Neta Chara

Chapter 149 Crusade Order

* Gwein Perspective

"Dear Gwayne, Gertrut flipped an anti-flag against the kingdom by subordinating the Occler, Browning, Fenry and Goebbel territories in the east. They're currently attacking Lawrence territory. The eastern gods are upset. There are many gods who want to leave the kingdom."

Souven has been faintly reporting facts in a sober tone. Geltraut, who escaped after a coup d 'état in the south and wounded his brother Arborest, rearmed himself and now began to put the eastern marquis under his knees.

He has set up a new kingdom in the east called the Empire of the Divine Demons to help the beasts of Garuduro, a disturbing molecule.

"Chi! The Geltraut guy, give me back my gratitude with a complete vendetta! All his blood relatives should be executed publicly! What is the Divine Demon Emperor! He told me to hold His Majesty's authority."

Gertrut denied the existence of the Demon King altogether, named himself the Divine Demon King, and denied everything in the kingdom.

Because of him, he promoted me to general. I was starting to hear complaints leaking to me. The story reached His Majesty's ear, and today His Majesty is calling me.

"Dear Gwayne, I ask Your Majesty's permission for that procedure. If you execute Gertrut's relatives on your own now, your majesty will disbelieve you! That could jeopardize Master Gwayne's power base as well. This is a cool decision."

"Damn! You gel trout! I thought he was incompetent, stripping his fangs like people changed as soon as he flipped the anti-flag!

In fact, I was buying Gertrude's abilities until I dispatched him to the south, but I thought I'd lost him in one case in the south. But I have to certify that I have enough ability to chill on my spine when I hear about the coup noise and this Eastern offensive arm.

I also thought that my incompetence while working in the south might have been a pseudo attempt to leave me.

"I have no choice. Do you suppose that the execution of Gertrut's relatives will be left to His Majesty's adoption? Broil out the court minister who put this matter in His Majesty's ear. The last time we fought the Black Dragon Nation, some of them made it dirty for His Majesty's ears. For once, we'll have to consider cleaning the court."

"Ha! Except, recently, His Majesty has stepped up his influence over the court minister, so don't look at the impossible breakdown of personnel for a while."

"Your Majesty?

Shifa, the current Demon King, has been with Asura chiefs since he was fifteen years old, and he persuaded the leading men of the army when he took office, and the eight-part martial arts of demon king selection were also planted to take office, so he has not been able to constrain my actions until now, just ten years after taking office.

However, the last time we fought the Duchy of Black Dragon, we were also able to see proprietary actions such as acknowledging the crusade of the garrison that invaded the Duchy of Black Dragon.

My daughter, who made me dowry, tells me, 'Your Majesty trusts your father,' but if there is going to be more proprietary action, it might be easier for Sifa to take a break from her affairs and have Irmgart as her demon king's deputy. If my daughter can have a child, we must also begin revising the contents of the Eight Parts of Great Martial Arts in order to subjugate the Demon King.

"Okay. For a while we shall focus on tightening up the military forces"

"Thank you"

Since non-Ashurian officers who also criticize my recent failures are starting to come out with chocolate, I think I'll issue a HR order for those well-lived officers to fight up and die in honor on the front lines. What the army needs is not force or intelligence, but someone who can draw the will of the ruler to become a strong elite. A leader, a soldier or an officer who disobeys my will, is harmless and useless.

"Suaven. The Duchy of the Black Dragon, the South, and the Empire of the Divine Demons are all hostile to me. Don't neglect to gather information. If you have any strange movements, report them."

"Ha, the Duchy of the Black Dragon, the Divine Demon Empire is able to expand its intelligence network… but no matter how many people we send in the south, we don't see Kent Blackdagger's movement. The quality and accuracy of the information is too low"

"Did Millie do it?

"I was wondering if Miriam might be using the Dream Demon Clan to hunt the Intermittents..."

Though I think the southern Kent will be suppressed by Arborest, Arborest had given the western garrison to the unfamiliar emerging knights known as Vermillion Blades in Kent's side chambers, and merchants had told Kent that two lords, Nolan and Blindia, the few lord aristocrats in the south, offered to take a hindsight because they were toddlers.

This makes Kent one of the best grand aristocrats in the South. It seems that there is no one in the south who can suppress Kent if Arborest dies of disease or war, and independence from the kingdom seems imperative.

We have to figure out a way to sharpen Kent's forces...

