"Initially, I said you were playing with fire, careless even slightly, and you would burn yourselves to ashes. Now, do you believe me? But it's already too late. Darama has been offered to the Goddess of Strategy, and it has become her holy ground. Once we dispatch our troops on a large scale, the followers of the Red Knight may very well join the ranks of our enemies. Even now, there are quite a few followers of the Goddess of Strategy among our troops, especially among the mid- and lower-level front-line commanders."

When the time comes, the dukes to the west will surely be more anxious than us. After all, we still have the east as a buffer, while their space will shrink increasingly. The conflicts will escalate, and we can just sit back and enjoy the show."
