Empire History July 23, 1023.

The morning mist (Asagiri) is also about the sunless early morning.

The Berk Fortress, a frightening number of horseback riders and infantry lined up in front of the main entrance.

Horse hissing is cutting fog and shaking the air, and the armor of a large number of soldiers is playing heavy bass.

Within the Grand Empire of Grants, the Guardian of the South, and the 4th Imperial Army 20,000 - 10000.

Everyone's vitality is boosted from all over his body, and tension and exaltation go hand in hand with a fierce look.

Well-maintained, state-of-the-art armor. The ambition was further enhanced by wearing it.

Its right-wing, 2,000 commands are entrusted to - the Grants Empire, the 6th Imperial Princess, and the "Holder of the Flaming Emperor".

- Celia Estreya Elizabeth von Grants.

The girl, who makes the close ones and family call her nickname Liz, gave a horse to the big man.

"Tris, I don't hear too many rumors about that General Keelo, but what about the ability?

Having tea hair with gray hair, and stroking a beard with equally gray hair, Tris shrugged to eagle fried.

"Naturally, the princess doesn't know, because General Keelo is a shadow. You'll never hear that name in the middle."

"Shadow?"

"There was a monster in General Keelo's sync. The battlefield was always the same with him, and he could not see the sun."

"That's..."

"You're General Roing. Because of the extraordinary talent of General Roing, General Keelo took all the feats he had initiated. Still, I was promoted thanks to my steady accomplishments, but now I'm called Shadow General and so on."

"That's again... but if you've struggled so hard, the command doesn't seem to be a problem."

Tris roared at Liz's words.

"... I wonder."

"Something bothering you?

"We hear General Keelo tends to hate talented people because of his shadow drive."

"Does that mean you prefer those who worked harder than geniuses?

"Well put, yes. To put it badly, keep the talented away."

"So if it's worked out so far, I don't think it's a problem, but isn't it?

"Keeping the talented away means narrowing the scope of the strategy. You don't have a better opinion than yourself, so you deserve it."

Tris looked at Liz with a worrying color in his eyes.

"And princess... have you forgotten?"

"Yeah?"

"The princess is the genius General Keelo hates the most, and that's what bothers me the most."

"Ha, no. If I were a genius, I wouldn't work out every day."

Liz denies it with her hands, but her cheeks are loose whether she is happy to be told she is a genius type.

Tris took a deep sigh before pointing to the "Flaming Emperor" on Liz's hips.

"What is that?

"" Flaming Emperor... "

"I wonder how many Spirit Swords there are in the world."

"Five. But I lost one, and now I have four."

"There are only four Spirit Swords in the world, and one of them is on the Princess's hips."

"Eh, but," it doesn't matter because you possess the Flaming Emperor, does it?

"" There is always a reason why the Flaming Emperor chose the Princess. I'm sure you have talent that you don't even realize. So General Keelo will see the princess as his enemy. "

"Commander of the Fourth Imperial Army. I can't imagine feeling like such a child..."

"Still, I've never gone beyond caution. Be careful."

"……… Okay."

Tris' advice on a difficult face. Liz decided to keep it in mind.

Hiro said that, too.

Reminds me of a boy with an eyelid covering half his face.

Ten days early after he left the land - two days before its departure.

It was when, as usual, Biru was caged in the study at Fortress Berk.

Liz picked up Biru, who was reading without breakfast.

As Liz entered the room, she raised her face from the book, and Biru threw her gaze at me with words.

"Liz. What do you think you need for war?

After a roundabout of abrupt questions.

"Soldiers, food. Ah, more info!

And Bilu nodded at Liz's answer.

'Sure, those three are important. But there's a reason to start a war. "

Biru, who closed the book, stares straight at Liz.

"Daiichi decided to talk about it again later, and now let's talk about information -"

The look on Bilu's face is no longer as young as it was earlier.

(This face again)

This boy has a number of faces.

I usually have a ruthless look on my face that corresponds to a weak year but I don't know what I'm thinking on the battlefield.

And it's a dazzling look that comes to mind when you tour your wits like you do now.

What the hell is he really like, I want him to be the usual bath for the year if possible.

Liz listened to him, hoping so.

"- I will keep the intervener lurking in the enemy country for years, decades and years until the time comes. On the basis of that accumulated information, we'll start preparing for the war against reports of recent developments."

Bilu closes the book he had in his hand.

"With the support of the people for there is great justice, the training and morale of the soldiers are impeccable. Food was well stocked, and information on enemy countries was available. All you have to do is start a war - '

But once I cut the word, Billu said.

'Sometimes you lose while all of this is in place. If the Allied Commander was unable to use the information.'

To the words Liz leans her neck.

"Isn't that why you have a Tabernacle?

"He who keeps his tabernacle close to him as he admonishes himself is proof that he is well aware of his shortcomings. I think people like that are capable. But, you know, it's not just commanders like that, don't forget that some commanders keep those who are better than you and gather those who are less talented than you."

The commander, whose title is the only fine one, is everywhere, east and west, in ancient times.

Many mortals envy the talents of others. Those who are talented will therefore be picked and disappeared without standing on the surface stage if they are not blessed by their superiors.

Liz, a woman with a chosen lineage of "flaming emperors" and even royalty, wouldn't be funny at all from them.

"Sometimes Liz's rank is given command because he's a Major General, but sometimes he can be added to someone's Tabernacle. One thing to be careful of then is not to deny it, no matter how many commanders are wrong, in front of the Tabernacles. Commanders with damaged self-esteem will give you many trials. '

"But if you don't point me out wrong, it's gonna be a big deal."

'So I'll be ready. so that whatever happens can be handled. You have to keep in close contact with each unit leader. "

'But can you deal with me?

