105. That’s why the quick-witted princess
Combat is up to the captain.
Whether it is a small number of elites or a large number of troops, there are people who represent a unit, and the victory or defeat between those characters greatly affects the victory or defeat of a battle.
Because one overwhelmingly strong person can turn the tide of war.
And the current center of the empire was obviously the Red Dragon Knights.
He was the leader of the knights.
The black that pierced his chest seemed to symbolize the defeat of the Imperial Army.
“This guy…!”
“Long live the Confederacy! Long live His Majesty Pablo Barkat! This is the foresight of His Majesty. He knew ahead of time how these little guys would come out, and he kept me waiting.”
“Shut up!”
perok-
The Red Dragon Knight Commander struck the knight’s head with his elbow and drew his sword. I groaned, and blood spurted out.
“Captain!”
“이 개새끼가!”
The manager stumbled.
It was a sudden situation, a sudden incitement, but it was not Pablo who would miss the opportunity of heaven.
“Good job!”
The bayonet rotated like a windmill. The knights threw themselves.
Qwajik-
A huge piece of iron smashed into the armor. The knight screamed and fell out. But his life did not go away in vain.
“Protect the captain!”
“The captain was attacked!”
“You cowardly bastards!”
After the first charge, the Red Dragon Knights, who were scattered in all directions and ravaged the Allied Forces, reunited.
“Your Majesty cut down the Red Dragon Knight Commander!”
“Cowardly bastards work together!”
“Follow Your Majesty!”
The survivors of the Alliance, who had lost their morale and were collapsing, began to burn the remaining embers of the knight’s agitation and unexpected good news.
But the battle did not burn as fiercely as before.
The Red Dragon Knights began to retreat due to the injuries of the knights commander. The one-sided war situation began to tilt in the opposite direction.
“Move!”
Pablo Barkat tried his best to somehow finish the Captain of the Red Dragon Knights, but the resistance was not formidable.
In the end, I couldn’t kill him.
But the battle was won.
He raised his bloody sword high.
wow-
The Knights of the Union shouted out.
less than half left.
“Where is the knight?”
“Yes? What article are you talking about?”
“A knight of the Union who thrust a sword into the back of the captain of the Red Dragon Knights! It belonged to the Kingdom of Torkan!”
The survivors and the soldiers who came to support later began the search.
and.
“…Collock.”
A knight belonging to Torkan was discovered naked and buried in the ground. Fortunately, he did not die, but he was not the one who provided the clue that changed the war situation.
The Union realized that someone had intervened.
“···how?”
who?
* * *
“Did I hear it wrong?”
The man laughed. It wasn’t a pleasant laugh.
“The commander of the Red Dragon Knights was seriously injured, and it is said that he had to retreat while he was trying to win. Although the veins were not recovered, the damage was said to be greater in the Confederacy.”
“Damage doesn’t matter.”
No matter how much damage, no matter how much damage was done.
“In the end, the important thing is not to say that you do not know whether you have reclaimed the vein or not, right?”
People see only what they want to see. only hear what you want to hear
There are many enemies of the Empire, and there are many more who want to undermine the Empire.
The details were not important to them, who would be keenly aware of every move of the Empire.
Only the result that the empire was defeated and the veins were not recovered is important.
“Who knows this?”
“There aren’t many. However···.”
“It’s all about how the Confederates come out.”
“Even if they joke around and spread exaggerated rumors, nothing will change. The empire is strong.”
“Your prestige will change. The honor of the Empire sucks, and my honor as well. Did you forget that I was in charge of this?”
The five knights whose names were permitted were the pride of the empire.
They must always win.
Defeat meant the collapse of the pride of the empire.
that broke
To the ants of the Confederacy who looked down on it and ignored it.
Those who are not on good terms with the Empire will run and bite like hyenas. Even though that was only a small scratch, the people of the Empire who regarded their country as great were also a problem.
“If this happens, it will be an all-out war.”
Those who did not tolerate defeat were defeated.
There are two ways to restore this. One is a great victory that conceals the fact itself, making it non-existent, or erasing it all.

