Falcon strode in, adorned in garments lined with black feathers, his sharp gaze fixed on Oswald. Though his behavior bordered on insubordination, Oswald refrained from rebuking him.
Raging inside the command tent, Falcon's voice echoed with anger. "I told you, there will be no more deployment of our elites. Send another tribe instead!"
Oswald met the Black Hawk chieftain's fury with a calm, steady gaze. "Falcon, this war is not just your war—it is a war for all of us. Even if reconnaissance forces suffer losses, we must cooperate for the good of the Empire as a whole. Which tribe, if not yours, is equipped for reconnaissance?"
Grinding his teeth, Falcon retorted, "The elites we've lost were the pride of our tribe. Among them were even my own kin! Why must only our tribe make such sacrifices? The other five great tribes must share the burden equally for it to be fair."
