The main reason was that Leirus and Gray were fairly mediocre, while Lucia was capable enough that having her lead wouldn't weaken Lynn's army.
Dania was indeed capable. Lynn wanted to say that she was the version of Leticia who hadn't had any extraordinary encounters, undergone a drastic change in personality, or become showy—the perfect person to simulate those inexplicably appearing military geniuses.
Yuffie was the Empire's princess, so she understood its situation well and could simulate it effectively.
Vampire noble officers would be even better at simulating Louis's Army.
Once the rules had been explained, the wargame began.
Since preparations were underway, it would take time to rapidly stockpile supplies and finish the equipment, as well as to provide the rear with everything needed for transport, such as field kitchens, bicycles, and stoves for keeping warm through the winter.

Therefore, the assumed date of the operation was actually late November or early December. They had three months to capture Holy Sword Mountain!
Lynn's side had a force of 300,000, with 200,000 stationed to defend Lothair. Lynn planned to bring in the cold-resistant demi-human troops, reorganize the army, and bring over the new Skeleton Division, which had been formed from bandits captured in various regions and had already undergone three months of reconditioning.

Their role was similar to that of trench raiders and war beasts. After all, these were Lynn's true Direct Line Troops. Even the units below them were Direct Line Troops, but Lynn had less control over them than over
