<hr>
Long tables were placed adjacent to the walls Sitting in front of those tables were dozens of anised docu stacked in real-tilance but if one was to focus even a little, they would tell that it was extre their pens each held a crystal ball To those crystal objects that glistened nonstop, the ht next to it and murmured in a soft voice endlessly
“Let ht in the northern area of the Oheil village in Rentria District, the Northern Aridoiment The Apple Troop annihilated the Refen Troop with 347 enemy soldiers captured From the Apple Troop’s side, 139 have been lost in battle, 399 soldiers injured and 17 …”
“Luke Troop fell back from the battlefront and retreated to the south…”
“Frontal assault is not allowed I repeat, a frontal assault is not allowed For now, focus on a defensive battle…”
“Athe 2nd Western Army’s reconstruction has departed Please confirist’s seal is there before…”
They all seemed busy and it was then
“Huu”
One of the o of the pen that had beenbusily The man who had the name ‘Harley’ written on the left chest side of the red uniform carefully placed the crystal ball in his hand onto the table
Flicker
The crystal ball shone for a bit before returning to its nor that did Harley leave the seat while carrying the stack of documents filled ords The destination his feet led hie table located in the middle On that table which had a lot oing over each docu hands
Towards that youth, Harley handed the new pile of docuist, Ian Phillips These are the reports we got fro over the docuist of the A the docuht smile
“Thanks for the hard work”
“No, it’s nothing It’s our job but…”
Harley glanced at the surroundings and slurred the end of his words Seeing that, Ian gave a nod with an expression saying that it was okay
“Please, don’t hold back”
Hearing that gentle voice, Harley seee as he continued in a soft, secretive tone
“Ever since a few days ago, there is this thing that worries ht frohile concentrating on Harley’s story Harley quickly gave a nod
“Co suicide”
“Suicide?”
Ian tilted his head with a slight surprise Since the entire kingdo even he hadn’t known about Besides, it was a sad thing but suicide in times like this was not that rare either
‘But if it’s to the level that the Head Official of the Intelligence Depart’
Ian collected his breath
“Did you discover any strange trend?”
Harley slowly nodded in response
“Although I’m not sure if it’s a trend at this point, rants that recentlyout a low ht now, it was a period with endless war and strife, soperiod It was possible that certain portions of the general population found it hard to survive through these horrendous, chaotic times and took their own lives
However, if that happened to a specific group of people or at a specific location, it definitely required a careful investigation Staring directly at Harley, Ian gave a new coate everything about the nu else related to that of the irants that committed suicide and create a report on it I will personally read over it”
“Yes sir”
With a tense expression and voice, Harley responded before quickly returning to his seat as his hand grabbed the crystal ball again After staring at that for a while, Ian entered deep contemplation on the unexpected report
‘Suicides of the irants…’
It felt rather ominous but he wasn’t uneasy or restless He believed in his people Every head official of the Intelligence departht personally by hi abilities without fail and ,
‘We have His Majesty’
There was Roan Lancephil, as sturdier and trustworthy than anyone else in the world With a smile, Ian pulled a document from the stack His shoulders widened, chin was raised and his heart palpitated rapidly
He was full of confidence, all thanks to Roan
The busiest and the erous of the provincial ar next to the Grain Mountain Range, they had to fight nue monsters even in times outside of war
Due to that, it was also a very iic location If the Western Army collapsed, the aftereffects dom in one sweep
This ned to his close, close subordinate, Harrison Inpec Harrison as considered the greatest archer of the continent let alone the kingdoations and defended the area as the Commander of the Western Army
However, when the holy letter fell on the entire continent and a full-scale invasion began with the Byron Kingdom in the lead, the Western Army was restructured to two armies as they each supported the Northern and the Southern ar it, the Western area of the Auarding it After Roan and Ian shared a debate, they decided to let one of the Special Corps, Grain Regiment take control over the empty area
A portion of the nobles were in doubt whether one Special Corps would be enough but as time passed, they discovered that it was a needless worry The Leader of the Grain Regiated the monsters like before and defended the borders without issue
However, that did notan easy tido, fierce battle
“da out from?”
