C440: Preparing for Battle
As per the plan, the allied forces will take up position at the Dynamos Pass. The terrain is easy to defend even to the untrained eye, and this may indeed bring a possibility to win even with a small force.
According to information, the Elysian Imperial Army is already on its way here and is expected to arrive in a few hours. At the moment, there is no strange movement, and they seem to be ready to meet us head-on.
First, let's reduce the number of enemies by using Arleo II's Four Elements Cannon and Garuda II's Arrow Rain. Then, while maintaining the defense line, let's exterminate the attacking enemies and try to win the battle with persistence.
Although this ability was limited by my long-range flight, I can fire at least one shot from the four-element cannon so I agree with Emina's suggestion.
What should Nanami do?
She asked, since her name was not mentioned in Emina's plan of action.
Nanami, you are to stand south of the pass where the enemy attack is expected, and protect it so that no magicraft can pass through.
"Yes, I'll take them all down.
Nanami took on the difficult task with ease, but I was sure that she was capable of really doing it.
What is Emina going to do? Fight the right battles?"
Emina's Artemis is a versatile magicraft. It is a dexterous machine that can perform all kinds of missions, so it will be useful no matter what.
I'm going to break into enemy territory and look for targets for Farma and her team. It is the most important objective in this battle and it will be meaningless if we don't accomplish it. I'll let you know when I find them, and we'll see what we do after that and think about it then."
Emina was given details of information about Marquis Deer Grafful. She would be searching for him based on the characteristics of the ride carriers that would have his family crest.
As Emina said, our main objective is to defeat Marquis Deer Grafful. As long as we are hired, we will fight for our employer, but we must not forget our main objective. But it's wonderful that Emina is taking care not only of battle-winning tactics but also of our personal objectives.
Exactly one hour later, the large army of the Elysian Empire showed up. Even at a quick glance, they were several times our size and the air around our allies became stiff with fear and tension.
Even the fiercest members of the gladiatorial forces, who make up the majority of our forces, are not accustomed to the atmosphere of a battlefield, and can be heard whispering their concerns.
Probably the only ones who are calm in the allied forces are us, the Iron Knights. It might be a good idea to unleash a flashy attack to boost the morale of our allies.
Commander, I would like to make a preemptive strike, can you give me permission to do so?
As a mercenary, I could not attack without permission. I applied to the commander for permission, if only for the time being.
How are you going to do a preemptive strike? We're still a long way off, and even the Arrow range is not that long?"
I'm going to attack from the air. We can hit them pretty hard now, so please make a decision quickly."
"Okay, okay. I authorize the attack.
The commander did not understand what I was going to do, but he agreed since he could not think of any disadvantages.
Okay, we've got the go-ahead. We're going to make the first move. Everybody get ready."
I've only heard about it but apparently, while I was struggling to resurrect father, Farma and the other stay-at-home members have made considerable power improvements to their magicrafts as well as their personal power.
New weapons with powerful ranged attacks were added and I couldnt wait to see them in action.
