So exactly what happen for example did Ryouma use some sort of man made flood like last time during first civil war in Rozeria Kingdom and try to do the same thing again in order to defeat Lupis army or did he do something else? How many soldier died or killed when the queen army scattered was it more 100,000 being killed from the open battle confrontation? So what happen next like for example did he finally get lupis to negotiated to surrendered after her army was scattered? Last edited by stevenjai1; 2021-11-23 at 04:09. |

The rest is sound tactics and strategy. The funny thing is thinking a 2-1 number advantage is enough, even in the open field. That is why quality of forces is so critical. We already know that Ryoma has superior soldiers and so should Lupis since Elena betrayed him and was there to witness the skill of his troops in battle against the Empire. Thanks for summarizing it. |

Its not surprising. Myest sees the unrest in Rhoadseria that not only destabilizes them but risks their safety. In the last civil war, Myest couldn't send reinforcement to an ally against the empire because Rhoadseria was in turmoil and in the way. By Wortenia is now a trade hub and its leader is war savant and leagues more intelligent than Lupis.

And seriously, 100K but low morales and low supply means they're effectively only equals to a 50K forces at best.

Likewise, the enemy is so cocky in any scenario that they assume a numerical superiority is set in stone. There is also the assumption that any otherworlder is enslaved means that they discount this threat in conflict without one specifically known to be fighting, which the merchant and those with intelligence apparatus don't. Pride is the greatest ally of Ryoma in this world because it is often pride that is the downfall of his enemies. |

What you gather from this series as that the use of prana and thaumaturgy let the humans of this world think they could shortcut around strategy and tactics. They think strength of knights and number of peasant conscripts can bypass the basics of warfare. We see that practitioners of true war are either regarded as upstarts or geniuses. Helena is one example, the other was the son of the general in Xarooda that everyone considered a drunkard and failure and then fought a bloody guerilla war successfully after his father helped cripple the enemy offense in a suicide charge. However, it seems like each collection of nobles (empire, kingdom, faction, etc), only tolerate one genius per society and even then keep them under their grips rather than acknowledging their potential.
Ryoma is a skank in the mud pie to the nobles' self perceived value. |

That is because for all her talk about caring for the common people, she is still an elitist herself. She thinks she is better and that her followers are more important. As such, she doesn't see the fault in sacrificing total victory for the life of a subordinate who indirectly betrayed her by not doing his best out of pride. Lupis still represents a corrupt system and naturally fears what Ryoma illustrates, a world where the strongest and most talented earn their prize through merit, not by name.
Her blindness to this hypocrisy on elitism is the slow knife that she never parried. |
