As soon as I finished the military debate and was outside, I was attacked by eye-catching sunlight.

Biru narrowed his eyes and made a shadow with his hands, looking around.

A large number of soldiers are moving around in a hurry outside. As the ground was trampled and vandalized many times, the sand was scattered with the wind as it mixed with the air.

The wind rocks the black hem into a prank. The flag of the flag bearer was also swimming gracefully as if to spread its wings in the great sky.

So Biru noticed a change in the crest flag.

"You're working fast."

All General Keelo's seal flags were unloaded in the main battalion, and instead a lily - the Sixth Empress's seal flag - was erected on the red ground.

That means Liz took command from General Keelo. But just because you took command doesn't make sense if you can't win this fight.

First, the establishment of command - but

"I don't think that's a problem."

Biru turned his eyes to the red-haired girl. The look of Liz working mixed up with the soldiers. Beside it is the figure of Meerje, who is confused and helps. They were packing sand in the bag.

"I know we're all tired, but let's just try a little harder!

"Princess, we are the only ones in this kind of mess………"

"It's okay. I'm doing it because I want to. Don't worry about it. Just keep working."

"Certainly……"

The troop leader shook his body with gratitude, releasing a loud voice.

"Don't make your princesses suffer! We'll be done in a minute!

A powerful voice returns from the soldiers around us. and at the same time a voice containing wolves was delivered to his ear from the curtain behind him.

"General, please hold on!

"Why are you doing this……. Quickly to the military doctor!

General Keelo is transported with the shoulders of the two tabernacles. Bilu smiled bitterly as he glanced sideways. Over time, it will go back to normal. I didn't think it would be so volatile that I lost my mind, but it shouldn't be broken.

"Still, you should think about it if it's no longer available..."

There are quite a few circumstances that make use of General Keelo, but Bilu sighs one thing that doesn't go as well as he wants. Then he approached the last one who came from the curtain and called out.

"May I have a word?

"Wow, is it me!?

With his spine stretched, he is a cabinet member who was about to be kicked out for disputing General Keelo. Liz's appearance on the way out took on a saved form.

Because the royal family called me out - it seems more nervous about meeting the descendants of the second emperor than it is. Biru laughed languidly, slapping him on the shoulder and letting him take an easy-going stance.

"Apart from what I just said, there's something I want you to do."

"What is it?

Bilu had earlier instructed the military to retreat quickly. Liz's work is for that. It is a retreat after hitting some measures in case the other person notices.

There are measures that can be taken to win without retreating, but that will do more harm to your allies. What Biru wants is a complete victory - he has to surrender his opponent and make him assume he can't win, and fight to connect later.

"I don't mind because it's the most recent, so could you bring me a report just addressed to General Keelo?

You understand what Biru is trying to say, the look of the tabernacle tightens. After showing a bare gesture to think for a while, the tabernacle nodded quietly.

".................. ok. I'll bring it to you soon."

After dropping off the back of the departing tabernacle, Bilu proceeds with his steps. I was going to help Liz and the others work. Those who stand above, not just the commander, must be role models, people do not follow merely by order. If you marched as deep into enemy ground as this one did, that's very important. A meal is later than a soldier's, to perform his duties silently without complaining of dissatisfaction.

It is a serious matter that is simple but involves morale. It is not visible, but it will later produce dramatic effects.

"Liz, I can help you too."

Liz turned around, stopping her hand from working. Wipe the sweat that has surfaced on your forehead and tilt your neck.

"Hiro has something else to do."

"Each unit leader was notified of the change of command, and instructions were sent for the future. Besides, there seems to be no confusion as far as I can see. All you have to do is wait for the scouts to come back."

From what I hear, Liz seemed to be in close contact with each troop leader. I don't know what you're thinking in your mind - but, anyway, no one put defiance on the table. I can confirm from here that it's working as ordered. All we have to do is wait for the scouts to return, and until then, Biru will be out of hand.

Liz said dissatisfied if she still couldn't convince me.

"We're going to have to rely on Hiro from now on. I want you to keep your strength for a little while... that's all I fought for. You're a little tired, aren't you?

