Chapter 116: Aerial Superiority
"The first concern is whether the two Airships that we outfitted last night will be enough to hold the line and prevent the city from being bombed. Military intelligence suggests that they intend to fly over the city and drop explosives on us." Princess Alexis continued.
It wasn’t a bad plan, Dominic had to admit.
He had been planning to do the same thing to them.
"There are ten more airships on the way here to be retrofitted. They have the cannons and a magician on crew, they just need the Magitech Orbs. Advisor Dominic, I will ask that you prepare for that.
Colonel Wilkes, I need you to oversee the Wall Defence efforts, in coordination with Commander Dax and General Merlot of the Natural Sons.
I will be in meetings with Marquis Burton all morning, in the command room on the top floor of the Keep. When you need me, come directly there.
Both of you will have one guard assigned to shadow you for safety, no questioning that decision, and no sending them on errands."
Dominic smiled at her insistence. That reprimand was certainly not for him, but for Colonel Wilkes, who oversaw the Princess’ Personal Guard. He did not look happy about it, but it was better to move in pairs when you needed things done, and there were seven more members of the Royal Guard assigned to Princess Alexis and her safety.
"Did we get all the answers we need out of yesterday’s captured assassin? Or has that been postponed given recent events?" Dominic asked.
