Continental Hero Senki

It was on the morning of 9 December that the report of the fall of the Fortress of Ormutz was brought under the interim President, General Edvart Harha, in Sokolov, capital of the Republic of Karlsbert.

At that time, they said, they were holding a conference on how to end the civil war after the reign of the royalist stronghold of Carbina. For this reason many were anxious that the harh might roar and scatter.

…………

Haha, however, had some clapping sobriety as a dictator in control of a country.

Even with regard to the information on the Fortress Ormutz defect, he did not say anything that seemed to have any particular impression on his men, only that he remained silent for more than a dozen minutes.

As I watched it, I thought Harha was a person who could remain calm even at this time, and I appreciated his becoming a person. But his eyes are burning with anger, confirms Harha's deputy, who stood beside him.

"... My lord, how are you doing?

Just one officer cuts out so intolerably to the silent harha. In contrast, Harha did not even yell, but regained his cold eyes and gave instructions as the chief commander of the army.

"Abandon four of the five garrisons around the fortress. Assemble your troops in Schumperk. And Lieutenant General Dushek."

"Ha."

"Your honor would like you to lead three divisions and head to Vranov. There is no need to occupy or attack the fortress. But it would be enough if the royalists would oppress us so that we don't squeeze any more."

Copy that, sir.

As for the harha, I couldn't give any more orders.

It is not something that can be made easier, such as a re-seizure operation, than it is unclear what size the enemy is and by what means he took the fortress.

For this reason, Harha could only issue enough orders to gather residual troops from the fortress to the Schumperk garrison northwest, and to hold Vranov, whose dealings with the Ostomark Empire were active.

Harha dissolved the meeting after issuing the order. But even as his men left the room, he remained in the conference room with his deputy for a while.

And a few more minutes later, Harha asked with a suppressed voice to the deputy standing aside.

"From his country, is there nothing"

The deputy, who had some anticipation of the question, answers with clarity.

"There isn't. After that day, nothing."

"... right"

Harha exhaled a deep sigh and finally got up.

Apparently, the nationalist garrison around the Fortress of Ormutz has been abandoned. Well, that's what dropped this fortress for, otherwise I'm in trouble.

I tried sending a reconnaissance force to that abandoned garrison, but it seemed like a stuffed shell. All the supplies left behind were also burned, and there were no soldiers, not even policemen, to maintain security? This means that security mechanisms will suddenly disappear in villages and towns near the garrison.

His Majesty Karel decided to send several royalist officers to each town to create an autonomous organization to prevent a deterioration in security. Fortress Ormutz is at the heart of those autonomous organizations.

Therefore, the Royalist General Command was transferred from Carbina to Fortress Ormutz. One division stayed in Carbina to ensure the safety of the supply route, and the rest all moved to Fortress Ormutz.

The transfer of the command to Koko ensured the ease of transmission of information and command orders, but it was thought that the force would take a dispersed form….

This means that 10,000 captive national generals swore allegiance to His Majesty Karel as far as the national sect was concerned during the Franitze meeting and the Ormutz Fortress offensive strategy.

Let me share some of what Brigadier General Trayval, the most senior of the prisoners, had when he met with His Majesty Karel. By the way, I was also present as a Silesian delegate at that time.

"General Harha is certainly a man of strength. There are also metrics and talents that lead the country. But..."

"But?"

"But that one loses! Because Your Majesty is here!

As soon as he did, Traybal began his speech with a rough nose and a ghing impending feeling towards His Majesty.

"His Majesty's army broke my Baresh division in just one division, dropped the Ormutz fortress and destroyed the Kudlerček division! With His Majesty's help, there is no way General Harha can win! Be sure to let me help His Majesty in his hegemony too!

"... no loyalty to General Harha?

"Are you loyal? There isn't! I just don't need loyalty or anything to those who will be defeated generals! When I heard this fortress had fallen, I was sure. Your Majesty is the winner!

……

I remember His Majesty circling his eyes at that time. I didn't put it on my face or words, but I probably wouldn't have pulled it from the inside out.

"Your Majesty, would you please add me to your ministry!?

"... I don't mind that... but what about your men?

"It's okay. My men are not national, they are the vast majority who merely say they are obeying because they have been ordained, and no one has pledged allegiance to the Harha"

"Right...... Then there's no problem. I need your help."

"Thank you!

Thus, no more than 3,000 Republican troops fell back here under Brigadier General Trayval. Once all the officers and corporals under his command were investigated, but nothing particularly suspicious was present, so they were incorporated into the royalists.

It's a few missing stories, but I can probably trust Trayval.

Because it is unlikely that he will be a spy, given the circumstances at the time of the Franitze meeting. There's no point in letting Baresh die in battle and sending one spy to the weakest force, the Royalists, in exchange for 7,000 National Gentlemen.

Besides, he betrayed the National Order in anticipation of the Royalists winning. I mean, if we keep winning, he'll be on this side the whole time.

He thinks that possession and pride and all that stuff don't make sense before victory. People like that can be respected in many ways.

But you did, Brigadier General, because I dropped the fortress, not His Majesty.

Regardless, it wasn't just a runaway person like Trayval.

Survival of the Ormutz Fortress Defense Corps, as is Captain Nejera, who was Major General Kudlerček's deputy.

"... I want to help His Excellency Kudlerček's family out of the national sect. But I can't do that alone."

Says Mr. Nejera wasn't just taken care of by Kudler Chek and his work, he was also taken care of personally by his family. The Kudlerček was taken hostage by the national sect and eventually died in battle by its political restraints.

He wanted me to work under His Majesty Karel in order to clear up Kudler Chek's carelessness.

Regardless, His Majesty applied for Negella in summary judgment.

Not only that, but the 6,000 soldiers that followed with Nejera also swore allegiance to His Majesty Karel. Apparently Kudlerček was trusted by his men, and he won't tolerate the nationalists who indirectly made that Kudlerček a deceased.

As in Traybal, an investigation was carried out, but there was still no suspicion among them, and as a result, 6,000 survivors of the Kudrček division, together with 1,000 soldiers who stood and caged in the fortress, became royalist soldiers.

This unit, composed of prisoners, no former prisoners, became almost intact except for some replacements and replenishments, and was named the fourth division of the Kingdom of Carlsbert.

His Majesty Karel promoted Brigadier General Lelek, a royalist general, to Commander of the Fourth Division, and Brigadier General Treibal to Deputy Commander.

... Major General Lelek, I haven't talked much about it, but can I properly contain that snotty trayval? Anxiety.

Regardless, it was on 14 December that the various processes concerning the fourth division were completed. And that day, new information was brought to the Royalist Command.

Says, "Three divisions of the National Order are set out for the Vranov garrison, close to the border with the Ostmarc Empire".
