As soon as the teleportation device was activated Sandy and Saradina appeared inside one of the rooms in the headquarter building inside the Jysis city. After arriving they quickly exited the room and asked the other commanders who were present for the status report.

But the situation in the Galai fortress was changing very rapidly and they were unable to get information about the current circumstances as fast as before. But soon, within 30 minutes they were able to create a makeshift report after piecing together the segmented known informations.

After seeing the report and looking at the suspected number of casualties in their side, Sandy's face turned grim. Saradina also couldn't help letting out a gasp of surprise. She did not expect the number of dead soldiers to reach such an astronomical height.

This was only their first campaign and they had already lost thousands of soldiers. She somewhat expected it after hearing the enraged shout from one of the remaining generals but still it was hard for her to accept the reality. But what happened could not be changed.

Sensing the gloomy atmosphere in the air, one of the commanders spoke up -

"But we were able to kill one of their three generals. That should be quite a big achievement. So, we can call this night raid a success."

Some of the others present in the room nodded stiffly. It was evident that even tho they were able to achieve decent results in the night raid but the losses on their own side was also significant. Suddenly a hot blooded commander shouted -

"Still, I can't believe that basterd Grantham was a traitor. I even called that piece of shit big brother. How revolting !!"

Everyone's face darkened hearing this. They did not expect that a traitor would show up between them. This was quite a hard blow for them to take.

"I cant believe the fact that my good friend, Frank is not with us anymore. Without his sacrifice we would have lost way more of our soldiers."

Everyone became even more gloomier after remembering that one of their very close friends also left the world last night.

"We don't have the leisure to sink in sentimentality. After checking the magical diary I was able to find out all the things that were leaked to the enemy. Here is the list. The situation is actually quite dire."

Saying so Saradina handed over a list to all the participants that were in the meeting room. Actually Elena was also there but she used a special skill so that everyone was just ignoring her existence. So she was not given any list. But that was obviously not a problem for someone of her calibre.

After seeing the list everyone's expression changed. Some showed angry expressions while others showed the expression of deep worry. But that was only natural as Grantham had informed the enemy about most of their secrets including some of the core ones.

Among those, the city plan and the troops distribution were two of the most important secrets that were leaked. It was impossible to just change the city structure within a short time frame and it was also quite hard to change the troops distribution without alerting the higher ups who were currently in the capital.

At most they could just change the structure of the army internally. But without a proper aim and not knowing what the enemies planned to do, doing so was also quite problematic.

"No need to worry. We will not give the empire any chance to attack our own base and we will bring the war to them. Then the advantage they had by having our secret information will be cancelled."

For the first time Sandy spoke up and he suggested a very aggressive plan. Some supported him, others did not agree with him and the discussion continued.

...

At the same time, Hapis also received a report detailing the last night's attack. He was quite enraged by the result. The bull beastkins were not very smart by nature. There were very few bull beastkins who were born with a smart head.

That was why, any bull beastkins who were smart were important for the whole race. Those sorts of individuals were valued greatly. Fabak was one of the most outstanding even among the intelligent bull beastkins and Hapis had a lot of hope for his future. So he was very angry after knowing about his death.

Other than Fabak, they had also lost quite a large amount of soldiers. But most of the losses were because of the Fidryaya. The southern part of the fortress was completely destroyed in their rampage and they did not just stop at the southern part. After destroying that part they attacked the southeastern side and dealt significant damage to that side too.

But Hapis was not angry at all at Sakamoto who gave the order to release those monsters inside the castle. According to the situation, that was the best possible move. By doing this they could complete wipe out the fallen south and at the same time could create deterrence for the others.

So, Hapis was very impressed with Sakamoto's quick wit and instantaneous decision making. He even planned to give him some kind of reward but now was not the time for it.

So Hapis used a magical device to contact all the generals under him for an impromptu meeting. Hapis really had access to many communication magic device because the domain that Wepwewet ruled specialised in creating these. For the sake of the grand plan, he had gave Hapis quite a lot of those communication magical devices.

Soon all the generals joined the impromptu meeting. Unlike the meeting in the human camp, only very few were allowed to speak here. That was normal for them as most of the bull beastkins were muscle brained in nature. That was a fact that even they did not denied.

That was why, only the generals who were judged to have sufficient intelligence were only allowed to speak in the meeting and to suggest plans. Others were here mostly to receive the final order and to know about the final decisions that was made.

...

After a somewhat short meeting of about 1 hour it was decided that they were not going to make many changes in their previous plans but they were going to increase the ferocity of their attacks by a notch.

They also planned to over utilise the spy they had among the human army and would give him order to not only give them information but also to attack the base from inside.

Last night even tho he was unable to send complete information, his partial information was still a bit useful. So they also wanted him to rise in the army ranks a bit.

Sakamoto was chosen as the head general of the Galai fortress and another general of the capital city of Hapis' domain would be sent there to assist him.

...

On the other hand, on the human side the meeting was quite a bit longer. After discussing for over 4 - 5 hours it was finally decided that they would take an aggressive approach but would try not to be too reckless.

Leaving aside the Galai fortress, the enemy also had two more large fortresses called the Totota fortress and the Khil fortress. It was undoubtable that their raid last night dealt quite a bit of damage to the Galai fortress. So they wanted to use this change to make a foothold there or at least close to it.

They also wanted to launch some attacks on the other two remaining fortresses. It was important as without it the empire's army would not feel enough pressure.

So they also hatched some visible plans to infiltrate those two fortresses too. Even tho that was going to be a lot harder as they did not have any secret passages in those fortresses. But they had to try none the less.

Saradina also decided to take on a very dangerous mission after some discussion. Although most of the participants including Sandy were against it as she would have to take on huge risk for this mission but Saradina was determined to take the risk. So finally everyone decided to respect her determination and allowed her to take on the mission. If this mission got successful, they would be able to gain a huge advantage against the enemy..

Elena had already told them that they could make all the decision and just letting her know would be enough. So they sent recently promoted Milia to Elena's room in order to inform her.

Major General Sandy was also going to take part in another plan which was also dangerous but not as much as Saradina. But he had to get ready to execute the plan as soon as possible. So the meeting was terminated and everyone left to make their own preparation. They were now going to her increasingly busy as the war picked up pace.

New plans were made on this day and old plans were strengthen. Now it was time to find out whose plans were going to be successful.
