“Prince Kael! Hey, are you okay?!”

“Her Highness the Princess.”

“Don’t move! Blood, blood! Blood!!”

“Her Highness the Princess?”

“Keep talking. Keep breathing!”

“… .”

Her Royal Highness. If anyone heard it, they would think an arrow had been stabbed in the chest.

It’s just a blind arrow grazing your neck, so don’t worry too much about it.

Oh, of course, if it had been a little deeper, it would have been a serious injury.

Who wouldn’t say it’s the Klauwitz family? The unique nature engraved in his blood came out.

Even though I was injured, I thought, ‘Ah. This is no big deal. ‘No death.’ And just pass it over.

I heard that your father used to be like this on the battlefield and that he got scolded by your mother a lot afterwards, right?

“I’m really fine. Her Royal Highness. Look at this. The wound is not that deep.”

“It’s not that easy to say! Prince Kael is an important person who will lead the future of our empire! No matter how big or small, an injury is an injury!”

“I didn’t aim for it from over there in the first place, but it ended up here by luck.”

“Don’t be stupid! What a scary place the battlefield is! The battlefield is a place where even the best commanders can lose their lives in vain!”

scary. The princess’s spirit is so fierce that I can’t say anything more.

Would you say this feels like a husband being scolded by his wife for being caught being rude?

The princess, who dragged me to the last resort, personally gave me first aid.

The princess puts clean gauze on the wound and wraps it with a bandage. Just be a little gentle.

“That’s it. Rest here for a little while.”

“No. I will return to my seat.”

“I’m not even a commander. Do I really have to do that? Originally, staff and advisors should be in a safe place.”

“That’s—”

“It’s not just a matter of lack of fighting ability or courage. There is no more fatal damage to the military than the pointless loss of a staff member or officer. A commander’s job is a commander’s job. Staff and secretaries have separate jobs. This is a completely natural part. Prince Kael.”

“… .”

It’s not wrong. okay. There is no need for the head to do the work of the hands and feet.

It’s not about disparaging your hands and feet. And if your head breaks, that’s the worst outcome.

Did you say that Mr. Pangtong, who was a member of the Nakbong faction in Yanyi and all, actually died after being hit by Liu Shi in the Battle of Nakseong, which he won?

It must have been a bloody thing for Liu Bei to lose his key advisor so unexpectedly.

“Her Highness the Princess.”

But still.

“I will return to my seat.”

“Prince Kael!”

“If you think about it, I created this situation. This is a battle I led. We can’t fight together, but at least we have to see each other in the same place. Those who fight. Those who are hurt. and… Even those who fall.”

My father’s words come to mind. Whether you wield a spear sword directly on the battlefield. Whether discussing operations behind the scenes.

All those people have to do is to keep their eyes on the fighting people.

It is said that if you know the horrors of the battlefield, you can discuss and do whatever comes next.

“So I have to go back.”

“… Haha.”

Fortunately, the princess didn’t stop me anymore.

He just sighed a few times, then suddenly glanced at me and continued speaking.

“Did you tell me to go back quickly like this?”

“Your case is completely different from mine. How can a noble and a princess-”

“There is no problem even if there is no princess, but the problem becomes more serious if there is no one who can control the battlefield on her own. Even if I were like my older sister, I would have sent Prince Kael.”

I just got lucky. While saying this, I heard another noise.

Honestly, it’s unfair. If you look at it from a little distance, everything I did was luck.

They say I took advantage of the psychology of my enemies, but what if no one followed suit?

Whatever it is, it’s a plan and it’s ruined before it’s even implemented properly.

Real genius strategists established a secondary plan to prepare for such an emergency.

Or, they were implementing another plan that was bound to happen.

On the other hand, no matter how good I am, I’m just a follower.

―Waaaa!!

When we arrived at the corps’ ranks again, huge shouts filled the surroundings.

The spear knives collide, and sparks and debris fly out here and there.

When someone’s shout rang out, someone else’s scream followed.

This is war. A scene of the most elaborate and cruel violence ever created by humans.

Seeing that gigantic killing intent erupting in front of me makes my stomach tingle.

“Her Highness the Princess.”

“Do you want to go now? Well thought out.”

“That’s not it. Since a while ago, you keep subtly calling me a schemer.”

“A bookmaker is called a bookmaker. Then what do you call it?”

When I was about to say something, the princess quickly cut me off.

“You said it was a situation you created. You said it was a battle you led. Prince Kael, you said so with your own mouth. What does that mean? Aren’t you just acknowledging yourself as a schemer?”

“No. As I said, I played the role of a wind catcher. So, I told you this was a situation I created… .”

Ah, Her Royal Highness. You have to listen to what people say until the end.

Shake your head and say it’s not worth listening to! How embarrassed I am if you turn it around!

“Her Highness the Princess. If you call a guy like me a schemer, the real schemers will be disappointed.”

“Yes, yes.”

“Listen. They used a plan that was incomparable to mine, to the point where they made a battle like this a thing… .”

“Yes, yes. I guess so.”

shit. That’s wrong. I don’t even have the slightest intention of listening.

