Castle City Emlead Military Zone Barracks

General Brad of the Second Army and Major General Olivia of the Eighth Army, who are planning to attack Fort Astra as the first stage of a major counter-offensive operation, were about to hold a military conference at the command post. Lieutenant-Colonel Liese and Lieutenant-Colonel Claudia, respectively. In addition, Lieutenant General Adam, the chief of the Second Army, and Major Ashton of the Eighth Army, who has gained a reputation as a warlord, take their seats.

And from the Mechia side of the god kingdom, which plays a part in the attack, there were thousands of Amelia who led 10,000 soldiers.

"As is already well known, Mekia the Shinto Kingdom will join us in this battle. I'm sure some of you already know each other, but let me introduce you again."

Brad urged Amelia, a light-blue-haired woman who stood up from her chair, to jump up her back and answer with an expressionless face.

"I am Amelia Strast, one thousand men of the Saint Shang Army. ─ ─ Greetings."

At the end of the odorless greeting, Olivia said, "Hi Amelia," and slapped me. Amelia glanced at Olivia like that and immediately turned to you. Amelia didn't feel well about Olivia just because of the short exchange.

(I'm sure Mekia has sent excellent people to show her power. But I won't even say to the lady, but please send me a bright one.)

It is important to know how to keep pace with the god Mekia in the coming battle. But Amelia's attitude was enough to make her feel anxious. Brad announces the military council with a deep sigh inside.

"─ ─ Now, you may have heard the general guidelines, but the task is to get the Eighth Army, led by Miss, to Orstead, the Imperial capital, as intact as possible. Therefore, the attack on Fort Astra will be carried out by the Second Army and the Sanctuary Army, headed by a thousand Amelians."

That said, there were those who raised their hands immediately. He disabled 30,000 troops on the Northern Front and was named a rare warrior by Paul - Ashton Zenefiller.

(Well, well. What do rare warriors talk about...)

Brad was intrigued to give Ashton permission to speak.

"Is Fort Astra still guarded by the Red Knights?

Intelligence says the Red Knights have moved to Fort Keel.

"So information manipulation worked."

Well, that's the thing.

Rumors have spread that the Red Knights and the Tianyang Knights, the main warriors of the Empire, are taking large-scale military action toward Fort Keel. Fortress Keel is the key to the empire's invasion of the kingdom, and we will have to consolidate our defenses regardless of the truth.

"... may I join the elite troops of the Eighth Army?

"Why? I think the Second Army and the Sun Xiang Army would be enough if they weren't the Red Knights. Even though it's only the elite, I don't know what it means to be part of the Eighth Army."

"We must go deep into the Empire. It is easy to imagine that not only Fort Astra, but also various obstacles await."

So?

"In other words, when it comes to the attack on Fort Astra, I want the Second Army and the Sacred Shore to make it through with the least possible sacrifice."

Brad was forbidden to be somewhat disappointed in Ashton, who lined up ideally and beautifully, to say the least. Nothing is easier than carrying what he says.

"It's too late to say this to Major Ashton, but it takes a lot of time and effort to drop the fort."

"Of course you're right. But what if we could drop Fort Astra with minimal sacrifice and in the shortest possible time?

"... you're telling me that Major Ashton is going to use the measures he took at Fort Caspere again?

Ashton's plan, which he presented at Fort Caspere, was possible because he knew there was a way out of the fort. It can't be used for this operation.

Ashton smiled bitterly.

"That was just an idea in the first place. And this time, none of the conditions are met."

"You know that, and yet you drop the fort with minimal sacrifice and with minimal time?

"Is it necessary to improve morale?"

You sound like the Commander-in-Chief.

When he smiles and looks at Ashton, he swims his gaze flashy.

"By the way, is Major General Olivia deeply involved?

"Yeah, yeah. I will make full use of Olivia's notorious name."

"Are you trying to discredit you by raising the flag of Vallade Storm again?

Claudia stares at Ashton. It was only Lise who set him up with such a help.

"Claudia seems to disagree, but I agree. I wonder if we can make the most of Major General Olivia's martial name in this case. It has been proven to be effective in previous battles. ─ ─ You know Claudia, right?

The previous battle is definitely about the battle that took place in the Flyberg Plateau. Certainly, Vallad Storm's flag of emblems, combined with the reaper synonym, had an enormous effect.

Claudia is overwhelmed by Reese's theory.

"But I don't know..."

"I don't know why Claudia spits so much, but stop pestering the fight. This is a battle for the survival of the Farnest kingdom."

Bringing personal affection to the battle was similar to or closer to Lizzie, but Brad didn't dare speak. Because when you say it, you're bound to fall asleep.

Claudia acknowledged the reluctance.

"─ ─" Major Ashton. "

Commander Reese, thank you.

Ashton lowered his head to Lise as he gazed at Claudia's face.

"So you think Major Ashton can handle Fort Astra?

"Are you sure?

"You can do it now that you have spoken the grand language. Besides, I'm a kind officer who respects the motivation of his men."

"... isn't it just a mess?

Lize murmured with a voice that only Brad could hear.

Commander Reese, did you say anything?

"I didn't say anything. I was just impressed by my subordinate's superiority."

As Brad exhaled in a refreshing smile, Amelia raised her hand with an emotionally invisible expression.

Brad allowed the speech by nodding lightly.

"You mean Major Ashton is in command, not General Brad?

"Well, that's what happens to Fort Astra."

"I've heard a lot about him, too... but I can't bear to be shaken off by a Major. Therefore, if the commander sees any blur, the Saint Shang Army will move independently."

Amelia, who gave Ashton a cool glimpse, stood up violently and left the command post on her own. Claudia said to Ashton, who scratches his head as he watches, "Why don't you say anything back?" and it's stuck tightly. Reese looked at them with a smile for some reason.

(Were you tired of bad thoughts and even a lump of pride? Ha, that's a lot of trouble. It would have been easier for me if I had been either Lord Cornelius or Paul's mother.....)

Brad scratched his head as Olivia stared at the sky in the window with a faceless face.
