I had suggested engaging in battle because I believed we had a chance at victory.
"Hmm..."
However, the declaration that we would face an overwhelming force of 180,000 troops inevitably dampened the officers' spirits.
I have a plan.
I began to speak, accustomed by now to the need for persuasion.
Our immediate goal is not to annihilate the enemy. Are reinforcements not currently on their way to us?
The Imperial Legion from the East of the Empire is diligently making its way here, and the Dwarf Troops sent by the Anchester Kingdom are also moving at a considerable pace.
If Caligo's Troops had arrived just a few days later, they could have joined us, but unfortunately, the enemy moved faster than our Allied Forces.
Our objective is to hold La Cata until the Reinforcements arrive. I believe you are all familiar with this.
...Haha...
