"Then it is my view that there can be no battle. The power difference is overwhelming. Let's just say I can't cover it up. The army of the Imperial Demon will only be replenished if it is reduced. This one, it's not. If it decreases, it only decreases, it just loses its power of war, and it can't possibly do something like that. It's too late to conscript now."

The conscript would have done so. Conscript, this is the power. About 20,000. Gandhia, Logner, and Zalwarn may be somewhat unpardonable, but that's usually enough. There's nothing like conscripting additional troops, that's what Nares said, I guess. Leongand has full confidence in Nares.

"What we need to win will be the courage to fully understand and use up the Allied forces' power. No spare time. Of course, it's visible that you can't breathe out from the start with all your strength, but you can't let the wars go down. Win an engagement, stay in the momentum, and avalanche into Kruselk territory. Make your country a battlefield, first and last."

"I know what you want... but what exactly are you going to do?

"As some of you know, we currently have only a minimum of fighting power in Malwales. Only the first and second legions of the Zalwarn side are on the defense of Malwales. You know what this means."

"Bait."

Those are Deion-Hocrow.

The meeting becomes somewhat farcical, I guess, because the generals know the tactics Nahless has devised. During the opening of the war, there is nothing more foolish than holding military discussions and strategizing over this period.

"Discover. If Malwal's defense were to be the thinnest, there would be no doubt that Kruselk would eat it up. Anyway, the enemy doesn't have an army. If you can only fight in numbers, you must choose the battlefield where you can best use its power."

It was when Algazard nodded softly at Nares' words. A soldier jumped in, breathing on his shoulder, wondering if the door to the conference hall had opened with momentum.

"Report!"

"What's going on?

"We have an army approaching Malwale! It means it's a bunch of Imperial Demons!

The conference hall was bothered, but I had heard of Nares' measures, and nothing lacked calm.

"As planned, you seem to have eaten up in Malwales"

"So what do we do?

"Of course, I'm not leaving Malware alone. Anticipating the time when the enemy forces were devoured by Malwales, we turn to offense. Nevertheless, what you want in the Battle of Malwales is not a victory. Lion's Tail holds the key to victory."

Setsuna and the others.

Leongand recalled that Nahless had sent The Lion's Tail to the Mion Conquest. The Lion's Tail is Gandhia's most important power. The voices that it was a waste to use them like the Mion conquest were loud, but in the form of being pushed off by the opinion of the military master, The Lion's Tail accompanied the Mion conquest. Without much battle, Mion's quest became,

"Wasn't it a failure to let The Lion's Tail go to Myon?

"It is because" The Lion's Tail "is not here that Kruselk chose Gandia for the battlefield. Different?

"That's right..."

"Had the Lion's Tail been in Malwales, Kruselk's target of attack would have been either dispersed or narrowed down to Abard or Gibbell. As far as enemy movements go, you don't even seem to be planning on doing a multifaceted operation. If that happened, there would have been a lot of damage to Abard or Gibbell. Anyway, they are tens of thousands of Imperial Demons. Abard and Gibbel can't stand it."

"If you're in Malwale, you think you can stand it?

"The first wave."

Nares told him coldly. The second wave was like saying darkly that it was intolerable. I heard someone swallow a spit.

"A bunch of Imperial Demons just looking over. Oh, I hate it."

Mildy-Habock sighed with no one as he gazed at the northeastern earth from the walls of Malwale.

January 15, 5002, continental calendar.

In Malwale, the city of the Zalwarn region of the Kingdom of Gandhia, a herd of Imperial Demons was approaching which Kruselk would have directed. In the cold mornings, the sunlight falling from heaven illuminates a horde of demons that fill the earth. I guess I find it oddly divine to say it's a demonic march because it's too bright. It must have seemed horrible and disastrous.

"Damn, Gandhia is a horrible country. Because it pushes us. Don't you think it's like you don't care about one's life?"

Mildy's reaction to the sigh came right behind him. Even if you don't mean it, it's not the kind of word that the Legion Leader can say. Fortunately, there are only willing people around, and even if there is no fear of being told by the upper ranks of the military, you should certainly be careful.

Most importantly, be careful, but if you don't survive this battle, it's useless.

(You think it's a waste?

Looking back, I looked into the other person's mind. Despair is looming. One or two of the stupidity, I couldn't help but want to spill it, and it wasn't surprising if it was in my mind. It's not a winning battle.

Still, Mildy has some words he couldn't help but say.

"Are you talking about the Zalwarns?"

"... so is that"

The opponent did not deny Mildy's response. He knows too. I also wonder if there are many more people who understand it as a real feeling than he does. It was the person who had seen how Zalwarn was an inhumane country, from a position close to the centre of the country.

"Hey, Eula Legion Leader. How's it going?

