Zirconia Empire, First Army. A third of all troops in the Zirconian army were stationed at that military site, which separated the Kingdom of Lazennaia from the canal replacing the border.

The past form was due to the end of the attack on the Fortress of Isle Rose to failure, as well as to the intensification of the battle against the sub-ethnic groups in the northern mountainous areas, which is a long-standing threat to Zirconia, and the people of the 'End Forest', which extends into the west, and the need to crack down on soldiers.

Alejandro Frasbel, one of the 'tri-wing generals' at the top of the Zirconian army, had to return a thousand of the remaining five thousand troops to the centre. That also means that one hundred of his men will leave under the command of ten.

The remaining force strength is four thousand - Alejandro's available information still exceeds that of Fortress Isle Rose. But if we were to attack and defeat a robust fortress, ideally, we would have wanted 10,000 troops.

Still, Alejandro, until yesterday, was convinced of the victory, even in this situation.

At the core of his tactics was the magician who visited him as an emissary from Lazennaia like no other - an ambush using her magic was a success, and even if it ended in defeat, Alejandro believed that a better use of magical power would allow him to drop the fortress.

"Guh... uhh..."

"Please, General... calm your anger, Leda will die as it is!

Among the largest curtain buildings in the camp, Alejandro had his subordinate's neck hoisted with both hands, just finishing the report. After his men stare emotionally at him scratching, he throws him off the spot.

On the roof of the curtain hall, there is a sound of rain pounding on the roof. In this rain sound, no other soldier will notice what is being done here.

"Ha, ho..."

"I said bring Noin back. The magician can't stay away from me... it's impossible to find him. Why would you lie like that?

"I, myself, lie, etc... Lord Noyne is nowhere in the fort, and one military ship disappears... ahhh...!

After Alejandro's kick, a soldier called Leda blows up. Another man - an old deputy who assists Alejandro - stands before Leda, who falls on the ground and bleeds, trying to shelter him.

"No more, forgive me......! If you mean to kill Ledda, slay me!

"... deputy general... which..."

Leda's armor is broken clasp, torn beneath it, and her skin is exposed. Most Zirconian soldiers are men, but heavy soldiers, responsible for communications and transport from the rear, may also be served by women - Leda was one of them.

Alejandro is not aware of gender differences if he is a soldier, whether he is a man or a woman. But Lieutenant General Richardo was a man who would not cut it off thoroughly.

"It's Richardo. What do you think of the current report?

"Lord Noyne... the loss of a combat magician means we cannot use tactics that rely on magic..."

"No magician exists in Zirconia more useful than that. In a situation where no magician has been dispatched to the Isle Rose Fortress and we have a magician, we would have been able to drop that fortress without bitterness... I wonder why that didn't happen"

Before Alejandro questioned me, Richardo had also noticed. The archer's bow suddenly became unusable and impossible to eject - the reason for this is never poor bow maintenance, etc.

"It is believed that the Fortress of Isle Rose has been joined by a magician. I was wondering if it was something that was already in the interception during the last phase of the attack..."

Noyne's whereabouts are unknown and magicians are added to the enemy army. If that fact were passed on to the soldiers, it would significantly lower morale.

Alejandro punished Leda, and even now that he has confirmed his army's disadvantage, he still doesn't put something on the table that is roughly emotional. Richardo has been a deputy for a long time, but he never saw a general of this young man's age move even slightly in the war.

- That Alejandro accidentally distorts the edge of his mouth. Richardo remembers his wars and confronts a young general with white hair and ash eyes, sweating cold.

"The disappearance of Noine and the magician who joined the Isle Rose... have something to do with these two. Richardo, do you understand what I'm trying to say?

"Huh... yes... I understand. If we can get rid of enemy magicians, we still have a chance here. I was wondering if the enemy magician knew about the location of the noise... because he is the magician who knows the threat of the magician"

"... from the fort pointing at Noine, Bayle is also disappearing. In any event, it is assumed that the man was unwilling to cooperate with us. As a Raisennaire invading army commander, he applies treason for Bayle. Even if we were alive, we wouldn't have to think about rescuing them."

Alejandro was going to send Noyne to cage Bail, who was in command in the west fort that served as the shipyard.

Alejandro is not interested in women, but he understands how Noine is viewed by the men. The magnificent Richardo only looked at him like his daughter, but Bayle only looked at him once and used the obvious color on Noyne.

Alejandro thinks it was a cheap means. But I also thought that if they took it away, they'd just have to take it back.

"If Noyne is robbed by enemy forces, no one can see 'that'. 'That' is tied to a contract accepting only my orders"

Alejandro only sees humans like pawns - not always in such an attitude, but sometimes in front of Richardo he shows the truth.