"Suven, is there any good wisdom in sharpening Kent's forces?

"Dear Gwayne, why don't you take it into this side rather than sharpen the power of Lord Kent? Fortunately, Master Gwayne has three adult daughters at her disposal, so why don't you send them all in as a side room of the lady's favorite Lord Kent, disconnect them from Miriam because of the incident, and try to extract her intentions?

Suven has been insisting that I should take the three sisters I let the Sacubas have, Ferraris, Doriane and Silvana, into this side of Kent's side chamber.

It is true that my daughters only have a place to put their daughter-in-law because of the Sacubus breed, and it is a fact that they are spared, but the problem is that I will be related to Kent again. Then again, the Myriah problem was likely to further deepen the crack with Cifa.

"Oh, that's not good. Didn't Souven tell you to look at His Majesty's complexion?"

"But if you become related to Lord Kent and follow Uncle Borderline's throne as a successor to Lord Arborest, the south will be safe. If the Duchy of the Black Dragon poorly hands Lord Kent at a time when the Duchy of the Black Dragon is hostile and Gertrut is waving in the east, it will only generate further chaos!

Suven is pushing for a wedding with Kent in a rarely emotionally expressed tone. Now that I did lose to the Duchy of the Black Dragon and Gertrut, who was a child's general in the east, has rebelled and has created a crack in His Majesty's trust, the headwind is blowing for me. It was thought that if the wind went in the wrong direction, it would also blow up the foundations we had built so far.

"... I was going to raise it to His Majesty's side..."

I was lost. I wonder if it should be sent in as a sideroom for His Majesty Shifa, who [the Sexual Haughty] held due to the effects of [Demon King's Ring], or if it should be sent to the south to flex and take in Kent.

"Really... then all three should be raised by His Majesty Shifa as side chambers to restore His Majesty's trust and give the whole kingdom the life of a Gertraut crusade order, exhausting them by fighting Lord Kent and the Duchy of Black Dragons"

"Ho, do you put the Gertrude thing in His Majesty's ear?

"Already, Your Majesty is known. Therefore, His Majesty will not be offended if he does not hide it poorly and if Master Gwayne takes the form of offering his daughter this case as a side room. I was wondering if the success rate would increase if we had a close meeting around the area with Mr. Irmgart."

If we send more daughters to Shifa, it seems likely that the chances of her successor being able to do so will increase, and the trust with the cracks will likely be repaired. I decided to raise all the rest of my daughters to His Majesty's side chambers because I couldn't be associated with Kent poorly and stir up any more relationships with Shifa.

"All right, my daughters will give it to His Majesty's side room. Souven, we're gonna roll back from here. I will see His Majesty."

"Ha ha, then we will do our utmost to gather information in the East"

When I left the office, I walked out to the private room where Shifa was waiting.

"Well done. My father-in-law always looks after me. There are people who say they care about this call. I called my father-in-law into the private room to make sure."

"Ha! This call is once and for all my immorality."

Sifa's gaze, sitting on her hips in her private room chair, poured cold on me. With the recent acquisition of an alternate court minister, it seems to be rising a little. I pushed Shifa against the Ashurian chiefs and demon kings because his family was highly qualified but his parents' strength was subtle. When Ashura's chieftain was elected, the chief of the Krausten family was confirmed to be the chief, but I pushed Shifa up to cut off the hostiles and let him take office as chief, and when the demon king was elected, I put pressure on him to take office as demon king.

Originally, I could have been the chief of Asura myself and the Demon King, but since the Haydow family I was born into was a subordinate nobleman with no nobility or territory, I sent Shifa Sekundadi, who was named for a corner of fame, as my puppet, as chief and demon king.

The puppet has shown its will. It is extremely unpleasant for me, but in the current situation where I have not yet had a child with my daughter, there is no reason to cut it off, and this time I decided to break it.

"You don't have to apologize that way. I trust my father-in-law for the rest. It's just that there are people who are worried. I just want to talk to you."

"Ha, let me explain. After a coup d 'état in the south by a general I was eyeing, I fled to the east, killed some eastern lords, and subordinated some lords to proclaim their independence from the kingdom."

I heard what I said. Shifa kept her eyes open. I guess I wasn't even heard that far from the court minister instead of my ear. It seems to me that I never knew what was going on in the world because I had only told Shifa that 'His Majesty's reign has cured all the world to Tahei'.

