Mok warriors moving along the road.
At the head of a large army of around 10,000 people, he is known as the strongest Morc warrior.
The Great Chief Horatu was encouraging the soldiers.
“Their land is scarce. Do not relax!”
You can feel his strength as the strongest warrior of the Mok tribe.
As a result, the soldiers began to prepare their minds for the upcoming battle.
Despite the battle with their own people, the Morks are unwavering as warriors.
Seeing their trustworthy appearance,
General Neto nodded slowly and at the same time began to think seriously about what to do next.
‘If these forces join the rebels, it will surely be a big blow to them. If they take advantage of their weakness and move the Imperial Army in the Maple Region, it will be able to end the rebels.’
A small victory now necessary as a stepping stone to a huge victory.
However, on the other hand, he was thinking that this work was very important in another respect.
Honestly, if only 10,000 troops here could attack the rebels, that alone would be enough to accomplish the purpose.
However, now that the warchief’s authority is unstable in many ways, sending his direct troops and those who support his power on an expedition beyond the Epal Mountains was burdensome in many ways.
This is the reason why the warchief has shown absolute support to the empire, but he himself has been passive about requesting troops.
In that respect, the war against the Dark Horse tribe this time is the warchief’s… Furthermore, he thought of General Neto as a golden opportunity to erase the political burden that the British Empire was carrying.
‘In addition, if the tribe that rebelled this time even joined hands with that rebel, things would be very troublesome. Taking this opportunity to get rid of the dissatisfied elements will be able to get rid of that burden as well.’
While thinking that there are indeed many things at once in this war,
In other words, with the thought that I can solve many things at the same time with this one time.
General Neto must win this war… They were also determined to achieve a very overwhelming victory.

Meanwhile, apart from General Neto, who is approaching this matter so cautiously.
At this moment, General William, a high-ranking general in the Imperial Army and a person who had followed General Neto’s assistant this time, could not hide his excitement.
As a high-ranking general in the Imperial Army, General William was appointed as the “Chief” who led about 10% of them.
At this moment, he was looking forward to meeting the enemies as soon as possible and continuing the battle.
‘The number of enemies is at most 3000. On the other hand, we are a huge army of 10,000. Now that there is no variable like Cromwell, there must be no factor for us to defeat!’
He had always been thirsty for victory because of his precarious position after a series of defeats.
For him, this battle, which he could not lose in many ways, would be a good opportunity to quench his thirst for victory.
‘Nothing has been done since Cromwell’s bastard left. Because of that, there is even talk among the soldiers that we are a bubble that rose to success because of Cromwell. If I don’t take this opportunity to make such nonsensical nonsense go into it… ‘
Of course, it is true that he actually got ahead thanks to Cromwell, but William was passionately ignoring such a cold reality.
at that time.
William, who was leading the army from the front, finally began to see something other than bushes and trees.
“Hey, is that the place where the dark horses live?”
“Yes, sir.”
“Whoops, finally… ”
A sweet prey that will give him a taste of victory.
Looking at it, a deep smile began to wriggle on William’s lips.
Their chief, Morgant, said that he was only strong and had an empty head.
As much as I know that I don’t have the ability or personality to use tricks, there’s no way there’s a variable.
And, it wasn’t just William who had these thoughts.
“I will set up a military camp here. We will attack as soon as the morning dawns tomorrow.”
“Okay, Chief!”
“I will follow your orders, Grand Chief.”
The soldiers stop marching and start building their positions according to the order of the Great Chief Horatu.
Then, looking at Horatu like that, General Neto spoke in a calm voice.
“Are you planning to attack tomorrow?”
“Yes. There is nothing to drag on for a long time. As soon as the fatigue of the soldiers wears off, they will fight right away.”
“Personally, I think it would be better to check the enemy’s movements before that. They are few in number, but the area is surrounded by valleys, so the possibility of an ambush exists… ”
“There is no need for that.”
“? no what is that… ”
Horatu speaks in a determined voice at General Neto’s words.
General Neto expressed his doubts at his words of useless confidence,
To him, Chief Horatu spoke with one voice as if laughing.
“I know the chief, Morgant, well. They will surely try to meet us from the front without any tricks. There is no need to bother checking.”
“But the great chief. Isn’t there such a thing as one in ten? However, it is difficult to take the enemy too lightly… ”
“It is not something to be taken lightly. Chief Neto is saying something he doesn’t know. And the great chief is me. Even if Chief Neto is the younger brother of the Warchief of the Maple Region, he has no right to tell me what to do.”
Chief Horatu speaks with a little annoyance.
As he was not a great chief for nothing, seeing him as quite stubborn like this, General Neto couldn’t help but click his tongue inwardly.
‘When General Bagoin was around, the guy who couldn’t even use side was very excited. I can’t do it anyway, because my role right now is just a maid… ‘
As a general of the empire, his pride was hurt, but as he would only lose money if he tried to argue here, General Neto endured it once and spoke in a calm voice as much as possible.
“… Sigh… If so, let’s do this. By leading the soldiers under my command and visiting the surroundings. Anyway, please don’t stop it.”
“I get it. Do what you like. But obviously nothing will happen. You are just wasting your time.”
“… You’ll know when you see it.”
Chief Horatu who shows arrogance to the end.
To this, General Neto replied in a cold voice,
As it was, he led the troops under his command and began to scout.
*
‘Also… It is not a place where you can safely walk around. There’s not one or two good places to ambush.’
The view of valleys and hills that look rugged even at a glance.
General Neto began to raise his vigilance even more as he looked around the places where there was no reason not to use them if the general had a little thought.
at that time.
“General. Look over there.”
“… yes?”
At the adjutant’s words, General Neto turned his gaze to that direction.
at that time,
In his eyes, the appearance of the Mok tribe in the display in the wide empty lot located at the bottom of the valley…
To be precise, those who seemed to be members of the Dark Horse tribe began to enter.
“… ? No, what are those guys doing now? Could it be that they are really preparing for a head-to-head confrontation over there?”
Doesn’t seem to have any intention of using the surrounding terrain,

Mok tribe soldiers who set up a camp in the clearing leading to the entrance of the village and prepared to fight against the enemy.
I can’t see any traps,
Looking at their appearance, which seemed too obvious to the point of being suspicious, General Neto felt dumbfounded and began to feel that he could understand General Horatu’s words.
‘No… no matter how much it is. Why is this real? Are you really saying that they are mindless people?’
Those who foolishly choose to face off against the good terrain around them.
Although the place where the camp was set up was blocked on all sides, it was not a terrain that was particularly advantageous for defense.
A position that could not be said to be good in many ways to deal with a large army.
Seeing them like this, General Neto admitted that he had done something stupid and turned his head around.
‘I was worried for nothing. I have overestimated the foolish natives. but… I wonder if there’s a guy like Cromwell out there. There’s no way the authors could devise it cunningly.’
With that thought in mind, General Neto concluded that there was nothing to worry about tomorrow’s battle, and began to return to his base.
And.
Watching them go back and forth.
Riding on the back of an angel, she is having a rare experience of hiding in a white cloud for the first time in her life.
Tiekuna, the deputy chief of the Dark Horse tribe,
Feeling goosebumps at this situation where everything fell into place like a pre-prepared flow, he began to swallow his dry saliva.
‘To really come here to check the situation… How can you know all this? That man named Cromwell… The more I look at him, the more mysterious he is.’
