End of the war [2nd Battle of Streve (2)]

Looking at the many people urging her to withdraw, Catherine radiated strong energy and put pressure on them.

“Hohoho I guess everyone has forgotten since I was quiet after giving birth… I was the one who overpowered Tiruen of Tesseito during the Adriatic Civil War. Have you forgotten that His Majesty’s martial arts teacher is none other than Catherine Aragorn von Balkan?”

The corps commanders could only groan at the energy Catherine gave off, and Mayer, who had been close to Juno’s women while in the Tessidanikana territory and had a general understanding of their personalities, quickly stepped forward and took her place. When it was secured, she sat down with a satisfied smile and asked for a briefing.

“I heard that the situation is not going well. I heard you’re struggling a lot? What exactly happened?”

“Yes. Currently, the 3rd Guards Corps out of the 4 corps is positioned around Streve and is successfully blocking the incoming support. However, the 4th and 6th corps that attacked the fortress were greatly damaged, and although the 2nd Guards corps suffered slightly less damage, the damage was still quite heavy. Detailed damage figures are written here”

Catherine frowned as she looked closely at the documents handed over by Mayer.

“Hmm… I guess the damage to the Guard Corps near the capital was slightly better than that of other Corps because the equipment was slightly better. Of course, it’s almost like a dog, but… it seems like the damage to the Legion was greater than expected”

“That’s right. Empress Mama. So, Lord Liechtenauer tried to attract the enemy masters and tie them up in a duel, but he failed because one more enemy master was added”

Catherine’s eyebrows rose slightly when she heard Mayer’s report that a master had been added.

“Hmm? If you’re a master… Could it be that you’re the leader of Tesseito’s Royal Guard? Oh, no… I guess not him. He is famous for never leaving Carmarthen, the capital of Tesseito. Then, is this the Marquis of Grace, who was defeated and injured by Vice-Captain Amin in the last Battle of Enakan Plains? I was told that I would need to recuperate for at least 3 months, but how…”

“As you said, it is the Marquis of Grace. It is expected that King Tesseito gave his prized elixir to the injured Marquis Grace”

“… Then, it is understandable that the gentlemen had a hard time. There are three masters, and the commander-in-chief is directly leading the defensive battle and achieving successive victories, so morale must be sky-high”

“Yes, so… we were having a meeting to establish measures to deal with the enemy master. If the enemy’s masters are defeated in front of the enemy, their morale will plummet, and in that case, Streve, which has not yet completed its repairs, will be captured”

“Well, then the decision has been made. The easiest way to deal with a master is to deal with the same master”

Since Catherine’s words meant that she would participate in the war herself, Mayer and his subordinates’ mouths widened.

“Oh, no!! It can never be that much!!”

“Hmm? Why is that? The situation is serious enough that Director Liechtenauer proposes a 2:1 duel. Wouldn’t it be natural that the situation would be much more advantageous if I participated?”

When even Mayer objected, Catherine tilted her head as if she did not understand the meaning.

“Of course, I know very well that the Empress is strong. But I can’t entrust such a dangerous task to the Empress!! If something happens to the Okche, His Majesty…”

It was already widely known throughout the empire that Juno cherished his wives, so Mayer and his staff were afraid of the repercussions if Catherine were to suffer a serious injury.

Quang!

“As I said before, don’t you know that I defeated Duke Tiruen, the strongest man in Tesseito, in a one-on-one duel? And in this situation, I think His Majesty the Emperor himself would have stepped forward. Of course, I know you’re worried about me, so while Director Lichtenauer deals with the two enemies, I’ll take charge of the remaining one. So don’t argue anymore”

Mayer and his staff looked worried, but Catherine was not a woman who would easily back down.

She slammed the table, stood up, and shouted, clearly showing that she had no intention of changing her mind. Most of the corps commanders and staff in the command barracks naturally nodded, overwhelmed by her power.

But Maierman was different. As he knew well how to impress Juno’s wives, he also knew that Juno paid a lot of attention to the well-being of his wives after Miri got seriously injured last time, so he looked directly into Catherine’s eyes and shouted.

“But that doesn’t work!! While Lord Liechtenauer deals with two Masters, you want to deal with the other one? So why don’t you know that the enemy can do the same thing? If the Duke of Tiruen fights Lord Liechtenauer and the two Masters attack Mama… Are you confident that you will win quickly against them? Please think grandly! Empress Mama is no longer just a master!!”

“Hmm… What you’re saying is… it doesn’t matter if there are more masters to deal with the enemy? In that case, each person only needs to be in charge of one person”

“Yes? Well, of course, but… There are masters who can be mobilized in our Balkan Empire…”

Mayer tilted his head at Catherine’s sudden words.

Although the Balkan Empire had a greater number of Masters than any other country on the continent, the problem was that the power that could be mobilized was limited because three of them were of the highest status, the Emperor and Empress.

Then, Catherine smiled and snapped her fingers, and at the same time, the door to the barracks opened and a beautiful woman with a dark face appeared.

“Um, who is the author?”

Although she was wearing a robe, her hood was removed so her face was exposed, and the woman’s face was familiar to Mayer, so he was so embarrassed that he was unable to speak properly.

“Ah! You must have seen Minister Meyer last time on the Enakan Plains. you’re right. This is my mother, Kayla Aragon. Of course, not long ago, he was a mercenary for the Kingdom of Aalto, but this time he was defeated by His Majesty the Emperor and decided to be hired by our Balkan Empire. Hohohoho”

“Oooh!! There is one more master in the empire…”

“It is not easy to trust a master from another country, but you can trust Empress Mama’s mother!!”

Although she was the empress’s mother, the laws of the Balkan Empire did not recognize the emperor’s wife’s family as royal family, and even if this were not the case, the fact that one more master was added was very welcome news in the current situation, so all the corps commanders and staff were filled with joy. I let out an exclamation.

“Of course, in the last Battle of Enakan Plains, you were hostile towards your country… but isn’t that something that can’t be helped if you are a mercenary? I am sure that His Majesty the Emperor will give Kyla a satisfactory reward!!”

“Hohohoho!! sure!! Even though she is my mother… she is a very expensive person. However, last night, His Majesty the Emperor gave my mother a generous reward that she was very pleased with, and she was so moved that she canceled the existing contract and signed a contract with our Balkan country. Yes? mother? Huhuhuhu”

“…. That’s right… Empress Mama… Hmm♥”

When Kayla suddenly fell, Catherine naturally supported her and picked her up.

“Oh my! It looks like your mother is suffering from some aftereffects of spatial movement. That’s all for today. After your mother gets a good rest tonight, tomorrow, after taking out the three enemy masters, the main force can occupy Streve while me, my mother, and Captain Liechtenauer deal with the enemy. Isn’t it? Secretary Meyer?”

At Catherine’s words, Mayer nodded as if he had no choice.

‘I’m a little anxious… but this is the best I can do for now! Anyway, three to three is the right number, and I don’t think Empress Mama will get hurt. But what did His Majesty use again… Alto Mercenary’s contract… If the employer had not violated the terms of the contract, he would not have been able to get Alto Mercenary to break the contract with any decent compensation…’

The mercenaries of the Kingdom of Alto, a country where the land is so barren that many people make a living by going to other countries and doing mercenary work, have strict rules, so Mayer is lost in thought for a moment, thinking about what kind of move Yuno used, and then turns to Catherine in front of him. I saw Kayla’s mother and daughter.

When Kayla, who was leaving the barracks with Catherine’s support, fell once again, Mayer stopped thinking and quickly guided them to the emperor’s barracks, thinking that whatever the situation, it was important for her to recover first. gave.
