"Is the damage minor enough?"

To the whispers of Astal-Lanadies, Ain only turned his gaze.

Aynes, the upper westward march is lined up in the carriage. The chilling light of the demonic crystal lamp suspended on the roof illuminates a carrier provided for military purposes. Never wide, but there was plenty of room for the four adults to poke each other in the face. The chairs are arranged to surround the centrally placed table, with Astar, Ein, Dorca-Foam and Nina-Sentol sitting on their back.

September 20th, night.

A whole day had passed since the earlier battles, and the damage to each unit had been apparent.

The total number of dead is one hundred and seven. Far more than the Bahandar strategy, but when you consider that the battle in Bahandar is essentially just a sweep battle in the city, you are more likely to see it as a plausible place. Thirty-six from the Ayn squad, forty-one from the Astar squad and thirty from the Dorka squad. Including serious minor injuries would increase further, but few were likely to be able to participate in future battles. There are more deaths than serious injuries, and there are even more that were done with minor injuries.

Even though we succeeded in breaking up the enemy forces, we ended up bumping into each other from the front. Some damage was prepared.

"It's less than I assumed, and you can call it minor, right?

Dorka reaches for the teacup. I don't know who cares, but the table has tea and tea treats. The military debate has just begun. Hot air rises from the teacup and fills this makeshift meeting room with the scent of tea.

"I also assumed that there would be more than two hundred deaths."

Ayn nodded small to Nina's supplementary explanation. It is an operation in which the total number of enemy troops is completely unknown. Damage predictions were also incomplete. but it is also true that he was treading that perhaps a sacrifice of that magnitude would be necessary. Two hundred. Painful bleeding. But it was also something we had to be prepared for, more than not being able to ignore the enemy troops that had been placed near Reuben.

An unharmed victory is unlikely.

"White Shield" might also make that possible. Had the White Shield been assigned to the Westward Army, Ein would have built a tactic with them as its axis. But Ein couldn't run an invincible shield. Instead of what, the Westward Army had the strongest spear. It's the black spear Setuna Zenon-Kamiya. With him on the axis, we built an operation. This is true of the Bahandar strategy, but it was a natural decision for Ein to put him on the spindle, which is his strongest offensive force.

"I know. But there's also the thought that you might have been able to contain more bleeding."

Astar thought it best, Ein thought. For example, even if the dead were suppressed by fifty, she would not have been satisfied. Whether you win unharmed, convinced or not, you're not satisfied. That's who Astal-Lanadies is. Always looking for the best.

Dorka put the teacup down. There was no sound. Quiet stuff. Only the sounds of night bugs can be heard from outside the carriage.

"If you had stormed with all the troops from the beginning, what would have happened?

"Worst case scenario, this must have been the one that was devastated."

Ein responded promptly to Dorka's question while compiling the material at hand. A dossier is a report submitted by each unit leader under Ein. There are reports of casualties, warfare, and various others. I need to keep an eye on all of that, but I can't make time. So this is how I carry it.

"Hmm?"

"One of the enemy's armed summoners was a troublesome summoner. As you can see, the other black spear that Setuna had in her hands was replicated by her subpoena."

"Uh... is that what happened"

Dorka probably also remembered the appearance of Setuna ravaging the battlefield, making her white face even bluer. Ein feels that way about his expression, wondering if even someone like Dorka can ever be afraid. Neighbor Nina has the usual faceless expression, but in this case, it may be said that her usual face is hidden. It's hard to read emotional movements from her expression. However, when it comes to Dorka, he is an easy person to deal with because he immediately changes his complexion.

"This means that if we had stormed from the front with all the troops, we would have fought the enemy who got the black spear."

When Ain told me, the hypothetical meeting room, which was originally quiet, was engulfed in even deeper silence. So much so that you are likely to hear not only the sound of bugs, but even the sound of grass swinging in the wind.

In other words, the dispersion of the enemy forces that fed Setuna was a great success. I didn't just let one of the armed summoners be ripped off from the enemy army. The result was to prevent mass killings that the enemy armed summoner, Miliu-Lebaen, would have caused. The damage caused by Miliu to the Westward Army is less than 10% of the overall damage. Seven people who were stuck in the east woods were just killed.

But if we had carried out an all-army assault from the front of the Dorca, the damage would not have been ten times as bad. Miliu would undoubtedly have moved for the replication of the black spear, and Setuna, unaware of her abilities, should have caught on well. It's that chaos-bringer, though. How many soldiers would have lost their lives in her hands? Think about it, don't be upset.

Even if Setuna was sticking to Miliu, the damage caused by the aftermath would not be prevented. Unless Setuna overwhelmed Miliu and even killed him instantly, the Westward Army would have suffered a lot of damage. And I didn't think the enemy could kill instantly or anything more than just Miliu. The enemy army had two more armed summoners. Ruufa Zenon-Bargasar and Faria-Belfaria are the opponents who forced the struggle. If the three of them, including Miliu, with the black spear in their hands, had even worked together, they might have been in a situation that would have gone unnoticed.

"I don't care if my measures hit me or something like that because it's a result theory. I don't know what an enemy armed summoner is capable of, and there was a single idea for a simultaneous attack by the entire army called the Dorca Legion Commander."

"But it's an unquestionable fact that I was right to employ the tactics devised by the Ayn Legion Commander. If I hadn't thought about it and stormed over my power, I'd almost get a handached blow."

Astar's fighting power is not much of a difference in strength. Though the strength of the soldiers and the enemy troops calculated by Ruufa on sight were certainly below this one, they were not able to grasp the real numbers. The General's raised power would still be the armed summoners of The Lion's Tail, headed black and spear. Regardless, as a Logner, I guess you also take into account the strength of the Logner soldiers.

