Fresh from their victory at Scarleticia, the Liberation Army must immediately face General Teo McDohl in battle. To most of the army, he’s an indomitable force on the battlefield. But to Mir, he remains a father. Can the Liberation Army defeat a man who is both a parental figure AND a general who’s mastered a single strategic formation?
A record of the first battle of Southern Lake Toran
After defeating the ninjas of Rokkaku, Teo McDohl marched onwards to confront the Liberation Army. Although he had heard the rumors of his own son heading the army, he nevertheless prepared for battle. The Liberation Army, thanks to the ninja Kasumi, was not caught unprepared. However, they were thoroughly defeated in an attempted skirmish against Scarlet Moon.
Scarlet Moon Soldiers: 14,000
Teo McDohl is a man whose strategy is comprised only of raw strength. His signature attack and his Armored Cavalry attack both decimate opposing armies, even ones who make good use of magic.

Teo McDohl proved himself the superior in battle. His army numbered 14,000 soldiers, though the Liberation Army closed in on its numbers with 11,125 men. Curiously, the Liberation Army’s merchants were able to convince 3,354 of Teo’s soldiers to turn traitor, despite their general’s clear advantage. Other than the mutinous men, the Scarlet Moon Empire lost no soldiers whatsoever under Teo’s command. The Liberation Army, however, took a dire hit of 9,960 men before deciding to retreat. Teo and his soldiers pursued them, and with their superior mounted speed they would have caught the Liberation Army before they could reach their ships. Pahn, however, volunteered to stay behind and halt their progress. When he came up against Teo, they both agreed to a one on one duel. Pahn’s strength surprised Teo, prompting a retreat for the Scarlet Moon Army. Pahn’s impressive feat of strength both allowed him to keep his life and secure more time for the Liberation Army to prepare a counter attack.

And here’s the poll for the next arc. There’s, uh, more characters than the poll allows, so you can choose up to three on the first poll and two on the second, and I’ll work it out from there. I’m probably going to have to find a way to cut down on the list at some point. Poll ends this Sunday at noon.
