BELLUM PRAESINTIA How to be prepared even though all the things you can't do are impossible
At least it was a long enough break for both sides.War had not yet broken out, providing Elisa with an opportunity to rebuild the strength that had started to crumble. With Endra's skill, the number of troops ready for battle had been restored. Now they had more people willing to fight for their homeland, although it had taken some time.Five months had passed, and many changes had occurred. The region's infrastructure had become more organized.Garlan realized Elisa's significant potential, thinking she was still naive when it came to surviving. However, after witnessing this, he found her actions to be much better than most leaders he had seen.Some residents paid their respects and greeted Garlan as he rode his horse to ensure everything was running smoothly."Hmm... it seems life here has really improved, but how long will it continue to get better?" he pondered.He stopped to watch the residents at work, under the scorching sun, not knowing that being a gardener meant baking in
BELLUM PRAESINTIA Information That Must Be Digested Well
"What kind of information are you talking about?"Garlan shattered the solemn atmosphere with his dramatic tone and deep voice."Hahahaha... you've had this attitude since our first meeting..." Endra had to admit, he had been worried that Elisa would whine like before.But things had truly changed; Elisa's attitude was under control now, and she just smiled at Garlan.He watched the growth and development of the girl he had always protected, who now remained the same, only different in not entrusting everything to strangers."A week ago, I received information from spies stationed at various points, and they informed us that Gandara is likely to make a move in conquering a territory!"They quickly turned this emotional atmosphere into a tense one, and it was clear that they were referring to another invasion."Wait, which territory are you talking about?" Garlan asked.From the beginning, there was no statement indicating which territory this information was meant for.And Endra, frus
BELLUM PRAESINTIA Keeping a Secret to Not Hurt Her Feelings
"From all your stories, it means the situation can change at any time! Have you told Elisa about this?""No, I haven't told her..." Endra's face indifferent and unreadable turned to the side.Garlan observed Endra's behavior, completely unable to understand the meaning behind all of this. There might be a hidden purpose."Don't think I doing this on purpose; I don't want that girl to be burdened by this! Moreover, if this problem isn't her concern, I told you, because you might be the one who can put together the information I provided this afternoon..."Adding those words implied deliberate cruelty in this situation."I must admit the information you provided earlier felt incomplete! But, I also feel Elisa is aware that you're giving incomplete information.""Is that so? I don't know what's on her mind, but I still can't say it, and I want you to keep this a secret as well...""I doubt this can be kept a secret indefinitely."Elisa's development couldn't be underestimated. She had al
BELLUM PRAESINTIA Tell me the reason why you do this?
Elisa was constantly told to gaze at the expressionless man's face, which seemed boring to her, but she interpreted Garlan's silence as a sign of disapproval of what had been given to him."So, it seems like this has become a burden for you..." And, with a weary tone, she expressed this.Certainly, it hurt Garlan's feelings, as his eyebrows quickly lowered in protest."I don't consider this a burden..."This defiant attitude surprised Elisa, and she turned with curiosity."What makes you stay in this situation, I mean..."It was true Garlan could leave his position at any time. It would be much more comfortable to leave and have the freedom to move on."There's actually no need to explain. I'm here based on a prior agreement! Yes, I admit that a job like this is not something common, but I've done everything I can! At the very least, I want to enjoy it!"Garlan's melodic voice touched Elisa's heart, and the most important part of her felt filled with his resolute tone.So far, she fel
BELLUM PRAESINTIA What is felt to be lacking from a leader
"I'm not sure when it happened! I've even almost forgotten what happened a few years ago; here, I feel like a puppet. Some of the people who helped manage leadership were people my brother trusted to maintain the existing conditions!"In reality, this was deliberately done by Horman. If he had directly killed Elisa, it would have caused a new conflict, leading the residents of that region to reject his sovereignty as the sole ruler. And at a moment like this, it could easily be exploited by the second sibling who would assume the position of a sovereign leader.To avoid this, Horman tried to plan something for the desired victory, but as it appears, it didn't go well.The plan to eliminate Elisa failed, and they even lost one dangerous prisoner.Without needing to continue the previous sentence, Garlan already understood the situation.It's hard to believe Elisa is still allowed to live in her vulnerable condition.Until now, she still exudes a strong attitude, deserving recognition.
BELLUM PRAESINTIA Trying to Find Out Enemy Movements
"Visiting a place?" Elisa certainly couldn't draw a conclusion; the mystical aura Garlan exuded was so intense it left her lost in various questions."Yes, I want to visit the border! There are a few things I want to discuss with Endra, and I want to make sure of something!"From Garlan's increasingly serious expression, Elisa could deduce this was not just an ordinary meeting.She was fortunate to receive permission like this; most likely, Garlan would ignore this thing for personal satisfaction."Can't you discuss it with me first?""I think Lady must already know what's happening! Lately, the enemy's movements are still unclear, and sooner or later they will take action, but the information received is too scarce to draw conclusions! I believe personally I should make sure what's going to happen! So, I ask for permission to go to the border..."The current situation was too dangerous to leave Elisa alone; the enemy could infiltrate the place to target her.But, Garlan couldn't simp
BELLUM PRAESINTIA Garlan's Arrival On A Very Cold Night
In response to what had just been said, it drained the spirit from Garlan's body."I'm not so sure about drinking something like this for my body."For the first time, Endra saw the face of the usually calm and strong knight become so gloomy."No, I can't believe you would say something like this in front of a drink that is so beloved by people! Do you think a drink like this is not worth consuming?""Really?"That was quick, he replied with half-lowered eyelids, making a statement so firmly that it gave Endra chills in the way thought."Hah..." But, he understood it already; this was unlikely to find a solution.Even though he conveyed how delicious this alcohol was, Garlan would never be forced to enjoy it.As Endra poured alcohol into a cup, he savored the taste of the liquid.Gulp..."Ah... it's really delicious."Garlan found his tone very annoying, and he didn't know why the man was doing this, but it was clear it was meant to create a sense of comfort. Unfortunately, Garlan wou
BELLUM PRAESINTIA Explore the surrounding area to determine conditions
Garlan's presence there had certainly captured the soldiers' attention; they saw him as a tough and equal counterpart to Endra.Garlan didn't pay much attention to what everyone thought of him; he needed to focus on what was happening."Why haven't they launched an attack yet? Is there a specific reason behind all this? What are they waiting for, really?"Garlan's thoughts were quite complicated at the moment. He had been continuously rubbing his chin while gazing out into the open field."You still seem confused!"Garlan turned to the source of the voice; it was Endra, who appeared with a spirited smile."Well, no matter how you look at it, if this can't be resolved...""I understand, I understand! How about you take a patrol around this time?"This idea took Garlan by surprise; it meant he would have to patrol the area where the enemy might be lurking. Perhaps there were spies among them.But it wasn't a bad idea. Challenges like this were what Garlan desired.Finally, he mounted hi

