"Advance or Retreat"

The marshal himself didn't want to fight a losing battle and lost tons of people under his wings for naught. He's not the only marshal serving the Godlif country. 

There were three other marshals beside him, and they were all secretly competing with each other. 

If he lost too many troops because of this war, he would be swallowed alive by the other marshals! 

Especially when the three marshals all had promising successors, but he still couldn't find a suitable one. 

The marshal was silent as he contemplated more about this war. He estimated whether his side could win the war or not and whether it was worth it to sacrifice so many troops…

He had to be honest that even if he could use his ghost fleet ability, he couldn't be sure they would win the war. The chance to win was even less than 50%. 

Should he continue the war? Or should he retreat? But the reinforcement would be here soon, and the total members would be around 10.000 troops.
