Chapter 32. Standing on a plain where ice and fire come together. (6)
“Waaaaaa!”
“I won! “I won!”
The soldiers roared until the walls fell away. They pounded the floor loudly with their weapons, hugged each other, and laughed and laughed.
“The enemies have completely retreated!”
“Retreat is certain!”
ping! Peeing!
The archers, who had been shooting their bows without hesitation until the very end, finally stopped.
“Ugh… … .”
“Oh my, I lived.”
Everyone sat down on the floor with a sigh of relief. Or, there were people who sat down as if they were relaxed.
“You’re retreating without even looking back.”
Leia stood upright and stared at the traitor army moving away.
She was busier than anyone else, moving around and shooting all over the battlefield.
But her legs were strong, and the hand holding Aria did not waver.
“Lea Concellare… … .”
“Indeed, the commander-in-chief chosen by His Majesty the Emperor… … .”
The knight commanders and lords under her command were speechless when they saw her.
Although they moved according to Emperor Abel’s orders, there was a small piece of anxiety deep in their hearts.
No matter how much she was Arya’s master, Leah was still a twenty-year-old virgin.
Can she lead such a large-scale war well? Will she be able to use the strategy we discussed together without panicking in unexpected situations?
It didn’t take long for the anxiety to fade.
‘I thought about what it would take to deal with the owner of the cadenza.’
Before the full-scale battle began, Leah spoke with her feet on the stairs going up the castle wall.
‘I’m doing well. Just like it’s always been.’
Leia’s emerald eyes shone coldly.
‘-Making the illusion that it is. And to lead him in the direction we want.’
‘… … .’
‘So, let’s start by provoking the opponent.’
At that time, people were very quiet.
It was because I had no idea what exactly Leah’s strategy was talking about and whether it would be effective.
but.
‘Can you hit it from this distance?’
Leah immediately answered Archer Captain Aaron’s question.
Those who take on important positions for the first time are unsure of their choices. Ask those around you for advice, bounce the question back, or choose not to choose.
‘But it might be worth a try. ‘Try it.’
However, Leah made her decisions calmly, and most of her choices turned out to be good results.
‘Are you running away, Leah?’
Even with Cain’s provocation, he was not easily taken in.
Faithfully to his position as general commander, he always observed the battlefield and looked after his allies.
All of Leah’s actions were focused on one goal: victory.
As a result.
The allied forces in the capital succeeded in entering the city without significant damage despite the enormous offensive of 3,000 rebel aircraft.
“under… … This, indeed. “I can’t believe it.”
“You can’t believe we can stop that many armies with this number.”
“I thought it would be impossible… … .”
The experience of protecting the northern mountains with the Nord Knights and watching Mikel’s command from the front line was not easy.
People clearly realized why Abel Kindreal appointed Leah as commander-in-chief.
If it weren’t for her, they would have been cold corpses rolling around on the ground by now.
“Phew.”
Ekarot stepped down onto the castle wall, fluttering the hem of his robe. There wasn’t a single drop of blood on his white robe.
“New magic tower lord… … .”
“Ekarot Noblesse… … .”
The perspectives of the people around him had clearly changed.
Wizards were no longer unpredictable, uncontrollable, unknown beings.
It was a sturdy shield that protected allies, and a spear that mercilessly pierced enemies.
“… … Hehehe.”
Ekarot stood silently, receiving the gazes of those people. Abel’s voice passed by my ears.
‘The recovery period can be shortened further.’
He said confidently.
“As expected of you, Abel.”
Ekarot hummed and waved his fingers.
Grinning!
The shape of a silver bird appeared and wrapped around his finger. I wanted to deliver news from the capital to Abel as soon as possible.
“hmm… … .”
Before delivering the message, Ekarot paused and thought for a moment.
Grumble!
Cadenza’s flame that instantly split my mana shield.

Even Leah’s Aria went through the process of freezing her mana shield once and then breaking it into particles.
“Is it because of that too?”