Men put more weight on the latter.Because there is no way that the Confederates like the Confederates will bury the great victories they have won against the Empire.
Even more so if mana stone veins are hanging.
“Pablo Barkat. Is a star really a star? I hope I can stop the Red Dragon Knights.”
The man grinded his teeth.
There will be no two failures.
* * *
“You must give up.”
Pablo Barkat.
He was so violent and selfish that he could call him a masculine Louise Werft, but he had eyes to see the world.
I thought I could read the situation with a wide field of view.
If it were not for that, no matter how much the Crown Prince of the Barkat Kingdom, even a star would not have been able to represent the Confederacy itself.
“What does that mean?”
“You have defeated the Red Dragon Knights. You touched their wrath.”
There is a line that must not be crossed. Even if the Confederacy and the Empire were enemies, they had to keep that line if they were not going to see each other come to an end.
The five knights of the imperial family who received the dragon’s seal were that absolute good.
“The Dragon Knights must not be defeated. If you lose, you have to erase what is a defeat.”
A knight that must never be defeated.
Their defeat was the rebellion of the Empire, the dragon.
“It will be different from before. They may be poisoned and run to wipe out the Confederacy.”
“It’s too much of a leap.”
“Does that mean it should have been defeated in the first place?”
“Didn’t you tell me you defeated them in the first place?”
“you’re right. Therefore, we are here to inform you that we have only two options left. Whether it’s out there begging for peace, or fighting the waves of an empire hoping for a victory big enough to cover the dragon’s defeat.”
“·················ogue.”
“·················ogue.”
The nobles of the Union swallowed their breath.
They have been united against and against the Empire for many years. No one knew what Pablo meant.
“We need to offer peace to the empire and make the battle itself a no-go. The Red Dragon Knights have never been here.”
“How dare you?”
“As long as you have decided to go to war anyway, you must have had the Knights of Dragons in mind as well, didn’t you?”
“Manastone veins are at stake! Not long ago, you said you have to get it at any cost, so did you get scared after winning?”
The nobles protested.
It was natural. The waves of the Empire are concerned, but the Confederacy has never been weak. Not to mention, if you publicize the fact that you have defeated the Red Dragon Knights, your morale will skyrocket.
Then, a nobleman asked.
“I am well aware of the horrors of the Empire. But even after winning, I don’t think there is any need to go out with a low attitude, damaging one’s honor and prestige. Even so, if His Majesty had such a thought, there must be a good reason, right?”
“Yeah, if it was a normal war, I wouldn’t have argued this far. They would have solidified their victory and somehow stopped the Empire. For that, I tried to kill the Red Dragon Knight Commander somehow.”
“What is it?”
“A third party is involved in this war.”
“··········!”
“··········!”
“What do you mean?”
“You’ll remember the first time I found the ore by myself, I was attacked.”
“Yes.”
“At the time, I thought it was just an excuse, but now that I think about it, Austin Croin of the Blue Griffin Knights doesn’t seem to really know.”
“Are you saying that someone instigated the war by surprise your sire?”
“Couldn’t it be just acting?”
“And anyway, it’s a manastone mine. Having come this far, it’s even weirder to give up.”
“If that’s all, it would be.”
But something else happened.
“While I was talking to Austin Croin, an Imperial knight suddenly made a surprise attack on me. That was the starting point of the battle. In common sense, there is no knight who goes out of his way when the commander of the unit has a conversation with the captain of the enemy. I don’t even think the knights of the Empire are so undisciplined.”
“Maybe it was the imperial number.”
“Then how about this? While me and the Red Dragon Knight Commander were fighting, Torkan’s knight attacked him. Thanks to this, the Red Dragon Knight Commander was seriously injured, and we barely escaped defeat.”
“You mean our article?”
A smile appeared on the lips of the nobleman who came out as the representative of Torkan when he said that he had made a big contribution.
“Isn’t that good news?”
“But when the battle was over, there was no trace of him. And when I scoured the camp, I found the true knight of Torkan, who was buried naked in the ground.”