I've been trying not to intentionally let you know, but this time I think hiding it will call for more distrust, and I'll tell you all the truth.

"You think it's independent? The rest of you rebels called Gertrude don't obey the authority of the Demon King!

"Ha! We call ourselves the Divine Demon Emperor independently of the Kingdom, and we make our independent territory the Divine Demon Empire. He denies His Majesty, the current Demon King."

An expression of anger sticks to Shifa's blue-white, flat face.

"Silly! The rest is the demon king of the real demon kingdom! Deny me the rest of my authority! We deny the kingdom 5,000 years of history. He who calls himself Gertrude denies the First Demon King Orpheus! Unforgivable!"

"Ha ha, I think so. I'm capturing his relatives. Your Majesty will take care of the punishment."

"Immediately, snap your neck and expose yourself to Wangdu Square!

"Okay. I'll snap your neck right away. I'm so sorry about this. I'm so sorry to bother Your Majesty with this."

I lowered my head so low that it was about to rub on the floor. I haven't bowed my head to this low in a long time, but this was a place of patience.

"No, I'm not responsible on my father-in-law. Don't worry."

"No, that's not why. Include the meaning of this apology. I'd like you to use my daughters, Ferraris, Doriane and Silvana, as your side women."

Sighs were leaking from Shifa. He had heard that his relationship with Irmgart, who had sent him in as a regular room, was good, because he had never been blessed with a child and had also been examined by the court minister for setting up a side room.

"Do you use your sister-in-law as your sidekick? What Irmgart says..."

"We have received recognition for Irmgart. My sisters and I would like to dedicate ourselves to His Majesty, so would you please accept the side room?

Sifa nodded gladly when she heard that Irmgart was accepting.

"If Irmgart has accepted, there are no other barriers to rejecting the proposal. I'd appreciate it if you could take care of my stepdaughter around you."

"Well, I'll tell him to come sooner than tonight. Use it however you like."

My daughters were also known as famous beautiful sisters in the Wang capital, and when she found out that all the sisters were coming to her own hands, Shifa's harsh expression disappeared until earlier, giving her a floating expression.

"I have accepted the case of the woman on the other side. I'll leave the Gertrude matter to my father-in-law. I want to see his neck for the rest. I hope so, Father-in-law."

Cifa was losing interest in Geltraut and was shifting her interest into a new side room that she thought would come at night. I was convinced that I had regained Shifa's trust. Now I supposedly got a free hand on Geltraut's treatment.

"Ha! For Your Majesty's sake, for the true demon kingdom, we will conquer the rebel Gertrut."

When I declared that, I said hello to Sifa about my resignation and left my room.

When I return to the office, Souven stands behind me without a sound.

"I have advised you many times not to do that. I'm gonna kill you one day! I'm sexually angry right now. I haven't felt the floor cold on my forehead in a long time because of you geltrauts."

"Dear Gwayne, sometimes we also need patience. I will gladly be slaughtered when Lady Gwayne exercises his power."

Souven jumped away and drowned his head kneeling in front of me.

"How was the end?

"His Majesty entrusted Gertrut with the full powers of the disposition. In exchange for three daughters! Well, I'm just glad you have a few useless daughters."

"It's superimposed. Let us now announce the Gertrut Crusade Order to all the kingdoms. We encourage the warlords and truly demonic principalities everywhere, the Duchy of Black Dragon, and the southern border uncle to join the crusade. If you refuse to join the ranks, please also note that you will be considered a companion to Gertrude."

The Royal Army is in the process of being rebuilt in the battle against the Duchy of Black Dragon in the past, but this time the main force is going to have each Horse Army, Black Dragon, True Demon, and Southern Army on the front line as the main force. Besides, those who reject this Crusade Order will also get a great name to crusade against the Demon King as a rebel.

Because it is the death of the Demon King, I see no reason for the Black Dragon Army or the Southern Army to refuse to join the ranks. Rather, it would be a situation where you would have to join the ranks because if you refuse, it would be considered a departure from the kingdom.

"Both Kent and the Black Snake Woman refuse to join the party. Precisely, what if I use it to crush Gertrut's army? Gertrude helped me before he died."

"You're the one on the left. We will now immediately announce it to the whole territory. How about the size of the Crusaders?

"Um, the Royal Army is going to let Sir Rosenkreutz lead about 5,000 new editions. The young officers are rumored to be more capable than Gertrude. I'm seventeen years old in HR this time, but I got promoted to general."

