"Too bad we still don't have enough Anti-Air Ballistas. We should hurry Viscount Wrynn along and have him supply us with more!"
The three hundred Anti-Air Ballistas Medivh sold to the Odyssey City-State had not been distributed among its forces. Instead, they had formed three Iron-Clad Ballista Battalions, which had performed brilliantly in the vanguard battle.
War inevitably brought casualties. The Odyssey Expedition's General Command Headquarters used the Iron-Clad Ballista Battalions, which had drawn the enemy's attention, as bait, luring the native legions into a decisive battle against the Expeditionary Army from a disadvantageous position.
The enemy forces were routed in this battle, securing a strategic victory. The native legions collapsed and could no longer hold back the advancing Vanguard Legion. The Odyssey Expeditionary Army had established a foothold on this plane.
Even with heavy protection, the Iron-Clad Ballista Battalions serving as bait could not avoid suffering losses. The three battalions lost 145 Anti-Air Ballistas in this battle, nearly wiping out one and a half battalions.
In this plane campaign, the Wrynn Family was responsible for overseeing all logistics. They had not taken part in the vanguard battle, and they did not send the Sky Bow Battalion to reinforce the front lines afterward.
Anti-Air Ballistas could be used in the field, to besiege cities, and to defend against aerial attacks. They were powerful weapons of war.
The Odyssey Expedition's General Command Headquarters hoped the Wrynn Family would sell them more Anti-Air Ballistas to make up for the losses suffered by the three Iron-Clad Ballista Battalions and form more such battalions.
The Odyssey City-State's Noble Council had spent a fortune, offering plane territories, magical materials, and all sorts of conveniences as bargaining chips. Medivh had accepted the offer and sold the Odyssey City-State a second batch of three hundred Anti-Air Ballistas.
