"In that case, why don’t we use this city as a trap, let their main force in, and then set it on fire." Gaven patiently explained the plan once again.
"What? You want to set the city on fire? No, absolutely not, wouldn’t that an destroying our city with our own hands?"
"Third brother, there’s no need to be so agitated. This is war, and war inevitably brings casualties and demands sacrifices. Given the enemy’s strength, if we can inflict significant damage on them, even at the cost of the city, it’s a choice worth considering. At least we can drag the enemy down with us."
"All plants fear fire, and those dark animated plants are no exception. It is indeed an effective thod to eliminate the enemy, but if we set the city ablaze, what about the civilians?"
The reaction of the Brotherhood of Sword Spike was much more intense than Gaven had anticipated, which was to be expected. After all, this city was their foundation.
"Our plan to burn the city is selective, it’s not a complete destruction. At least the dock warehouse area and your shipyard are not within the range."
Gaven analyzed deeply, "We can evacuate the civilians to these areas in advance, but once the fighting starts, it’s hard to control the situation. The safest way is to let them temporarily stay on the transport ships of the Koer Fleet; accommodating five or six thousand people should not be a problem."
Although the Koer Kingdom’s grain fleet had finished unloading, the return supplies and goods had not yet arrived, so they hadn’t set sail. Gaven naturally planned to make full use of them.
"This is indeed a good thod. As long as we can ensure the civilians’ safety, even if the City of Usr is completely destroyed, we can rebuild on the ruins."
"General, do you want our Brotherhood to help mobilize the civilians of the City of Usr and evacuate them to the non-combat zones?"
The three leaders of the Brotherhood of Sword Spike had already compromised in their words, for no matter how they weighed the power comparison, they couldn’t find a second way to win.
"Yes, ti is tight, there’s no ti to explain too much to those civilians. They must be forcibly moved out of the combat zone to reduce casualties. Only your Brotherhood can achieve this, but such an action will undoubtedly earn you a lot of bla." This was the real reason why Gaven had sought out the three leaders of the Brotherhood of Sword Spike.
"Our Brotherhood already carries quite a bit of bla in the City of Usr, we don’t mind bearing a little more. As long as their safety is ensured, the city can be rebuilt."
"This bla is only temporary. When the war cos, they will be grateful to us."
"We’ll take this job on."
The three leaders of the Brotherhood of Sword Spike were more straightforward than Gaven anticipated, saving him the trouble of stating facts and reasoning.
"There is a problem with this plan, though. The Tukan Eagle Knights have been hovering above us all this ti. If we organize a large-scale evacuation of civilians, won’t that expose us to their sight? This could bring disaster upon those civilians and potentially reveal our strategic intentions, causing the plan to fail." The eldest of the Brotherhood of Sword Spike, Duis, pointed out the problem they needed to face.
"I had already taken that into consideration. Just go and prepare; I guarantee that when you officially take action, they won’t cause you any trouble." Gaven did not provide much explanation but took full responsibility for this matter.
Duis stood up, interrupting his two brothers’ questions mid-sentence, "Ti is pressing, and the tasks are heavy. We won’t take up more of your ti, General. We’ll go and organize manpower to mobilize the civilians for evacuation."
The other party was not ordinary people; since they dared to speak so, they must have asures in place they didn’t want to disclose. Asking more would only lead to awkwardness.
"Then I entrust this to you three leaders. I have a lot of preparations to make, so I won’t see you off."
"Please, save the farewell, we will take our leave."
The three leaders of the Brotherhood of Sword Spike hurriedly left. Even before seeing the enemy, asking the civilians of the City of Usr to evacuate and doing so within a single day was no easy feat, even for the Brotherhood of Sword Spike.
"What a thick fog! At this ti to have such a fog suddenly appear is not natural; it is the work of the Druids’ Seventh-Ring Spell manipulating the weather. Those Tukan Eagle Knights can’t see the ground situation, so they can’t pose any threat to us."
"Such a simple solution, and we didn’t think of it."
"This just shows the importance of experience. We are really lacking in this area."
"With this, there’s no need to worry about those Tukan Eagle Knights, but it will create great inconvenience for evacuating our people."
"There’s no such thing as a perfect solution in this world; we have no choice but to push through it now."
"Do you not question the credibility of this at all? What if it’s a trap set by the enemy?"
"What kind of trap?"
"What if they’ve concocted a sche to whisk away the residents of the City of Usr, and those civilians taken onto the Koer fleet never disembark and are directly transported back to the Koer Kingdom? Given the immigrant horde they assembled, there’s a clear thirst for population. Who knows whether their entire immigrant horde volunteered or was coerced?"
"You may speak carelessly, but speak responsibly. Do you think General Gaven is as shortsighted as you? Look at the military supply materials he’s brought, and you’ll see he has a grander agenda for this visit."
