Fly the Flag of Fire!

"We are sending out an army with the princess as our ally! It is... led by the next king... to the righteous south... to the honorable Count's realm... and there can be no right for you to trample upon my dreams or wreak havoc unharmed! It's hard! It's hard! I never drink mud! Never, I will not fall on my knees miserably!

Uncle Kalisalmi, who cried out, disappeared beyond the wall, and the night passed.

Yousia Peterius had felt it for a long time. Ahead of seeing it, the main gate of the Kalisalmi territorial capital is closed so that it rejects everything. The Six Thousand Peterius Army are facing it with their siege weapons lined up in plain sight.

We're only a few minutes away from carving.

When the sun reaches south in this winter sky, the Siege Castle battle begins. From the main entrance to the east gate, six thousand of Jousia and six thousand of Peterius's army, and from the northwest gate, four thousand of Uliharsila's army, led by Lucas Uliharsila, and from the southwest gate, three thousand of Marco Hahato's cavalry of fire and a thousand of Peterius's infantry battalions, will each exert the power of a siege weapon.

Yousia thinks. Perhaps it won't take long until the evening.

They're in front of the gate in the sense of intimidation, but if they were, they could break down any wall and break into town. But no matter where I attack from, it doesn't seem very different.

This territorial capital is far less defensive than that of Peterius territory. The alarm of the position of the South is expressed in its form as it is.

There are many good looking spires, but they don't even look like they serve as a defensive facility. If you go inside, there's also a boulevard to Territorial Castle. To observe from the reaction of soldiers on the wall, or perhaps even lack the readiness to be poked with a siege weapon.

Towards such a territorial capital, Dragon General Marco Hahato recommended surrender with a one-day and overnight deadline. It was a concise, fragile piece of forgiveness.

"Do not allow any resistance, any petition to be opened, for the crime of violating an agreement under the Kingdom of Asuria's royalty. Do not surrender completely after disarming by noon tomorrow. Otherwise, attack and destroy. Expect wise judgment and quick answers."

How far are you going to go...... Yousia was trying so hard to get General Ryu's intentions.

If you caged and forcibly resisted, the responsibility for the tragedy after the fall falls rests with the person who decided to resist. Only the right to the deprivation of life is entrusted to the attacking side. That is the reason for the battlefield in siege warfare. That's how Yousia's father died. The responsibility for the life of 10,000 generals lies heavily on the shoulders of the Peterius family.

Yousia thinks. I wonder if Uncle Kalisalmi understands the logic.

It is easy to drop this territorial capital. Uncle Kalisalmi can no longer escape. But young heroes do not allow the honor to descend. Nor does the church, which is responsible for intermediation in these times, function. Young heroes do not recognize the authority of the Church as if it were. There's nothing more we can do.

Quietly, but harshly, the indistinguishable power of both the martial arts and the tyranny seems to encompass the Kalisalmi territorial capital. That makes me nervous about Yousia. The passion attached to the bottom of my belly adds to my presence. I have a self who wants to forget that the enemy is a native, and I also want to keep it under control.

Oh... the horror of taking military power.

Together it makes me want to move my army with anger and hatred.

Yousia exhaled heavily. Although it is forbidden to make predictions, I think that they are in a dominant situation. That's the way it is. I felt sorry for myself when I thought of those two generals, who were eighteen together.

If a person has a vessel, the two young men are both large vessels. I am not mad, I am not frightened, I feel free to ride a rough horse called a military right. In exchange for that, I feel like I can't. A life called Count outweighs his own. I figured that out.

And the discovery was also liberation.

Thank God I can't live like my father. But this role is not quittable. Then let's make an effort. Let us refine ourselves with courage, in fear of genius, so that we can live a little less ugly and behave a little like it. If you think so, you can take the next step with a fresh breeze through your chest.

I saw the East Gate. Worried about his presence, which was heavily closed.

I wanted to talk to Uncle Kalisalmi. The situation is different: together they lost their father in the war against the Empire, and at the same time they inherited the countenance. I'm close to my age.

We became hostile to the North and the South because of differences in what we believe in, but if that were possible, I would like to cross a drink and talk to each other. Maybe it'll just be a fight, but that's fine. It's 10,000 times more meaningful than Cage Castle's offense.

The horseback riding of the decree rushed in was the fold I had thought of that.

"That the southwest gate is open!? Does that... mean Uncle Kalisalmi wanted to meet with General Ryu?

"has cleansed the streets to welcome His Excellency General Ryu"

Whether to rejoice in the report or jeopardize it, Yousia did not know. The carving limit is close. If we are to surrender unconditionally here, all gates should be opened at the same time. It was a situation I didn't envisage.

"His Excellency General Ryu entered the capital with all the troops he led, having the infantry battalion monitor the gates, and himself proceeded with the cavalry to near the territorial castle. The meeting is scheduled to take place in a garden close to Territorial Castle."

