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
BELLUM PRAESINTIA Situations That May Be Unexpected
He remained silent, despite the seconds racing as darkness approached, which could be dangerous for them if they stayed there at night."It seems he won't provide any information!" Endra's response was based on what he had instilled in the spies: never give any information if caught. Everything had to be kept, even if it meant risking their lives.Garlan also understood this well. He had often caught stubborn infiltrators, and this situation was no different."It's just like this!" Garlan prepared to swing his sword to sever the man's neck."No..."But, as the swing was about to be released, the man's sudden scream stopped everything. He even knelt in fear."I will tell you. I was sent by Rafous to monitor this area."Rafous was Elisa's second brother, a sign her second brother also wanted to do something in that region."What were you spying on this area for?"From their earlier intentions, it was clear Rafous had no good intentions that could be used as a valid reason. However, this
BELLUM PRAESINTIA Now Decide To Doing All Of This
"She told me to rest for a moment!" But, Garlan wasn't the type of person to do that.His body was trained well enough to be ready for any situation, even when exhausted.Instead of just pondering, it would be better for him to read all the reports he hadn't read yet.It was clear his journey to the border region had left behind various important matters."Hmm...."But, the information he wanted wasn't there; it simply addressed problems within that region.Observing the situation was Endra's responsibility, and valid information wouldn't be received until he shared it."Huh... so I have to wait and see how this situation plays out?" Garlan asked in frustration. He paused for a moment to take a deep breath while looking out of the open window.The time was ready approaching the evening, and he needed to prepare for the night. Investigating this issue could wait until tomorrow morning.Following Elisa's instructions, Garlan's body had been adequately rested to be ready for activities t
BELLUM PRAESINTIA Mental Problems to Prepare for War
Today seemed like any other day, filled with a soothing sense of peace that permeated all round.Endra enjoyed his favorite drink under the scorching sun, and everything changed when the footsteps of approaching armored warriors grew louder."General..."The melodic voice made Endra turn his head uncomfortably, and indeed, there were soldiers looking at him with seriousness."Is there a problem?""I want to inform you, there are troops moving from the west..."The alcohol he was about to enjoy suddenly tasted bland, but Endra didn't show his surprise to that man. His face still calm as he continued to gaze at the table.Then he stood up from his chair, exuding the aura of a general's spirit that had become one with him."Well, can you provide more detailed information about this matter?""Alright, I will do that."According to this soldier, there had been movement from Citrullus region, giving orders to a troop of more than 1,000 people to advance towards the fortress. This was not ju
BELLUM PRAESINTIA The General's Power Has Discouraged Their Courage
Such an object greatly surprised the fortress' soldiers, a tower that would be used to facilitate their plans to attack the enemy troops."Damn, so they're really prepared for this war!"From this, it was also clear the enemy had the capability to hide something from the scouts they sent.Endra wondered how something so large could elude the scouts he had sent.As a result of this incident, the course' war could change dramatically. The enemy could make moves by using the tower to launch an attack."Hehehe... How about that? Don't think for a moment that we have no choice to attack. With this tower, we can make this even shorter, and of course, we will win this war!"The Citrullus military officer was filled with enthusiasm, and even the soldiers around him were motivated to engage in the slaughter.Suddenly, the fortress took extreme action. The tightly closed gate was now open and revealed a large number of troops."Attack...""What! Damn, why are they daring to launch a direct atta
BELLUM PRAESINTIA Returning to the Long Abandoned Capital City
One week had passed since the attack, and there was no longer anything suspicious. Even the scouts hadn't found any signs of the enemy spying on the fortress.And today, Endra tried to report what he had found. He spurred his horse as fast as he could toward the capital, without any soldiers accompanying him.Upon entering the city's territory, there were many activities happening."It seems nothing has changed here, but it looks like Princess Elisa has made a great effort!"The safety of the people could be seen from the happiness on their faces, and right now, Endra saw joy on the faces of those present. Everyone had joyful expressions as the sun shone brightly.His conspicuous presence was ignored; some of them even considered Endra to be an ordinary resident, especially since he deliberately hid his identity as a general. He blended in by wearing typical civilian clothing, but this also allowed him to easily identify issues within the community.Most nobles would ignore the needs
BELLUM PRAESINTIA A Plan To Uncover What The Future Will Look Like
"Is that all you want to convey?" Garlan asked with a disappointed tone.Endra was instantly surprised by the man's enthusiasm, whose demeanor didn't seem to exude such high fervor; he turned out to be very aggressive."Hah... don't speak like that! Do you think that in times like these, we should just wait? If we continue like this, the enemy is likely to make significant moves!""That means..."Endra nodded in response to the tension in the atmosphere.It was an answer for them to make use of the limited time left.Garlan quickly stroked his chin while contemplating all the possibilities that could occur. Many problems might confront them in such times."If you're only thinking about this, when can I meet Princess Elisa..." Endra grumbled while looking at Garlan's face with disappointment.Slowly Garlan directed his gaze. "You're right, I can't keep holding you back!"With that, Endra was allowed to leave, as he should. However, for now, Garlan decided to accompany him to meet Elisa

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

"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?"
