Rekjit is not a word that refers to one force. The hundreds of nomadic tribes scattered across the north are all referred to as Lekjit.

And the Rekjit spoken of in the empire are mainly comprised of two tribes: one is the Kerdu tribe and the other is the Perta tribe. The Kerdu are bad Rekjit who disturb the borders of the empire on a false day, and the Perta people are good Rekjit who occasionally trade with the empire.

Akalit, the great chief of the Kerdu tribe, was celebrating the victory by drinking horse wine. It was a commemoration of the easy victory in the fight against the Perta tribe. It was unfortunate for the Empire, but the Kerdu were much better at fighting. but…

“Warchief. There is news from the border.”

“News? What’s the news?”

“It is said that there was a large-scale purge in the northern armies of the empire.”

“Purge? What does that have to do with us?”

“It is said that the new commander who took power is the commander who defeated Ispantar last time.”

That was definitely troublesome. Ispantar was a brave warrior who competed for rank among the Lekjit tribe. If a commander who could easily destroy Ispantar took control of the Northern Army, the Northern Army would probably become stronger than ever. It was a difficult situation for Rekjit.

After pondering for a while, the warchief put down the Mayu Ju and quietly stood up from his seat.

“Cancel the banquet.”

“Yes?”

“No banquets until the Perdus are completely erased from the map! Cancel the banquet! We are going to invade the land of the Perdu people!”

The warriors looked puzzled at those words, but the warchief’s orders were absolute. Soon, the warchief began to ride away on horseback, and the warriors gathered their horses and weapons with well-trained movements and began to follow the warchief.

“The northern army of the empire will become stronger! So our allies must become stronger first! Destroy the Perdu people and achieve northern unification!”

“Wow!!!”

Northern unification. The warriors were aflame with the ambition of the warchief, who spoke earnestly of a feat that no one had accomplished for 100 years.

“So, Georges Brestmaier has completely taken control of the Northern Army?”

“Yes.”

In a room decorated with various beautiful ceramics and works of art, a blonde nobleman laughed in a low voice.

“Each of my opponents was handpicked by the emperor. It’s no fun if you can’t even do that.”

“Yes.”

“Then, I can’t be left behind either. Where are the generals?”

“I’m waiting at the military barracks.”

“I’m going there now.”

After 10 minutes, the military camp.

The military camp of the Eastern Army was quite noisy. The executives were raising their voices and criticizing each other, and the content was as follows.

“30,000 troops from the Ares Islands are already gathered in front of you! What can we do without defeating them?”

“They have already come a long way! They have a long supply line, so we have an advantage if we just hold out within the castle, so what’s the hurry?”

“Wouldn’t they be able to join forces with the Dorok army that joined late and attack our castle?”

“Ha! General Becker doesn’t seem to know much because his bag strap is short, but he is a close friend of the Kingdom of Dorok and the Ares Islands. The two will never join forces.”

In summary, it was about whether to attack the 30,000 soldiers in front of us now or to concentrate on mercury. Vinnet Franz sat down, thinking he was having a rough discussion. Even though Biene Franz sat down, the discussion did not end. Normally, when the commander sits down, one has to at least pretend to look at him, but Wiene Franz was completely ignored. This is because Vinnet Franz was an emerging nobleman, and all of his subordinates were either clan nobles or factions favoring the clan nobles.

This meant that Wiene Franz was in a more difficult situation than Georges Breastmeier. Georges Brestmaier was at least a member of a noble family and suffered no losses due to his origins. But Wiene Franz was different. Because he was from a fallen noble family that was no different from a commoner, he was not treated as a noble in aristocratic society. and…

-bang!

Vinnet Franz hit the table and it split in half. Only then did the nobles silence their mouths. I couldn’t help but shut up. Who would open their mouth after seeing a table split in half?

“Everyone, shut up.”

“… ”

“What is this…? ”

“The operation has been decided.”

“What are you talking about… ”

“From now on, our troops will lead the entire army and charge at the enemy.”

Vinnet Franz left a single word and walked out, waving his white cloak. And some knights who followed Binet Franz followed him.

