"We were planning to create a path with our friend here and also father's power," Seadir said. "So, that should help a bit. What else?"
"After cutting their escape route, we will try to negotiate first and demand their surrender. Naturally, we will demand to kill Joanis and his soldiers," Rain explained. "You can have the pleasure of finishing them off in the unlikely chance that they will surrender. If not, we will attack them. Their barrier protects them from magic and stops magic from being used inside, but anything else works. We will wear them down until they break. With your big friend here, perhaps we can make them give up quite soon. They panicked when I almost made them sink on the ground."
"... It seems like a good enough plan for me, but some of the generals and their soldiers might not like the fact that we can fight them for a while," Seadir added. "We don't have to complete the waterway either, and they will voice that."
