It was less than twenty-two days before the western march arrived in the distance where they wanted Fort Beaunel.

Though it was a march across the break, we were able to reach our destination as planned because there has been no obstruction from the Zalwarn side since the battle with the Milius. Is it because Zalwarn doesn't have enough power, or because he's confident in the defense of the Pentagon? After winning the battle against the Milius, the Westward Army was able to cross the battleground meadow without incident.

Even horseback riding took half a day to get away, although he said he had set up where he wanted Fort Beaunel. Even if there's some movement in Fort Beaunel, it's as far as we can handle it adequately. Though we let the troops lurk in the woods stretching south of Fort Beaunel, there's no way the Zalwarn army has any idea what's going on here. Fort Beaunel must have already been in contact with the other fortifications of the Pentagon, and will be preparing reinforcements.

Nevertheless, only Fort Ryburn, northwest of Ryufu, and Ryufu can send reinforcements to Fort Bunell. Fort Vridia, southeast of Bünell, should be being pursued by now in response to the Central Army's approach. And it is no exaggeration to say that the north march should be approaching Fort Fabruneia and that the formation of the Dragon House siege is beginning to be in order.

"Siege mesh full of holes..."

"Gandia's strategy itself is full of holes."

Spilling a grin on Dorka's chill, Ein watched what lay ahead of the darkness as it dawned. It is unknown, and yet cloudy, that his vision does not confirm that Fort Beaunel does exist far ahead. There is no mistake in reporting from scouts. As far as the map is concerned, it's just north of the woods lined up by western marches that Fort Bühnell stands.

The map was obtained from the Dragontooth Army soldiers who were following the Milius, and is more accurately depicted than the map prepared by Ein. The wetland areas around Bahandar are carefully remembered, perhaps because of the lessons learned by the Zarwayne army with a great deal of blood shed, and perhaps because of the resentment of those scattered in the wetlands. To make you think so, the depiction of the wetland zone is fine, even the subtle distortions of the streets running north and south of Bahandar, are precisely depicted.

It's not just around Fort Beaunel, it's a map with all of Zalwarn territory. If I had gotten it before I left Myram, I wouldn't have wondered if I could have worked out a more decent strategy. Most importantly, the strategy Ain't going to be adopted up there. Ein's measures are adopted because Astal-Lanadys is the western army in command. That Ein is a favorite of General Right Eye and that it is the Logner side of the army that makes up the westward march. As a result of such elements meshing well, Ein is allowed to behave like a military teacher. Normally, I wouldn't try to give the Legion Leader that much authority. Is Astar sweet about Ein, or does the Logner side army itself have some expectation of Ein?

There will be both.

He admitted coldly as he turned his heel back and headed to the curtain in the woods. Ein uses the expectations and sweetness that are directed at her. If you don't, you can't have a sixteen-year-old on the stage. No, it doesn't mean he wants to be on the surface stage. But to fulfill Ayn's own wishes, that has to happen. You have to improve and be appreciated. Otherwise, we cannot let his selfishness pass.

Most of all, since Nagrasia, Ein's hopes have continued to come true, along with more happiness than ever before.

"Oh, can I say something like that about a corps leader who will be asked to look forward to the future?

"If anyone asks, it might not be a good idea."

Earlier statements were the very criticism of King Gandhia and his army for plotting the Zalwarn invasion. If I had one around, I would have returned another word. But there was only one Dorka around. He didn't even have a deputy. It's not like Ein wanted that either. And it doesn't mean he distracted me, either. I'm just talking about giving Nina-Sentol a break. But it was also true that I was able to be honest thanks to it. It's not like Nina's not around him.

I was relaxed.

"I was listening."

"I don't think Mr. Dorka would fall for me."

As Ain peered sideways at Dorka's face, he had a somewhat distraught look on his face.

Oh, my God.

"What is it?

"You were so trusted, me"

"Yes."

Immediately, once again, he looked like he was in trouble, but Ein didn't say anything in particular. I have not been particularly close to Dorka. The Logner era also had very different positions. Ein had been elected to the SS of General Flying and had not even had the opportunity to exchange words with the platoon leader, Dorka.

