"So many asset losses?" Ritika asked in surprise, as this was the first time they had ever suffered this kind of loss.
Though not a single life had been lost, the loss of over twelve thousand starfighters and mechs was still quite high for her, and she was a bit surprised to accept it.
"Sigh… it was inevitable, High Admiral Ritika," Mav said with a deep sigh.
"Previously, we did not—or at least, the other battle fleets did not—suffer losses like this because the enemies they encountered were always weak."
"Though the Bright Moon Republic was no different in that regard, it was still vastly stronger than the other foes we have encountered in the real world."
"And we are not some invincible force, after all."
Mav's expression grew serious as he continued.
"It's just that we are still in the newbie village of the real world, if I have to put it that way. And we are geared with higher-grade equipment compared to the monsters here."
