The end of our war council saw the first glimmer of dawn
Dashi+ng bodies were full of the Swabian ca for breakfast, horses, etc
I patrolled in our base wearing newly forged black steel ar sideways The geographic difference hasin Portaria flatland damp and chill
I breathed deeply then looked toward the shrine I was very distant fro It was a great Te haze enveloped the shrine's bottohty and solitary
By the time the sun has reached the top of the shrine, all troops fronment
Fischer dressed in a suit of pure white formal robe with silver lace as decorations, whichin a circle surrounded by my IGTs
Tennessee and Webster stood by his side as well I have insisted onhim wear the Gaia's Shell under his well-ironed dress
At a word oftoward the shrine
”Grandpa,” I asked Martin Luther who rode with me, ”You ”
”Not all that” Martin Luther replied, ”To be accurate, planting trees was a personal favor froood”
”Ihed about it, ”Why isn't he looking for trouble these days?”
”I've got to adht” Martin Luther said thoughtfully, ”There could be only one explanation for hiives him a headache”
”How could you know?”
”During the last Protoss/Asmodian war, our Minister had been fully occupied” Martin Luther said, ”In fact, within the Protoss Allied Forces, all key positions were taken by Tened bureaucrats Generals or lieutenants like us ran the army; we didn't have voices on critical affairs”
”Was the war a brutal one?”
”You've never seen!” Grandpa Luther said with a bitter smile, ”The war is not the kind of battle between two landlords or empires alike All eathered on a several hundredProtoss/Asmodian line The variety of different army branches were in the sky, on the land Countless soldiers which you've never seen or na you Weepy souls could be found on every inch of land, even every seed of sand
”Are there wins and loses?”
”Sometimes there were, at times there weren't because the final result was sinificantly undermined and retreat until years after In the Minister's words: The great victory awaits for the next war Our great warriors have to carry on What nonsense!”
”How many years are between each war?” I chuckled at Martin Luther's co?”
”Twenty years, a time for exactly everyone are relivied from the last war” Martin Luther said, ”After twenty years, food ell accuuys like us will lahly a bit more than a year!”
”No way!” I was not content, ”How could I deal with that?”
”I can't say anything yet If your title changes recently, thatto the battlefield” Grandpa Luther said, ”If, if the Minister wants you to coet out of it!”
”WHy is that?”
”Arets on the field first and leaves the last Usually, after the war, it's lucky to have one in ten slave soldiers to live”
”But we don't have slaves in Swabia?”
”We don't, but other countries have! The Protoss Allies Army consists of forces deployed from all the subordinate nations Protoss Lords will appoint a commander of each force” Martin Luther said, ”Never has it ever a slave army chief survived a war! My best friend died this way…”
My hand reached my neck, and the vein under it pumped
”Viceroy!” Moya approached ate”
I eyed about and found the three arate of that shrine
”Grandpa, I'll leave here to you” I said, ”I need to check it out!”
I called off any guards and came alone to meet the other two commanders for the war council
The Rivalzian co under his exquisite silver armor
Then I met the Portia commander for the first tiolden enchanted armor traced by a suit of a scarlet cape, which came out not bad
Compared to which, my dark and swarthy outfit seemed a bit petty
”Is it Cohen Kheda? I'm General Tyrant Pauley” The bearded man said, ”Your side of army knohat's about to happen?”
”Positive” I nodded, ”I'm aware of it seriousness”
”So then, with all due respect” The beard went above his head, ”Does your king show any concern for His Highness Fischer, his son? Why did he send a civil guy to co a civil, look at yourknife Please be serious If you want a black steel ar money! Drop that lousy fake one”
Thus I thought, ”Are my men very lousy?Is my armor not made of black steel?” Honestly, I didn't expect he talked like that during the first , which made me flat-footed
Since he talked like that, what else can I say? Arguing with a fool like him will only lower my taste and style
”Shut up!” I took off the heled it on the saddle head, then said with one eye on hi? I'll sue you in the temple, you dare me!”
”Seriously! We're out of ti for the first ti, ”We have 3,500 ion No1”
Though I did not know ion No1 was their pride Worthy of the name 'best'
What surprised me more was that this commander's female voice I could not help but ask Perhaps she was not in a good ry
”What's wrong with a woret thinking any less of me!”
My arh to block her attack, which left no hard feelings onyou learned when any female beat you up
”Ugh, ouch!” I helped ive you if you show me your face…”
”Lech!” Her voice ca down!”
”My troops are heavy cavalries!” Tyrant Pauley unscrolled a ion
I did not have too h I assumed they were no bad soldiers
”That's the dungeon's only exit, here!” Tyrant Pauley said, ”Who's guarding the middle?”
”Yours, of course” I said, ”My troops are light cavalries, and I'm a civil…”
”Coward, okay!” Tyrant Pauley thundered, ”My uard the ht!”
The feazed on the map then pointed on the left She left so forth
”I'll take the right” I pulled on !”
