Defense Specialization and Devising Strategy (3)

After they had formulated a plan, Payne bid farewell to the [Maple Tree].

“Frederica, I entrust the task of informing those who’re involved to you.”

“Of course! See you, Maple, Sally. I’m looking forward to it.”

In order for the [Congregation of the Holy Swords] to avoid Wilbert’s search range, they’d decided to prepare a highly mobile unit and stood by the rear in order to help with withdrawal or anticipate for worst-case scenario.

Originally, Dred was supposed to assist with the movement, but this time, Frederica’s buff would act as a substitute.

“Then, we’ll move forward with the strategy.”

“Of course!”

After hearing Maple’s reply, the two left the training grounds.

The remaining [Maple Tree] would also proceed with the preparations to the best of their abilities. For example, some would be in charge of replenishing items.

“Kanade, can you check for the last time?”

“Of course, Sally. I’ll go check it out.”

“Would you like to spar with Kasumi after that?”

“Sure. That’s the key strategy.”

Once they entered the battlefield, they wouldn’t have time to check inventory in detail. They had to do what they could so they wouldn’t regret it later.

“Alright, now it’s up to the other party to respond or not.”

“That’s right. But with the right incentive, I’m sure they’ll take the bait.”

Maple’s sortie was the result of considering various factors. To force the opponent to make a decision, they’d carry out the plan past noon.

If the opponent missed the opportunity, Maple’s [Indomitable Guardian] would become available once again. The powerful barrier would undoubtedly stand in their ways. As such, there was almost no reason for the enemy to let this chance slip.

“—Maple!”

“If it gets dangerous, I’ll come to your aid right away!”

“Yeah! I’ll do my best to win!”

“Good luck!”

“We’ll keep our eyes open!”

Nevertheless, there was a limit as to how much they could prepare, since the battle mostly depended on the enemy’s response. Due to not having time to use Iz’s items, Maple didn’t have any special buffs. Even so, she intended to clash with them on an equal footing, and then surpass them.

…After a while.

As the time for departure finally approached, Sally finished her own preparations and joined Maple.

“Maple.”

“Oh, Sally! Let’s do our best!”

“Yes, do you still remember the strategy?”

“I do, don’t worry! Honestly, I’m more worried about Sally…”

Maple spoke with a slightly concerned expression. Sally played a crucial role in the operation, making her irreplaceable.

However, upon seeing Maple’s expression, Sally smiled.

“Like I said, I’ll be fine.”

Looking straight into Maple’s eyes, Sally spoke confidently.

“You can trust me with your life.”

“Yes, I believe in you! I’ll be sure to protect everyone else!”

“Alright, leave it to me.”

Maple reciprocated her trust. When Sally was in danger, Maple would always come to her aid—and the same went for the otherwise. She had to believe and depend on the others. Without trust, the operation was bound to fail.

“Maple, are you ready?”

“Yes!”

“Then, let’s go.”

Thus, the two headed for the [Congregation of the Holy Swords], who were waiting in front of the outer wall alongside the members of the [Maple Tree].

“You’ve finally arrived.”

“It seems like you’re ready. Then let’s depart.”

The strategy would fail if they were to drag it out. Not wanting to waste time, Maple and the others quickly marched towards the enemy camp.
