"What do you think that is?

Salius Ray-Meredo stopped the horse's leg to wait for a response, asking whoever it was. Far ahead, the city is seen dyed red. It seems as though it's on fire, but the war between Zalwarn and Gandia should have ended.

According to the information he obtained, Gandia's victory over Zalwarn as a result of a showdown that took place two days ago should have been definite. By the time of the showdown, Gandia had most of Zalwarn territory in her hands, and from that point of view, it does not seem to spread the war any further. Even if Reuben showed a defiant attitude towards Gandia, there is an overwhelming difference in power. If we siege them with a few times as many troops as the Second Dragon Scale Army, Reuben will have to surrender.

"War fire... shall we?

I guess Shrel-Coder's troubled voice is because whoever sees it just seems so. Sure, it just seems like a war. Beyond the walls, the flames are rising.

He nodded quietly when he was satisfied that the dressed boy crossing the horse next door was looking at this one with a seductive eye, as usual.

"You're right... hey"

……

"Master Salius wonders that there is a war."

It was Vizen-Norn who heard his witty mouth against Shrell leaning down his neck. Beautifully dressed again, but unlike the knightly shrell, Vizen's appearance in the armor helmet of a woman also looked like that of a princess. Both were outfits that Salius immediately stood out for, and their appearance must have appeared on the battlefield. Most importantly, Shrell, Vizen, as long as I'm close to Salius, I'm not involved in battle.

"What do you mean?

"That's Reuben. Reuben is a city in Zalwarn, and it is imperative that Reuben also become Gandia's territory, beyond what Gandia has sent down Zalwarn. It's impossible for a city to fight the Gandhian army."

"Heh... Vizen knows things"

"Uh."

Shrell is honestly something to admire, so Vizen, who behaves wisely, also has no tension. Shrell's retarded mind may also be beautified by that kind of honesty. Vizen's little wit is also a beauty in front of Shrell.

Putting Shrell and Vizen aside is due in large part to the ear comfort of the two conversations. Salius' heart is constantly beating, but while Shrell and Vizen were doing the fool for me, I was able to regain some strange calm.

"Odd coins... maybe"

Salius began to think it might not have been a mistake to push out the army by pushing off Warzin-Mardin's opposition.

Meredo had the best opinion of Worgin that he should focus on fighting Ishika, but if he could pick up the odd coins, he would not have turned his army to Reuben in vain. I don't know about throwing out the main battlefield and going out from Wang Mizu, but the battle against the squid was adhesive and not in such a way as to change with or without Salius.

Either way, if the battle is going to end with pain sharing, we should just keep an eye on it. And we should do what we can for the next fight.

One of them is his proximity to Reuben, he thinks.

That's what I came up with the moment I heard the war between Gandhia and Zalwarn was over, but that was never supposed to be a bad idea. He turned his troops to Reuben, out of Gandhia's reach, and was going to drop them.

Of course, I'm not going to fight Gandhia with fine dust. If Reuben had shown an obedient attitude towards Gandhia, he would not have attacked and planned to pass.

The purpose of Salius is his proximity to Gandia. The Reuben attack was a souvenir of it and Reuben's suppression was not the aim. Even if he had attacked Reuben and the Second Dragon Scale Army had surrendered, he had no intention of putting Reuben under Meredo's control.

Thalius thinks more about the future than about the immediate benefits. Wouldn't it be easier to go north in Meredo if we could have a good relationship with Gandia? For example, if Gandhia's power can be driven out, will the fight against Ishika also change in Meredo's favour?

"Bizarre...?

"Go and you'll see."

When he told him, Salius ran his horse through the reins. As Shrell and Vizen rushed to follow, two thousand soldiers followed it. Salius had brought half of the main force for the Reuben attack. That can also be done because the fight against the squid has fallen into adhesive condition. They kept staring at each other without being able to tap into each other's decisive blows.

(You were too greedy)

Salius thought about the battle against the squid, looking out for Reuben, who burns in the dark night. We attacked the squid because Zalwarn was in a situation where he had to concentrate on Gandia, but apparently the squid had a similar idea, ending up hurting each other and taking away their territory. Meredo ate into the territory of the squid, and although he was able to walk north, he was deprived of just the same territory by the squid.

In a distorted form, they are eating each other's territory.

The war between Meredo and Ichika will end like this. We're not going to fight each other. A showdown is likely to give other countries a gap into it. Just as Meredo's enemies are not alone with Ishika, so are Ishika's enemies. Eating each other's territory, nothing short of just vain that the battle ends with pain sharing, but it's also something we can't help.

(Insufficient fighting power......)

Even in that sense, he thought it was important to have a connection with Gandhia. A country as wary as Gandhia is not what it is. By swallowing Zalwarn, we have all the brave combatants, headed by an armed summoner, who will possess three or four armies.

That's all it took to win the all-out war against Zalwarn. In half-way power, Zalwarn's quantity drinks him to finish.

I pushed the mass back, I guess.

While I was thinking about it, Salius' vision captured Reuben's anomaly. I see a shadow of aliens dancing over a burning city. The roaring roar that rang all the way outside the walls must have been the roar of the monsters known as the Imperial Demons. It sounds like you're stroking a human nerve. There is no mistake.

"Are you being attacked by the Imperial Devil?

"Is there such a thing? I can't believe the Imperial Devil attacked the fortified city."

"The walls aren't universal, either."

Salius looked back as he was about to blow up on Shrel-Coder's unusually troubled face. Two thousand of his men await the knowledge of the master, Salius.

"All armies, hurry to Reuben and destroy the Imperial Devil. Prioritize the protection of Reuben's citizens, and if Reuben's soldiers survive, work with them!

"Ha!"

A trembling voice of heaven and earth rose around Salius. All hairy. Though he wondered whether the battlefield was sweet or not, he saw his soldiers rush to Reuben in an undisturbed march. It's the force that forced the army to testify. I have to take care of it, but if I have to, it's the soldiers that will die for him. And with the king's life, it's a country called Meredo that can handle it. There are numerous precedents that have been rekindled with one king's life. Of course, I'm not going to learn such a precedent, and Salius is thinking about what it should be like to be king.

All that was left were Salius and Shrell and Vizen, and King Meredo's SS.

"What about Master Salius?

"Of course, I will."

The little witty look on Vizen's face seemed oddly reliable, perhaps because he had already put himself on the battlefield.

A hell of a battlefield was spreading to the present.
