Border Guardian Hal Akircius

Suburb of Lemesia, Colonia, Siluha Army Headquarters

Asfarif had made him attack Colonia Lemesia several times, but this was only a minor study to explore Colonia Lemesia's defensive system and morale, and the full-scale offense was still unhung.

This was due in large part to the lack of full-scale siege weapons, and the Siluha army, which had only about a ladder, had decided to attack after enough enemy morale had fallen.

And to explore that morale, Asfarif made him attack the castle gate with a handful of soldiers today, but frowned when he saw the soon defeating Southern infantry.

Funny, things aren't the same as before.

Clearly, unlike before, the tragedy of the Southern infantry, which tells the story of the intensity of the attack.

Asfarif snapped when he noticed something.

"Am I right? You don't have half the way to get hit today... what do you mean?

Until now, the Colonial Leamesian Guards have been attacking at Cage Castle, saving arrowballs that have no supply prospect, but they have come here and had a rough attack at once.

The supply route is naturally dimensioned by a tight siege net, and there is no indication that the supply has arrived.

Except that a large number of buried arrowballs were found somewhere, but as far as the arrowballs used were concerned, they were not the same as they were until yesterday, and no unusual or old objects were mixed, so that didn't seem to fit in either.

"... have you got eyes on reinforcements?

As a cheap tactician, Asfarif came to that conclusion.

I guess a situation has arisen where you could have used a large number of arrowballs that you had to save up to the last minute on Colonia Leamesia.

Whether the siege was expected to be lifted, or whether it was accompanied by a prospect of replenishing the arrowballs, or in any case whether it was possible to eliminate the besieged Siluha forces, or a change in behaviour because it was soon stepped on when a state was possible to keep them away must have arrived, and that is unlikely other than from which reinforcements.

But the Imperial Army hasn't recovered yet, and there shouldn't be any remaining troops.

It knows with the hands of none other Asfarif himself the blow that is almost equal to total annihilation on the Southern continent.

Besides, there should now be a coup d 'état in Imperial Capital between the imperial nobles who have made a covenant with Siluha, and there is no movement against Siluha.

Nothing rushes here but the armies of border guard officers where they are allies of the Empire.

However, the northern border guardian should not be able to move without a request or order from the Empire, and if he also believes in the information obtained from the Imperial nobility, it is impossible to make a request to Eastern states without a state governor, and the Senate cannot make an order or request because the Imperial nobility in question held him down.

"I don't know what kind of hand you used, but you can come if you want, I'll take it and I'll stand you up."

I don't feel comfortable lifting the siege of Colonia Lemesia that drove us this far into the corner, but it would be better to retreat and take an interception stance here.

A border guardian who hears that he has a glorious military activity, not to mention a barbarian opponent on the northern border.

He said it was the Northern Legion soldiers who rebuilt their former barbarian warriors and made them wear imperial-style heavy equipment and tactics.

Asfarif shook himself at the emergence of an unprecedented strong enemy.

The empire was strong, too, but somewhere is missing.

The soldiers are strong and the tactics are complete, but there are no generals.

Issuing a decree to lift the siege and releasing horseback riding scouts to explore the surrounding situation, Asfarif sends a messenger to join his army as well to the troops attacking a nearby small city.

With Colonia Leamesia's defensemen on their asses, who are looking at the unravelling siege, Asfarif begins his journey to form a formation on the suburban plains.

At last, to the mighty enemy that appeared, Asfarif put his arms together and lifted his lips to the brim.

"Ha, this has to be it! I can't feel this tension."

Julials Castle, Imperial Side Castle Gate

Cilentium troops were gathered at the imperial side gates of the Castle of Julius.

It is even spectacular to see more than 5,000 cavalry members of the First Cavalry Regiment lined up in 35,000 infantry soldiers, mainly from the North Regiment of the 22nd Regiment, the 23rd Regiment, the Cilentium Regiment, the Altrius Regiment and the Fellum Regiment.

Five thousand Goosind-led soldiers, who abandoned Lugusa and entered the Castle of Julius with massive supplies, were supposed to defend the rear Castle of Julius, ready.

By now Siluha will have been informed of the movement of the Cilentium army, but the East Photo Army should have also begun to raise to its own country, later only to debunk and defeat the Siluha army that entered the Empire.

Hal, with Altrius on his shoulder as usual, looked around at the invincible souls of the soldiers and had the same grin before issuing the decree.

"Let's go!"

Ugh.

Forty thousand strong Cilentium troops began marching to the eastern plains of the Empire, ahead of Hull, who jumped on a single horse.

Sieged by the Siluha army, the capital of Lemesia and Colonia Lemesia are about two weeks away, with Poutrus Leames on the way, but it won't take that long to attack because it's a harbour town without walls, and it's hard to imagine that the Siluha side will be defensive in this city for the same reason.

Perhaps it will be on the outskirts of Colonia Lemesia clashing with the Siluha army.

'Oh, good. Now it's called the army!

With Hull's shoulder, Altrius crumbles as he looks to rely on the Northern Legion soldiers that continue behind him.

