The professional battalion is the elite force referred to by the White Steel Princess, with a high proportion of Angel Envoys.
Last year, Roman had ten thousand auxiliary soldiers and seven thousand from the professional battalion.
In the Battle of the Heavenly Pegasus Plain, the professional battalion suffered heavy losses.
Because the professional battalion took on much higher combat functions than auxiliary soldiers, the disability rate was also higher.
As long as they aren't dead, push them to their limits.
Consequently, many of them truly died.
Later, Roman selected some outstanding auxiliary soldiers to fill the vacancies left by the losses in the professional battalion.
Now there are about six thousand auxiliary soldiers and seven thousand professionals.
Of course, although they are called auxiliary soldiers, some of their combat skills are no lower than those of the professional battalion soldiers.
