    “My Leader. Urgent report from the High Command Office. The 25th Magipanzer Corps of the Western Army have stalled a few miles from the jungle. The 33rd Magipanzers Corp of the Eastern Army has been put to a stop in the jungle.”


    “What are the casualty reports?”


    “In the 33rd Magipanzer Corps, the 1st Battalion of the 37th Magipanzer Regiment and the 1st Battalion of the 26th Magipanzer Regiment can be considered completely destroyed. In addition, the 7th Infantry Regiment has suffered some losses. In the 25th Magipanzer Corps, the 2nd Battalion of the 10th Magipanzer Regiment can also be considered completely destroyed. The current casualty estimate is a total of 5,000 elves with at least 300 magipanzers destroyed.”


    “Get a car ready. I’m going to the High Command Office.”


    “Where is Field Marshal Gael?”


    “Right here, My Leader.”


    “Can you explain the report that I just got?”


    “My Leader… It’s completely true. We are currently re-evaluating the situation.”


    “It’s a problem for the Army. What did Field Marshal Trasalor say about this?”


    “Field Marshal Trasalor said that this wasn’t a problem and we should just keep going.”


    “Get me Field Marshal Trasalor.”


    “What is it, My Leader?”


    “What is happening out there?”


    “Uh, what do you mean?”


    “I just got a report saying that we have just incurred another 5,000 casualties and that the Western and Eastern Front has stalled.”


    “My Leader. You have to understand. Defeats happen. This was to be expected.”


    “DEFEATS HAPPEN!? A single Blitzpanzer Division pushed back these humans for hundreds of miles on AN ENTIRE FRONT, BY ITSELF yet you say these same humans were able to defeat an entire Magipanzer Corps!? A SINGLE Blitzpanzer Division! It’s one of the most lightly FUCKING armed division in the ENTIRE FUCKING ARMY! It was designed based on speed! Not the fucking hard-hitting Magipanzer Corps. They were designed to break through the enemy lines! It was only a few days ago that mere Blitzpanzer Divisions were pushing these humans back and NOW you are telling me that the humans somehow, in this short amount of time, were able to regroup, mobilize, and counter our Magipanzer Corps! You better start seeing this as a problem and start thinking of solutions!”

    “What wave are we on?”


    “The third wave is currently landing.”


    “What are the current numbers of our invasion force?”


    “We should have… more than a million ground troops, six thousand magipanzers, and a thousand aircraft in the human Empire by the time the 3rd wave finishes landing.”


    “Have the first wave stop and link up with the rest of its force. Wait for the Air Force and the second wave of ground forces to catch up. Oh also, speed up the landings. Something doesn’t feel right.”


    “Get me the Head of the Intelligence Department and the Head of the Advancement Department.”


    “My Leader!”


    “Sit.”


    “You two have heard of what was recently going on in the war, correct?”


    “As up to date as yesterday, My Leader.”


    “New information has come in today. We have suffered 5,000 casualties and the Western and Eastern Front has come to a halt.”


    “That’s terrible, My Leader!”


    “I have called you two in today because I have received information from the General Staff that the humans are possessing helicopters.”


    “Hm? Humans possessing helicopters? I’m confident in our department’s prediction. The humans should not have helicopters based on their predicted technological advancement. Could it be another aircraft or a special dragon?”


    “No. The description clearly matches a helicopter.”


    “I think I know why the humans possess advanced aircraft.”


    “Elaborate.”


    “And why did you not tell me this earlier?”


    “Sorry, My Leader, but it was only one newspaper article. We could not confirm it with any other source. Giving false information would be much worse than giving none. However, recent events clearly show that this article may hold some truth.”


    “I thought you had agents attached to the Army units? Why were you only able to secure such a small amount of intelligence?”


    “Well, the Army keeps on burning everything down! We can get no intelligence because everything turned into charcoal!”


    “Why are we stopping?!”


    “Orders directly from the Leader. We are to stop and prepare defenses.”


    “What happened?”


    “Seems like the Western and Eastern Army have been beaten back.”


    “What?! How?!”


    “I’m not sure of the exact details but orders are clear. Stop advancing. We will reorganize and set up defenses. We will wait until the second wave catches up.”>>>


    “We have been given orders to retreat, regroup and set up a defense line. We will wait for the second wave of units to arrive before we begin our offensive.”>>>
