks. Without minding the rain, he quickly went towards the Barracks.
It was only ten minutes of walking later did Leo finally arrived in front of the Barracks door. He could have arrived a lot earlier than this, but due to how hard it was to travel on the slippery brick road caused by the rain, it caused him to be delayed.
Last night, he wasn't able to see clearly just how big exactly were these new Barracks that have been built in his Heart city, but now, he can finally see that it's just an average size Barracks. Really unlike the Barracks back at the Southeast Fortress, which was big enough for nearly a thousand people to fit in. Well, Heart city might have undergone a few improvements, but that still doesn't mean that it's already rich enough to be compared to other cities that have tens of millions of gold coins invested throughout the years.
Cringggkkk!
Leo pushed the door open and immediately went inside.
”Leo?” Gretchen, who saw Leo get in, called out.
”Gretchen? Why are you here, shouldn't you be with the others discussing about the plans?” Leo asked in surprise.
”I'm making my way there right now.” Gretchen replied. Then she immediately changed the topic, ”But you, why are you here? Your title as the Commander of the Mischievous Blue Sword Alliance was already stripped off last night, right? So, your presence here should no longer be required.”
”I have something to tell everyone, a really important piece of information to be exact.” Leo didn't bother hiding his intention from Gretchen.
