An Extra’s POV

Eric knew full well that Kar'en was an impossible enemy to plan against.

'Even if we create an elaborate plan, we still have to communicate it to one another.'

When it came to 'characters' like the Dragon General, it was possible that she had some special Skill that would allow her to bypass Sound Magic, making it very likely that she would see through whatever strategy they made.

The more complex a plan was, the more important it was to clearly communicate it with allies.

'Even if we speak to each other and use English, there's no guarantee that she won't be able to decipher the plan somehow.' The more Eric thought about it, the more he felt like they were stuck.

… So he found a loophole.

He would communicate only a part of the plan to his allies—

the simplified format of what would happen. Since this meant they would be speaking in English, and he would be using [Grand Sound Magic], there was a chance that the Dragon General wouldn't be able to hear them.

However, still accounting for the small chance that she could, then Eric had to create a follow-up plan that only he could understand and execute.

'I misdirected everyone in order to fool the enemy, but it was necessary.'

By telling everyone he would provide ground support for both offensive and defensive moves, they trusted him and went along with the simplistic plan.

The goal was for Adonis to kill R'ashu, and perhaps wound Kar'en after. If doing the latter was too ambitious, they only had to achieve the first.

All the pieces were on the table, so all he had to do was play his role—something completely different from what he had established.
