"How much damage is the Rheinzatz army now, Mr. Eye?
"The dead have already exceeded 15,000. However, it is assumed that the scale of the damage will be even greater if the injured are also admitted."
"That's the effect of a demon gun. That also has the effect of hurting soldiers and making them harder to retreat. Soldiers on your side, who are only wounded and unable to move without surprise, will weigh heavily on the army as it retreats."
"With that said, you said the demon gun wasn't that aggressive. That means quite a few people are injured."
"Yeah. But I didn't think it would be a one-sided flow to this point either. All you have to do is aim for a single reversal of the Reinzatz army and aim for the main formation where the Admiral is located, don't you think?
"It is presumed that the progress so far in this battle is as planned by Dear Ars Barca. Eye's predicted advance war forecast was generally as expected."
"Dude, is that true? Are you saying Eye could have expected this fight to be like this?
"Affirmative. I predicted by the laws of the battlefield of knowledge given to me by Master Ars Barca."
A little time has passed since the Radial Plains match began.
I do not know where the damage to the Rhinesatz army will subside due to sweep attacks by demon guns and ranged attacks by cavalry, or even attacks such as stone throwers.
Normally, if we get this far, the Rheinzatz army will have to withdraw.
But the effect of radio broadcasting and the number of wounded soldiers were depriving them of taking that option.
But this scares me the other way around.
Because the Rheinzatz army has trump cards, no matter what they say.
If you manage to cut into Honmaru, where the Admiral is, and somehow eliminate the effect of the Seal Devil's bracelet, and use [the moment], there can be a one-shot reversal.
No matter how advantageous the fight was, a moment of alarm is the opponent of your life.
So the generals in the field won't be as relieved as they are in the field watching the battle.
With that being said, wouldn't you say that Eye was able to anticipate the consequences of this battle in advance to some extent?
No, you won't.
But Eye, a virtual personality, shouldn't lie.
Does that mean you really knew how it went so far?
"What, what's that battlefield law? Did the Admiral teach Eye?
"Yes, I haven't finished the verification yet, but I taught Lancaster the law. It's a law that predicts how much damage will be done in the event of a battle because of the difference in power between the two sides."
"What the hell? Never heard of it. Is that really happening?
"That sounds interesting. Mr. Eye, what's that Lancaster law all about?
"It's a law that assumes the number of survivors in combat by an organization called the military. In the case of combat in modern organized armies such as the Barca and Fontana armies, the autonomy of the forces of both parties will make it possible to determine the consequences"
"... I'm not sure, but what happens if I'm simple and specific?
"Assume, for example, that one army was 1000 and the other 600 troops fought. If the battle continues until one of them reaches zero, how many will survive?"
"If you mean until one of them is 0, doesn't it simply feel like 400 people will survive by pulling 1000 to 600? Isn't it that simple?
"If it is an unorganized classical army, it is expected that it is generally there as a result as a primary law. But secondary laws apply if you are a modern army. In that case, 600 troops will be wiped out, and 1000 troops will survive."
"Oh, is that what's gonna happen? It's not a great victory.... That, but if we talk about it, wouldn't it be overwhelmingly advantageous to have more power? If this is a battle, the number is ten times higher than the Rheinzatz army, right? Then I think the Barca army will be wiped out and the Reinzatz army will be almost unharmed."
"The previous example was only an easy to understand and concrete example. Earlier calculations stipulated that one person's battle power would be the same. but realistically not. Knights are stronger than ordinary soldiers, and the ranks are stronger. Even 1000 to 600 can vary depending on the rank and how many knights you have."
"Oh, right. For a long time, I've heard that knights can beat a squire who serves a knight even if he fights against 10 soldiers in general, and knights can beat that squire against 10. So, did it feel like it was our principals to win against more than one of those knights?
"Yes, so when calculating using the laws of the battlefield, we include that figure, which is generally traditionally said, as a force of war. But there are other elements that you can't take off if you think about your power."
"Right. Got it, Eye. You mean the quality of the equipment? Even if there are fewer knights and principals, if they are fully equipped, they will gain strength as an army. That would be what it means to predict results not only from the number of people, but also from the power of both sides. Are you saying that the Barca army, which is full of demon guns, magic swords, and armor, even if it's small in number, actually has more power than the Rheinzatz army?
"Exactly, Master Vargas van Barres. You need to think compositely about the number of people, the quality of equipment, the number of knights and principals when calculating using the laws of the battlefield. And in this Barca and Reinzatz armies overall, the Barca armies are more militarily upward, and it's not surprising that this has turned out to be the case"
I see.
I don't know if that law and what they do is really right.
but I know what you're trying to say.
The battlefield until I came under the Admiral was basically a personal battle with only a few.
All you had to do was fight the opponents in front of you, and no matter how many of them were bumping into each other, in the end you were just doing a lot of one-on-one fights.
That's also why it was so much easier to win if the strong increased their battle results and increased the morale of their allies.
But it seems to me that the picture has started to change dramatically around the time the Admiral began to build the Fontana army.
It was not a one-on-one extension line, but a battle between organizations.
It seems to me that it has become a mass battle by organization because it has given soldiers many roles in the form of engineers, cavalry and telecommuters.
And since that happened, I had felt like it was simply no longer something that a higher number could win.
When Kyle, who runs the army well, takes command, isn't it something unique about organizing fights that can be won as funny?
But it was the first time that the Admiral had such a law that he could predict the consequences of such a war.
I've never heard of it before.
but because he knew it, the general may have kept putting money on the army to better equip it to improve its combat power.
That means I guess I knew and did it for a long time.
I may not be able to fool around with this either.
Old fashioned, I had the Admiral take it up with a knockout from the peasants, but from now on I may have to keep up with him thinking about that and taking command of the army.
I felt a rush in my heart as I continued to beat a small but overwhelming battle against my hegemonic opponent.
