A cove near the mouth of the Eastwood River is listed as a candidate for a defensive base to be built as a top priority.

Of course, it would be possible to moor a whale-class battleship if a defensive base were to be built in this cove that would make all the estuaries of the Eastwood River sentinel.

Besides, we were planning on building a port city here, and we just had to let it function as a defensive base, so we didn't spend that much time looking down.

This time Christoph is flying on site with four men to inspect the planned construction site of the defense base.

They're literally flying in.

The accompanying men are recited to the Knight Sir by the merits of the Battle of Lake Zilpen, plus Baron Peron von Cook, who has the momentum to drop the flying bird described to the Baron in the merits of solving the Royal Kidnapping case.

In the Orion invasion operation, Gael was supposed to lead some troops and had been recalled by the Wang capital.

Lars was an ex-Christoph escort knight apprentice who is active as an intelligence officer and promoted to lieutenant in the Battle of Lake Zilpen.

Fiman, who is entrusted with the construction department as Wood's subordinate.

Four of them.

And... hundreds of people are on their knees and drooling their heads before Christoph.

"Aristocrats, please help me"

Christophes, who thought no one lived in the Great Forest, where high ranking demons walk, said they had long lived within this Great Forest.

And this time I saw Christophers investigating the Great Forest, and they thought other tribes had invaded their land and attacked.

Christophes, who overwhelmingly overwhelmingly overwhelmed their attacks, asked why they had attacked and why, and had just corrected the differences in their perceptions of each other because there were mistakes, though not mistakes.

"Peron, what can I do?

"Well... it is reasonable to assume the death penalty of the clan royal party if it were meant to be because those who tried to harm Lord Christoph, the Duke of the Holy Bandham Kingdom..."

Those who heard of Peron's merciless chastisement blued, and some of them screamed and fell.

In the Kingdom of Holy Bandam, the sins of those who tried to kill nobles are exhausting up to their families.

That doesn't have to be the Holy Bandham Kingdom. It's natural in most countries, so those who raid know it and are blue.

Aside from Peron as Christoph's men, there are three others on this scene, but Lars and Fiman take Peron's disposition for granted.

But Gael keeps an eye on the two interactions in his mind, "You haven't even thought about that earlier in your nails," he said.

In fact, Christoph thinks the same as Gael.

"Peron, I don't want that far. I want you to do it peacefully."

Draw out this word of Christoph.

Christopher will put into words the answer that Peron wanted.

Mention that Christoph does not condone all their sins but does not extend to severe punishment, that is the answer Perón sought.

"Now give them a place to work for the Hall, and let them do their work. Let us redeem our sins by their merits."

"Hmm, if so, is that good?

Accept the compromise put forward by Perón or think that if they do not accept it, they will be the death penalty of the clan francophone.

The answer has already been decided.

Because for them it's a one-way ticket to death, except "YES".

"Thank you for your generous treatment! I pledge my allegiance to my clan and nobility!

They are a clan of fox beasts named 'Swanem', with a population of 539.

I heard that the Swanem are characterized by an extremely high ability to disguise themselves, and Christoph said, "Could it be good for Pritz's men?" and recruit those who wish.

There are 28 hopefuls, including Acham, the son of a chief and warrior chief, but he is also Teng himself, who has mistaken Christophes for an invader and raided them.

I mean, blood is easy on my head, so I can't use it as an intelligence agent who needs calm judgment in covert actions, so Acham and a few decided to work back out as depository warriors to Gael.

Immediately confirming the defense base candidate site on this inspection, Christoph, who gave permission to build, instructs Gael and Fihman to prepare blueprints by stating his ideas.

Marquis Cujou, the eastern governor of the Kingdom of Holy Bandam, sits in the command seat of the Whale Class IV, which has just completed its inauguration ceremony, to ascertain its comfort.

And look up at Crystal Palace and wonder if we should honor or be afraid of the technical skill of its lord and grandson, Christoph.

"Apostolic Hall of Magic God... or none at all"

He thought of his grandson overlooking the Whale Class IV on the Crystal Palace balcony with a blown out look.

The grandson, who wears the highest nobility of the Holy Bandham kingdom by making him an apostle of the Magic God, and his grandson has made enough achievements to stun the Marquis of Cujo by creating one magic item after another that overshadows his previous common sense.

The first daughter married to the royal family became queen, and the son born to the queen was more drawn from the central dispute than from the crown prince, but the marquis Kujo, who was known for his assassination, had also lost his temperament.

