"......!"

    Jinor’s face turned pale for a moment upon hearing my words—

    Then, gradually, his expression shifted into one of confusion.

    The initial shock of my statement aside, what truly puzzled him was the confidence with which I had declared, "Anima will lose this battle."

    "Swen, after all that cryptic nonsense, how did you come to such a conclusion?"

    Yuri was not Luna.@@@@

    Even if I went to her and simply stated this as a fact, she wouldn’t believe me. At best, she’d react just like Jinor did.

    If I wanted to convince them, I needed to support my conclusion with solid reasoning.

    So then—

    Fueled by revenge, they would recklessly throw their forces into battle.

    At first, that kind of emotional fervor might bring them a few victories,

    But in a prolonged war, they would inevitably fall to Serpina’s superior numbers.

    This was such an obvious outcome that I didn’t even need my intelligence to predict it.

    Their strength—the deep trust they shared, their bond forged through hardship—

    Was a rare asset in these chaotic times.

    In a world where betrayal was common and switching allegiances was not even considered disgraceful,

    Having people who could genuinely trust and rely on each other was invaluable.

    Just look at me and Airen. We were managing just fine despite our complicated circumstances.
