One of the battalion commanders suddenly spoke, "Your Highness, the Princess sent us here to obey your orders. We will not retreat and will fight to the death. Our morale will not matter since the enemy outnumber us by so much. This is what military books say so, please give us your orders."
Saleen was stunned. He immediately realized that these four battalions that Lex had handed over to him were all made up of experienced soldiers. There was no need for him to try and boost their morale because the battalion commanders would have done so themselves. The most important thing now was to explain his strategy and allow the battalion commanders to make their own preparations.
No amount of morale would help when one was outnumbered by the enemy. The phrase they spoke was striking; 'we will fight to the death'.
Sikeqinyans would never be able to understand that feeling. The generals who were born in Qin did not fear dying on the battlefield.