“···Oh My God.”
“Is that really true? Your Majesty, no matter how much I tell you, you must not lie about this!”
“All the members of the union on the spot are witnesses, so it’s okay to compete.”
Pablo smashed the desk.
“We are now dancing on a board that someone has made. This Confederacy is being taken advantage of by some scum.”
and that sleeper.
“I’m hoping for a bigger war.”
We shouldn’t fight each other, we have to catch him.
“Because he sleeps.”
Pablo added one last time.
“Because they cried out to God.”
“…Oh my God, maybe?”
“Are you saying those cockroaches are still there?”
The complexion of the nobles grew pale.

Red Dragon Knights.
One of the five knights who received the dragon seal.
They were all too familiar with Berge.
After abducting the Crown Prince of Jespine, they were the ones who broke through the tower at the forefront of the Imperial Army.
There was no hero among them, but he was stronger than any other warrior. The knights united as one did not dare to face the heroes of the stars.
It is truly the strongest armed group on the continent.
‘It was a waste.’
Would you say that he is the leader of the Red Dragon Knights, or that his mana is still insufficient?
It was originally meant to pierce the heart. However, the moment he raised his sword, he noticed the presence of Berge.
It was too late to dodge, but he momentarily twisted to avoid the heart. that saved a life
But in the end, the Confederacy won, so that was enough.
“Anyway, the Empire will no longer be able to retreat for the sake of honor and prestige.”
Just like when the Crown Prince was kidnapped, he had a seizure by all means.
The Dragon Knights mean that to the Empire.
“But there may be other cases.”
“What if?”
“Is it a dramatic agreement between the two sides, for example?”
“No way.”
Berger snorted.
“Short-cut is not good.”
“This is not a quick conclusion, but an inference based on clear evidence.”
“But the Empire is arrogant. If you know someone is trying to take advantage of you, they won’t follow you. The Confederacy is no different.”
“Of course it could be. However, when a delicious profit and revenge to be repaid come to mind, it is a human being who has no choice but to do it.”
“But what if there is another way?”
“other way?”
“Before the Confederacy spreads rumors, compromise with the Empire and cover it with something that never happened. I have to bear some loss.”
“Why?”
“Because the Demon Lord was too involved.”
“No one knows the country.”

Magi did not wear any at all, and always wore a mask or a helmet disguised as a knight.“It doesn’t matter that you are the Demon Lord. Being a third person is important.”
“So you don’t think it’s going to end?”
“Maybe?”
“Wrong.”
Berger firmly shook his head. At least this time, he was seeing more accurately than her.
“The Empire is more greedy than you think. obsessed with honor The Red Dragon Knights are their wrath. I will never give up easily.”
“Are you familiar with the Empire?”
“At least I know better than you about the Empire.”
“Well, that’s right.”
“You have a cheeky expression.”
“It’s not even a face.”
“Isn’t that what a face is?”
Berger rolled his eyes. Ernya avoided his gaze.
Because this is coming or not.
“good night. make a bet If I’m right, you should give me at least five safes from the nobles called Hilde.”
“Am I right?”
“What do you want?”
“Not at all, but…”
Her eyes drew arcs.
“Can I leave it alone and tell you what you want later?”
“However much. If you are right.”
Berge growled.
It didn’t happen anyway.
* * *
Ahem.
Ernya shrugged.
murmured like a whisper.
“Where did the person who said he knew the Empire better than I did?”
“·················ogue.”
“Yes?”
The elf, who had run to report after hearing the widespread rumors, tilted his head.
“They say that the Red Dragon Knights are unconditional because it is a traitor. He knew the empire so well that he felt like an imperial man.”
“Shut up.”
“Can I tell you what I want next?”
“·················ogue.”
“The great demon king wouldn’t say two words with one mouth, would he?”
“I swear to the standard and the first demon king, but I won’t do anything like that.”
“You don’t believe it.”
That’s why the quick-witted princess…
“…with my honor.”
“I will believe that.”
The battle did not become a war.
damn it
