Sean smiled and replied, "To put it bluntly, it's simple. Two words—guerrilla tactics."
"Guerrilla tactics?"
Flynn frowned slightly, thinking about the meaning of these words.
Sean continued explaining. "Yeah, guerrilla tactics. If it's a head-on battle, my men and I are no match for more than 100 mercenaries. They could crush us in numbers alone. But inside the woods, the effectiveness of numbers will be limited. Instead, the flexibility of small units will be greatly enhanced and thus be more advantageous."
Flynn had mostly figured it out at this point.
That was it.
Sean and his crew of a dozen men were no match for a mercenary regiment of more than 100 men when it was a head-on confrontation.
However, Sean's small combat unit was able to fight flexibly because of the complex terrain and trees that hid them after they entered the woods.
The mercenary regiment of 100 men could not take advantage of their numbers. Having too many men made it impossible to attack in unison. Their advantage had become a disadvantage, so to speak.
In this case, they only had to attack flexibly and fall back when needed. The stray mercenary regiment could not keep up with them.
"No wonder Commander Lennon is the youngest nine-star commander in Dragon Kingdom. I'm impressed with your command ability and awareness."

Strong rhythmic parade music began to play, and it was finally a bit festive.
Lisha stepped forward, saluted, and said with a broad smile, "Friends from Dorodo, welcome to Crosac. I represent everyone in Crosac to give you a warm welcome!"
