However, Garlan and his troops did not allow the enemies to have their way.The soldiers continued to fight with all their might. The sudden change in the enemy's behavior made the situation even more chaotic, with every border region becoming a target of attack."General, our troops in the northern region are facing difficulties! They are requesting reinforcements..." reported a soldier who had just arrived. This man had been traveling a quite long way to reach this point, and the sweat on his face had long forgotten how long it had been unimpeded.The answer he was looking for was not that easy to find, as only silence could be seen on Garlan's face.It's not that he didn't hear it; his ears were still functioning well enough to hear everything. But, what else could he do? He didn't need to give any answer."Are you gone mad? Right now, our troops here are in a dire situation. The enemies have already started their attacks, and there's no time for them to rest..." scolded a soldier
Everyone followed him flowing to the melody of the horse race, all carried away by the enthusiasm to face the enemy.This fortress was recently conquered, only a few hours ago there was a fierce battle, but the results were already accepted by the opposing side.With their arrogance, they treated the residents, defeated soldiers, and innocent people as lowly creatures.It was truly a painful sight to witness, they had not arrived for this moment."En-Enemy attack..."The alarm had sounded, and all soldiers began to prepare themselves for battle once again.Those who were tied and gathered could only watch, pondering with this large caravan of horses.For those who knew, the flag symbolized a leader who had been awaited for quite some time.The troops who had initially lost their courage, began to intend to fight back.Crash...And, the troops were divided into two divisions. One division joined Garlan to destroy the core of the enemy troops, while the others had to check those hostage
The situation was getting more complicated before he could resolve the ongoing problem. Now, he had to deal with another war, but if that territory wasn't protected, everything would come to an end."Huh... this is what it means to be the leader every region needs. I understand why a king looks so depressed when their territory is taken by the enemy! Maintaining all of this isn't cheap!"Reflecting back on his past as a mercenary who didn't care about anyone's territory, he only came for the money and left without thinking about the people he defeated.Now, suddenly, everything had to be felt, and it was clear to him this was karma.Reluctantly, Garlan said, "I will send troops to the border region, so tell him to be patient...""Alright..."Then the man left Garlan alone in the room.Only silence now surrounded Garlan, time will not make it easier. Everything seemed to revolve around the cruelty of torturing his mind and soul.If he sent troops to the border region, the risk was clea
Actually, this is not a difficult matter if his troops are still here. There would be some reliable people who could infiltrate and provide help from within the fort, but now, he was leading ordinary troops.It's impossible for them to fight like thieves, climbing trees like squirrels is certainly not something they can do.Here, Garlan is not someone who wants to expect more, whether he likes it or not, he has to do everything he can. He's risking all the luck he has for victory.The day is beginning to dawn, and the troops on the walls are already overcome by heavy sleepiness. They stayed up all night just to monitor the enemy, and at this point, they really wanted to sleep.There's a shift change, but it's not enough to keep their eyes open.Crash...Everyone is disturbed by the rain, not just ordinary rain, but sharp arrows falling from the sky, hitting their bodies.Panic spreads easily, and there's no one hoping for a peaceful sleep at a time like this.Then the troops inside th
"What have you done? Do you know you've disrupted my time?" His emotions overflowed as he gazed at the man's face, feeling as if he could take this man's life."I'm sorry, but I have important information!" Regretfully, the man tried to explain."What?""Now the enemy has successfully breached the fortress..."What kind of noisy commotion made him realize that statement was indeed true, slowly turning his head to the side?Really shocked the sounds of war were raging.At a moment when he was making love, the situation had changed so drastically."What, shouldn't the enemy be unable to enter this fortress?""Yes, but one of their strong knights managed to climb the wall and create this situation!"Logically, it was hard to accept. This fortress had walls over 10 meters high, and it took extra effort to climb it. Even though the war tower was difficult to reach the top of the wall, but it was all proven this war running smoothly.There was no more reason for the man to relax; he had to
Garlan's presence in the midst of the war startled those soldiers. In such a difficult situation, they had to listen to what he had to say."I don't want to say much. Choose quickly! Your leader has already been defeated, and there's no one left to lead you. Do you all still want to fight? Surrender or continue is in your hands. Decide now..."He gained attention after killing one of the soldier leaders who was trying to control the situation. He held the leader's head and then threw it aside. It rolled and stopped at the feet of a soldier, who stared at the man's face filled with suffering.The soldiers fell silent, deeply feeling how the head had been severed from the body."Don't joke around! The troops here will never be defeated! Our general is not defeated yet. We will not surrender to someone like you..."Shouting at the top of his lungs, and the other soldier who was initially hesitant began to find their courage again, and the battle continued."You fools. Is this warning not
Rafous was left speechless upon hearing Dapion's words, but he didn't know how to suppress the burning feeling in his heart as if it were about to explode."Your Majesty..." A man who was the kingdom's chief strategist began to muster his courage, unable to bear seeing Rafous so frustrated by the situation."What?""I believe Lord Dapion is right. We should not deploy our troops to that region at this moment.""Huh?" Rafous responded with a harsh snort."I'm sorry, but if we do that, the enemy will likely win this war..."Everyone except Dapion was shocked by this statement, all of them seemed doubtful of Dapion's wordsThey were starting to lose faith in him, having granted him the title of the best strategist not to hear dire statements like this."What's your reason for saying this?"But, the discussion was not over yet; they tried once more to formulate their stance, thinking about what would happen next."The enemy troops currently fighting in battle are likely prepared to launch
Jennie felt like she could understand the meaning of Elisa's words; she was not a stranger to her."I haven't had a chance to repay your kindness, Your Highness, so I don't deserve to be treated as a friend!" she replied, her tone innocent and bashful, too embarrassed to lift her face.Elisa had to let out a long sigh; it was so difficult for her to convey that her explanation signified equality.However, life in this era had been tainted by the opinions of their ancestors. Those of royal descent were exaggerated, often considered a line that had been ordained by God to be adhered to.In many cases, people would differentiate based on selfish attitudes, assuming that anyone in a higher position could do anything. Those below them would become lowly servants, treated unfairly, serving those in higher castes.History of this nature had sickened Elisa; she had read scrolls many times, revealing how the world worked at this time. Everything was based on greed, and she didn't want that to
"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
"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 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
"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?"
