BELLUM PRAESINTIA Arguing For The Right Reasons
This explanation certainly couldn't satisfy Garlan's curiosity, as the reasons were still ambiguous to him."It can't be helped; Horman probably assumed you are someone who would protect Princess Elisa!" Endra interjected to calm a brewing dispute.Garlan started to grasp the situation, but he still couldn't believe this reason had made him seem like a prisoner."Huh... I'm just here to get a reward!"Those words touched on something quite confusing for both of them."Why do you want the reward so badly?" Elisa finally felt compelled to ask.Garlan slowly turned to answer, not giving a direct statement. Here, he had to make it clear that he wasn't just after material wealth or rewards from someone."I think it's only fair that I receive payment for my actions. Besides, you're a princess, so it shouldn't be a big deal."That classic-sounding justification annoyed Elisa.Her face turned even redder upon hearing his explanation, her gaze becoming more sardonic."So, you're only saving me
BELLUM PRAESINTIA Between the oath and the obligations imposed
Every word that was spoken was carefully digested and observed, considering what kind of response should be given."For me, a situation like this doesn't need to be a problem!"It impressed Endra enough, Garlan's attitude towards this was so relaxed. For a normal person, something like this would be impossible."So, do you mean situations like this have become something common?"Garlan closed both of his eyelids, contemplating how to explain this in more detail. But he had to answer, "Yes, that might be the right word for me!" He would admit every event that had occurred so far."Apparently, you're not just an ordinary man."Once again, an overly extravagant expression, it was clear that Garlan's body was not far from a normal human. But one thing Garlan couldn't know was that someone's view of him was quite different. Especially the attitude and aura he carried, the mysterious power that signaled others to be cautious.People like Endra were experienced in meeting and dealing with ot
BELLUM PRAESINTIA Suspicion when arriving at the residence
The brief conversation from last night still lingered in Endra's mind, enough for him to understand the situation was indeed something that could happen. The enemy, who had perhaps been silent until now, would act due to this event. He felt Elisa's life could not be left in danger.For now, there was no need to discuss this openly; that girl's smile could be ruined if the real facts were revealed. They just needed to continue slowly riding their horses to reach the desired location.No, more precisely, they were still outside the reach of the desired area.They urged their horses forward quickly to ensure the enemy troops would not arrive or, worse, seize the location."Beautiful view!" Garlan said with a touch of pride.Elisa, who was behind him could feel the happiness too; this was a place to return, and her previously uneasy heart had found some relief.They charged toward the desired location, and upon arrival, they were greeted by some worried faces, especially when they saw the
BELLUM PRAESINTIA Looks like an offer that requires becoming a knight
Perhaps for foreigners like Garlan, such determination could indeed be considered admirable.It was quite different from his current state, with no purpose and nothing to protect."I can see that you are not an ordinary man either! Do you have a specific goal?"Amid the raging turmoil in his heart, this question pushed Garlan further into confusion about what to answer. He chose to remain silent on matters like this."Why don't you become a defender of Princess Elisa like me?"For more than 2 minutes, Garlan provided no answer, and Endra began to feel the awkwardness in the atmosphere."I apologize; I shouldn't have said something like that!" He quickly added, attempting to rectify the situation.Garlan observed the muscular man's attempt to smooth things over and took several sips of alcohol, hoping it would wash away the discomfort."I'm just a wanderer, once a warrior, but that was a long time ago.""Hooh... Did you lead a troop?""Yes, I led a troop I formed. I named it the Black
BELLUM PRAESINTIA Sudden Responsibility section is used
The next day, Elisa seemed to have to continue her duties as a leader. Even though she was still young, she had to do it as a leader.By checking the situation in the surrounding area, she was constantly bombarded with various reports full of complaints about the situation."Ugh... this kind of work again, I feel quite bored!" She gazed at the bright blue sky, occasionally watching the clouds being blown by the wind as if mocking her for not being able to leave the location.At the same time, Endra had been carrying out his duties as a military officer, training the soldiers to be ready for warfare.He made a slight impression on Garlan, who watched the training. As the soldiers looked at Endra, they all put on serious faces and didn't dare to move from their positions.Garlan could interpret that Endra was indeed an experienced military officer, especially in his combat skills. It really made him want to engage in a one-on-one fight.And everything ended smoothly without any problems
BELLUM PRAESINTIA How Your Sincerity Will Cause Problems
Next, a question enveloped their minds: why were there killers that night? Who among the two rivals for Elisa could have done it so easily?"But, you know, this situation is making everyone's head spin a little! I mean, why are they so eager to undermine each other when their father has already allocated parts for them to rule?"Endra chuckled softly when he heard this statement, feeling that Garlan's words had some truth."You must understand that humans are inherently greedy! This kingdom is vast, but because the king wanted fairness, he divided the territories into three. Of course, his children don't entirely agree with this, especially the eldest, who feels entitled to be the next king! It all comes down to personal desires once again, and there isn't much that can be done to resolve this issue!"This realization also cast a shadow over Garlan's face. There were no guarantees for this situation. It was evident the desire to undermine each other had consumed everyone, including hi
BELLUM PRAESINTIA Preparing a soul that is much more bearable for responsibility
"For some people, I might just be a nuisance! I also want to ask, why was I born in a condition like this? It's truly agonizing..."Garlan remained silent, listening to these words, complaints that he probably couldn't offer a solution to.Elisa's warm smile returned to her face as she looked at Garlan, even though she didn't receive a friendly response. But it was satisfying enough for her."It seems like you don't have too many ill intentions! I earlier thought you were someone who only cared about rewards for yourself, but it turns out you're still here!"Garlan's gaze fell to the side as if he had already given up on what he wanted."But, thanks to you, I feel calm and grateful! It turns out that despite many people hating me, there are still people who want to be my friend!"No, for Garlan, this was still not considered an act of friendship. He only wanted to get the promised reward, but everything felt different after this statement."I hope you'll continue to be here as a compa
BELLUM PRAESINTIA Maybe this is the kind of duel you are looking for
The first to make a move was Garlan, which wasn't a good sign because Endra had been waiting for this."Now, what are you going to do? What kind of attack are you going to launch against me?"His hand swiftly moved to swing his sword.Ting...Both of them had brought their full strength to try and defend themselves. In that moment, Endra found a good opening and delivered a powerful blow.Fortunately, Garlan was thrown back without sustaining any injuries, but it was a close. Luckily, he was able to anticipate the attack at the last moment."Of all the opponents I've faced, it seems true this person might be one of the most challenging to defeat..."He couldn't ignore this fact. In moments like these, he needed to remain calm to defeat Endra.Endra, on the other hand, was impressed by Garlan's ability to anticipate his attacks. This was an experience he couldn't gain through just a few training sessions. It required repeated encounters and avoiding death to become tougher.Endra's bod

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

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

"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

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?"
