Earl Anderson and his chiefs convened all the major members of the North for a long time.

“I'm sure you've heard the story. ”

“Of course. Is it true there are thousands? ”

First of all, Yurius is the most senior person here. He looks surprised and is questioned by the Marquis.

“Indeed. There is a good chance that the greatest war in the North will follow after the Empire." ”

And the prince carefully asks him what he really is.

“Even the Barbarians of the North are never a worthy foe in unity. What would the Crown Prince like to do? ”

This meant a lot to me.

Yurius came to this far north for the greatest reason, of course, to build a legacy. But the story differs when it spreads into a major war.

The burden is too much to make a man who is a prince run on the front lines of the war.

‘If reinforcements come from the Central Knights later, it is not too late to join the Crown Prince at that time. ’

Of course, the Marquis never thought he would accept this when he saw the march or character of Yurius.

"He is a strong person who cares about the people who preach the Prince. I'm worried about how to convince him. ’

“Hmm……. ”

Looking at Yurius, who seems to be deeply troubled, the prince is anxious and waiting for an answer.

‘Please just bear with me for a month. Just for a month... ’

That should give us enough time for reinforcements to arrive from the capital.

The Marquis also made this offer because he cared a lot about Yurius.

‘I want you to have enough discipline. But if you let me jump in at the most dangerous time and get into any trouble, I will never see the Emperor again. ’

It also comes from loyalty to the Marquis of Badlands.

“Hmph!”

Yurius sighs once and answers.

“I know the erl has offered such an offer for my sake. Actually, I'd like to go to the front right now. ”

The inside of the Marquis and the Chamberlain suddenly bursts into flames.

‘Your Highness, please……. ’

“But!”

Yurius shakes his head as if he had no choice.

“I don't think I've caused trouble for the erl and the chiefs. The Avama who sent me wouldn't want that either. ”

“ ……!? ”

“I'll wait in the rear, according to the baron. But if you have something to do with me, must you leave it to me? ”

The baron and the chief of staff admire the unexpected response.

‘Indeed, the Crown Prince is not an ordinary man. ’

‘Suppressing young blood pressure at that age won't be easy. I can't believe you're giving up on us... ’

In fact, if you pay attention to the protection of the prince on the front line, it is of course difficult to deploy efficient talent.

Yurius was also an outstanding commander, but never severely injured or killed as king of chess.

Rather, writing it down before troops arrive to ensure safe passage can be poisoned to allies.

Although this was a hypothesis because he did not know Yurius' strength, he accepted the Marquis's offer because he understood it well.

‘It is likely that Nua will not be on the front line for a while anyway. Watching things isn't bad either. ’

‘As expected, the first prince is worthy of His Majesty's favor. ’

The baron stares at Yurius for a moment as if he were looking at his own child, and informs him of his mission.

“Actually, I have a mission to ask the Crown Prince from the rear. ”

“What is it? Good timing. ”

Yurius sprints with a shimmer.

“If you walk down the path behind Fort Valdez, you'll know there's Castle Grimes. ”

“Defend the rear of the front. ”

Yurius, of course, readily understands.

Grimes Castle is now the only small castle that defends the passageway behind the fortress, in addition to the entrance of the Northern Mountains not far from the Valdes Fortress.

“Yes. I don't think barbarians use tactics like rear disruption much, but I'm worried they're of scale." ”

The Grand Duke says that guarding the rear is actually one of the most important tasks.

Thinking about one in the bay is one of the requirements of a good commander.

“Most of the knights who escorted you will remain so. I'll give you some military as well, so please be sure to defend yourself. ”

“Of course. Thank you for the assignment. ”

‘Phew, thank God. ’

“Then I'll decide which troops to send to the front. ”

The monarch who solves the biggest problem starts to weave the next batch of troops indifferently.

He wouldn't have a big problem guarding his own front, but the important thing was to reduce the damage.

The Marquis sent for reinforcements and a massive invasion to the capital almost simultaneously.

It's because I came without rest with a messenger as it was so urgent on the second matter.

“It is said that the movement in the north is unusual. We need reinforcements. ”

And less than two days after that, more messengers arrive.

“A massive invasion of the Barbarians began. Thousands are said to be lost! ”

The emperor had summoned all the priests to discuss the matter.

“1st Prince, why don't you bring him back? ”

“Lord Yurius is capable enough! ”

This is one of the Imperial officials.

“Enough!”

But the emperor makes a decision.

“Yurius will remain in the North. Apparently, he has his own strength as he is on a support mission in the rear, so no big deal will happen. ”

None of the officials dared to vomit on the decision made by the emperor so decisively.

