Later that day, an urgent meeting was held and all of the Astanian military officers in Midgard were invited.
The atmosphere was solemn despite their victory. This was because of the losses they incurred from the battle.
"We lost forty thousand warriors," Alaric announced the number of deaths and it made everyone's face turn dark.
"It's my fault, Your Highness. If I hadn't been so selfish, we wouldn't have lost…" Christon spoke with remorse, but he was cut off by Alaric.
"I am not looking for someone to blame here. Just promise me that we won't be making the same mistake again." Alaric sent him a cold look.
The Gryphon Knights Order lost half of their men. If Caecus hadn't been there, they would have lost more people.
"I understand. I will be more careful." Christon lowered his head.
