"I'd like to ask Princess Sheila to take the lead, and Master Setuna to take on the general."

"Am I the general?

Setuna was honestly surprised by what Nares said. The General means that he has a role to play at the top of that army. I've never had a role like that before. Positively, it's impossible. Setuna is one of only two collar uncles and captain of the Royal SS "Lion's Tail," but when it comes to the army's general, the market has decided that it is something that King Leongando of Gandhia, General Algazard Barrol-Bargazar, General Left and Right will receive.

Uncle Lian, as a political position, can be said to be comparable to the Great General, but militarily, he was not in that position.

Nares must have guessed Setuna's thoughts - telling her quietly.

"Neither His Excellency the Grand General nor the two deputy generals nor the left or right generals have been called to this Abad invading army. I was wondering if it would be appropriate for your uncle to take command. Besides, it doesn't make any difference what you do to Master Setsuna. If you cut into the enemy formation and snap them down, that's fine. If we cut ahead of the general, our morale will rise irresponsibly."

"... ok"

Setsuna nodded slowly. In the first place, the option of saying no to Setuna does not exist. The opponent is a military teacher. Setuna didn't think very much that her position was strong enough to express an opinion on things set by the military master. In particular, Gandia's position in the war of the military master Nares is very strong. In the Kruselk war, the whole coalition's strategy, even tactics, can be said to have come out of his head. So much brains. There must also be some intention to place Setuna in the General.

"You can take it on, right?

"Oh. If it's okay as usual, there's nothing wrong with it"

"Good. If Lady Setuna hadn't taken it upon me, I would have served as General."

Nares has been laughing, but no matter, you've got to be kidding. I've never even heard of it, such as a military master serving as a general. No, it's not an impossible story, and maybe it was a common thing in Gandia's history. It is this other world that is inestimable in common sense in Setuna's head.

"Does Setuna want anything good from me?

"Huh?"

Setsuna asked back because it was an unexpected question. No way, I didn't expect Nahless to ask me that. Nares is a military teacher. It is no exaggeration to say that he is a person who keeps his head around Gandhia's policies and strategies, and for that reason he wants to give away everything in his life. In fact, he was given the fate of death for Gandhia, so there would be no mistake in his assessment of Setuna. How many people would be more prepared to work in Gandia than he is?

Setsuna, what do you think?

I'm sure it's still not enough.

Not yet, not in his realm.

To reach his realm, don't be half ready to live. Regardless, Setuna is not throwing herself into the battle of Gandhia with half-baked readiness.

"I was wondering if you had any opinions on how I did it, deciding to protect Princess Sheila and acting with her until now."

The look on Nares's face is calm. Though it is unfortunate that a man as thin as a ghost and only bone and skin smiled with moderation, which can only be described as horrible.

"I don't."

Setsuna said.

"Mr. Nares is a Gundia military teacher. You're just doing what's best for Gandhia, aren't you?

"Absolutely."

There is no precipitation in Nares' reply.

"Then I have nothing to say."

"But you hated me, didn't you?

"If you were such a simple person, you might have lived a little easier"

So Setuna gave a salute to Nares and Ayn and left the room.

We have to find Sheila.

It's about her prioritizing purpose. There will be no such thing as choosing death, but there can be no possibility of doing something that doesn't mean you want to fall into self-immolation. There is also the possibility, for example, of getting out of here and attempting to infiltrate the single king's capital, Bandor.

She's getting cornered here more and more.

You can't leave me alone.

"Now, are you glad?

Ein waited for the door to close before turning back to Nares.

"This will do. Everything is going well. More than I ever imagined."

Nares moved slightly on the sleeping table.

"I don't have time"

It was also apparent to Ein's eyes that the time of Nahles-Ragnahorn's life was still about to run out. He was so skinny that I thought the meat might have shredded off his whole body that it seemed so strange to be alive. It hurts to see, enough to hesitate to even look at Ein. It was during the last ten days that Nares began to lose so much weight, and until then, he did well, so much so that Ayne and the others swung. The shadow that I see is gone.

"I guess I'm just lucky I don't have to show this to Meryl"

During the Ceasel offensive, the words whispered by Nahless remain in Ayn's ear.

"When it comes to what you can do in the time left, this is the only thing you can do"

"Buy me a grudge, will you?"

"He hates, hates, hates, he's finally a soldier."

Nares looked at Ayn with an unusually radiant eye. The intensity of the light in his eyes can be said to contrast with his slender body.

"At best, you're resentful."

"If you succeed the director, you will be resented by nature."

"I guess."

Nares did not deny it. I laughed without denying it and lay my body on the sleeping table. Even if he's just sitting up in his upper body, he's comfortable with his body. While Setuna and Sheila were here, he sat around all the time, but he didn't even show how he was in pain. One of Nares' teachings is that a military teacher deserves a cool face. Even if the measure ends in failure, it is the presence of a military master who flushes it with a cool face, he said. Because if a warrior is a wolf, it involves the morale of the entire army. That's what I think the soldiers would be like if they even looked like they were after failure.

"Princess Sheila, Dear Setuna... the pawns are all set. We have to drop Bandor first and kick the Knights of Benoagard out of Abad."

Reinforcements from the Knights are a grand total of 3,000 men.

