“I thought she was an unusual woman ever since she competed at darts, but I never imagined that she was the Cardinal’s adopted daughter.”

“Is that so.”

“Where did you learn how to play darts?”

“It seemed like I was just throwing things at a piece of wood to kill time.”

“The reason is also unique.”

“By the way, the noble faction doesn’t send anyone?”

“I’m waiting too, but there’s no news.”

“It’s even more strange that the aristocratic faction stays still…”

“I told you to send someone to find out first, so you can just wait. Let’s all sit down and have a cup of tea.”

“Viscount Ajaccio.”

While we were drinking tea and talking, a soldier came into the barracks holding a piece of paper.

“Okay, what’s going on?”

“This is a letter from His Royal Highness the Duke of Orléans.”

At Viscount Ajaccio’s gesture, the soldier handed him a letter.

“Huh… true.”

Viscount Ajaccio opened the letter and checked its contents, smiling broadly.

“What’s going on?”

“They said the noble faction would go separately.”

“Are you saying that the Duke of Orléans acts on his own?”

“During the meeting, he said that he would form a volunteer army and go alone, but I never thought he would actually do that.”

“I’m embarrassed.”

“I also agree.”

We scratched our heads and looked at the letter from the Duke of Orléans.

“Then shouldn’t we start too?”

“I’m not ready yet, so I think we might leave the day after tomorrow.”

“Weren’t you leaving today?”

“Preparations were disrupted because the Duke of Orléans swept away all food and supplies.”

“Ha…”

It was the Duke of Orléans who irritated people in one way or another.

“There is still enough time until you join the Allant Army, so don’t worry.”

“I really don’t like the behavior of the nobles from the beginning.”

“What should I do? I can’t go and argue with you.”

We sighed deeply.

“If we encounter an army of noblemen later, shouldn’t we just loot it?”

“…”

As Lotos spoke, Viscount Ajaccio and I looked at him.

“What kind of crazy talk is that?”

“No, they took the supplies that were supposed to come to us, right?”

“That’s right.”

“Then we can just think of bringing our own.”

“There is no shortage of supplies yet, so why not just go there and ask politely.”

“Will they give it to you willingly?”

Viscount Ajaccio rubbed his chin.

“You will know that only when you go there. If it doesn’t work out, just do as you say.”

“If the aristocrats guide me, I will just beat them up and take their money.”

After marching for nearly a month, we were able to join the Aland army in the territory of Österburg.

Before we knew it, the sweltering August heat caused setbacks in our march, but we somehow managed to arrive on time.

“It’s so hot…”

I unbuttoned my top and fanned myself.

It was unsightly to see my cleavage sticking out, but what could I do when it was hot?

It was still dry, so it would have been less hot if there was some shade, but I couldn’t think about that while marching.

I felt the soldiers glance at my breasts because of my clothes, but I continued to fan my breasts without caring whether they saw my breasts or not.

The Holy Allied Army, formed by the border states of Aland and Österburg, gathered on a wide plain and had as many as 74,000 troops.

“You saved a huge amount.”

“Even if we collect it like that, it is only about half the size of Turkiye County…”

Viscount Ajaccio clicked his tongue weakly.

“Anyway, I don’t think the way they look at us is very kind.”

When I looked at the Sinseon Allied Forces soldiers, I saw some clicking their tongues or spitting on the floor.

“We gathered for the same purpose, but where will the impact of the 30-year war go? Just ignore it and move on.”

“Okay.”

When we arrived at the place where our troops would gather, someone rode a horse and approached us.

“The king of Allant.”

At his words, I quickly buttoned my top.

“Stay back.”

I nodded and spoke back.

[Nice to meet you.]

The King of Allant approached and raised his hand.

[Meet the King of Allant.]

Viscount Ajaccio and King Aland exchanged greetings.

King Allant craned his head to the side and looked at me behind him.

[Is the woman behind you your daughter?]

[no. I am a participant in the war this time.]

[Women participate in war? No matter how much they claim to be a volunteer army, isn’t that a bit too much?]

King Allant looked at me intently.

I don’t know what was exchanged between him and Viscount Ajaccio, but I could tell that he was looking down on me.

[Usually, women on the battlefield have a figure that can overpower men, but that woman’s body is so delicate that I don’t know if she can take care of herself.]

[It’s not an average bet, so you don’t have to worry.]

[Since you said that, I guess I’ll just skip it… but figure it out.]

When the conversation between the two was over, I rode my horse and approached Viscount Ajaccio.

