Reincarnation Monarch

"Then explain the situation of the day in order."

The Lombards had finally arrived at the headquarters of the seven-country surveillance corps set up at the southernmost end of the disputed area of Esta.

And from the top floor of the lookout tower, located in the center of the headquarters, while looking down at the hissing Lowenglin soldiers, he was receiving reports from the watchmen.

"Yes, I did."

A shallow, black-faced little man answered with a face of tension that was hard to tell if it was burnt in the day or if it was bad in his gut.

It is the erness of the resident monitors at the headquarters of the seven national monitoring missions.

While turning the file in his hand, Ernest began to explain how the day of the military clash between Lowenglin and Raydam occurred.

"The first thing I want to say is that I was in a very deep fog that day."

"Hmm. Deep fog..."

"Yes. It was a lot of thick fog. It's so foggy that you can't clearly see the tip of the reached hand. Esta is indeed a land prone to fog due to its location in Central America of the river, but I have never seen such fog in the two and a half years since I took up my duties in Esta. And when I asked those who were stationed in the land longer than I did, they all said that they had never seen such a deep mist."

"There was a total clash in that thick fog?

"No, not all of a sudden there was a total clash. First, there was a commotion at the Lowenglin camp."

"Hmm. Let me know more"

"Yes. Until later that day, a noise broke out on the far right wing of the Lowenglin formation, which means we're here. First I heard something like dozens of small skirmishes. To avoid unnecessary provocation, as you know, the formation of low engrins also has only simple fences and moat defenses, as it is assumed that a large fortification of sorts (tattoos) should not be built at the time of harmony fifty years ago. So it is not possible to ambush in the thick fog and burn a mortar or other act on a dozen people basis. Most naturally, it is a violation of the treaty, so you will be fined a great deal..."

"Mm-hmm. Even if it's a skirmish, it would be a serious treaty violation if we were to attack across the Altarte River. Just because it's foggy doesn't mean Raydom is a fool to attack when the opportunity comes."

"Yes. We were just wondering if the Lowenglin soldiers would be drinking or drinking and fighting when we heard the noise too. But often when I heard clear ears, there was a mix of blade sounds of each other's swords and swords bumping into each other in the curse. So even though we were fighting over alcohol, we were all worried that this would lead to death."

Superintendent Ernest cut off the conversation there, and after saying no to Lombardo, he grabbed the cup beside him and drank it to a sip. And after one big exhale, I started talking again.

"Then a Roenglin envoy jumped into HQ with tremendous momentum. And this is how he complained out loud. Said he was ambushed by Raydom. The moment I heard that, we froze. That means that fifty years of peace have come to an end. But there was something we needed to do. It's about checking if Lowenglin's words are true."

"Hmm. That's a wise decision.

"Thank you. We quickly crossed the river with monitors from six other countries and entered the Lowenglin position. And I started doing live tests."

"So, how was it?

"Yes, there were three roenglin soldiers' corpses (shikans) and dozens of injured people there. And there were the remains of eighteen men in Raydom's armor helmets."

Then Shester, his deputy, who had refrained from speaking until then behind Lombardo, suddenly opened his mouth.

"One thing though, were those dozens of low englin soldiers injuries enough to be considered life-threatening 'weights'? Or was it a 'serious illness' where life had nothing else to say, either?

This Shester question was important.

Though there were bodies of both armies, this could have been disguised at all costs.

If we procure the bodies from somewhere, plus the armored helmets of both armies, the disguise will be complete.

It was therefore the injured, not the corpse, that mattered.

If there had really been a battle between the two armies that would have caused 21 deaths, there would naturally have been a heavy patient at the time of life among the dozens of injured.

But if it were disguised, there might be serious injuries to the extent that they would not die, but there would be no heavy patients.

Because there could be no one who likes and receives fatal injuries for disguise of anything at all.

"... yes... that is... there was indeed a knife wound... but we could not tell if it was a fatal wound or not by a doctor. So we tried to get a physician stationed at our headquarters..."

"Am I interrupting?"

With Shester's low and sharp voice, he cut into a bewildered erness.

"Yes. It is. When I tried to get a doctor, I saw the general."

"General? Oh, only General Gorkos...... was it?

Shester answered Lombardo's question more than his back.

"Yeah. Right now, it's the Seventh Legion that's lining up on the Esta West Bank. So when it comes to generals, you'll be General Bulk Gorkos, head of the Seventh Corps."

