The war situation in the East has overwhelmingly put the imperial side at a disadvantage. Much was struck by surprise, but the subsequent response from the Imperial side was not such that it could be unleashed immediately.

Oriental uncle declared that he would set the front at the eastern end of Oriental uncle's territory and tried to assemble the army, but it was the border lords who were not convinced of it.

The instructions of the Oriental House are never to abandon the border territory. The eastern tip of the Eastern Uncle Territory is home to a number of fortified castle cities and fortifications in preparation for the invasion of the kingdom. To stop the invasion of the kingdom, putting up a defensive battle there is tactically the right choice.

But even if we know it, the borderline lords cannot easily accept to put their own territories in the hands of the kingdom.

As a result, the Border Lords' Army took the form of being pushed in as they drifted while continuing their resistance without ever going down to defense at once.

"Let's just go down to the fort ahead. It's a robust fort for you. If we go there, we'll be able to set the system up to some extent."

"Okay. What's your damage?

"Twenty percent of them got hit. What about you?"

"We're 30%. It's tough as it is. Should I have honestly backed down as directed by Uncle Oriental?

"If we do that, even if the damage to the soldiers is reduced, the people will. You know that, don't you?

"Oh. But if we keep pushing in, we can't even afford to let the inhabitants get away"

"I know. So get down to the fort. So we manage to stop the invasion of the enemy and buy the inhabitants some time to escape"

Border Lords Army, which continues to descend from the border with the Kingdom. It is preceded by the inhabitants who are fleeing from all over the place. To protect it, each side of the Lords Army is prepared to make sacrifices and continues to resist.

"If you dare to say something good, as a result, the Border Army has been able to assemble. How long will it be if we match the other collars?

"It wouldn't reach 10,000, would it? It's got to be the same for the rest of the army that got hit while we were down here."

"Five times. There's nothing a fort can't prevent."

"It's a story if the rear packing of the kingdom doesn't come. In information, a total of 100,000. Half of them must still be out there somewhere."

"Right..."

"There is also talk of being divided between the two hands. If so, the enemy is fifty thousand."

Fifty thousand, led by the king.

"Don't say that. I wasn't sure I could do it any more. When the king leads, morale is still different"

"This one has no flag to bear. Each side of the border is falling apart."

It's not just numbers. Even in tactical terms, the present empire has lost a great deal to the kingdom. You can't win this.

"... if I had that one"

"We're enemies now, aren't we?

"Is that what you think?

"Don't ask. You'd expect me to think about it, wouldn't you?

"Sure. Anyway, it's not good as it is. We'll coordinate with the chain of command and everything at the fort."

"... you hear me?

"If there are those who do not listen, you can fight only those who listen. That's better."

"Right."

There is no upward or downward relationship with the peripheral lords. That was causing problems in the fight. Each lord fights individually. It was not at the behest of anyone that each army had assembled, but only geographically reached this closed location while being pushed from each territory.

But that was the salvation of the Border Lords Army.

The Border Lords Army, which had retreated to the fort, saw the flag being flickered and everyone was bewildered.

This fort is a fortress on the Lambert Frontier. But it was the Weilburg family flag, not the Lambert family flag, that was flying across the fort. It was a royal flag.

"What's going on! Somebody, explain! I'm Tristan Lambert! Head of the fort! Explain!"

Even Tristan Lambert, the son of the Lambert family, doesn't know what's going on, and he's shouting at the fort.

Did you respond to that cry, the gate of the door opened wide?

That's where I showed up.

"Hildegand!? Oh, no, Your Highness, Lady Hildegand?

Tristan shouts his surprise when he sees Hildegand's face. When I hear that word, the surprise passes further across the board.

"... Long time no see. Have you seen her since college?"

"Ha, yes"

"I knew your face, but I've never heard your name before. You were with the Lambert family, weren't you?

"Yes, it is."

"I apologize for renting the fort on my own. I thought if we waited here, we'd all get together."

"Um, what does Her Royal Highness Lady Hildegand do here?

"Just like I said. I've been waiting for you all."

"Why?"

"Do you need that explanation? This is a battlefield."

"... are you going to fight?

