Anton had always thought that he was just making up the numbers at this pre-war council. He was not a member of the Arias family, nor did he hold any significant position within the castle. He was only a teacher sent by the Silver Moon Church to enlighten the children of the nobility.
The fact that he could attend and observe was probably because the Arias family wanted to honor the Silver Moon Church, so Anton was very conscious. Up until now, he had not participated in any discussion, had not expressed any opinion, and had not even spoken a word.
Thus, he was utterly surprised to find himself the center of attention at this war council, when he realized all eyes in the hall were fixated on him, many filled with anticipation.
The Universal Language teacher was also a bit flustered, and stuttered, "But... but the Church doesn't have an army."
