7 – start raid
“Whoa… ”
The British Empire’s stronghold covered in darkness.
Soldier Muraka, whose duty is to patrol the outskirts and guard the area, let out a deep sigh filled with boredom and annoyance.
“I really… All in all, to stand guard on a day like today. It is distasteful that we, the warriors of the great Mok, are entrusted with such a task.”
“So it is. It’s really lamentable that the energy that should be used for tomorrow’s war should be wasted like this.”

Muraka and his companions are not from the British Empire, but from the indigenous people of this colony.
Brown-skinned and muscular, they are commanded by the British Empire to participate in ‘glorious battles’,
Following the instructions of the warchief who agreed to this, he participated in the battle along with other tribe members.
However, the situation they were facing was far from the battle they expected.
The Imperial Army is planning an attack as soon as dawn rises tomorrow morning.
However, as glorious warriors at this moment, their duty was not to brandish their weapons in the vanguard against the enemy, but to stand guard all night like watchdogs, and then take a break during the morning of tomorrow’s battle.
Of course, even in such a state, you can go to the battlefield if you want, but it is an obvious fact that if you move in such a weak body condition, the result will only be a helpless dog death.
At that time, Muraka and other Mok warriors were expressing their dissatisfaction.
Ron, an officer from the mainland of the Empire who is also on guard duty, told them with a light smile.
“To be honest, isn’t it also an important task to prevent enemy raids? Besides, there is no guarantee that the battle will end in one day anyway, so if you put it in later in this way, you will be able to make a bigger contribution against the tired enemy. One year old.”
“Um… what… Is that too?”
“I heard… There seems to be some truth in what Chief Lorne said. It’s easier to hunt a tired animal.”
That’s how Murakawa and his colleagues show a more relaxed attitude at the words of Ron, a junior officer in the Imperial Army.
Seeing them like this, Ron let out a small sigh of relief and began to feel frustrated inside.
‘anyway… In terms of fighting power, the elite are right, but after all, the barbarians can’t help it… I only have pure fights in my head.’
The Mok tribe’s native warrior unit, which accounts for about 2000 of the 5000 imperial army currently stationed here.
The natives of this colony, brown-skinned and black-haired, fought as friendly forces in this war by order of the Empire.
As they are the elites selected from their own tribe, their combat power is by no means inferior to that of the elites from the empire.
At the same time, as a native of this place, it was an essential force for the Imperial Army in many ways, as it was bright in geography and skillfully coped with climate change.
However, apart from this fact, the officers of the Imperial Army who were managing them, including Ron, were having quite a difficult time controlling them.
Although they certainly have excellent combat skills, this excessive aggression possessed by them often drove the situation out of control,
In addition, as it was not for nothing to hear the barbarian’s voice, there were often cases of accidents big and small while handling work in an extreme way.
Although necessary in many ways like this, the Mok tribe warriors also have clear disadvantages.
In order to work with these people, there were many things that I had to pay close attention to in many ways, just like before.
In response, Ron felt a deep fatigue, but he was hoping that today’s alert duty would be over as soon as possible.
After the mission is over, go back to the post, sleep as if you were dead, and wake up with the hope that the battle will be over.
at that time…
“yes?”
“!… Big… ”
The next moment, Murakawa and his friends suddenly stop talking at the strange presence.
Seeing their appearances starting to change quite seriously, rather than the negligent state from before, Ron asked cautiously, feeling a slight sense of incongruity along with doubts.
“? Why… Why?”
“… Chief Ron. There is something there.”
“It is not a beast. This… It is a human sign.”
“what?”
Ron’s face hardened at Muraka’s words.
Although he didn’t feel anything in particular at this moment, Muraka’s words were trustworthy.

Morc warriors, naturally developed animal-like instincts, easily surpass those of low-level wizards.
In the first place, there was a reason to accompany those who expressed their dissatisfaction to the guard duty.
“What is the approximate number?”
“I don’t know that far. However, judging from the sound of the current on the ground, it seems that there are not that few.”
“It’s in the forest, so I can’t tell exactly, but at least dozens… No, maybe hundreds.”
“… I mean… ”
At Muraka’s words, Ron quickly began to grasp roughly how things were going.
Hundreds of soldiers moving stealthily at this time.
Reportedly, there were no friendly troops joining us during the day.
Then, at this moment, those things meant only one thing.
“Is it a night raid… I don’t know if they’re from the citadel or if they’re new enemies… ”
“What should I do, Chief Lorne? This Muraka. If you give the order, I will take the heads of my enemies right now and present them to the chief.”

