"Yes, that's right. Well, let me tell you one thing. This time, Mr. Alphonse had no problem fighting against the three bronze type magic-armored soldiers. But basically, the greater number of soldiers has the advantage in a battle. How the minority side can break it down is based on destroying them individually.

That's right. In the previous battle, did you use magic power to temporarily stop the opponent's movement? The reason why Alphonse-sama won the battle was that he was able to create an instantaneous one-on-one situation. But there could have been other ways. For example, running away while running for a while.

Yes. The goal, however, is not to escape. If you run and keep your distance, the magic-armored soldiers chasing after you will open up a small distance. It is considered that it is effective to use the terrain such as a turn to keep a distance from them and intercept them when you can fight one-on-one. However, it will depend on the surrounding conditions.
