"Linda, I want a report," Master commanded.
"The war is proceeding as we planned," Linda reported. "Our marching rush had caught the enemy by surprise. That first day had reaped large casualties on the enemy's side. They went into a defensive state after that. But with Aurebor pinning them from the other side, it was only a matter of time until they are defeated. We have chipped off their force in these past four days. I estimate in another four or five days, they will be routed."
"We beat the enemy's first army in a lesser time frame, why does it need longer time now that we have an ally and has the enemy pinned?" Master asked with dissatisfaction.
"That's because, under this situation, we can win without many losses. We should take our time and whittle their force. If we put them in a desperate situation, their resistance will be greater and thus cost us more losses than we need to. We let them think that they still have a chance to win and slowly weaken them."
