Chapter 36: The Price of War.
"The Battle of Brunag taught me many lessons about war, especially its cost."
"How men whom you have thousands of gold on, spend years with and even made friends with...."
"Can die in a second on the battlefield."
"As a sword, cares not for your status, wealth or circumstances."
"For is an object which cuts a man without discrimination sending kings, lords, knights and commoners to the embrace of death."
"What matters is the person wielding it as it is people, sentient beings who discriminate the most in this world."
Reginald Coulan, creator and head of House Aurellion in dynasties online.

[The bloodlust skill is still in effect, some of your troops will refuse to retreat.]
’Damn’
Wurgoth shouted in his mind when he saw the system notification appear, regretting his decision to try to break through with bloodlust as it had now come back to bite him and prevented him from retreating with his entire army. However, the effect did allow the orcish heavy infantry to take only 2500 casualties from the Chavarian heavy infantry compared to the 4000 casualties they inflicted on the Chavarians. The 20% increase in attack combined with the orc’s naturally high physical attributes made their attack devastating, allowing them to have a near 2:1 kill-to-death ratio when fighting their physically weaker human opponents.
’At least those stubborn ones can be used as a rearguard or cover for the rest of the army to retreat.’
