Announcent Here now starts a longer interlude regarding what Chera did before she arrived at the council.
After the battle at the wormpath.
- Dilion -
The situation seems untenable.
So to say, hopelessly dire.
Surrounded by these creatures as we are, it's clear that the sad remnants of us no longer stand a chance of fighting.
While most of the enemy forces separated with the two princesses, the last third remains.
They took our weapons and are more nurous and in better condition than we are.
From one thousand who entered this tunnel system, only between two to three hundred remain.
About their general condition, I don't even want to get started.
All of this because the lord couldn't let go.
He was literally obsessed.
The way he sacrificed our n in the palace.
Or how he chastised for not pushing for the princess against the overwhelming forces we faced.
Serving this man was truly a chore.
And see where it got !
Sigh, but complaining once things go wrong is easy.
If he would've succeeded, this could've decided the war in our favor.
Every single one of us knew this and was willing to give their lives.
Now blaming the one in charge is unreasonable.
As a simple troop commander, I don’t carry much authority on the battlefield, yet as Gioras’ direct aide, I held significant responsibility for his operations.
Of those assembled here, quite a number were selected by to be part of this army.
n and won who love their country enough to risk death in this devious underworld.
Yet, at this point, many of them have found it, and as such, left tentatively in charge of the survivors.
However, the ones to whom they were directly loyal to are dead, and defeat and subsequent captivity by giant insects have left them all frightened.
As am I.
The one positive point seems to be that the insects don't intend to kill us this instant.
So of the so-called nurses even treated the injured, which is probably going to dramatically reduce the expected number of causalities.
Yet who knows if this might change in the near future, as none of us knows what they're planning?
When I look at this princess, she seems to be in a mix of eager proactivity and questioning contemplation about how to deal with us.
(C)
Yeah, just as unreasonable as my boss.
I should act before she loses her temper.
So I walk out of our throng of people and raise my voice.
"Your Highness, I fear that these people won't be able to understand you." (D)
(D)
(C)
Hmm, she seems truthfully interested in the subject.
This could be good.
(C)
Well, if this doesn't sound ominous.
(C)
As if I would know. It's not like just telling them they won't get eaten is in any way convincing.
(C)
This seems to beco excruciatingly difficult.
It's clear that she has no idea how humans work.
(C)
Should I disclose this?
It's not like it matters much for our situation at this point.
We already lost.
The few guards left behind at the camp won't change anything about this.
(C)
(D)
(C)
What is it now with her?
(D)
(C)
Damnit. Is she planning on attacking the surface?
But even if her forces increased compared to before, this much is certainly not enough to conquer noteworthy territory, not to speak of holding it.
(D)
I'd even say she got the half that was worse off than the other.
It shouldn't end well to just attack without any thought.
