Between the border of Kinley and Arkham, there were many secret bases which had been built in advance.
The war that had been waged wasn't something that had been decided on a whim, rather it was planned for years and preparations had been taking place quite a long ago.
In one of those secluded bases.
Hundreds of people were currently residing in it and warp gates were being built in it.
Things were quite chaotic all around. And everyone around here is filled with anxiousness.
"We just got the message that they have taken down the four defence lines and the people whom we had deployed from before, are heading towards the rear to form a base camp."
"The Kinley seemed to be struggling to get back the defence lines and were unaware of the strategy. Also, our paratroopers had made sure to move towards the rear at night so that their movements couldn't be caught quickly."
" From spies, we have got the message that Kinley's is not going to send reinforcements."
"They said that General Shen still needs five days. It seems even luck is in our favour."
"It seems the Central is still unaware of this."
A report came at the right time and soothes their anxious hearts.
Noah Ark, with a calm expression, stared at the map and fell into deep thought.
"It seems, someone is blocking the news from their side. Maybe it is an internal struggle or maybe The General is just careless."
"Your Highness, Isn't it good for us?" The General standing beside him spoke.
"No, it's gonna make us careless. We don't know that man's motive but no matter what, the Royals would surely know about the attack once we start attacking the Kingdoms."
"Tell all the commanders to take it slow. After taking over all the defence lines, start moving our troops discreetly. We may lose some time here but once we start attacking the Kingdom, the clock will start ticking."
''Moreover, it seems we have got an additional five days. But we need to finish everything in the next four days."
"So, order them not to rush. First, ask all of them to gather and then attack jointly. If this plan works, we could take out the entire Western Front and profit from it greatly."
"And our next target is the Western Territory. We will try to occupy as much land as possible before Kinley retaliates.'
The situation in Arkham was quite bad. They were facing joint attacks from both Demons and Dark Elves.
Arkham was a newly built Empire and can't be compared to Harold and Kinley in terms of history.
It was progressing steadily but soon everything started to fall apart.
During the war, there had been famine all over the place, deterioration of law and order, and cursed lands started to show one after another bringing natural disasters.
The First Prince of Arkham died in the battle against Demons, leaving him and his third brother.
While trying to find a way, Noah's gaze fell on the Western Front of Kinley.
Kinley had never regarded the Arkham Empire highly and everyone thought of them as weaklings.
In this operation, they have no other choice but to win, stay alive and succeed.
They had taken a long time to figure out the pros and cons while pulling every effort into the preparation.
They figured out the boundary patterns, the terrain, and the strength and weakness of the Kingdom in Western Territory and planted hundreds of spies.
The spies had done their best to gather the information. It was a dangerous route, but all of them had preserved nevertheless.
He had already been arranging rangers to figure out the routes. Some of them had lost their lives due to the steep and harsh terrain but all of them managed to hide at the designated spot.
Soon, the actual operations would begin. They have now moved according to the plan and once it is over Noah could feel the heavyweight leaving his shoulders.
The power of the Western Front was weak, if he had attacked with everything, it would be fallen within a day and they could also lunge forward and occupied the Kingdoms but he feared that such a large number of troops might alert Kinley and if they send reinforcements, the fight will become extremely difficult for them.
Because, unlike those lousy ones, the ones who will come as part of reinforcements were proper soldiers.
So, he planned to take out the wrap gate and change out the location or destroy it. With its help not only could bring more soldiers from his side but he could also halt the soldiers coming from Kinley.
In case of any expected situation, he could just bring his soldiers after crossing the border as usual and head forward.
But bringing down the warp gate would bring many advantages and could also save time which they could use to conquer the land.
His troops were already moving and defeat was not acceptable.
Noah spoke"We must destroy or bring the warp gates under our control as soon as possible. If the paratroopers failed, ask the troops to march with full force. If we fail to secure the warp gates, move on to plan two and form a stronghold on the defensive line."
"Yes!"
The general along with everyone bowed their heads.
Noah's plan was short and decisive. Even if they failed to conquer the Kingdom, he could still use the defence line as the last resort.
Noah hadn't found anything unusual in the report and still didn't know some things hadn't gone as he planned.
While he was discussing other plans with the general, a soldier hurried towards the room and screamed in joy.
"Your Highness, the warp gate showed a sign of connection."
"The warp gates would soon be connected."
Noah along with other generals' expressions changed as soon as they heard the news.
Noah smiled and muttered, "It seems we can implement the second stage of the plan."
"Relay My orders. All troops prepare to advance."
