Six months have passed since Harren-Kennock was entrusted with Malware.

It was also just six months ago that he was appointed General Fifth Dragon Scale Wing.

(Six months ago......)

He meditates and thinks.

Those days when El-Abel-Bunel, his best friend and like-minded companion, was breathing when he took his last bet. Even though he was no longer young, he was drunk on the ideals of the revolution, waving a blue odor, and he was embarrassed. but it was serious at the time. That is indisputable. He was seriously trying to defeat Mirelbas-Ryburn and bring Zalwarn back into the hands of the Pendragon clan. Millerbus' talented supremacy was unacceptable to the pedigree Pendragon clan, and Harren, a division of the Burnell family, also learned to rebel against the way Millerbus did.

Mirelbus had denied control by blood muscles and had broken off reforms by strength and talent. Regardless, the Pendragons are not being scorned. Even talent was applied and reused as long as it was capable. However, in view of Zalwarn's history, it was impossible for anyone other than the Pendragons to hold a key position. Having received the reform of Mirelbus as a challenge to history and tradition, El Abel recruited comrades and awaited opportunities for rebellion.

Harren endorsed El Abel's idea because he was in a position because he was a Kennock person, and because of the fear that if the reform of Mirelbus proceeded, all vested interests must be lost. In fact, you're right. The position that should have been consolidated by the children of the Pendragon clan, be it the winged generals of the Dragon Scale Army or the heavenly generals of the Dragon Tooth Army, was replaced by the unknown horsebones of every house. Eventually, the Kennocks will be deprived of their power, and Harren's defiance of the Mirelbus regime was a natural flow.

But his defiance disappears too quickly.

I've been appointed Wing General.

Malwal's defense as the Fifth Dragon Scale Army wingman forced him to change his mind. It turns out that Mirell Bus uses even obviously hostile people heavily, depending on their talent. Harren did not hide his hostility even in front of Mirelbus, and that was his implicit understanding with his comrades. Sooner or later, we'll drag Mirell Bus off the throne of the king. You don't have to hide your enemies. Among comrades, such a silly idea had passed.

Harren wondered if it was a trap when he was interviewed for Wing General's inauguration. There was no way a man like himself could have been chosen as a wingman but to raze over his own blood muscles and wield power. But what chose him as Wing General was that Mirelbas was the beloved military teacher Nares-Ragnahorn, and that, according to Nares, it was none other than Harren who led the Fifth Dragon Scale Army.

Harren was delighted that the military teacher had put him on board, but eventually decided to take on the Wing General's appointment. To El Abel, if he became Wing General and mastered the Fifth Dragon Scale Army, he should be a force for the anti-Mirelbas, but he just mocked Harren. To El Abel, you must have thought that Harren had changed his mind.

Still, Harren supported El Abel and continued to support him shady. He's my best friend who's been having a rough time for years. Because he was there, Harren could be the center of the Kennocks, and he could sing raw. That's why I didn't mean to tell you. I meant it. To master the Dragon Scale Army and prepare for the upcoming rebellion. but a friend died before he took control of the Fifth Dragon Scale Army.

El Abel died about three months ago.

He challenged the country itself, Zalwarn, to fight and vanish into the fires. After his death, Zalwarn's internal affairs were so rough that he could no longer afford to devote his strength to the outing, but it did not seem to Harren like the scar left by the curse of El Abel. It even seems that his death was responsible for the activation of the anti-Mirelbas faction.

I don't know the truth, but I'm pretty sure the absence of a mentor stopped the teeth from working. It is new to my memory that small battles were frequent and Gray-Balzerg's troops were running around all over Zalwarn.

It is only natural for Harren to become distant from the anti-Mirelbas. It is also significant that he has become busily killed by his work as a wing general, but he was detained by anti-Mirelbas because there was El Abel there. El Abel died and Harren became immersed in reality by trying to wake him from his dreams. And I also began to wonder if the Mirelbus administration was not bad either.

Some seem to slap his pussy when he's a schizophrenic, but he doesn't even care.

To perform his duties as Wing General and to connect him to the future of the Kennock family.

That was all he had in his head.

