Metal Lieutenant: “The enemy has started to flow to the left flank”
Disciple Soldier: “To begin with, it has always been an Oblique Order We keep theht flank However, the cavalry at the frontline is too disorganised to break through Though they have no breakthrough ability, they could try to pressure us by attacking from behind That’s the current state of affairs”
Metal Lieutenant shudders
Disciple Soldier: “Well, let’s get to work Lieutenant, it’s time for you and I to shi+ne”
Metal Lieutenant: “Yes!”
Footsteps
Metal Lieutenant: “Let’s go! Guards Units! Respond to the cavalry rolling up the left flank with long spears! Have no fear! Enemy numbers are equal to us!”
Disciple Soldier: (Equal numbers… If we could, that would work)
Metal Lieutenant: “Farmers! Soldiers! Lower your heads and thrust out your spears! Do not fear the horses! The enemy’s sword‘s reach is only from upon the horse, you are safe in the trenches!”
Metal Lieutenant: “Let’s go! For the sake of this land!”
Soldiers: “For the sake of the land!”
Scout: “Spear units on the left flank have contacted the ene!”
