Dimensional Descent

It made sense that the Radix never saw this pattern. They had accumulated this data over several centuries and they never categorized them in terms of wins, losses and draws, they just documented what happened. For Leonel to draw that connection himself after flipping through them spoke for itself…

However, that didn't explain why any of this was important.

"I'm not entirely sure why you're so confused." Leonel said lightly. "The fact you don't think it's important that you're standing here, doing nothing, while your supposed partner and equal is fighting down to his last breath doing something you commanded him to do… You don't really understand how people work, hm?"

Avarone's pupils constricted.

"If you still don't get it, I can give you another stat, maybe that'll help things sink into place for you. Of those 10 706 battles fought, there were 17 092 members of your families that died. Of that number, 64% were from the Midas family.

"How about another stat? There were 27 893 participants of the battles total. That means that there were 10 801 survivors. Of the number of survivors, 72% of them were members of your Radix family."

Avarone's expression darkened with every word Leonel spoke.

"And now, once again, a member of the Radix family is watching a member of the Midas fight to the bloody end. But do you know what the difference is between this time and all those other times?"

Leonel smiled, and looked around. "You have spectators."

The battlefield had already fallen into a silence the moment the second junior starship appeared and it felt like the tides were shifting. However, because of all the commotion and noise the battle between Belize and Siris were making, not to mention the distraction of Leonel's words, Avarone hadn't even noticed the issue until it was pointed out to him.