“Then, let's move on to the issue of dispatching knights and troops. ”

During the course of the meeting, the emperor had not changed his expression much, but in fact he was secretly examining the Grand Duke's reaction.

A great war broke out in the North shortly after Yurius left for the North? The timing is too good. ’

Duke Wilhelm also smiles in contrition because he knows it.

‘It won't do any good to find out. ’

In fact, the gathering of the Northern Barbarians was closely related to him.

In the end, the Grand Duke also deployed his own forces to disrupt Yurius.

"Even the Barbarians, with my help, will be able to shake the empire temporarily!" ’

At this moment, the Grand Duke's confident gaze is towards the far northern mountains.

On the other hand, at the beginning of the Northern Mountains, countless tribes were gathering for the flag of the great chieftain.

“The Red Feather Tribe has joined us. ”

“We're running out of beating hearts. ”

“The Black Fighter Tribe also wants to come under the Grand Chief. ”

“Hmm.”

The man sitting on a large chair made of animal hide was being reported as pleased.

A chieftain who can unite the tribes!

What a pleasant word.

He looks away and opens his mouth.

“What do you think? Is this big enough to stand against the estramorwn beneath the mountain? ”

“I'm short without chin. ”

But a callous voice mutes it.

Although the owner of the voice appeared to be an immigrant, he only dressed in a similar outfit, but it was clear that he was not an immigrant in his behavior or tone.

“Maybe if we really helped them out? But now is not the time. ”

The man in the chair, on his adamant words, begins to complain.

“There are probably hardly any tribes around here. I've never lost a soul listening to you. ”

Guy's name is Gundar.

Only a year ago, he was only the chief of the largest tribe in the area, but since the neighboring foreigners helped him, he has been called the chief.

“I heard you said before that there are a lot of unknown strong men deep in the mountains. ”

Gundar sighs.

“It's not easy to gather such people because they are usually satisfied with their position. ”

It was the pagans who helped him expand his power so quickly, but the tribes near the mountains facing Fort Valdes felt threatened by the north development of the Empire.

However, there were many tribes who were looking at the situation casually since there was no news yet.

“I have a consultation with you about that, actually. ”

“What's going on? ”

“Actually, I was able to attract some of those tribes you mentioned. But rather they stir up chaos. ”

“ ……!? ”

Gundar began to explain.

“In fact, the tribes that live deep in the mountains tend to have many exceptional warriors, even though they are small. ”

Yes. In fact, plundering means that hunting or livestock does not provide enough food, which means that the overall level is not high.

Deep in the mountains, however, there are many monsters, both spirits and powerful monsters. Tribes trained in such places are small, but the quality of warriors is superior.

“There's a young chieftain joining us this time, and he's causing a commotion. ”

Gundar begins to recall.

“This is suicide! ”

Thirty? A young, blue-looking man comes running to him.

“I am here as the representative of these six tribes. ”

If you look at the tribes listed by him, they are all small, but there are many warriors. And it was a tribe that I didn't usually listen to very well.

“At first, I thought the beggars were gathering to make a fuss.... ”

Surprisingly, that little Nooda grabbed three or four of the warriors she had worked so hard to gather and grabbed them with her bare hands.

“Why gather all the tribes and go to war?" ”

The tribes that live deep in the mountains actually don't want conflict itself if they only protect their territory.

But Gundar was mad at them for attempting a full-scale war.

“I heard you can't count the number of estramorwn living in the plains. Do you have any idea what you're doing? ”

Gundar had nothing to say about the question. It was purely his own personal greed.

“If you help us do our job, I'll make you a loser in the North." ”

It all started about a year ago when these guys came to themselves.

Gundar was also the chief, so many of them were the best warriors nearby, but not too far apart from him.

His storm cart tribe soon emerged to be the greatest force in the mountains, supporting his tribes in their schemes.

“That's the problem. ”

‘Those barbarians are fools, so even if they play the game, they can't reconcile. ’

A foreigner ridicules his inner self and lays out the appropriate scheme.

“Didn't they say they were a minority elite? Then they can act separately. ”

“Act separately? ”

Gundar's head itself was not so discerning.

The foreigner explains in detail.

“Those who are reluctant to stand in front of us should use it in a different direction anyway." Send them across the mountains to the rear of the keep. ”

“Ah!”

Gundar, take a knee! Hit it.

“That way you can slap your enemies behind you, eliminate those who are disturbed by your allies, and it's perfect. ”

‘It's funny how much you have to explain this kind of operation. I had to, so I made a choice. ’

Demetri, a foreigner, or one of the knight's secretly raised executives, smiles quietly.
