There was never any single mamono side "combatant". as they do not exist in MGE universe. There was mamonos, that happened to be in front of the advancing army, with no way of escaping, and not enough numbers to capture soldiers from the incoming army.

They were just mamono, who realized that we are in front of this advancing army, with no way to retreat, and even ifwe would manage to retreat, they would just chase us and kill us. Therefore they had 2 noptions. Fight it out, or just let the order army kill them...

Granted, I didn't say it clearly in the scenario, but this is MGE universe which we are talking about, Monsters dont want to kill, They want love, sexytime, and children.

I could wax poetic about how it's fan writing and we should be able to push thhe boundaries because art, but that's a big can of worms.

"Combatant" does not necessarily mean "soldier," (which does not necessarily mean "mr. Vicious murderer") I'd say that I'm pushing it a bit, but that's where I'll be laying it.

My response about "combatants" was in response to your bit about Isis, which, quite frankly, was rather odd anyway.

But hey, fighting for your life is good motivation, and these "gentlemen" weren't looking for suitors at the time.

I'll say that this group of "augmenteds" in particular was notoriously violent and inpersuadable, which breached that little thing called "conscience" and allowed mamono to fight.

Not to tread on anyone's toes, but when writing something, all you say changes the world you've created, and anything you create is your responsibility, along with how it's interpreted if it's vague.

But I won't deny that we're writing on the internet, and that the tradition of MGE is one laden with "author's backsies."

Tl:dr, if you say something (even technically) vague and clarify it later, it matters not whose interpretation it contradicts.

You, as the author are correct.
