"Beside, you should understand better than I do why they simultaneously attacked the Fifth Outpost Sector, the Seventh Outer Outpost, and the southeast."
Edgar's eyes narrowed. "The attacks on the Fifth Outpost Sector and the southeast will draw away the mobile forces responsible for reinforcing the western and southern regions. Once the Seventh Outer Outpost requests reinforcements, the two nearest patrol units will also pass through the northwest."
If the three attack sites were marked on a map of the entire Sacred Forest, their distribution was not simply designed to create the greatest possible chaos.
The three attacks were drawing the elves' rapidly deployable reinforcement forces in three different directions.
And once those forces moved away, a temporary gap would appear in the northwest, an area few elves approached in the first place.
"Northwest." Edgar's eyes widened in realisation. "They're drawing our people away from the northwest!"
