Every country in the world proclaims that they are the center of this continent.

It’s natural. It is an essential part for the rational justification of each ruling class.

Everyone knows anyway. Where is the true ‘center of the continent’?

That’s right, empire. Croesen. Altoran is a powerful nation that is devouring the entire land.

Geographically too. In all other respects, the term ‘center of the continent’ is appropriate.

That also means that if something happens to the empire, all countries will know, whether they like it or not.

“… This is what happens in the end.”

Northern part of the continent. Demon Alliance Novogord. A mansion located in the capital, Beogran.

There, Charleroi frowned slightly when he heard about the situation.

“A war between the empire and the three eastern kingdoms.”

“You don’t look good. Charles.”

“It can’t be good.”

“Really? When I went to the council meeting, the council members said they liked it.”

That’s because they only know one thing and don’t know the other.

Charleroi sighed several times as if she felt extremely pitiful.

Worth knowing. You would think that the three eastern kingdoms would relieve the empire of its power.

Don’t the humans of the East have as difficult a relationship with the empire as they do themselves?

The fact that the guys who were bickering with each other got together means that they are going to have a good game.

The lawmakers believe that the three eastern kingdoms could cause hemorrhage to the empire.

We are currently discussing negotiations with the empire, but that could change at any time.

Unlike Novogord, which is taking a moment to catch its breath, the Empire probably feels that it has no time to do so.

Because I am thinking such thoughts, I can laugh and say that it is good and all.

‘If that really happens, will we see a rare scene where moderates join hands with hardliners and suddenly achieve great unification?’

Charleroi couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

This is truly short-sighted judgment. I wonder if these are indeed members of the council.

You should look further, but you only look this close and come to a conclusion?

“Just like the empire did in the past, we had to wipe out those who only occupied seats in the National Assembly.”

“Charles!”

“It’s not wrong. My father also says that sometimes.”

As Charleroi knows, there was a time in the past when the Empire organized the National Assembly.

Not a conflict for the country, but a conflict only for one’s own faction.

It is said that the imperial family, unable to see what was happening, intervened and cleaned it up.

Thanks to this, the empire was able to maintain fairly healthy confrontation and conflict.

It was not an opposition for the sake of opposition, but an opposition for the sake of the national interest.

Unlike here now, Novogord.

“That’s because these damn fools only know one thing and don’t know the other.”

“That’s why I’m like that too. I’m going to die of frustration. All you can see right now is a colander.”

“… to be honest. Hmm. Abby Lee is also a little relieved that the empire is losing some of its power.”

“No! Why is your father like this? I think you’re thinking too simply.”

Even though the three eastern kingdoms joined hands to form a union.

Even if the Empire actually threatened them and told them to forget the past and stick together this time.

Even if they banded together, they would ultimately be nothing compared to the empire.

Population, territory, resources. It is inferior in every aspect.

They even ended up declaring war without any justification.

It will be known that you started the war first, so it will be difficult to shake up the empire.

It will also be difficult to attract other eastern and neighboring countries.

Let’s say that Lady Luck smiles and the alliance of the three powers wins a major battle.

Even so, changes are limited. There is no way the empire could collapse with just that.

It’s fortunate that the three kingdoms don’t fight to eat more if you take off a little piece of flesh.

“On the other hand, if the Empire wins, the order in the east will be reorganized. And the various impacts from that will be felt throughout the continent.”

“… Our Novogord could also fall into that sphere of influence.”

Charleroi nodded at Chairman Caland’s words.

The probability of the Eastern Three Kingdoms Alliance winning against the Empire is low.

On the contrary, the possibility of the Empire winning this war is very high.

Even what can be gained after that victory is very great.

Low risk, high return. What a selfish exchange fee!

‘More than anything, that man. Kael Klauwitz of Berthier’s Empire. He said he was going to war this time too.’

Even now, whenever I have time, Charleroi reminisces about the situation at that time.

And what you get is that the man knows how to properly exploit weaknesses.

The conclusion was that he would never be a pleasant opponent to encounter on the battlefield.

Before coming up with a plan, I try to take the whole situation into my own hands and control it.

After already winning a huge victory through psychological warfare, they make you taste defeat again.

The same goes for the kite part that looked like a shooting star. The same goes for arrow frost that uses fog.

It thoroughly and cunningly targets people’s hearts and shakes them as they please.

In Charleroi’s opinion, the man named Kael was an excellent tactician and a conniving serpent.

“Ah. Charles. It is said that news came in a little while ago about how the war situation in the east was progressing.”

“Hurry, please show me quickly. Quickly!”

“Wait a moment! Why are you so uncharacteristically fussy?!”

The pavilion is a place that must be occupied and defended for the smooth advance of the empire.

From the perspective of the three-nation alliance, it is a place that must be penetrated in order to stop such imperial forces.

It is said that the empire deployed the 12th Legion, which was considered elite, to such a place.

As a bonus, a rising supernova was also placed between them.

‘The flow of war. How did it go? The empire. That man, Kael. What kind of move did they make in this important skirmish?’

