If this strategy succeeds, it will undoubtedly allow the Orland Army to withdraw fully from the conflicts between the North and South as soon as possible, and to quickly address the approaching Undead Calamity from the East.
Azeryan listened to Leon finish explaining this plan, taking a deep breath, feeling as though he had been granted a newfound perspective.
Indeed, Wizards are as clever as the stories depict them... He secretly admired his companion's brilliant strategy and then asked, "How many people and how much time would it take to build the dike and diversion canals?"
"If we want to trigger a truly massive flood, the time and manpower required would be unimaginable. But if we only aim to achieve my desired effect of diverting the river to flood the land, it would only take a conscription of 20,000 people, and I estimate it could be completed in fewer than twenty days." Leon explained the specific engineering plan to his companion, drawing in the mud beside them.
