"You all did well."
Kael began. And honestly, to the soldiers, those words felt… like a lie.
After all, they knew the truth.
The only thing they did throughout the battle was watch as Lady Lavinia and Dragon Rider Kael dealt with the enemies. Even the Flying Unit, which was technically fighting under Dragon Rider Kael's command, was the same.
They weren't fighting with their lives on the line. Kael's command made sure none of the Flying Unit members did something outside of their capabilities. The weaker ones only acted as distractions, targeting the Stonefangs' weak aerial balance, and the stronger ones dealt the damage—all under Kael's command.
It was almost as if Dragon Rider Kael knew exactly how strong every single member of the Sky Unit and the Stonefang they were attacking was, giving almost perfect instructions.
Together with this, he was also taking the full brunt of Stonefang attacks, making sure to deal with every Stonefang that passed the Flying Unit's formation.
