"I don't know what fate is like to march shoulder to shoulder with you."

That's how I've been laughing at it was Grad-Clyde. Logner's former knight now heads the army on the Gandia Logner side. The iconic crimson armor closely resembled the blue armor of Wayne Bersein-Teulos. I remember the blue armor being streamlined, but the red armor is slightly prickly.

Grad-Clyde. He's a magnificent man. The forged flesh may be proof that he stood on the battlefield for many years as a warrior, and the unparalleled temper also seems like the mindset of a constant battlefield. More like a samurai than a knight. But when I laughed, the look on the samurai's face seemed to go somewhere, making him a huge people-loving face.

So maybe Setuna wasn't afraid to be talked to.

"I really do"

Setsuna remembered some emotion.

A grad is a hostile thing where he was called the Red Knight. In the Battle of the Battle of the Fortress of Balsar, he was in the position of general of the enemy army, and Setuna fought in the midst of the madness of the first line. And even in the battle with Logner as the battlefield, Grad naturally stood by the Gandhian army as his enemy. but in neither battle had Setuna crossed the blades directly. Although Grad was not prominent in the battle on the Balsar Plains, he fought Cain-Vivre hard in the Logner battle. He fought monsters like Cain and survived. The strength could be inferred, something like that.

After the war, his position also changed. He was immediately greeted under her when Astal-Lanadies became General Right Eye. It seems that the title given to Grad is Commander of the First Army Regiment of the Gandia Army Logner. He is a general of an army, so to speak, and follows a thousand men.

"The general has told me. You told me you had Wayne's end."

"Exactly."

When I answered that, Setuna's heart didn't shake. I admit and accept that I killed him. I recognize the fact that I stepped through his life and picked the future. I don't need excuses, I don't need deception. I just killed him as a reality, so I didn't need any more words.

"He has known since he was a child. A child who dreamed of becoming a knight could be fulfilled as a knight. It would be my hope."

Grad noticed this one, or he's been saying that, but Setuna didn't say anything.

I wanted to scream that it couldn't be the main hope, but I enjoyed it. The words he spinned during Wayne's death should have been a sign that he was trying to survive. He was not willing to die. I didn't want to die. Still, I had to die. For Setuna to live, for Gandhia to win, he had to die there.

Down the street.

The streets stretching north from Myram, the main city in the Logner region, lead to the heavens and earth of Zalwarn. Naturally, Setuna and Grad are not the only two to take even that long street. In the first place, Setsuna can't even ride a horse by herself. I had just started training for horseback riding and needed more training to be able to ride it. It's also difficult to twist that time, but that's another story.

Ruufa Zenon-Bargazar, vice president of Lion's Tail, manipulates Setuna's riding horse. It was a combat outfit, but I'm not wearing armor. He didn't need protective equipment. Setuna had been rocked by horses trying to cling to Ruufa's hips. What an outfit, but it must have been better than hugging Faria and moving.

At first, he was about to be put on a manipulative horse by Faria. It's a mystery that Faria and the soldiers around her stood up to Ruufa, although it was a mystery. I was supposed to be able to get you on Ruufa's horse because Setsuna told me that if I were to hug Faria enough, I would go on foot.

Faria must have been joking too. There was nothing to upset her otherwise, making her horse walk alongside Ruufa's horse.

That's where Grad called out.

He was accompanied because he was to board Zalwarn with the First Regiment led by Grad.

The story goes back to the day before.

"It will take at least four days for the forces within Gandhia to gather in Myram. Whatever it is, it was hands-on. We need to look at it for another couple of days. The arrival of reinforcements from Lucion and Myon would then take a day or two. It will take roughly ten days for all forces to assemble."

On the seat of the meeting, Setsuna was concentrating on tapping into her head the words Leongando would say. I knew I wasn't smart enough, and I knew I was just going to break down trying to force myself to understand. You can leave that kind of small difficulty to the deputy captain or assistant captain. It was easy in that sense, but I can't be optimistic.

September 6. Daytime temperatures were still high, and it was not an exaggeration when it came to midsummer. Naturally, this is not Japan, but it has a very similar climate. That's one of the things Setuna appreciates about life. Living in a completely different climate would take time to get used to. Even that kind of time is a waste.

Summarizing Leongand's story, it will be around September 13th that all the armies gather in Myram - that is the word of Faria, who was right next door. Faria seems to be watching as it takes a few days to invade Zalwarn from there until after twenty days to develop into a full-scale war. The breath I take when I punch my ear is slight and dull.

"Again, it takes time"

"Naturally. It's an unscheduled situation."

Leongand had a rugged face. Setuna had hardly ever seen him look like that before. That said, Setsuna doesn't always look at Leongand's face either. I don't even have enough liver on my stomach to look directly at my lord's face.

