"We should attack!" Felbi said.
In the residence of the Symphoria chief, within a large room, was a meeting where the prominent members discussed how they were to deal with the predicament at hand.
The chiefs Fenit, Sheng, Jirad, and Priena had fled here after losing Sinfall. Falun Gastair was also with them, though his village was yet to capitulate. Pale and Felbi were also present.
Felbi has been persistently asking for a while now that they attack posthaste.
Word of the Goblin-Forni Army's objective had already reached Symphoria through the distant village of Gastair. Just as the intel said, the Goblin-Forni army have started attacking Symphoria's supply lines.
"If we don't attack now, it'll be too late!" Felbi insisted.
"But can we win if we do fight? The difference in our strength should be clear as day," Falun said, causing Felbi to frown.
"It would be difficult indeed, but delaying only makes our situation worse," Felbi said.
"So you wish to gamble everything on one battle instead? Do you really think we can win?" Falun's calm gaze bore heavily on Felbi. "The only soldiers that can fight are the same soldiers who have been fighting from the start. The volunteer soldiers from the small villages have started plotting their escape the moment their villages were captured. Exactly how many soldiers do you think we can muster?"
"...50 heavy infantry, 60 light infantry, 70 archers. This are our current forces," Pale calmly said, causing all eyes to gather on her, though she didn't say a word more.
"According to Gastair's intel, the enemy has taken in the soldiers from the other villages, bringing their current forces to 700," Falun said.
The enemy was literally three times bigger than their army. The gravity of that difference caused the whole room to go silent.
"Pale," Felbi called out despite growing irritated at Falun's incessant questioning. He wanted to seek her opinion, which she gave without turning to him.
"The first issue is the numerical disparity. Sending the same soldiers that fought in the last battle would only tire them out, so it is indeed impossible to increase our numbers, but—"
"Enough!" Fenit, the representative of Symphoria, interjected. "The meeting is adjourned!"
"What? But Pale is still—" Felbi argued.
"Shut it!" Fenit said. "As chief of Symphoria, I hereby order this meeting be adjourned!"
"Ku... I understand. Please excuse me," Felbi said, standing up and then bowing before finally leaving the room. Pale helplessly followed after him.
After they left, Fenit clicked his tongue in anger. "Did they really think we would stake everything on one battle!? If we followed their plan, who knows what terrifying fate awaits us! At this rate!"
"The goblins will eventually make their move," Falun said.
The chiefs all gulped when Falun pointed that out.