"Yes. That's why I'm here. It's an override, but I'll lead you all. Follow me."

"Can you fight?

"I'm not sure I'm honest when they say that. But someone has to put the army together. I think I'm the one who can do that."

"Indeed Her Royal Highness Lady Hildegand, the royal family, deserves that. But Her Royal Highness must have never been able to leave the battlefield before."

"Yes, I'll leave the tactics to all of you experienced. Because I am a flag. Just leave it to me to judge you when your opinion is broken. If someone has to, I'll do it."

"The lives of soldiers are at stake."

"I've laid down my readiness to bear it"

I won't give in resolutely. That's what he said about Hildegand's face.

"Really...... What about reinforcements?"

"I brought you five hundred. 20,000 of the Imperial Knights will be here later, but it will still take some time."

"Only five hundred..."

"But it's elite. Perhaps we can compete well with your army."

"Our army is an army that has been in action many times, as have the other Border Regiments."

"Two hundred of the soldiers I've brought in are very experienced in action."

"What's that?

"They are former Viscount Kreutz leaders."

"Become!?

"The battle against the kingdom meant that they decided to cooperate as well. And the other three hundred are they who imitated them and worked out. I don't think that's so bad."

"... I don't think so, but behind you, is that it?

You cannot speak the name of Kamui, the Demon King. But it's obvious who Tristan is referring to.

"Unfortunately, I can't respond well to that expectation. Cooperation is only their will, not someone's instructions."

"Really..."

"I've told you everything I can explain right now. I'd like to call it a military conference.

"... ok"

Afterwards, the fort will still be reached by a number of border troops. They react the same way. I am surprised that Hildegand, the royal family, is on the spot, and reluctantly admit it, even though I am anxious that Hildegand will lead the whole thing. Even if we were surprised by Hillndend's strength, we all understood that someone had to put it together.

And where all the borderline lords were in place, the military council was opened.

"Now, before we start the military debate, I need you to do me a favor"

…………

"If you're thinking of going down to the kingdom, please, please offer here now."

"" "Become!?

"I would never harm you if you offered to do so. I promise to get you out of the fort safely with the soldiers who obey you. I promise you this on my honor."

"You want me to believe that?

"Yes, if my name is not enough, I will also honor His Royal Highness Prince Therese"

"Still, it's a promise."

"Even word of mouth promises are promises. We will never break it."

"... So here's the deal. I swear it against Kamui Kreutz, not your own honor."

"Hey? That's"

I know what it means to say this way in this situation. Naturally, those who stop it know what it means, and they have the same intentions.

"... I don't mind. Let's swear it. I will never imitate Kamui Kreutz in disgrace."

"Then I believe"

"Yes. So..."

To Tristan, who has told Kamui to swear, Hildegand reluctantly urged him to say the following: Because I thought men needed to keep their promises.

"I'll stay here. From the beginning, I intend to. But if anyone leaves, I will never let them get in the way of it. Assuming you do that, I will definitely tell Kamui Kreutz that."

"Yes. Thank you. What about the others?

In Tristan's reply, Hildegand gave a relieved look. Even if we allow ourselves to leave, it is still better to have a larger number in the fight. Besides, in the present situation, which has been cornered so far, there was little chance that it would remain.

"If you're leaving, now's the time. I won't tolerate a betrayal later."

"That's me too. Aren't you there? I want to proceed with the military debate, so please make an offer soon."

"It's a pain in the ass. I'm not here. The kingdom and those who go through it are all the way over there. All that remains here are those who will not allow the invasion of the kingdom"

"... what about you? Were you at the academy, too?

"I'm Raoul Preciard. I need you to know me."

"Lord Raoul Preciard, isn't he? Ok. Then I will cut you off with this. I consider this a betrayal, so the promise is void."

"Naturally."

"Well, it's a military debate. First, Lord Tristan Lambert. Tell me about the fort. Including weaknesses."

"On this occasion?

"I got a promise I wouldn't betray you. I think so."

"… then, I will explain. This fort is the largest in our territory. It's a good place to protect."

"That's on the imperial side, not the kingdom side."

Which protection does it attach importance to? The Lambert family's feelings are obvious.