That's right, information popped in about the invasion of Zalwarn by the Gandia army. Malwale, where the Fifth Dragon Scale Army is stationed, is a northern city, even in Zalwarn. I don't think we can launch an immediate attack, but it was also true that we had to be prepared for something. He, along with his men, prepared for war.

Apparently, the Gandhian army was based in Nagrasia. I suppose we would cut Zalwarn's territory from Nagrasia, but there was a question, for example, whether we would stretch our forefingers all the way to Malware.

Closer to the Gandia border are four cities on the south side from central Zalwarn. Thruke, Zeol, Bahandar and Nagrasia. Sumaada is also on the south side, but there is not much flavor in dropping this city bordering the border between Gibelle and Berel.

Of the four cities, Nagrasia is the first to be suppressed and made a bridgehead of the Zalwarn invasion. Not Bahandar, nor a simultaneous offensive with Bahandar, must have feared the legend that Bahandar was a city in difficulty. And that would be the right answer. Zalwarn's interception posture, or offensive posture, may be in order while Bahandar's offense is under way. Harren said it was a good way to electrocute Nagrasia, and it was a done thing.

There are several routes of march from Nagrasia. Northbound, northbound route for Thruke and Malware. northwest and the path towards Zeol. route west, targeting Bahandar, or Reuben in the northwest. If we just cut the territory out of Zalwarn, we wouldn't be targeting Malware or Reuben. Drop somewhat around the south zeol or throok and cut it up - the conclusion Harren and his men have drawn is to that extent. I had no idea that Gandia had invaded with the intention of seriously defeating Zalwarn.

Cut off territory, take away national power, and eventually swallow it. That's smarter, and more certainty. It's too dangerous to bet against all of Zalwarn from the start.

but the information popping in after the day was like mocking the thoughts of the Harrens, and it seemed like a terminal indication of the way the Gandian army thought.

On the thirteenth, an army of Gandhian troops left Nagrasia and headed west.

On the 14th, there is no way for the troops moving west to go to Zeol. I'm aiming for Bahandar or Reuben.

On the fifteenth, Gandia's hindsight split in two directions from Nagrasia. One for Zeol and one for Thruke.

On the sixteenth, the army headed for the Slook side, bare through the Slook and towards Malware.

On the seventeenth day, enemy forces were discovered in the south of Malware. Looks like we'll reach Malwale in a day or two...

Targeting cities in northern Zalwarne, far from Gandhian territory, only means that Gandhia is willing to take control of all of Zalwarne. Because it is very unlikely that it will control the western part of Zalwarn with Bahandar and the northern part with Malwal, and that alone will end. The stretched territory is also likely to be recaptured. For example, Gandhia would also intend to put the wider area surrounding Malware under control, in which case it can only think of two avenues: reaching for the former Merisol territory or declaring control of all of Zalwarn by swallowing the Dragon House. Getting your hands on old Merisol territory means turning the Grey army against the enemy, not the way to go. or so, the dragon palace won't be easy to drop.

"Before we do, let's hope this place doesn't get attacked"

It has been said, for example, that an old man named Ayes-Cathern. The old gentleman, who accumulated plenty of white-dyed jaw, was Harren's predecessor and now had nothing to do with the Fifth Dragon Scale Army. Harren is putting him on his side because he stepped on that knowledge and connections from his time as Wing General of Ace would help Harren in his work as the new Wing General. In fact, with his advice, he is doing well with the soldiers of the Dragon Scale Army, and he has a good relationship with one of the Malways.

"The enemy forces have already set up a formation. You'll be sure to see it coming."

Reports of enemy forces forming on the southern hills came in just now. Harren is giving orders to place the archers on the wall immediately so that they can close the door at any time.

Malware itself was in a state of siege, and the evacuation of its citizens was over. Whenever the battle begins, yes. Unless they break through the walls, there's no harm done to the citizens.

"Damn, that's a nasty story. As far as I'm concerned, I want to make peace."

"There's nothing more to shake than to pay for the firepowder."

"I know, can you win? The enemy is roughly three thousand. There are three times as many of them."

