Chapter 567 - "Battle Strategy"
Martin took a deep breath and then resumed his job as Ainsley's bodyguard.
He could see the Godfather now, but he would pretend that he didn't see him, just to avoid suspicions.
Just like that, a week passed by. It was time to depart since it took three to five days for the whole troops to arrive at the mausoleum.
Before departing, Ainsley picked four generals from the 9 generals.
Ainsley chose Becca Elizabeth, Chris Ewing, and another two generals that Ainsley rarely interacted with.
That morning, Ainsley watched her people bringing food and other supplies to the storage space inside the war carriage that the family made just for this war.
Thanks to the storage space carriage, they only needed one carriage to carry all the food, weapons, medicine, etc., for the whole army..
Once the preparation was done, Ainsley let the troops mount their mounts and started to organise the troops.
Since it would be too eye-catching if they moved together with 500 people, Ainsley divided the troops into five teams.
100 people for each general, and the last 100 followed Ainsley.
At the same time, the five buds were also separated from each other and had to accompany the generals. By Ainsley's side was none other than Jevon, and of course, Elliana.
Coincidentally or not, Martin was placed in Ainsley's team, and he was even given a position right behind Ainsley. It showed how much trust and privilege that Martin got.
How could Martin not be ecstatic? With this arrangement, he could easily finish his mission!
While Martin was busy with his thoughts, Ainsley looked back at the people behind her before whispering to Elliana as they mounted their own mounts.
"El, are we ready to depart?"
Each team didn't depart at the same time to avoid attracting attention to their troops.
Thus, the other teams already departed one by one, and Ainsley's troop was the last to leave.
Elliana looked at their troops and nodded at Ainsley. "Ready."
"Good." Ainsley then signalled at Jevon to command the troops, and the young man hurriedly raised his right hand before shouting on top of his lungs.
"All troops….DEPART!"
His voice echoed throughout the Airpods that the troops wore on their ears. In that instant, the troops immediately ordered their mounts to move.
"Depart!"
"Move, move!"
"Let's go!"
The whole troops immediately kicked off the ground and rushed out of the Sloan Family's territory.
Some of the members rode flying beasts, and some had faster mounts, but all in all, the troops moved fast and precise, without leaving anyone behind.
With Ainsley, Jevon, and Elliana at the front, the troops travelled for 3 days straight. They only took a break for lunch and dinner, for about 30 minutes before resuming their journey.
Because of that, even though the team departed at the very last moment, they managed to arrive at the gathering point not too long after the other teams arrived.
3 days later…
"Milady, we have arrived." Jevon pointed at the small forest not far from their place.
The forest was the gathering point they chose since it didn't belong to any mafia families, just a worthless little forest.
"Alright. Let's go there." Ainsley decisively led their troops to enter the forest, and not long after, they found the other teams already waiting in front of them.
Each team stayed behind their respective leader, and they created a circle for Ainsley's troop to settle in.
Seeing this, those in Ainsley's team, the hand-picked members, couldn't help but feel a sense of pride.
'Hum, it is nice to be the boss' personal troops!'
Ainsley also noticed the empty circle where her troops could settle in, and immediately led her troops to rest there.
However, she herself didn't take a break, unlike her troops.
On the contrary, she left Cellino's back and called out the 4 generals along with the five buds to gather at the center.
"Greetings, boss."
"Greetings, family head."
The four generals and the five buds bowed at Ainsley before sitting on the ground facing Ainsley.
Their current location was quite far from the other troops, making it possible for them to discuss things.
"Hum. Drop the formalities. I gathered you guys here to discuss the invasion strategy…"
Ainsley paced back and forth with her hands behind her back, acting like a stern little commander.
"As you see, we are only a kilometre away from the mausoleum. You can already see the mausoleum's pillars from this distance, right?"
"Right, boss."
"Mmm. Then, the people guarding the mausoleum shouldn't be too far from the mausoleum too."
"Agree, boss."
"Yup. And honestly, I even think that there will be a whole troop waiting for us there."
Ainsley wasn't that naive to think that her opponent would only be several guards or something. There's no way the other party didn't know about her intention to attack the mausoleum.
With her big movement taking 500 people with her and then heading toward the mausoleum, how could they didn't know what was going on?
Thus, there must be a whole troop over there already, waiting for the Sloan Family to attack the mausoleum.
"For the strategy, we don't need anything complicated. The area around the mausoleum is flat ground used as parking lots for the visitors."
Ainsley stopped walking around and looked down at her people who were sitting on the ground.
"That's why, this will be a war just like the one when we fought against the Aretha Family."
But the area this time is wayyyyy bigger than the battlefield involving the Aretha Family.
After all, this field had no borders except for forests!
Such a battlefield means that things will rely on the troops' AOE special abilities...such as Ainsley's Goddess of Fortune and Misfortune skill.
