─ ─ Windsham Castle, meeting room.

The center of the room, which was originally used as a VIP room. Officers were present and discussing the roundtable, starting with Rosenmarie.

Naturally the subject is the matter of reapers who make noise everywhere.

"My lord, anti-imperial sentiment is mounting on the people because Reapers have devastated their troops everywhere. Rumors are also spreading that we will flip the anti-flag, and requests for reinforcements continue to be received from each unit."

To the officer's words, Rosenmarie jumps up her eyebrows.

"Request reinforcements? Ha! Are you even talking in your sleep?

"So can we withdraw the request?

"Naturally. Tell all units to deal with it with their current strength. If there's a revolt, you can crush one or two of the villages."

A creature called the people is susceptible to being flushed into the atmosphere of the place, for better or worse. Even if there were a rebellion, crushing every city and village would also draw blood.

That's what I thought, Rosenmarie gave the order.

"Ha, well, I'll give you the instructions as soon as possible"

When the officer leaves the conference room early enough, another officer who came in to replace him hears Gayer. Gradually, deep wrinkles are engraved between Guyel's eyebrows.

"Is something wrong?

"According to surveillance reports, the Seventh Army stationed in Emrid is showing signs of movement."

"The main unit moves? ─ ─ Kuck, I see. Are you saying that they got out of it? Apparently, the Seventh Army has a wise connoisseur there."

Rosenmarie laughing at you. As the officers get a bewildered look on their face, Guyel rides himself out and asks.

"What does that mean?

"Nothing like this. Meaning as it were."

That's what Rosenmarie says and snorts. Gayer stood up from the chair with momentum after showing her some thinking tricks for a while.

"No way. He said this situation was deliberately created by the Seventh Army. Is that what your Excellency wants to say!?

Guyel makes a barbaric noise and a twitch occurs in the conference room. It seems that we finally realize that this is the measure that the Seventh Army has set up. It's really lamentable, but it's the same with me that I've never been able to spot the enemy's measures before. I can't really blame my men.

"If you're officers too, look at things overlooking. The enemy's main unit began to move at a time that could be considered exquisite under this circumstance. This is more than anything else."

Perhaps the Seventh Army will soon start marching towards Windsham Castle. Depending on the speed of the march, they should meet in three or four days.

"... I mean, is this what this is all about? We've been rendered powerless by half of our forces."

"That's what I'm talking about."

Rosenmarie deliberately clapped her shoulders. Guyel is blurred as he frightens his lips. The officers had similar reactions.

"... If that's the fact, why is Your Excellency so calm? He said he got out, but I don't feel panicked at all."

"Hmm? Did Guy even want to see you in a panic? You don't mind if I do what I want right now?

"Yes, no, it's never like that!

Guyel rushes to wave and deny. I'm not even serious about it as Rosenmarie. It's just bullshit.

"There will be no need to panic or other fine dust. According to reports, the Seventh Army totals 28,000. By contrast, this is 27,000. You just don't expect the Red Knights to take the fall for the same number of opponents, do you?

Staring, the officers nodded loudly with their mouths tied to a single letter.

"Regardless, I was wondering if that was possible. But."

So cut the words, Guyel. The words that follow can be found in Rosenmarie's hands. But I dare ask. Because it's definitely more interesting.

"But?

"But...... the enemy has a reaper. I was wondering if I could be optimistic about all this. Whatever it is, Reaper is targeting His Excellency."

"Come on, isn't that the ultimate honor? A girl who's been promoted from a monster to a reaper comes all the way out here to see me. You have to give him a fancy welcome."

Instructing Gayer to prepare for the war, Rosenmarie left the conference room behind.

(Wait for me, Reaper Olivia. This Rosenmarie will jump your neck straight away. And I will accompany you to the grave of General Osvanne, along with the report of the destruction of the Seventh Army)

Transmission.

The Independent Cavalry Regiment is an Imperial Army deployed everywhere. Successfully disabling a total of 30,000 soldiers. Beg to come out.

In the wake of the Paul ordinance, which heard this report, the Seventh Army began its immediate advance towards Windsham Castle. Along the way, he joins the Independent Cavalry Regiment and goes the deserted field, but pushes forward as if.

"My lord, how do you think the enemy moves?

To Otto's question, Paul answers as he strokes his jaw.

"Right...... probably won't cage castle. Windsham Castle is not a big defense because of Heijo. Besides, it's only when they come out of their power that they make a difference."

"I agree. For once, we have a catapult that we have captured (barely) from the Imperial Army, but apparently it's going to be useless."

Catapults captured in the Almheim plains surprised Otto. As a result of the research, it is quite small compared to the Royal Army catapult, and is not yet powerful.

From this it can also be seen that the technical skills of the empire are several steps higher than those of the kingdom. The advantages and disadvantages of technical skills are not tied to victory or defeat as they are.

but I could say that it is one proof of the strength of the empire today.

"Well, that has uses in the future. And no matter how much it fell into enemy hands, Windsham Castle is one of the most famous castles in the kingdom. It's a little sneaky to destroy with this hand."

"Where will the enemy actually be in formation as they go out later? That would be the place."

"Unlike last time, this area has as many suitable places for the battlefield. Honestly, I can't read it."

Otto tours his thoughts thinking about the map he tapped into his head. Salz Plains, Karnak Valley and Tufl Plateau, even just near Windsham Castle.

Just to think of it, three places went up. As Paul put it, there are as many other places suitable for the battlefield as there are.

It's hard to predict and it's a waste of time thinking.

"Your Excellency is right, there are too many candidates. I can't narrow it down to one."

"At any rate, thanks to the Independent Cavalry Regiment, I was able to bring it into the quintile. Major Olivia's activity will continue to largely shape the victory and defeat of the battle. Keep in touch."

"Ha!"

Meanwhile, the Red Knights led by Rosenmarie. As Paul expected, he went out to intercept the Seventh Army. It was placed in the Karnak Valley, southwest of Windsham Castle.

The Karnak Valley is surrounded by low altitude mountain ranges, mainly the Pararena River. It is an excellent interception destination for the Red Knights, who have been trained in the mountains.

Built on the hills, Rosenmarie had a relaxing view of the sight of the earth stained with cedar. A pleasant breeze blowing through the blue leaves shakes the burning redhead gently.

Beautiful - - just simply that's what Guy thought.

"My lord, the formation of each unit, it's all done"

Rosenmarie nods loudly as he regains his mind and Geyer reports.

"The time has finally come. And then you just wait for the Seventh Army to show up."

"Ha, it is at the hands of the Red Knights that the fate of the Seventh Army is exhausted"

"Whatever. - Well, what about Olivia, the rumored reaper? Enjoy the delicacy."

The cross sword flickered a crimson cloak and Rosenmarie left for the tent.

─ ─ The day after dawn.

The Seventh Army arrives in the Karnak Valley full.

When the sun with thin clouds plunged into the position of Jomtien, the drums gradually began to sound from both factions, and the voices rose.

Seventh Army - 28,000 total.

The Knights of Red - a total of 27,000.

Paul to recapture the oppressed north. And Rosenmarie is here to discuss General Osvanne's enemies.

As each held strong beliefs, the Karnak match opened the curtain.
