They can fly.
That is a tremendous advantage.
They can shoot their bow from a distance while flying.
Due to gravity, the power of the arrows will increase, and they can also increase the distance.
More importantly, it’s easier to scout out the enemy’s position.
In the past, it was popular to capture the enemy’s location with a messenger.
Thanks to this, countermeasures have been adopted.
Nowadays, there are tools for jamming, and it is relatively easy to break the contact between the user and the magician.
In many fantasy stories, the bird’s eye view is used, but somehow you never see the image as if a person were looking down.
The image you see is that of a bird.
I have tried it in the past out of curiosity, but it made me sick.
They can’t see at night, and they can’t fly in bad weather.
Even if you use a bat as a messenger, it can only tell you where something is by ultrasonic waves.
There is even a magic item to fool the birds’ eyes.
Not only can they not catch you, but they can also disguise themselves and show you something else.
It’s useless.
Winged people can switch between the vision of a bird and the vision of a person.
In the human field of view, they can detect the location of any jamming.
If they were disguised by illusions, it would be impossible to begin with …… Even so, the information they can obtain is far different.
If you know the location of the enemy’s troops, you can properly concentrate and disperse.
That’s what I’m most afraid of.
Since ancient times, commanders have struggled to read the enemy’s exact position.
All the best commanders excelled in this ability.
If the opponent knows your position, you lose the initiative.
When the initiative is lost, the sacrifice increases.
Because of the large number of transfers, jamming is impossible.
They know your route.
The location of reinforcements can be seen from a height.
But when you’re moving through the forest, it’s hard to see them.
But …… if you’re camping out, they can even guess your location because of the smoke.
It’s not a good idea to force the guards to be in a constant state of tension.
If they are attacked when they are fatigued and their military discipline is slack, the damage will increase.
And then they attacked Abraham on his way home.
This fact suggests the possibility of reconnaissance by the winged tribes.
The pacing of the dog people, winged people, humans, and cat people must have captured their positions.
It is also possible that they were just waiting for them.
However, it is unlikely that the winged people were together with them and just waiting.
Did they think they would be rewarded if they succeeded?
Or was it a diversion?
When I pointed this out, Silvana and Charles were lost in thought.
Mil and Kiara seemed to agree with what I had been thinking.
Charles turned sullen.
“If that’s the case, that makes things difficult…”
“It’s also difficult to disguise, so we have a lot of thinking to do…”
Charles looked puzzled.
“The town could be attacked when the Knights are on the road.”
Oracio leaned forward as if he had been expecting it.
“Please leave the defense to us.”
As expected, I could not allow that.
I shook my head.
“I don’t want to increase the casualties of the wolf people anymore. Especially since the percentage of adult males is dropping.”
Oracio fell silent.
He was indeed a representative and seemed to be aware of the situation.
Charles folded his arms as he thought.
“I think we have to maximize the number of guards. If we don’t, the dog people will be suspicious. It will make them more aware of the guards on the road and less aware of the town’s defenses. There is a strong possibility that it was a diversion.”
“That’s a strong possibility. Even if we know that, we will have to give top priority to guarding the dog people. The enemy is the winged tribe, and they can confirm the situation.”
“If we don’t rely on the wolf people, then what will they do?”
Oracio leaned forward.
It seems that he really wants to join the fight.
“In that case, we wolf people will be the guards.”
But …… it’s not so simple.
“If that’s the case, they’ll probably go for the dog people.”
Charles looked unconvinced.
“I don’t see how they can move so conveniently.”
“If they can get an aerial view of the situation, they’ll be in time. The guards move very slowly, after all.”
I sigh.
It’s like they’re forcing us to the corner and making me use the apostle’s power in a good way
But if I use it here, all the effort I’ve put into this will be for naught.
In other words, I’ll sacrifice someone for my ideology.
Oracio is looking at me with a serious face.
“Milord, we are citizens. Yes, we have fewer adults now, but we will fight to protect our fellow citizens.”
I couldn’t make up my mind.
Charles looked at me as if he had made up his mind.
“Let’s leave the best of the Knight’s Order’s squires for the defense. The commander will be Melchiorri and his assistant will be D’Avorio. I will be temporarily absent from milord’s side, so please forgive me .”
(T/N: D’Avorio is the MC’s bodyguard, Jules.)
I have no choice but to obey the words of the Chief Military Officer.
“I think it’s safe to say that the wolf people should be the basic assistant.”
Oracio was enthusiastic.
“I understand. But some of the children are good with bows. I’d like them to join us, even if it’s just from a distance.”
That’s a definite no-no.
I shook my head strongly.
“Absolutely not. After that, the children who didn’t fight will be left behind. It will result in discord.”
Oracio shook his head strongly.
“Now is not the time to be talking about that. Our top priority is to survive. Besides, we can train the other children after this.”
Charles nodded his head in agreement.
“I think Mr. Oracio is right.”
It’s annoying, but it can’t be helped.
I’ll say it again, I have no choice but to follow the opinion of the Chief Military Officer.
As long as I said I would leave it to him, his decision was much heavier than my words.
I said as if I were squeezing it deep inside me.
“I understand. I know this is too shameless to say, but let me say this …… I want you to make sure that your children avoid danger. And please make sure that you don’t rush into anything.”
Every time something happens, I am reminded of the weight of my decision.
How dare you send your child out into the battlefield ……
If you are an adult who has chosen to go to war, I can still make sense of it.
But to force a child to stand on the battlefield is indeed unbearable.
In the meantime, another report came to us.
A messenger from the tiger people had arrived.
They’re all moving at once.
They can fly.
That is a tremendous advantage.
They can shoot their bow from a distance while flying.
Due to gravity, the power of the arrows will increase, and they can also increase the distance.
More importantly, it’s easier to scout out the enemy’s position.
