Chapter 56: Only one way

Through his grandmother's insights, Rain discovered that the enemies recognized the strategic advantage of controlling Tristan. Its capture would not only grant them a strong position from which to launch further attacks but also disrupt the supply lines and weaken human resistance in the region.

Rain realized that understanding the enemy's focus on Tristan was crucial for formulating effective counterstrategies. He came to appreciate the value of having a network of merchants who could gather valuable intelligence from various sources. The merchants' ability to travel across different regions allowed them to observe and report on enemy movements, troop deployments, and other vital information.

This network of merchants became a valuable asset in acquiring timely and accurate intelligence about the enemy's plans and actions. It provided a broader perspective and helped Rain and his family to make informed decisions regarding their own strategies and movements.
