“Yes However, Sir Gayle made an assessment as the on-site cohts”
“He overextended then And as the outco in ambush and entered battle In the ht of ene the black, skull-shaped helh-priority target”
Duke Brans rose from his seat and shouted
“Where are they located?!”
“They are deep within the forest located southeast of our encampments”
“The southeast? Is that not in the direction wethat they have been observing our movements until now from the rear…?”
“Is that how they were able to so accurately grasp our openings? Such an audacious plan…”
The commanders exclai extensive reconnaissance in order to find the ene with recon in a ion – with the Hildess Republic as their opponent – was not an easy task
Whenever a recon unit was dispatched, less than half the unit would return alive Nevertheless, they shouldered the sacrifices and pushed ahead with their scouting to find the enemy’s camp no matter the cost
… and now, it was clear that it was all in vain
After their very first encounter, the enemy had scattered towards the direction from which the Strabus army had advanced from In other words, they had set up in the rear and were carrying out their guerilla operations froly bold and elaborate plan Subsequently, no recon unit they operated could find them
Noever…
“Ready the arhts and other men who are with me at present, follow my lead”
Now that they had discovered the eneed attack
As Duke Brans made haste, one of the commanders alarerous We have no more than 3,000 nificant risk in attacking the enemy’s main site with a force of this size”
But the Duke did not listen
“3000 h Besides, the eneuerilla war”
“That may be so, but…”
“If the bastards relocate their caain as we speak, we are finished Move it!”
Duke Brans shoved his commander to the side with a bellow and exited the tent
Until now, he had calmly followed his commanders’ opinions as there was no clear course of action However, he now intended to wage this war his ith the enehts, withinto action, personally leading the troops

In fact, there had been occasions where the lowliest of soldiers would kill such a target and receive a noble title One of the distinct features of Strabus Kingdouished services regardless of one’s rank or status The only exception were foreigners, such as Milton who had been stationed on the Western Front
Only, while such opportunities to advance in society instilled courage in the soldiers, it also had the effect of disorganizing their forue soldiers sensed a chance at glory and dashed out, nullifying their strength in nufried, and were one-sidedly cut down by the Black Skulls that were protecting his position
‘None can do’
Quickly discerning the present situation, Duke Brans thundered as he personally galloped forward
“Pull the troops back! They distract hts heard the Duke’s voice, their ed forth
“His Grace has arrived!”
“AllDuke Brans’ cohts looked out for their soldiers without being told to do so
In more normal times, the Duke was an ordinary man as not particularly considerate but not harsh either
However, whenever he flipped the switch and entered battle mode, he metamorphized into a completely different alloped forith a wild roar
Dududududu…
No one lingered around his path as he swung his sword all over the place His thunderous charge, with no room to discriminate between friend or foe, could not even be stopped by the resilient Black Skulls
“Kuh…”
The defensive lines of the Black Skulls collapsed as they were unable to withstand his attack
“Follow the Duke!”
“Exterreatest reason that Masters were so valued on the battlefield
No ordinary soldier could i havoc in combat Of course, even a Master could be felled if there was the ti
However, this would only work if the enemy solely consisted of one Master Who would stand still and watch as an enes of the Republic!”
“We will slaughter you all!”
With wrathful vengeance, the Strabus Kingdoedly collided with the ene, they could not possibly stop their enemy’s offensive after their formation had collapsed

Eventually, Siegfried issued his order of withdrawal His special forces unit escorted hi back at once
“Pursue theet away!”
Of course, Duke Brans had no intentions of allowing theo scot-free
However, the eneanized Even as they scattered in all sorts of directions, the promptness and smoothness hich they retreated was alroups beforehand It seee

Not only that, but the expedition troops were devastated and the Republicans broke through the Northern Front to trahtfully designated by the Strabus Kingdoet, and this hen he was yet to fully bloom his reputation in the Republic
Then how much of a threat would he become if he were to assume the reins of real power?

At that moment, Duke Brans did consider that this could be the ene him in
However, he believed that he could break through any trap they could have set and continued to spur his horse forth
“Sir Siegfried, the enefried listened to his subordinate’s report even as he sped his horse
“Is Duke Brans with them?”
