Chapter 27: Military tactics and magic
General Anglius knew that the key advantage they held was the fortress’s strategic position, which offered a defensive bonus and forced the demons to advance through a bottleneck.
Of course, not everybody would know how to exploit them, but General Anglius had spent decades on the battlefield and was a master of warfare.
"All Mages must fire their Mana Missile at those four locations. They must keep firing until they’re out of Magic."
Anglius’ eyes were sharp as he identified four key points a few hundred meters ahead of the horde.
"They must start firing once the horde gets five hundred meters from the castle."
The young man nodded, his gaze intent as he memorized the locations.
"After they’ve drained their Magic, ensure they assimilate any Origin Force that reaches their minds. Although the new Magic Water would not provide too much energy, it should reduce their exhaustion. They must also start to spread oil on the walls once the horde gets within one hundred meters."
After ensuring the young officer understood all his commands, General Anglius’s attention shifted to the choke points in the path leading to the fortress.
"Place half of our Warriors in that bottleneck. Ensure they wait for the monsters to enter the zone before attacking, utilizing their Force. They must pull back as soon as they start to be overrun, and the other half will cover their retreat."
