"Is that it..."

Grad-Clyde frowned, recognizing a crowd swooping across the dark night. Given the circumstances, I can't help but have a rugged look. Far ahead, I could see countless red light points looming from across the wetlands. Speaking of red light points, there is only one answer.

"You sure are a bunch of Imperial Demons."

As reported, some of the Imperial Demons who apparently attacked Reuben seemed to be heading south towards Bahandar. Information that Reuben was attacked by a group of Imperial Demons had also just popped into Grad's ear earlier, but within less than an hour there seemed to have been a change in Reuben's situation.

In the first place, the information that Reuben had been raided by the Imperial Demon was shocking in itself and incredible. It's not something the Imperial Devil could think of, such as attacking a fortified city. However, it is unlikely that reports of objects are a lie more than Reuben's inflammation can be seen.

And the reports that popped in one after the other made me imagine Reuben being put in the worst possible position.

Reuben is a city judged unimportant and abandoned in Gandia's Zalwarn offensive. With Zalwarn's Second Dragon Scale Army stationed there, you can assume it's there as a defensive force. But how far can an opponent fight in a crowd of Imperial Demons? The city is surrounded by fortifications to prevent the Imperial Demon from attacking, not to think about what would happen if the Imperial Demon attacked it. If they break through the walls, all they have to do is respond with the power of the city.

If the Imperial Devil were a few, it wouldn't have been a big problem. At the very least, it would not have developed into a situation where some of them would have moved on and come towards Bahandar.

Bahandar is located in the south of Reuben. It is no stranger to the Logners that the alias of the fortified city in difficulty is not Dade, but that for many years it also endured the onslaught of Zalwarn and continued to show a rotten presence as Meredo's stronghold against Zalwarn.

Bahandar, even for Logner, was like a tumble over his eyes. Just as it was caught between Logner and Zalwarn, there lay a small high hill in Bahandar and a desperate wetland.

If we don't do something about Bahandar, we're no match for Meredo.

The Logner soldiers whispered.

I cannot help but feel the irony of fate that he is serving as the commander of that Bahandar Legion of Gandia.

Grad-Clyde is the First Army Commander on the Gandia Army Logner side. Until a few months ago, as Logner's Red Knight, he was known as General Flying's Twin Wings, but now, as a Gandhian soldier, he was entrusted with the cities of the enemy lands.

The only soldiers under his command are not the five hundred who remained as Bahandar's defensive soldiers. Two hundred people from Gandia's border defense base had been added, bringing the total to seven hundred. If we just protect Bahandar, it seems like too much fighting power. Bahandar is famous for his difficult defeat because he probably benefits geographically and is simply unfavourable to his attackers.

Bahandar is a fortified city built on a small high hill, surrounded by wetlands. Although there are streets penetrating the north and south, it is nearly impossible to rely on it alone to attack, nature, the attackers had to enter the wetland zone. On the Bahandar side, it's easy because all you have to do is shoot arrows at enemy troops coming through the wetlands. That was pretty much it, Meredo said, beating Zalwarn. There's no doubt there's a problem with Zalwarn's one-sided way of fighting, but nevertheless, it should be said that Bahandar's defensive capabilities are vicious and extreme.

Well, that's what happens when they're human. If the attacker is not human, please.

Grad placed three hundred of the seven hundred soldiers on the wall. And it divides the remaining 400 into three teams. It was also Grad who made two hundred and fifty troops and selected each troop leader. The remaining hundred made it a Grad gesture.

If three hundred people on the walls end up just pouring arrows down uninterrupted, that's fine, he thinks. But whether it works that way or not. The target is the Imperial Devil. It is not the counterpart to which human common sense prevails. If they were such that human theory prevailed, they would not be called natural enemies of mankind or anything else, but would they have been destroyed by humans in the course of five hundred years?

Thinking about it, I never got over caution.

If so, it was Grad himself who was armed and ready to be on the front line. The crimson armor around you is Deep Crimson. It was a summoning arm summoned for him by Wayne Bersein-Teulos, who should also be known as an ally, and a substitute for what he called the Red Knight. Even after the death of Wayne, the summoner, he continues to remain in this world, but he says summoning armed is such a thing.

Grad remembers Wayne every time he wears a deep crimson, but that's irrelevant right now.

He is now head of the Gandhian army. for the emigration logner. For the Logners to live well in Gandia. I was prepared to throw my life at it for that. He takes it for granted that even if the loser follows the warring world's turmoil of following the winner, he will do all he can for his former people.

What can I do to do that?

Those from Logner can only contribute to Gandhia's development. Let King Gandia acknowledge his contribution and gain his say. It's not a big story about taking real power in Gandhia, etc. That's all we have to do, however, to avoid being treated as the dominion of the winning Gandians. That's just it.

Most of all, not everyone in the former Logner military has that idea. Astal-Lanadies and grads, plus Elius-Logner and Reno-Gilberth, are moving on the basis of similar ideas, but apparently Ayn-Rajar and Dorka-Form are not. They are fighting to sing their own lives. Within a country called Gandhia, it fights a variety of things. That's fine, he thinks.

Both Ayn and Dorka are young and have a future.

It's not like Grad.

"I've never heard of the Imperial Devil acting in a controlled manner."

"I have heard that the Demon King leads the Imperial Devil"

"It's a rumor."

Grad overthrew his men's words, but it also meant that Kruselk could not possibly have attacked Reuben. Kruselk is a country located in the northeast of Zalwarn. Reuben is a city on the western tip of Zalwarn, too far for Kruselk to attack, and not something he can maintain even if he controls it. They're just gonna take it back. It is hard to imagine that an unknown country, in a certain sense, would do such a vain thing. Countries that are extremely reluctant to have information leaked outside do not see the advantage of creating an enclave.

Besides, the information that Yubel, the demon king of Kruselk, is obeying the Imperial Devil does not leave the rumours. Isn't it the result of a walk by the alias Demon King? It is unlikely that the Imperial Demon will follow man in the end, and whether or not the King will serve as a man capable of following the Imperial Demon.

"Command! Bratail and Gresbel's flock reach the line of defense. South down the Bahan Wetlands, approaching this way!

"Good luck. Notify the Archers. As soon as the Imperial Devil is in range, start bowshooting in sequence."

"Notify the Archers!

"Notify the Marines. Destroy the Imperial Demon that the Archers have defeated. Don't let any of the Imperial Demons go into Bahandar."

'Ha!'

Hearing the prestigious ringtone, Grad himself regained his temper. The Grads, the Marines, are in formation on Bahandar Hill. One hundred men led by Grad near the North Gate, one hundred and fifty troops each on both wings, are heavily lined up with shieldmen. It is not an interpersonal, but a formation against the Imperial Devil.

It is a simple tactic of sealing the overwhelming power of the Imperial Devil with thick protective walls and piercing it with multiple spears, but there is no other way, and it will be enough to defeat the Imperial Devil, who followed his hand wounds by the time he reached here.
