The thought that I could enter the Void alone in ditation and see the void without entering it was sothing that was on my mind. The problem was that the only people I trusted to watch over while I did so were my mother and Queen Mira. That and the fact that the Empire was just outside my door made unsure if I could do so soon.
Our Fortifications were being dug in, and the enchantnts were coming in nicely. With that being said, we noticed so movent from the Human wall as the night began to co in. Sothing told that after waiting a day and our 'unique' fortifications being built, the Empire was not willing to sit still and was getting increasingly more agitated.
Siege warfare was a thing in this world and had been done, usually, with the enemy attacking the fortress as much as they could with wizards before an assault with the A rankers battling above the head. It was a simple formula and created many casualties that the Beast-kin nation could not afford.
There were more humans in the Empire than in the Beast-kin nation.
Fielding this force out here and not back in the nation was a heavy strain on our logistics, but it was sothing we could do for a ti. First, we needed more A rankers without letting the defense be weakened.
That being said if the Empire learned of our lack of A rankers in the forward front, we were dood. With them potentially prodding our defenses again, we were getting ready for yet another eting, and I was heading in when I saw Isabelle, the War Chief, suddenly join .
"Chelsea," Isabelle stopped before entering the tent and making turn to her. She was in her armor and looking very serious.
I nodded to her and smiled, "Yes, Isabelle, War Chief," I said, unsure of the context in which I was talking to her at this ti.
"For now, War Chief, I am wondering why we are fortifying if we are here in most likely superior numbers than those on the walls," Isabelle asked.
"Three reasons," I replied quickly, "One, We are weaker with fewer A rankers than them," I said, and she nodded.
"Well, we can fake them with the previous plan and use Queen Mira to even out that number," Isabelle countered.
"The A ranker that isn't supposed to be here?" I replied with a question, and she flushed a little. "No, We can't, and they are probably hiding so of their own A rankers because it is a City. Isabelle, I know you want to attack, but now is not the ti. Every ti they leave that wall, they thin themselves a bit more for our attack.
The Next reason is that we need to not only defend that massive wall but also control the population inside," I told her seriously, "Without killing civilians, we need more manpower. This way, we will have more alive bodies to take care of peacekeeping." I continued, and she nodded, and then I smiled.
"There is a third and final reason, and it is the simplest: I may have sothing that will do more damage to those walls when we attack. If what I am hoping is true, we will surprise the Empire, blast our way in, and take over before they know what is happening." I grinned, telling her, "Then it will be City fighting where we will take more even casualties with them than if we stayed.
Plus, reinforcents will be with A rankers." I told her, and Isabelle nodded with a frown.
"I get it, but the morale is starting to decrease among the main army." Isabelle warned, "They all believe we should at least attack once before we go on the defensive," She told , and I knew that was the truth.
Many of these barbarians thought we could get through the first ti, and that was stupid as fuck to assu. Still, it was what they believed, and each day we sit on our asses earning defensive victories would feed into that. It was sothing that I really didn't want to happen as Morale being high was extrely good in the art of war.
I sighed, "Look, I know you are asking this so we can be on the sa page inside the tent for the Elders," I said, and she nodded, which I was grateful for, "We need to remain on the defensive. My bulwark fortifications are coming up, and rudintary stamina increases on our forces in defense is already starting up. They will have hell to pay for attacking us, and they might be attacking.
Each ti they attack and lose, it will make those walls easier and easier to take."
I took a deep breath, and I could see her thinking, "Still, We cannot keep this up," Isabelle said, "AS soon as the A rankers show their faces and increase our numbers, the Morale will no longer stand with us on the backfoot taking attacks from the Humans." Isabelle insisted, "I am getting too many reports of people thinking that you and myself are cowards."
That had my attention, and I frowned, "Do you know who is starting those rumors?" I asked.
"No, they seed to have just started last night," Isabelle said.
"It has been one night here," I said, my voice dark, "That is too early for them to start thinking that," I said, my voice serious. "I will have to discuss sothing later with our spies," I said barely above a whisper, and Isabelle instantly caught onto what I was thinking.
"You think we have been infiltrated?" Isabelle asked.
"Maybe, but that rumor is either soone causing trouble and needs to be punished or," I replied, looking toward the Empire and shaking my head. "No, this is sothing you and I can consider later; for now, we need to convince the Elders, which I do not think will be hard to continue to defend."
Isabelle nodded, and I was happy that the War Chief changed a little to have her own opinion. It seed she had her own opinions and even started to push back against for the first ti. That was sothing worth celebrating because she had not done so till now. It more or less seed that I was in complete control of the army despite there technically being two leaders.
That being said, the Elders could just take over whenever they wanted if they chose to do so. It was a consideration that I had to take into account while working with them. I was happy with the change, and the Elders were waiting as we entered the tent.
"Finished your chat?" Elder Lily said with a smile.
"Yes, We are on the sa page, as I am sure you all overheard," I replied.
Elder Leon and Lily smiled and shook their heads, "We expect you to be on the sa page and understanding, and we could overhear the conversation." Elder Lean smiled, "We are in a worrying stage of the war with us not moving forward," The Elder continued sternly, "We were expecting harder pushback and fighting before stopping and even reaching the City.
Our expectations have brought about this scenario where we are stuck at their feet and unable to bring forward our Might. Your battle plan is still holding. What we are worried about is the attacks while we wait."
As if on cue, I heard sothing and mana moving, "Coward trash Beasts, Attack you Simpletons and die like the beasts you are!" A sudden roar ca on the back of that shout, and the Elders both moved and shot out of the tent into the sky without destroying it this ti.
My eyes widened as their forces got close once again without us seeing them or our scouts catching them. It was a serious problem, and monts later, with A rankers clashing above us, the Empire moved forward to attack just as the sun was beginning to set.
