Philedrica saw Charles's expression and roughly guessed his thoughts, speaking in a low voice, "There must be Transcendents among the enemy ranks, the castle is insufficient as a reliance."
Charles thought to himself, "Transcendents can decide the victor, but they can't determine the outcome of the war!"
The nature of warfare on the Old Continent was unlike anything Charles knew of from any era on Earth, due to the existence of Transcendents.
Although Charles could not even be considered an armchair general, he understood that the essence of war is interest. High-Level Transcendents might decide the victor, but without enough soldiers, it is impossible to grasp the fruits of victory. Without sufficient war dividends, a country would become weaker with each battle.
Transcendents cannot decide everything.