"If I tell you I'm not tired, you're lying, but I'm the only one who doesn't do anything."

Liz looks troubled at Biru, who shrugs her shoulders.

"Hmm... even if you force me to rest, I think I will work somewhere, and it would be safer to stay within sight of you."

"Ha ha, I'm not a child……………………"

"Really? Hiro will be gone as soon as you take your eyes off him."

"……… come on, let's work without talking"

I don't know what will happen if I follow any more. Biru began his work mixed up with the soldiers to delude them.

After a while, the scourge returns.

"His Highness Hilo. As you ordered, I came to see how the enemy was doing."

"Good luck."

Bilu handed the water bag and waited for the scouts to get his breath ready.

"As His Highness Hiro anticipated, the enemy army's slave will seems to be losing ground."

"Did you not seem to be able to move immediately?

"No, we are bringing camel cavalry forward with slaves in rear position. He seemed ready to storm at any time."

"If this one shows a gap, will it bite?"

"Seems so."

"But the policy doesn't seem to solidify. I'm getting ready for this one. Shake it up."

Bilu raises his hand. I sent a signal to a soldier with a drum. A flashy drum is pounded. The sound of the drum shook the air and was delivered to each unit by propagating it.

The first thing that moved was right-wing horseback riding. We started marching east. The left-wing horseback riding that was causing the rear to bypass follows.

Bhiru carried what he had made from his earlier work. Then when you call the dragon, it crosses its back.

"Liz, the rest is as explained in the military council."

"Okay. Be careful."

"Yeah. I asked for it."

"Guys, let's get this operation started! Act fast!

To be held back by Liz's voice, Bilu proceeded east on the "dragon dragon.

"Yeah. The wind is good."

Biru looked up at the sky and groaned.

***** ***** ***** ***** ***** *****

The factions of the Principality of Richter were in a panic at the sounds of the drums that echoed.

"Enemy attack! Enemy horseback riding is coming!

"Take the Camel Cavalry!

"Put the slaves in front of you and turn them into walls! And don't let the archers in front of you, let them shoot the arrows!

It is General Rankiel who looks at the blood-changing aristocrats in disgust and then bites them in the back teeth.

"You took the lead…………"

It was about a moment ago that I learned that the commander of the Fourth Imperial Army had been replaced. So General Rankiel caught sight of the enemy's way out by putting the camel cavalry in front of him in an attempt to find out. The next thing you know is that the opponent is alert, and the arrow tip that tried to hit a handful of troops in order to know the hostility - a group of enemy horseback riders started moving forward.

"Is the flow over there?"

They are at the forefront at an exquisite time.

If this was the strength of the 6th Empress, it would be terrible. Even if it wasn't, I'm pretty sure our intellectuals joined us.

That must be the Grants Great Empire, with a lot of talent.

That's why I can't even just be impressed.

"Don't panic! Expand the camel cavalry to the left and right!

Whatever the intent. We just have to avoid being besieged.

"Get the archers in front of you! The enemy came all the way out here. This is an opportunity!

Then I realize, it was that man at the head of the horseback riding.

"After all……"

The wounds still left by the man in black are deep. Slaves aside, they stick their fears on their faces to see if they are even telling the regular soldiers the story. I'll make you feel confident to wipe away. At best let him use it. Rankiel broke out to crush his anxiety.

"Archer, set up!

And, when Rankiel instructed, a strange sight spread in front of him.

Horse-riding groups of enemies spread out on the side and dispersed. The dust rises heavily and the sky is dyed brown.

"Under the wind…………"

The horseback riding group disappeared in the dust. Only the roar and roar of horseshoes can be heard. It is a less pleasant situation, but it should be pleasing to see the man in black disappeared. The vast majority of the soldiers didn't realize he existed.

"Yet you're going to wreak a siege in the sand......? If that's the case, it's sweet."

Lanquille looked over on all sides and then raised her voice.

"Left wing, move the right wing forward! The first runs backwards!

On the contrary, Lanquille skipped the instructions in an attempt to set up a siege.

Then after a while,

"... no enemies coming?

I noticed an anomaly.

