Chapter twenty two
"What do you mean?" Neah asked. "How many did we lose?" She scanned the area again. It looked like all of the metal vessel users, magi, and household members were present. So what was Muu talking about?
"More than half of the Fanalis Corps, magicians, and soldiers have been captured." Muu reported.
"Captured?" Sinbad echoed.
"Seriously?!" Neah exclaimed.
"How many of each are left?" Kouen asked.
"One hundred Fanalis, one hundred and fifty magicians, and seven hundred soldiers, including dungeon monsters."
Neah looked at her feet and added, "Yamraiha was captured too..."
"Why are they capturing everyone instead of killing them?" Sinbad asked.
"I'm not sure," Muu replied.
"Probably to power their weapons," Neah continued to look at her feet. Everyone was silent for a few moments before Neah recovered from her guilt and spoke up, "Alright. We need to get ourselves together." She walked over to the map and looked at it. It was already set up, with rocks in the corners holding it down and small pebbles on different points of the map. Neah had no idea where to start, "Uhm... What's the plan, Koumei?" She knew the prince was the master at battle strategies.
Koumei stood beside her and looked at the map, "Alright. We're going to split everyone into groups, so who do you want in yours, Neah?" He looked at the magi. "You and your group will be going straight for the Elites, while the rest of us hold the regular soldiers off."
"Do we have enough soldiers, Fanalis and magicians left to do that?" One of the Seven Seas Alliance members, Darius Leoxses- Spartos' father- asked.
"Yes. If we use our metal vessels as well, we should be fine," Koumei nodded.
"Ok..." Neah thought for a while. Who would be the best fighters to take? Obviously the strongest, but she didn't want to deprive the main forces of strong fighters. Taking another magi with her would be useful. Magi vs magi powered weapons? Sure. "Judar," Neah nodded her head to the magi.
Judar smirked, walking over to her, "Alright!"
"Yunan," Neah chose her second team member.
"Eh?" Judar frowned. "What can he do?"
"His magic will be good for support," Neah gave Judar an unamused look. "And he can get us out quickly if we need it." She searched the crowd for the magi, spotting him walking over, "You cool with that?"
"Sure, that's fine." Yunan nodded.
"Good," Neah continued to think. She wasn't going to take Aladdin or Scheherazade too, they needed them here. She scanned the crowd again, her eyes regretfully landing on Sinbad. Neah sighed, "C'mon, King Idiot."
Sinbad raised his eyebrows in surprise, but walked to stand beside her anyway. "Who else do you want?"
"That's it." Neah crossed her arms.
"Are you sure just the four of you will be alright?" Ja'far asked.
"Yeah, we'll be fine," Neah assured.
Ja'far looked to Sinbad for his thoughts and the king smiled reassuringly, "We should be enough. There's only three Elites."
"Ok then," Koumei spoke, "we believe the Elites are here," He pointed to a large blank square on the map surrounded by tall buildings; a park. "So you four will go around their main forces, that are here," He motioned to two street blocks just a few streets away from where they were. "You will go up this road here, and wrap around so you end up right behind them, giving you the advantage."
