Chapter 346 - Organizing

While Calina played with the other leaders, Roan paid attention to the army. He kept sending Spiritual Sense Messages to Kassie almost nonstop. It had even reached a point where Kassie was already having problems keeping up with everything.

'The 37th unit, their Core Formation Realm members are moving too far. Make sure they give cover to the back group.'

'The 26th and 28th Unit won't be able to form a double line defense like that. Tell their stupid leaders that you don't give a damn to whatever disputes they have. If they don't start cooperating, you will kill them and appoint two new leaders for their teams.'

'104th unit is too far ahead. They are one of the elite units staying out of the main elite group. They have too many high-level cultivators, so their speed is much higher. However, they aren't doing that on purpose. Tell them to swap 20% of their Unit Forces with the 103rd and 105th Units. That will force them to follow the pace of the nearby teams.'

'The 7th to 28th teams are starting to understand their role. Good, tell them that they can close their distance. I want to see them reduce their space while keeping the formation by at least 20% in the next hour.

'What the hell are the 145th and 147th Units doing? It doesn't matter how low their cultivation level might be. They shouldn't be that slow. Those idiots are obviously afraid of the incoming clash, so they are lagging behind on purpose. Take away half of their merit points as a warning and tell them that next time, merit points will not be the only thing they will lose.'

'So what if the gathered spear team is made with members of several different Units? All they need to do is give support to the line formations, for fuck's sake! Tell them to fucking focus on straight piercing skills on the gaps between the line formations. Why the hell are they trying to show off here?'

After some time, Kassie began to sweat without even noticing. She was passing so many Spiritual Sense commands that even she herself was feeling overwhelmed.

'What kind of monster is he? How the hell can he pay attention to all those teams at the same time? I still don't know how he found about most of the Units' specialties either.'

Kassie couldn't be blamed. No one placed more importance on information than Roan in this world. If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained, you will also suffer defeat.

Roan was an information freak now that they had the communication system activated. Using Rean's authority over the communication formations, he gathered all possible information about everything he could. Obviously, he knew more about all the units than anyone else.

There was no need to tell Rean how important it was, so Rean did the same thing and memorized everything. Calina wasn't an idiot and followed in their footsteps. The three constantly exchanged information and opinions on cooperating with the other teams if the chance appeared. Well, Roan liked to call it 'how to take advantage of others if possible.'

Of course, in everyone's eyes, the one thinking about all those things was Kassie. She had to prevent the other strategists from complaining about her commands. That being said, all her Spiritual Sense messages also reached them.

"I knew about Kassie's ability to command. But when did she get this good at it?"

"Is she receiving help from someone else?"

"But who though? If any of you could do what she is doing at the moment, would you stay here and let her take all the credit?"

"Of course not. Still, it is hard to believe that Kassie can do all of that at once."

"Who cares? She said she would convince us about the power of combat formations before the battle tomorrow. So far, it seems like she wasn't lying. Don't forget that all that matters is to win this fight and take control of the Triliun and Transten Ore deposits."

Meanwhile, a fierce fight was happening in the elite groups where Calina and Rean were located. Well, not a real one, though.

"Just what is happening here? I've never seen someone using this kind of strategy before."

"It's your fault. Didn't you convince us to take the mountain approach so that we could cover our castle and attack at the same time? Look at what is happening. She found a flaw in the formation and is breaking through our middle."

"Shut up! I did come up with the idea, but you all analyze the pros and cons before agreeing with me."

Calina looked at all those leaders with a bright smile. Just how many times had she been utterly crushed by Roan during these ten months in Sisca? She even had nightmares about this game at night. All the ideas these guys were coming up with were things that she tried herself against Roan. Still, that block of ice wasn't only cold but could reflect all her thoughts as well. It looked like nothing worked against him. Compared to Roan, just what did these guys amount to?

Eventually, they reached a decision and made their moves. Every time it looked like they would retake control of the battlefield, they would fall for a more intricated trap.

As mentioned before, the objective of the game was to take control of the castle on the enemy's side. However, doing just that would not convince these prideful elite unit leaders. From the very start, Calina had only one objective. Kill all their forces until only the castle was left.

Doing such a thing was several times harder than conquering the enemy's castle. Because of how each piece could move, trying to achieve a slaughtering victory gives several chances for the enemy to conquer your castle instead. Nevertheless, Calina was doing just that!

'I will not give you any room to complain about the results.'