But the sound of a drum, the sound of a soldier, and the roar of a horseshoe are still rocking the eardrum.

"No... are you staying away?

The sound is dwindling over time. It's too late when you think you've been conspired. When the dust cleared, there was no sign of a group of horseback riders. General Rankiel tried to conceive of what purpose he had and did this, but had to be interrupted by the voices of the soldiers.

"Here, it's the man in black! There he is again!

Such a voice was delivered from the front row.

Between the soldiers, chaos blows through and spreads rapidly.

"What the..."

It doesn't even give me time to think. By the time Rankir looked up in surprise, the neighborhood had broken into rows as a noise. That's not all, the soldiers' feet are completely stopped. Rankir remembered his headache and did his hand on his forehead, gazing at the same spot as the soldiers.

A man in black stood.

A thousand soldiers were slaughtered in the back of his brain. I found my body trembling with fear. But Rankir wasn't stupid enough to fall into a thought stop. Slap yourself on the cheek and regain your cool.

Lanquille opened her mouth as she breathed small.

"Quiet! Don't disturb the line!

Rankir's wild voice echoed.

"As it turns out, they're alone. Something to be afraid of!

"But he's a thousand alone!

"Don't be a wolf. I'm prepared for that."

For the measures of the man in black, he had gathered 100 hands to build a team. 100, though elite, would not allow enemies capable of dealing with 1000, but if he could buy time, there would be no problem. Kick the tired Fourth Imperial Army while you nail a man in black here. Then, all you have to do is deal with him carefully. Because there's no way you can chase a lot of defenseless, dispersed enemies by yourself.

"You'll be rewarded."

Rankiel pulled out his hips sword and pointed his sword tip at the flag bearer. A selection of 100 camel cavalry are ahead as vanguards. After a short distance, all armies started moving forward again.

"When the battle between the vanguard and the man in black begins, he raids the Fourth Imperial Army. Until then, we'll follow the vanguard."

"Yes, we will notify each unit"

"Mm-hmm. I asked."

Then Rankir called for a preaching order.

"What is it?

"Tell the vanguards. There is no ex or child in death. Don't forget your purpose is to stop it."

"Certainly!

But no matter how long, the battle never started. The order returns to Lanquille, which I was surprised to hear.

"It was fake!

As the decree seemed to regret it, he blushed with shame and uttered words.

"The man in black is a fake!

"Is...? What do you mean, it's fake?

"I just combined the kernels in the ear sac and covered it with a black cloth."

I heard a heavy noise. It's the sound of what the order dropped off my back. That was just the corner material covered with a black cloth, as the decree said.

"... Ha, what is this?"

I don't have a lot of words for the shock. Does it mean you were so scared that you were caught up in such a child deception that you mistakenly thought it was real?

A preaching order spoke to Lanquille, who was stunned.

"The same thing is still ahead of us."

"…… What?

That was where the Fourth Imperial Army and the Bandits fought. The place was in great sight and could be looked down from all directions. The corpse is scattered and the corner material wearing a black cloth - Katsuyamako stands many as if it were a tomb marker.

"Sounds like you're making fun of me"

However, it was an effective measure. From what everyone knows about the strength of a man in black, it is not necessarily hidden in the shadow of Sayamako, and there is a possibility that the authenticity is mixed. There will be many who are reading equally deeply. That's why I step on two feet.

"Is everything for the purpose of retreating from here, or are you laying down your soldiers on all sides? Either way, I didn't expect to get through this well."

I took my gaze off the graveyard and across the street, I saw the Fourth Imperial Army showing its back and retreating. Bait dressed so badly that you would want to chase him by accident. But if you're going to launch an attack on that one, you have to go straight here. If that was a trap, you would just lose interest in the land or you would go to a dead place.

If the man in black was hiding, I couldn't even see him. It will surely be a loss.

"I made a big detour around here, and I went after him."

Your opponent has just taken an interception stance, or this line could move into battle with it disturbed. It's really cleverly conceived, and it's a beautiful handiwork like a sample.

