Volume 16: Mists and Illusions, Chapter 9: Schemes

"You're thinking of choosing the Greenland Forest Plank Road as the ambush site?" Rebury mused aloud in response, and although he was not well-versed in military matters, it was clear to anyone what Homer's military movements could mean for Leon and Caucasus. Over ten thousand regular infantry, a small group of mages, and a squadron of knights—by no means could this force from Caucasus-Leon, comprised mainly of Half-Beastmen, withstand them. It was within expectations to use their advantageous power in an ambush. The Forest Trail in Greenland Forest, notorious for its rugged and winding path, posed great risks even for regular merchants and caravans, thus earning its name. Yet for an army of more than ten thousand, it was the most suitable route; at least, for themselves, it undoubtedly held no risks. No one would think that someone would have designs on this path.
