A Wish to Grab Happiness

Episode 542: A thousand years ago

Northern march in Garrison's new kingdom.

It is not that there was no disagreement within the new kingdom with this major military operation.

Some were concerned about confrontation with the former Garrison kingdom army, while some aristocracy expressed particular dissatisfaction with the Queen.

Crops are harvested only marginally in a dead snow environment. The length of this period is equal to keeping fighting while bleeding. Speaking of which, fortunately, 50,000 troops have fled north with minimal food, so they are now turning.

Still, there were many people who praised the march because there was an imminent threat. Humanity is finally one mass because of the threat.

If this happens, no matter what each person's thoughts may be, the policy will not be bent.

Preparations for the departure of the north were progressing steadily. Soldiers, supplies, supply routes. The giant creature of the state is only sharpening for the overwhelming purpose of others.

I no longer had to ask who was at the tip of it.

"Luggis... Luggis!

Caria's call returned to me. It seems that she slept for a few seconds because she could barely rest here every day.

I thought it was familiar with lack of sleep, but I didn't think turning the army was such a hard task.

No, I think Phyllos was working for me in the dark.

"It's good to be stunned in a place like this. It wasn't the stage you dreamed of, was it?

"... what I yearned for was that the elite were knights. I never thought I'd be dragged out of here."

I answered Caria with a sarcastic expression, dropping her shoulders.

There were soldiers on the plains near King's Landing Archer.

Military pre deployment ceremony. Surrounded by tranquillity, the soldiers gave their sparing gaze to King's Landing.

They also gathered private soldiers of cooperative nobility and reinforcements from other countries, including Gaza, for 28,000 soldiers. I'm sending them to the dead line.

If they ask me if I'm ready, I guess I'll have to.

A group of dignitaries from all over the world, including Queen Phyllos, Virgin Matthia, and Eldis, are showing their faces toward the soldiers. He knew just how much power was being poured into them.

I'm in that line, too. I didn't know whether to think it was an honor or if it was unsuitable for me.

The queen raised her voice against them.

─ This is jihad. You must fight for yourselves and tomorrow!

Words tremble the soldiers. Every time someone raised their voice, I saw tensions in the soldiers.

Carlia tells her to keep talking.

"Say what. You dreamed of it, you made it. Gather mankind together to confront magic. That's what you said."

"I told you. But it's quite different from what I think it is in front of me. You can do too much for me, and I'm getting scared."

"You idiot. Are you satisfied with this? I can't do it for you."

"Oh, come on, it's too hard."

As she watched Caria sharpen her lips with dissatisfaction, she shook her neck sideways.

From the adventurer who was cleaning the ditch to this. Isn't that enough?

Nevertheless, this is her courage towards me. Speaking of which, he said. It seemed to be straightforward, and it was a woman named Caria who wasn't honest anywhere.

Suddenly, Phyllos called my name.

Inspire them in front of the soldiers. It is no longer customary for a general to say such words to soldiers. I didn't expect you to be a marshal or anything.

"Rugis, you know, the Garrisons are very high. Some aristocrats and their private soldiers will think you were created. Don't let them bite you."

"Don't worry. I'm a garrison, just like you. I know what you're doing."

Caria nodded strongly with a satisfied expression. Would it have been that much to agree with?

But Carlia is right about the Garrisons. There is a deep-rooted sense that they are descendants of the Ultimate Unity Empire.

Some of the poor and the general public will have such ideas and knowledge. It would be premature to be a nobleman or his associate.

I can't help it. The Garrison Kingdom is still a zero-rated nation, although it still has influence within the continent.

Many believe that they did not succeed the united empire.

So sometimes I say this to comfort my self-esteem.

- One way or another, reunification.

Even if you think it's a dream story, you can't help but forget it.

He stood on the high ground and looked down at the soldiers.

Tens of thousands of eyes were staring at me. I feel strange. I must have heard the words of Queen Phyllos and the nobles on their side.

Now, for some reason, I'm on this side.

I opened my mouth.

◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

"We have done very little since this catastrophe began. He was attacked, he was taken back, and when he was attacked, he was taken back. That's all. Magic is still treading while laughing at mankind. A lot of land has been taken from them, and the loss of land has not recovered."

Marshal - Lugis's words began with one word.

The Queen, the Virgin. Perhaps the Marshal will say the same thing because he told us about the battle.

The captains and soldiers who were looking like that felt like they had a moment of shoulder waterfall.

And it was unexpected. The Queen praises the recapture of King Alchet and the recapture of the capital of Volvato as the honor of no one, Lugis.

It was strange for him to underestimate honor, even if he was a nobleman.

The marshal continued his words without the wind worrying about the soldiers. Because of the heat, it seemed that only he was embossed from the landscape. It's as if you're not even human.

"--Until now, until now!

Lugis stares at the soldiers with a stronger tone. The soldiers felt their eyes open.

"For the first time, we are entering the enchanted occupied territories! We must make them pay for what they have taken and destroy the earth without trace! Listen, what did they do!

I didn't have to ask.

Magic produced all sorts of tragedies, killing parents, friends and neighbors. The house burned down, the woman raped. Humans were sometimes food animals and toys to be played with.

That's right. Until now, I have managed to recover the king's capital and the capital. I have never entered a village, many cities, or territory where magic originally resides.

Humanity remains subdued. Soldiers chewed their teeth without knowing. I don't know why that is.

"If I'm still asking for dignity, I have to fight! For the first time ever, man has earned dignity and honor!

What does that mean? What does it mean?

What we don't know is that we don't look to the Garrisons, or people across the continent.

"- Let's hear it. We're still counting on the Empire. You just live with the glory of the past!

Unknowingly, the soldiers' throats rang.

My voice resounds. Words vary. Some people don't speak the right tone at all.

But it means the same thing.

There's no way. That's what we say is still great.

Rugis pulled her cheek and said.

"That's right. From now on, we will be the finest soldiers in history. Even a thousand years away, our history will be told. Unborn nations, unknown words! Glory is not in the past, it is only ahead of us!

Responding, the soldiers raised their arms and answered the marshal. Nobody but Lugis was watching. He also saw only soldiers. Only enthusiasm lives in those eyes.

Sometimes the book takes this incident and tells him that Rugis was a marshal but spoke like a front-line commander.

That would be true. Rugis was a front-line commander from beginning to end. He was always with the soldiers.

That's why he told us when he spoke.

That's what happens when you know you're taking soldiers to hell.

Twenty-eight thousand soldiers will march north. Fort Medraut in the North. Then head towards the Oran plains to intercept the Great Devil Zebrelilith.
