2023-10-23 21:17:20"Homeland, huh!" Garlan fell silent as he beheld the nighttime sky, his heart deeply shaken by today's events.
After their conversation, Cyria asked Garlan to explore the village.
The smiles, hospitality, and way of life there truly made it clear that nature had merged with these people. Everything seemed no different from what had happened in the past, and Garlan couldn't help but envy it. If only he could return to the past for a true life.
"Why am I thinking about that now? Right now, I am nobody. Here, I'm just a man who must strive not to fall into sadness..."
Garlan's tone seemed tough, but in reality, his heart was profoundly shaken by all these events. Perhaps he would never be able to have that desire.
Days passed until five had come and gone. Over the past few days, Garlan had truly adapted to the ways of the people there. In addition to the military training he receive

BELLUM PRAESINTIA So Disappoint Incident
In the end, Garlan remained incredibly stubborn. Even though he had eaten the food provided, he didn't drink a drop of alcohol."Neh... why do you look so arrogant, is your heart made of stone?" Cyria asked, her tone sounding increasingly like that of a child.As Garlan had suspected, Cyria who had consumed too much alcohol had fallen into a relentless state of drunkenness."You've lost your sanity!" Garlan scolded, even though he understood that Cyria wouldn't comprehend his words, he still said them."Why are you saying that? Aren't you yourself quite drunk? As a man, you should have the courage to drink like this! You're losing your dignity as a man..."Whatever Cyria said, it didn't change Garlan's attitude. In fact, this man's expression hadn't changed for the past hour.The effects of drunkenness continued with incoherent babbling, and Cyria inadvertent
BELLUM PRAESINTIA However, You Need To Go Responsibility
With the occurrence of this attack, it has sent a chilling signal to all the villagers.Until now, they had never experienced such a problem, and it was clear that Garlan was the target of this error."Carrying out an attack like that, they are really trying to find me..."The armor used by the soldiers could be confirmed; they were indeed searching for Garlan."It turns out you're here!"Garlan was suddenly stunned upon hearing the greeting in this tone, slowly turning to face it.Since the attack happened, Garlan didn't want to show his face. He isolated himself on the hill that offered a view of the entire forest.The figure of Bokuri standing there gazed at him with a cold stare. The mysterious intensity of that gaze made Garlan feel like this was not a good sign."The tribal chief wants to meet with you!""It's time!" Garlan hurriedly stood up and said, "Yes..."Then they began to walk away.From behind, Garlan gazed at Bokuri's cold back. For some reason, this sensation suddenly
BELLUM PRAESINTIA Did That Best Choice?
Handing over the responsibility to someone like Garlan was indeed the right choice. He didn't come from the village, which left others slightly puzzled as to why he would acknowledge all of this."Lord Garlan, in other words, you've already accepted the consequences of these incidents!"Garlan nodded elegantly. "But, as I mentioned before, I want to leave here as soon as possible, yet you asked me to wait for seven days! I appreciate all of that, and I won't complain about this decision!"In truth, Garlan didn't need to say something long-winded; it was clear that Cyria and the villagers had wanted Garlan to be their new tribe leader from the beginning. In other words, this issue could never have been avoided from the start.They understood that Garlan was replacing the position as the tribe's leader, and now they might not have any reason to voice their opinions. Opposing the tribe leader was equiva
BELLUM PRAESINTIA Show Your Power To Me!
Everyone fell into an increasingly uncertain silence; a thousand languages would not be enough to express what was inside their heads.This was a humiliation that could potentially have a detrimental impact on their hopes."Do we really have to leave this place? We've been living here for years!" one of them expressed their disappointment, a decision that Garlan couldn't blame if it was indeed the final choice.Garlan's headshake was a signal for them to understand this situation could not be taken lightly."Do we have no chance of defeating them?" Cyria asked again to confirm his heartfelt statement."No, but it depends on the number of enemies."It was known this village was inhabited by around 200 people, and the numbers had been reduced due to previous attacks. Not everyone here could participate in the battle; most were women, elderly, or children.<
BELLUM PRAESINTIA You're Dueling Just To Prove IT
This is just regular practice, no, perhaps it's nonsense that doesn't want to admit this event.Although Bokuri has tried to resist, he still couldn't find a gap in Garlan's defense.This battle feels different from the last time they did it. Every attack is aggressive and intended to kill. Before, the atmosphere was not so intense, but now everything is becoming clearer."I have to corner him," Bokuri thought, and then he quickly took action. He moved forward until he stood beside Garlan.Garlan gave him a sharp look as he witnessed Bokuri's deadly attack.Ting...Both their swords clashed, and their muscles tensed as they tried to maintain their strength.One thing Bokuri noticed was that Garlan's eyes were fixed on him, serious without the slightest opening.12 seconds were enough for Garlan to defend
BELLUM PRAESINTIA Finding A New Place To Survive
Since the discussion that had taken place on that day, Cyria told the villagers to hurry and leave the village and seek a safe place.Initially, this was quite controversial for them; they didn't know why they were being told to leave their homes. However, they couldn't refuse the leader's orders either.The journey led southwest, which was quite confusing for them, as they could have encountered a welcome from nature or a real enemy.For that reason, Garlan decided to accompany them until the villagers reached their destination. Garlan also made sure the kingdom's troops did not chase them.By the third day, the troops from Northaderm had arrived at the village.The soldiers were astonished to find that the village was deserted, with houses standing empty."They've escaped cleverly!" muttered a frustrated officer leading the operation, none oth
BELLUM PRAESINTIA I'ts Time To Go, But A problem Arises Again
Garlan'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
BELLUM PRAESINTIA The opponent who is underestimated is a tough figure
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

"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

"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?"