"Don't tell me about it now. Fortunately, this was here now."

"Right."

"Defense is a hard place. As you can see, the north and south of the fort are blocked by mountains. It is a steep mountain, so it is difficult for the great army to escape. It takes a big detour to get around to the imperial side, or even if it does."

"Is defense hard to dismiss?

The fort is harder to defend against attacks from the Imperial side. It was further indicated that this was the purpose, but Hildegand is not going to say anything about it. I know that's what border territory is.

"... you're right. If we hold the Imperial side down the most, supplies will be tighter, so it's a problem in that regard."

"But if you do that, the Imperial Knights will poke behind you. This is a desirable situation for us to reject."

"Yes, it's a water hand problem that is common in forts, but about that, too, this fort is fine. Below the fort is a water vein. We're digging a well in the fort and sucking it up, so we don't have to worry about getting cut off from the water."

"Poison?

"Groundwater veins have a stream of water. Even if they poison you, it just flows downstream. In the first place, it's not easy to dig in mountains that are much higher than here, even if they seem to flow upstream"

"Yes, that's reassuring."

Honestly, Hildegand doesn't think Tristan is telling the whole truth. To fool the enemy, start with your allies. Otherwise, he's probably not going to tell Hildegand the truth, which could make him an enemy in the future.

But I decided to honestly admire the fact that I didn't really need to know the truth about the matter.

"The problem is the accumulation of supplies. How long are you going to stay here?

"It will be quite some time"

"Don't you know a clear period of time?

"Yes. When asked how long, the Oriental Army will break the armies of the kingdom until they appear here."

"... I see, is that what you mean"

"I saw that if it wasn't for King Ruthua's direct graduate army, even the Oriental Uncle's army, we could win. The opponents are gathering noble troops, so they don't seem to get caught up in it."

"I mean, does Her Royal Highness Lady Hildegand mean bait?

"That's right. If there is a royal family, and if we know the existence of the Knights of the Empire, we will see this one as the main force. Win on the service side while attracting the dominant power of the kingdom. If you block the back with that winning army, the war situation leans here at once."

"The target is fifty thousand. Can you protect it?

"We're going to discuss that strategy."

"What about the Reich Knights reinforcements?

"Ultimately, it's 20,000. The time is in a month."

"Slow"

"On purpose. In some cases, we delay it more."

"What?"

"I'm sorry to burden you all, but if this is as much as 30,000 troops, the kingdom side could change its offensive location as well. It's troublesome when you do that. Until the Oriental Army wins, we want to keep the kingdom here."

"Are you sure you can win that one?

"The main force of the Knights of the Empire should go packing after you. With the addition of 20,000 to 30,000 Imperial Knights, you'll definitely win."

"Indeed."

"I've said a lot, but the most important thing is not to scatter the Royal Army all over imperial territory. The only place to prevent it is geographically here. We have to keep this place alive at all costs."

"One more thing"

"What is it?

"What about the rear stuffing of the kingdom? How many, now where?

"... I haven't grabbed that information yet"

"What is the Empire doing!?

"Imperial intermediate organizations are not doing enough work in the East right now."

"What's the reason?

"The kingdom and…, probably by the demons"

"That idiot......, he makes me feel better"

Hildegand naturally knows that the fool is talking about Kamui. Tristan felt relieved to call Kamui an idiot.

"We're sending those who were sticking around in another area all the way east. Still, it will take time for our intelligence-gathering capabilities to recover."

"What do you do? We can't prevent it if we don't know where it's coming from."

"I'll do something to attract the backpack here, too"

"How?

"I don't know if I'll succeed, but I'll be the bait"

"In other words?"

"Whatever it takes, it works to remind the kingdom that you have to take me here. And it makes me think we can pick it up here."

This is the same hand Kamui used for the Empire. If there is a difference, Hildegand is not yet an important place in the Kingdom. First, we have to start there.

"No way......, are you going to be on the front line?

"Yes."

"Stupid!? If they take it away, this one will lose morale once and for all."

"Manage to prevent that in case I had one. Whether it's the Imperial Army or the Oriental Belgian Army, that can be difficult. But if you're a borderline army, you won't lose your morale with one royal family dead, will you?

