Finally, the empire’s second army crossed the eastern border and appeared on the front lines.

3rd Corps and 10th Corps. And up to the 17th Corps. A situation where the legions on the eastern border are gathering in full force.

If you add the corps that were previously deployed, there are as many as 5 corps. It is a large army of 100,000 men.

Of course, the 17th Corps came close to being a reserve corps of the 7th Corps.

Their main mission is to compensate for their losses and provide assistance.

In any case, it is certain that the imperial army in the east became even more powerful.

“You will soon be in the 7th Corps area.”

“Yes, Corps Commander.”

The corps commander in charge of the 17th Corps recalled the news he had heard not long ago.

The shocking story that the elite 7th Legion was defeated and pushed out.

I heard that the enemy’s resistance is strong. It was said that the damage to the union was also very great.

It is said that victory or defeat on the battlefield is determined by illness, but it is still surprising.

That’s how the other members of the military see it, but what about the people involved?

It’s not a good thing to see those who were the tip of the empire’s spear drooping down.

We must arrive quickly, not only for them but for everyone in the empire.

A lot of blood has been shed from the legions, so we need to give them blood transfusions and restore them.

‘I hope the 7th Legion quickly wakes up and fights the final battle with Burghai once again.’

Defeat is also a poison that causes people to break down.

And sometimes, it can be a medicine that changes people.

The 17th Corps commander prayed that this defeat would be medicine rather than poison.

And finally. They arrived at the location of the 7th Legion’s military camp.

“God has ensured the victory of the empire! Our 7th Legion will once again be the tip of the spear!”

“Wow!! 7th Legion! 7th Legion!!”

… what is this. What the hell is going on right now?

From the corps commander to the soldiers. Everyone became dumbfounded.

*

The princess’s consolation. A letter written directly by the Emperor and the Crown Princess.

And to top it all off, my special wind catcher.

The 7th Legion is now fully on its feet. All that remains is to receive what we need from the 17th Legion.

What happens after that, well. The key will be how well Burghai has recovered.

“So. They say they secretly threw a rock full of oil into the river.”

“Yes. That’s why a mysterious color appeared, even if only for a moment.”

Meanwhile, the princess was curious about the whole story, so I had to give her an answer.

Where have you been? Why did I suddenly see a river there? I was so curious.

So I told him honestly, and ha! He let out an exclamation as if he was amazed.

“Charge. As you know, this is unconditional-”

“I know. Keeping it a secret. Don’t worry.”

The princess nodded, saying that she had that much sense.

Then he glanced at me and said, ‘Of course you’re right.’ He started crying.

“Your charge?”

“But then they say he’s not some kind of schemer. Prince Kael, are you just a treacherous person?”

“Not at all. I am just Your Majesty the Emperor and the Crown Princess. And we only added one decoration to the place prepared by Her Majesty the Second Princess. He was just a windbreaker.”

“… Are you sincere, or are you just trying to show humility?”

Of course I mean that sincerely. There is nothing to be humble about.

This wasn’t something I had thought of in the first place, it was based on an anecdote.

However, there is no way to explain this, so it is just a pity.

This is because I am recalling memories from my past life! Honestly, it’s a bit weird to do that.

“Phew… Really, you are the person. Even if I know, I don’t know.”

“I will take this as a compliment. Her Royal Highness.”

“Yes, yes. I do whatever I want. I don’t think they will listen anyway, no matter what I say.”

“Is that possible? These are the words of Her Highness the Princess.”

“Then do you admit to being a treason?”

“As I said, I am not a schemer, but just a wind catcher… .”

“Look at this!”

The princess complained playfully. I also joked about it.

Because we meet often. And as we do something together like this, the sense of distance fades away.

It shouldn’t be like this. Anyway, she is a princess and I am the daughter of a nobleman.

“Hmm. Hmm!”

The princess also seemed to have similar feelings as me, and when she noticed something, she cleared her throat and took a step back.

Just for a moment, a strange atmosphere seemed to flow. The princess opened her mouth first.

“To be honest. I’m a little worried.”

“Your charge?”

“Even though there was a letter between His Majesty the Emperor and my sister. It is said that the soldiers of the corps shouted “Long Live Your Majesty the Emperor” and were moved by the support of Her Majesty the Crown Princess. In the meantime, I received too much attention.”

“That means.”

“There is definitely a crown princess of this country, but I think I am very popular as the second princess.”

I wondered what he was talking about, but I guess that was his concern.

This part doesn’t make a lot of sense. Actually, I was worried for a moment too.

No matter how much a successor has been decided, anyone who could become a competitor is always an object of caution.

And war is dual: it brings chaos, but it also brings glory.

When you make a contribution, your reputation naturally increases, and that reputation confuses those below you.

Perhaps the Emperor might have other thoughts? What happens to the credit he made?

There are cases where the person himself reveals his ambition, but there are also cases where it becomes like that because of reasons below.

It doesn’t matter how he came to threaten his successor. Is it just a threat or not? This is it.

