The Nagrasian recapture operation ended in great failure, but this is not bad for his extraction, he told himself. Actually, I think you're right. He has only fulfilled the orders of the wing-general Cy-Kisher, who hits his immediate superior. Based on information that Nagrasia's defenses are weak brought about by Cy's intelligence network, this is an operation that Cy has devised and activated. Though it was Gary who picked out the personnel for the recapture unit, that's because Gary knows every soldier better, and that's where Cy admits it too.

Gary chose the best of the Fourth Dragon Scale Army to recapture Nagrasia. Of course, five hundred out of a thousand are not what he calls elite. If half of them are elite, the Fourth Dragon Scale Army's power will overwhelm the other Dragon Scale armies. Of course, that's fine, but the fact is, there can't be five hundred of them.

The recapture unit is made up of hundreds of elites and two hundred fierce men, two hundred brave men, and Gary is content with a troop configuration as sharpened as that work of art. But there was anxiety. Is Nagrasia really less defensive? Is it an operation worth enough to crack Smada's defensive power? Regardless, if Nagrasia can be recaptured, it will be painful for the Gandian army and an incentive for Zalwarn to create a good opportunity. There was also a great chance that it would be a blow that could overshadow the unfavourable situation for Zalwarn. So rhinos must have stubbornly focused on Nagrasia's recapture. As far as he was concerned, he probably wanted to pave the way for the future by becoming a useful actor in Zalwarn's reversal. He was not the kind of person who would fit in with local city wing generals, and he was a person who would not normally be able to publicly say that.

But the Nagrasian defensive forces outnumbered the recapture forces, which by their overwhelming offensive power instantly drove the recapture troops to a state of devastation.

As far as Gary had heard reports from the troop leader, the number of recapture units that should have had five hundred was down to no more than three hundred. Less than half of it may have been luck during misfortune, but it's not a happy outcome at all. At the time of Nagrasia's entry, all that high morale has now turned out to be unbroken. If you look at the faces of every soldier, you'll see. Everyone had a dead look on their face. I had an unimaginable interception.

Everyone was sure of the victory. There may have been alarm. But that was the only thing that ever happened. The small number of soldiers deployed by the Gandhian army in Nagrasia at the gate was instrumental in misleading them into believing that the information they had obtained beforehand was definitive. Most of all, many of the soldiers would not have questioned the judgment of the rhinos, and there is a verse that envisioned this recapture operation as a success. I guess they who profess rhinos don't even have the idea of being suspicious of rhinos' information networks.

Gary is different in that respect.

but so, what is it?

At a time when I couldn't resist Cy's orders, Gary is just like them. Of course, Gary is a deputy general and cannot disobey the wing general's orders. If it is decided, we have to obey. But if the rhinos had devised a recapture operation, they might still have managed. If we pursued his information network, we might have found something.

(Everything is too late......!

Gary almost lost me in anger at himself. This could have been prevented if Gary had paid more attention to rhinos and watched them behave. It may have all happened because he hated rhinos and underestimated all of their words and deeds.

He hastened his way back to Sumaada when he encouraged his men full of grief. None of us have the possibility that the Gandhian forces in Nagrasia will be pointing their pursuit troops at us. Though priority will be given to Nagrasia's defense, this one is just less than three hundred troops. I don't know how much Nagrasia's defensive force is, but just pointing at some of it is likely to destroy this one.

But they ended up worried.

When I gave the object a glimpse of the rear, instead of encountering the pursuit unit, there was not even any sign that the Gandhian army of Nagrasia would move.

Gary and the others had been able to get a real sense that they had finally made it back to life in relief. The memory of the storm of arrows that killed nearly two hundred of my people was strong enough to revive behind my eyelids if I closed my eyes. The Gandhian army in Nagrasia would have prepared a large number of arrows, and would have arranged a number of archers. Even the ones who weren't good at handling bows might have let the arrows go. Anyway, all you have to do is shoot at the enemy. That much momentum was in that storm of arrows.

It was a complete defeat.

For the recapture unit to win, first, the storm of arrows had to be stopped, and to do so, archers had to be defeated. The archer's location is uncertain. It must have been cleverly positioned in a place that was difficult to find from the Garys who placed it in South Gate Square. There was definitely an enemy on the walls, a group of buildings downtown, a shadow of a square tree, etc., that followed the arrows. But what happened to what tried to get close was as Gary witnessed. All around, arrows flying from nowhere refused even a single breakthrough in the recapture unit.

The slower Gary's withdrawal order would have been, the more damage the recapture unit would have done. It must have been over for about two hundred people, and it was rather a shame that they had made all that sacrifice.

I also have a hard time telling you that.