"Nothing like this, either. I'm a human being. I never thought I'd be entrusted with such a stronghold.

It was a young man named Eula-Rebayen who laughed bitterly. As its name suggests, it is a man of the Revien family that leads to the Pendragon clan, who was the ruler of Zalwarn. Among them, he had been found talented by Mirelbas-Ryburn, the national lord who adorned the end of Zalwarn, and had been incensed as his belly, and was one of the people best acquainted with Zalwarn's entity.

Zalwarn was not corrupt, but chose no means to strengthen the country. We tried to strengthen the country by using a way off the path of men. Many children of the Pendragon clan were sacrificed for this.

(Dinobot Cave)

Eula, too, would have been thrown into the hell of a man's world if Mirelbus hadn't found her talent. There were only five survivors of the Dinobot Cave, of whom only Miliu-Libaien, who would hit his cousin, survived the Zalwarn War.

Knowing such circumstances, Mirdi sincerely feels glad that he was not born into the Pendragon clan. If you had given your name to the last seat of the Pendragon clan, you might have gone to hell for a long time.

(Though it may just be the difference between when you die)

Well, maybe that's what makes you think that, because death is approaching the present.

"A stronghold... well, that's a stronghold. Kruselk fits into the thoughts of our Master."

"Nares-Ragnahorn is a terrible person."

"Yes, I'm aware of that."

Thinking of the disaster brought to Zalwarn by Gundia's warrior, Nares-Ragnahorn, it's about seeing how horrible he is. Being boned by Nares is Zalwarn's biggest defeat. If Zalwarn was sufficient, wouldn't he have suffered such a defeat to Gandia? Vain assumptions, but I couldn't help but think so.

Regardless, we know that even if Zalwarn had won, a showdown with Kruselk would not have been avoided. Kruselk is Zalwarn's neighbor. Even if Zalwarn continued south, there was no mistake that it was an obstacle to Kruselk. Sooner or later, we would have collided and had a showdown.

"I double the moat and the walls for this. Let's have some. But, yeah, not forever."

Malwale had been significantly refurbished by the Gandhian army. The walls were reinforced to something more robust, and moats were worn around the walls. A deep moat surrounded the walls, often with even thicker walls around the moat. The major renovation of Malwales does not foresee anything more than a showdown with Kruselk. If you're going to war with Abard or Gibbel, this Malwal will be your stronghold.

The fortification of Malwales was inevitable. A lot of money was thrown for it, but it won't go to waste.

"Can you break through this wall to the Imperial Devil?

Eula walked away looking out for the first castle wall that could be fronted. Both Mirdi and Eula were climbing the Second Wall.

That's when a man in military uniform entered Mildy's sight.

"Reuben hears that the Wall was destroyed by the Imperial Devil. Isn't it because the Imperial Devil cannot destroy a city surrounded by walls"

"Hey, Deputy Chief. What's the situation?"

"According to reports, we will also be in contact with the defensive line in the morning and are expected to reach the First Wall at noon"

Zalwarn's deputy chief of the army, Kaeon-Aud, set his stance on Mirdi and said. He was recognized for his service as a Saint Dragon Army warrior in the Zalwarn War. As Mirdi was recognized for his role in the Battle of the Dragon Warrior and promoted to Legion Leader.

Gandhia encountered as thick as the person who gave the Gandhian army a painful hand to make up for the shortage of talent. There must have been political reasons why Eula-Lebaen was promoted to Legion Leader, but some people were better than him. The figure who was involved in the center of Zalwarn is higher in character than the troop leader of the Dragon-Eye Army. We still need visibility and character to deal with Zalwarn soldiers.

Whenever Eula saw a Second Corps soldier treated like a limb, Mirdi made me think about the trouble she had taken in the hands of the First Corps. In the end, the fact that he was quick to use Caion-Ord's name also made him feel painful about his lack of visibility. Kaeon-Aud was the son of the Divine Admiral Cyrus-Od, who had even been instructed by the Zalwarn military to look to the future. I've heard a lot about him.

"is the defensive line a premise to be kicked"

"Five hundred won't even buy you time. It's your word if you can sharpen your temper even slightly. but whether it works too. Anyway, the defense forces have included it as an immediate retreat after contact. After accepting the defense forces, the castle gate will be completely sealed off and we will enter the battle of Cage Castle"

"As planned, huh?"

"Yes, everything, as tactically done by the Gandia Army Staff Department"

That means, as the tactics of the military master Nares-Ragnahorn put it, Zalwarn, the first regiment, two hundred, and the second regiment, two hundred, are not the only tactics that can be suppressed. It's just to lure Kruselk's army, and there's no winning chance or anything.

It's not good.

Mildi shuddered in the footsteps of a moment and impending ruin as she looked out for the far northeastern earth.