The unusual strength of the cadenza. Ekarot thought that eliminating the cause would be an important task.
“hmm.”
After watching all the rebel forces retreat until the end,
Trudging.
Leah turned and looked inside the walls.
“Thank you all for your hard work.”
There was a faint warmth above the blunt voice.
“I’d like to let you relax with some wine and meat, but unfortunately, there’s still a lot of work to do.”
People focused on Leah’s words with faint smiles.
“Prince Derek.”
“yes.”
Derek quickly lowered his head so that his brown hair was shaking. His eyes were shining differently than before.
“Check for survivors around the castle walls, and capture the enemy.”
“Yes, Commander.”
The response was also quick. Leia shifted his gaze to the other person next to him.
“Recover the bodies of our soldiers and gather them inside the walls. “It’s the middle of winter, so the rate of decay may be slow, but that doesn’t mean we can’t leave them out on the cold ground.”
“Yes, I understand.”
Leah’s instructions continued.
“Secure blacksmiths and plasterers to repair the walls. “The sooner the better.”
“When do you think the enemies will attack again?”
“It could be tomorrow.”
Everyone’s faces darkened at Leah’s confident and immediate answer.
“It’s the basics of siege warfare. Blocking supply and forcing the inside to dry out and die. Especially since it is the middle of winter now.”
“… … .”
“The enemy will use various means to sharpen our nerves and erode our spirit.”
People could barely swallow their sighs.
“They must have completely surrounded the territory around here… … .”
“Compared to the enemy, we have many mouths to feed.”
“The longer it takes, the more disadvantageous it will be.”
In fact, Leah already had a plan for dealing with the future situation in her head. To be exact, this is what Abel hinted at.
“There’s no need for everyone to look so gloomy.”
Leah brought out one of the coping strategies, ‘hope’.
“Because we have a black knight.”
The hope of the empire and the messenger of God. He is the one who anticipated and arranged everything.
“No one knows why he left here.”
People’s complexions finally became a little brighter.
“… … you’re right.”
“Yes, I did.”
Leah raised her head and looked at the distant sky. The sun, which had risen in her exact center, was slowly coming down on her.
“Abel… … .”
She muttered softly and then looked back at the people.
“-one week.”
Leah spoke in a heavy voice to everyone.
“The first day will be a critical moment and a turning point.”
Leia’s emerald eyes were shining with confidence.
❖ ❖ ❖
Sigh!
The black blade gently penetrated the man’s chest.
“Big, hehe… … .”
The man’s moans did not last long. He soon dropped his head and died.
“Purring!”
Black Star roared happily.
“from now on.”
As I let the guy take a step forward, Requiem automatically came out of the man’s body.
thud-
The upper body of the man who fell to the floor was already dark and twisted.
The bodies of those who died with facial features similar to those of men were scattered here and there in the fields.
“Uh, uhh.”
“Run away!”
The last two surviving men began to run away.
They felt it too.
The thick smell of death here, the cold life soaking under my feet.
“Ugh! “Save people!”
“Why did the Black Knight do this!”
There was nothing to see in their eyes, already consumed by fear.
Let’s go!
The sound of rushing through the bushes, breathing irregularly coming out of the nose and mouth.
Although the physical distance was gradually increasing, my five senses were clearly detecting their presence.
“let’s go.”
Black Star started chasing after them.
“Purr!”
Beautiful golden eyes sparkled fiercely. I had to know his fighting spirit and ferocity.
“I wonder who I resemble like this?”
I smiled and ran leisurely. It was so easy to chase those guys who were running away on horseback.
“Gasp, gasp!”
“Huh, huh!”
I had Black Star approach next to the guys who were running out of breath.
Tap, tap, tap.
I asked, running next to him.
“Is it difficult?”
“… … .”
Their faces were distorted by their tone of mockery.
“Why are you doing this to us!”
“Are you asking because you really don’t know?”
“We just-”
He couldn’t speak until the end.
Phew!
Because Black Star turned around and kicked the guy.