Plans That Have Been Carefully Prepared
"She said that I must believe in the abilities within this body, which means I have to go back to the past..."The moment when one must sacrifice everyone fighting under his command, treating their lives as nothing more than tools to achieve victory.After becoming a minister, he gained a new understanding. The price of a single life was significant. Until now, he had considered lives as mere tools to attain victory.After a long time of forgetting this, he felt as though he was pushed back into his former wild spirit.No one can change this, and all time will converge at one point.Both sides appeared to have gathered with serious expressions, facing each other.Schlegel's troops wouldn't wait behind their fortress; they would directly destroy Switean's troops."What will you do this time?" Norsius asked with enthusiasm.It seemed the enemy was already starting to make their move, heading towards Liam's troops."Hehehe... so they're targeting me as their opponent? No problem, it's bo

This time the opponent has abilities that cannot be underestimated
On this extremely cold night, Garlan's face showed no sign of happiness.However, the lives of every soldier were precious; without them, this war would become even more challenging.It seemed the enemy troops were ready for attack.Rosa intentionally entered the tent to meet Garlan and found him sitting in front of a spread-out map.In reality, she feared that her presence might disturb his concentration, but she still wanted to meet with him.She began to tap softly, and when she was close enough, she said, "General..."Garlan slowly raised his head, the face of a girl he was familiar with, as he gazed at her nearly every day."What?""I apologize if I am interrupting your time, but I would like to discuss something...""Very well, please have a seat."An empty chair was occupied by the girl's body. It still felt awkward to be alone with Garlan in such a confined space. Even though there was no bed for intimacy, Rosa couldn't help but think about such things."So, what did you want

Prove Yourself With All Your Existing Abilities
"General Garlan, I understand! Even in this filthy world, there are still those who yearn for peace. It's true that peace must be achieved with bloodied hands! Only those who truly desire it will be ready to do it..."The soldiers observed Rosa's significantly different demeanor; she was more aggressive than before. Leading them, she charged at the enemy troops.With relentless strikes, she showed no signs of fatigue until they had reached the designated stopping point.The white-clothed man glared at them with resentment. "I didn't expect to encounter a disturbance here, but she's a woman, and she's already wounded facing that slave! She can't possibly be stronger than me!"Confidently, he drew his gleaming sword, and the sunlight made it look even more magnificent.However, it didn't mean much, as Rosa had experienced before. The wielder of a weapon mattered more, no matter how splendid the weapon appeared. If she regarded her opponent as much stronger, the sword was appropriate fo

