God of Tricksters

The people were paying attention to the positioning attentively. Some were confused and some didn’t agree, but the one who could see through Theo’s positioning was none other than Leonardo, the War Saint.

He managed to grasp Theo’s intention.

“It seems that you have thought it through.” Leonardo sighed, feeling defeated.

Theo smiled.

Both of them were staring at each other. When Leonardo saw the positioning, he ran a couple of simulations to attack Theo. But most of the simulations ended up in his failure.

“You know that the Guardian is the best in deflecting any residual power, so you position him a bit farther back. But because his power is focused on defense, you station this cute rabbit near him so that she can help when they’re pushed back.

“That alone is already enough, but to think you would station another King Class Monster near him… The Shadow King is it?”

Theo nodded. “Yes. She has infiltrated Italy a couple of times in the past, yet, no humans spotted her. So, it’s clear that her strength is good and she is the most flexible one.”

“Though, I don’t understand why you would place two King Class Monsters near him. I trust the King Class Monsters you trust and even one of them is sitting here with us. It’s just… I don’t understand… Are you underestimating humans so much?” Leonardo asked.

“No. The answer lies in your position to be honest.”

“Hmm?” Leonardo frowned and looked at his position which happened to be near Ava and Felix. “Wait a minute… Don’t tell me, you’re planning to let me go all out because I have this little rabbit and your right hand man…”

“Yes.” Theo nodded. “Your power as a Transcendent Level Expert is necessary to stop those King Class Monsters. But your ability to command the army is also exceptionally good.

“The more time passes, the more variables influence the battlefield. That’s why I’m trying to have Agata handle our headquarters for a while. After you have used most of your power, you are to return to the headquarters and command the army.”

“By doing that, the scent of the battlefield will change since the commander has changed. It will cause the enemies to be unable to predict what’s going on anymore. In addition, Agata learned her skills from you, which happened to be extremely different from my fighting style. This will confuse the enemies.

“Besides, your skill is a bit risky even though the result is quite good. We can employ such a strategy during the first phase of the war because we still have the energy and people to do so. Meanwhile, my style is more conservative. The result might not be as good as you, but I give a solid foundation for our army. It suits the mid phase of the battle.

“Once I have consolidated the command, I should have rested enough to return to the battlefield during the last phase of the battle. This will be time to clean up the battlefield while giving the command back to Agata.”

When they heard Leonardo’s explanation, they couldn’t help but gasp. To think Theo put such a thought into his plan. It was true that they would be confused if they fought Theo and without realizing it, they would have lost.

The reason why Felix, Ava, and the Shadow King were near the edge of the yellow line was so that they could cover up those two in case something happened.

And since each of them would need to fight a few King Class Monsters by themselves, having strong fighters near them would give them some assurance.

“…” Leonardo looked at the rest of the positions before nodding his head. It seemed that Theo didn’t need anyone to correct him anymore.

When they ran a simulation in the past, Theo would have won half of the matches. But this time, Leonardo believed that he would be lucky if he could win against Theo just once every ten matches.

Aside from the pope who was handling the injured, the rest were expected to fight their respective enemies.

Still, it didn’t change the fact that they would be facing many King Class Monsters to the point they didn’t know whether they could even survive or not.

“As for the King Class Monsters, we will be assisting you with our turrets.” Theo glanced at Rea and nodded his head.

Rea immediately showed two turrets that had been reinforced by multiple high ranking materials. Even the bullets were specially made.

Theo smiled, presenting them with their turrets. These turrets were hidden the whole time since Theo used his illusion to crush these turrets.

“These turrets have been reinforced further. If you remember the powerful turrets that used to reinforce the cities on the other side, you could think of these as the improved version. If normal turrets could barely hurt a King Class Monster, this turret could definitely injure the King Class Monster hit by the bullets.

“The bullets are made of at least Rank A Materials. As for the turrets, we have mixed one S Rank Material in order to improve its power. And you don’t have to worry about the bullets as well, we have made enough for them to last at least six hours when firing continuously.

“We are going to grind down the enemies with these turrets. So, we can say that the Transcendent Level Experts have an important role since they will have to watch out for the attacks from the Saints and the turrets. But the faster we solve the yellow line, the faster we can end this war.”

Theo stated it clearly that he was planning to win no matter how disadvantageous their position was.

He looked at them for a moment and asked, “Are there any questions?”

None of them raised their hands. Even Leonardo was satisfied with the general plan that would decide the outcome of the war.

“Since no one is raising any objections, I’m going to give you the detailed tasks.” Theo smiled.𝑂𝑣𝗅xt.𝔠𝑜𝑚
