Continental Hero Senki

Allow the calendar to be traced back a bit.

"I can't let Salonica die."

"Even if it's strategically wrong, is it?"

"Yes, Your Highness."

Compared to the Aegean Sea, the western battleground Acropolis and the central battleground Salonica, where heavy fighting ensued, the eastern battleground Hurmanli had an odd war going on. Ostmarc Christ The two armies just stare at each other, they can't cross swords. Only a very small and brief battle between the scouts can be waged.

In the meantime, it was on 18 September that the report "Enemy attack on Salonica" was brought to Major General Tiberius Anatolicon and Lt. Gen. El Terme stationed in Harmanli.

There has been subtle air between these two since.

El Terme, a former commander of the Salonica Garrison Guard, suggests turning too much force into the South to think of his men.

Tiberius, however, fears that in that case the eastern battlefield side will be neglected and breached by the Ostomark army. Hurmanli is originally Ostomark territory, except if that makes it to Edirne, the Second Reich of Christ, or Miklagard, the country's largest city, more threatened.

"I don't have enough equipment to abandon my men. Please, just me. Permission to leave the front."

"... but isn't your official dangerous?"

Lieutenant General Terme has not damaged his loyalty to Tiberius by a single molecule. Likewise, however, his love for his men has not been compromised by a single atom.

After a painful ordeal, he decided to head to Salonica. With the knowledge that Salonica is precisely the place of death for the Terme Brigade, which is sealed off at sea and unsatisfactorily supplied and has insufficient fighting power.

"... ok. At the will of Lieutenant General Terme.... No, you are originally a higher human being. You don't have to ask my permission."

"Your Highness..."

To Tiberius' words, Terme lowered his head deeply and tried to thank him. But Tiberius says something outrageous about blocking Terme's mouth.

"But we can't just let you go. I will accompany you to Salonica."

"Become...!? So, but, Your Highness!

"This is the minimum condition. I won't make you say no. This is the order of the Emperor Anatolicon as a human being."

…………

Tiberius watched Terme more than his ministers to the point that Tiberius' had ever said that he was not happy to be the Emperor of Anatolicon.

Terme doesn't regret going to a dead place called Salonica, and he's not supposed to.

But you can't risk Tiberius, Terme.

Tiberius begins to prepare steadily as his heart swings between his men and his master.

"Let Lieutenant General Terme continue to lead the brigade. I'll leave the remaining division to Brigadier General Ceferis."

But something unexpected happened to Tiberius. Moreover, it came not from Lieutenant General Terme, but from Brigadier General Ceferis, who was supposed to take over command of the division, and from those who went from officers of the division under him to corporals and junior soldiers.

"My lord. No, my lord. I go to Salonica with His Highness Tiberius and His Excellency Lieutenant General Terme!

When Ceferis says so to Tiberius, the officer beside him responds to it as well.

"The dwarf will make his heart the same as the Brigadier General!

"Me too!

"Let me go, Your Highness!

We all began to pledge our allegiance to Tiberius.

From the commander of the Armored Heavy Cavalry Regiment (Catafract) to the unnamed Infantry Platoon, to the Heavy Soldier.

Before that vow, Tiberius raged before surprise.

"Idiot! You must be soldiers of the flourishing Central Army (Tagma)! If so, it is incumbent upon His Majesty the Emperor to pledge allegiance, to keep this place dead, and thus to be the shield of the Empire. If you are saying you will renounce this, be prepared for a military law conference for all crimes against life!

Tiberius exclaimed that if Hurmanli was broken through and the Ostomark army crossed the border, it should be the innocent people of Christ who would be sacrificed. But his men don't listen. On behalf of, Ceferis argues against Tiberius.

"Your Highness. I, at last, have forsaken my loyalty to the Empire, and to His Majesty the Emperor. The guys at the Jingu Palace (Hagia Sofia) don't come forward, they just interfere with His Highness to give it to you. But His Highness still did not complain and fought for the Empire. I decided to follow His Highness Tiberius like that!

Before the power of Seferis' words, Tiberius was slightly deflected. Did you aim for that gap, Ceferis hangs the pursuit of loyalty?

"If you say that this allegiance is a sin, I will resign from the army and fight with you as an individual, as just Theo Ceferis!

Seferis said so, pulling off a class chapter representing "Brigadier General of the Central Army" attached to his collar and slamming him to the ground. His enthusiastic words and actions become contagious to his subordinate divisions.

"Yes, the Brigadier General is right!

"Everybody, I'm going to write a resignation!

"Take off your class chapter and pledge your loyalty to Your Highness!!

It didn't take a minute for this, arguably some kind of mass frenzy, outrage to pass on to the entire division. This also has trust and loyalty to Tiberius, but above all there is no denying that distrust of the central government had overshadowed them.

As long as the central government continued to harass and obstruct Tiberius, its wrinkles spread to junior soldiers and even to the citizens of the surrounding cities. There is no way in this situation that what Tiberius calls "loyalty to the Empire, to His Majesty the Emperor" and so forth will occur.

And Lieutenant General Terme, who saw this enthusiasm, stripped the chapters of rank from his collar, and even the medals from his uniform, beating them to the ground and crushing them.

"... I agree with their words, too. Let us pledge our permanent loyalty to His Highness, El Terme."

"Lieutenant General Terme......"

History and Tiberius were greatly moved by their emotions, which were neither rational nor vague.

".................. ok. Everyone's life, I'll keep it."

It is on 22 September 638, at 1430 hours of the Continental Calendar.