"I don't know if I can win, but all I have to do is fight an unbeatable battle"

As Harren put it, Ace blunted his eyes under his long brow.

"Hmm..."

"Fortunately, the walls of Malwales are thick and the gates are not easily torn. It would be easy to earn days."

Which means we cage. Strike out of Malwale and even if you hit it decently, the winning eye is thin. In a thousand to three thousand, there is no other way. I want some fighting power.

Harren is issuing a reinforcement request to the Dragon House when it becomes clear that the Gandhian army intends to attack Malware. Faster than a response came, the enemy came. Naturally. It was two days ago that the enemy's intentions were revealed. A reinforcement request issued by Harren would be enough to finally reach the Dragon House.

"Wait, will reinforcements come?

"I thought I'd come. Dragon House and you don't want to be dropped here."

"If you expect reinforcements from the Dragon Mansion, you have to carry them for at least five days."

"That's all I can afford."

Harren said, but he wasn't always confident.

If, for example, an armed summoner was deployed to the enemy, there might be no more confrontation here. Armed summoners are just vicious weapons. It takes superhuman power or an armed summoner to fight overwhelming firepower.

Zalwarn's armed summoners are being raised by a training agency called the Dinobot Cave, but their deployment to the front line has lagged behind, and I have only heard stories that several have left the Dragon House. And it would be unlikely that those armed summoners would be placed in Malware. If it were to be placed, there should have been a report in advance, and there was no such talk from Ryufu. It's not that Malware was abandoned, I guess it just didn't let him go to Malware as a result of anticipating Gandhia's strategy. It's nothing like resentment. Strategically, it's a fact that it's hard to imagine Gandhia going first for Malwales.

Gandia, ignoring common sense, has advanced the army.

It is in the heart of Malware that he is. With gates on all sides, the city is divided into four sections by a huge crossroads. Four sections, northwest, northeast, southwest and southeast, were built in the centre with a panoramic view of the city. Usually, it was his routine to work on the middle floor of that tower, but sometimes it was an emergency, caged in the conference room on the first floor. The first floor was chosen because priority was given to the speed with which information was communicated. On the middle floor, extra time must be spent ascending and descending stairs. And if you're in the heart of the city, you can reach it at the same distance from any direction.

Apart from him and Ace, there were a few troop leaders in the conference room who were nervous about the hunch of the war.

That's when I suddenly panicked outside the conference room.

"What?

Harren asked no one, but he didn't think there was a clear answer. The door to the conference room opens rampantly and soldiers jump in. I wonder how hasty he was, but it was Harren's conclusion that politeness and other things were unnecessary when reporting. Regardless, a minimum of courtesy is necessary, even in front of important information.

The soldier raised his voice without a coward as he caught the attention of the troop leaders.

"Report! A man chased by the Gandhian army and fled to the front of the castle gate to capture Gandhian dignitaries and more!

The soldier's report was something I wasn't sure I'd heard for once.

"What do you mean? Were you being chased by the Gandhian army? Did you capture Gandia's dignitaries?

I understand that the man who caught Gandhian dignitaries must have been chased by the Gandhian army and came to Malware, but I'm not sure what the situation is. The man is nothing, so how do we get Gandhia's dignitaries? Why have you come to Malware? To be honest, it must be a ploy by the Gandhian army. Manipulation to destroy Malware's robust defenses from the inside out. but.

"I'm not sure about that, either, but I want you to tell Lord Wing that Kyle-Hydra is here, together with..."

"Kyle-Hydra...... so!?

The moment he heard the name, Harren couldn't stop his face from turning pale. My whole body foams and my blood draws attention. Kyle-Hydra. That's a name I never thought I'd ever hear again. It was like an anti-Mirelbus cipher that worked only between him, El Abel, and the other one - the three of us - and only two people but Harren were supposed to be dead to find out about it.

"Do you know Lord Wing?

"Ah, oh. He's an old friend."

As Ace narrowed his eyes to see what was going on, Harren tried to pretend to be calm. I have palpitations, but they shouldn't be on my face. He waves the gaze of an astonishing Eis and commands the soldier.

"Pass it up. Be polite."

Meet me, I have to make sure.
