Intro
The office located in the innermost part of the 3rd Corps Araignée headquarters.
Documents are stacked neatly on the desk, and several medals are displayed along the wall. Standing by the window, Charles was smiling while looking down at a report.
...I have understood. Then, please advance the second company.
The sound of someone's agitated voice can be heard.
Yes. The attrition rate will likely be high.
It was an incredibly calm response.
However, in exchange, we can certainly break the enemy's right wing. As a result, the losses for the entire 3rd Corps will be minimized. It's rational, isn't it?
"...But, more than two hundred people might die." A trembling voice replies. Immediately, Charles turned his gaze toward them.
It's also possible it will only be two hundred.
Charles closed the document.
That is what war is, after all. If it is a necessary loss to win, I do not see it as a problem.
Silence fell. Judging that there were no more opinions, Charles looked away.
Now, go convey the order. The only response is "Yes." I don't need any extra words.
──After those words were heard, one person hurried out of the room. Next is Guest's turn.
...Come in. What is your business?
Charles spoke to you behind the door while his pen moved across the documents.