Why don’t you believe me? If the real trickster was here, he would have brought in the southeast wind!

‘Now that I think about it, Kaya, when is this guy planning to come?’

It was natural for Kaya to be scared when an unexpected arrow passed by her.

He looked at me bleeding and suddenly decided to go somewhere.

When I asked him what he was doing, he answered that he was going and bringing a large shield.

I told him to go quickly because it sounded like something plausible, but since then there has been no news.

You’re probably not taking the shields from the soldiers because you don’t know where to get them, right?

I can’t do it. If you do something like that, strange things will come out later.

The eldest son of a noble family who stole a soldier’s shield because he was too busy living.

Wow. Just imagining it makes me want to print it as a newspaper headline.

“Prince Kael?”

“Stop talking about the bookmaker. majesty. That’s later… .”

“Not that! There, there! Look over there!”

Look over there? Following the princess’s words, I turned my head.

In front. The leader of the 7th Corps, barely visible but far away.

A whirlwind blows between them as they clash with Burghai’s army and endure a tremendous offensive.

Every time it passed, Burghay’s army was flying in all directions.

‘what. that.’

At first I thought it was a real tornado. But, that wasn’t it.

The first thing you see is a war horse. And the rider riding on it.

It’s very small. It’s small, but it looks even smaller because it’s holding a long window.

But every time the little rider swings his spear once, Burghay falls.

I stared at the scene blankly and then instinctively screamed.

“Kaya!”

*

Burghay’s command was doing its best to lead the army.

“Attack! Attack!!”

“Push on! More, more! If you lose here. No, if you don’t win, you’ve lost even if you don’t lose! Your family and relatives will become slaves of the empire!”

“If you feel like you are going to die, stab at least one more person, cut him, and die. If you can’t do that, just bite it!”

Not long ago, cases of ‘defense’ and ‘counterattack’ were being assumed against the imperial legions.

But suddenly the roles were reversed. The defender suddenly became the attacker.

This caused some confusion, but it did not become a major problem.

“The Imperial 17th Corps has appeared in the direction of our left wing!”

“Don’t worry. Anyway, half a penny is the corps because they are giving blood transfusions to the 7th corps! The enemy’s main force is concentrated in the center and left wing! Just stopping our offensive is enough! The target is the 7th Corps! Push it!”

Win somehow. Somehow, inflict a crushing blow on the enemy.

Only then will we be able to hold back the forces of the empire that are still threatening to rise up.

Even if you can’t, there is a chance that you can persuade Kaden, who is looking at the liver.

The empire is huge. The number of troops they have is close to 400,000.

But that is only the total number of troops. And the empire has all its borders facing other countries.

In other words, the maximum power that the empire can deploy beyond each border is 100,000.

And if you combine all the forces of Burghai and Kaden, you get about 80,000.

‘Honey Kaden is also sitting on the sidelines for now. As soon as we decide it’s worth fighting with the Empire, we’ll help Burghai and put pressure on the Empire’s army!’

Therefore, this battle is more important than ever.

If we win just one more time, we can announce Burghai’s superiority to the world.

It is not nonsense to say that it is worth doing because the morale of the Imperial Legion will drop.

little bit more. little bit more. Even if it’s something very small, please.

In this tight match, what decides the winner is a split-second change.

I hope our allies can do that. If only I could do that, the direction of victory and defeat-

“Wow!!”

“Aaaaa!!”

Suddenly, a screaming sound becomes stronger from the front.

It doesn’t happen because the enemy’s attacks become stronger.

For that matter, the front lines are collapsing too quickly.

“A rider has barged in and is making a mess!”

“Hurry up and send the knights! If we kill just a few of those guys, we can turn the momentum to our side!”

“Cooper attack! Definitely throw me off the horse!”

There is absolutely no such thing as fairness on the battlefield.

It seems like they are doing this to boost the morale of their allies, but it will actually do the opposite.

Dropping just a few of those people can have the opposite effect.

“I don’t care how many knights stick to me! Somehow… .”

The problem was that the other person was far from what they expected.

“Well, what is it? That one.”

“This is crazy! What the hell!!”

“Wow!!

When I saw the head of the knight Sernot fall from a single swing of the spear.

When cutting down all the arrows sent to knock down a horse or the net thrown.

When I thought that breaking the battle line with a single person was like a wild beast.

Burghay realized that there was something else the empire was hiding.

“Stop it! Stop it!”

“Damn it! Zenjaaaang!”

“Ugh!”

“Aaaah!”

It’s just amazing that one person can achieve such feats.

An ordinary soldier and a skilled knight. The spear wielded by that rider turns into an immortal enemy.

There is also a window blocking the front. A shield that wants to become a wall. It shatters with just one stroke of the spear.

It is nearly impossible to turn the battle around through individual power.

However, the moment when a very small number of people arrive and make the impossible possible.

The atmosphere and balance of the battle. The direction of victory or defeat is often decided in an instant.

To what extent did you hide it and hide it?

To what extent have you misjudged us?

They had a hunch as they watched the Empire’s armed forces charging at them with a single-pointed sword.

This battle. No, this war is their defeat.
