"The enemies are slowly breaching the defense line in districts two and four."

Lumilia frowned while listening to the reports of her subordinate. She looked at the map with a serious expression.

District one became a fierce battlefield of people above A-rank. Sending lower rank people there was simply asking them to massacre the reinforcement. So Lumilia wouldn't focus her attention on that district.

Their group should focus on fighting those low-level enemies instead of thinking about high-level enemies. The district two and four became the battlefield for them. The enemies were trying to massacre everyone in that city but Lumilia sent Yujin and Alice along with other adventurers to help the people out there.

Dark Oculus Legion was too weak compared to the group of enemies. Their numbers were too small. That's why Lumilia and Lynn contacted the powers of this city to help them, the nobles. Not just them, she also contacted Jimmy and the big company in this city.

With their combined forces, she was sure that they could hold for another one hour.

"So... what would you do?" Jimmy was silently staring at the map asked with a gloomy look. Beside him were the other owners of big companies like Lanny Corp.

Lumilia didn't have the power to call them here. She was just the vice-commander of the legion. Although, they were quite famous she still didn't have enough influence to move these big companies. That's why she asked the Lanny Corp, the partner of their legion, to call these big groups.

The nobles were a different story. Jimmy called them but they didn't come here. It means that they have no plan to cooperate in their group.

Those prideful nobles really were giving them a problem even at a time like this. They only said that they will help the city in their own ways. They will not get in their way.

"We'll clean district three first," Lumilia said as she looked at the people beside Jimmy.

"What about our forces in district two and four? Are you saying that we'll leave them there?" Yaso, the owner of the biggest weapon company in this city, said with an angry tone.

"I'm not saying that we should abandon them. I'm saying that we should prioritize clearing district three over the other district. We should establish a base of operations and this district filled all the requirements." Lumilia paused for a while as she pointed at the map before she continued, "There's a few enemies inside this city and that's the most important thing. If we don't have a base of operations then we would have a hard time against them. No, our doom would come earlier."

"Yeah, she's right. It's easier to clean this district more than the other districts. Also, we need to set up defenses so that we could last until the reinforcement arrives." Jimmy said as he crossed his arms in front of his chest.

"But..." Yaso tightly clenched his fist. His company was in district two so he wanted to retake that district more than anyone.

"Don't think about anything else. We're going to fight for our survival. Your wealth is nothing to our enemies." Lumilia said in a grave tone. She wanted them to understand the severity of their situation.

It's not that she didn't want to help district two and four. In fact, she really wanted to send people there to help Yujin and Alice but that would make clearing district three harder.

"Group yourself and start helping the city guards who were fighting the enemies in this district. Every five minutes send a report. If we don't receive a report we will consider your group as gone." Lumilia said to them. She was acting as the strategist of their alliance. Well, Jimmy was the one who nominated her for this position.