“Kwaeeek!”
I bet that guy’s ribs were crushed. I turned around, leaving the guy cackling on the floor.
“Aaaah!”
The other guy was running away without even looking back.
Doo doo doo!
I increased my speed towards him. I passed by with the Requiem hanging to the side.
Suddenly!
Its body is split diagonally,
Clap! puck!
Two pieces of bisected bodies spilled out onto the floor. It felt as smooth as cutting through pudding. Of course, not a single drop of blood spattered.
“hmm.”
I went back the way I came and found the fallen guy.
“Cough, cough.”
The thing was crawling on the floor, writhing in pain.
Sigh!
I stabbed the guy in the back and ended the pain.
“Ugh… … .”
The guy died with his limbs stretched out.
“Oh, I’m too merciful.”
If it were like before, I would have played with it a little longer and then killed it.
Because time was running out, I couldn’t take my time. All you have to do is just kill and chop up whatever you can.
“They must be competing against each other right now.”
The silver bird of Ekarot that flew in not long ago.
It conveyed the situation of the first siege, Leah’s activities, and Ekaroth’s concerns.
“Leah did better than expected.”
As expected, he was my vice-captain.
In the original work, she also distinguished herself by commanding Cain’s army. It’s interesting though that she’s using that talent to counter Cain.
“Same goes for Ekarot.”
For some reason, it seemed like the two would get along well, and it turned out as expected. There was no way Cain and Sienna could defeat them.
In the first place, the levels were too different.
“I can’t lose either.”
There is not much time left now. It was about time that the results of what I had done after leaving Maggiore were revealed.
Bruises, bruises.
I drove the Black Star and returned to my original place.
“your majesty.”
The soldiers standing in front of the warehouse building bowed their heads.
“Those two bodies over there, go and take care of it.”
As I pointed to the path I had taken with my chin, a look of shame appeared on the soldiers’ faces.
“I’m sorry.”
“We should have gone… … .”
“There is no need for that.”
He rode the Black Star and stopped tall in front of them.
“I didn’t come here to stand back and stand back.”
The soldiers remained silent. A strong sense of loyalty spread across my cheeks like water.
This time, 20% of the soldiers I brought out from the capital troops.
They had a strong affinity for both the name Abel Kindreal and his identity as the Black Knight.
So, Toda immediately obeyed my command without any hesitation. He also tried very hard to please me.
It was definitely different from the Ovest Knights. If it were the Hayden guys, they probably would have said this.
‘As expected, you are a master!’
‘I thought you could do it on your own!’
‘It’ll just be inconvenient if we go!’
The 20% I brought out included those guys and the Obest Knights under my direct control.
Hayden, Roland, and Klaus took charge of their respective units and dispersed. And he was doing something similar but different from me.
Rattling! Shake!
Soldiers worked hard to pull out sacks of grain from the warehouse. Then they started moving it on a cart.
“It fills the ceiling… … .”
“This is all wheat from the eastern granary.”
The soldiers moved diligently, shaking their heads. In this way, we were steadily robbing the rebel army’s supply warehouse.
“How does your Majesty know the locations of the enemy’s supply depots?”
“It’s all top secret information.”
“I don’t know, I’m scared… … . “It seems like there’s nothing you don’t know.”
I grinned while listening to their whispers.
It was the result of adding clues from the original work and Elice’s information. Now I can even find out what Diego ate for breakfast.
“It’s all loaded.”
“Good work. “Let me transport you.”
The bodies of those guarding the warehouse were hidden from view. This will hinder the investigation.
“You will be happy in the capital.”
“A lot of it will be brought in from other units as well.”
Hmm, well.
The order I gave Hayden was not just to rob the wheat.
‘yes? Spray this on the bag?’
Hayden’s embarrassed face came to mind. And he was even more embarrassed when he was told to leave the bag alone.
“I’m looking forward to it.”
I stopped laughing out loud. I was so looking forward to what would happen next.
“Come on, let’s go back.”
It was time to return to the capital.
