C449: Unexpected / Cruz

I had expected a certain amount of contingency, but I did not think it would deviate so much from my intentions.

I had intended to punish the division commander of the Flying Dragon Division severely if even one magicrafts was destroyed but I did not expect them to be eradicated in such a short time……

I am confused about this unusual situation. How could a unit made from Exlanders be annihilated by just two magicrafts?

What tricks did the enemy use……or am I missing something……?

Moreover, the battle on the ground is not going well.

I know that the terrain is difficult for us to attack, but there are a number of Exlanders on the ground as well.

I had expected to be able to force our way through the enemy’s triple highlanders, but all of them were bounced back at the entrance to the pass. It seems that they are waiting for us in a very strong defensive formation.

Even if we won’t lose, the damage would only get worse so I decided to regroup the troops and I ordered them to halt their attack and retreat.

They showed no signs of pursuing us as we retreated. It appears that they are still too occupied with defending themselves to do anything if we stay at a distance.

But what to do……If we continue to attack in the same way, the situation will not change. I may still need to use a different card.

As I was thinking that, the card talked to me. Just hearing its voice makes me uncomfortable, but there is no doubt that it is a useful card.

“Commander Cruz, you seem to be fighting a very hard battle, since you ordered the entire army to retreat. My Aphrodite is already ready. You may ask for it at any time.”

“I would like to say so……but yes, I think it’s time to see your power as one of the Ten Gods of War.”

“Since it’s a request from the commander, I can’t not respond to it. So, where should I hit?”

“Well, it would be helpful if you could destroy the enemy at the entrance to the pass and open the way for the others.”

“I understand. Then, Reina, one of the Ten Gods of War, and her direct troops will go out immediately to conquer the entrance to the pass. Please enjoy the power of this Reina to the fullest~.”

It was unpleasant to owe this woman a favor, but I could still put up with it if I thought I was using her.

If she succeeds, it will be good for the army, and if she fails, it will make me personally feel better. Either way, it would not be bad.

Reina’s exclusive magicrafts, Aphrodite, is a lightweight, slim-looking machine with a large sickle as its weapon. Her personality seems to show in her choice of weapons, which is in poor taste.

The unit under Reyna’s direct command is a small unit of about 10 members, but it is literally an elite unit composed entirely of Double Exlanders.

Rumor has it that some of them were candidates for the Ten Gods of War, and they are said to have considerable combat power. Well, since this is the first time I have actually seen them, I am looking forward to seeing how good they are.
