Double Tap

Inside the empire's command center, Emperor Renardier and Ulrich refined the details of their second night's operation with the participating war leaders.

"The kingdom realized our plan too quickly. As a result, tonight's operation could only be considered half successful. We need a new strategy for tomorrow's operation. The straw dummies were too simple; the kingdom won't take them seriously," Emperor Renardier stated before asking, "Do you have any good idea, Marquis Salazar?"

"Since the kingdom didn't burn our rafts, we should continue sending more rafts for tomorrow's day and night operations," Ulrich said after some thought.

"The logs are expendable, and the rafts are easy to make. So we can afford to waste them as much as we please. And if we use steel wood and coat them with green slime, they'll be almost impossible to burn."