Wouldn't this have happened if I had taken more careful command? All the regrets swirled and made Gary's thoughts dark. What would Cy-Kisher think if we went back to Smada like this? Will you be furious that you have fled back without any fruit? Or would you be happy to be back alive? No, before that, I might slip back on the defeat caused by false alarm brought about by my trusted information network. That was a sight to behold, but not a laughable situation.

As a result, the Fourth Dragon Scale Army has lost its important fighting power.

and Gary looked up to the rush forward. Sounds like he was leaning over at some point. That's what happens when you think about the cause of defeat and the future. but now is not the time to turn your consciousness to it. Sewing among the soldiers moving forward, the cavalry rushes over.

"Master Gary! Oh, my God!"

The fact that he was a soldier of the Fourth Dragon Scale Army was known for its characteristic green shoulders. The Fourth Dragon Scale Army was required to wear a green odd shoulder for all below the Wing General, which was the hallmark of the Fourth Dragon Scale Army. It was stipulated by the authority of the Wing General, and Gary also had green shoulders. Sometimes in this battle, I knew perfectly well that it was a substitute for being pierced by arrows, though I was going to protest if I returned to Smada.

The cavalry stopped the horse in front of Gary.

"What's up? What happened to Smada?

Gary asked quietly to disguise himself as calm, although he remembered a strange heartbeat about an encounter with a cavalry that he was not even supposed to meet here. Then the cavalry, changing blood phase, cried out.

"Smada fell!

"What?

For a moment, Gary couldn't understand what he was saying. The scream was too loud, not that. I guess the brain just refused to recognize the word. That's a ruinous word. equal to the Proclamation of Death.

"After Master Gary's departure, Gibbell's army attacked us! The rhinoceros' struggle is also vain...!

"Stupid!

The moment he heard the cavalry report, Gary was opening his eyes and screaming.

But when I thought calmly, I felt all Tsuji fit. Information brought about by Cy-Kisher's proud information network that Nagrasia's defenses are thin. A recapture operation based on that. But Gary and the others were greeted by a large crowd of enemies in Nagrasia, and fled like half-dead men. There it is, this report.

Gibbel.

It is a country located east of Zalwarn. His country, which does not conceal any hostility close to resentment towards Zalwarn, was once more aimed at the territory of this country. Rumors that we are supporting Gray-Barzelg, who has rebelled against Zalwarn and stood on the old Fort Melisol Territorial Gallon, must also be true. Gibbel can't wait to hear that Zalwarn hates and hates. He seemed satisfied with the fact that supporting Gray would put Zalwarn in trouble, but he must have finally moved on to cutting the territory without getting tired of it alone.

Zalwarn is now under Gandia's invasion, and it can be said that he is confused because of that response. Some of the cities fell, and quite a bit of fighting power scattered before the Gandian army. It wasn't Gibbel who missed the situation. Exactly a one-of-a-kind opportunity. Moreover, the city of Sumaada, southeast of Zalwarn, is largely off the path of Gandia's invasion, either because of its poor position. And Sumaada is also a city close to the border with Gibelle. If Gibelle were to invade, it would have been either old Merisol territory or Smada's. But that doesn't even make it a choice. While the Grey Army is alive, they will never reach out to the former Merisol. If you buy Gray's grudge, you don't know what kind of retaliation you'll get. Thinking about it, it was self-evident and even inevitable that Gibbel would target Smada.

If Zibel put some power into it, Smada would have fallen relatively easily. Even if Gary and the others were with the Fourth Dragon Scale Army and did the lion's speedy work, there's no way they could make an overwhelming difference in force. That makes sense.

But did Gibbel then think that there would be damage to his own army, or he has used more cunning means? I guess that's who Cy-Kisher's information network is. That I was trusted by that confident wing general shouldn't have been in relation to the last few days. No man is more confident than a rhino. And when you trust others as much as he does, no man is more discreet. Gary had to trust Cy's information network because he knew how hard it was for a person named Cy to believe something. Gary himself, it took a while for the rhinos to trust him.

Anyway, Zibel's operatives gained Cy's trust and spilled false news to him. That's the information that Nagrasia's defenses are at stake. I might even have whispered that if I were to recapture it, it would only be now. I don't even think a guy like a rhino moves at that level of language, but I'm talking about the possibility of that.

Rhinoceros trusted the information network too much. Failed to confirm, planned and forced a recapture operation. Gary organized the recapture unit as he ordered and headed for Nagrasia. As a result, it was defeated by brilliance. The defense was thick, and only five hundred people could hardly even reach the enemy formation. And nearly two hundred people died in battle, in vain. I didn't just fail to recapture it.

Even Smada's defense failed.

Gary yelled.
