A park in the royal capital where a military parade is in progress ahead of the war with the empire.
In addition to the soldiers attending the military parade, the park was crowded with people who had come to watch the military parade.
That’s because all of the soldiers gathered here were children, parents, and friends to someone.
Meanwhile, a red thunderbolt suddenly fell from the sky, and a black-haired man walked out of it.
Among the citizens residing in Endymion’s royal capital, there was no one who did not know his identity.
There was a subtle silence for a moment, and murmurs came out among the crowd of people.
“That hair… … .”
“Russell… … “From Archduke Russell Raymond!”
“His Majesty the Archduke has returned!”
It was dropped suddenly out of a rush, but it was a sight that made me feel like I had unintentionally become the star of a military parade.
Of all the dogs, it was Daria and Hemingway who were looking at Russell with the most astonished expressions.
I don’t know about others, but those who had become 8th Circle Masters were able to capture the huge, hidden flow of magical power that resided in Russell’s body.
‘her… … , only one month. Are you saying that he has reached the level of the 8th circle by just disappearing?’
Hemingway stuck out his tongue as if he couldn’t believe it.
Daria muttered without realizing it.
“Crazy guy… … .”
Even though he was his youngest student, the situation could only be expressed that way.
Russell lowered his head with an embarrassed expression as all eyes were focused on him.
He said in a low voice.
“I apologize for causing concern to Your Majesty and all of you due to my insensitivity.”
At Russell’s words, the king, who had looked embarrassed even then, finally smiled.
He looked down at Russell from the top of the podium and said.
“You mean this? It would be fortunate enough that the Archduke returned safely at a time like this. Then, continuing with the Commander of the 5th Army… … .”
Then, just as the military parade was about to continue, Daria kissed her lips.
As a ray of message magic flows into the king’s ears, his eyes widen as if it were a flagship.
I was so surprised that I couldn’t hide the trembling of my fingertips.
When we looked at each other as if asking if it was true, Daria and Hemingway nodded at the same time.
‘her… … .’
The King, who gathered his surprised emotions with a small exclamation, continued speaking.
“Finally, I appoint Duke Russell Raymond, the Grand Duke of the Kingdom, as commander of the 5th Army.”
Commander of the 5th Army.
To put it mildly, it is a position that commands and commands nearly 100,000 troops. Feeling the great weight resting on his shoulders, Russell bowed his head again and answered.
“yes. your majesty. Prince of the Kingdom, Russell Raymond. “I accept His Majesty’s orders!”
A loud answer rang out, and as Russell raised his head, he could see the king’s lips trembling.
‘─?’
Although no sound was made, it was not difficult to understand the meaning through the movement of the lips.
-I won’t announce it separately as the timing is timing, but congratulations on reaching a new level.
The youngest 8th Circle wizard on the continent.
It was clear that if it became known to the public, not only Russell but also Endymion’s national status would be raised.
If it had been peacetime, the royal palace would have come forward and announced it on a large scale.
However, it was now a wartime situation on the verge of an all-out war with the empire.
In the current situation, it would be more beneficial not to announce it than to announce it.
King Alfonso Ratmos thought so.
Russell also agreed with that thought.
‘A card that may be able to outwit the enemies.’
Until he revealed himself, it was clear that the enemies would think Russell’s skills were at the level of a 7th Circle master.
After the brief commotion, the military parade continued according to the scheduled procedures.
In charge of supplying supplies were the white tower wizards, led by Amelia Merwin, who could move quickly using wind magic.
“Hemingway Melville, Lord of the Window Tower. As the general manager of the capital defense force, I will faithfully carry out the duties given to me by Your Majesty.”
As soon as we finished saying our last greetings to Hemingway and Melville, a gust of wind blew as if we had been waiting for it.
Hwaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
A somewhat artificial wind that only fluttered the national flag of Endymion hanging at the back of the podium.
However, those who have been inspired by the military parade that has been going on so far will not see this clearly.
Dung, dung, dung, dung-.
With the sound of drums echoing and the national flag fluttering in the background, the King stamped his feet.
“All troops—!”
thud-
“—Go forth!”
With the king’s words, the military spirit was loud.
Wow!
.
.
Soldiers armed with swords and armor walked along the main road of the royal capital.
Tens of thousands of soldiers entered the royal capital for the military parade.

Cut, cut, cut.
Every time, the armor meets the armor and the metal sound resounds with a solemn sound.
At their head were five men appointed as commanders, riding horses.
A war against an old enemy, the Empire.
The eyes of citizens waiting for news of victory turn to the soldiers and commanders.
Daria, commander of the 1st Army and commander-in-chief of the entire army, opened his mouth as he caught a glimpse of Russell at the forefront.
“I’m sure everyone else knows, but you, the youngest, probably don’t know, so I’ll tell you now.”
“… … ?”
“It may be said that we have ascended to the position of commander due to our military power, but our real role is not that of a simple commander.”
The honor of being called a commander was only used due to his rank.
The story that came out of Daria’s mouth was that the staff below were actually in charge of what the commander had to do, and were given autonomous operational authority and the right to act alone in most actions.
“Do you understand what I mean? Hey.”
As I have explained several times, superhumans were beings who could turn a battlefield upside down with their own power.
Not only can it be possible to fight against superhumans like oneself by keeping them in check, but depending on the situation, it may also be possible to go to a place where superhumans do not exist and turn the battlefield around by yourself, rather than checking the enemy’s superhumans.
