Book Content (Suikoden I)[]
In Suikoden, Old Book 3 tells about Basic Military Strategy for Major Battles.
Title: Strategy of War
Body[]
War begins with the understanding of the enemy's methods. A soldier is stronger than an arrow. An arrow is stronger than magic. Magic is stronger than a soldier. As a result, knowing the enemy's methods are a natural advantage. To know an enemy's hand, it is necessary to utilize Ninja Power. An enemy's methods always follows a pattern. Knowing the pattern is a shortcut to victory. When the enemy is without a magician, attack in full force.
Betrayal is most effective when you are few and the enemy is many. When the enemy is reduced to a few, use arrows. When your numbers are many, soldiers and arrows are effective. When you are few in number, magic is effective. The only way to increase your number is to recruit.

Title: Man-Hunting Incident
Body[]
"A grievous incident that once occured on the border between the Scarlet Moon Empire and the Kooluk Empire will be recorded here."
"Years of conflict lay between the Scarlet Moon Empire and the Kooluk Empire, and for a long time, they would carve away at each other's strength."
"However, the Scarlet Moon Empire made a proposal, and both sides settled on a truce for an indefinite period of time."
"Amidst this situation, there was a faction of nobles on the Scarlet Moon Side who could not suppress their raging blood."
"They had gained distinction in the war against the Kooluk and it is said that they grew impatient with the truce. Soon, their agitation took the form of "hunting."
"They attacked small villages along the border, one after another. It is said that when they did, they disguised themselves as Kooluk Troops."
"Perhaps due to this, for a long time this series of incidents was percieved to be over border disputes."
"Finally, having found out the true state of things, the tactitians of the Scarlet Moon Empire issued a warning, but they said, "This is in opposition against the Kooluk Army's sneak attacks," and did not listen."
"During this time, a serious incident occurred where a subordinate of the tacticians used some kind of great power to murder the faction of nobles."
"This tactician was banished immediately from the Scarlet Moon Empire."
"However it is said that no more cases of man-hunting were reported after this incident."
