∞ 79: A post-battle report [written]
Everyone drafted out to Desset City should be accounted for by now. My gratitude to those who successfully worked together while we were out there.
I am sure there are residents and recent arrivals who may have questions about the situation and what we encountered out there. As longer-term residents may remember, we first encountered an army of cultists last autumn -- these cultists are referred to as the Third Party. The members of the Third Party, unlike us, have the ability to fly and Shift their surroundings. The scientists keeping us in this barrier, the Malnosso, drafted several of us to head out to another settlement.
We have been told that Desset City, the location we were sent to, was one of several settlements outside of our village. It was unlike anything seen within our barrier prison. The troops we met were an occupational force, maintaining patrols and one major base of operations that became apparent towards the end of our campaign. Despite the Third Party having a greater number of troops, we prevailed. The arrival of electricity and appliances coincide with our successful return.
Of note is the fact that draftees who initially refused were dragged by force onto the battlefield. These reluctant draftees were given less time to prepare, and included the likes of children. If you are drafted in the future, be aware that refusal does not appear to be a valid option. You will be taken and put to work, or you will be killed out there.
The New Feather cycle should begin shortly, so everyone should be on alert and maintaining their patrol schedules. This is especially important with the heightened amount of conflict in Luceti. Patrols should be properly equipped for skirmishes by now, so I'll forgo any other needless reminders.

I would like to have a word with the Organization's CEO.

Strategy is a skill of many levels, many venues. You will have to specify.

You are already a warrior and blacksmith, as I understand it. What are you willing to do on the battlefield? Are you willing to place your life above those of your friends? Are you able to stand back and not follow them after issuing suicidal orders?

I'd never put anyone in that kind of situation.

Fortunately for you, the situations presented thus far do not involve thousands of soldiers. Fewer factors, fewer risks.

Besides that... I guess not much. Although between just three of us, we took out a dozen Fire Machine Airships before they could incinerate the Earth Kingdom.

One medium-sized campaign. I see.
[...Why is he even considering this?]
