Shinigami ni Sodaterareta Shoujo wa Shikkoku no Ken wo Mune ni Idaku

──Keel Fortress Commander's Office

Major General Oscar Remnant, the Chief of General Staff of the Knights of Tianyang, gave me detailed instructions one by one. Graden, watching the situation in silence, was rhythmically clapping his desk.

When the last soldier leaves the room, Oscar stands in front of Graden.

My lord, you seem uneasy, but are you worried about something?

"──I don't like it."

“What do you dislike?”

"It's decided like their battle."

It's already been more than two weeks since the battle began. The Keel Fortress's high defenses and the struggle of both Knights still prevent the Royal Army from attaching itself to the Fortress. Despite the imperial superiority so far, Graden's frustration has continued unabated.

"Even if it is said to be a battle, it is a favorable situation for our army." I don't know what the junior officer doesn't like, but.... "

Graden's tone naturally turned rough, as Oska's eyebrows became even more dazzling.

"What's going on with the Reaper's movements?" Did you set something up? "

"No, we have received reports that there has been no particularly noticeable movement." I'm sure your Lordship had heard the report..... "

"It's strange that that reaper didn't move on its own." Doesn't Oscar think so? "

In the battle of the Freiberg Plateau, the Reaper raided the Honda after beating Lieutenant General Patrick. He created the trigger for the defeat of the Tianyang Knights. It is a well-known fact that the Reaper was also heavily involved in the defeat of the Southern armies led by General Osvanne and the Red Knights led by General Rosenmarie.

Graden said that it was highly likely that he was acting stupidly in pursuit of a vicious plan this time.

Oscar strokes his chin and opens his mouth.

"Of course, I think we're working on some kind of plan." But this time it's not a field battle, it's a castle battle. "

It's like something got stuck in your back teeth.

That means we can't handle the stupid reaper, but it's easy to do.

The Keel Fortress was a natural stronghold that was considered unstoppable, and the Knights of Tianyang made great sacrifices to conquer it. Therefore, Graden knows better than anyone how to conquer the Keel Citadel.

He knows exactly how to keep the Royal Army at bay if he turns his back, and Oscar's words are by no means wrong.

"Even so, the opponent was Olivia the Reaper." If you think about things within the boundaries of common sense, you will definitely lose your step. "

Oscar nodded mysteriously,

"Certainly, I tend to focus on the power of the Reaper, but I think that what is truly terrifying is its wisdom. If we are to walk on the Shinigami, we must fight with the wisdom of the devil."

"That's right."

The enemies weren't just reapers. Battle-scarred generals such as Cornelius, who was defeated in a direct confrontation, and Goddess Paul were also involved. I couldn't help but be distracted by the Reaper.

(The authority of the Earthbelt Empire will definitely fall if the Royal Army is defeated any longer. The nations that have just been nationalized here will try to join hands with the Farnest Kingdom. In the name of His Majesty, we must absolutely avoid that.

On the other hand, if we crush them here completely, the Kingdom Army's chances of victory will be completely crushed.

Graden felt strongly that this was a watershed for the Empire.
