With Athena supporting him, Rocky no longer concerned himself with the hostages whose mere mention could shake the entire world. He began to focus on handling his own affairs.
Although he and Thunderhawk City hadn't suffered severe damage in this grand battle, the troops stationed at Backhill Village and who had experienced the battle faced significant losses.
Therefore, Rocky first commended all the Fleet's officials, starting with Felly. Almost everyone, from the Commander and Captain to the ordinary crew members involved in the battle, received praise, before he proceeded to reorganize the troops.
There's no other way—after a major battle, the Rune Battleship troops have also suffered considerable losses, especially among the original troops.