Rosa quickly backs away, sensing unresolved danger.Lattham's face shows shock as he watches blood continue to trickle from his body. He uses his left hand to wipe his chest, and his palm becomes stained with fresh blood.His eyes start to be filled with memories of the past, with fires raging and blood everywhere. His hands bear fresh bloodstains from the woman in front of him."Astrid..."His passionate cry erupts in the midst of the battle, leaving those around him confused as to who he is mourning."Astrid? Who is that?" Rosa squints her eyes after witnessing a significant change in Lattham. "What happened to him?"slowly, Lattham lifts his head, and his eyes seem sharper than before, radiating an aura of hostility.The apparition transforms Rosa, turning the fully armored knight in front of him into a grinning adversary."I will kill you..."Quickly, he takes a step forward, and their swords swing simultaneously.Cracks...Until it touches the ground where Rosa stands, the dust s

Facing an opponent who may be much fiercer than himself.
"What is this..."The long chain binding the man's hands and feet spun and then charged toward Rosa.Spontaneously, Rosa leaped from atop her horse. Unfortunately, the chain bound her horse's legs and forcibly pulled it down.A chain reaction occurred when the soldiers following Rosa collided, and dust filled the air as a result of this incident.Fortunately, some of the soldiers at the rear had managed to stop due to the sudden incidents."What's happening?" a soldier asked. As he looked ahead, the dust revealed his comrades rolling on the ground, some with their bodies badly injured.Rosa, who had managed to evade the incident, could only gape at the crazed actions of the man."What is he doing? How can he do this, and why have the enemy troops suddenly kept their distance? What's happening here?""You won't know who you're dealing with; he's a long-imprisoned slave, and his wild disposition was his characteristic, Lattham..."Lattham's head lifted, uniquely, after his earlier actio

Rosa's decision to prove herself as the greatest female knight
Rosa needs to understand that using a fortress in warfare means defending within it; they can't just attack the enemy's troops directly.She already knows this from the lessons given, but she can't stand waiting for the enemy to attack."How long do I have to stay here? They've already started this war, their leaders should be responsible for what they've done..."She clenched her fists with all her might, but it was all in vain. She had to restrain the emotions inside her and wait for the right time.The soldiers there seemed much more useful than her, just watching like this was so boring, but most of the officers there were grateful not to plunge directly into the battlefield.Even in a situation like this, discussions about the plan were still ongoing, and it felt tiresome to discuss it."Now, the enemy is attacking with 700 people, which is much larger than the troops inside the fortress! The chance of winning is very small..." the leader troops warned."Of course, but if we just

It's too easy to feel like this is a win
They appeared surprised by the actions of the troops on top of the fort, their eyes quickly turned towards the torches intentionally used to illuminate the surroundings."Huh... do they think we're finished here? Well, we can use a bit of light to figure out our current location..."Vigilance continued as the fortress's lighting was still too dim."Leader, it seems that the enemy forces have been swept away by the attack," reported a soldier on top of the fortress.They couldn't see what was happening below, but from the visible body parts, it seemed like a large-scale massacre had occurred."So, they have indeed launched an attack!" Cold sweat dripped as he imagined a crazy action like that.Time could only be used to wait for morning; they couldn't move for the next few minutes.Remaining on high alert, when the sky began to lighten, they could finally assess their surroundings.Rosa, with her sharp eyes, observed the area and indeed saw many soldiers under her command."Are you all

An Attack That Was Perfectly Planned
"Of course, but we must not let them know about this attack! We have to strike when they believe the troops inside the fortress are just as before, only capable of defending against their attacks..." Rosa meant the most important factor, the enemy's reconnaissance scouts who were certainly ordered to monitor the fortress at various points.If they were to find out the troops inside the fortress were preparing to attack, the enemy would automatically shift to a combat-ready position."We don't know where the enemy's scouts are positioned, and, moreover, the nighttime will make our movements difficult," a weary-faced soldier pointed out."That's true, we don't know the enemy's troop locations, and, likewise, they can't confirm the attack we're planning. We need to observe first before they can execute that attack," Rosa replied.They began to understand, but there were still some incomplete details."So, who will lead the troops in the attack against the enemy?" the leader of the troop

Attitudes in Actions That Must Be Prepared to Take
"Hoam..."It's an annoying time. Rosa hasn't finished enjoying her sleep, but now she has to be in the room with the old men who look confused."This time they attacked us at night, targeting us when we didn't fight!" murmured the leader of the soldiers.It's indeed painful to be attacked when you want to rest.Rosa should be the one to mourn more. Her eyes blinked a few times to fight off drowsiness."Thanks to Miss Rosa's alertness, we didn't lose many soldiers!" praised one of the men.Unfortunately, Rosa didn't hear the praise clearly. Her head was down.Seeing no response, one of the men tried to wake her. "Miss Rosa!""Yes..."The man's tone was low, but Rosa's response was surprisingly strong, creating a hushed atmosphere.No one spoke for a few moments, watching this hilarious scene."Uh-oh... I've made a mistake! I don't want to return to the capital and face punishment, just like on my first day as a soldier.""Leader, if the enemy attacks again tonight, what should we do?"
