"... if you're not kidding, go report it to your boss."

It was easy to hear that Gunter finally squeezed his voice out of his throat, frustrated by anger and weakness, but managed to keep his voice from being absurd.

The vice captain of the white beard slightly distorted his face, but walked his horse back to the line at the same leisurely speed as when he came without saying anything. I stopped by the captain on the horse, but he probably doesn't look like he heard my orders in that way.

I ordered the man to tell the captain what he had heard. I have no place in the castle fort of Jugfena, but being an Arxian nobleman with the title of Viscount does not change whether it is in the castle fort of Jugfena or in the land of the Principality of Denzel.

"... My lord, you're such a busy son of a bitch that when I get back to the castle, I'll turn you in."

"Be my guest."

It was easy to tell once again that Gunter was in the lowest mood, even though he was getting more and more filthy at all times.

I remember Gunter being in this state every day right after I was thrown into the barracks last year.... I didn't have to get killed much. On the contrary, it is now enough to serve as an escort right next to it. It is difficult for people to change their minds and minds to exhaust their tongues.

─ ─ Maybe they also turned into good men by cutting something off. My kill, my family.

Now that I've lost my words like a change of heart, such thoughts erupt from the depths of my enclosed mind somewhere. I'm the one who trumpeted that possibility and trumpeted the existence of them.

... That's not what I'm thinking right now. Giri, when I unraveled the sound that was biting my back teeth, I noticed something trembling behind my ear.

"... Gunter, can't you hear anything"

"Now what? I'm not as young as you are, but my ears and eyes aren't that good..."

He is a man who says things that are frightening, even though he is still in his critical twenties. I still keep my consciousness focused and my ears clear, so I put it down without saying anything.

"... of horses, the sound of hooves?

Do you have any idea where we're going?

"You know what, you're gonna think of me as a beast or something, you fucking kid"

The rumbling Gunter said angrily was limited to this occasion. Anyway, nobody else is listening. Nevertheless, this man, even if he can't stand the thought of himself as a beast, the way he treats old people has changed around that he wants it from him. I didn't think I'd ever discover a new side of a man who was my subordinate by being my own mentor who would be a long relationship in the future.

Claudia would know.

I was wondering if you could be with her.

That too, I nodded and tried to get my ears done again. The vibrations that echo in the back of your ear do sound like the sound of a bunch of horses running together if you ask them to be. And there was no way I could tell which way it was coming from.

"Dear Hall!

There, Paul, who was serving you in the Central Army, runs back. He's not working out properly as a soldier for what he is an apprentice, and he's not even short of breath.

"You're really fast."

"Thank you. Uh, Knight Elgnard wants you to come to the center."

The brow root wrinkled at the instructions returned to Paul.

You're asking me to leave the army?

"... Okay, let's go"

But if you want to come, you have to go. Elgnard is better off, both in his identity and his position at Castle Fort. Besides, riding alone is also the quickest way for me to go.

"Gunter, I'll temporarily entrust the marching commander. Paul, get in the back. I'll take you as a conductor."

"What, I'm your horse?

"Hurry up."

Paul is an apprentice soldier trained as a future horseman. Otherwise, there's no way they're gonna let you pull a horse's reins.

I glanced at him bewildered, in a panic, but he still jumped behind me dangerously and lightly.

I found the soldiers terribly nervous as to whether there was some confusion in the center. It's filled with heavier air than when we were waiting in front of the walls before we left.

"Dear Elgnard, I heard you were calling."

"Oh, Viscount Cardia. I'm glad you're here soon."

Arranging the horses, rude, he was lifted from his armpit by a voice and forced to move the horses.

Suddenly I was surprised by what, but a very small voice came down from above me and convinced me that it was because of information regulation.

Paul next door seemed like a cup full of horses suddenly entrusted with the reins. My horse is shaking his head restlessly, like I did before my birthday.

"I'm sorry."

"No, so, what's the story?

"We redirected the right wing and let it go southwest as it unfolded. I hear horse hooves from earlier. There's a bunch of horses running nearby. I was told by you that maybe the Denzels would do something bolder."

Now that we're headed east from Fort Yugfena, does deploying troops to the southwest mean the enemy is alert to slip through the south side of this army and break into the country?

This area gets lower altitude as it southerns. It is also staged like a shelf, so if the Denzel army is taking a fairly southern route, it may not visibly hang on the opponent. If the Denzel side is really going west, it's definitely going down the southern lowlands.

Further south down Fort Yugfena draws a line of defense in the moat and fence, but it's not something you can't cross if you want to. Soldiers of the Yugfena Castle Fort, who normally watch, are also joining the march today, and soldiers of the guard pack in the Castle Fort.

However, beyond the defensive line lies the Forest of Demons, home to Warcraft and Demons. There is also a reason why the security is thinner than others.

You need tens of thousands of soldiers to break through the woods and break into the land where people live.
