next day. Like all corps, the 7th Corps’ day begins early in the morning.

This means that those on meal duty have to wake up early in the morning to prepare.

Someone must do it, but that’s why everyone wants to avoid it as much as possible.

Legionnaires were rubbing their sleepy eyes, easing their sore bodies, and trying to receive breakfast.

“Good morning. 7th Legion, everyone.”

“Gasp! Woe, Her Royal Highness?!”

I heard the news. It is said that the 2nd princess personally visited the military camp to offer consolation.

Everyone talked about this and that all night long because of that amazing story.

But I thought that was just for a moment. Everyone expected that we would leave the next day.

This is the noble princess. Those who saw her would say she looked like an angel.

There is no way a person like that can exist in this difficult place anymore. That’s what I was thinking.

Like right now. That is, until I encountered that angel-like woman right in front of me.

“Oh, are you still here today?”

“Yes. Oh, you are the ones who didn’t receive food from me yesterday?”

“Ugh… Eh, yes. We had meal time next, so… .”

“I see. Now, take it. Today, I specifically told them to put in more meat. The second army will arrive soon. Then supplies will come in again, so let’s eat plenty today.”

It’s early morning. In addition, the princess had all kinds of schedules the day before.

Even when it came to serving food, I did it all to the end without even having to shift.

Is it because of the fatigue caused by it? The princess’s face was a little more damaged than yesterday.

However, that very sight caused the soldiers of the legion to be even more shaken.

They themselves are tired, tired, and in pain. That angelic woman is over there, having overcome it.

Even today, they extend their hands to those who are struggling from the shock of defeat.

surprising. I’m thrilled. Now I wonder if this is a dream.

And suddenly, I feel sorry for that noble woman.

“Her Highness the Princess.”

After breakfast, the remaining time before starting unit maintenance.

A sagging soldier cautiously approaches the princess who was with the soldiers.

“Sorry. I’m embarrassed. Such a noble person came here. Because we were defeated, not victorious… .”

“There is a saying like this. On the battlefield, winning or losing is a matter of illness or death. It’s just one of those things that can happen, of course.”

“But… .”

“Winners and losers. Everyone just fought equally bravely. Our empire does not abandon such people just because they were defeated.”

saying. The princess offered him the cup of coffee she was holding.

“, thank you. Your Majesty.”

“Don’t be weak. You are still staying here. There is no talk of it falling to the rear like this. Don’t we all know what this means?”

I know. It is impossible not to know that they form the main axis of the army.

The second army arrives. After receiving additional lost supplies and troops.

They once again become the spear of the empire for that alliance that brought shame on them.

This time there will be no retreat in defeat. It will definitely happen.

“And so.”

A mischievous smile spreads across the princess’s face.

That’s because it wasn’t something promised to anyone from now on.

“Do you know who is with me now?”

“I’m not sure… .”

“Kael Klauwicz. This is Kael Klauwitz from Berthier Empire. Not long ago, our empire came up with a plan to completely control the entire pavilion. He is a genius tactician recognized by Her Majesty the Crown Princess.”

When the story about the pavilion campaign comes up, all the soldiers open their eyes wide.

The work there was so great that the reputation of the 12th Legion reached this place.

In a situation where it was fortunate to just protect it, it appeared to be putting pressure on the coalition.

So I thought the 12th Legion had gritted their teeth this time, but I never thought something like that would happen!

“The person who made that possible came with me. Don’t you all know what this means? Can’t you imagine?”

Each soldier nodded slowly.

The Empire does not turn back the 7th Legion. Rather, they are urging them to stand up again.

For that reason, an excellent tactician was attached to the princess and sent to this place.

To bring confidence back to victory in this place that was once defeated!

*

I was hit. It happened. With the princess at the forefront, I tried to quietly prepare for the event.

After finishing the preparations and trying to prepare for the next schedule, all the rumors about the neighborhood were out.

“The Imperial Army command assigned to our corps a rare and famous leader who reorganized the entire pavilion!”

“We do not retreat to the rear. We can fight the Coalition once again!”

“This time there will be no retreat or defeat. Give back as much as you deserve. Definitely, let’s do it!”

Suddenly, he became a relief pitcher personally sent by the empire.

In this embarrassing situation, I had to go see the princess right away.

“Her Highness the Princess. This is something that was not discussed with me!”

“Let’s suffer together. Then it should be like this.”

“But… .”

“Prince Kael, you were the one who planned this in the first place. Wouldn’t it be too embarrassing if I received praise only for myself?”

Not at all. Rather, it means that the princess was chosen after taking all of that into consideration.

I sighed for a moment, but decided not to argue any further since it had already happened.

There will be rumors about me anyway, and it may happen someday.

“What was your next schedule?”

“This is a reading of a letter written by His Majesty the Emperor and His Highness the Crown Princess personally expressing their condolences to the 7th Legion.”

“This was really given to me by Your Majesty and my sister.”

“I asked Her Majesty the Princess to accompany me, and she gave me permission.”

He probably realized already that I was trying to use the princess appropriately.

It seems like a plan has been made to infuse greater strength into the soldiers of the 7th Corps.

“By the way, Prince Kael.”

“Yes, Your Highness.”

“Do you really have to do it by the river? It’s something that can be done within the military camp.”