"It is also possible that Noyne infiltrated the enemy forces himself. If Noyne, who was a citizen of Lazennaia, offered to cooperate, he wouldn't suspect the enemy."

"... right. But even if I don't, I'm not just gonna end it."

Even if you leave the soldiers, leave claw marks. Alejandro was not undefeated - even if defeated, he has left a wound on his opponent that leads to his next victory, until he climbs up to the General.

So 'raven'. Alejandro is called by its alias because he has stood on the death of countless of his men, feeding on it and winning at the end.

(... When the General strikes Aylrose again, he eliminates the magician... softly, he will come thinking of even recapturing Noyne. If that's done, I'm leaving this camp once and for all. recourse from His Majesty and other generals should be minimal, even if sacrifices were made to eliminate magicians)

So much so that Zirconia sees the Lazennaia magician as a threat. There are also magicians in Zirconia, but there was no one more powerful than a combat magician, and there are no training institutions like Lazennaia, so it was something like whether or not they could be of some use in backward support.

"Once again, the magician of Isle Rose must appear. Don't miss the slightest anomaly."

"Ha. To the soldiers, as such..."

- It was the moment Richardo answered.

With the sound of the tympanic membrane shaking, the ground, and the curtain shaking. The barracks become noisy and Alejandro leaves the curtain building with his sword.

Richardo does not follow immediately, but approaches Leda, who is falling and lying on the ground.

"... Dear Richardo... I..."

"Don't say anything. His Excellency Alejandro will lose his legs if he returns to the centre like this. But as long as the enemy magicians are brought down, they may not be."

Richardo tries to cause Leda, but Leda refuses to help and gets up herself. It's tedious, but the glow of my eyes hasn't gone away.

"... if I serve the magician, my uncle... can I replace that man...?

To Ledda's words, Richardo looks back behind him. There's no way Alejandro's going back out of the curtain - I just hear voices coming from the outside.

It was out of my mind that this camp could be attacked by enemies. Alejandro was convinced that Lazennaia would not issue an attack order, and he was working out measures accordingly.

Richardo had also sensed that Alejandro had an insider in Lazennaia. That's why I was beginning to wonder that it would continue to be the position of a deputy - that it goes to the enemy, hopefully winning, but when it loses, it becomes such a steep point that it would be considered a war criminal.

"You can only ask for opportunities. If we can find a magician, then... don't kill Noyne, we must capture him wherever possible."

When Ledda nodded, Alejandro called. Richardo goes outside the curtain building. In the pouring rain, black smoke was rising from the barrier on the eastern side of the military.

The fire has already been extinguished, but the damage has been enormous - the wooden barrier has been extensively destroyed and one of the * has been destroyed.

"This... what the hell..."

"A military ship appears on the canal, shelling from the east! Supposedly by cannon!

"Don't be silly, cannons and other things that can be used! In this rain......!

Richardo is exorbitant, but Alejandro is not moving. Calling the soldiers of the missionary order, making them ring the bell, stopping the confused soldiers from moving.

"- Tow them with stone throwers and crossbows against military ships. Don't make me use any more cannons!

"Eh... My lord, if a soldier lands from a military ship, he will be allowed to break into the military!

"That prediction is what the enemy is after. If that's a positive move, where does the enemy come from... the plains to the west"

"Then... tell the whole army! Get out through the main entrance and form a formation as soon as you're ready to launch! The Lazennaia Army is coming from there..."

It was the moment when Richardo tried to give instructions - from "The North Side of the Army," he heard the screams of the soldiers.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack. Ooh! Already, already, enemy troops circle north, from the hills... ugh, guh...!

From the sky, an arrow pours - not a shooter has descended from a military ship.

Despite constant lookout for all directions, enemy forces are circling behind the barracks. Even if disputed by the rain, such a march should have been absolutely impossible.

"- General Alejandro!

Alejandro crosses over to his beloved horse, who was nearby, to the main entrance of the military, so that he can be thrust and moved.

The rain, which seemed to pound, starts to rise. Alejandro finally realizes that this rain was caused by magic - that Noin is hostile to himself.

"- Wow!

"Yikes, when did you come out...... ugh, ugh!!

A watch on the main entrance raises a crying voice. Alejandro felt like a curse as the black clouds broke and the sun came through between them.

- The main entrance is broken through with a broken castle hammer. Beyond the wreckage of the destroyed main entrance, the soldiers of Alejandro and Zirconia saw a nightmarish sight.

What you see are the soldiers of the Lazennaia in formation and the flags that hang in the sky.

"... Astina... Lazennaia..."

In the fury of the confused soldiers, Richardo, caught up with Alejandro, did hear the whine.

General Sword Princess has turned to the offensive. As soon as the rain went up, the Knights of Isle Rose, who suddenly appeared, had already completely besieged the Zirconia military camp.
