Jurai had been mostly quiet during the strategy council thus far, deep in thought. He too had not slept in days, yet such things had never hampered him before, and he showed no signs of weariness. He spoke up only when Alexandria asked for his opinion. "The Crescent is too wide an area for us to protect all of it, and too overgrown for a large force to be effective, in such tight quarters, large groups of soldiers will only get in each other's way. I would recommend instead placing a small force of the soldiers who know the area best there, have them set up traps and ambushes in the portions of the Crescent nearest us." he indicated, tracing with his finger the area of which he spoke.<br/><br/>"Cutting off our supplies would indeed be high on the demon's priorities, so using the terrain to our best advantage would work well. We can harass them if they advance through the Crescent, lead them into ambushes. I also recommend sending advance scouts far into the Crescent and far past the Tower. As long as we hold that Tower, our scouts can immediately inform of us of the numbers they commit to any particular theatre of war." he advised. "Using that information, we will be better prepared to deploy our own forces accordingly."<br/><br/>At the sound of Fiona's voice, Jurai looked up and nodded to the Queen. "I vouch for Fiona St. Claire, she was invaluable in the defense of Outlook." he said, mainly to reassure the other war leaders in the room, though he knew his word would mean far more to Alexandria than the other elves present, who still felt a bit uneasy about his presence, even if they recognized the necessity of it.
