Chapter 6: A War that isn't Possible

Chapter 6) A War that isn't Possible

Draka was the commander that led the army of the Haven Empire.

"The captains aren't leading properly. A prolonged battle wasn't what I wanted."

The resistance from the northern users hadn't been that impressive. It wasn't a mature part of the Versailles Continent. The knights were far too weak.

However, if there was a strong leader then there would be some results. Weed caused a disaster and had Hestiger helping him.

If they had the ability then it was natural to use it. If he had the capacity for mass destruction then he would actively take advantage of it at every possible moment.

Most of Draka's complains were towards the leaders of the Haven Empire's army.

"The commanders are powerless. What use is the role of the knights and commanders?"

Lafaye and the Hermes Guild tended to carry out unbeatable tactics. The strongest army with 1.7 million troops.

Thanks to the exceptional formations and experience of the troops, they could confront many enemies.

Weed and Hestiger had entered the Haven Empire's army and was waging an infinite battle. They killed many users of the Hermes Guild but the Haven Empire's army hadn't collapsed yet.

"But the enemy's intention is to use close combat to wear us down and win the battle."

Draka held a meeting.

He didn't like the war so far. The northern users were an unstoppable force that kept on coming.

From a commander's perspective, this fight was too humiliating. A commander couldn't make any judgements like a scarecrow.

"The defensive formations of the army absolutely can't be defeated by the coming enemies."

In the case of the Central Continent.

Sometimes it was possible to fight with high numbers using the terrain. Or the commanders would take advantage of the knights in order to overcome many situations.

Being the leader of the commander of the northern conquest army was a great position of pride.

A huge army was curled up and unable to fight confidently. This was offensive to Draka's pride and honour as a commander.

In fact, he was upset but greed actually had a larger effect in his heart.

A powerful army that couldn't be defeated. A commander who wanted to use more aggressive tactics in order to win!

"This can be called a victory but... A battle isn't a simple thing."

Draka whispered to Balbaro who was the commander of the 2nd corps. They were close friends and colleagues.

-What is the situation?

-This is the forefront. The northern users are coming like crazy while the avians are attacking the front and rear.

-The damage?

-A lot of soldiers have died because of the disaster and the formations are a mess. It is being restored little by little so there are no problems blocking them.

-The battle... What will happen?

-Why are you asking?

-Just do it.

-Naturally it will be our victory. You know that we can't lose this battle. But it looks like we will be fighting for most of the day. The resistance of the north is strong. The siege weapons are broken and cumbersome.
