The enemy could not even reach the moat surrounding the walls, which had been wiped out by arrows in the meadows by the river.

I had never seen the power of a long bow, but the metal arrows had penetrated enemy armor and inflicted fatal injuries. The number of enemy soldiers destroyed was more than fifty - we could tell what the Zirconian army was going to do with that number if we looked at what they were going to carry.

"Cannons...... this caused a lot of damage last time. It was meant to be carried in small numbers, multiplied by darkness, to destroy the walls before we could be noticed."

Guided by the ambush, Mr. Diete orders his men to carefully scout the area. When I could make sure it was safe, I had it taken off my horse and looked around at the soldier falling around.

No survivors found. If you make the dead wild, it affects not only the enemy, but also the morale of your own army - until now, what happened after you defeated the enemy army?

That's when I casually look at the soldiers ahead and I feel uncomfortable.

"... alive... Mr. Diete, there was a survivor. Looks like he just got an arrow and couldn't move."

"Then we will take that soldier back to the fortress. I hope we can find out what this is about."

If you pull the arrow out here, the blood loss is too great. As things stand, I just need to apply blood control pills and have to operate on them when I get home.

"... what are you doing? Treatments…"

"As it is, there is a danger to your life before you take them home. If you're going to be a prisoner, you have to do the least you can."

"Right...... right. Doctor's, you're right. Excuse me, go on."

A little, Mr. Diete's complexion looks white.

Think of it, that's what happened when we got here. I was told to ride in front of Mr. Diete, but her hand holding the reins also seemed a little trembling.

"... when you say this, you may get angry. Presha also said that if you don't need it, you shouldn't have to kill the enemy soldiers."

"... I can't believe you said such a weak thing in front of a military doctor. She's still young, too."

"No, it won't even mean you'll get used to it when you get older. It's more human."

"If we are to protect our country, we should abandon such sentiments. Otherwise, one day you will lose your life."

No one else, Mr. Diete, hasn't broken it off - that's why she keeps telling herself from earlier.

Shooting through enemy forces before they approach and holding back progress. It is impossible to get arrows in this way and confirm the enemy troops that have been wiped out - so that they feel nothing and do not wear their hearts out.

As we rode the horse together, it conveyed what her heart needed. It was a flower that relieved sleepless symptoms - 'Night Forgotten Flowers (Nightflaw)'.

When you put those flowers in your bedroom, they say you'll go to deep sleep enough to forget that there was even a night. I never used it myself, but my sister-in-law recommended it to me and I was delighted.

People who put themselves on the battlefield often suffer from insomnia. Especially if you have experienced enemy attacks at night as many times as this fortress.

As Mr. Diete also descends from the horse, he approaches and picks up what the enemy soldiers were equipped with and a sword that is slipping away. The engraving on the pattern remained after it was shredded.

"Again... weapons made in our country. It was true that weapons were flowing through the enemy army..."

"Mr. Diete, have you heard from His Highness Astina? Mr. Presha told me."

"You must have taken care not to take our morale away. Neither do we, not so dull. His Royal Highness Astina, from the center...... no. neglected by some of the royal forces. Otherwise, there's no way that those who have earned their medals on the Eastern Front will be sent on to the dangerous west"

- Originally in the East, His Highness Astina was fighting. On the eastern border, the battlefield has been stable for several years, taking back once the seized territory and now he says he has a good opportunity for territorial expansion.

It should be gone by now, such as the need for the princess to stand in battle - but she has also been sent to a dangerous battlefield, accepting that order.

I felt humanly separated when I saw Her Highness because her spirituality was distinctly different from others.

Her genius was never given only for battle. Isn't its sobriety, its divinity, inherently a gift to gather, give peace and guide the people's confidence?

I'm surprised that I've only just met you and have so much worship in mind. But I think His Highness Astina deserves so much respect - as everyone in this fortress does, starting with Captain Raquel.

"There are those who call Lady Astina the 'Virgin'. That's because I can't describe her in any other language, not resenting one thing about her condition and not pointing a sword at the Lord of the plot. At the same time, being a 'sword princess general', she doesn't hate it when she waves her sword and kills her enemies. That's why we want to be weapons against our enemies in her place. Yes, we all swore."

Reminds me of Mr. Raquel, who runs under the life of His Highness Astina. I guess what she was so fierce about was coming from that oath.

"... that's strange. I thought you were still a kid who didn't feel like a student about the teacher. I've been so calm, I've told you something extra."

"... me too, I'm scared. So I'll do what I can. Could you wait over there for a moment?"

"What are you going to do?

"Leaving enemy soldiers intact can cause infectious diseases. I can prevent that. If you have something to collect, take it now."

"... a weapon of proof, etc., can be one at a time. As a tomb mark for a dead soldier, I'll leave it otherwise."

Mr. Diete's men will retrieve some undamaged weapons. The captured soldiers were put on horses and carried away. As for the cannon, it takes time to carry it, but we manage to transport it all the way inside the fortress.

As Mr. Diete watches from a little distance, I work on the spirits of the grass that filled the river plains.

Originally, you would be better at using the Spirit of the earth - returning to the earth those who lost their lives.

But plants also contribute to rendering invisible traces of battle.

"Green grass covering the earth. Respond to my call and cover the desolate lands…" Plant Grown "to promote greening"

across a wide area to promote grass growth. Covering and concealing with this may seem like a one-off, but it alleviates the impact on the land by newly prospering plants that suck up phosphorus and salt in the earth.

What is later visible is the weapon that became the enemy's tomb mark. Only swords and spears that stood on the ground will remain intact now.

"... Dr. Glass, I told you I'm from the School of Magic, but I've heard such magic... Ah...!

"Eh... su, sorry. I thought this would be okay."

In one day today, I have used magic many times. The last time I did such a big job, I knew this could happen - but I, too, need to do a little more work on my own.

Mr. Diete will take you to the clap of a near-fall. I managed to stay conscious, stood on my own feet, and away from her.

"... aren't you more imposing? Not if you're worried about us."

"Really, pitifully...... sorry for the inconvenience"

Apologizing, Mr. Diete looked embarrassed at me - but his eyes narrowed like trouble.

"As annoying as it sounds... this is where I'm going to thank you. If I were to bury you now, I'd be sleepless tonight... ah..."

"After all, you can't sleep. I know a good pill… I sometimes use it when I can't sleep, so it's guaranteed to work."

"... Kohon. Even if a woman slips her mouth, a man should shut up and miss it...... though I'd like to say. It's hard to hide your eyelids, so let me rely on you."

That's what Mr. Diete says. That smile was as pathetic as the little flower on 'Night Forgotten Flowers' - though if I said that in a true face, I would surely be laughed at even more.