“It seems like the Crown Princess is worried about who will become her Majesty.”

“That’s actually true. My heart sank when the 7th Legion soldiers called me an angel and all. I have absolutely no interest in becoming the next emperor, nor do I covet my sister’s position.”

I nodded to show that I fully understood what the princess said.

But at the same time, I decided to reassure her because I already had expectations.

“I think Her Majesty the Crown Princess won’t be too concerned.”

“How can you be sure?”

“The Crown Princess also knew that what was important right now was the settlement of the 7th Legion, and that Her Highness had to go in order to prevent the Juhwa faction, which had been suppressed for so long, from gaining power again.”

Could it be that the Emperor and the Crown Princess gave permission without any intention?

There’s a reason for everything. That’s why he said it was okay for me to take the princess with me.

In their opinion, it is best for the princess to personally console the 7th Legion.

This is because it can show that the main faction will maintain political power unconditionally until the war ends.

Those in power should not be looked down upon. If they do something, the calculation is already done.

This is not something I know because I am a genius, nor is it something I expect because I am a clever person.

From memories of a past life. This is something that can be known just by reading the history books of this world.

The reason why the emperor and the princess have great confidence in me is also similar.

Our territory is located relatively far from the islands.

As soon as there is a hint that I am about to do something foolish, the game is over.

And our Klauwitz family is Imperial White.

Imperial Baek is a place where one shines when one is loyal to the imperial family and the empire.

The title he received was not just a count, but an imperial title.

If you give up this cause, the social prestige you have received so far as an imperial white will disappear in an instant.

Lastly, I am someone who has some distance from the military to begin with.

He may be a bookkeeper and all, but he actually has no command authority. I am just an advisor.

If I was hanging out with a dangerous person, even if the check came in, it would have come in long ago.

“What I have to do now, Princess, is not to worry, but to simply meet their expectations. Honey, please quickly put aside any thoughts of being a nuisance to Her Majesty the Crown Princess.”

“… It’s fascinating.”

“Yes?”

“When you said that, my worries disappeared like a lie.”

“Isn’t this proof that Her Majesty’s worries were light and her faith in Her was deep?”

Then the princess suddenly looks at me.

“Or else. Did I have that much trust in Prince Kael?”

“… .”

“It’s no joke.”

Uh, um. I don’t know how to answer here.

After whining for a moment, the princess bursts into laughter.

“Anyway. A strange person. Sometimes, it’s so thorough that it gives you goosebumps. And at other moments, he is as naive as a child. Really, I don’t even know who he is. Isn’t it acting?”

“If this was all acting, wouldn’t you have been hearing the voice of the actor and not the voice of the strategist?”

For your information, there are plays and actors in this world too.

If the technology had been good, we could have filmed a different world version of The Lord of the Rings.

When I think back to my past life, I remember that there were similar novels.

ah. If I had known this would happen, I would have read more books and cooked more in my past life. also… .

“Prince Kael!”

“Ah, yes. majesty. Did you call me?”

“Why are you suddenly thinking so much that there is no answer when I call you?”

That’s it. When the war is over, I can use the memories of my past life in a different way –

“Ah. no way? okay. I’m sorry, Prince Kael. I made a mistake.”

“… Yes?”

“Weren’t you thinking of the next plan? Now that we have raised the 7th Corps so well, what are our plans for the next time?”

“Well, it was Her Highness who raised the 7th Legion.”

“Don’t joke. If anyone hears it, they’ll think it was all a plan I came up with.”

ah. shit. I fall in love again. That princess’s eyes. Those bright eyes.

When you face those expectant gazes, something indescribable arises.

Am I weak to those gazes? Or maybe he’s only weak to the princess.

“As you know, Her Highness, I don’t have much talent for military strategy. It’s true.”

“Yes, yes. Let’s say so. So what plan do you plan on using? Sir?”

no. You really have high expectations! Such expectations are very harmful to people… .

Lots of expectations… To people… Very harmful… .

“A moment. for a moment. Your Majesty.”

“Look at that. I already pictured it all in my head.”

Oh, that’s because I said it wasn’t like that!

I just have high expectations, people, very harmful. Here, ‘Is this okay?’ That’s all I thought!

“So. What kind of plan is this time? Please let me know. yes? Let me know!”

“Don’t fuss. I will tell you from now on.”

I came this far. You must give at least one gift to the soldiers of the corps.

It would be a bit awkward to let him fight another difficult battle when he was resurrected so powerfully.

I think we need to at least hold on to the enemies’ ankles so they can feel at ease when they advance.

What I came up with is an extremely simple part.

The princess spread information about me to the 7th Legion.

Everyone is happy that a genius tactician has come to their side.

So, does Burghay really not know this fact?

You probably know. I’m sure you know.

The momentum of the 7th Legion, which had been barely killed by shedding a lot of blood, was revived again.

Therefore, it is clear that they will be extremely nervous and will concentrate their full power.

and. In the first place, the commander-in-chief was meant to be used at times like these.

As a bonus, the most painful blow is not to an enemy, but to an ally.
