Even after the battle was over, the morale of the kingdom was very high.
In an outnumbered battle, he won a great victory.
The one who did that was the second prince of the kingdom, Cruz.
Because he destroyed the battle he was prepared for for a long time in an unfavorable situation in the first place.
The fact that the direction of the war actually leaned towards the victory of the kingdom and the prince’s performance.
It was natural for the kingdom army to be very happy with these two facts.
“Princess Alan, is it okay for a moment?”
“Yes, it is fine.”
It was Alan who felt this atmosphere the most.
Right after the battle, there were so many people looking for him.
“I’d like to ask you a few questions about the deterioration of Cruz, would you mind?”
“Yes, if it doesn’t matter if I tell you.”
“If it’s not a problem, can you tell me how your lord is doing?”
Everyone who came asked about Cruz.
The peculiar thing was that they did not show any political intentions.
It showed only pure curiosity and awe.
It was an atmosphere that had never been experienced in the royal palace or within the family.
‘At first, I wondered why did you ask me this… … .’
In the past, Alan had been with Cruz since his bad reputation.
He was the eldest son of the Rothstein family, the largest political support base.
It is widely known that they are personally close to each other.
So, from a third person’s point of view, Alan had no choice but to be Cruz’s closest friend.
‘Indeed it is, but… … .’
Actually, he didn’t know much.
Of course, I knew about the Heavenly Spirit and the Heavenly Legion, but… … .
“Since you always strive for training, you must have been doing this kind of learning without a break.”
“As expected. Do you have any guesses as to why Your Highness has such a mighty talent?”
I didn’t know the answer to the current question.
In the first place, Alan didn’t know why Cruz could show such an appearance on the battlefield.
Although I could understand that the magic talent was so innate.
The leadership shown on the battlefield this time was not like that.
Is it possible without experience to have this kind of skill and commanding ability?
In fact, Alan, who had seen similar appearances like this, thought so.
Others didn’t, so it was a huge shock.
“Well, in fact, I’ve been seeing that eccentric side of the lower class all along.”
“… … Well, that kind of thing is only possible if you’re born. Thanks for telling me.”
“No, take a look.”
In fact, the reason Alan reacted less than the others was because he was used to it.
The shock of the battlefield that I experienced for the first time was also great.
The premise of training so far was to subdue the opponent, not to kill them.
For Alan, this war was devastating in many ways.
＜Kill all the bastards of the kingdom!＞
＜Quaaak!＞
＜Don’t back down! All these guys… … Cuckoo!＞
It was a natural place to kill people.

Like in sparring, the sword or magic didn’t even stop right before harming the opponent.
A scene of madness in which, when the need arises, one kills an opponent even while sacrificing one’s own body.
It seemed that the thick, thick bloody smell was still there.
‘Did you mean that you should go through it once?’
In the future, you will encounter situations like this all the time.
If the stories I heard come true, sooner or later we will have no choice but to collide with the great families of the Feyer continent… … .
It was Alan who felt firsthand what the responsibility of a person with power is.
“What are you doing here?”
“Lowering.”
At my call, Alan slowly raised his head as if he had finished his agony.
He didn’t look like him, but he seemed strangely sincere, so I decided not to ask.
“Are you done with your business?”
“Yeah, I just double-checked the captured prisoners.”
After succeeding in killing Lasabut, the one-way flow continued.
Having lost their commander-in-chief, the strong demons are in danger of being annihilated due to a great drop in morale.
At this time, I was wary of the intrusion of the Regeneration Church.
‘Why didn’t I?’
Although we know their methods.
It was impossible to fully respond to it.
In any case, the kingdom was also in a state of exhaustion due to the battle with the strong demons.
There was a possibility that the main forces of the Resurrection Church would come out on the battlefield, so I let Leah rest… … .
They didn’t show up until the very end.
‘Well, actually, it’s not so strange that I can’t understand it… … .’
Reversing the losses suffered in defeat was a very difficult task.
There were many cases where the military was forced to add more troops to make up for this.
So, it was understandable that there was no support.
However, no matter how much I thought about not helping them retreat, I couldn’t understand it.
‘No, it’s not that I didn’t help, but rather I interfered.’
I kept my eyes on the battlefield, feeling a sense of incongruity with the strong demons who were helplessly defeated.
Then I witnessed a strange sight.
The commander of the river demon tribe, who was moving to retreat, was suddenly attacked and fell down.
‘Looking at his movements, he was quite talented.’
In response, I suddenly remembered what I said to the Kingdom Army.
The reason why the Resurrection Church did all kinds of cruel things was not for pleasure.
It is because there was a clear purpose that had to be so.
From nob le mt l dot com
Looking at the scene, I was able to be sure of one thing.
‘They had no intention of helping the strong demons in this battle in the first place.’
In fact, in this battle, the power of the strong demons was superior.
If there is an assumption that the kingdom troops of other fronts or unused weapons are used.
The current situation was that it was difficult for the strong demons to defeat the kingdom army.
Knowing this and not helping means that the goal is actually to sacrifice the strong demons.
I couldn’t help but feel a strange sense of deja vu here.
‘It’s clear that they gain something by sacrificing people. Are you aiming for that?’
Perhaps, I also thought that it was the trump card remaining in the Resurrection Church.
The fact that they don’t back down even after information has been leaked means that they believe in something.
‘So I captured as much as I could and made him a prisoner… … .’
The more I thought about it, the more I thought it was not a bad decision.
There was no other way to explain their behavior other than this.
“How do you plan to move after that?”
After thinking about Alan’s question, I opened my mouth.
“I’m thinking of organizing a special unit inside the detached unit.”
“Special forces?”
“Yes, about thirty people.”
“Why did you make that decision?”
“There are a lot of suspicious parts in their movements. So it is necessary to spy on a small number of people… … .”