He had originally planned to cede the governor to his son and retire last summer, but the assassination was announced and his retirement postponed.

He led a flogging army to the old body to participate in the Orion invasion operation, all in order to reward the St. Orion and the Principality of Belm with one arrow at his own disposal.

To avenge his daughter and grandson, the king and prince.

"Your Eminence, give me your orders."

A magnificent military man dressed in a military uniform with no wrinkles looks up at the Marquis Cujou sitting in the command seat and awaits instructions.

This soldier is the Viscount Akatsuki, who is the subordinate of the Marquis of Khujou and is asked by the Marquis of Khujou to have one arm.

Although Viscount Akatsuki has little experience in action, his command skills are highly appreciated by the Marquis Kujo as well.

"Uhm, all ships ahead at slight speeds!

"All ships ahead at slight speed!

Viscount Akatsuki recites Marquis Kujo's order and issues an order to his men.

The order was passed on to the pipes and to the departments as well.

Marquis Cujou saluted his grandson, Christoph, who was watching from the balcony at Crystal Palace.

Thus the Whale Class IV was handed over to the Royal Proxy Governor of the East.

"Now, does it take a pre-military chase? Peron, please."

"Are you okay with me?

"It's all right, Chief of Staff."

"No, don't..."

Beyond handing over Whale Class IV to the royal side, the troopers are in a state of no waiting.

The Brute Ease family's power includes a battalion of heavy infantry commanded by Brigadier General Gael, four battalions of light infantry commanded by Colonel Levis (war slaves), half a battalion of horseback riders commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Wick, a squadron of sorcerers commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Carla, and a few of Christoph's secret weapons, in the form of Commander Federer's command of them.

Christoph must take command of all the armies, and each one who was the Lord of the military leads the troops, so Christoph has Peron as his chief of cabinet and assists himself, and this time Clara, who is in service, has promoted the chief of staff, plus Egnacio, who has "Wisdom of the Wise" as his gift, to the Under-Secretary of Staff.

And naturally, Christoph's escort will be carried out by Phyllia, and this will be inevitable, but Pritz is in a position to gather information.

There are about 5,000 other nobles and borrowers who want five legions, about 80,000 people and birth, etc., of the Royal Army.

Since some of the nobles included two barons (one a retired former baron), a dozen knights and a few jazz, it was decided to call and entrust five thousand nobles, including those who owed formations to an old body called the former baron of Helplence, the Helplence Brigade.

This former Baron of Helplence said he was over sixty, but his eyes had not lost their light, and he was sometimes the former deputy commander of the Knights of the Kingdom, and there was no great opposition to his decision to entrust him with command of the brigade.

There are 12,000 other Marquis Sagarashi and 15,000 Cypriot marquises to be sent out, and 20,000 will come under Christoph's command from the fighting forces stationed at the Gornew Fortress.

The morale of four battalions, consisting of war slaves commanded by Major Levis, was extremely low.

Naturally, too, there is no reason for morale to increase because all four thousand war slaves must attack their country as soldiers of the Holy Bandham Kingdom, a former Saint Orion national soldier and enemy nation.

And I believe that the most likely way to use ourselves, being war slaves, is to be put into a place where lethality is high as reckless special attacks and meat walls.

It is only natural to think that when we were regular soldiers of the Holy Orion nation, we made beasts, elves, dwarves, etc. look down and disposable as sub and inferior races, etc.

Karma, they are giving up raw and self-inflicted when it comes to savoring it.

"If we want to live in death, should we strive to die first"

And whosoever heard the word, whosoever hath spoiled it, hath taken hold of his fist, saying, Whosoever hath heard it shall die, or shall live.

Christophe standing before such war slaves.

"What are they all sinking into? Boost your morale and you won't win a fight, will you?... those there, give me a reason."

Christoph knows why the war slaves are sinking, but he only refers to one of the war slaves if he doesn't know that.

The war slaves pointing to Christoph were the ones who were troop leaders in the St. Orion National Army and the most senior of the war slaves from the St. Orion nation under Christoph.

Christoph, who knew about it, dared point to him.

"Why should we help the invasion of our country?!

"That's right! You will be punished for insulting our Creator!

A big man next to the former troop leader Christoph pointed to makes his nose rough when a fake god puts a divine punishment on Christoph.