"Are you Sir Rosenkreutz, that house your brother kept criticizing Master Gwayne? Was my current lord my brother, Lord Charles? I heard you were competent as a samurai, but are you a general at seventeen"

Souven seems to know about Charles, too. For once, he was the head of the aristocracy belonging to my faction, so he was doing some investigative work. Unlike his brother when he succeeded his late brother, Charles was a man who had shrunk his distance from me and joined the faction.

He was admitted to the Royal Military Cadet School with an adult, and graduating there as Chairman, he had successfully crusaded demons many times during a year or so of military service. He was so talented that he was not sure whether to send in Gertrut or Schal during the selection of the Southern Dispatch.

In the Black Dragon Battle back in the day, he led a thousand-man squad in the retreat to see a single scale of military talent, such as stopping the Black Dragon Infantry Army chasing him. Char is not an Asura, but if he succeeds in this crusade for Gertrut, he intends to discharge the generals with incompetent titles and call Char to the upper echelons of the central army.

He was a young man with so many expectations.

"Shall have to take charge of the future Royal Army. I'm afraid I'm not an Asura, but you can take your spouse from the prestigious Asura."

"It's unusual for Master Gwayne to expect so much"

Souven has a face that seems to say that it is unusual for me to expect from my subordinates, but I was proactive in recruiting people. It was just that I was extremely short of talent to give me results. Everyone has demonstrated only a degree of inferiority to the authority granted, and there are many of them who have lost sight of it.

Moreover, many Asura officers were debated in the conflict with the Black Dragons, so many cadet posts were vacant in the Kingdom Central Army, and as a result, even non-Asuras were given posts if they were drawing on my intentions.

Charles is one of them.

"You must have strength. Ask Shall to crusade the Gertraut army jointly with the Confederate Army. I'll also tell Arborest to put Kent's army under command. It's about Charles, so you're gonna draw on my intentions and you're gonna crush Kent and Gertrude well."

"Okay. Lord Gwayne is right. Lord Rosenkreutz will be asked to head south."

"And what about the Black Dragon? I haven't finished processing the war..."

"Let the Duchy of Black Dragon send a court minister who has served as a pipe with His Majesty during this time. Lord Fabranova should not disobey His Majesty's decree either. Let's get the troops ready and let the western marquis take them and invade."

Suven has been trying to give the Duchy of Black Dragon free discretion without imposing constraints. They thought it was a bad decision to stimulate poorly and fight again.

"Well... okay. Do it. Let the Black Snake Woman do her best. I'll be in command this time, too. Because Gertrude's going to be so loud when I lift my neck with my hands! If Kent and the Black Snake Lady drain to some extent by leading the Duchy and the Royal Army, we'll see how they fit and discuss Geltraut!

"Ha ha, I think that's a good idea too"

"This crusade will destroy all the lord aristocrats who were in tune or out of battle with Gertrut. I'm a man who falls and doesn't wake up for free. Cut off kingdom tightening with crusade decree. Don't crush the noblemen on your stomach."

"Yes, Master Gwayne, that's the shortcut to National Antai"

I plan to use this crusade decree to sort through the trends of a few lord aristocrats. You're not gonna obey me. You're gonna crush the house with a crusade decree. Regardless, I intend to exhaust its spikes by letting them use the Black Dragon and the Confederate Army.

"Come on, it's battle support. Fly to the lords everywhere. From the south, we invade Charles' separate task force and the southern army, from the north, I lead the main army of the Royal Army and the True Demon Army, and from the center, the Black Dragon Army and the Western Horse Army. In order to speed up the invasion of each army, we will keep in close contact, so Souven will need to set up a contact network."

"Yes, I understand."

"All right, let's get ready."

When I said that, I decided to leave the office and take him to the military command.

* Fabranova point of view

"Have you lost your life... when it comes to Gertrude, it's not the general of Gwayne's children... so our Duchy of the Black Dragon has to send out its soldiers. Besides, it is also adhesive to negotiate compensation for territorial violations by the Royal Army..."

I sighed as I saw the gray-headed old man responding between my glances. A decree was issued by the Demon King to crusade Gertrut, who rebelled in the east, and he ran into my castle with his writ.

This old man had the benefit of having the Royal Army run away to obtain His Majesty's permission when he violated our territory, and he was not going to refuse this offer either.