Ein found out about him after a conspiracy by Astar. Among the talents gathered at Astar, who worried about Logner's situation and rebelled against the king, was the name Dorka-Form. Most importantly, Astar had an early eye on Dorka's prowess, and he was looking to improve his position after Logner's reform. but the reform of Logner did not materialize and came to the conclusion that it would be subdued by Gandia.

And Ayn, promoted to Legion Leader of the Army on the Logner side, met Dorka, who was also appointed Legion Leader, from which he learned to be one of him.

I immediately thought he was credible enough, partly because he earned Astar's trust, but naturally that's not all. He has gained a lot of confidence from the Legionnaires in less than February, even though he was promoted from an anonymous platoon captain to the Legionnaire of the Fourth Legion. If you look at the look on the faces of the legions surrounding him, you can see how admired he is.

Unlike Grad-Clyde, who made his name as the Red Knight, and Reno-Gilberth and Ein of the Gilberth family, he must have built relationships with his men from scratch, unlike the well-known ones from the time of the Logner. Regardless, the only way to obey any superior officer, beyond being assigned to an army, is if he is a defensive soldier.

"Well, one thing, can I ask you something?

"Fine... is there something you care about?

"Oh, it's not a big deal. About Miliu-Lebaen."

"Well, then we discussed it."

Ain stopped her legs and dived in her voice. If we go a little further, we'll be stepping into the western march position. Naturally, some soldiers will be on sentry. Ein decided that it might be something they could ask.

Nothing must be treated more carefully than the topic of the treatment of Miliu-Libaien. She was an enemy who fought a few days ago as an armed summoner for Zalwarn and was a prisoner of the western march due to Setuna's activism. There's nothing wrong with that. However, as a result of negotiations with her, she was to be placed under the control of The Lion's Tail.

She herself has preferred to be under the watchful eye of Setuna rather than "The Lion's Tail," but she just couldn't put a strain on one Setuna. Ain't the only idea that I don't want Setuna bothering me with anything other than combat. King Leongand thought so, and must have entrusted Phalia with the assistant captain, the unusual composition of the captain, assistant captain and deputy captain was also considered a measure to ease the burden on him. In fact, it is the deputy captain and assistant captain who receive the affairs and chores of "The Lion's Tail", and Setuna, the captain, says he works day and night training.

Though under the watchful eye of such Setuna, there is no doubt that the soldiers of the western march have complex emotions against Miliu, who gained some freedom.

Especially with the soldiers under Ein. In the battle ahead, Miliu, lured by Ein's measures, has slaughtered several of Ein's men. There were not many things that were unforgivable. Not everyone can break it off as war.

Ein, at the moment the battle is over, such emotions can be thrown away. Otherwise, Ain't never had anything like adhering to Setuna. Perhaps it was because I fell in love with the man who was going to kill my countrymen. With that in mind, after all, all the beginnings go to Setuna.

"Hi, I care about you. Miliu, I wonder what happened with Lord Camille."

"Is there?"

Ein stumbled out as she grabbed the branch that was hanging in front of her. Dorka's concern would mean that Miliu has an unusual until unusual interest in Setuna. Perhaps you can call it obsession. I remember her saying that if she was going to spy on herself, she wouldn't like it if it wasn't Setuna.

Ein can't even imagine why he's so obsessed with Setuna. Ein's thoughts on Setuna are the same thing no one else understands. There's no way you can truly understand the emotions and moods of others. Still, Ein wants to understand Setuna's feelings. Trouble.

Miliu fought directly against Setuna and is one of the few who survived. Setuna didn't kill her only because she lost her mind and didn't have to. but because she lost consciousness, Setuna said she was able to survive. Setsuna was pushed down by Miliu, who had a replica of the black spear, and apparently was about to be killed. I don't think so, but I guess it's true what he says.

"That's the only place, isn't it? Doesn't the Ayn Legion Commander care?

"I'm curious."

"Right?

"Well, I just cared, and it's nothing to do with it."

"That's the same thing."

Looking sideways at Dorka, who looked at things like inadmissibility, Ain't wondered if he should care more about Miliu's relationship with Faria than Miliu's. Though Faria holds the reins, they are both powerful armed summoners. It's not necessarily that the quarrel over Setuna doesn't develop into battle. In that case, it is visible that even Setuna will be untouchable.

(… and don't you have it)

When Ain shook his head, he resumed his return to his own ranks.
