"Judging purely from the battlefield, we were overly optimistic. Our initial plan was to severely cripple the Green Dragon's legion, thereby taking advantage of the forest forces' weakness to push the battle line back into the forest, even going so far as to invade and completely destroy the Green Dragon's nest."
Upon hearing this, Su Li nodded slightly. Before the battle, they underestimated the Green Dragon's tactical abilities. Now, with significant human casualties, Su Li had little hope of completely destroying the Green Dragon's nest. With only these remaining troops, if they were to venture into the forest, they might repeat the Green Dragon's misfortunes, suffering heavy losses and being pushed back again.
If they were truly pushed back, the Hesse Territory's army would be completely decimated, not even retaining a scale of 1,000 people. The remaining human troops wouldn't even be able to defend the castle.