Christoph turns his scornful gaze to the war slave who did not instruct him to speak when he finally raised his mouth angle.

"Well, that's exciting"

"Making fun of the Creator?!

"Don't make fun of things that don't even exist."

"" "" "Eh!

Tensions run similar to anger to the war slaves who climb to 4,000 in Christoph's words.

"If there really is such a creator and such as you, why haven't I been divinely punished for slaughtering so many Saint Orion soldiers on Lake Zilpen?

"" "" "Eh!

If the Creator exists, it is uncomfortable that Christoph, the enemy of God, has not yet received divine punishment more than a year after the month.

It's not one or two people who feel that way.

But if, as Christoph said, the Creator does not exist, what have we done so far? And what do we do now? Their hearts shake.

The war slaves are annoyed by the challenging Christophe story, but Christophe, who does not read the air, goes on.

No, I'm just reading the air but I don't give a shit.

"By the way, you. What did you say your name was?

"Oh, I'm Darnan!

The big man, who earlier uttered a euphemism that Christoph would receive divine punishment, answers with a glance at Christoph.

"So, Darnan and I, do you know what happened to your family when you were taken prisoner?

Darnan, who is incapable of measuring the sincerity of Christoph's inquiry, a former troop leader with a blue face next to him and leaning down.

Christoph scrolls around a bunch of paper in his hand, checks and talks.

"Darnan, age 37, was from the village of Ordham and was a medium-sized harness-class steer. Families are parents and wives, children are girls who turn fourteen and nine-year-old boys. You sure about that?

"Yes, indeed."

"Hmm, were parents and wives executed, daughters enslaved, and sons slain as offerings to Orion's gods"

"To?... hey, what?"

Pale face, that's the word that describes Darnan today.

"Why don't you ask Lord Troop Leader next door?

The war slaves who line up in front of Christoph gather their gaze at the former troop leader.

Very few St. Orion national soldiers who were taken prisoner in the Battle of Lake Zilpen were able to exchange prisoners and ransom them and return home.

And the action taken by St. Orion was that the prisoners were deserters and rebels.

Now we can explain to the people that the prisoners are not coming back.

And the families of the prisoners tailored to the rebels were to be disposed of as a rebel clan.

The elderly and their spouses were executed, the man who could be expected as a workforce was dropped by serfs, and the raucous young woman was dropped by sexual slavery, and the young who could not be expected as a workforce or as sexual slaves were given their lives as offerings to God.

It is precisely the madness of the state to carry out the barbarism that should be called cult.

"Lady Hamza... the hell..."

"Shira! Oh, I don't know anything!

Former troop leader called Hamza too suspicious of behavior.

Christoph's bundle of paper contains surprising information about the war slaves here.

This information was examined by the intelligence department held by Clara and Pritz's brothers and sisters, whose information network has already stretched to the heart of the St. Orion nation.

And when these reports arrived, Christoph was so angry that he had forgotten me and gripped the glass of wine in his hand that he swore to his heart that he would surely destroy St. Orion's country after returning it to me.

And then we thought about whether we should tell the war slaves this fact, and it's happening now.

"Oh no!?

"Daughter Ha!?

"I have a son!

Upset runs on the war slaves.

If only to summon and scatter. Still, some rammed out.

I'm talking about a bug spit run.

"The same goes for everyone else. Do you still pledge your allegiance to the Orion religion?

Taking war slaves in this Orion invasion operation is just a bunch of people, and Christoph, who doesn't consider 4,000 war slaves as a force at all, isn't willing to put them into action.

If anything happened to put them war slaves into action, I believe that is when Christoph loses.

That's why we don't need to raise the morale of war slaves.

Then why would Christoph make a shocking report before a war slave, thinking about the post-war period, and expecting to convert as many as 4,000 Orions?

They are too miserable and too sad right now.

Christoph couldn't think of any words of comfort to put on them that betrayed my country.

I know you're poking at the ultimate choice.

But to free them from the cult curse, some rough healing was considered inevitable.

Five legions of the Royal Army were continuously assembled at the Gornew Fortress.

16,703 men led by the third army of the Kingdom, General Olivier Kud Ajaha.

15,826 led by Lt. Gen. Evan Kud Fried, 5th Army of the Kingdom.

16,237 led by the Eighth Army of the Kingdom, General Bakken Kud Ichijou.

16,115 led by the 11th Army of the Kingdom, Lieutenant General Kazika Kud Lottenheim.

