A short while after I returned to the bridge of the Argos, an offer of surrender came from the Imperial army.
I was sitting in my dedicated seat, and this offer surprised me a little.
"I thought they'd fight to the bitter end, but it seems the Three Knights are a rather disloyal bunch."
Still, it's far more human than vowing to fight for the Empire to the last man, so I personally find it rather likable.
Klaus, standing by my side, seemed to understand how the enemy commander felt.
"They must have judged that they couldn't win by continuing to resist. To the enemy, Cornelius, the head of the Three Knights, was their trump card and a significant pillar of morale. Without him... no, faced with you, Lord Liam, who defeated him, the commander must have wanted to prevent the needless sacrifice of his soldiers' lives."
A commander who cares for his subordinates.
However, not all of them were following the commander's orders.
Klaus said.
"However, only the enemy's left-wing fleet has surrendered. The enemy's central main force and right-wing fleet are still resisting fiercely."
