There was always a cause-and-effect in all things in nature
Whether it was the science-ruled Earth, or the mystery and miracle-filled another world, that rule alone stays the same
There was always a cause and a consequence
(What will happen, what is the consequence of this event)
Sudou and Sardina, the two of the
And Seria desperately tried to understand the situation while looking at Sardina who has her face down
(I'ist Think What do I knohat should I see in this situation All started the er arrived)
Seria could still rele conversations after the surprise attack
And finally, Seria noticed so
(Wait What did the er say? Part of our army sortied out?)
Then she remembered what Sudou said after that
(Sudou said we ht suffer fatal injury if we continue to act recklessly reckless? In other words, their sortie was not part of her highness' expectations Those troops came out from the camp, in other words, if the surprise attack was actually a decoy then the unit that sortied out will)
After she thought further ahead, all the pieces started to coether
(Depending on our troops' movements after this, it will decide the trend of the war And the real intention of letting Rolf-dono and Saitou calm the troops)
After that, Seria's thoughts come to a conclusion
”The surprise attack is a decoy Then what awaits for the lured unit is”
When Seria said those words, Sardina raised her face and look at her with a sharp look
Eyes filled with rage and sorrow
It showed that the conclusion that Seria had reached was the correct one
Sardina and Seria stared at each other in silence
Other than that, Sudou had an unchanging smile on his face
After a while, the heavy silence was broken by a knight who runs into the tent
He was co into the tent hastily
He kneeled before Sardina ih breath
”Report ! Saitou-sama and Rolf-sama have successfully calmed the army”
Seria unintentionally stroked her chest after she heard the report
It can be said that having Rolf as originally tasked to defend the rear co
At first, Sardina just wants more manpower before she launched the all-out battle, but it has unexpectedly brought good luck
It would've been impossible to calm the soldiers unless the words came out from a man with a proven track record like Rolf
Saitou was not bad either, but
he won't be able to calm the current situation alone
Seria smiled in relief
However, Sardina's wary expression have not yet disappeared
”How many soldiers went out without permission?”
”We've confirht thousands, the soldiersto the 3rd, 5th, and 8th chivalric orders that were part of the western region army”
Hearing that, Sardina clicked her tongue
If Zalda’s intention was to lure Orto back was low
(Eight thousands It's more than I had expected And as I had feared, it was the troops from the western area we had asked as reinforcements My command seems to not have spread properly)
Most of the reinforceone out without Sardina's permission
That was one of the Ee territory
Even though they had come from the same Imperial Army, for those ere not familiar with her command, it was particularly hard to enforce an order
Thus Sardina herself could not utilize them efficiently
”Rolf-sama also asked permission to sent a rescue unit”
Sardina didn't reply the er
If they do nothing, eight thousands ht well die
However, knowing that there was a trap, Sardina could not order the rest of the army to jump into it either
”We have no choice but to cut our losses, huh?”
Sudou opened hisat Sardina who kept silent
His voice felt irritating
Despite the current situation, Sudou's e
”Cut our losses, you said?”
Seria looked puzzled, unable to understand such term
”Yes, cut one's losses If we tried to help and save those soldiers poorly, we er disaster instead”
Cut one's losses
In term of business, it was a move where one abandons an enterprise or course of action that was clearly going to be unprofitable or unsuccessful before one suffers too much losses or harm
Following that thought, what did Sudou“cut our losses”?
The ansas
”We should not send a rescue unit, you want us to abandon theht?”
Seria held her breath when Sardina said those words while glaring at Sudou full of hatred
”Of course, if your highness wanted to This Sudou will not say anything ht be rude of me, I want to say that if we sent a rescue unit now, the chance of success for the invasion would be drastically reduced Furthero now,instead of a rescue ill be
bedefeat”
Sudou laughed lightly
It ritten on his face
That he wants Sardina to decide
”You already know that much yet still want me to decide huh?”
(Sudou Akitake He was the right-hand man of Gaies who had already passed away)
Although his personality can be said as nothing but disgusting, when it co
In fact, Sudou merely stated the truth
And like the old people said, sometimes the truth can be painful
”Of course If we let our subordinates got killed in front of us like that, the morale of the whole arhness choose, ill sustain heavy daest we take the choice with less dae”
”Should we maintain morale, or should we choose to preserve the soldiers' numbers, is that it?”
Sardina then chewed her thuernail
(If we don't send a rescue unit, the soldiers will be dissatisfied withthe ar that it was a trap, we ht suffer heavier losses instead)
Either choice was a ht cause the invasion to become a complete failure
It was a very difficult choice
And the right answer ht not exist when it comes to these two choices
