"As long as we can weaken their potential for war, it's worth engaging in battle now."
Caesar III remarked, trying to maintain his composure.
He was nervous on the inside, but he had to exude enough calmness to soothe the hearts of those under him.
Logically speaking, Duke Newfoundland had also said something similar to his subordinates.
Everyone knew that these were merely comforting words, and yet they still wanted to hear them. When people are filled with uncertainty, they long for reassurance.
Even if this validation is without substance, it provides comfort to the soul.
Being adept at politics, Caesar III would naturally not disappoint his followers in this regard. If the leader shows a lack of confidence, wouldn't his subordinates become even more afraid?
This large-scale war that involves the survival of their species isn't only of great concern to the Alpha Kingdom; the Orc Empire also treads carefully.