In one of the rooms of the Palace of Myram, starting with Leongand and its sides, the generals and the commanders of the legions face each other, and Setuna and the Lion's Tail cannot but think narrowly of their shoulders. In the first place, the new Royal SS and Regular Army, if not formed, rarely stayed together. In the meantime, many of the military men packing on this occasion are former Logner generals and can even be considered a very difficult space for Setsuna. Most of all, they're military, too. I don't even think I can do anything far-fetched in front of General Astar-Lanadys.

Next to General Astar, there was Grad-Clyde, but there was nothing like him coming out of hostility toward Setuna either. He said he was the one who killed Wayne, who could be his partner.

(I wonder if this is the military)

Perhaps so. It is the way of life of one whose business is to fight on the battlefield that does not bring resentment to the battlefield on a daily basis. But to humans who are not military, it is an incomprehensible way of life, and Elenia-Diphone, for example, did not even try to hide his intention to kill Setuna. That doesn't make it disqualifying and laughing at military personnel. I also find her hatred painfully obvious. No, I don't actually know, but I can understand.

"Zalwarn must think this one is still ahead of him in getting information on the Nahless captivity. You can't even know the secrets of the Lerga brothers. temporal respite is granted"

Setuna doesn't know what the secret of the Lerga brothers is. But it seems certain that it worked in Gandia's favor. Only reports of Keith's death ordered Leongand to assemble the entire army. I wonder what it is. There's something I can't even imagine in Setsuna.

"but by the time all the troops gather in Myram, this move will also be conveyed"

"Zalwarn is at the end of his eyes and nose."

Zephyr stroked his moustache. I guess it's his habit when he takes it seriously. Setuna watched him touch his moustache several times during this meeting.

"Let's take a good look at this one too. But that's the same here. I'm making Zalwarn look for trends, but so far I don't see any significant changes."

"When I captured Master Nares, there's no way I can change policy immediately...... Nevertheless, that won't be a lot of time to buy either"

"Right... like five days?

"And by then, this movement will have reached Zalwarn as well."

Barrett glanced at the map spread out on the table. The map was the first to marvel at the size of Zalwarn, although Setuna had also seen it many times. I think I've figured out how adding to Gandhia's and Logner's wars can make a big difference. The territory of Zalwarne covered more than three times the area of the former Logner territory.

"What forces can we mobilize within five days?

"The First and Fourth Regiments, which have arrived in Myram, are available for dispatch at any time. The Second Corps of Recondahl will arrive in Myram tomorrow. Third Corps is due to arrive in two days."

"Hmm..."

Leongand listened to Astar's report and became an imaginary face. The table not only has a map of the entire continent, but also a map with a clear picture of the area around Gandhia. Looking at you, we found out the location of major cities such as Gandia, Logner and Zalwarn.

The first thing you will notice is the Dragon House, the capital of Zalwarn. Five fortifications were located around the city, located slightly north of the centre of the Zalwarn territory. Beaunel, Ryburn, Revien, Fabruneia, Vlidia - Breaking through the defensive net by the fort involving the names of the Five Dragons didn't seem easy from the amateur Setuna.

Leongand placed the wooden pawn at hand in Nagrasia, south of Zalwarn. From Myram it is a city located in the northeast, and on the map, it looks like a breeze as soon as it crosses the border.

"Electrically storm and suppress Nagrasia as a stepping stone to the Zalwarn offensive"

"Now let's inspire Zalwarn"

Astar reacted to Leongand's declaration. Other officers look reluctant at once.

"Regardless, Nagrasian domination also means nailing the eyes of enemies"

"Without follow-up, we would be isolated among our enemies."

"Of course, the Second and Third Regiments will let us leave for Nagrasia as soon as we arrive"

The Second Corps will arrive tomorrow, the Third Corps will arrive in this Myram the day after tomorrow, but it will not be able to leave at the same time as it arrives.

Astar's eyes glowed dull.

"I see... you mean this is where we show off"

"I hear Logner's soldiers are strong. Can I expect that?

I'll take care of it.

Astar laughed invincibly at Leongand's challenging words, perhaps because it was where she wanted to be too. General Flying of Logner, though taken in by Gandia, doesn't look like he's losing that brilliance.

"So how is the formation"

"Logner side Army First and Fourth Regiments and... Setuna"

"Yes!"

Tensions ran across Setuna's body as Leongand called her name. The tension may have contaminated Faria and Ruufa as well. Behind me, I was a little bumpy.

Leongand's eyes were sharp and even Setsuna seemed to shoot through.

"It's your job to cut ahead of us."

And the next morning, September 7th, the Royal SS, "The Lion's Tail" and the Gandhian army, the First Regiment of the Army, the Fourth Regiment, left Myram.
