Blitz: Respite (1)

With no high-ranking superior to give them orders, around 72% of the army Lira had brought chose to surrender. The remaining 28% chose martyrdom, believing that death was better than betraying the empire.

Most soldiers that belonged to the latter were part of Ingrid's force. The rest were all under Gael. It was ironic that the resolve of those under the Grand Marshal was far weaker than those under a Deputy Marshal.

Since most soldiers chose to surrender, Kyran did not go on a killing spree. He might be ruthless when it comes to dealing with his enemies, but he did not delight in mindless killing. Thus, he chose to make good use of everyone who was smart enough to surrender.
