Oneiros Plains.

That is where the Glenvarga and Gardis empires - arguably the buffer zones of the two empires. There are also several small forests and a vast plain with streams flowing. It is such a fertile earth that it is the stage on which countless battles have ever been waged.

But it was used as a stage of war because it was at the midpoint of both countries. Assuming one country implants, the other will ravage it. Neither country was able to get their hands on it because the military had no means to protect it, but there was no reason to keep protecting it forever.

It was thus used as a buffer zone despite being a fertile earth.

And there were currently countless tents and tents on the Glenvarga Empire side of such Oneiros plains. It belongs to those who are engaged in a war where the end of the war has been opened this year.

"That's a lot of people again. Is this all the stuff of the people who participated in this war?"

In the meantime, I'm on a hill overlooking the Oneiros Plains.

I was hoping to stop by Rio, the escort, to check on the current situation.

"We're mobilizing 60,000 people into this war. Including non-combatants, it could be 100,000."

Rio told me to get out of the carriage and see the battlefield.

The enemy nations have the same number of forces.

"This one will be ravaged if we don't have the same number of enemies."

The Gardis Empire needs to concentrate its forces only on this battlefield, because the Glenvarga Empire is the only one bordering.

But the Glenvarga Empire, which also borders other countries, does not. Previously, we fought in critical numbers because we had to concentrate on other battlefields, and we stayed to stop the spread of damage.

That has now allowed me to build friendship personally with the western country, and the east is rattled, so it's better to just leave a minimum of fighting power behind.

For this reason, almost all of the power of the Glenvarga Empire was now gathered.

"If you can, I don't want to leave this problem with Guardile."

The knight of the escort is always nearby because he is an emperor.

But this is a beautiful place. Because of the low risk of sniping, Rio can keep his distance from the escort and tell a personal story.

"Gardill, how are you?

"Oh, I'm fine. Plus, I've been seriously trying to build my body lately."

"At that age?

However, it should have only been like two and a half years old.

"Even at that age, you're the next emperor. I used to build my body as I entertained it. Until now I've been playing for the purpose of having fun, but now I'm moving my body for the purpose of being strong"

There was a complaint that I decided to use at that time.

"I can't beat your Sierra," he said. "I'm gonna work on it."

That was so humiliating to you, Guardil, to be bogged down from Sierra.

She complained about using her child's jealousy, but now she seems to be taking the initiative because she can fish.

"As far as I'm concerned, I'm very anxious."

Can we fulfill it and become a couple in the future in such a relationship?

"If that happens, Sierra won't be HR, so I agree with you that you want to do something about this war."

However, national and national issues.

I'm just an adventurer. There's nothing I can do. More than that, you shouldn't do anything to stay an adventurer.

"Were you here"

A soldier on a horse approached me looking at a place that would be a battlefield from the top of the hill.

The military man off the horse is young, inside the battlefield and wrapped in white armor. Let it hold a refreshing image somehow.

"I picked you up today because you're coming here."

"I thought you said you didn't need a pick-up, General Holkes."

General Holkes.

A soldier of civilian origin who climbed up to the General at an unusual speed with recognition of his previous achievements by Rio's recommendation. Formerly only in a position to be exploited from aristocratic military personnel who had no strength because of their civilian origins, a system was created in which decent military personnel were legitimately valued by the exclusion of aristocrats by the cutting of Rio.

Now he pledges allegiance to Rio and unfortunately demonstrates his strength.

"We don't know what's going to happen on the battlefield."

"This is within the Glenvalga Empire."

"No, this is also a battlefield. A place where enemy intelligence can easily infiltrate is no different from a battlefield. It's possible they're still peeking in here."

"Is our national intelligence system so fragile that it can't prevent the infiltration of enemies"

"That's not why. Above all else in war is information. They won't hate any means to get information that gives them an edge."

It's the role of spies to slip through no matter how alert you are.

Worst of all, we can't throw out the possibility that a spy with assassination abilities will move to assassination, taking the Emperor's inspection as an opportunity. With only minimal escorts, it also seems like food for outfits now.

"An escort would be fine. There's this guy."

I bow my head where Rio introduced me.

"... what about him?

I'm turning a surprise eye.

You don't look like a soldier from my outfit or my gear. Adventurers who are not affiliated with mercenaries or specific organizations that may become enemies as well as allies depending on their rewards are not credible from a serious military perspective.

Most importantly, it's a case of no credible merit.

"This is Mars, the A-rank adventurer in the Kingdom of Metis. The hero who saved our empire from the Carthaea, who temporarily put it in peril."

"From that giant turtle!?

Surprised, with joy, General Holkes takes my hand and shakes it with a boom.

"I wasn't actually here to see it, but my colleague told me on my return to Imperial Capital that it was quite a dead place. Besides, I have also been told that without you, the Empire would definitely have perished!

Apparently it was passed on quite exaggerated among the military, and he was pleased to know it was him.

"I'm not going to be weak enough to be a spy. Even if it's an escort, I'm not gonna lose to the guys out there with this guy."

"... I can snort at that word. But it's also possible in case. Your Majesty should be more aware of his position."

"Ooh..."

Rio wandered under a strange intimidation from General Holkes.

"So, what happened?

"Nothing in particular. But I wanted to welcome His Majesty himself because he was on an inspection."

"You don't have to worry about that."

"That's not why! His Majesty is the Savior to me. You can't just not entertain me."

"It's really okay as usual."

"Then you'll be fine."

Relax and face the battlefield.

"We have been calm lately without any major clashes. It looks the same as usual, so we'll have to fight a few more fights and settle down again this year."

At the end of your gaze is a plain of serenity.

This would be rough if the war started.

"Is it possible to send this guy over there if it's so calm?

"I think it's possible if you have the strength to listen. I'm going to show you one of the infiltration routes that my army knows."

"Is that okay?

The infiltration route is supposed to be the most important information for spies.

"I don't have a problem with one or so. It's cheap if you can repay the savior of your country to that extent."

He laughs like he thinks that from the bottom of his heart.

This needs to be rewarded in some way apart from Rio.

"What's the specialty over there?

"Specialty, is it? Right...... I've heard the wine tastes good. If you'd like to bring me a souvenir, I'd like a glass of wine."

That's an excellent general.

He's taking good care of my intentions.

"Okay."

I don't know how to tell a good wine. But if you ask Melissa, a liquor lover, for wine, you can't go wrong.

"So, to our army's tent... hmm?

A general who notices something sees the battlefield again.

"Assault......?

A large number of people were seen rushing at the same time from those in the Gardis Empire.

"That can't be right. Even the other soldier is good, so you know there's no point in reckless assault..."

The sight of a large number of humans rushing only appears to be the army launching an assault.

But there is something decidedly different about the assault. Though he may not look like a normal human being, to our eyes he seems to be running, not only armored military men, but even ordinary people dressed in dull clothes.

That's not an assault to attack.

"Running away from something...?

It is natural to think so.

"Ho, it's a report!

A soldier driving a horse approached me confused by what was going on on on the battlefield.

It looks more like a report to General Holkes than a report to Rio from the way a knight who was nearby as an escort tried to stop him only for a moment.

"The Gardis Empire is... devastated!