It was an inexplicable meeting given the content of the surrender recommendation. Was that wording merely intimidation and had some room for negotiation?

There was a blur in Yoosia's brain in the blink of an eye. He is a surrendered soldier brought in by Lucas Ulyhalsilla. Seeking the best results you can hope for… isn't that thought putting young heroes at risk?

"I have the honour to convey to you the orders of His Excellency General Ryu. The Uliharsilla and Peterius armies were kept on standby and alert at the gate."

"... I understand. I did. My army will wait here."

The order ran away. A similar order will run to Lucas in the northwest. Yoosia wanted his opinion.

Because there should be no chest noise.

Now beyond that gate and the wall is General Ryu with three thousand horsemen. In contrast, the Kalisalmi army exists at five thousand. Besides, it's downtown. It is not an environment in which light cavalry mobility can be fully demonstrated.

Isn't it a trap?

Uncle Kalisalmi was getting emotional. He was angry at his situation as disgusted. Now that we're stuck in the chase, would you be harmful to the heroic Dragon General by letting yourself be self-inflicted?

In fact, it becomes an extremely effective blow to the north. Because the substantial commander-in-chief in the north is young him.

See the sky. View the gate. See the Kalisalmi soldiers walking on the wall. Being very unable to sit down, Yousia walked around in rows throughout the formation. The agony had come and the course of time had been disrupted.

And the sun rises. Hours, come and go.

"My lord! Daimon will open!

Faster than that report came, Yousia was staring at the sight. Exactly when the sun went south, Dongdaemun solved its stubbornness. The soldiers are bluffing, but Yousia was also leaking meaningless words out of her mouth.

That's it. Now we can no longer use siege weapons against the countrymen. We can no longer scratch the people with swordspears.

Trying to order the army to move forward, but Yousia opened her eyes. It's a flag. There's no sign of Kalisalmi's flag being unloaded on either side of the main gate or on the spire. That can't be a courtesy of surrender.

Is it because it's a civil unrest? No, and it's weird.

Can this also be taken as being drawn to city warfare?

Look at the end of the gate. Again. The soldiers of the Kalisalmi Army are not disarmed or anything like that. Line up, hold back on both sides of the boulevard... yes, hold back in line.

How can that be? Yousia remembered further confusion. If city warfare is what you want, you should be able to lay down your soldiers and limit the movement of this one with a fence, but there are no signs of such craftsmanship. I see tension. But neat.

"Orders from His Excellency General Ryu! Peterius, keep moving. Expand along the boulevard and stand by!

Yousia executed the instructions without being able to grasp the situation. I'm terribly concerned about where General Ryu is right now. The number of Kalisalmi troops is small for welcoming six thousand soldiers, and even if it is a trap, it is only naive. Is it surrender?

I was about to issue a decree to the Uliharsila army, and the sound of a sharp bow chirp sounded. Nervous enough to think that time had spilled. It's the gate. A Kalisarumi leader lined up on the wall beside the gate fired a bow. Wave up your hand to order an interception... but Yoosia never waved it down.

The arrow seemed to have been released to the outside of the gate.

According to the rear view, a Kalisalmi soldier was fired outside in exchange for the entry of Peterius's army into the capital. Will we fight each other? The soldier, still breathing, is drawn toward the Castle. The situation only adds to the puzzle.

A call was made shortly after, and Yousia was to head out with a dozen horsemen of escorts to the gardens near the Territorial Castle. It is also a journey in the midst of not knowing if this is now an enemy land or not. I almost got drunk with the lack of realism that was like going through my daydreams.

"We've moved the situation a lot to get better results. I apologize for making you anxious."

In a curtain stretched out in the garden, the young hero said with a smile. There was also Lucas, but with tea sweets bursting and cheeky and generous, Yoosia decided to put them outside her eyes, without anything.

Too brazen to look stupid too...... or am I stupid? The sigh leaked.

"I could have tied Uncle Kalisarumi down once and for all, but it was easy, so I decided to put more effort into it."

"What does the hassle...... have to do with the fact that Uncle Kalisalmi has not surrendered at this stage?

"Yes. I made one bet with him. If I win, the North will be able to rule civil unrest in a beautiful way. If he loses, he escapes. That would be a triumph for civil unrest, but it would leave you a little bit of trouble."

That said, General Ryu speaks even more absurdly and drains Yosia's temper.

"We will surround the Territorial Castle in the Territorial City while awaiting the arrival of the Eteramaki Army. Heavy battles are expected. Be careful not to take the blade from the shadows."

hard work, it was time to recognise the meaning of the word.

patience, it was time to reaffirm the meaning of the word.

Then how many sighs did Yousia exhale between sundown, how many stomach aches she felt and held her abdomen down, and how many headaches she felt and held her head. The daydreams were much demonic and harsh on realistic humans.

The 15,000 Yousia and others who entered the inner realm continued to monitor the trend of Uncle Kalisalmi caged with his main force in the realm castle while alerting the Kalisalmi soldiers scattered throughout the city.

