Mushoku Tensei: Reincarnated as a Beast Race

Surprisingly, things turned out far better than expected after an initial bloody clash.

After breaking through Milis’s line of defense, there were a few other complications, of course, but nothing truly worrisome.

Any noble house, merchant organization, or military institute remaining outside Milishion surrendered or was crushed by the Iron Legion.

There was resistance, yes, and fierce battles, but no position managed to hold back the Legion’s merciless advance for long. In some regions, the mere shadow of one of the divisions approaching was enough to prompt an immediate surrender.

Of course, the war was not without heavy casualties. In a conflict of this magnitude, expecting a clean conquest was unthinkable.

Many fell, including some important names who now could only be remembered by the living.

But in the big picture, the Legion’s advance was unstoppable and irresistible, sweeping through the sacred territory like a well-coordinated storm.

The Iron Legion’s main leaders and strategists—Rygar, Verdia, and Taes—still did not fully understand the high command’s mindset within the Church of Milis.

But it was clear that losing five or six generals, with the army completely defeated in open field, was not part of their plans.

This exposed that there were certainly limitations in the so-called Divine Visions of Pope Lucios Galard.
