Chapter 252
To summarize extremely, the relationship between the army, the Seven Dragon Lords, and the Hero Party is akin to rock-paper-scissors.
Individuals cannot defeat the legion. However, occasionally, an ‘exceptional individual’ emerges who can overwhelm the legion.
At this point, the situation on the battlefield drastically changes. It becomes a scenario where you have to face both the ‘individual’ capable of confronting the legion and the ‘enemy legion’ led by that individual simultaneously.
By this time, the United Kingdom has lost nearly half of its territory.
Then, the hero appears. Like immune cells going wild just before death.
This ‘overwhelming individual’ cannot face the legion. The purpose is different. Instead of having the ability to confront the multitude, they focused solely on having a certain lethal capability against a few.
On the battlefield of large legions, the hero is ‘one person fighting exceptionally well.’ If the annihilation of the allies occurs faster than the annihilation of the enemies, this individual’s utility shines significantly.
However, if this ‘one person fighting exceptionally well’ is deferred to face the ‘independent entity capable of confronting the legion’…
The situation on the battlefield changes once again. Now, the United Kingdom can finally restart the war of ‘army against army’. The front lines, which had to retreat while enduring minimal casualties, are greatly expanded.
