*089.Different Plans
Hinata is taking a break at a certain location one day's trip away from the monster country Tempest.
And then, the last meeting had commenced.
Judging from the situation, the opponents probably aren't battle ready and they are waiting for a reply.
However, this is a group of monsters, she cannot afford to be careless.
More than anything, even in a battle that will result in a complete victory, to reduce sacrifices even by a little is Hinata's fighting style.
Resorting to anything, even cowardly tricks, this is the natural thought patterns of monsters when fighting.
According to the Church's doctrine, monsters must be killed without sympathy for them. Everyone was affirmed about that.
Naturally, the knights weren't happy about this.
Winning is a certainty, however they also understand that should they lose, this will become a threat to human society.
It's precisely because they can't lose, they believed that this must be achieved through any means necessary.
In this battle, the enemy's kingdom is too large to cover it in a barrier.
Thus, through the use of decoys, they wanted to lure the enemy's main attackers out to the battlefield.
However, if it arouses suspicion, this plan will be jeopardized.
Originally, Hinata proposed a plan to send forth a messenger, but this was opposed by the holy knights and dismissed.
Firstly, even though there is only 100 of them, each holy knight can match a thousand men.
Amongst them, 15 individuals consisting of the captains and their 2 vice captains of the 5 squadrons all desire the title of the strongest holy knight.
Their influence has made a clear distinction between them and the others.
This time, the plan is for 5 captains, their 2 vice captains, as well as 5 escorts to form a cubic barrier.
Measures are taken for the worst case scenario, three captains will form a triangular barrier, and the effects will still show. For that purpose, instead of a cube, a pentagonal barrier will be activated instead.
Even if the enemy has taken measures and manage to interfere with the erection of the barrier, the location where the barrier will be erected can simply be changed.
The main fighting force will now have 40 less combatants, but in order to neutralize the battalion lured into the barrier, this is the best method.
The plan is simple, the remaining 60 will be used as decoys to lure the enemy into the strategic location.
The fighting spirits of the holy knights are sufficient.
After all, the enemy this time are merely evolved orcs and goblins. For some, they are foes already encountered numerous times in the past, and have already lost the ability to feel fear.
Amongst them, there are also evolved Lizard men and evolved ogres, anyone aside from the main forces will probably not be able to match their strength.
What they should be wary of is the existence of the arch demon.
While Hinata whom they worship slays the enemy demon lord, they must hold back the other monsters to make sure they don't interfere.
Their biggest obstacle here is believed to be the arch demon.
However, they encouraged themselves there's nothing to be afraid of. After all, they're wearing spirit armor.
The spirit they contracted with made the materialized armor easily adjustable, called holy mail.
Hinata is also wearing it, albeit inferior to true holy mail, it is still better than average equipment.
Hardly being able to feel its weight, it's a superior kind of armor that feels as light as feathers.
The weapons they wielded are also articles used to vanquish evil, a weapon that can nullify resistances and deal true damage.
(Yuuka: Pure damage for you Dota players)
It is rare to require this much power in a single battle.
The equipment used were so powerful to the extent when subduing an arch dragon, 10 people with such equipment is sufficient.
It could be compared to a country's army of 10,000 elite soldiers, but compared to the monsters they can't hope to make a comparison.
The holy knights were scattered in various places, but all the knights that could be contacted with were gathered.
For the holy knights, this was one subjugation war they could not possibly lose.
