Warrior of Warriors: a Guide to Battle
Author: Ulysses Darc
Overall Message: Winning fights is not only determined by things we all see, but morale, norms, and soldier health. General Darc makes it clear that one of the most important things a military genius can do is understand why any soldier would want to fight, as it should be a constant motivator in war. As for personal warriors, he claims that while you should strive to be the best you possibly can at something, always allow others to make up for your weaknesses so you never spread too thin.
General Quotes:
"For it was in my day, a day in which nobles were more concerned with the matters of bringing harm to other kingdoms through subterfuge, that no man had a reason to fight! For if they were told they must fight for those same nobles, they could not possibly fight at their greatest over such ignorant sods."
"Perhaps I am not harsh enough on my men, but if there is food to be had, there is no reason to keep it away. I have tried training under difficult conditions, depriving myself of needs, but I find that it's far more effective to leave the punishments at yelling and physical challenges."
"My greatest mistake in life was not finding assistants sooner. My hands are too shaken to write, so I have a scribe; my armor makes me slow and weighted, so I have a scout. The list goes on, but having various talents around has paid off in ways I did not believe possible until it was suggested to me by a child."
"Reimog has failed in their efforts to stop our advance for one reason: they did not capitalize on pride. Their men are perfectionists at defending their homeland, yet when we fight, it seems they have forgotten their purpose. I would never make such a mistake; we must always remember why we fight."