"It's finally a showdown"

"Um, well, don't worry about it. No mistakes in my maneuvers and strategies."

Altrius responded by tapping on his chest to Hal's words.

Siluha Army Headquarters

"What the fuck!? You said Julius fell? What do you mean?"

Asfarif the boulder also turns a blind eye to the report of the scout head and shouts out.

But with a surprising asphalt to spare, the scoundrel continued to report faintly.

"Ha, a night raid was carried out by border guard government forces from the side of Siluha, which wiped out the castle's defense forces. The Border Guards are marching here."

And Asphalif looked up to heaven in his words, and put his hand upon his forehead, and thought for a while, he opened his mouth.

"Holy shit! We need to get back in formation southbound, now!

"Ha."

"Immediate transmission, tell each formation to change the formation in the southeast direction."

Copy that, sir.

"Ha."

The order rushes out of the main unit.

Asfarif had the soldiers in his ranks start preparing for the rearrangement as well before turning to his scouts.

"How the hell did the Border Guardian Public Army show up from the south?

"The Border Guardian Civil Army dropped Lugusa over the eastern mountain masses from the north, showing signs of attacking Partheon while moving at once. We have crossed the Siluha Mountains and defeated the Julials. He's been showing a bare gesture of marching on Tion ever since, but he's marching on this one."

"Well... no shit, there's such a big strategy..."

Asfarif speaking out in regret without thinking.

There is no denying that there was an alarm.

If they were to come, they would enter imperial territory via Colonia Meridieto, as the law dictates, and appear in a way that blocks them in the front of themselves.

"What's wrong with Danford or some idiot who says that? You didn't inhibit it. Border Guard officers have turned their backs..."

I had no idea it was coming from the back, and I never thought it would show up behind my back by breaking through Siluha territory.

It was only restraint that caused Danford to keep his army and invade the territory of the border guard officer, and what he did to divert his power and attention from you.

It was only in Colonia Meridieto that the main force stood.

As far as the battle gesture of the Border Guardian Officer is concerned, he thought he was the type of general who would prepare his forces and defeat his enemies from the front, but if he could also use such a mockery or oddity, he must reconsider his thoughts.

Asfarif, who was thinking of tactics, slowly opens his mouth.

"What happened to the Siluha army in the capital?

"Flirted by the East Photo move that attacked and broke the Northeast border, there seemed to be no way to exchange anything but Cage Castle..."

"... right"

There is almost no doubt that the border guardian will be in touch with Dongzhao.

Why didn't you join forces there to attack Partheon?

With 40,000 border guardians and 40,000 East Photographers, it would have been possible to divide the territory of Siluha, and no matter how many caged castles, Partheon would have fallen sooner than Asfarif would have returned.

"... are you saying that you have no will to join the post-occupation ruling or the struggle for hegemony in the Setria Inland Sea? Even so, if we attack the capital, Siluha has nothing else to pull up the army from the Empire... uhm, I would attack the capital..."

Asfarif twisted his neck without letting anyone hear him.

To the thought-provoking mercenary general, the scouthead speaks out.

"Then general..."

"What?"

When Asfarif, who was interrupted in his thoughts and a little grumpy, replied, the scouthead sounded sorry.

We have a recall order from Sirukha's home country.

"Ahhh? You idiot! How do we get back now? Number one, the exit route is already blocked. There's no way out of the ocean, but can we get a ship ready? The border guardian comes from the south. Potorus Leames has to give up, right?

"Ha."

"Oh, come on! And if we're going to retreat now, we're just going to be hit from behind by the border guards, and damn it, this is why the merchants... they don't know what tactics or strategies are."

Asphallic that exploded dissatisfaction.

However, I recall that the merchants in my country were in a situation where they could not even panic.

"The purpose of the order is to return and defend the capital and the country, and restore the conquered territory, so that East Photograph manages to return because of the offensive against the country."

"That would be even more so now... anyway, Dongzhao will pull up after the role, and the Border Guard officers are sending troops over here... damn it, I can't help it, because I can't resist my employer... except after the return breaks the Border Guard Civil Army. Tell them to secure the ship by then. If we defeat the Border Guard, Poutrus Leames will be able to reconquer."

"Okay."

To the words of the scout head, Asphalif exhaled a deep sigh, and words containing a grudge and a give up.

Perhaps when the order was given, it was under the circumstances that the capital might be attacked, but its culprit, the Border Guardian Civil Army, is now approaching.

In any case, the soldiers would be upset if they found out it was a situation in which they were being denied exit, and it would certainly be even more forthcoming if they found out that a return order had been issued from their home country.

"There's nothing else I can do best... but damn, I'm just pissed off that I let it out!

Asfarif kicked down the water table where he was finally placed in the main unit and spoke out loud.

"Shit, that's an uninteresting development, this one says you can't even replenish soldiers... let them pull up defensemen from Poutrus Leames right away. If you're going to get hit, you better join us. In any case, we've already cut the number of soldiers by 70,000, which will add up to the lost Southern infantry."

Copy that, sir.

A decree is dispatched.

"Absolutely, the Siluha Nation is still going crazy!

Asfarif was trying to look south and vomit words of resentment.
