Chapter 239: The Tin Knight and The Witch of Heaven’s Change (9)
“How on earth did things come to this?”
A deep lament escaped from Teur Rognir’s mouth.
He, who was essentially acting as the supreme commander for the Tower of Control side, was a capable man in many areas.
Not just in magic or politics, but his skill in commanding troops was also the same.
The Tower of Control had been training mages and soldiers for large-scale military operations for quite some time, and this was also their home ground.
Even if the individual skills of the Protection side mages were on par with the Control side, they had never trained assuming large-scale battles and were in a position to fight away from home.
Considering tactical movements and the defender’s advantage, their victory was as good as decided, even if there would be casualties.
That was why he couldn’t help but lament the current situation even more.
“If only they had followed my instructions instead of acting independently…!”
At a glance, it seemed like he was blaming Valdeus’ arbitrary actions, but in reality, it was aimed at the witch Mombi.
Originally, he hadn’t planned to put Mombi at the forefront, but to hide her among allied forces and use her like a blade in the shadows.
The chaos of a melee was the most suitable environment for Mombi to properly utilize her magic.