"Lord Fabranova, His Majesty is also outraged that you should know about Gertrut. Anyway, they totally denied the Demon King's authority. And if you join us, the Duchy of Black Dragon will be seen in line with Gertrude."

The old man is right, if you don't join him in this crusade, he'll have trouble being identified with the Gertrut toner. As far as I am concerned, my consciousness as a minister of the kingdom is high, and I intend to participate actively in the crusade of the rebels as a minister of His Majesty the Shifa of the present Demon King, but I am angry that I have to do all sorts of things at the behest of Gwayne, the Great Rebel Minister.

"I'm not going to refuse to join the formation. I just want to apologize for fighting on Gwayne's orders. It's up to His Majesty to recognize our own command."

"Don't worry about that. From His Majesty, Lord Fabranova has been appointed commander-in-chief of the army who will take the western lords and attack them from the centre. Command is independent of Lord Gwayne."

The old court minister has spoken with a smile. He was a man who worked for His Majesty's ear and eye replacement in anti-Gwayne.

"That's a good admission by Gwayne. So much, you're losing influence?

"Yes, Lord Gwayne's influence has been diminished by his tragic defeat in the battle against Master Fabranova and by the fact that his child Gertrut flies the rebel flag. In fact, His Majesty's trust is also shaken, but he has managed to connect his trust by raising his third son to His Majesty's side room. If you screwed up on this crusade, you would have decided there would be no later. We also show considerable concessions to command."

Gwayne was losing ground and began to shake the foundations of power. It is also whispered that this rebellion of Geltraut also failed in the dispatch of troops to the south, where Gwayne gobbled, and that the spiritually hunted down Geltraut erupted.

Besides, we have also heard a leak of dissatisfaction from the Royal Army, a strong support base for Gwayne.

"I guess Gwayne will make a jump in restoring influence. That intention is in line with the text of this Crusade Order. Those who cannot join the ranks must not be regarded as Gertrut's companions. If it is written enough, the queens must join the ranks without money. Now the hearts of the more gods will depart from Gwayne."

"That's up to Master Fabranova's arm. If you think you have a chance to use this to support more western monarchs, you will also see the cost of joining the ranks as low."

Old Ting Shen had been suggesting to me to wrap up the western lords. To settle with Gwayne slowly, we should do a mutilation of his hands and feet, but I'm concerned that I can't read the movements of Arborest and Kent in the south at all.

They were taking my daughter and niece in and building a new Black Dragon city in the south, and there was still an exodus of residents from the Principality.

The inability to read the movements in the south could not be brought into full conflict with Gwayne, and at the moment it was a state of cold war with the south. Dee's father, Crade, and Lyumidra's father, Jugneau, seem to hate Kent furiously and persist in his anti-Southern stance. Even for me, the resentment that took up my daughter, niece, and belly-hearted men who grew up with hand salt is strong, and I also think they're incompatible with the Kents, but I thought I might have to make an alliance or so when crusading for Gwayne, my biggest enemy.

According to Clade's words, there were numerous anti-Gwayne subordinates and side chambers around Kent who told me they were potentially hostile.

"It's certainly a great opportunity to lend money to the western marquis. At a time when the path to resource development in the south has been closed, the resources needed will have to come from the western marquis. Let's take in the western marquis with this death."

"That's Master Fabranova. Your Majesty is also counting on Lady Fabranova, so I ask you to be well prepared for yourself here."

The old court chief was bowing his head deeply.

"Aye, okay. We will hurry to support the team. I will come to the king's capital once to receive His Majesty's prayer."

"Ha ha, I'll be waiting for you in Wangdu"

When the old chief greeted his resignation, he hurriedly left between his eyes.

"All right, Jugnault, Crade, let's just say we do the battle support."

"Ha, sister. Let's show our strength."

I'll blow up the army.

I'll leave the battle to the men, and I'll focus on taking in the lords.

* Kent Perspective

"Father-in-law, what use is this call?

I had an urgent call from my father-in-law at Estfort, and he was rushing the carriage to the castle hall in Avisvena.

My father-in-law had also healed the wounds suffered by Gertrut's soldiers and returned to government.

"Whoa, Kent, well done. We've got a lot to talk about."

"Er!? Also, I thought they would tell me to be a gambling story, didn't they..."

My father-in-law answered my words with a bitter laugh.

"I hope so. But not this time. A crusade order was issued against Gertrut by His Majesty. Moreover, it says that those who fail to join the Crusaders will be regarded as the homologues of Gertrut. Those who cannot join the ranks will be considered traitors."