Although she is the chairman’s daughter, Charleroi is a little more interested in the battlefield than in parliament.

Above all, I was even more interested because I saw the magical strategy right in front of my eyes.

He would never have thrown an ordinary move. A man named Kael is such a person.

What should I show you? What did he do this time to embarrass the other person?

It is unfair that Novogord is the only one suffering. Someone else has to suffer too.

That way, people won’t say that we are stupid or that the man relied on luck!

“… Ha.”

And Charleroi found out that his prediction was never wrong.

Fishing with one’s reputation. Of course, the exquisite arrangement was hidden until the end.

To drive a wedge into the chaos. Even a secret trick that causes division in the enemy.

The most surprising and scary thing was what they were aiming for.

Most of the strategies that Charleroi knew were tactics. Or they were part of a strategy.

Where and how do you fight? In some way, lure them in. How can I back down?

I thought this was enough to call him a tactician.

But Kael was different. He focused and paid attention to other things.

The psychology of those on the battlefield. An act that shakes and breaks their hearts.

He was doing it very well.

As if cutting a steak, I cut it into pieces with a knife called strategy.

“… Thank goodness.”

I started talking to myself without realizing it. That much, I felt a great sense of relief.

It wasn’t because we were stupid that it happened. It was because he was an opponent he had no choice but to defeat.

This is what happened to me. It would be less unfair to be defeated by someone who is overwhelmingly superior.

okay. It’s okay if you don’t get hit again later. Charleroi thought so.

*

Berthier Empire White Spirit. The residence of the Klauwicz family.

The place had an atmosphere that felt like walking on thin ice.

Please send “”

From the day that Kael, the eldest son and successor of the family, followed the army heading east.

Kaya, who was the precious daughter of the Imperial couple and the family’s cutie, began to be stubborn.

Where? A society banquet? Party venue? no. no. Beyond, to the battlefield!

“Don’t say things that don’t make sense.”

It was only natural that Imperial Baek came forward and tried to stop his daughter.

Kaya is only fifteen years old. It’s not a man, it’s a woman.

He is a Imperial White who knows better than anyone else how rough the battlefield can be.

Would he send his daughter, who is not even an adult, to be sent away?

But Kaya did not break her stubbornness.

In fact, she had her own reasonable reasons.

None other than the current Imperial Baek, who had also gone to the battlefield at the age of fifteen.

“Dad did it too. I can do it too.”

“Now and then can’t be the same.”

Please send “”

“This guy is really!”

Please send “”

There is only one place Kaya wants to go. Going to the Eastern Front.

The reason was not explained, but everyone in the family already knew.

“Why aren’t you sending it to me!”

“Are you asking because you don’t know?! You are only fifteen!”

“Dad also served in the military. I can do it too!”

“This dad was even a man! Kaya, you… .”

No matter how much the imperial society has little discrimination against men and women.

Even if it is a place where abilities are recognized without difference between men and women.

The battlefield inevitably involves discussion of physical differences.

For that reason, when Jeok Baek objected, Kaya headed to the family’s training hall.

“I’m sorry, leader.”

Kaya had a spear in her hand. I didn’t raise a sword for anyone until the end.

But just that window alone. She finally broke through another gate to achieve her goal.

“Cough!”

The knight commander, who was considered one of the first in the Empire to have been guilty of inaction, was ultimately defeated.

Without even looking at it or passing it on to me. Despite giving his all!

“Ha, haha. Have you grown again in such a short period of time, miss? What… Hahaha!”

Although he lost, the leader smiled brightly as if he was happy.

Isn’t it true that the person who defeated him when he was fully mature was none other than his master’s daughter?

If that young lady is already like that, what will happen later?

I’m curious. Really, I’m so curious. I’m looking forward to it.

I can already see it. Enemies swept away by the spear and sword she wields.

At the end of spring, like flower petals falling in the wind, they will all disappear!

At that time, news from all over the pavilion reached the Berthier Empire.

From then on, it was natural for Kaya’s body to cling to the hot Imperial Baek.

“Dad!”

“No!”

Even today, the argument between father and daughter is still ongoing.

In the end, Imperial Baek couldn’t bear it anymore and decided to put a condition on it.

“ character. Kaya. Hey, can you see your window?”

“… yes. Why is that?”

“If you hit the tip of your spear with an arrow, my father will think again.”

“Really?”

Kaya says she likes it. And just as planned! Imperial Baek making an expression.

This is a condition because I know very well that my daughter has no connection to archery.

He clearly saw with his own eyes that he practiced spearmanship every day.

Even the distance is incredibly far away. There seems to be no window visible.

It was literally a father’s ploy to keep his young daughter at home.

But what if Kael was here? He must have tilted his head.

I thought that if I placed a bet without accurately understanding the opponent, I would end up in trouble.

“That’s it, right?! Are you letting me go now?!”

“… .”

Imperial Baek could only stare blankly at Kaya, who accurately hit the tip of the spear.
