Due to the inherent limitations of their method of presentation, it was naturally impossible for them to have the thousands of soldiers mentioned in the story on the actual stage. They could only be proportionately scaled down on each side.
Dixie's army had started off with over seventy-five soldiers, while Emilia only had twenty. Now, however, the 'great general of Krass' only had around forty soldiers left.
To say that her advantage was gone entirely wouldn't be true, but at this point, their victory was no longer as assured.
After all, the opponent was already in an advantageous position, and unless she received reinforcements from Krass, it was likely that she would be left with barely a quarter of her initial force by the time they won.
Such a pyrrhic victory… the great general couldn't accept it at all. This was especially so since the opponent was just a little girl who hadn't even come of age a few years ago.
