On the Ranger's bridge.
The two captains looked grim. Although the battle was going in their favor, the results so far were far from satisfactory.
"Those toy-like little things can actually execute sophisticated tactical maneuvers! That kind of imagination only comes from beings with advanced intelligence!" the Winged Race captain said with a frown.
"Hmm... leaving their combat intelligence aside, there's also their size..." The Sea Race captain pointed out another crucial detail.
Indeed, the miniature robots were only about twenty centimeters tall. Small they might be, but they saved the nation materials!

"Winning through sheer numbers? An army of robots, every one equipped with advanced combat intelligence, would certainly be a headache. But while these things work against Hounds, they won't be nearly as effective against medium-sized weapons or larger. If our enemy thinks they can defeat us with these things, they're far too naive!" the Winged Race captain said.
"Agreed! We've already collected their remains. Have the researchers at the base analyze them first. But make sure they're told to 'disinfect' them beforehand, in case the enemy tries any little tricks!" the Sea Race captain ordered.

The scientists exclaimed in amazement. A few even wanted to go up and touch the Hound's Tail
