The news that Peda was attacked did not surprised Sheng. In fact, Sheng had been expecting the Orcs to attack. What was surprising was that the Legion was not ready to repel the Orcs when they attacked. But again, the Legions was stretched to cover the whole of Sheria....
Followed by Cassandra and Moham, Sheng walked into the room where the meeting was held for those of the Manjet Legion.
Waving the soldiers to sit down, Sheng said as he sat down, "At ease, soldiers. We have more important things to discuss."
With Cassandra at his left and Moham at his right, Sheng went on with, "I had heard what you said, it is a good suggestion. But please remember that we have only about 1,000 cavalrymen. Heading into a conflict with no support can mean doom for them. If there are more than 5,000 Orcs, 1,000 cavalrymen is insufficient."
"So this is what I'm going to do. The 9th and 10th Legions will move out immediately, with the cavalrymen as vanguards. At the same time, I will ask Provost Renau here to create a portal for about 2,000 men to arrive at Peda. It is unfortunate that Provost Renau cannot make a portal for more soldiers but given that he had not been to Peda, the number of soldiers will be limited. Thus, the cavalrymen had to move off first and Provost Renau can make preparations for the 2,000 men.”
“The rest of the Legions will follow closely behind at a fast march. At the same time, I will assign 10 mages to arrive with the 2,000 men. This will help the defense greatly.”
“What do you think of this?” Sheng asked as he looked at Eyvind. Yes, Sheng was asking Eyvind and not Cassandra. Cassandra had already given her view and Sheng was looking at Eyvind.
