[ Oria has a lot of things to say about that, but when the general moves on, he just sticks his tongue out when he isn't looking. This is what youth is about, even when getting mixed up in selfish adult-involved things... but there was one thing he thinks the general is wrong about.
He doesn't think his name protects him from anything--or at least, the things that are worth protecting. He looks at the projected images as he thinks about this for a while. The strategic formation that they call the phalanx is recommended for defensive type Knights to lead the way and protect the other Knights from danger. There seems to be three of these, each separated into groups with several kettes (and rotte). Slow, but steady. An impregnable shield that will run over anything in its path--what a phalanx represents. Of course, in an aerial battle this will be difficult to maneuver, which is why they have their own special formation that deviates just slightly.
In the meantime, the sniper Knights will be in formation behind the phalanx to aim at several group leaders. Attackers will be sent as decoys to scatter the opponent's defenses and take them out piece by piece. Every other role are given specific methods to handle the enemy and support their fellow Knights.
Katherine is bleeding a little from the head, but she does her best to pay attention to the briefing and gets out a handkerchief to wipe it from her head. She tries to assure Sinclair that she'll be fine, and thanks for helping her.
Luckily, Oria doesn't drone out the rest of the information, but one thing does catch his attention--it's when the general's assistant(?) steps forward at the end and mentions that there will be changes to the initial plan depending on who is still active at the end of the day. Oria thinks he's talking about possible traitors that the military will wipe out to serve as an example for the others or something, but Oria is unaffected.
So, be on your best behavior and let the AOU come out triumphant. ]
