BELLUM PRAESINTIA Even though this is just exercise, there is no guarantee that your body will remain healthy.
Rosa's heart was pounding fast; this training session felt like a real battlefield."Huh... I must be confident; I can definitely overcome this situation!" With determination, Rosa pointed her sword toward the soldier.Her hands tightly gripped the sword, and her feet produced quick, rhythmic steps.Swings...The sword glided towards the target.Tack...Successfully held by the soldier, Rosa's sword didn't budge, even though she exerted great strengthShe didn't give up easily. With a firm attitude, she started executing different moves, delivering serious strikes.Tack..."It's still too shallow," the soldier criticized harshly.Rosa's eyes widened, confused by those words. She should have been lamenting her thrown-off balance."You should be better prepared in any situation. Warfare is not as lenient as this! Get up and train again."Rosa hurriedly obeyed the soldier's command, directing her sword straight ahead and advancing to defeat him. However, by the end of the training sessio
BELLUM PRAESINTIA An Exercise That Should Not Be Wasted
With a smooth move, she managed to evade the attacks brought by this soldier."What..."Rosa didn't just stand idly by; after doing that, this time she launched an attack.Aware of Rosa's wooden sword swing, the soldier tried to resist.Tack...A strong clash occurred, other cadets watched the duel between those two. They didn't know what was happening, but at this moment, Rosa showed a ferocity far from that of a normal woman.In fact, among the ongoing training, her potential seemed different.Tack.The soldier's body was strong enough to be used, but he couldn't throw Rosa as usual."Don't get too arrogant..."Only then did full strength change the situation; Rosa seemed pushed, but unfortunately, her legs were still ready to stand.Rosa adopted a serious stance, tightening her grip."Hah! Hah! Hah! Seriously, where does this woman get such abilities? Impossible she has developed this fast?" The soldier's sweat poured down, and he began to feel pressured by the enthusiastic watcher
BELLUM PRAESINTIA The General Has Visited Suddenly
This routine exercise began to blend with Rosa's body; it no longer felt as burdensome as before.Out of the many cadets, only a few managed to persevere.The new cadets also dwindled because they realized that physical training here was not as easy as they had imagined. It could be said they were not mentally ready for routines like that.Every month, there would be 2 to 3 new batches of cadets, and each of them would initially appear joyful like newly hatched chicks.However, after some time, their faces turned darker, dustier, and filled with fatigue. Just like the faces of the veteran cadets who had been through 3 months of training, there have been many changes.There were no more complaints, no derogatory remarks; they realized clearly that belittling someone else's efforts was pointless.However, there would still be occasional conflicts arising from various issues.To conclude this month, Rosa remained diligent in training before sunrise. Her body had become more muscular but
BELLUM PRAESINTIA Training all prospective new soldiers on the true meaning of war.
Each cadet had already taken their equipment for combat, and here they had additional shields accompanied by iron armor.Quite different from their usual training, they wouldn't be wearing armor to facilitate movement. But, this time was different. Every soldier present was also wearing armor as an obligation.They realized after training themselves competently, they had to get used to wearing the armor.It was a bit heavy, but it didn't really hinder the movement of their hand or foot attacks too much."For those of you who are ready, please return to the formation..." the soldier ordered.They complied with a readiness that showed their seriousness.Now, all they needed to do was defeat one man. An interesting twist was that the opponent in front of them only had a wooden sword in hand, while they were equipped with real swords.It seemed like a joke, but those who understood knew the opponent in front of them wouldn't be easily defeated."From the first row, please step forward and
BELLUM PRAESINTIA Try To Bring Understanding To Them
Rosa would gladly face Garlan, but she would not be consumed by that desire. Since the beginning of their training, she had been observing Garlan's movements, which left her in awe. Few movements were like those during training sessions with other soldiers, and every strike could bring opponents to their knees.Rosa had to find a good method to launch her attacks.Their eyes remained locked on each other for over a minute, creating a sense of curiosity about why neither of them had moved since earlier.But, that wouldn't last forever. Rosa bravely ran forward, positioning herself to strike.Garlan's foot moved to the side, avoiding her attack. Rosa's eyes tracked Garlan's hand movements as it swung.Tack...As expected, a sudden attack was launched, and fortunately, she had anticipated it.Garlan was quite surprised by Rosa's ability to predict the arrival of his sword, but the pressure was still too much to bear.Rosa's breath felt heavy, and she didn't expect that merely holding off
BELLUM PRAESINTIA Try to understand the current situation
The atmosphere felt uncomfortable; the girl in front of Garlan remained silent."Do you have time...""Uh... yes..." How could she refuse Garlan's invitation?They then sat on the available bench, with Rosa intentionally standing beside the bench to acknowledge her position as a cadet.It was inappropriate to sit near a respected officer, and she felt embarrassed."Why are you standing? Don't you want to sit?"Rosa remained silent for a moment, not knowing why there was a mysterious aura around Garlan's face that seemed to envelop her."What's with this girl?" Garlan received no response, so his hand took the initiative to pull from left and right.Rosa blinked a few times, appearing as though she was jolted back to reality, realizing her foolishness in front of Garlan."Are you okay?""I'm okay..." Just like Garlan's words, Rosa then sat on the bench, though her position was at the end of the bench.It couldn't be denied this might be the behavior of someone who was still nervous. Ga
BELLUM PRAESINTIA Making Decisions For Times Like These
Everything had changed, a day that was so precious to Rosa, as she could gain direct trust from Garlan.She was also proud that Garlan had admitted her as a knight."I cannot be lazy; I must prove myself..."In the following days, Rosa continued her rigorous training, even more disciplined than usual.The other cadets felt there was something unusual about this woman; she was more masculine than most of the people there.Even the soldiers didn't dare to tease or simply talk to her, as many of them suffered heavy defeats during training.All of this culminated at the end of the 4th month, which marked the graduation time for the cadets. Those who survived would soon be ordered to report to the palace for their positions as soldiers.They would be selected based on observations during their training. They thought those soldiers were only trained, but that was not the case. They had been watched, starting from their thought process, mental training, and readiness for when battles occurre
BELLUM PRAESINTIA Troublesome Stubbornness
Today, it seemed like the weather was supporting her spirit, impatiently wanting to know the decision of the palace. She couldn't stop thinking about the figure of Garlan, who would be her mentor.At the palace gate, two guards were standing as usual, but upon closer inspection, these men appeared different from the guards from the day before, and their faces seemed unfamiliar."Is there a problem, Miss?" one of the guards asked with a stern demeanor."Hmm... I want to know if the selection announcement for new recruits has been completed," Rosa inquired.The meaning of the girl's words was not entirely understood, and it required the two guards to exchange glances."Are you a candidate for the new recruits?" the guard on the left asked."Yes, I have undergone special training!" Rosa replied.Both guards didn't know how to respond; they felt Rosa's claim a bit strange."Miss, are you deliberately lying to us?" the first guard asked."No, I'm not lying! I have genuinely completed the t

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?"
