“You're going to our territory? ”

The late Kaisson did not hide his curiosity from you.

A horde of 4,000 men alone is headed for the Horn Empire? I thought this was crazy.

Crossing the border shouldn't be too difficult.

However, the biggest difficulty you can feel when an army enters the land of the enemy was supply.

There is no way to get food, so I can't just wander around. So supply was important in the war. It was because Emperor Kars had entrusted the supply route to the late Kaisson.

The actions of the Condol Cavalry towards the Horn Empire are undoubtedly reckless.

But it was even weirder.

Combining Baron Jacques' reports, Captain Patrick Condol of the Condol Cavalry was competent, but he was never a fool.

"Did you become reckless after so much work in such a short time? ’

Such assumptions were also awkward. In his command style, Patrick Condol refuses to sacrifice his own men. He makes a dangerous mission that involved 100 million troops and returns victorious.

Then what is it?

What the hell are we supposed to do with the supplies? They're swarming into hostile territory at an alarming rate.

No, wait. ’

I came up with a similar case.

It was just the beginning of the war, without even having to go through all the history of human warfare.

The assault on Lord Juden's Kingdom of Ledon.

Despite his failures, the Marquis of Juden marched unexpectedly to the Kingdom of Leaden to cool down the conversation between the Kingdom of Leaden. At the same time, the Kingdom of Ledon had no idea that the Jade Marquis of Juden would pass through Duke Meutt and march into the Kingdom of Ledon for supplies.

‘We planned to supply the food through the local merchant guild. Though Evan Taylor's cancer pills failed to deliver. ’

No way...

The late Kaisson was unbelievable.

But there was only one thing that the Condol Cavalry meant by that firm swift march.

"Was there a schemer like you in the Kingdom of Leaden? ’

The man in his head is the enemy of the emperor, Caroc Ligand.

‘Maybe Caroc Ligand or the talented man he discovered had a plan similar to the Emperor's. ’

Before the war, he could have planned a strategy by hiding food somewhere on the mainland of the Horn Empire or by doing so.

Assuming so, all questions are answered.

With its rations supplied, the Condol Cavalry distracts the rear of the Horn Empire. The great maneuver of the Condol Cavalry must have been trained for it.

‘I see. That's why the Condol Cavalry was stationed in ligand territory. To be able to enter the rear directly at the same time. ’

Ligand territory is a harsh terrain, not a good place for mounted troops.

Nevertheless, a Condol Cavalry is stationed on the ligand territory because it can penetrate directly through the Baden River basin and into the Horn Empire order.

The late Kaisson makes his way there and sends a raid to Baron Zakal with his soldiers.

“Tell him right now. The Condol Cavalry intends to invade a foreign country and disrupt it. Chase them to the end and stop them. ”

“Old!”

The soldier immediately rode west on his horse.

"Unless Caroc Ligand is up to something, it means there's a brilliant schemer in ligand territory." Grand Duke Romfel shouldn't be too careless... ’

It was a bit of a relief that there was a human presence called Duke Romfel. The living legend did not imagine his defeat under any circumstance. No matter how desperate the situation may be, the last person standing on the battlefield will be Grand Duke Rompel.

The only person whose pure human strength can reach a strategic level.

An old man with over two meters of jewelry is looking around. The strong, colorless steel armor-like muscle in the word "old man," he looked like a hand axe to the biggest battle axe on his back.

“Kuhaha, this is quite a terrain to roll around in! ”

The old man, Duke Romfel, laughed.

Surrounded by high, rugged mountains. The thick, large trees were so dense that I was doubtful that people could travel.

It didn't seem strange even if there were large, evil monsters like Trolls and Ogres.

The problem was that at the top of this mountain there was an enemy's book.

Duke Rompel, who had been at war for almost 100 years since he became 110 years old as a soldier in his mid-teens, knew how adverse the current terrain was to his allies.

“We need to figure out the geography of these mountains first. Maybe that's the problem. ”

We couldn't operate without knowing the terrain. Then you might be able to write down what's left of the book of history. In fact, how lazy and reckless the longevity had been sacrificed as the wealth of a great victory.

It was Grand Duke Rompel who had become a master and had no desire to suffer the humiliation of defeating 70,000 troops in this nosy territory. It was the loss of the reputation that had been built up in 110 years of life.

‘I'm going to boast that I've defeated 70,000 troops led by this duke Rompel. You can't see it like that. Well, but.... ’

Duke Romfel looked up at the mountains.

Built in a seemingly ambiguous position, the enemy's binding was uncanny.

It was a cruel architectural design that was completely unknown to the structure of the defenses from the point of attack. I couldn't figure out what kind of architect it was. The only thing I know for sure is that an enemy of mine would never be strong enough to build this line of defense.

‘The path of victory and defeat is equally presented to both sides. Let's get Tom Lompell in trouble. Push it to the edge and break it to pieces. If you can do that, I'll give Tom Romfeld a big smile and a compliment the moment he loses. ’

I started to feel alive and alive on my skin.

Duke Rompel has been in the army since he was too young to see blood for his whole life.

He is 110 years old after living his whole life experiencing the most intense experience in the world!

The everyday life that had never happened in Tom Lompel was empty as if he had died with his eyes open.

As if you were lying in a grave in advance, old age, when there was little war, did not irritate you.

Neither liquor nor pussy impressed me. What in the world could be as violent and stimulating as a life-threatening struggle?

That's why as I got older, my behavior became more violent and out of common sense.

He could not endure the frustrating life of a paralyzed sensation. I didn't want to end my life as if I were a breathing corpse.

This might be the last war.

Victory's glory and riches were no longer of great significance to the Grand Duke of Rompel. He was a man who had lived his whole life with everything he didn't want.

‘This is why so many children are ruined in a wealthy noble family. ’

I have a lot of money and I haven't done anything, so I'm going to do something crazy. When I thought about it, I was lucky to be born as a poor commoner's child, tearing his asshole.

Born out of common sense, he had no choice but to ascend to his current position even if he was born a slave.

Anyway, I was born a poor commoner, so I grew up in my 3s and 40s, and I was crazy about booze and pussy that I couldn't do when I was young because I was a late thief. I was bored shortly, but they were still fun memories.

‘This may be the last festival of my life. ’

Duke Rompel smiled and began to plot how to fight this battle.
