When the Bloody Knights and the other soldiers returned to the base, they looked beaten down in all senses. First, they didn't accomplish anything even when the enemies were holding back and when they went all out, they were completely defeated.

Thanks to that, they didn't sleep much on the first night after their return. As if things weren't bad enough, they heard some suspicious news in the morning.
