View from the Fortress

December 4.

"Me, Ormutz Fortress Takeover"

This communication, sent by Emilia Silesia herself, commander of the Emilia Division, was brought to Carbina, where the Immediate Royalist Command is located, by a scriptural dove, and exalted the hips of the royalist cadres.

One suspected this was a "peripheral trap of the Capitol," but Commander-in-Chief Karel Two-Rihinov

"I don't think that a nationalist who overwhelmingly wins in numbers would do such a small job. Probably true."

and trusted this communication text.

At this point, it was also possible that each garrison around the fortress would set up a recapture operation. We cannot let go of the Ormutz fortress, which we have taken at the corner, and, more importantly, the strategic importance of this fortress as a stepping stone towards the Midwest of the Republic is extremely high.

If this fortress can be maintained permanently by the royalists, this civil war trend should also change.

When Karel ruled so, he ordered Lieutenant General Mathias Masalik, the most senior of the royalists, to deposit two divisions and immediately head to Fortress Ormutz.

On the other hand, there can be no doubt that the national chaos was far greater than that of the royalists.

Particularly upsetting was the "former" fortress defense corps 6000, which lost Kudlerček. Kudlerček hurried back to the fortress at Cavalry 3000 and was exterminated by the Emilia Division. Losing their commanders and wandering in isolation among their enemies, they had to consider what to do in the future.

But I don't condone the amount of supplies they have. Replenishment was dependent on a fortress, but once that fortress had been suppressed, it was no longer possible to receive replenishment.

There are no supplies left for them just to head to the other garrisons from now on, leaving them with only two options.

Do you challenge the battle and crush the balls?

Or surrender to the enemy?

The remnants had a hustle and bustle of arguments, but could not readily come to a conclusion.

That is also because Brigadier General Baltak, the highest-ranking deputy commander of the troops left behind, insisted hard on jade crushing.

"A proud Republican soldier is not allowed to surrender to his enemies! Let's try our last battle as a republican army on this and make it to a glorious end!

This man is not simply Deputy Commander of the Fortress Guard. He was a native statesman and an officer intoxicated by the interim president, General Harha.

Baltak also monitored Kudlerček while performing his duties as deputy commander, and if Kudlerček saw any signs of betrayal, he was in a position to contact the center immediately and to solemnize Kudlerček and his family.

But now there's no Kudler Chek either. On the contrary, there is no fortress to return to. At this point, Baltark and the other remaining troops did not know the total number of enemy troops standing and caged in the fortress, and they did not know that some attempts could also reclaim the fortress.

The argument was disputed and the sun finally went down.

In the end, Deputy Commander Baltark did not break, and even tomorrow the meeting ended with a fortress attack.

But it didn't run. Because Baltark, who claimed to shatter the balls, died.

No, if I were to describe it accurately, it was because Baltak, who was claiming to crush the balls, was murdered by Captain Samuel Nejera, Kudlerček's "former" deputy, who was claiming to surrender.

"... you can't give the lives of 6,000 men for the solitude of this man"

And on 5 December, 6,000 soldiers of the National Order surrendered to the Emilia Division sitting at the Fortress of Ormutz and were taken prisoner.

In a series of battles following the Franitze meeting, the royalists gained more than 10,000 prisoners.

The arrival of royalist reinforcements at the Fortress of Ormutz took place on 8 December.

Lieutenant General Masalik, commander of the reinforcements, could not hide his surprise that the fortress was truly falling and that there were 7,000 prisoners in that fortress.

But on the other hand, the executives of the Emilia Division on the side who dropped the fortress had a humble attitude.

Commander, Emilia Silesia...

"Mostly because of Mr. Yuzef's accomplishments."

I never claimed my merit by saying that.

And Captain Maya Krakowska, who commanded the Fortress Entry Unit.

"In the end I couldn't do anything..."

And I said it with a slightly shombolished face.

Major Sarah Marinovska of the Third Cavalry Regiment is

"You didn't show up in the first place."

While he was unfaithful, he seemed to be heartily pleased that Yuzef's operation worked well and took the fortress.

Supply Staff Captain Rasdwav Novak is

"Use whatever supplies you want! Remember to say" save "a little bit!

Killeen, although there is also a delightful scream that his burden involved has increased because he was able to receive the supplies that were left in the fortress.

And Major Yuzef Waresa, operational staff, who is also a useful actor in the seizure of the fortress,

"This operation was a failure"

I said, I was in denial of my merits. This was due to the reflection that the number of war deaths and injuries in the Emilia Division was higher than previously assumed that there would have been a "less victimized way".

