The war is over!

“...... The death toll was about three thousand seven hundred, the number of soldiers killed was one hundred and seventy-eight, the number of knights killed was eighteen, and the loss of economic property was ......" Edith's voice paused slightly, and her mood became more and more low, "It's hard to estimate!"

Sitting behind her desk, the maid crossed her hands on her forehead, her head hanging slightly, her eyes closed in exhaustion.

“...... Really?" she sighed heavily, "I see." ”

Edith pursed her lips, put down the papers in her hand, and turned to leave the office.

Serena sat in the empty office, not reaching for the report, she slowly opened her eyes, but they were blank.

She knew why the All-Seeing Eyes were starting this war, and she knew what they had to gain by doing so...... But she didn't want that to happen.

The chaos that erupted in the towns was quickly quelled, but it also led to the loss of many soldiers, including eighteen knights who had reached the 'transcendental' rank, which shows how much strength the enemy had invested in this battle.

However, they have invested so much strength, and they have not been able to get a corresponding return, and it can be said that the losses are quite heavy.

But Serena didn't want that to happen - they could have been able to slowly eliminate the 'All-Seeing Eye' and the 'Dragon Hunter Order', not in this way!

In the report, there are at least two 'transcendental' level mages in each town, and the elimination of these mages is a rather heavy loss even for the Kurkut Empire.

She didn't know if the 'Omniscient Eye' or even the 'Dragon Hunting Order' had already poured out, but at least, after destroying so many living forces, it would at least be able to stop them for a while.

Their plan had not been successfully completed, so they had not been able to destroy the duchy, but before that, if it had not been for Cervantes' dexterity, the duchy would have been destroyed by now...... What a formidable opponent.

Ziegler, Hill, and Osorio Neves all came back alive, however, they all had injuries of varying severity.

Among them, the red dragon was the least injured, only the vitality of his left hand was completely drained, and only one arm like a dead branch remained, but it could recover after a period of cultivation.

Latinia's Paladin Captain was far more powerful than they had predicted, and he nearly killed the enemy Legendary Warrior, but it did so at a terrible cost - a hole in his waist and abdomen, and almost half of his internal organs disappeared in the battle.

And the [food hunter] Hill ......

She was half paralyzed, and if it weren't for the enemy's legendary emergency retreat, she might have died there.

The maid apologizes for this and promises to provide her with enough food and delicacies in the time she recovers.

This war made Serena once again deeply aware of the shortcomings of the Principality of Sorrowful Wind, their strength is in the refinement but not in the quantity, in the quality rather than in the quantity.

Maybe that might be a good thing, but what are they going to do if there is another war next time? Let the already small number of soldiers die?

This lesson filled her heart with pain, because her 'mistake' led to the current situation - even if there are not many factors, but it also has her responsibility!

She should spend more money on research on magic machines, to research magic weapons, in order to improve the survivability of the soldiers!

But she didn't do that, she didn't choose to spend a lot of money on military development, but instead set her sights on the 'people's livelihood'......

If it was the Kurkut Empire, the Ogordon Empire, or even a country like the Kolo Kingdom, it would be understandable for her to do so, but their principality is a small and sparsely populated country, and they can't afford to die!

She had to solve this problem, and the death of someone else was 'just' a lesson for her, and that was what hurt her the most.

But as the ruler of a country, she must be rational enough, she must learn this lesson, and then make the country stronger.

Only in this way will foreign enemies not dare to invade easily and dare not easily wage war against them!

National security must be further guaranteed!

The maid took a deep breath and slowly stood up with her hands on the table, she looked up at the door of the office, her eyes becoming firm again.

She survived, relying on 'self-hypnosis' to survive again!

Yes, she 'must' do that, even if she's actually quite an emotional person......

From now on, the Principality's R&D policy will undergo some changes, and some of the expenses in the field of people's livelihood will be used to develop more powerful weapons and equipment, and only in this way can they avoid this kind of thing from happening again!

............

Looking at the reply letter in his hand, Grush silently clenched the letter paper.

He had known that the Duchy of Screaming Wind had been invaded by the lackeys of the Arcane Empire, but he had not expected that their losses would be so heavy.

In an era when the average population of a town barely exceeded 20,000, such huge casualties were quite horrifying.

In just a few hours, such a huge number of casualties have been taken, and now only the 'death toll' is counted.

It is uncertain whether the 'Knowing Eye' had poisoned the water and contaminated crops and food, and if that had happened, the Duchy would have been hit even harder.

"Why...... Grush whispered, "why do humans do this?"

"The mind is the most complex thing in the world. The red dragon on the side couldn't help but interject, "But I can't get used to that group of lackeys of the Arcane Empire, I remember that the 'Dragon Hunting Order' was very active before, right?

Grush glanced at him, then at the letter in his hand, "Maybe they're planning a vicious plan, just like this one. ”

Ondel took a deep breath, then closed his mouth, but his brow furrowed.

This time, the war waged by the 'All-Seeing Eye' against the Principality of Sorrowful Wind made him feel a little confused, what did they want to do with such fanfare, even at the expense of turning over some unknown hole cards?

Not only did the Principality of Screaming Wind not fall, but it still stands, and it seems that after this, not only this country, but other countries will be more vigilant.

Their plan seems to be ingenious, but if it fails, then it's 'useless'!

However, the 'All-Seeing Eye' has already done such a thing, and there is no guarantee that the 'Dragon Hunting Order' will do the same.

The Omniscient Eye is directed against a country, then the Dragon Hunting Order...... Probably against a dragon 'clan'!

"I think I'll have to inform them......" Ondel muttered to himself.

Grush nodded approvingly, "It's really possible, so it's also appropriate to inform the other dragon clans." And they probably weren't here to deal with the dragons, after all, they had done a lot of unforgivable things besides hunting them!"

Speaking of this, he inexplicably remembered the Church of Radiance and the Church of Justice.

If the Dragonhunters are the lackeys of the Arcane Empire, like the All-Seeing Eye, then their primary enemies must be the churches and gods......

He had to remind them too!