"You should make full use of the title 6th Crown Princess. You have a flaming emperor, so they'll be glad to hear from you.

Quietly spreading his hands, Biru let his black eyes shine.

"The soldiers will surely listen to the words of you, loved by the Flaming Emperor. It will work when it comes. '

"When should I come?"

Bilu couldn't tell me the answer just because he smiled.

Then Biru looked like he came up with a garlic prank,

"Shall we talk about justice next?"

And Biru moves his mouth lightly -.

(The conversation was over when the sun set...)

I have a headache just because I remember. Liz looked forward as she shook her head.

The fog is already clear and the horizon is vast. Liz called out to Tris as she cleverly manipulated the horse.

"Tris."

"Yes. What can I do for you?"

"Thousand, hundred, ten, find out the corporal's name."

Tris tilted his neck. Because the name of each of the 2,000 troop leaders she leads should be remembered.

So I thought about it, and Tris turned his face to Liz.

"What if it belongs to all the army?

"That's right."

Liz looks up at the clear sky.

Sometimes it's cool in the early morning, but soon the sunlight will heat up the ground, so it will be hit by the nagging heat.

"If General Keelo fails, we have to be prepared."

I hope that ends in vain, but it's the battlefield that doesn't know what's going to happen.

Liz tells her majestically, hoping that she would be worried.

"I asked for it. Tris."

"Ha. Yes, I do. I'll find out right away."

Tris, who draped his head respectfully on the horse, disappeared into the wave of soldiers as he circled his horse's head.

It was when Liz, who saw it, grabbed the pattern of the Flaming Emperor.

A number of drums are beaten and sounds rush through between the soldiers.

With the central flag where General Keelo is, Liz raises her hand and sends a signal to the flag bearer.

A crest flag featuring lily flowers was raised in the wind on the red ground raised by Liz, and a lion's crest flag was also raised simultaneously on the gold land of the Royal Grants.

Thus all armies promptly begin marching towards the Principality of Lichtein.

Grants Great Empire, General Keelo, the new commander entrusted with the Fourth Imperial Army.

His body, which turns 54 this year, is magnificent rather than decaying, giving young people a temper that they still can't beat.

Thanks to the passing of General Roing, who was given command of the Fourth Imperial Army, he flied the heat to all the armies willingly.

"I will make their blood pay for the felony that the Spirit King has unlawfully broken into in his sacred territory!

General Keelo pulls out his sword and raises it to heaven. At the same time, the drum was pounded.

Then the voices of the soldiers rise and shake the tympanic membranes comfortably.

"All armies, advance!

General Keelo giggled at the good opportunity he finally had to tour as he looked over at the army moving forward.

The deputy walking next door also has a loose expression.

"The time has finally come for His Excellency's name to strike all over the continent."

General Keelo nodded at the words.

"That's why we need a complete victory."

General Keelo looks far with a bitter face.

36 years have passed since the first battle.

The feat he had so far initiated was taken away by General Roing, who made him suffer from much spicy acidity.

He even gave up on seeing the eyes of the sun until his life was over.

"It didn't make so much difference at first..."

And, General Keelo mutters.

He took three ranks and decorated a gorgeous first line, giving it a good rank.

It was only after the second half of 40 that he became a general, against which General Roing became a general in the second half of 30, and by the time he was 40, he was promoted to a general.

"The difference gradually began to open, and when I realized it, it was General Shadow. What a miserable life."

With his tactics, with his force, he could never catch up with General Roying.

That is why General Keelo became blind and jealous of the talented.

In welcoming his tabernacle, he sorted out those who were close to the same situation as himself.

The deputy who accompanies the neighbor is also a brilliant one - Count Bunadara - a man who was cut off from his path of birth by Aura and flown to the border.

"But the opportunity has finally come around. Don't miss this."

"I know."

"And what will your Excellency do now? Your Majesty has ordered us to take control of the northern part of Liechtenstein territory."

"Then it's not good to be called to the center. Everyone must have a surprising outcome."

"............... if"

"The capital of the Principality of Liechtenstein as it is - will strike down Azbakar"

The deputy was stunned and his open mouth could not be blocked.

Sometimes it's too little for 10000. I'm also suspicious of the morale of the soldiers.

Azbakal is near the Grants Great Empire, but still has more than 80 cells (240 km).

He seemed unsure whether to advise him to reconsider, and his deputy silenced him.

On the shoulder of the troubled deputy, General Keelo laid his thick hand.

"The Duchy of Lichtein has reduced that number in last month's defeat. There are no 6,000 troops they can mobilize right now. Besides, I hear the Duke's abandoned courage is fading day by day. I'm telling you, what you've been cultivating over the years should be attacked."

The deputy raised his face and saw General Keelo.

Deepening his grin, General Keelo said with certainty.

"Why don't we go to the center together? Let the central high-ranking officials mock the borderline aristocrats and blow a bubble. Defeat Azbakar so that your Lord can regain his defect in Ferzen again."

Seeing powerful words and overflowing ambitions, strays disappeared from the Deputy's eyes.

Having glimpsed it satisfactorily, General Keelo quickly builds his plans for the future in his head.

(The barracks can be maintained to some extent. There is no problem with food if it is looted in the Principality of Liechtenstein. It is a slave state. My conscience never hurts. Give the soldiers a spare share and their morale will be greatly appreciated. One stone and two birds is this. If you use that momentum to attack and destroy the Principality of Lichtein... it's not my dream that Non will turn into a Loing and become a General)

I can't complain about the Fourth Imperial Army's proficiency.

Had this been a private soldier, I would have been satisfied in the northern part of the country.

but now he is in command of the Fourth Imperial Army.

He is a strong soldier trained by General Roing in action with sweat and blood.

I will take the position of general in the army you raised.

General Keelo smiled uncomfortably at the sun that dazzled him.