"That's right. Thanks to Lord Ruufa and Falia for their hard work, we made it a lot easier. Oh, we always prevailed because Lord Ruufa attracted the armed summoner and Nina worked hard for us."

"Legion Leader......"

When Nina sent her gaze to Dorka, he scratched his cheek in embarrassment. It was on the report when it came to Nina's work, and Ein had already looked through. Dorca's report is well-reasoned and easy to read. According to that, although it was Dorca who took command of the troops, it was Nina-Sentol who devised the tactics. I just have a good deputy.

Then Astar poured a somewhat chilling glance into the Dorka.

"I mean, you didn't do anything,"

"Even General Right Eye will not make such a quick decision."

"Hmm?"

"I just exist, and I'm the support of my men's hearts!

Though Dorca proclaimed with his chest outstretched, there was nothing alone in the makeshift meeting room that agreed with him. Now awkward silence dominates the space.

It was Astal who opened his mouth to break the silence.

"In exchange for the great victory, two of the three Lion's Tails were seriously injured and the one who remained unconscious,"

Astar's sigh may have been a mourning of the armed summoner's reliance on the western army. Indeed, Ain also has to hold his head when the next battle makes the three Lion's Tails unusable. For Bahandar, for last night's battle, we've built an operation with the Lion's Tail. It was particularly centered on black spears, but it wasn't anything to scorn Ruufa or Faria. Instead, the two activities were also indispensable to the victory of the western march.

If you look back at this battle, you'll know better. Without the two powers, the dispersed operation would have disintegrated in no time. Each of these dispersed forces must have been destroyed by an enemy armed summoner. Most likely, I would have thought of another operation without an armed summoner in the Westbound Army. In that case, it would still have required a great deal of sacrifice.

Whether it was even possible to attack Bahandar.

It is a leap forward for the western army with a black spear. I can't deny all this. Last night's big victory was because Setsuna showed us how Shura fought at the end of the day. Thanks to him kicking most of the enemy's power, the Aynes were able to win with relative ease.

"Faria's running around fine, but, uh, you're pretty pushy. I feel like a scratchy angel."

Ein nodded at Dorka's worrying tone. I decide to think that the color of the deputy's eyes changed for a moment because of Kiki.

"I know you think you have to work for both of us more than the captain and the vice captain can move, but right after the fight, you don't mind taking your time."

It was drained by Faria's tragic appearance at the end of the battle. It was no exaggeration when it came to full-blown creation. According to the story, he fought the enemy armed summoner Crude-Fabruneia and was wounded in doing so. Moreover, although Crude had succeeded in inflicting fatal injuries, he was escaped. Nevertheless, it seems unlikely that Crude will be alive. Crude left in front of Faria to cover Miliu, but with Setuna safe, you should see that his purpose was not fulfilled.

Miliu-Lebien, whom he was trying to cover, was already under Ayne Squad surveillance at the time. Setuna had secured it and was handing it over to the Force Leader. It wasn't until after the fight that Ein found out about it. It was only after the war that the troops waiting in the East Forest were able to rendezvous with Ein. It means the battle was over while we were bypassing the streets south, as told by Setuna, and there is no fallout for them.

"I haven't had a fight in a while. Give the Lion's Tail team a good rest."

General, that's an order.

"Oh. Right. Stand by until the next battle begins. As for Ruufa Zenon-Bargazar. What's he gonna do?

Ruufa also bore a deep hand in the battle against enemy armed summoners. He was more seriously wounded than Faria, and after the war, when Ain met him face to face, he was finally the one who remained conscious. The armed summoner he fought for was Zain-Vridia. Ruufa was sincerely pleased to have beaten that enemy armed summoner. He was in a state of bodily and mental meltdown, but his delightful appearance was salvation to Ein. Ain't the only one he's ever had a tactic with to deal with an enemy armed summoner. It could be one of the causes that led him to be seriously injured.

He should be renting one of the carriages and resting now. Other than the dead, there were no more seriously wounded than him. I just admire the mental power of Ruufa, who, with so many wounds, doesn't even try to show one expression of pain. Even against the health guards and military doctors, he said he didn't leak a single cry. But.

"Perhaps he should be evacuated. No matter how long you have until the next battle, there is no chance that you will recover to a state where you can return to the front."

"Right...... that's also for him. but"

"The question is, will he obey the general's orders?"

As Ein continued, Astar nodded quietly. Dorka comes up with a voice of doubt.

"The command of the Westbound Army rests with General Astar, right? Is there a problem?

"His Majesty Leongand is the only one who controls the Royal SS. His Majesty's orders are the highest priority. Of course it will take precedence over my order, which is the General of the Westbound Army, right?

"But isn't that strange? You can't disobey the general's orders more than you've been assigned to the Westbound Army."

"Except if he shields his royal life. In the royal order given to the Lion's Tail squad, it must not be said to absolutely abide by my orders, etc. They participate in the western march, and their role is to support the operation."

The role of the Royal SS "Lion's Tail" is to engage in guerrilla attacks. If Tooth or Claw is the king's sword and shield, Tail can be called the king's will. It is they, the Lion's Tail, who fly around the battlefield with one king's will and turn to the support of each unit. Although it is only assigned to the Westward Army, it is to fulfill the mission of "Lion's Tail".

"Uh, I mean, what do you mean?

"If the Lion's Tail mission is shielded, the general will have to remain silent."

Nina turned her gaze back on Astar as she heard Dorka explain. The general has his mouth full of tea.

"That said, I don't have a problem with anything as long as I'm behind the force."

"Right..."

Even one of the health guards will have to be broken for Ruufa, but to that extent, it is also easy. Besides, he is raising his Blinking Power to destroy the enemy's armed summoner by himself. I don't mind using it for one or two of the health guards or him.