“What did King Aland say?”

“You seem to be very untrustworthy. But there is no need to be discouraged.”

“I don’t really care.”

Viscount Ajaccio nodded at my words.

“Now that we have joined the Aland Army, we will reorganize our battle lines and head to Vienna.”

“Ugh, are we really fighting now?”

Lotos, who was behind him, rubbed his hands and laughed.

“Lotos, calm down.”

“Aramis, wipe the smile off your face and speak.”

“Hmm!”

Vienna, the capital of Österburg

“Wow… I’m so fucking serious.”

A woman climbed on top of the castle tower and looked at the Turkic forces besieging Vienna.

“Claudia, it’s dangerous, so come down! Didn’t the soldier in the watchtower die from an arrow fired by the Turkiye army last time?”

“Brother Hele, just watch a little longer.”

She used a telescope to look at the Turkiye army camp, where the Moon Star flag was waving.

The Turkic Army had been surrounding Vienna for almost a month, as if they were trying to completely destroy it.

“Damn…”

Claudia gritted her teeth and put down the telescope.

“Ha… Fernand.”

She sighed, muttering a man’s name.

An Elance man I met on the battlefield.

I thought of the man who spoke to me as a prisoner, mumbling in Österbourgish, which I couldn’t understand.

“I’m in such a difficult situation too… As the time to die approaches, I start thinking about men.”

Quang!

Then, suddenly, a shell came flying from the Turkiye army camp.

thud! Patter!

Stone fragments fell from the shell-hit walls.

“Fuck, if this continues, there won’t be any castle walls left!”

Herl got angry and hit the woman’s head with his fist.

“Brother, how long do you think the castle wall can hold?”

“I don’t know, I think it will collapse within 15 days.”

Herl scratched his head.

“The castle walls are in danger because those damn bastards don’t attack and only fire from afar. There is no guarantee when it will collapse, but it is certain that it will collapse.”

“Reinforcements should come quickly…”

Claudia muttered softly and glared at the Turkiye army that stretched all the way to the horizon.

Growling…

Suddenly her stomach growled.

“It’s been so long since I had lunch and I’m already growling…”

Due to the long siege, supplies in Vienna were low and food rations were reduced, which was painful for Claudia, who was in the prime of her eating season.

“Reinforcements need to come really quickly…”

Even though I tried to fill my stomach with water to satisfy my hunger, it was difficult because there was not enough water.

Piyung!

“Yikes!”

Suddenly, an arrow flew past Claudia’s helmet.

Startled, she quickly came down from the watchtower.

Suddenly, a singing voice was heard from the Turkiye army.

“Fuck is that song again?”

Claudia clicked her tongue and loaded the air rifle.

Boom, boom, boom!

The drum sound, which had been heard slowly, began to get faster and faster.

As the Turkic Army’s military band Mehter advanced forward, red-clothed soldiers began to move behind it.

“The enemies are attacking again!”

Deeng deeng!

The bell on the steeple rang, warning that enemies would attack.

“Claudia, are you ready?”

“Oh, I also replaced the air bladder with a new one.”

“Good job.”

Herl patted Claudia’s head and headed to his seat.

The horrifying sound of Zurna (a musical instrument similar to the Taipyeongso) rang out and the Turkic soldiers began to rush towards the walls.

“Shoot!”

Quang!

A cannon installed on the castle wall spewed fire at the Turkiye army.

“Ugh!”

Hehehehe~!

The cavalrymen who were hit by the shells screamed and fell to the ground.

“Ra Allah Allah Allah Allah Raha!”

Nevertheless, they paid no heed and charged like crazy, shouting strange words.

“Really disgusting bastards!”

Claudia rested the butt on her shoulder and aimed at the Türkiye soldier.

Good!

A bullet was fired from an air gun with a crackling sound.

“What?!”

Soldier Türkye fell, clutching his chest.

Ride it! bang! bang!

As they got closer, the musketeers opened fire.

“They hang a ladder on the castle wall!”

As the large ladder was placed on the castle wall, Herl, who was next to it, picked up the oil can.

“Hey!”

Black oil poured down the castle walls.

[Ouch, it’s oil! Run away!]

[Be careful, it’s slippery… Ugh!]

A bloody battle unfolded beneath the castle walls.

“You damn heathen!”

Claudia gritted her teeth and dropped the lit firewood down the castle wall.

Push!

Then the oil caught fire and black smoke billowed out.

“Wow!”

The Turkiye soldiers, their bodies on fire, screamed.
