Is Fordola the monster Lyse says she is?

[Kallera]

Same reason why American troops fight even with weapons that can decimate the populace wholesale, they only know they have it, the decision to use it is not theirs. Fordola cannot order Zenos to use his trick with Shinryu, now could she? But she did know he was known to decomate his opposition easily, and using Shinryu was certainly one way to decimate the opposition easily...had it been used in ANY OTHER WAY IMAGINABLE.
