‘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.