"I didn't know you would manipulate the battlefield so vaguely while being an enemy land...... Looks like the other guy's got a monster like" Mars. "

Laughing small enough to mock himself, Rankiel looked up at the sky. The book of the night is about to come down the curtain. If we let go until the hour of heaven, all we wait for is doom. Moving the army as it is emotional would disqualify it as a general.

"The sun sets soon. Looks like you'd better get back to your position."

The look on Rankir's face was shady. Because the road to victory has been dark and closed. While the military's war will wane and morale will decline. If we don't find a way to open it, we're gonna lose.

I found the invisible wall standing large.

***** ***** ***** ***** ***** *****

The sun sets. The wind, which was hot enough to burn my skin, was starting to catch cold air.

There are many bonfires around. Over hundreds of tents were gathering like cities to be surrounded. That's a circle if you look down from the sky.

This is the Fourth Imperial Army camp.

In the center was a large tent with a lily crest flag.

There's no one in there. Who sleeps here - because Liz, the sixth empress, is currently running to boost the morale of the soldiers.

A short distance from the tent was stretched a curtain to conduct a military conference. There should be a sixth princess who is supposed to be the commander... there is no sign of Liz in it, and it is the fourth prince, Biru, who sits on the top of the long desk in the center.

It is General Keelo and his auxiliaries who are seated around the desk.

The first person to open his mouth was Biru.

"This is the reason they got together...... I think you're thinly guessing"

Tapping on a bunch of reports placed on the desk, the tabernacle's complexion turns blue in the bathroom where he puts them in a disgusting way. Nobody tries to give you a face. I know what will happen now.

"General Keelo"

You didn't think your name would be called, General Keelo looked at Biru with a surprised look.

"What am I?

"The report says you instructed some troops to loot food from nearby villages"

"Sourcing food from enemy countries would be fundamental to military law."

"Right. But that presupposes paying the price. It's a bad idea to plunder."

"Beautiful...... Every country will be doing it."

"The Grants Great Empire weighs heavily on military rules. If that's who holds the rank of general, you have to keep it in mind. Your actions against it are not very acceptable."

Billu continued his words indifferently.

"and thus strip the General of his position from you."

"Yes, no matter how much royalty, there can't be such a personnel right! What authority to do something like that!

"That's true. But if I report it to the Ministry of Military Affairs, I'm sure you'll get the same shakedown."

"Th, That is…….."

"If you don't like it, you can either poison me, or you can make me a dead man in the dark."

"I don't want you to get lost."

General Keelo's face caught on. It is a reaction such as being revealed in the chest, as if it were some kind of star. Though Billy thought he was an easy man to understand, he nodded without putting the mockery on the table.

"You did pass a little bit. Sorry, forget it."

"Absolutely. I want you not to underestimate me. There's no way I'm going to imitate that."

"Yeah, I guess so. You are noble and brilliant."

Bilu showed her arms wide open.

"That's why you realize that the only people who are here are the Tabernacles who followed your instructions."

This is the first time you have figured it out when they told you, General Keelo opened his eyes and looked around the face of the Tabernacle.

"Yes, that's true."

"Then you know what I'm trying to say, right?

"…… of course."

You don't seem to understand. I swim my eyes and am confused. Biru decided to send out a help ship to move on, even though he was frightened in his mind by General Keelo's neglect.

"If you don't say it from my mouth, you won't trust me."

When I smile, I raise my hand and raise my index finger.

"If you will follow my instructions in the future, you may ask no questions."

"Become."

"I don't think that's a bad story. Depending on your future accomplishments, you can work to be invited to the center. I mean, it's possible to push you to the General."

"…… Are you sure?

"A brilliant general like you is dull in such a peripheral land."

Biru, deliberately sighing, shook his head.

"But...... many of the violations of this military code are not very concealable. Looks like we're getting word from the unit you ordered."

"Oh my..."

"So I apologize to General Keelo, but I want him to lead the way in tomorrow's showdown"

"That is……"

General Keelo showed an obvious wolf. The Pioneer Squad has a high casualty rate, and many enemies will be targeted when they become its commanders. I can't even snort lightly. So Biru decided to push his back to do it.

"The numbers are high here. You don't have to worry about anything. I don't want to put you on the vanguard without thinking about it. I want you to do something about it."

