One man sitting on the ground bowing his head to the man in front of him.

"(So?

The sitting man talks with a bite as he shivers his body.

"(Those guys came into the settlement we took after we killed all our people. I was afraid of the fire that night and I couldn't get into the fight and I was scared in my tent. Then, then.)"

The tremor grew and the man scratched his arm .

"(So why are you walking over here with food?)"

"(I don't know! If they'd found me and thought I was going to kill them, they would have caught me and given me food, water and a box to drive me to this neighborhood. I was full of when they would kill me)"

"(Right)"

"(I walked horribly from wolves and demons towards the south. When I saw the fort, I burst into tears.)"

"(Okay. So only five junior dragon soldiers of the Grand Kingdom also returned. And you were the only one who came back to the meadows. [M] Were there any other survivors?

"(Two. There was this guy with me who was hiding in a tent and I grabbed him. That's all I know)"

"(Hey, maybe two more will be back. But don't fail to be vigilant about the meadows. contact scouts and surveillance forts)"

"(Ha)"

The master of the fort instructed his men to keep in close contact with the watching fort on the meadow side.

A few days later, two men returned from the meadow. We both carried boxes on our backs and it was a return to the fort with water bags and food.

A few more days later, an early horse jumped in from the imperial side.

"(Report! Reinforcements from Imperial City. Apparently His Majesty sent reinforcements here)"

"(Holy shit! I couldn't expect reinforcements, but yes, some of the idiots in the court must have panicked because of the tragic defeat of the Grand Kingdom. Well good good)"

"(Plus, he says it's General Lyoka who leads the reinforcements)"

Those who are in the fort stand in the words of the preaching of the early horses.

"(When it comes to General Lyoka, is that General Lyoka for sure? Not that the names are just the same......)"

"(It's that General Lyoka. Your Majesty seems to have pleaded for immediate command)"

General Lyoka has no strangers if he is a fighter in the empire. Many of them listened to General Lyoka's martial arts as a child, admired him and waved him a bar-cut.

"(All right, you guys, I don't know if the barbarians are coming, but even if they do, buy some time here and General Lyoka will come and you can win)"

The morale of the fort was rising.

A few more days later, another early horse came to the fort.

"(Report! It appears that General Lyoka is camping in the south. And have ordered us to report immediately when the meadow people show up and defend the fort)"

"(Ok)"

"(And if the fort's defense doesn't go well, they don't mind retreating)"

"(Mm, well, tell him I got it)"

The day after the message, there was a report of an army of meadows coming to the fort.

At the fort on the border with the meadows, preparations for interception began in a hurry.

The fort, which was broken down ten years ago, has also been repaired considerably by Shaoran Shaorn parents and children.

Everyone stops the meadows here. Even if I can't, I was determined to join General Lyoka in battle.

The first man's box was wide on the meadow side, and one of the slaves opened it in horror.

There were a number of black bundles inside. The slave man screamed, but immediately reviewed them again.

There was a small bunch of hair tied together in a plant string that surprised me.

"(This is... Hair. Barbarians.)"

In the Empire, there is a custom of burning the hair of soldiers who died on the battlefield simultaneously after the war. I concluded that this is what the barbarians would have heard from the people of the kingdom.

The second and third also showed their hair in the box as they opened it next to the entrance to the fort when they arrived at the fort, and said the barbarians made them hold it when they heard about the customs of the empire.

They would have liked to have shown the meadows what was in there properly.

But the fort soldiers also did not realize once there was an unnaturally exuberant space in the large box of dirt placed there.

The moment the meadows approached the fort, the box collapsed and a big explosion broke out.

They were defeated by the inextinguishable fire response in the fort and the imminent formation of a prairie army.

I was ashamed that the general who kept the fort's defense could not even protect it for a day, but chose to rendezvous with General Lyoka rather than crush it here. I immediately decided to withdraw.

During the retreat, arriving at the settlement closest to the fort, what they saw was the sight of no one preparing to flee the settlement as one.

I think this happened because of their defeat too soon. They notified the settlers to flee quickly and assisted them.

When I put them together and took them, they weren't just as ready in the next settlement.

Even in the settlement they had gathered the people of the settlement, but there they were caught up by the people of the meadows.

We couldn't afford them enough to fight while protecting the settlers we brought on to flee.

In just one bump, the generals who led them were ejected by Jumka's arrows, and those who could fight in total collapse were killed, those who could not fight, the women were offended, and the men were taken to the army led by General Lyoka as prisoners.

~ Jumka ~

The fort on the border with the Empire is burning.

I guess this Temsy operation went well, too.

There is a large firepillar up in the fort.

"You did it, Master Jumka."

Build a neighborhood under your eyes and smile back bitterly at Sequilo.

"No, you can still sleep today."

"No, I'm fine. I will fight beside Master Jumka properly."

I have trouble being told that with a powerless smile.

Because when I returned the three men near the fort, I had them monitored by Sekiro so that they would not be attacked by wolves or demons.

I told him I could stay asleep today because I let him watch me three times from morning to evening, well, I'm gonna be out front today. No.

"Well fine. So, what's up?

"Especially when it comes to this, they don't try to avoid where the wolves are somehow going straight. The first guy, the second guy, the last guy, he was about to get hit by four heads."

Well, well, I don't live in the meadows, and I don't know where I am with the magic of the wind like we do. Hmm?

"Hey, Sekiro, you've been doing surveillance all by yourself."

"Yes."

"Phew, stay there for a second"

On my instructions, Sekiro shall be Kyoton.

I checked with Temsy and Temsy was surprised.

See if you didn't see the wolf being shot (where he was) at the Chiefs' Council the night he dropped the fort, and six heads had been witnessed.

Temsy also called Sequilo in recognition of his achievements.

"Sequilo"

"Yes, my chief"

"From today on you are a medium warrior. Longa clan chief Temzi acknowledges that"

"Huh? Ah! Yes."

What a tight middle-sized warrior was born.
