Chapter 98: Invasion Assignments
The Crown Prince pointed at a spot on the map. "I will take my legion to defend the first bridge across the Fihulton River. If they are going to travel down the road, they will have to pass that way. The bridge also gives us a defensive position if they’re intending to head toward the old Castle site, or south to Darden."
The King nodded. "That is acceptable. I will send the Natural Sons’ Regiment to reinforce Burton with Princess Alexis. The Second Prince will hold a position to the Northeast, as his Regiment is already in the region.
That will prevent the Dagos force from attempting to bypass the fortresses and come directly for Cygnia City.
The Fourth and Sixth Princes are engaged further up the border, and are needed where they are. The real concern is that the Dagos troops are intending to use their airships to do bombing runs on the cities."
That would complicate things.
However, it wouldn’t be as easy as the King of Dagos might have hoped. Cygnia had their own fleet of combat airships, though they were mostly hastily upgraded from passenger vessels.
The King of Cygnia had not anticipated that the nation would be attacked by a nation that they had considered an ally, so they had not been building their military forces at all in the most recent few years.
Instead, they had been focused on developing new technologies.
None of the others spoke up fast enough for the King, so he started to assign positions.
