[Asch's response is little more than a thoughtful "hnn" for a while, considering the words. From experience - four years of it - he knows that it isn't as simple as just building up a force and charging the enemy. No amount of weaponry, magic, or science has brought the barrier down from the inside, and he has little faith in their success when they inevitably try, either.]

Their first mistake was sharing the information on a public network. The Malnosso gave us these journals, it would be stupid to think that they wouldn't be monitoring it. Trying to organize the village against them using their own communication tool... they may as well have sent our enemies an invitation to destroy us before we even begin a rebellion. It's reckless.