My father-in-law was frowning and thinking.

"Is this a Gertrude crusade order... someone you don't want to be involved with if you can do it from me"

Knowing that Gertrude's contents were the first demon kings, I wanted to find a way to follow this crusade without having to send out soldiers. Given the damage that came out during the coup d 'état, it was obvious that many casualties would occur if we fought his army properly.

Besides, he also revealed that he was after my body, so if he found me on the battlefield, he thought he'd come and kill me without worrying.

It's just frightening to float a scene like that.

"As far as I'm concerned, his soldiers have slashed him and wounded him, so I have a deep grudge. And the army of the eagle has been killed by the army of Gertraut. This crusade has made me want to raise Gertrude's neck myself."

My father-in-law was deeply ashamed to have been assaulted by Gertrut in the middle of preparations for New Year's Day, and to have been wounded by an unconsciousness that was attacked inside the castle.

"Father-in-law, it seems better not to get involved with Gertrut. I was wondering if we should cloud the tea this time with the invasion of Nowrance territory, or even Roland territory, which is the border with the east… Your Majesty's life, but the origin is Gwayne, right?

"It is true that the proposal was made by my brother, but this time the matter of Gertrude has reached His Majesty's ear. His Majesty himself has entrusted the Crusade to his brother."

Sifa, the current demon king more than her father-in-law, had been told that she had no real rights as a Gwayne puppet, but this time she decided to crusade Gertrude at her own request.

"Ho, did your majesty show his will to Gwayne that it was not a decoration?

"Seems so. My brother also has an overlapping sense of impotence. Someone in the court ministry would have entered His Majesty and wisdom. I think my brother raised his daughter to the side of His Majesty's room with a sense of crisis."

I heard that Gwayne has four daughters other than Millie, but it looks like she's going to make the Demon King's quarters exclusive with sisters from the main room to the side room. This seems to have succeeded in tightening His Majesty's mantra.

"Are all three of them… Your Majesty is now under Gwayne's influence again"

"Well, you will. But if you fail the crusade, I don't think you can absolve me of my brother's responsibility. My brother has now transferred command of an army that will attack me from the south to Washi. Besides, he says he can even attach five thousand separate units of the Royal Army. He's got a better brother than that one."

I didn't think it was possible that Gwayne would give up command of the army, etc., but he said that Gwayne would be on the front line as a commander of the army attacking him from the north, speaking from above his father-in-law.

"Who are the generals sent by the Royal Army?

"It's a young general named Charles Rosenkreutz. I do hear he is a seventeen-year-old Dream Demon youth. I'll follow you as a deputy commander, but they think you're gonna be Kent's boss."

As I am the title of Deputy Commander of the Confederate Army, I would normally be considered equivalent to Charles Rosenkreutz, but it was thought that Gwayne had deliberately placed that general on the board around there.

"That's a name you don't ask? Besides, aren't you an Asura officer?

"Oh, my brother said he got promoted. The Asuras also lost a large number of officers in the battle against the Black Dragon. If we don't recruit other races, the post won't be filled."

I would also like to wonder if Gwayne is having trouble with the lack of human resources, such as sending a new general to the south, but I have become interested in a young man who has taken up the post of general. If Millie isn't the Gwayne of the bees, I'll try to figure out how to pull him out as a Confederate general.

"It's dangerous to use Sir Rosenkreutz with no idea of strength as a vanguard. Then I'll lead my own soldiers into battle. Is that bad? I'd like to focus on territorial development if I can…"

"In the meantime, the Confederate Army will give my brother a big name to crush if we don't send out soldiers too. To avoid that, we must join the Crusaders. If you really don't want to fight Gertrude, Kent joins the line as a hindsight. If that's the case, it's either Nowrance or Roland."

My father-in-law has offered me a hindsight when he sees me as unwilling to crusade the Gertrude.

"Is it a hindsight? Ok. The Black Daggers will accommodate what you need, so please raise your martial arts on your father-in-law"

"The eagle leads by about two thousand and pioneers. The Chinese army is Sir Rosenkreutz, whose strength is unknown. And Kent gets backwards backwards support in hindsight. I'll have about 2,000 soldiers out."

"Yes, thank you for your consideration. Rest assured that supplies will be fully replenished."

"I asked for it."

When I greeted my father-in-law with my resignation, I decided to return to Estefort and begin the battle.
