Prince Odoruo had been melancholic ever since he learned of Gustav's latest defeat.
As long as the intelligence from Tec and Castro was correct, Prince Odoruo was certain the time he'd chosen would be when the humans were at their most exhausted.
If the humans had simply held the advantage of favorable timing and terrain in the previous encounters, then the rout of Gustav's Beastman Army shattered any of Prince Odoruo's wishful thinking.
The raw strength of these humans was simply off the charts.
Even when Prince Odoruo had deliberately picked the timing, the enemy still managed to crush his so-called elite soldiers despite being outnumbered.
"Your Highness... well, victory and defeat are common in war. This sort of thing..." Elder Linton said, looking at the melancholy Prince. For a moment, he didn't know how to comfort him. 'Victory and defeat may be common in war, but there's no reason for us to lose every single time.'