During the explanation, I felt a slight discomfort.
It came from the fact that Alan asked this question.
I didn’t ask because I was just curious, but more so because I felt the intention to grasp the overall situation.
“Could you please give me some more reasons for that?”
“Okay, I have time.”
I further explained what I had thought before, and that the kingdom’s power, including the Blue Lion, would gather here.
“Is that okay?”
“Since they were defeated from the beginning, the strong demons won’t have the energy to attack elsewhere.”
“I guess this is why you moved so drastically from the beginning.”
“There is that too. I was confident that I would be successful. By the way, Alan.”
“Yes, lower.”
“How was the battlefield?”
“Oh, that was scary. People are dying everywhere, the air is heavy, and you have to be alert all the time.”
It seemed like he was talking a little bit loudly.
Rather, it seemed that he was trying to hide the fear he felt at the scene.
“So I felt like I was lacking a lot. The need to focus on training even more.”
Alan’s calm tone was clearly different from before.
There was still an air of naivety somewhere.
There was a firm will that he hadn’t felt before.
“That’s why I’m telling you, it’s not enough, but I want to learn from the lower side in the future.”
“It’s an unexpected answer, and the decision is quick.”
In the end, Alan was included in the detached unit for identification purposes.
It was a kind of test to see if he would be able to fight alongside himself in the future after experiencing the war himself.
Even if you have talent and skills, there are people who can’t adapt to the atmosphere of this battlefield.

Luckily, Alan didn’t seem to be like that.
“By the way, is he okay? I often see a 6-star stronger than me… … .”
“It’s okay, if you roll a little under me, you can easily defeat those guys.”
“Since you say so, it must be true.”
The next day, the Kingdom Army held a meeting to make further moves.
All participants had smiles on their faces.
It was a completely different atmosphere from when I first arrived at the front.
“Thanks to the low performance of Cruz, the morale of the soldiers is very high.”
“It is worth it! We defeated the strong demon cavalry from the front.”
“Isn’t this the end of the war? ha ha ha!”
“I think the future of the kingdom is really bright.”
… … Their excited atmosphere made me unknowingly frown.
Sometimes, there are times when the uplift and optimism is too much and it works badly.
I feel it now from them.
“Everyone seems so conceited, what do you think? Commander-in-Chief Habram.”
Those who were excited by my slightly subdued voice shut their mouths at once.
Habram, too, did not immediately open his mouth.
After thinking for a moment, he nodded.
“Your words are right. I understand that you are excited, but you need to be a little more self-respecting.”
“I apologize, Commander-in-Chief.”
“Then let’s start the meeting.”
Habram brought the papers and handed them out to those present at the meeting.
There was a note about what to do next.
After confirming the contents, I couldn’t help but frown again.
“Commander-in-chief.”
“Yes, lower Cruz.”
“Why are you still holding wires elsewhere?”
The reason why the kingdom did not gather its troops in one place and deployed on multiple fronts was because it was conscious of the attack of the strong demons.
It was because the cavalry, which numbered up to 30,000, was that much of a threat.
But in the last battle, they lost less than half of their cavalry.
In addition, since one of the generals lost morale, it was possible to narrow the front line and concentrate troops.
“Although they have been defeated, there is still the possibility of an attack.”
“Is it just in case?”
“Yes that’s right.”
“When you have a chance to win, wouldn’t it be better to gather your troops and push them away?”
“Yes, that is why we have requested additional troops.”
The contents were also written, but the number of requested soldiers was not very large.
‘I think the decision to push it all at once is correct… … .’
A soldier’s morale in war is bound to skyrocket even with small occasions.
It’s an overwhelming gap right now, but as long as the Resurrection Church exists, you don’t know what will happen.
‘… … Well, this isn’t a bad judgment at all.’
Even if the opponent’s forces exceeded the expected number, the currently prepared troops could sufficiently deal with them.
So there was a point in minimizing the damage to the kingdom.
So I decided to skip this.
“Why don’t you use weapons for the next attack?”
“As you said before, it is a judgment conscious of the Resurrection Church.”
“No, things are different now.”
There’s a good chance they’re up to something.
Judging from the memories of the previous life, there was a high probability that what they prepared would be revealed in the next battle.
“It doesn’t matter if the Resurrection Church doesn’t participate in the next battle.”
It was because he was able to completely destroy the strong demons by using a hidden hand and pushing more firmly.
It was a decision made because there was no need to save more.
“… … .”
However, the commanders who heard my words made strange faces.
Should I go that far? The thought was blatantly displayed on his face.
Habram wasn’t as good as them, but I could feel him thinking that it wouldn’t be necessary.
‘It’s a big deal.’
I was sure of the current atmosphere.
They are overly optimistic about the current situation.
It was because it was revealed that even if the power of the Resurrection Church was combined with the Mahayana from the first match and the strength of the Resurrection Church, which was learned from Morgan’s memories, it was possible to cope with it with the current forces.
“Sir, the weapons currently possessed by our army require considerable resources just to take them out.”
“Know. Even taking that into consideration, I am saying that there is a need to use it.”
“… … .”
The moment I tried to raise my voice at their lukewarm response.
“All right.”
Habram’s answer silenced my voice.
“Now is not the time to act only with the thought of reducing losses, so we will bring weapons to the next offensive.”
Their perceptions stemmed from a lack of experience.
I had no experience fighting against stronger forces, let alone actual combat.
Although he knows how to minimize damage against an underpowered foe.
Everything else is because they haven’t experienced it.
‘This is something you can only realize by going through it yourself.’
While adjusting the remaining details, a messenger entered the meeting room.
The news was that reinforcements had arrived.
Habram, who was checking the list, said to me.
“The Central Mage Tower has come to visit this place, poor Cruz.”
