Chapter 36.5: The Plan

"I, I know .. maybe my answer is not the answer you want, but I still have a lot of doubts. After all, we are not naive people who are easily deceived. I've seen a lot like you before. Who would have guessed if you were just a puppet? And so did the other soldiers. They ... will be hard to believe you" Caesar said followed by a nod from the other four.

"Your! I get it."

"Back to your previous question, you asked why it wasn't just me who delivered it to the soldiers right?"

"I think it was clearly answered by Mr. Caesar. I, too young to believe, too young to look strong, too young to lead, too young to look smart, too young to manage everything, and too young to be treated as an adult."

"I never showed up before, it was my fault. All this time I was too focused on my education and training, so I myself rarely can accompany you directly."

"And, the five people behind me are really great. They arranged everything for me, the person they trusted. I'm grateful. It's not impossible for them to manage everything at the moment, let me rest and focus on practicing, that's what they think."

"Ehem! you're overdoing it, young master" Edward said followed by another fourth nod.

I could only smile in response to their response.

"But, it's been too long for me to hand it over to them. This is my fault as a leader. So, I wanted to finish it myself, but I realized, it was a very difficult thing for me to run it like they did. It all happened because of my incompetence as a leader, that's all"

"That's why I called you here. You guys are influential people that my soldiers trust a lot. Therefore, I want to ask for your strength, at least in this fight, let me lead you"

They looked at each other without hiding the shock in their eyes, "Well, what can be done. Because we don't want to die or anything." Gerald said, followed by another nod.

"All right, I assume you agree. And since our time isn't long, so we'll start discussing the plan."

"Master Caesar, didn't the Cavalry rank first in the army?"

"Fumu! Let's position the cavalry as the frontline troops, those who will open the way if they attack, just think of it"

"Then, knights and warriors, can you fight behind the cavalry after the cavalry opens the enemy ranks? I hope you can help the Cavalry while keeping the mages' ranks"

"The mages will be positioned in the center line of defense. Your job is to help your partner with long-range attacks. Be sure to keep an eye on the whereabouts of your opponents and friends. In addition, if there is a surprise attack from an enemy that cannot be driven by cavalry and knights or warriors, you will become an important part of defense, your form of defense,"

"Barto, can you finish it tonight? I'll help you if you have any difficulties"

"Hmm? Young master, don't you underestimate my magic too much? Although I am a barbarian who uses power as one basic thing, but magic is also a power that can not be separated from the need to survive is not it?"

"Well, tumben you're rational" I said indifferently.

"Goodoo. Then, in the back row, the magicians support and archer. Same with mage. Archers will be tasked with attacking the enemy with long-range attacks. Make sure not to hurt your partner."

"Then, the healer magician will heal the troops, the supporters will support the soldiers. Some will monitor the situation, make sure to stay alert."

"The cavalry and the rear-line troops, you will be in control of the surveillance."

"I think that should be enough to be considered a formation right? Does anyone mind or feel confused?"

They shook their heads, "if so, what about the plan?"

"ah! For the plan ..."
