"This is impossible, that definitely wasn't a middle-rank spellcaster!"
"Mr. Kaman, are you sure you didn't see it wrong? Was that really a True Dragon?"
"Doesn't the Bay Territory only have a little over 1000 soldiers? How could we possibly be defeated?"
"We must fight back, we must fight back!"
"Fight back with what? That was already one third of the power of our territory. Are we to commit everything into it?"
"We shouldn't confront the Bay Territory in the short term; we lack detailed intelligence on them."
"We'll talk about the fight later, the key now is how to deal with the subsequent effects."
"That's right, we must redeem our surviving elite soldiers. It takes at least 3 to 4 years to train one, and talents are hard to come by."
"Also, those regular soldiers, if we don't want to replace them with our own people, we must redeem them too…"
"Yes, the conscription day that comes once every two years is almost upon us!"