Muraka speaks with great excitement as if the blood of a warrior is boiling.
However, about this, Ron shook his head slowly and told him.
“No, first, report to the upper level. And… You guys should go back to the camp right now and assemble the soldiers. If the number of enemies is in the hundreds, this side needs to respond accordingly.”
“Chit… i get it. chief.”
Like that, Murakawa and his friends act according to the order to ‘prepare for attack’ while showing some dissatisfaction.
Seeing them like this, Ron let out a sigh of relief and hurriedly headed for his immediate superior.
‘Looking at that atmosphere… If I’m a little late, I’ll run into the woods on my own. I have to finish my report and come back as soon as possible…’

“what? attack?”
“Yes! It is said that the movement of enemies has been detected in the forest to the north.”
General Neto, who had just woken up from bed with Clara at the words of the reporting officer,
At this moment, rather than a sense of surprise or danger, emotions of annoyance and ridicule began to bloom on his face.
“Rebels, did they decide to die? Even if you are crouching in the castle, where are you playing jokes that are not enough… ”
“That’s right. I can’t imagine attacking this place where the Morks are guarding. They don’t seem to know that no matter how secretly they try to surprise them, they are futile.”
A mok who can easily detect movement within a radius of 1km even in the dark.
Through this ability, which is not magical and only possessed by Mork warriors, the Imperial Army has been able to cope with night raids without much difficulty so far, and it was thought that this would be the same this time as well.
“Okay, how was our response to that?”
“Yes, originally, the unit in charge of the reconnaissance mission was going to respond, but after General Leah Richard stopped it, it immediately started moving with about 700 soldiers under his command. As the situation is the situation, I left a word of apology for proceeding in the form of an after-action report.”
“That guy, Richard? hahahaha i really… He must have been on edge for quite some time to even carry out an after-action report on an incident like this and lead all the troops under his command.”
“The day is on edge… What does that mean?”
Clara’s question full of doubts.
Regarding this, General Neto spoke in a light voice, stroking her hair with his hand, as if to show off his relationship with her, who no longer needed to notice.
“Actually, that bitch made a fuss a while ago. Cromwell surrendered to the enemy, so he said he should prepare or something? From what I can see, he must have been overreacting like that, thinking that this was Cromwell’s doing.”
“Cromwell… this time?”
At General Neto’s words, Clara began to frown slightly, feeling unusual.
Although not as much as Leia Richards, who had been aide to Cromwell for a long time, she also knew some of the strength of Cromwell’s man.
If this was his plot, it was certainly not something to be taken lightly.
However, General Neto, who was next to her, reassured Clara and said while pulling her shoulders strongly.
“Ha ha, but it can’t be. In the first place, a power difference of this size is not a situation that can be overturned just because one Cromwell is involved, and above all, there is no way that those rebels will believe Cromwell’s words straight away.”
“That… Is that right? under… but. That’s right, General.”
“You don’t have to worry about anything. All we have left is to wait for bitch Richard to sort things out. If you really bring Cromwell along, you can just cut his throat right away.”
“Yes. Of course… I should.”
“Okay then, let’s enjoy the sudden interruption. I need to train my back before tomorrow’s battle… . What are you doing? When you’re done watching, let’s go.”
“ah… Yes. Okay. General.”
Feeling ashamed of General Neto’s words, the subordinate hurries out.
However, unlike General Neto, who starts to focus on his lust again after sorting out the situation.
At this moment, in Clara’s heart, held in his arms, a feeling of uneasiness began to bloom.
‘Why… Certainly the general is right, but… why… Why aren’t you feeling so refreshed?’
*
It was said that the feeling of fear arises as much as one knows.
And at this moment,
in her mind.
In the heart of Leia Richard, who became the new general of the Imperial army,
A colossal fear based on knowledge she knew all too well was wriggling madly.
I was expecting that there would be some unusual plan.
For this reason, she forcibly put aside Ron, the deputy commander under Milliam who wanted to go out, and came here with the entire army she could mobilize.
But,
Despite this risk,
At this moment, the scene in front of his eyes began to make Richard feel deep fear.
“What are you doing? Come on, don’t rush.”
“Kuh… .”
A group of troops lined up in front of him.
It was impossible to grasp the exact size due to the thick darkness and dense forest, but looking at them waiting for them camped on a high hill,
no… To be precise.
Looking at a man emitting a dark green divine power that cuts through the darkness at the center.
She was unable to give the order to attack, seized by a deep fear that came from her instincts.
‘nice… Cromwell… I can’t believe the author from the beginning…’
HAHAHAHAHAHAHABAHAH DIEEEEE