Ernest nodded silently in agreement with Chester's answer.

"General Gorkos... I've never met him, but I've heard of his reputation. Sounds like someone picturesque of a swine rush, huh?

Shester answered the question once again.

"Yeah. Well put, I guess he's a fierce general, but he's actually just a progressing idiot. I've done scattered damage to my allies until now with all the forwards and no knowledge of retrogression. Most of all, it's a big fight."

"You're the type I don't want to be."

"Yeah. And it looks terrible, too. He's fat enough to walk on his own, so his face and voice are like toads on top of him all the time, and when he gets close, he has a reputation for jumping the discomfort index of those around him."

Elnes was smiling and sneering in affirmation of Shester's cursing murmur.

Lombardo said bitterly when he saw it.

"It's terrible to be told, but apparently Shester's character review is winning. So what happened after that toad general arrived?

Lombardo undone a conversation that was getting out of line.

Ernest tightened his loose face and continued to report in advance.

"Yes. The general appeared abruptly on board, and began his speech with a great deal of excitement in our face. Raydam's behavior was cowardly, unforgivable behavior, and so on... Anyway, I told him to incite incitement, to reward the dead English spirits... and I ordered the whole army to prepare to storm."

"Suddenly!

Lombardo accidentally raised his voice out loud.

"Yes, we were flattered, too, but we immediately took it back and advised the General to stay. The general's neighbors were equally surprised to try to forgive the general, but the general didn't listen at all to what he seemed to be excited about the marching orders he had issued. In doing so, the general summoned a command unit to convey orders to prepare for the assault by the entire army and released the command unit. It was a later festival when it had already happened, and there was nothing more we could do, and it was best to bring the bodies, remnants, etc. back to headquarters, and then we could just keep an eye on the war. I'm sorry."

"No, you don't have any downfall. In that situation, no matter who it is, nothing can be done. You never get sick."

"Yes, thank you"

"So you started an all-army assault and occupied Esta?

"Yes, the Lowenglin army rushed across the eastern river and attacked the position on Raydam's side, and it was the fighting that pushed Raydam, who was ambushed, but then became glued (this way) due to Raydam's desperate fight, so he retreated to Esta after roughly five hours of battle to this day. The total number of casualties in the two armies is estimated to be 1,000."

"You're over 10% dead at war! It must have been a fierce battle."

The composition of one regiment for both armies was approximately five thousand, except for non-combatant units such as heavy (soda) units transporting food, etc.

In other words, the fact that the two armies combined resulted in a thousand deaths in combat by 10,000 people meant that the lethality rate would exceed 10%, and that a great deal of fierce fighting took place.

"Yes. It was awesome. As I said earlier, Raydham was suddenly attacked and pushed in at first, but the same goes for a sudden surprise attack if you try to be Raydham soldiers. You must have seen your compatriots fall in front of you, and you all learned a bottomless anger. We stopped the Lowenglin from advancing with a backlash all over us."

"So you thought both armies had been ambushed, and you were fighting because you thought it was a counterattack to it. It's going to be a tough fight."

"Yes, because General Gorkos, who doesn't know he's going to retreat, has just ordered him to retreat..."

"Mm-hmm. Very well. Good luck reporting."

Lombardo labored his long-spoken elness.

Ernest corrected his manners, bowed his head deeply, and left the room at speed.

Lombardo saw Elnes leave the room and turned to Chester at the rear to ask.

"You think it was set up by General Gorkos?

Shester replied, waving loudly for the first time.

"No way. That idiot general doesn't have a strategy or anything. There's a mastermind behind it."

"I guess so. Perhaps the general stormed without even knowing the plan and just hitting it. Of course, the mastermind predicted that would happen, or did he turn it right next to the general..."

"Yeah. Probably the mastermind will be right next to the general. To make the plan certain."

"Oh. I guess so... So suppose I'm going to see that mastermind"

"Do you want to get in? to the Lowenglin HQ."

"Will there be ghosts or snakes? It's fun to go and have a look. I don't want to see the most unpleasant toads."

Say no. Lombardo had a great laugh at Chester and his face.

At this time, they had no slight anxiety either.

Not to mention there was no such thing as fear.

Therefore, after this, I never dreamed that they would encounter a tragedy that was uninterrupted.