Boden, the captain of the Boden Troop under the Grain Regiment let out profanities
‘These days, the etic than ever’
Plus, their actions were a lot different compared to the past Usually, they e to the outer regions of the grasslands to plunder the villages and castles But now, they ed the forests and caves
‘As if…’
Boden clenched his teeth
‘They’re looking for so’
Of course, that was just his personal assulanced across the battlefield Despite being inside the forest, the battlefield ider and flatter than he thought and if not for the old, tall trees, it would not even have appeared like a forest
‘damn, if not for the altar searches, ouldn’t have entered the middle of the mountains…’
In the past, the monsters poured out onto the lands hu the location ht! Kill!”
Placing hi that, the Taee!”
“Attack!”
Their deafening roars shook the battlefield
“Waaaaah!”
Soon after that were the bellows of the soldiers With their eyes wide open, they charged into the monsters as they knew that if these monsters survived and escaped, the innocent citizens would be sacrificed and lose their lives
‘My child was taken by these guys as well!’
‘These filthy evil creatures!’
‘The sworn ene their teeth, the soldiers gripped hard onto their weapons
Chang! Chachang! Chang!
Sparks flew along with the sound of clashi+ng steel
Slash!+ Stab!
Gruesome noises left as lile Although thenumbers in comparison, the soldiers of the Boden Troop did not falter or run
‘We will kill these bastards and save the Middle World!’
‘I will protect this world!’
‘For our fahter!’
‘Son! Your father will never run!’
The soldiers had a burning passion of duty The desires of the ones who had things to protect were fiercer and hotter than any flames
“Chieeeek! Stupid humans!”
“Die! Die!”
Grain Orcs ere at least twice larger than norhed They were stronger than nor the Boden Troop
“Kekeke! Stupid hu into the forests with their own feet?”
“They want to die probably, kekekeke”
With their sharp canine teeth flashi+ng, the orcs swung their clubs without rest
Sla, either a head of a soldier would be crushed or their armours would be dented
“damn! There’s really no end to it!”
Unable to hold himself back, Boden let out profanities After that, he raised his sword high up once again and shouted
“Attack! Hold a little longer! Our reinforce that, several orcs broke into rounds of strange laughter
“Kuhehehehe! Reinforcements?”
“You’re not the only ones with reinforcements”
Confidence oozed out from their voice and expression
‘These bastards Do they have hidden forces or so their words, Boden had a chill running down his spine but consciously he collected his breath and surfaced a nonchalant expression He was a captain, a cohting ferociously
“Do not lose strength!”
Boden’s voice resonated across the forest
“Waaaahh!”
The soldiers once again fought back with vigour as the battle gradually became more intense However,
“Kuhuk!”
“Krrk D, damn…”
“Kuk!”
As ti their tean to fall They were powerless before the overwhelth and number
“Kuhehehe! Die! Die!”
With their h, the Grain Orcs floundered inaway one orc that ran around crazily, Boden clenched his teeth
‘Are the reinforcements not here yet?!’
His eyebroitched
“Uak!”
“Kuk!”
He could hear the cries of his soldiers fro across the state the battlefield was in, Boden clenched his hands into fists
“daht when he was about to give the order to retreat,
Boooooooo!
Sounds of warhorns resonated as the bushes and shrubs in the north rustled
Screeeeech!
At the sah the bushes A sharp noise followed behind as they mercilessly stabbed into the monsters
“Kueek!”
“Kuek!”
Grain orcs as well as otherthe Boden Troop back became echidnas from the sudden downpour of arrows and fell
“Ah…”
Boden let out a gentle sigh as his legs tre-awaited reinforcements had arrived
“Save the Boden Troop!”
“Massacre the monsters!”
Soon, the shrubs were divided into two as a group with a flag appeared from within
[Suated more towards the north compared to the Boden Troop
“Uhahaha! Boden! Don’t tellappeared a e build He was the captain of the Suood friends with Boden
“da has it been since I sent the reinforce complaints, Boden placed his arms on his knees to support his were filled with strength already
Surin and took out a small crystal ball from his waist It was the saence tea but the size was a lot sht crack