The Knights are based in Benoagard, a country at the northern end of a small group of nations. I hope it's a long way off, but in fact, I just want to know how you got to Abard. Between Benoagard and Abad lies a country called Maldia. It meant that the territory of Maldia had to be lengthened, which seemed like a difficult problem.

There is information that Maldia is a country hostile to Benoagard. But there is no question that the Knights of Benoagard have actually passed through Maldia territory more than they have stayed inside Abad, and some sort of negotiation may have taken place with Maldia. Neither is it possible that he came through the detour.

"That would mean we're putting so much effort into Abard. I have no idea why or why you sent so much force for it so far... but whatever their purpose is, it's true that you can't pass it up"

"Aren't you going to take over Abard?

When Ain asked with a laugh, he had told him with a cool face.

"If Benoagard was serious about taking over Abard, he'd have gotten into some civil unrest."

"Then again, Princess Sheila just told me"

"A convenience to convince her... though the princess didn't seem to convince me"

"Convinced or not, it won't matter"

"It doesn't matter. Whether the princess is not convinced or not, our Gandian army fights the princess on the flag. We fight to save Princess Sheila's condition, so it's only natural to fly her as a flag more than Princess Sheila has joined us."

There's only one nod to Nares' explanation.

You were right.

War is outrageous.

If it is a war for territorial defence, it is still nothing short of outrageous. invade, ravage, kill and plunder territory. There was no justice or anything there. It's just destruction, it's just killing. That's the thing. If we do not justify it, if we do not do righteousness, the soldiers cannot do it either. Even for tomorrow, even though for a living, I won't be able to fight. That's why we need justice. We need to do great justice to fight.

Gandhia has done so much good every time of war. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to have all those fights over the past year or anything, and even if we could, we wouldn't have been able to have all those fights.

Without righteousness, without justice, the soldiers will not move.

Naturally, he also did good for the march to Abad.

That was what saving Abard's princess Sheila Lewe-Abbard from her predicament, inheriting the throne, and bringing stability to Abard.

Princess Sheila's visibility in Gandia had been greatly increased by the Kruselk War. Gandhian military personnel were famous not to mention nothing unknown among the people of Gandhia. The fact that she had an interaction with Gandhian hero Setuna may also have an impact, but I'm guessing it's influenced that she's been Abard's representative for a long time. Abard's face in Gandhia was Princess Sheila. Her activities in the Kruselk war were therefore widely communicated and familiar to the Gandian people. I guess that's how things continued to mourn and grieve Princess Sheila's execution.

If such Sheila is in fact alive and in distress in Abad, there is a point that she should not be left alone as a Gandhian person.

It was the Gandian people and the Gandian military who remembered more intimacy with Princess Sheila, who was Abad's face, than the government of Abad, an ally. It was no surprise that there was more to Princess Sheila's predicament than the position of the Abad government to do something about it.

That's what I did.

The morale of the Abad invading army was extremely high.

"The director is a terrible one."

"I guess so."

"You saw this happen from the beginning, didn't you?

Ein, while caring about Nares, couldn't help but ask.

The first thing Ain means is not in the Dragon House. This could have been foreseen for Ein and Allegria shortly after Setuna traveled with Sheila to the Dragon Palace to publicly execute Larnheil and his clan royal party and stop them. Whether or not the suspension of public executions by Setuna and Sheila will succeed, there is no doubt that such a situation would have arisen. If you can't see that much, you can't be a military candidate or something.

But Nares has been looking at the situation for a long time.

So I pushed Ryufu as the new territory of Setuna. Dragon House is a big city close to the border with Abad. At the end of the civil unrest, the princess of Abad was the place to dress to fall. There is no better place to escape one's eyes and live in hiding than the complex and vast ancient capital. And Sheila would try to make contact with Setuna, who became the ruler of the Dragon House. Setsuna, don't let Sheila go like that. Because Setsuna is sweet. It's only a matter of time before we get from there to Abard.

Abard leaves Sheila alone, or, move to murder.

Even if Abard left Sheila alone, he might not have had any particular problems as a nurse. Sheila was a bearer of impeccable strength in operating as a force of war and a user of summoning armed forces. Her squire is strong, too. If you think you've got an irreplaceable force without bitterness, that's fine.

But Abard's move to Sheila's murder turned things into what Nares had in mind.

That's the situation.

"I never saw it work out this far."

"You must be lying"

"I mean it. Everything's going too well. I'm so anxious to see if there's a pit somewhere."

"If there is a pitfall, the director's life will be exhausted before the Bandor attack," he said.

"Such things, pitfalls or whatever."

He's not even hungry. That's horrible for Ein.

"I have you."

"Am I?"

"I'll take care of that."

To Nares' bitter laughter, Ain't got no choice but to narrow her eyes. It was dazzling. In a room illuminated by the light of a demonic crystal lamp. I saw the figure of Nares shining.

"I have you, I have Allegria. There are two people who will fill in my post-mortem void. I've never been luckier."

"I'm lucky to see the director."

"To Master Setuna, right?

"I won't deny that,"

"Good answer. You can count on Gandhia's future."

"Don't tell me you're dying."

"I'm dying."

That's how he laughed bitterly.
