Norea Empire, Mobile Imperial Capital.
"Your Majesty, we have now arrived at the Tuhr Realm. Should we attack immediately, or continue waiting for the Empire's second wave of reinforcements?"
Inside the great hall, a minister stood before Toreya and asked.
"Attack immediately, but this time, leave sufficient forces behind to guard the Cross-border Device and prevent the Heretics from carrying out another reverse-crossing tactic!"

With more than 2,400 legions left behind, even if the other side truly launched another reverse-crossing tactic with all their forces, and even if they really used 2,050 legions to wipe out his 2,400 legions—
That would not matter!
These were 2,400 legions. Even if they were defeated by the Heretics, there was no way they could be wiped out within five days. At the very least, it would take more than ten days.

With enough troops, he could do whatever he wanted!
Of course, there was another possibility: the Heretics might not carry out a reverse-crossing tactic.
That did not matter either.
Or rather, such a development better
