Continental Hero Senki

Emilia said she would escalate the proposed operation to the Command, but the first person she gave it to was Lt. Gen. Sapir, the Commander-in-Chief of the Kingsguard Corps, not Marshal Kiir.

Lieutenant General Sapir was surprised by this sudden visitor. Emilia is not a direct subordinate of Sapir. She belongs to General Operations, and Lieutenant General Sapir is the Kingsguard Division. If Emilia is going to propose an operation, then it's better to be Marshal Xyle as before.

Regardless, Emilia has a reason.

For one thing, if Lieutenant General Sapir's permission is granted, the proposed operation will be foiled and it will be easier for the operation to be approved.

The second is because if this operation were to be carried out, it would undoubtedly be the cavalry of the Kingsguard Division that would be chosen as the executing force.

And finally, to request that the 15th Platoon, to which my friend Captain Sarah Marinovska belongs, be removed from this operation.

Sapier asked her as she read the entire operation book, expressing her support for this proposal.

"Major Emilia. What do you think would be the right place for a unit to run this operation?

"... I was wondering if the Kingsguard Cavalry would be the best"

Emilia, while worried for a moment, came up with an optimal solution.

Sapier, who visibly spotted the concern, moved on to selecting an operational execution unit.

"Right. I guess you're right. So, of the 3rd Cavalry Regiment... well, that would be good around 1st Squadron"

"It's..."

"Is there a problem?

……

There is no problem. 3rd Cavalry Regiment 1st Squadron is the most martial arts unit in the Regiment. If the 3rd Cavalry Regiment told me to pick one squadron, it was natural for the 1st squadron to be chosen.

But what makes it a problem for Emilia is that the 1st Squadron includes the 15th Platoon. I mean, he says he wants Sarah in on this dangerous operation.

Sapir read exactly what Emilia was worried about. I realized that I was lost in sending a handful of my best friends to dangerous battlefields.

"Major Emilia. You will emerge further. [M] Probably not as good as being called" Your Excellency "among teenagers."

……

She didn't deny it. The royal girlfriend is also born early. Besides, Emilia is also blessed with military talent, so it's no surprise that she's going to lead one division within a few years. She is already regarded in some parts of the army as "the return of Marek Silesia".

"Major. Being born means having many men. And the superiors incur the duty and responsibility to bring one or more of their men to life"

"… I know"

This is a basic thing to learn in a year of cadet school. Whenever a class goes up, authority grows, but so does the responsibility for the lives of its subordinates with it. It is a tremendous sharpening of spirit, even those who cannot stand it and refuse to be promoted.

With the exception of some irresponsible noble officers, many commanders carry this responsibility.

"But sometimes we have to order our men to 'die'. If that's the means to save the vast majority of humans."

In wars, it is often said that such an order must be given to "die". It may be given as a direct order, or indirectly.

As for the former, for example, a "death warrant" falls on it. The order to "protect your stronghold even if you die" had been issued the other day.

The latter has, for example, the order "to abandon the Friends placed under siege". The total annihilation of troops under siege is a matter of time, and rescuing it is extremely difficult. It makes no sense to let 1,000 soldiers die to help 100 friends.

We must abandon a few in order to protect many. Even if a few of them had men raised by hand salt.

"In that case, there's not much we can do. You know what I mean?

"... I don't know"

Emilia answered honestly. All I dare say is call reinforcements, but in the case of this operation I excluded them from the answer because I can't call reinforcements.

"Believe it. My men and colleagues."

It would have been an answer. But the words stuck deep into Emilia's heart.

Noticing that slight change in mood, Sapier shared her thoughts on the Operation Book for the first time at this time.

"It wasn't Major Emilia who planned this operation.... No, is there some explanation for that? I guess I should say that it wasn't the major who first planned this operation."

"... did you know"

"No, I didn't know. But if you read it, you'll see. Captain Marinovska thought of the backbone of the operation, didn't he?

"... Yes"

"Then believe it all the more. It's synchronized, right?

Sapir said so, but he trusted Captain Marinovska's operation from a different perspective.

For she had repeatedly made submissions to Sapir in this war. In total, the number of proposed operations filed was eight. But they all had holes, and they were only hired once.

"During the Regiel match, she has petitioned," Don't slap the Imperial Army Left Wing Division with only the 3rd Cavalry Regiment ". Thanks to this, we also succeeded in poking the back of the 3 avant-garde divisions. Her talent as a cavalry is real."

"... that's what happened"

It is not impossible not to know about this. For Sarah never boasted of this feat around her. Neither her men, nor her friends, had been informed. Sarah's insistence that Emilia's maneuvers are better, but she can't claim small merits there, made her do so.

Maybe Emilia didn't know anything about her best friend. And I also realized it wasn't Sarah who would be happy to be given this consideration.

Emilia finally made her decision, considering that much.

"Then let's hear it again, Major. Which unit do you think is appropriate for this operation?

Emilia's response was clear and accurate.
