morning of November 4, 423, continental calendar. Operation Invasion into the Idra Empire was activated.

Soldiers cross the border one river after the other, choosing less popular places.

They say there are big demons out there a lot along the river, but they just weren't alert to the hustle and bustle (which seems to be) stood by 20,000 soldiers or showed up.

Neither did the enemy seem to have discovered it, and the crossing (or something like that) went well and by noon all the armies had crossed the river.

From here on out, the troops marching towards the Imperial Capital will quickly set up a formation and set off.

The border fortifications (by the way) and the small cities and villages dotted along the river are left to the 10,000 residual troops, and we hurry to the Imperial Capital anyway.

It is Eina's policy that the faster you go, the more you poke at the enemy's void.

...... 14 November on day 10 across the border. The march is well under way.

According to Eina, by now, on the imperial side, the early horses have delivered enough information to the imperial capital. The time lag around here is huge because the transmission by horses is the fastest means of communication in the world.

Even when the former Kingdom of Markham was invaded by the Kingdom of Sidal, it took more than 10 days for the information to reach the mine.

I recall the delay in responding thanks to it and the evacuation became critical.

Like Rhina, who put me behind a horse then and pulled a spare horse and ran, there are now ex-Idra Imperial Cavalry prisoners running around us with infantry on board and pulling another horse.

collar of slaves worn on their necks. When I asked Eina if she had been able to collect 10,000 pieces in this short period of time even though she had abolished Elf slavery, there was nothing wrong with it, it was the collar I had ordered before.

Before I asked the church to issue a subordinate deportation order. To prevent them from selling collars by killing elf slaves, they ordered 10,000 pieces and flushed them to the second-hand market before the expulsion order was issued, slamming the price.

They deported the elves and demand dropped dramatically, so 10,000 remained mostly intact in the warehouse.

It is something that we do not know what will help us in the world...

The march to the Imperial Capital is quite forcible, but we are specially given one carriage, so the burden of travel is not so much.

In the beginning I looked out the window and was impressed by the magnificence of the meadows and wilderness that spread as far as I could see, but I got tired of seeing it every day for exactly 10 days.

Anyway, go, go, go. They all have the same landscape, so I sometimes wonder if it's really going properly.

There are small settlements along the road that would combine supply and rest stops, but there was no one there to tell us about us.

Naturally, there is nothing like food. The only thing that draws enemies in is the usual tactics over there, which seem familiar.

On the other hand, there was contact between the nomads and the peripheral troops, and they tried to negotiate and they sold 200 sheep as food.

It felt unexpected, but nomads who travel freely through the prairies may have a rare sense of belonging to the state.

Whoever they are, if they buy us livestock and sell us the supplies we need, that seems fine.

Perhaps it is because of such ethnicity that a large number of captive Idra Imperial soldiers are cooperating here.

As we proceeded through the wilderness, rivers flowing south from the Great Mountains of the North appeared every few days, but were shallow with little water, so it was not an obstacle to the march.

It replenishes the water every time it hits the river, but just this season it's cold and impossible to take a bath in the water.

I also suggested to my sister to go back to the mine and wait before she left, but she still refused to give me advice, so I also had to ask her to put up with this life of not taking a bath.

For once, I boil a cup of hot water and wipe my body when I prepare a meal.

By the way, the captives of the Idra Empire, who have finished their service, are sequentially freed when resting in the river.

The river is also where nomads come to feed their livestock with water, so it's easy to rendezvous.

When such a scarce (and absurd) march to tension lasted too long 20 days, a kite (octopus) with a red cloth tied to "Enemy Reconnaissance Force Discovery" was inadvertently raised from the peripheral unit on the left.

Nerves run on the soldiers around us, but they never stop marching as planned.

Unless the main enemy force shows up, but it's a scout's policy to go through.

There was no further movement that day. Even after the next day, the red cloth only occasionally went up, and the black cloth of the enemy's main discovery never went up.

For information-sharing... it's a name, I'll probably ask Eina, who's coming to our carriage to replenish her sister, what she cares about.

"We talked about a 2,000-strong unit that's likely not to be attacked, but if we find a bunch of them, aren't they?

In fact, reports of enemy reconnaissance team discoveries come from most of the units in the outer perimeter.

"If you find out there are as many as 10 units in all, you'll attack them. But perhaps more than one reconnaissance team is just discovering and reporting the same unit. You'll decide that even if there's more than one, it's two or three units at most.

That's why all the peripheral units are in the same formation, and we can't report exactly where we found them in a meadow without such a target. That's what you won't notice unless you use balloons to look out of the sky. "

"Oh, I see..."

And as Eina proved correctly, the enemy's main unit did not show up in the end, and the reconnaissance unit's contact gradually decreased.

Perhaps the enemy's main force headed backwards in search of a phantom main unit and a supply unit.

The situation went perfectly as planned by Ms Eina, on 4 December, 30 days after crossing the border. Without a single battle, all 10 units rendezvoused on the outskirts of the Imperial City.

Really, Eina, I'm scared......

Arriving on the outskirts of the Imperial Capital, the Expeditionary Army quickly forms a foundation to raise the balloon and stretch a thread of kousenchos around it to prepare for an enemy attack.

I was with Ayna and the others on the first balloon to scout the Empire from above...