With a sudden word from Vinnet Franz, all 30,000 troops from the Eastern Army began to move at once. However, these 30,000 people did not all think the same way.

“How can I disturb that damn brat… If that guy makes another contribution, the nobles will feel uncomfortable.”

“It’s simple. All we have to do is not follow when he charges.”

This was the same type of protest that Deputy Commander Bernitz made in the north. If one or two soldiers protested like that, they would be executed, but if most of the soldiers protested, then the one who made the move would be considered a strange person. If there was a high-ranking officer who could cover it, it could have been handled as a confusion of orders.

“No matter how good Vinet Franz is, if the soldiers are not following him, what can he do on his own? Let’s watch in anticipation to see his triumphant expression fade after the battle. Hahaha!”

While the senior officers were plotting and laughing. Binet Franz was not unaware of this fact.

“They must be thinking of protesting.”

“Yes.”

“Still, we win. Because we can’t fall behind Georges Brestmaier.”

“Yes.”

And when the battle began.

“All army assault!”

Wiene Franz’s horse raised its front legs and neighed loudly. When Biene Franz shouted, about 5,000 knights and soldiers followed Biene Franz. However, the remaining 25,000 did not follow Binet Franz and ignored him.

“Hehehe… ”

The senior officers of the opposing faction, leading 25,000 soldiers, were laughing. Because I was looking forward to seeing Vinnet Franz’s angry and shameful face after the battle. However, Vinnet Franz did not stop charging even though the 25,000 men in the rear did not follow.

“What, what is it?”

This is because Vinnet Franz continued the assault with only 5,000 men following him. In this way, the 30,000 people from the Ares Islands and the 5,000 people from Biene Franz began to clash.

“What are you doing, that bastard! Our troops are not following us!”

However, contrary to the worries of the senior officers, Biene Franz’s momentum was enormous. The place where Wiene Franz went became a road, and wherever Biene Franz attacked, the enemy became confused and began to run away.

“This is crazy!”

Wiene Franz had 5,000 men, overwhelming 30,000 men. If this continues, they will simply become incompetent officers who have not achieved any achievements. The officers of the opposing faction, thinking so, hurriedly shouted.

“It’s an attack, attack! Attack quickly now!”

“Ah! That’s right! Follow the commander! Kill all the enemies!”

High-ranking officers of the opposing faction had no choice but to follow in Binet Franz’s footsteps.

Wiene Franz solved the problem with overwhelming force using a method that Georges Brestmaier could not.

That’s right. If you are strong, your head won’t have to suffer.

After the battle ended like that. Vinnet Franz returned to the barracks covered in blood.

In fact, this fight was close to impossible to win. This is because the friendly forces had no intention of winning in the first place and were only thinking of interfering with Vinnet Franz.

However, Biene Franz somehow overcame the situation using his overwhelming force and confidence.

And soldiers were a people who instinctively respected the strong.

When Wiene Franz entered the barracks covered in blood, the soldiers all began to salute him.

And the salute spread to the officers, so that neutral officers who were not from Binet Franz’s faction or even officers from the opposing faction saluted Binet Franz.

Vinet Franz’s once-white cloak turned red and fluttered. Vinnet Franz walked confidently among the soldiers with his gaze forward. To prove that his majesty was in no way less than that of the emperor.

Everyone in the barracks saluted towards Biene Franz. Even the high-ranking officers in the military camp came out due to the commotion.

“Why is the barracks so quiet? Is something wrong?”

And the senior officers who came out could not help but be surprised. This is because all the officers and soldiers in the barracks stopped what they were doing and saluted in unison towards Vinnet Franz.

And Vinnet Franz approached the senior officers of the opposing faction and said to them:

“Don’t the police salute?”

“Yes?”

“Why don’t you salute!”

Binet Franz shouted like thunder, and even the high-ranking officers of the opposing faction were swayed by the momentum and atmosphere and had no choice but to salute Binet Franz.

After that, rumors began to spread that Vinnet Franz had taken control of the eastern army. Georges Brestmaier went through all kinds of hardships to take control of the northern army, but Wiene Franz easily took control of the eastern army with one battle. And there was still a lot of time left before the two clashed in earnest.
