The Imperial Army is pushed back, and Ikta is forced to use every trick at his disposal to keep his numerically inferior force from being overwhelmed.  The Alderamin army has 12,000 troops, and his unit has only a little over 600.  When he's forced to make a tough call to sacrifice his own men and save the Sinack, Suya confronts him angrily.  She wants to know why he was willing to sacrifice his own men for the people he was fighting yesterday, and she says he owes her an answer.
A rare hero, forced to serve
 an incompetent general,
البطل الحقيقيّ الذي يُجبَر على العمل
كقائد ضعيف
dass es ganz selten auch
das Gegenteil bewirken kann.

verás que a veces causa lo contrario.
Una perla rara, un vero eroe 
costretto a servire un generale incompetente,
Одарённый герой,
 что служит глупому генералу,