Still, many will appreciate him as a merit first.

But there were more depressed than Maya and Yuzef.

That is Fine von Linz, who makes himself a spectator martial officer from the Ostmarc Empire and has an intelligence staff kind of mission.

---

Mr. Feene is looking strange.

While His Highness Emilia and others were looking at the fortress they had seized, and Mr. Maya was restructuring his troops, I just finished one major operation, so I was given a break between the bundles.

That's when I saw Mr. Fine with a slightly sharp look at the fortress tower overlooking the neighborhood.

At first, are you saddened by the sentiment that the Livonians have stepped foot in this Ormutz fortress built by the Ostmarc Empire for the first time in 117 years? I thought,

"Ha..."

A series of small sighs from earlier like I said, and my face is terrible. When I thought about it, I also thought that it might be impossible for her to be "delayed by emotion".

Similar to the faces I've seen in every crossno, but, well, he has a better look than that... I think. Probably. No, I don't know how it actually is because my heart is enough to say how it is.

I guess I should get this for you. Sometimes this kind of thing says, "Okay! Because I'm depressed right now!" I don't want to deal with you because it also makes sense.

But leaving it alone is going to be another hassle, and for now, let's just get this over with while Sarah goes to report to Her Highness Emilia.

"What is it, Mr. Feene? Just now."

"... Major. There's nothing there."

That's a lie!

This guy tastes like he's lying! Probably.

"If there's anything, it'll help, won't it?

When an officer has a depressing look on his face, it has a lot of impact on his men. Show me your smile just now. That's how light I asked.

"I'm the one who wanted to help."

"What?"

Mr. Feene's expression felt even more blocked. I think you've helped me a lot because you wanted to help.

"The Republican Army information I brought is just useless. The commander's information only revealed his name and squad chapter, and the fortress schematics constructed by our empire were sometimes partially incorrect and the occupation was delayed. After all, I couldn't do anything."

Uh, yeah, right. That's right. I don't know if you care too much... Hi, Mr. Feene. Perfectionism, right? Maybe it's affected because the Earl of Linz is too great in that respect.

"In the first place, it wasn't Mr. Feene who collected all this information, was it? Then this is in the Count's Fall..."

"It's me."

"What?"

"This is what I... No, to be precise, I instructed you to gather information and gather it together"

"Yeah, but you said there was just a restructuring of the Imperial intelligence apparatus and there's not much information, right?

When I said Sarah and I were in a mix-up fight - but they only beat me unilaterally - Mr. Feene did say that at the meeting that day he did. The information network is not being built.

"That's right. I haven't been able to build an information network, and I'm not lying. And that's the result."

That's the material Mr. Fine gave me during the Flanitze and Ormutz Fortress attacks. Information on the general of the republican army, plans for the fortress, etc.

... you mean you gathered this with inadequate information networks?

"Regardless, there is something that the Empire already held before the restructuring of the intelligence apparatus with regard to some information. For example, the fortress schematic is over 100 years old. It's my mistake to overlook the possibility of alteration."

……

No, even so, this amount of information is amazing...? I don't know how long the Empire has been collecting information about the Republic, but there's no way I can gather this much information overnight.

Maybe surprisingly quickly, her intelligence arm may exceed that of Count Linz.

I'm glad we're not enemies, and I don't want to turn them around......

"Ha... unlike Major, you haven't"

But her self-esteem remains low. I can't decide if it's uplifting or too negative.

"............... Well, I like that"

I just said such an appropriate thing without knowing how to comfort her, and all I had to do was stand next to her and watch the view from the fortress watchtower for a while.

I can't imagine Ms. Feene talking about these problems in public until a few months ago. If it had been before Crosno's array, I would have ended up saving stress inside again.

Well, I guess we'll sort it out to some extent at the point that you told me. I often say that the problem will be solved when it is revealed.

---

On the other hand, there was another female figure in the watchtower. From Yuzef and Fine, it was a blind spot, and she just disappeared and listened.

That face definitely had a more depressing look on it than Fine standing on the watchtower. But no one will ever know what she thought she was there. Except for one, though.

And the only exception to that was standing beside her at some point.

"... Sarah."

Called her name, for the first time she realizes its existence and calls the name of the person.

"What's wrong, Emilia?"

Emilia suppresses her voice, gets even closer without making footsteps, and just tells her one word.

"Let's talk. Just a little."

Sarah accepted it and left the watchtower without Yuzef and the others noticing.
