"NOOOOO!"
"THIS CANNOT BE!"
"MURDERER!"
"HEXFIEND!"
"HONORLESS DOG!"
The reactions from the soldiers of the Sundered Phalanx as well as the citizens of the Gauge Dynasty conveyed an incredible amount of fury and dismay!
In fact, many other Fridaymen who hailed from the other coalition partners also exhibited similar reactions!
The loss of the Neo Amadeus was a great shame but not a completely unacceptable defeat.
The loss of Saint Jeremiah Gauge, a relatively young ace pilot who still had a bright future ahead of him was much more devastating!
Ace pilots were pretty much one of the few weapons of mass destruction that states and private organizations were allowed to employ on the battlefield.
Each of them formed a massive deterrent and elevated the comprehensive strength and prestige of their respective states.