White army, 15,224 led by Lieutenant General Courtarou von Kikkawa.

It was in May of the Holy Calendar 516 that a total of 80,105 troops were assembled, a time when the early young leaves were dazzling when it was still summer.

After the assassination, the Royal Army has undergone organizational reform to become the current organization.

Although the designation has not changed, there are regiments under the command of the ministry of the Kingdom of Holy Bandham and regiments under the direct command of the Crown and the Knights under the direct command of the Crown.

Apart from the Knights, they organized an army where the King could give direct instructions.

Normally the aristocracy was trying to crush it even when the king tried to develop such a law, but now the power of that aristocracy was weakened, and the legal development was to settle down in the way the king wanted, although with some redundancy.

And the army, which until now was said to be colored, was to be detached from the army as the king's direct army.

In other words, of the five Royal Army armies gathered at the Gornew Fortress this time, the White Army is precisely the Royal Army, and the other four armies are the Royal Army.

This time, four legions from the Royal Army and a royal white army, under Christopher's command, are about to invade the St. Orion nation, assembling in the Fortress of Gornew.

It is very rare for that army to attack another country because the Royal Army is basically on the defense of the central part of the Kingdom of Holy Bandham, which revolves around the King's capital.

Originally, it was the colored army, which is now the direct army of the royal family, that sometimes leaves the king's capital, but just as the king did not put in almost all of his direct army either.

Direct armies are basically treated as royal armies, but unlike the Royal Army, the King's direct armies are private armies that can be moved at the King's discretion, so in the unlikely event of a rebellion, etc., they can move faster than the Royal Army, and the King left some strength at hand.

To this end, the direct army is always packed in the King's Capital by three legions.

"Such a massive invasion is unparalleled in the history of the Holy Bandham kingdom, and if we can do it, we all want to step safely on the soil of the king's capital."

"Your Excellency Ajaha is as worrying as ever. The Orions are doomed to fail this time, just as they lost last time."

"Dear Left, it is our mission this time to besiege the wicked more than in three directions. As General Rottenheim said, we will win."

Lieutenant General Kikkawa, not taking part in the gathered generals' chatter, is acting as if he is looking over and watching.

Lieutenant General Kikkawa was in command of a regiment directly under the Royal Family, as well as remembering the struggle of the Royal Family's Black Army in its battle against the Bossam Empire.

At that time, the Bossam Empire was supposed to be exhausted and nasty in retreat if it stood in the fort and brought it into a protracted battle, but it has been driven to the point where nobles who did not know the battle liked to say anything about falling to the castle.

Lieutenant General Kikkawa is hearing the battle from his colleague, General Sevan, who was in command of the Black Army, and fears that those who do not know the war will be on the battlefield under his command.

It's clogged, it's connected to a distrust of Christophe.

"General Kikkawa, what's wrong?

"... especially..."

Everyone thought this response from Lieutenant General Kikkawa was the usual one, as the other generals knew that he was originally under-represented.

"Your Eminence, the Helpless Brigade is ready for battle, so we're here to report and greet you."

Former Baron Helplence came to say hello to Christoph because he said he would take the brigade and start at Fort Gornew.

"Thank you for your hard work, Lord Helpless."

"I reward you for your excessive manipulation of this old body!

Should he truly be a fierce warrior when he turns his heel and stretches his spine and walks away in dignity?

When Christoph drops off former Baron Helplens, who walks away loosely, takes a glimpse of the key members of the Brute Ease family ministerial corps and key members of the administration, and shifts his gaze to his wife, Dorothy.

"Dorothy, I'm not unwilling to leave you in the field with a weight (...), but... please, I want you to be careful with your body"

"I'll take care of the house. And about this kid. I hope Christoph returns safely..."

Dorothy's stomach, already nine months old, was swollen to the point of being cut off, and Christoph resented His Majesty (Tanuki) for having to march before the child was born.

And there was no doubt that a child would be born during the expedition, doubly resenting His Majesty (Tanuki).

Christophe, who still remembers the joy of knowing he had a child, put his hand on Dorothy's stomach at the end of the day and gave him his protection so that he could be born safely.

"I'll leave the rest to Wood. Dorothy and I asked for territory."

"Gatten!"

Wood, whose eyes were dead at one time, is now back to his previous nori as well.

"Let's go!

At the age of sixteen, Christoph, he never dreamed that this expedition would be a major branch of his life.
