There was a huge difference between the modern wars Ethan knew from Earth and the wars fought on Estria.
On Earth, modern conflicts tended to drag on across long, entrenched battle lines, and major engagements capable of deciding everything were rare.
Almost always, they were long, endless skirmishes that stretched on for months or even years with no clear end in sight.
On Estria, things were quite different.
For a large Empire, with immense logistical power and an absurd number of men of fighting age, wars lasted a very long time, involving dozens—sometimes hundreds—of battles and sieges.
In the small conflicts between Lords, however, the scenario was completely different. One or two sieges, perhaps one or two major battles, were enough to decide everything.
It was not uncommon for these wars to end in a single head-on clash, with one side being crushed once and for all.
The war Ethan was waging now was of this type.
