This was a catastrophic loss.
Eleven Knight Titans, more than nine hundred Sentry Mechas, five hundred thousand troops either scattered, annihilated, or captured...
The kingdom's army had gathered, the troops executing this all-out assault, could now be described as utterly destroyed!
For the King's Council at the rear, it was as if the sky had fallen.
Had they ever anticipated a defeat?
Of course, they had.
In war, one always considers the possibility of losing and the problems of remedying the situation afterward.
But none of their preconceived scenarios of loss were as tragic as this.
At worst, they figured they might bite off more than they could chew against the Alliance's defense line, to no avail;
The most dire outcome would have been a disgraced retreat under a counterattack by the Alliance's armored forces and the Interstellar Warriors.
There could have been losses of some Knight Titans, there might have been significant damage.
