Chapter 194 - War Report gets exaggerated
I’ve received reports of the battle commencing.
There’s nothing I can do right now.
My turn will come after the war is over.
I also told them in advance that they don’t need to contact me every time.
I can’t help but sigh when it comes to combat.
I liked it in the game, but that’s because it’s just a game and soldiers are really numbers.
In reality, they are just numbers for convenience…
However, I’ve been told not to worry too much about this.
I can’t seem to calm down.
I can answer the consultation properly, but I don’t feel like searching for an issue from myself.
So this is what they mean when they say you can’t get any work done.
In comparison, the women were calm and collected.
What a shameful sight I am.
After a few days of this, the report finally came.
The beastman who was the messenger brought the report to us.
The messenger could hardly contain his excitement as he opened his mouth.
“I report to you, my lord, that the battle has been a great victory. Our damage is minor and the enemy’s damage is major!”
Mil and Kiara looked happy.
It is a psychological thing to want to exaggerate the message when you are in high spirits.
The more bewildered the people around me, the more indifferent I seemed to be.
“Thank you for the hard work. Please tell me the specific damage to us and the damage to the enemy.”
The messenger looked disappointed, as if he thought I’d be overjoyed too.
But he quickly regained his composure and continued with his report.
“We have 39 dead and 181 wounded. The enemy’s losses were about 1,800 dead beasts and 160 prisoners. Human casualties are approximately 120 dead and 400 prisoners!”
One-fifth of the damage can’t be called very minor, though.
Let’s decide on the rules for reporting that in the future.
“I understand. What did Sir Rossi say?”
“Ha! He wants to ask for my lord’s instructions on the future course of action.”
So that’s how it will end no matter what.
I had expected that.
I folded the paper in the drawer, sealed it, and handed it to the messenger.
“I’m sorry to ask of this even though you have just arrived, but this is for Sir Rossi. It contains my instructions.”
The messenger bowed and walked out.
Kiara’s face turned surprised.
“Brother, you have already thought of the results and what to do afterwards?”
I shrugged my shoulders deliberately.
“I don’t know. Anyway, we should prepare to receive the wounded in the sanatorium town for treatment. Make sure that their families can stay there as well.”
Kiara said with a huff.
“Yes, what about the injured prisoners?”
“They will be in a different place. We need to monitor them. Whatever it is, I’ll leave it to Sir Rossi.”
Mil’s expression seemed to want to know what I thought.
“Al, what are we going to do now?”
I can’t really make any plans at this point.
I shake my head.
“I’m not sure yet. But I can tell you that we don’t have to worry about our life today or tomorrow.”
“So you’re waiting for more information?”
“Yes, and order any medical supplies that may be in short supply from the Chamber of Commerce. In the worst-case scenario, we may need the women’s help for their treatment.”
“I’ll let Ardelheid know.”
I sighed deeply when I saw the two leave in a hurry.
The two guards went with them, so I was the only one left in the room.
The organization in this area needs to be gradually expanded.
There were 39 dead.
I wonder how many of the 181 people who had been injured would lose their lives due to worsening injuries, and how many would have problems with their lives in the future.
The more I think about it, the more I sigh.
Winning is important, of course, but if we make mistakes after winning, we will end up destroying ourselves.
And what will the enemy do in the future.
We can’t just leave the cat people, who have been decimated by the plague, unmarked.
There’s no end to the worries.
If we’re not careful, we could end up in a war with the demon tribe as well.
Either way, our national power is vulnerable.
We’ve exerted ourselves in this battle.
Everyone is too elated from the victory to realize it right now…
It would have been easier if we were in a position to make some noise together.
