The Battle Demon, Gi Jii Yubu, led the assassin, Gi Ji Arsil, and the wrathful demihumans as they chased after the Symphoria army all the way to the Symphoria forest. Along the way, they captured the forests of Sheng and Jirad, leaving only Symphoria on the resistance's side.

Many elves was defeated in the battle at Sinfall, bringing the casualties and number of captured soldiers to approximately 200 men in total. Because of that they had no choice but to flee to Symphoria.

The gates of Symphoria were shut tight, not opening even once since the elves returned.

As for me, that just means I have more time to examine the newly evolved goblins and formulate a new plan.

"If they won't attack, we'll have no choice but to attack," Shure said.

There's just no other way, but on the other hand, if we attack recklessly we might just get done in by Pale's schemes.

"But sheer brute force isn't a strategy," Shure added.

A meeting was currently being held in one of the houses of Sinfall. The one talking was Shure, who had been a great help in these past few battles.

"In other words, attacking head on would be inane," the representative of the demihumans, Nikea, said, causing Shure to nod.

"What a pain, just beat them up be done with it already," Mido complained.

"And add more corpses to your dead brothers? Imbecile," Nikea spat as she glared coldly at the werewolf.

"They're scared!" Mido argued. "We should attack while the war favors us!"

He had a point, however. If we kept wasting time like this, we might end up throwing away the momentum we've gained.

"We should surround Symphoria then," I said, causing all eyes to gather on me.

Symphoria was big, so big that the southern part of it was a desert while the northern part of it connected to Sheng. The boundaries on its flanks were ambiguous.

"How?" Mido asked with a stiff voice; and that was not because of his wounds.

"We can clear a path through the forest." I drew a circle with my fingers on Shure's map.

"...Is this feasible?" Nikea asked.

For a moment, Shure became thoughtful with a hand on his chin, then he turned toward me with a clever look on his face. "It should be possible so long as we concentrate our forces. If nothing gets in our way, we should be able to execute within 20 days."

Of course, this whole plan was actually a bait to lure out some prey. To that end, we needed to ensure that word got out.

"There's no need for us to go about this quietly. If anything let's execute our plans boldly in the light of the day with loud voices and cheering. In fact, we should do it while yelling 'At this rate, you're all going to starve!'"

The demihumans gradually understood what I was aiming for.

"Hmm, will it really be that effective?" The only one who couldn't quite comprehend yet was Shure.
