章 597: Attack Up the Hill (Part-2)

"Okay, okay, let me arrange the frontlines into the proper formations and start climbing up."

Hearing Cambyses's absolute instance, Menes quickly acquiesced to placate the girl, but before fully bending over, he cleverly asked for this concession,

"But since the manor is on fire, may we delay the attack until we can start seeing the smoke? The morning fog is yet to dissipate and climbing up will be far easier with a visual sign."

"And if the Tibians are inside the manor, they will be too distracted managing the fire, so we can even catch them off, guard."

Menes's proposal was of course sound in theory, and there was little to nitpick about it.

Except that, it also basically wanted to throw the manor defenders under the bus as sacrificial lambs.

And this made Cambyses think for a split second, weighing saving all the men, women, and children versus increasing her chances of taking the manor back.

And at the end of this dilemma, the latter cause won.
