Chapter 1176: A [Flaw]

Roland cast Edith a surprised glance

After the overnement of the General Staff, and the Chief of General Staff, Edith Kant, naturally becaet of these unkind attacks In addition to the Ad Spell also raised objections Tilly waved these skeptical voices into silence immediately and thereby reduced the impact of this temporary outbreak of resentment to the minimum

Edith had also requested for disciplinary action when she had come back from the front However, Roland had declined her request and hushed up the whole thing

Because he knew this was not Edith's fault

On the contrary to a defeat, the ”Torch” cahtered nearly 20,000 demons at the cost of only 500 casualties and recovered the Taquila Holy City lost to the deo Undoubtedly this was a major victory

Everybody kne much the General Staff had done for the war

In fact, Roland had discussed this atha and Alethea in private, and all of theely attributed to the unexpected behavior of the enemy Even the Three Chiefs back in the Union would not have been able to predict that the demons would let the opportunity to take over the entire continent slip just because of a feitches

Nevertheless, it was undeniable that Edith had indeed lost to Ursrook Roland anticipated that she would succu criticisreat consternation, Edith reain, blurted out a co?”

”First is the last two sentences,” Edith said while pacing up and down, her head hanging ”If he succeeds, the demons should increase their forces tenfold Doesn't it sound strange? If the deoal was to wipe out the human race, then they should have taken Taquilato deal with their eneiven up on Taquila coests they should come back and eliminate us”

Moe Why didn't they do that in the first place?”

”Because of the Red Mist?” Nightingale said tentatively while propping her chin on her hand

”The demons aren't likely to send all their forces, but they could have increased the troops by ten ti as they sent iant skeletons,” Agatha said, frowning ”It took us over half a year to build the ten railway stations, so the deh time to make a choice”

”The General Staff uy, Kabradhabi's testi a battle of life and death against the ene at the Senior Deation stand ”However, this letter is suggesting that even if they lose the battle, the demons would still survive and possibly even have a chance to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat So, why didn't the demons send reinforcements to Taquila instead? It doesn't make sense Their operation intention contradicts their action”

Everyone lapsed into thoughts

”Also, this one, 'I know my action will subject you to criticism, but I don't think it'll affect your plan for the Western Front',” Edith readwith this statelance, but it doesn't bear close examination He went to pursue the witches and did lose Taquila Will it really not i to hoodwink his superior?” Roland said thoughtfully ”nobles usually tend to do that”

”Your Majesty, please view him as the most difficult enemy we've ever come across!” Edith said tersely ”Just treat him as another version of s like that?”

Looking at her clenched fists, Roland suddenly came to the realization that Edith was not as unflappable as she appeared She was not completely immune to the skeptical remarks behind her back either but simply had chosen not to listen to them
