It took Manitola around 5 minutes of brainstorming to say:
"I'm not sure how we will be able to move the troops if you don't want to use the bridge."
"Below the ravine, there is a long winding river and if anyone will fall in it they would surely die, the walls of the ravine are very smooth so we can't scale them."
"The quicker route towards our destination is also available after we cross the bridge..."
Landers felt a rather sour taste in his mouth as he listened to Manitola, he didn't want his former alliance buddies to capture any of the cities or villages on the other part of the forest, considering they were just at the entrance of the continent which was kind of unpopulated because this wasn't the most resources rich area.
The capture of the first stronghold meant that they had the advantage but if they let the others capture strongholds in more resource-rich areas all of their work would be for naught!
