Felix, entrusted with the Red Knights by Marshal Graden, was going for Fort Astra with fifty men.

"Sometimes Nojuku is a good thing."

As I watched the morning burning light with my arms extended wide, I heard couscous laughing from the side.

"Did I say something strange?

"No, just because you look much more alive than you do when you're working in the office"

With that said, Ensign Therese will be offering you borschen tea. A thank you sip spread the stiffness warmth all over my body.

"How's the taste?

Theresa asks as she peeks into Felix.

"It's better than the borscht tea I usually drink."

"That was good. Actually, I've added a few drops of honey to the hidden flavor."

Theresa smiled as she gently paid for the hair on her shoulder. Felix, somewhat uncomfortable with the way he looked, immediately realized who he was.

"─ With that said, you're not uncommonly tying your hair today, are you?

What Felix always sees is Theresa with her golden hair tied up. This may be the first time I've seen my hair down like now. When I looked at it again, I was impressed that one hair would change my impression a lot.

"Pfft. Rare. I can't believe your Excellency said that. It might rain today. Or is it snow?

Theresa says deliberately looking up at the sky.

"Is that so strange?

"Come on? What do you think?

Theresa smiles deeply. "I'll have breakfast ready right away," Felix said before he tried to ask, and he just walked away.

When the morning sun completely rose and ran out.

Felix and the others were approaching a short distance to Fort Astra. Without the rain or snow that Theresa prophesied, the chills that pierced her cheeks gradually eased.

"My lord, it is time to reach Fort Astra"

Theresa, who walks with me, calls out. When Felix tried to get back to me, I felt a slight smell of something burning.

"This smell..."

"How are you?

"Signal to stop."

Therese nods instantly to Felix's orders. Extending his right arm horizontally, he commanded his men to chase behind him.

"All units, stop!!

Following Theresa's orders, his men stop the horse with exquisite handrail judgment. Felix turned the binoculars in his hand forward, urging him to be vigilant about his surroundings.

"Is something wrong?

Matthew, one of the SS, leans over with his hands on the pattern.

"... something strange may have happened to Fort Astra"

It shows thin white smoke rising over the binoculars. Theresa panicked next to Felix and took out her hips binoculars.

─ ─ You do have smoke rising from the direction of the fort...... did the Seventh Army attack you?!

Theresa's words echo in unison from her men. At the same time Felix shook his head loudly as the word Olivia the Reaper flew across.

"No, it's probably unlikely"

Even though he has won the Red Knights, the Seventh Army has also lost nearly half of its soldiers. There shouldn't be enough reserves here to go out on further offense. Even if Olivia has a thousand powers, she can't go to war alone.

Yes, Felix explained.

"So what's that smoke?

"I don't know. I've never been over it without any particular problems... but let's hurry anyway"

Saying and stepping in, the horse kicked the ground forcefully and ran.

"My lord..."

Theresa looks around without alarm as she frowns at her roots.

"Yeah, I know"

Ever since I stepped onto the road leading in front of the castle gate, there had been an overwhelming blood odor pouring in on the wind. Felix knows the smell of battlefield.

Therese sends a hand signal to his men, and the formation is restructured into a wrist around Felix.

Eventually, as the castle gate entered his sight, a soldier in black chenic appeared from above his armor. The soldiers seem to have noticed this one, too, and move out like they panicked.

"My lord! That uniform does not belong to the Royal Army!

"Apparently you do. I'm going in like this all at once... so Ensign Therese can stay as far away from me as possible."

"Ha!"

Felix directed a simultaneous fire by bow at enemy soldiers attempting to assemble. Arrows released from the mighty soldier pierce the enemy's body to be sucked in. Breaking through the castle gate as forcefully as it was, he flashed the neck of an enemy soldier who was now about to stab exactly a stop.

"Huh?"

The soldier's face is full of surprises. At the same time, when his body leaned about, he fell and lay down as he bled out his blood.

"Ouch!

"I'll clean you up!

A sword is waved down simultaneously from the two soldiers towards Felix, who jumped off the horse.

One is cerebral.

The other is flank.

Felix uses gaze guidance and palms to instantly play the opponent's attack, orbitally modifying each sword to rip each other's necks off.

─ And.

"─ Ahhh?

"─ Eh?

Soldiers who mutilated each other's necks collapsed to the ground with expressions like they didn't know what it meant.

"What?! Why are we on the same side?!

"Ethereal armor...... isn't that a little Ethereal Knights?!

"The Knights of the Ethereum, regarded as the finest of the Empire..."

Enemy soldiers begin to blur. Felix opens his mouth with Pocan and reaches for the soldier with the buttocks.

"Are you all right?

When asked so, the soldier has held the hand he offered, nodding over and over again.

"F, my lord Felix...... my lord Felix!!

A soldier calling Felix's name as if he had been impressed. As if guided by that voice, Felix gathers his gaze.

"My Lord Felix!

"Oh! Lord Felix is here for reinforcements!

"Whoa, whoa!

As cheers boiled from the red soldiers, Felix asked for an explanation of the status quo.

"─ I see. Are you an insider...... for now I know what's going on. So, where is Colonel Geyer now?

Colonel Gayer...

"Colonel Gayer would be here."

The voice of a dry woman reaches her ear, as if to block the voice of a soldier. When you point your gaze at the entrance to the fort, a woman with thin blue hair shows up from the dark. Felix accidentally grabbed the pattern. On her left hand was a hanging neck of an unusual gayer.

"─ Huh."

Theresa turned away just because she couldn't watch.

"Inspiring reunion. And did I just say that?

With that said, the woman threw Guyel's neck unconstitutionally. The neck rolls gobbly beneath Felix's feet all over the mud.

"─ Ensign Therese, I'm sorry, but I withdraw my foreword. Stay away from me for a little while."

"Yes......"

Though I replied, Theresa's eyes are shaking. Felix smiled slightly at her like that.

"Don't worry - Captain Matthew. I need her escort, please."

"Ha! I'll take care of it!

Matthew slaps Don on the chest. Now. With Theresa looking anxious on her ass, Felix moves on to the woman. And the woman has also moved on with an inorganic look on her face.

The two legs stop at the position of whether or not each other's swords arrive.

"Are you sure with the perception that you are the Commander?

"Definitely. Can I ask you one question, too?

The woman asks with one thin finger up.

"As far as I can answer"

"It has been called Felix since earlier, but you are one of the three empire generals. Felix von Zuga - General, can't you go wrong?

"... yes, you're right"

"Thank you for your answer"

"May I ask your name, too?

"─ Amelia Strast"

Amelia turned away from her inorganic expression - with a miserable grin.
