BELLUM PRAESINTIA It feels like this is just nonsense that was deliberately put forward
A woman with a surprised expression gazed at Garlan and Rosa, who were standing in front of the door. She had no idea who was in front of her at that moment."Excuse me, can I help you with something?" the woman asked gently.She was confused by the presence of these two person carrying a large cart wrapped in thick cloth, which looked like building materials ready to be moved.Without thinking too positively, this location was unintentionally constructed on land that could be evicted by the royal authorities at any time."Can we discuss this inside a room?" Garlan asked firmly."Of course, please come in."Both of them entered this classic-style house made of old but well-maintained wooden planks. Candlelights illuminated every corner of the building, but when they passed through, several pairs of eyes stared at them in wonder."Oh... don't tell me this!" Rosa just realized the house they were visiting was an orphanage, and many small children were spontaneously looking at them.Thei
BELLUM PRAESINTIA How this will desire
In other words, there is a possibility this orphanage will be demolished. Just thinking about it made the two women tremble.They had no power to oppose the decision; everything that was said could become a reality for them."G-General, I beg you not to demolish this place!" And, this was all they could do. They lowered their heads onto the table; any faster movement would have resulted in a collision sound.The woman beside her began to do the same, unable to withstand the sacrifice made by the middle-aged woman to preserve the orphanage.However, since a while ago, the atmosphere had been too silent. Their souls were misled into the abyss of fear.Negative thoughts about the upcoming events continued to haunt them; they had no idea what Garlan would say next.Garlan's eyes were still fixed on the two women, intimidating enough to humble anyone."Raise your heads!" Garlan ordered.They quickly did so, except for their eyes, which still couldn't look straight ahead.Next, Garlan stood
BELLUM PRAESINTIA Every Time Someone Must Give Understanding to This Problem
These footsteps continue to trace the path previously taken, amidst the falling snow and this cold air, there was a warmth that spread into the body.Not because of thick clothing, but the pride of witnessing a man who has always been strong and able to do good."If you keep staring at me like this, I might accidentally launch an attack!" Garlan teased.Rosa shivered, never thinking that Garlan would notice her glances."I'm sorry, I didn't mean to!" She lowered her head in embarrassment for this."Why? Are you questioning my actions today?" Garlan asked firmly.Feeling challenged, Rosa nodded innocently. She truly couldn't resist knowing the reason why Garlan was doing this.Suddenly, Garlan stopped his steps in the midst of the falling snow, and Rosa looked at the man's expressive face."Indeed, I feel this is an unusual act! A fierce knight giving food to orphans! What kind of joke is this!"No, Rosa never thought it was a joke; she didn't even smile or laugh at it.The meaning of
BELLUM PRAESINTIA That is not something that can be used as an excuse for all these problems
Nightfall arrived, truly peaceful. The sound of crickets always accompanied Garlan's time for reading the book he brought from the palace; it was targeted for moments of relaxation like this.He didn't want to be burdened by the constant affairs of the kingdom; even his rest felt exhausting.Outside, Rosa watched over the area, ensuring no strangers entered Garlan's room.She carried out her duty as a guard very seriously, her eyes constantly scanning her surroundings. Even the passing wind would be considered suspicious movement, and she wouldn't hesitate to draw her sword.Tap! Tap! Tap!"Footsteps?" Rosa tensed all her muscles, her gaze fixed on the knocks coming from behind the crossroads. The person who had this footstep had yet to appear, but she was prepared to strike deadly."Subtle footsteps. Is this person deliberately crossing this path? I won't allow it; it might be an assassin!"The figure began to appear, and Rosa had her sword ready to strike.And..."Aaah..."A woman's
BELLUM PRAESINTIA This seemingly simple thought becomes a terrible burden
"Very strange, why is the atmosphere so calm?" Rosa kept her eyes open, although her body was starting to feel tired, her once clear eyes now wavering.But, she refused to rest for even a moment, determined to carry out this task even if it meant staying up all night.Her body felt comfortable in this silence, although earlier in the day, it was bustling with the sounds of people going about their activities."No, this is too calm!" She began to feel something was wrong, her head turning towards the positions of the other guards who were on duty.They were stationed at their respective posts for Garlan's safety, and Rosa was the closest to his room.They all had their own assigned tasks, and they wouldn't let anything bad happen.Her eyes scanned the surroundings while her footsteps continued to echo through the empty streets. But as she walked further, nothing happened."What!"Unfortunately, her naive feeling was too unbelievable, as many guards had already fallen in that location.
BELLUM PRAESINTIA A Problem That Was Unexpected
"No other choice, I have to leave from here!" He growled firmly, then daringly rushed towards Garlan.The sword he held began to swing quickly. "Get out of my way; I will defeat you right here..."Swings...Surprisingly, Garlan also charged toward him. It was going to be a one-sided battle of strength.Tings...Everything was eerily silent, the perfect moment for Rosa to appear and watch in silence as these two men continued their confrontation.Both of them stood still as their bodies brushed past each other, their swords still in the finishing swing position."What's happening here?" Rosa asked in confusion.Crash...But after a while, it became clear who had won the fight as the foreign man fell, blood pouring from his abdomen and mouth."Argh... why do I get into situations like this?"Chills ran down his spine as he heard a slight movement from the sword behind his head. He didn't dare to turn around; a quick glance was enough to see a fierce silhouette constantly watching him."
BELLUM PRAESINTIA Even though you have provided understanding, this will still feel difficult to convey
His hands trembled as he watched several gold coins, around 20 of them, and these were valuable, worth enough to exchange for 100 lives for just one gold coin."Take that thing! Consider it as compensation for what happened..."Of course, he couldn't be happy witnessing this. People needed to work so hard to survive. Obtaining even a single silver coin was so difficult, and now he held 20 gold coins in his hand."T-Thank you..."He instantly knelt down, followed by his servants and employees, all of them overcome with emotion.No one expected this, but the recent incident would also lead to a bad reputation.At the very least, Garlan wanted to prepare for the possibility this inn might be closed.After this incident, Garlan and his guards continued their journey.They were a bit late, as they had initially planned to leave at dawn. But now, the sun was scorching, making it hard to find their way.Some people at the inn still considered their presence unusual and whispered sarcasticall
BELLUM PRAESINTIA Even though this visit was not very valuable, remembering everything that happened is a memory that must be shared.
Rosa's face still had to be amazed by the town behind that fortress, bustling with people.It didn't seem like a city in the Citrullus region; the people here were much more welcoming, and they didn't look surprised at Garlan's carriage."So many people in this town!""This place is one of the cities that witnessed a long war. I remember they all hoped that the border troops could survive, and even some residents refused to evacuate to protect the land in this country..."Memories from Garlan's past resurfaced, but this was what made him recall the scent of the desire to fight, even in the most dire circumstances."It's amazing how the people here have a patriotic attitude to protect their homeland!"Rosa became increasingly jealous of the people who took part in the war at that time. The reality at the time was filled with frightening contradictions, and there were many possibilities they could have failed, making the entire population there suffer. Perhaps, if it weren't for luck, 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

"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?"