Is this a place of death? Or is it fabric?

It is the figure of the people that is under martial law and cannot even be seen, but undoubtedly in a peaceful everyday landscape, I perceive the sunset of the day in the length of my shadow as I confront each other with vigilance with my fellow soldiers who may not be enemies or allies.

Attack clearance is not down. Even though I didn't like the word "one arrow and two deaths", I got a flicker in Yoosia's brain.

General Ryu is creating this situation and trying to use it for something. You can't break that. If it collapses, there will probably only be a miserable city war. I do not accept that the Peterius Army will be the starting point. That's all Yoosia can't forgive.

In an attempt to ascertain visually the length to dusk, he discovered that the flag of the gate was being lowered to the west. Looking back, the East Gate flag is also down. If you have gained momentum and seen the territorial castle, the Kalisalmi flag is flying there unchanged, and you cannot find a form of surrender.

Is this magic...... Yousia illusioned with her glare. I was deluded.

Without a single arrow, a swinging sword, the attack proceeds to follow Yossia and the others. I skipped asking when I would have attacked. Doesn't this make it as if the Peterius army has broken through the Daimon with strange courage?

Yeah, that's why this is normal.

The sound of the destruction of the house is echoing over there in the territorial capital. Soil smoke is rising. The sound of breaking down the routine sounds ruthlessly, and what may be neither everyday rust nor mold rides the breeze.

Yoosia and the others are still doing nothing. It's the Kalisalmi Army. They're destroying their town.

I don't hear any screams. If it is also in this wonder, Yoosia is oddly convinced. Not to say a nightmare. If you think about conceiving hatred against the countryman, putting up a spear, and attacking the castle while trampling the people, you can call this a good dream. I was also used to the occasional sound of bowshots on the wall.

Is the Kalisalmi army eroding itself... confused by the magic of where General Ryu expressed himself?

And the reality of the battlefield came with the fury of horseshoes.

Thousands of light cavalry horsemen who were patrolling around the territorial capital rushed into the East Gate like crawling bodies. Both the military costume and the horse row were disturbed, and it was immediately seen that the excess was of great importance. Both humans and horses had a streak of intense breath, and the face of the battalion captain who appeared in the report was drawn to fear. It is a blood eye.

"And it's an enemy attack! There are more armies looming than the southern realm! As it is............!!

The Eteramaki Army.

"Yes! But that's not all......!

Sipping and gasping, the captain reported.

"Keimaru Knights, we have confirmed the military flag of the Cold Moon Cavalry! Each has an approximate strength of 3,000!

"Princess Margareta... you finally showed up. Today, this territorial capital seems to gain importance everywhere as a central point of civil unrest."

Yousia was calmly analyzing the war situation. Uncle Kalisalmi is still alive in the Castle of the Realm, but it was therefore thought that the battle would begin with negotiations.

In other words, hostages.

More than 15,000 troops in the north are in the territorial capital, the enemy will not be able to break into reckless confusion either. Perhaps a temporary truce will be negotiated to escort Uncle Kalisalmi out of the territorial capital.

General Ryu lost the bet. Still, it is a sufficient victory. Occupy the capital without revealing the tragedy of the siege. It will take some time for the subsequent domination of Kalisalmi territory, but the victory of the North will not waver any longer.

Who will be replacing the constant captain in his breath? Trying to make him run the message to General Ryu. But Yousia was forced into the desperate shape of the battalion captain. The report still went on.

"We've also confirmed a number of Southern Yuki-Like Troops! Unlike before, … on a personal note, only mercenaries were organized! And in the first place, the total number of Eteramaki troops is… roughly twelve thousand!!

"Yikes... twelve thousand!? Stupid!!

Yousia screamed. It was an unlikely number.

Although the Eteramaki leadership was not damaged in the Bow Zhang Hara match, it should have been damaged by the northern offensive, which emits its edge south of the large convoy. No matter how little you estimate, two to three thousand will be reduced in strength. That's what counts here and now, twelve thousand. It exceeds time and good numbers and good Yoosia predictions.

"No way...... the retreat to self-government is a sham, rather you have even put in the troops that were kept warm in your own territory!?

Did you use it as a pseudo to make a move? If you noticed, Yousia had her face stretched just like the captain. My cheeks are cramped. My heart beats faster and my breath gets rough.

There's going to be a tough war.

Twelve thousand Eteramaki Army, three thousand Keimaru Knights, three thousand Cold Moon Cavalry Regiments, plus uncertain forces for both the Brave and the Mercenary... enemy forces approaching the Kalisalmi Territorial Capital that will not go down twenty thousand. That's highly skilled. I know it's expensive.

"Battalion captain, be on your way. We must hurry under General Ryu!

Yousia ran.

It seemed like a torrent when the magic broke out and moved, and Yousia couldn't help but run.