"Mmmm..."

"There will be no doubt of victory in tomorrow's showdown. But I can't handle it when I'm in the safe rear. Then I can't even invite you to the center."

"So is that."

"Understand. I want someone as good as you to be my general."

"... be sure to sound good in His Majesty's ear"

"I promise. We will definitely report you."

The word swallowed the report that he had died in battle, and Biru offered his right hand when he laughed.

General Keelo grips happily.

"Then I'll do everything I can."

"Good if you were convinced. Let's water each other up until now."

"That's right."

After sitting back in the chair, Biru said to the tabernacles who were silent.

"You will join the vanguard team. Are you sure?

General Keelo leads the vanguard. There's no way they can say no.

"In January or February, those here will be welcomed as heroes in the Imperial capital."

This became the deciding factor. I nod after the Tabernacles have toured.

Biru tries to indulge, but he can't stand it. He laughs thinly. stroke your eyelids to delude you, and then

"Then you all rest in preparation for tomorrow."

"Ha, let's make sure we have a handle for His Highness Hiro!

General Keelo leaves the tent with his voice playing. The Tabernacles learned to follow suit.

With no one left, Biru turns to the corner where the darkness is obsessed.

Gradually, the outline of the person became dewy and the man appeared.

He was one of General Keelo's captains. Closed to Bilu, he kneels.

"A spy snuck into the enemy formation well. And we have 1,500 camels outside the position as instructed."

"You're on schedule. What's going on with this guard?

"We have some holes drilled with strict vigilance, as planned."

"Did the enemy spy sneak in?

"Four so far. We have received a report confirming an intrusion."

"Then please instruct me to get those four."

"Certainly."

"Please wait," Biru called to the tabernacle about to leave.

"You still got something?

"When General Keelo and his entourage are rested, can you spread the word among the soldiers"

"Always."

His expression tells the story that he did so without being told. How much resentment must have accumulated.

"Now, if you'll excuse me."

This time there's really nobody left. Bilu exhales loudly and closes his eyelids.

The bad reviews of General Keelo, who rested before the soldiers, will spread in no time.

In contrast, Liz doesn't rest and works for the soldiers. This definitely reduces the number of people dissatisfied with Liz. It would also lead to improved morale. i.e. unanimous solidarity. Everyone keeps fighting for Liz at all costs.

"We need to reduce the number of enemies."

Bilu was outside when he stood up. The bonfire shakes and the wind strokes my cheeks at night.

I pointed my foot at the place where I was capturing Guarda.

Many soldiers are on guard outside the curtain building. Bilu went inside with words of labor.

The demon tribe who noticed Biru - gives you the face that Guarda was lying on the ground.

"Are you alone?

"That's true. I have something important to tell you. If you had someone's eye, you wouldn't be able to crack a belly and talk, would you?

"Well, if I crack your belly, it'll be black and you won't see anything."

"You're tough."

"More than that, I guess Meerje is safe, right?

"It's okay. I'm letting you pretend to be a samurai and put it on Liz."

"I see... I hope you're okay. So what's the story?

Biru watched the Guarda for a while and cut the rope that was tying him up.

Look at the rope that fell to the ground. Guarda turns her suspicious face to Bilu.

"What are you going to do?

"You can't talk slowly like that."

"You're changing. There's so much daring about prisoners."

"Let's keep it as a compliment."

Bilu took the liquor bottle out of his black clothes as he lowered his hips to the ground.

"A trick?

"I'm a good storage man."

I shrug my shoulders and throw the liquor bottle at the girder. I said my neck tilted guarda was puffy.

"You don't drink?

"I'm a minor. Yeah, I'll tell you before you suspect me, it's not poisoned."

"I'm not worried about that. If you don't have to take the means to get around, you can easily slash me in the neck."

With the lid of the lid of the liquor bottle open, the garda gained momentum and poured the liquor bottle over Biru and offered it.

"So you really don't drink?

"You said you were a minor, and you still have work to do."

"Then stop talking nonsense and say it out loud. What kind of challenges are you going to plug in?"

"Let me not hesitate to say that tomorrow's battle will also involve the Slave Liberation Army"

You expected it. Guarda speaks out her objections without moving.