Superhumans were the ones who could greatly influence the outcome of the war depending on what situation and how they acted.
The right to autonomous operation and the right to act alone were no different from saying that judgment about the situation was left to individual superhumans.
“yes. “Master.”
Russell nodded.
“I fully understand what you said: act with the corps, but look broadly and act without being buried in a single battlefield or situation.”
Daria chuckled at Russell’s answer.
“The momentum is still good.”
Then, as if he was aware of the others, he looked around for a moment and asked using message magic.
[Crazy guy… … .]
[yes?]
Just as Russell was about to flinch at the unexpected curse, a giggling sound magically flew into his ears.
[They don’t seem to know, but you can’t deceive my eyes.]
By the low level Daria was talking about, she was referring to other commanders who did not recognize Russell’s rapid growth.
Because he possessed the pure magical power of a dragon, it had long been difficult to recognize Russell’s level unless he was someone as talented as Daria or Hemingway.
[What on earth happened in the spirit world?]
[actually… … .]
Russell opened his mouth in response to Daria’s question.
There was still some time before passing through the royal gates.
Russell, who decided that he could sufficiently finish the story, explained what had happened so far.
[Huh, foreign news. The god of the outside world… … Even in old torture, there were actually things that were dismissed as legends.]
An interest in the unknown that any magician can’t help but have.
[I recorded the appearance of the bastard and the spirit world using magic, so I will show you later.]
Daria giggled at the youngest student’s actions to satisfy the teacher’s interest.
[Good job. good job. Thanks to this, there is a mountain of work to do even after the war is over.]
It was clear that research on the spirit world and the foreign world would not be enough even if we devoted several decades to it.
Although we ended the conversation with a smile, Daria, who was leading the horse, did not look very happy.
‘It’s another coincidence… … .’
It was strange that it was difficult for others to get it even once in their lifetime.
‘But there’s a strange atmosphere going on around that guy.’
Of course, it is thanks to Russell’s efforts so far that he has been able to digest and fully accept that opportunity.
Looking at what has happened so far, it is not surprising that a proverb from the East comes to mind.
Cheonmanghoehoe Soi Bulsil (天網恢恢 疎而不失).
They say that the net of the sky may seem thin, but nothing is missed.
As a wizard who values reason and theory, I wasn’t the type to blindly believe in things like heaven and fatalism, but whatever.
I couldn’t easily let go of the ray of anxiety rising in my heart.
‘please… … .’
If there is such a thing as heaven.
‘If the moment comes when that child has to shoulder his own karma-.’
I hope that as a teacher, I can also ease the burden by being next to him.
Daria had a small wish.
.
.
After leaving the royal capital, each army headed in its own direction.
The same goes for the 5th Army led by Russell. It took a few hours for the 5th Army to move in the direction it should go.
“All troops halt. “I’m going to rest here today.”
Russell, who saw that the sun was setting in the distance, opened his mouth.
It was important to arrive at the battlefield as quickly as possible, but it was also important to maintain physical strength and condition in order to go into battle.
In this way, preparations for the camp were made.
The sight of more than 80,000, or to exaggerate, close to 100,000 soldiers preparing for camp would be a spectacle in its own way.
While the barracks to be used as lodgings were being built and meals were being prepared, someone visited Russell’s lodgings.
“hey. c*ck.”
It was Muyaho, the beast king who led the beastmen and joined this war.
Jalang-.
Every time she walked, the anklets on her ankles rang with bells.
What is felt in the sound of the bell is a dull yet massive magical power.
‘That… … .’
Russell recognized the identity of the bell without difficulty due to the familiar magical power.
‘It’s the same spiral spear that was beaten in the Kuril Islands the day before.’
An item that the dwarves made for the Beast King, and should be more accurately called a Raseon Spear (螺旋巨槍).
Russell asked, looking away from the bell.
“Muyaho. What’s going on in my barracks… … ?”
In response to Russell’s question, Muyaho hesitates and gently scratches the instep of one foot with the tip of the other foot.
“what. It’s been a while since I’ve seen each other again, and I have some errands to run… … .”
Errand? – Just as Russell was about to tilt his head, Muyaho growled.
He suddenly became furious and said.
“No, thinking about it makes me angry. Were we the kind of people who only saw each other when something special happened? yes?”
Russell laughed bitterly at her still flirtatious appearance.
Muyaho also came inside, smiling like he always did, saying ‘Kyahaha’ as if the joke had ended there.
“More male, are you okay?”
“What do you mean?”
“That female… … .”
Muyaho, who had said that far, made a groaning sound.
“princess… … “I’m asking if I don’t have to go after seeing my eldest sister’s face.”
We made eye contact at the military parade, but we didn’t even talk much.
I would be lying if I said I wasn’t nervous.
Nevertheless, given the circumstances, Russell had no choice but to respond like this.
“maybe… … “Your Royal Highness will understand.”
“You understand. to do… … !”
Muyaho stopped shouting. It’s not my business, so why am I angry?
“Like a bad male… … .”
Perhaps it is because, as a fellow ‘female’, I am angry at this indifferent ‘male’.
“Sniff. That’s why I came. c*ck.”
Muyaho stuck out his mouth and thrust his hand into his chest.
“?!”
This is what she brought out while casually ignoring Russell’s puzzled gaze. It was a letter with the princess’s seal clearly stamped on it.
“joy. “This is the end of errands that only do good things for others.”
