A Wish to Grab Happiness

Once the policy was in place, old General Richard moved quickly. Immediately after agreeing on a broad framework with Lugis, we will begin the rearrangement of the army.

The new Royal Army, which merged the Garrison with the old Royal Army, once again set out to raise its spear to the battlefield.

Before the building, it was called the destruction of the Great Magic. But the ultimate goal as a nation is different.

The ultimate goal is the suppression of the north - the cathedral's immediate territory - and the crusade against the arrogant Amelitz-Gerlitz.

By doing so, Garrison's new kingdom can finally settle the unstable situation in both military and political life.

The expedition was also to be conducted in coordination with Sigilism, the allies of Gaza and the Bolvat dynasty, and the Southern Elizalds.

Although it is in front of the building, it is close to swearing to each other's inviolability.

Richard and Sigil were good leaders, but the real threat is imminent.

--That is, the presence of the fortress giant beast Zebrelilis.

If we continue to leave the continent devoured, it will be a threat to all nations. Whatever means you use, you have to settle.

This sentiment was common to all factions and people.

Queen Phyllos, who finally agreed to the expedition, flew these warriors, including Lugis and Richard.

"Unjustly, the cathedral is taking control of our land and robbing the people of money and goods by calling it taxes! In addition, I worshipped my ancestor as an arrogant. This is a rebellion. Immediately suppress the rebels and give them troops to defend the people from the Great Demons and Magic!

I had as much as I wanted for my business. Things go on forever. Everyone was busy running this important thing.

Perhaps there is only one person who is not happy with this situation. Richard's lieutenant, Neimar-Gloria, finished his last troop formation at the barracks before reporting one to his superiors.

"... Captain, no, General. Again, you should not be arrogant this time. This expedition cannot be avoided, but it cannot be won."

Richard listened to Naymar with his eyes on the report.

I didn't raise my face, but I heard the voice itself. She knew the same thing, so she continued her words.

"If we go north, the cathedral will definitely move. The number of troops we can mobilize is limited to 20,000, and the total number of private soldiers of all nobles is 30,000. On the other hand, the cathedral holds 50,000 troops from the former Royal Army and the Order of the Cathedral. Morale is also very high under the patronage of the cathedral. The quality of the Commander is by no means inferior. There is no need for you to cover yourself with mud. Leave it to that man."

Talk about it again, Namor.

Naymar speaks frankly as he looks at Richard. This was an expression of her honesty, but it was also a drawback. At least she is not at all fit to persuade someone.

Because there are no masterpieces that are straightforward and easily accepted with opposite opinions.

She could absorb anything honestly, but only argumentation was immature. Richard looks up slightly out of sight from the report.

"Say it again and again. My lord! Are you satisfied with that man treating you like a lizard's tail! The cathedral still welcomes us. General Britney would be welcome too, my lord!

"I don't think you're really suitable for persuasion. People don't ride in such plain words. Only when I was a hungry demon did the right thing."

"... you don't think you can win, either."

Richard inadvertently distorted his wrinkles and laughed.

Until a while ago, Naymar was just a tough man who would shut his mouth as soon as he could say one thing. On the other hand, if there is a cut, it may break.

But now she was tenacious. The opponent had enough temper to eat.

"... if you're going to do it from the front. What you're saying isn't wrong. We're dealing with the Cathedral and the Devil. Even though it's just unfavourable, I'll have to split my body in two and fight. But I told you so many times. If you want to go, you can go north."

I'm not going alone.

Keeping his spine straight, Neimar looks directly at his superiors. She said that her eyes were not cloudy and that she had no negative consequences.

I'm sure you won't turn your heel back just by saying something cheap. After admitting it, Richard finally put the report on the desk and lined up with her.

"... I'm talking about the economy, but this time I'm not going to attack the cathedral like this. We're just going to fight for the northern fort. If the cathedral comes down south while Rugis targets the Zebrellis, I'll hold them off. It's more like a defense measure."

As the Great Devil Zebrelilith approaches, we can't be reckless enough to invade.

But if we just protect them, we can prevent them with half the strength of our enemies. This time, it was a maneuver that only physically suppressed the enemy, and it was different from the aggressive offensive like the alley.

"... I see. If General Britney were to come, I think he would speak quite differently."

Naymar was still unable to swallow Richard's words and was desperately biting his teeth. I even seem to be trying to hold onto the other person somehow.

"I was under General Britness for a while, but, as you said, she has a different standard.... I can't see how I can beat her with twice as much power. In any case, I don't think we should conflict with her. You know General Britness well, my lord."

― ― If you say you work in battle, there is no one in the world who can surpass me.

In the vicinity of Bella's burial prison, Valerie's expression floated on her eyelids. Namar now knows that it's not overconfident or arrogant, it's just true.

How could Valerie have gained enthusiastic support from other generals? That's because she's the overwhelming calorie that keeps others away.

While doing this, Namor felt afraid to crawl up his heel.

Turn that deviant monster into an enemy.

Neimar is not foolish enough to know what it means.

After listening to her at the end, Richard nodded.

"Oh, my God. My mouth began to spin. I wonder if he and you have a bad way of raising me."

"... I don't want you to line up with that man."

That man and Namor were the only ones talking. Always tell him to throw up his nasty feelings on his face.

Richard smiled surprisingly honestly. Normal old age and cruelty are invisible to the eyes. I said it with a nostalgic tone.

"No, if that's what you mean, Valerie too - I started face-to-face with Valerie when he was still on the run. I was an adventurer, abandoning my title as a hero. You know what he said when we first met?

Naymar didn't shake his neck and looked at his superiors' faces.

Richard, who barely talked about the past, suddenly sounded nostalgic. Rather, I've never heard of Valerie dating since then.

What the hell are you going to say?

Leaving aside her agitation, Richard continued his words.

"--Former brave man. For the pride of my fathers and the tranquillity of my soul, I offer you a duel. That's what he said. He came at me. If assassination is at stake, it was unusual for someone to apply for a duel."

"... so what's the matter?"

"You can't run away. But then I started following things. I have a lot to take care of, and I've taught you a lot.... I don't know if I can beat the boulder anymore, but you're right, I know Valerie better than anyone. That's why I'd be the one to stop him."

So, isn't confrontation with her a mistake in the first place?

Naymar knew his eyes were full of anger. The teacher must be about to say something about himself again.

The moment I tried to disagree, Namor couldn't speak. Richard said before Naymar did.

"Take a good look. There's not much you can teach me on the battlefield anymore. There won't be a chance. I don't think this is the last time."

Finally, Richard stopped talking. We just need to get ready for the expedition.

I don't know what happened to Namor, but I couldn't stop him anymore. No, I understand that it won't come true.

Richard Palmyris will take the expedition north to Fort Medraut. The fortifications built in the hills are testimony to the fact that in the past the Garrison kingdom lost its land to that point and narrowed its borders. It was also the history of decline itself.

The conflict between the heroes of the past and the heroes of the present was no longer a distant future.
