On the battlefield, Malin led the soldiers along the line of defense to cut down a circle of grass, discovering bad news: a part of Engma's legion hadn't been able to withdraw from the previous battlefield. In other words, they lost three regiments. This kind of loss is fatal for the Engma Union, with a population already not large—over twenty thousand casualties combined. The war regiments that retreated to the Northern Commune also suffered heavy losses in battle.
The losses in the Northern Commune were also a headache for Malin—the defensives of those small countries on the first line of defense all collapsed. Then, the Northern Commune did not retreat. The war regiments of the Northern Commune on several large sections of the defense line fought to the very last moment. The massive loss of veterans forced Malin to bypass the military department and directly order all war regiments to retreat to the second line of defense.