“No. It must be done by the riverside.”

When I spoke in a somewhat stern tone, the princess looked at me blankly in surprise.

When I see the eyes rolling here and there, it looks like they are checking to see if something is wrong.

“I can’t explain it to you right now, but this is all for the good of the empire. Her Royal Highness. So, I sincerely ask you to understand even if it is a little questionable and inconvenient.”

“Ah, I understand. I understand, so don’t look at me with such a serious expression.”

“I apologize.”

Maybe I put too much effort into my expression.

The princess has been so good to me so far that I seem to have exaggerated my reaction without realizing it.

It is my mistake. Let’s be a little more careful. The opponent is the princess. Princess!

“It’s almost time, so let’s move. Her Royal Highness.”

“Yes, yes. Prince Kael. Let’s go.”

*

surprised. Really, loudly. surprised.

Isabelle barely managed to hold on to her pounding heart.

He always showed a soft side. It was Kael who only gave off a comfortable atmosphere.

However, it came as a refreshing shock to suddenly see a serious tone and expression.

I was surprised at what I did wrong, but I was even more surprised than that.

‘A person’s mood can change suddenly like that… .’

not bad. Rather, it came as a very positive shock.

Isn’t this a completely different side of him from the one we’ve known so far?

I thought that appearance was very impressive without even realizing it. I thought it was cool.

“Her Highness the Princess. They say they are ready.”

“Ah. I understand.”

After hearing the guards’ words, Isabel took a breath and climbed onto the makeshift platform.

For some reason I couldn’t see Kael, but I couldn’t find him right now.

Because at this moment, he had to convey the emperor and princess’s comfort to them.

“… You fought bravely against the enemies of the Empire. This empire knows that it has been and always will be. Do not doubt. Don’t lose yourself.”

The words the emperor wrote were not very long, but they were equally impressive.

He was ordering the 7th Legion not to wallow in self-pity and blame.

“Stand up. Son of the Empire. With anger instead of despair. When you face once again those wicked enemies who have tarnished your reputation. Pour out all that anger without hesitation.”

Meanwhile. The Crown Princess was saying things on behalf of the Emperor that he had not said.

There is consolation for the 7th Legion itself, but it also specifies how to repay their defeat.

If you fight again, this time make sure they are the ones running away.

At those words, the soldiers let out a silent shout and their fighting spirit burned.

“… The above was the message that His Majesty the Emperor and His Royal Highness the Crown Princess left to you. Soldiers of the 7th Imperial Legion. It is true that you were defeated. Don’t run away from that fact. All you have to do is stand up proudly, turn it into a brighter and more valuable victory, and give it back to our empire.”

I think this is enough. okay. If this is done, the 7th Corps will be able to stand up again.

That’s when Isabelle thought that to herself. Kael, who had disappeared, reappeared.

Where on earth did you go? Let’s ask a little later. The moment Isabel thought.

“Ugh!”

Suddenly, Kael lets out a strange exclamation as if possessed by something.

“Your Majesty! Her Royal Highness! Hey, look over there!”

“Prince Kael?”

“Kang. The river is strange!”

The river is strange? At those words, Isabel reflexively turned her head.

Not only she but the soldiers also looked at the river, each one muttering.

“… Ah?”

And they all saw a scene.

The river, which was extremely ordinary just yesterday, is now emitting five brilliant colors.

As the sun shone on it, a brilliant energy spread out in all directions.

“What is that… .”

“This means that God is most likely supporting our empire. His Majesty the Emperor. Her Majesty the Crown Princess. And Her Royal Highness. The great being was also moved by the heart that sincerely comforted the soldiers of the 7th Corps and expressed his will like this!!”

“… ???”

Such absurd words made Isabel wonder why Kael was acting like that.

However, the situation that soon followed forced her to keep quiet.

“God is with you! God help the empire!”

“Wow!!”

“7th Legion! Stand up! Behind you are His Majesty the Emperor and the Empire! God has promised us victory!!”

“7th Legion! 7th Legion!!”

Look at that spectacle, shaking violently as if it might explode at any moment.

Isabel unknowingly chanted the name of the 7th Legion in front of him.

*

‘oh my. It was hard.’

Throwing a rock full of oil was harder than I thought.

From what I know, they said they threw oil-soaked rice cakes, but there is no rice cakes here.

Things turned out better than expected.

As expected, Goddess Luck smiled at me this time.

If the emperor and the princess had not given a letter to raise up the 7th Legion.

If only the princess had not shaken the hearts of the soldiers in advance by going through all that trouble yesterday and today.

Just floating a little oil in the river wouldn’t have accomplished anything.

“Let’s show those Burghai guys an example this time!”

“Wow! 7th Legion! 7th Legion!!”

Shout more. more. more. That way, you won’t feel unfair about going through that hard time alone.

I put some air in it and it slowly falls back. I smiled.

‘also. What a genius tactician. Nonsense.’

Although it was only for a moment, I had that thought.

Since people around me are floating it around like that, I’m thinking, ‘Perhaps? no way??’ It is true that it did.

But I find out again. I am neither a genius nor a strategist.

I just… hmm. okay. A windbreaker who knows how to mess around.

Nothing more, nothing less. What a genius tactician!