"What do you think?

"I didn't mean to create this situation. And this is what happened."

"... back to the story. What about supplies?

"We're in a hurry. I delayed the rendezvous of the Imperial Knights, also in preparation for it. Once the supplies have been collected, the Knights will also be used for transport next. There must be no interruption in supplies."

"Finally, we have one reassuring ingredient. Now, what about the battle at heart? It's not easy to prevent 50,000."

"Who knows the battle of Kamui Kreutz?

"... about what?

"It's about magic fusion. I'll put together an army that can use that. Because it would be more powerful."

"I see, he said it's on"

"The battle not only of the Viscount Kreutz, but also of the Border Regiment, has been studied."

"Then you can't help but hide it. As far as I can tell..., it's all military."

"... that's right. I can't believe the border area was still so wrapped up."

"Not yet, is not right"

"Yes. Good. It was you who spread it."

And Raoul.

"Hey......"

"You two. Then I'll ask the two of you to direct. Marie, two assistants, please."

"Do you need it?

"I think it's necessary to work with us."

"I see. Okay, I get it."

"I'd also like to put together a bowman army to operate?

"Can you leave that to Non? My Nauman family is confident in the operation of archers."

"Okay. Your lord, isn't he?

"Yes. Non is"

"Jigrit Naumann Borderline Uncle. I remember all the names of the Eastern Border Lords."

"... Was it"

His name was known to the royal family. Even if I thought about the glitch, I still couldn't stop the joy from gushing in this battle.

"Then Naumann Borderline Uncle. Best regards,"

"Ha."

"What about the infantry unit?

"I'll take care of that. I was wondering if I could get a little better command."

"What's your name?

"Don't you remember?

"At least tell me your last name or your crest"

That means Hildegand remembers the border lord's crest as well.

"… it is HealthStream"

"Laurent Hellstrame. Borderline."

"Ha."

"Then please. For horseback riding, I'll leave it to you. However, if you are a knight who is not sure to follow the former Viscount Kreutz Army, please turn it over to the infantry"

"… will select"

"This one too," "My army too," "Isn't that impossible?" "So are we."

"Then hurry and get ready. It shouldn't be long until the Royal Army shows up."

"" "" Ha!!

"Is that what I said?

Raoul spoke to Tristan as those who were in a hurry and were on the ground for the military conference scattered into preparation. There is a meaningful grin on that face.

"Well, it's the head of our generation."

But the serious Tristan doesn't react to it without breaking the grim look.

"Also, you know what I mean"

"... who was credited with being the only woman who deserved to stand next door. Is that what you want me to say?

"I knew you remembered"

"I just remembered. But I'm sorry, but I'm not gonna admit it until I actually see it."

"You must be."

"You're not?

"No, it's the same. Same, but she seems confident to lead the Viscount Kreutz army. I'm not sure I can lead that unit. I'm not sure I can help you."

"That's why I'm saying. I don't know if I can actually lead.

"What if I could do that?

"You'll win. Even a five-fold enemy can win this battle. But can you? The way I know how to fight Kamui is like crossing a dead line. It is the weakness of the enemy where the protection appears thick. Identify it that way and tear it apart there. It's not something you can do, even if you know it."

"Whatever you say, you're the Demon King. It's not something a normal person can imitate. Is that what she can do?"

Raoul's face sounds more and more fun to say that. Tristan, on the other hand, has a bitter face the opposite.

You two have the opposite personality.

"You look happy, huh?

"If you haven't seen a fight like that in a long time, you'd be happy, wouldn't you?

"Totally, it feels like you're in love, 'cause you like fighting a lot more than I do."

"I can't forget. The pleasure of diving through the dead line that day."

"... sort of. But where and what is Teng doing that made him go through it"

"You should be in Northende by now"

"What!? You're back?

"Oh."

"I didn't know. But you know better than that."

"I was letting him dive into the Northende with dignity. that information."

"Hey, do that."

"If you let him sneak in, he'll erase it. But if you declare it's an intermediate, you can give me any information that's not a problem. The promise of information is still going on. You didn't know that?

"You know what!

After this, the Empire will regain the symbol of the martial arts it should have lost.
