2023-10-30 13:14:22Garlan's footsteps were resolute as he gathered the courage to meet Cyria in the new room. As he crossed the village, some of the residents still stared and murmured in amazement at his presence.
Cyria's eyes remained fixed on Garlan as he approached until stood before her, about 4 meters away.
They exchanged serious glances.
"Why did you come to see me today?" Cyria asked sternly in front of everyone.
Garlan didn't directly respond to her question. Instead, he looked around, observing the people who had gathered to witness the encounter. The atmosphere grew awkward, but Garlan didn't let the seriousness fade from his face.
"Well, today I feel that it's time for me to feel safe and grateful for the hospitality you've offered. It's time for me to start moving on," he said, breaking the silence.
Unbeknownst to everyone present, Cyria's pupils dilated slightly a

Standing there, and witnessing all of this, Garlan was quite disgusted by the actions of these people. However, he had also done similar things in the past, only to survive with his group before becoming a mercenary.Some of them became aware of the presence of someone they considered very strange, and their eyes were directly drawn to that person.Of course, if the presence of this stranger attracted the attention of the leader of these bandits, he regarded the person with great disdain."Hah... who are you? How dare you show yourself in front of me..."Garlan's mouth didn't speak directly, but his eyes looked around. What was happening here was quite horrifying, and the blood and bodies of the fallen soldiers were much clearer."Hey, are you ignoring me?" he asked again with a rough tone. It felt like he might crush Garlan's head right now."No, I just happ

And, it's true the strike had landed right on this big man's body, spewing fresh blood to the point where no one could blink their eyes."Impossible, only a leader can withstand an attack from him!"The man they called the leader remained steadfast, even though he had been attacked, he still stood tall.While clutching his severely injured waist, his eyes stared at Garlan, who was standing."How dare you hurt me like this!"Garlan didn't say anything; he was just surprised by his opponent's impressive physical condition, which allowed him to endure the pain he had just inflicted.He released his hand covering the wound, acting as if the previous incident was mere empty talk with no real consequences.In the remaining time, Garlan took a deep breath."Why do people like you still act as if this fight can be won? Shouldn't you just give up? It's ridiculous for someone like you!"Clearly, Garlan's statement was an insult to the bandits."Just because of one scratch, you think you've won?
BELLUM PRAESINTIA Triggers of Old Habits
After a bit longer, one of these individuals approached Garlan. It was, of course, the leader of the guards."Sir, I thank you for your assistance that saved us all!" He saluted with genuine gratitude."Is that so! But I'm here to help you, not just to help!" Garlan's rough tone conveyed his intentions easily to the leader of the guards."But we don't have the money to pay for what you've done! What should we do?"Garlan glanced towards the woman being protected by several people."From your all appearances, are you members of the royal family?""Yes! We are indeed from a kingdom! And this time, we are escorting someone important." He felt anxious about disclosing this information to a stranger, as Garlan might have been another attacker like the ones before.Garlan nodded and then spoke, "In that case, I will accompany you to your intended kingdom, and then you can compensate me for my help."It was an easy decision for Garlan, but, of course, executing it would not be as straightfor
BELLUM PRAESINTIA You've Betrayed so Accept This
This statement directly confused Garlan. He had hoped for a much friendlier welcome, but instead, he found himself facing stern reproach."What do you mean by what you're saying? I don't understand at all!" Garlan replied firmly, feeling there was no need for formality. Every part of his body was now poised for action."We heard it directly; you and the bandits conspired to set up Princess Elisa in this incident! Therefore, we must put you in prison!" The statement had been ambiguous from the beginning, and now Garlan found himself confronted by soldiers brandishing weapons.Reluctantly, Garlan had to defend himself. Quickly, he drew his sword and assumed a combat-ready stance."Capture this man..." the man shouted, becoming the catalyst for all the soldiers.There were too many soldiers present, and the previously serene location had turned chaotic. Everyone attempted to strike
BELLUM PRAESINTIA Be Patient WIth You Current Situation
"You've been trapped!" he continued in a horrified tone.Garlan didn't appear surprised; his face remained lowered as he recalled all the events that had led up to this moment. Regret welled up within him, but he couldn't deny it. He couldn't stop all of this; it felt as though it was all meant to happen."You seem remarkably composed in a situation like this," the man said again, attempting to lighten the mood."Everything has become quite ordinary for me. I don't need to question why this is happening. I just want to know how to get out of this mess.""That's impossible," he retorted angrily. "You won't easily get out of here. You're likely to be forgotten by them all, just like what happened to me."It sounded rather dreadful; indeed, in this situation, finding a way out was incredibly difficult. It might even end in an execution."I might not be able to find a solution to all of this, but at least I must fight to resolve it."Hearing this brought a chuckle from the man; he admired
BELLUM PRAESINTIA An Escape That Accidentally Involved Him
"Princess Elisa..." the man said, looking deeply shocked by this turn of events.However, unlike Garlan who undoubtedly felt strange about Elisa's presence."What does this woman want? Why did she bother coming here?" he asked, giving her a sharp look.The most crucial thing here was Elisa's expression. If she seemed happy, it would mean something sinister was afoot. However, when they entered the room, Elisa's face showed enough shock."Endragora..." Her sorrowful utterance, accompanied by tears, came quickly. She couldn't even contain the pain as her legs felt weak beneath her.Endra felt pity seeing this woman in such distress.Garlan couldn't find Elisa's actions staged, as everything here felt too genuine, even if it made someone as ruthless as him slightly disgusted."Princess, what are you doing here? Did you have permission to visit this prison?"From his statement, Garlan could understand that Endra was not just an ordinary prisoner. They might not know each other, but he had
BELLUM PRAESINTIA A Quite Troublesome Escape
As Garlan stepped out of the prison, he expressed his impression of what Endra had just done."It seems like you've grown quite accustomed to situations like this!"Endra grinned in response to the compliment.Deep down, they both understood the aura they were emitting was similar. It was as if they had found a brother they were never blood-related to."I just needed a warm-up for this, and while I was confined here, did you think I'd just sit idly by?"Garlan didn't comment much on this matter. They needed to hurry and leave; the people who had visited them earlier were evidence that someone knew about the situation.Their footsteps echoed through the dark corridor, driven by the desire to get out of that place."Are you sure about returning to the palace after this?" Garlan asked.Elisa felt reluctant to answer. She herself was unsure of how to convey the situation might be worse than she could imagine. But there was no other option. They had to enter the palace, which was likely a
BELLUM PRAESINTIA A Very Exhausting Escape
Logically, although he had tried to behave in order to save Elisa, fighting in a situation like this was quite impossible. He would not be able to swing his sword freely."Put me down!" Elisa snapped.The timing was just right; in front of them, there were still many soldiers ready to attack.Garlan's body felt much lighter after doing it."Very well then, just wait a moment..."After saying that, Garlan quickly rushed toward the waiting troops.Crash...Elisa couldn't bear to watch it all, blood splattering mixed with the sound of tearing flesh and skin.The sound rang out loudly and then returned to silence, slowly she tried to open her eyes. It was truly astonishing; her eyes only saw one man standing amidst the corpses drenched in blood.It wasn't a dream; the blood on the tip of Garlan's sword was still fresh."For the umpteenth time, I've tried to do something like this!" Garlan looked around, making sure nothing was moving.Shung...The sword was sheathed once again."Now we mu

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?"
