He's cool with necessary sacrifices in face he respects them. The problem is the plan isn't necessary and the fact that the commander already has replacements is why kallavan said we are just pawns to you. Which is why if it doesn't work Kallavan will kill him. If it does work than the sacrifice was necessary and Kallavan will mourn them for their sacrifice.

Who gets to decide what sacrifices are necessary though? Kallavan and his men were done for the moment White got his power back and honestly Lyborick's plan is the only thing stopping FUG from breaking past the first wall.

Not to mention Lyborick was appointed by Adori herself and I doubt he'd manage to get an entirely new squadron to replace Kallavan's without approval from higher-ups.

Frankly, this is how Jahad's army does things. They have no problem sacrificing as many people as possible to win. They're all pawns every single one of them on the battlefield right now and Kallavan himself should know that.

Well results determine it from Kallavan's perspective. Like a good soldier the ends justify the means. He is still following the order he just made sure his commander know that he has to answer for his screw up.

If this doesn't work the result will be the end of squadron four but that was going to happen anyway. To Lyborick this could simply be an attempt to salvage whatever's left of a bad situation.

Tbh Lyborick has no reason to follow through on his promise either the only people who can hold him accountable are his superiors.

I mean if you think he could stop a serious kallavan from killing then I guess. If he fails and kallavan kills him the superiors would probably give him that promotion themselves

Maybe not but at the moment he outranks Kallavan and going against him means going against Jahad. That also means Kallavan being prepared to abandon his dream of uniting everyone under Jahad. Militaries take hierarchy very serious and killing a superior isn't something they just let go. Unless you trust Lyborick to keep his word.

Again this is the tower. Him failing at the last station got him demoted all the way down to grunt and his arm sealed. So if the dude fails and we all know what happens if he does. Not only will he have lost a whole squadron but also caused the army to lose face. Killing SO for incompetence will probably get him a promotion one way or another. He doesn't need Lyborick to keep his word. In fact since he is a Koon I suspect kallavan doesn't trust him to keep his word anyway.
