Yeah, its rather gruesome to watch...especially having to withdraw after a battle, knowing that another 2-3 regions will be depopulated before we can do /anything/.
Riombara has lost 30.000 by now from Droxago to Mio Dupaki...and I guess at least another 5000 will be slaughtered before the next chance to fight Midnight does arrive. Though I do have hopes about the coming battle, we should have at least a chance to defeat his frontrow this time. The b+++ard still numbers around 35.000...
