Chapter 3353
‘The five principalities have formed an alliance army?’ Darryl was stunned.
“Albert is really good at predicting the future. When he bid me farewell this morning, he already expected the five principalities to join forces. Who knew it would happen so quickly?” Darryl smiled.
Reese came to her senses and asked the knight, “How far away is the alliance army from Sunshine city?”
“About fifty kilometers away!” The knight replied immediately.
‘Fifty kilometers? They’ll arrive in two hours.’ Reese frowned, realizing how dangerous and urgent the situation was.
“Gather all our guards and increase our defenses. Also, get assistance from Greenwood City. Hurry! ” Reese ordered.
Greenwood city was not too far away from Sunshine city. If they acted fast enough, the backup guards from Greenwood city would be able to arrive in an hours’ time.
“Yes, Mayor!” The knight replied immediately and ran out of the main hall.
After he left, Reese opened up the map of Sunshine city immediately and started to research battle strategy.
At that moment, Darryl looked at the map and asked, “How do you plan to fight?”
Reese took a deep breath and had a serious look on her face. “ Sunshine City’s location is unique and it’ll be safer to play defense.”
Darryl shook his head. “It won’t work if you go on the defensive. Look, all three sides of Sunshine City are surrounded by mountains. If the enemy conquers the mountains on all three sides, they will be able to surround US. It won’t be useful no matter how much you defend.”
‘That’s true! ” Reese trembled and became worried. “What should we do then?”
Although she was the mayor, she was still young and had never experienced a battle before.
When Winson led his army to attack Sunshine City, it was lucky Albert arrived in time to defend the city. That was the reason Reese was grateful for Albert.
At that moment, Albert had left for the royal city and Reese had no experience in battling at all. She had no knowledge at all too and could only ask for Darryl’s help.
Darryl thought silently then said, “Mayor, if you trust me, please send all the guards out of Sunshine City to gather with the guards from Greenwood city. We shall battle with the enemy outside the city.”
Reese bit her lips and hesitated. “Will that work?”
Darryl did not respond but had a confident smile.
During his years in The Nine Continent. Darryl was skilled in soldiers’ formation and his reputation was known across the world. The battles in The Nine Continent would easily involve tens of thousands of soldiers; some battles were even in the millions. For the six principalities of the Roland Continent, the number of people involved would not be more than 500 people. In Darryl’s point of view, it was a simple battle and not worth mentioning. 3 A few seconds later, after Reese debated it, she nodded finally and said, “Alright! We shall follow your plan.”
Then, she quickly made arrangements for her soldiers to follow Darryl’s orders and sent the main Sunshine city guards to gather on a hill outside the city.
