"They say the war is over."

"Yeah, before you know it"

"Zalwarn is dead."

"Right, before you know it"

"Master Mirelbus is dead, too."

"Yes, before you know it"

I don't care if it's creepy. To the offering hammer, Byu-Golet took away the cloth that was covering his face and regained his sight. As the light of the demonic crystal lamp seemed oddly dazzling, the lack of decoration of the ceiling seemed to represent the character of the Lord in this room.

The cloth I grabbed in my hand would be what the lord of the room put on me when he rocked into a rocking chair and nearly fell asleep for extra comfort. Are you attentive, or do you not even think of your boss as your boss? Maybe it's both of them.

Rising from his rocking chair, he ignored and continued the conversation, although he witnessed the paperwork and death struggle the Lord of the room had spread to his desk.

"Oh, my God"

"It's like outside a mosquito net"

"It's not a joke."

Buwe told as he looked to the back of his deputy general, Basil-Seredo. Most importantly, Basil would not have made his gaze feel itchy.

Byu-Golet was a Zalwarn soldier and wingman of the Second Dragon Scale Army. Like many wing generals, he had also been appointed wing generals by the military reform of Mirelbas-Ryburn, even under oath of allegiance to the national lord Mirelbas. However, the Second Dragon Scale Army had been given the role of defending the city of Reuben on the western tip of Zalwarn, and the situation persisted that, even when the war against Gandia began, it could not move freely.

To the west of Zalwarn are two countries. It is Ishika and Meredo. In both countries, it was thought that he was not close to Zarwahn, especially that Meredo still had at his root the deprivation of Bahandar, and that he would eventually come to avenge Zarwahn.

Reuben, at the western end, may be described as the front line against those two countries, and that is why an elite corps was to be garrisoned among the dragon scale army called the Second Dragon Scale Army. Both Byu and Basil were honestly pleased with that assessment, but on second thought, I didn't think it would have happened that way, such as the war with Ishika, Meredo, or that it was a good bodily hassle.

In fact, there was a war with Gandhia.

From the beginning Zalwarn had the intention of going south. That is also quite clear, so much so that there are rumours that Abard, our northern neighbor, is not investing in defense near the border with Zalwarn.

If Zalwarn were to focus on the south, it would be a bad decision to come to war with Abad in the north, but that must have been the right answer. Abard's decision has also benefited Zalwarn. Because Zalwarn could have left Abard alone. It doesn't matter if we dilute our defenses in the north, which means that we can focus that much on the other side.

And it was five years ago that we turned our forces south. It was five years ago that I put down the logner and made it my country. Then it was painful as Zalwarn that the situation continued to be so unbearable to put his hands on Gandia. Five years ago, if we had been able to invade Gandhian territory by using the momentum we gave Logner, would we not have had Lucion, even Myon, in our hands?

He scratched out his delusions as he sighed. I can't help but think about meaningless assumptions and such. It is only natural that the conclusions drawn from what has happened in reality are more important.

"But well, isn't it good? We didn't have to bleed for nothing."

"Good stuff? Think about Gandhia in the future."

"Hmm... I'm going to have a narrow shoulder feeling"

"You bet. You bet."

It is still in the future that Byu thinks with satisfaction that Basil has agreed. I can't help what's happened. The war ended in his unknowns, the lord died in his unknowns, and the country died in his unknowns. That's all I can do, I hope. There's no way we can turn the clock around, or change the reality.

As a matter of reality, Zalwarn was defeated by Gandia. At that time, Reuben was unable to move his troops, and he had no choice. Even if information had popped into Byu's ear that Ishika and Meredo had entered a state of war and could no longer afford to send troops to Zalwarn.

The moment we even moved half of the Second Dragon Scale Army, it was also possible that the wartime Ishika and Meredo pointed their spears at us. It couldn't have made any sense to keep rubbing at Reuben.

That is also the biggest reason for not joining the fighting between the Gandhian and Zalwarn armies waged near Reuben. If we move, we'll expose our neighbors to gaps. Reuben's defense is the greatest mission of the Second Dragon Scale Army. Of course, if there were orders from the military, the troop would not have been rushed.

It was visible that the Gandhian army would leave Reuben alone. If we drop Reuben, we need to divide our forces to maintain it. We have already divided our forces for the occupation of Bahandar. Any further decline in combat power should have been something we would have liked to avoid as a Gandian army as well. Besides, if you drop Reuben, you'll have to be aware of Ishika, Meredo, too. Neither could Gandia, who would want to concentrate on fighting Zalwarn, do anything extra, and Reuben remained calm.

However, as a result, Reuben's Second Dragon Scale Army floated in space.

Unexpectedly, the door of the room was banged forcefully. Is it also an emergency business, it sounded like I knocked on the door at my disposal anyway.

Basil, for a moment, pointed an annoying face at me, but I had no choice but to reply.

"Anything?"

"Report!"

The scream, full of urgency, even seemed like an anger.

"From the northeast direction, a group of Imperial Demons is on their way to Reuben!

Failing to understand the meaning of the words heard from across the door, Byu and Basil looked at each other.

"What is that number... what the hell is that all about? What's happening?"

Reuben's walls were reached, and Byu-Golet was stunned by the number of monsters in the northeastern meadows.

The starry sky and the vast moonlight of heaven are making the meadows float blue, but there were alien beings dyeing their blue meadows black, red, and pale. Neither is that the whole thing or two. Dozens or hundreds of diverse Imperial Demons are approaching this Reuben as herds.

Its controlled movements are normally not seen by the Imperial Devil. Moreover, it is difficult to imagine that the Imperial Devil would do it by his will, such as marching into a city surrounded by walls. Of course, not at all. Imperial demons attack humans, and raiding people is a common story. If you're surrounded by thick walls, you're just saying that you're extremely unlikely to be attacked by the Imperial Devil.

Nevertheless, the history of the continent proved that in a city without walls and surrounded by walls, the damage rate of the Imperial Demon is extraordinarily different. The biggest reason why few wallless cities exist was the existence of a natural enemy of mankind called the Imperial Demon.

"The Imperial Devil."

"I know that......! All units, evacuate the citizens immediately! Move to ensure the safety of our citizens as a top priority!

Left and right soldiers ran quickly as Buw shouted to exude frustration. Keeping the missionary soldier on hand at all times is what he learned from the Nares-Ragnahorn. Although Nares was a Gandhian operative, there is no difference in the fact that he is competent as a military teacher. You don't even have to throw away what you've learned from him because he was Zalwarn's enemy.

"We still have time to reach Reuben. Citizens will be evacuated in time."

"I know. But if you don't give the order, the military won't move."

"Is it? Well, anyway, what are we gonna do? Lord Wing."

Look at this one. Basil's eyes, they were cold. During Reuben's attempt to be a battlefield, his blood as a deputy general's warrior may be making a scene.

"You can't just give up Reuben. What, if you protect Reuben from all the Imperial Demons, you'll get a better reputation in Gandhia."

"So is that."

"If you can't, it's just about dying"

Basil chuckled happily, as Byu told him.

Maybe that's what warriors are for.
