‘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.
At that moment, tens of thousands of guards from Greenwood City had arrived. Leading them was Jameson, the mayor of Greenwood City.
Once he arrived and saw the situation, Jameson was completely stunned. “Reese, why did you send all the guards out here?”
He saw 30,000 guards from Sunshine City gathered at the hill as Reese ordered. Together with the troops he brought, there were no more than 70,000 guards in total. How would they defend against the alliance army of hundreds and thousands of soldiers?
“This is Mister Darren’s idea,” Reese said, biting her lips as she looked at Darryl beside her.
At that moment, Darryl was observing the environment around him.
‘Mister Darren?’ Jameson was stunned.
He looked Darryl up and down. “Who is he?