"We can't work together. I don't know if I can get in the way.

"There is no problem. I'm not thinking about collaborating."

"What are you up to?

Guarda skipped a sharp gaze. Bilu flushes it cool and opens his mouth.

"I want to keep my power warm."

"You're just gonna let the Slave Liberation Army fight? If you do that, there's a chance that you'll be stripped of your fangs."

"No, the vanguard of the Fourth Imperial Army will let us fight first. The number is about 1000. Then you'll be less dissatisfied."

"……… Hmm."

"And I'm prepared in return. Let's free the slaves when the battle is over. And mercenaries, too. I can offer you a place to live."

"That's a breakthrough."

"Wouldn't you?

"That's all the good stuff. There seems to be something behind it."

"Exactly. But it's not hard."

"Depends on the content."

Guarda with her liquor bottle on the ground turns a serious eye if she doesn't miss one foot at a time.

Bilu said away without even showing a bare gesture to think in response.

"I want you to kill General Keelo, who leads the vanguard team, and his surroundings, confused by the turmoil."

"………………… This is insane."

"It would be preferable if the vanguard team could be wiped out altogether. In the meantime, only they want to make sure they are the deceased"

"Can I ask why?

"General Keelo lay too many sins. That's why."

"... have you burned the neighboring villages?

"Did you know that?

"He still commanded the Slave Liberation Army. That kind of information goes right into my ear."

"Then the story is quick. I am..."

His eyes never laughed with a smile on his mouth, and Bilu shrugged with a frightening face that froze his spine.

"I have decided not to tolerate those who harm innocent people."

The sound of biting my teeth in a quiet space echoed.

The silence between the bundles comes. Guarda with her eyes down holds the liquor bottle and leaks a sigh from her mouth

"I think it's better to lay down your own hands than leave it to others."

"If I had been a fool who wouldn't have thought about it before, I would have killed him myself."

"As a general, a nobleman with a name."

"Right. Never low."

The Nickle family of General Keelo is one of the most prestigious of the southern aristocracies. If it were to kill its current owner, there is a risk that the Southern nobility would turn to the enemy. That's why I kept it alive, and there is a risk that future activities will be hampered because I have a grudge against Bilu.

"Being in the way of punishing and letting live, or killing with your own hands… Then make it a deceased on the battlefield -"

After Guarda spoke in Biru's mind, she deepened her grin as if she was good at it.

"- Are you going to impersonate the Principality of Liechtenstein?

"Right. I wonder if you would like me to use it as a negotiating material."

Guarda made a difficult face and showed a bare gesture to think about. Then I empty the liquor bottle all at once and throw it away.

"...... fine. I'll take their necks for sure."

Guarda, ready to speak, pointed to Biru with the liquor bottle in his hand.

"Bring some fine liquor next time"

Guarda fell asleep with her arm as a pillow. I guess that means we're done talking.

When I tried to get out of the tent, I remembered something, and Guarda twisted herself and turned to Bilu.

"I tried to sleep by accident, but am I allowed to stay like this?

"You can stay sharp. Tomorrow I need you to work for me."

"Let us be sweet to your words and let us be so"

Bilu called out to the guard soldier as he was outside.

"Don't go inside until I get here tomorrow morning."

"You're welcome!"

Then Biru turns his foot to his tent. On that road, a lightweight soldier came running.

saluted. When he kneels, he says sooner than later, letting his breath bounce.

"We have captured enemy spies."

"I understand. Bring me to my tent."

"Sir."

Biru, who stopped his feet, looked over his head.

Stars shine like gems scattered in the night sky. The gentle moonlight that illuminated the ground made me feel warm when I said I was under the cold sky.

"Beautiful."

Biru, exhaled in white, smiles calmly.

"This won't be the same after 1,000 years."

A woman who once spoke fervently about the night sky floated behind her brain.

A red-haired girl and a woman who looks just like her.

Though they don't look alike at all, their hearts are together as if they were a living copy.

"I wonder what you'd say if you saw it."

Biru turned his gaze upwards and returned to the tent looking at the night sky.
