Chapter 33 - Those who Rampage Below, Those who Watch from Above On the northern side of Fort Bryden… The Second Imperial Army, led by Grett Baal, received the report of a surprise attack. “Y-Your Highness!! We are under attack!!” “W-what!? Did Maxwell move!? Where are they attacking from?” “No, Sire!! It’s our allies! The First Imperial Army!!” “Whaaat!?” The knight’s report left Grett slack-jawed. He did plan to battle the First Imperial Army in the near future, but not before…

Chapter 32 - Demons of Suspicion and Imperial Frenzy “Ghah…!!” “Your Highness!?” The blade of the messenger turned assassin had been intercepted by Lars, using his own upper arm. While he had glaring faults as a commander, he was undoubtedly a first-class warrior. The training he received since childhood from the “Brave General” Bjorc Zagann bore fruit: the imperial prince managed to stop the attack with the least amount of damage. “Get away from our Prince!!” “Ha…h!?” Seeing blood…

Chapter 31 - Unsheathed Blade of Deceit “...and that is all, Young Master.” Oboro, member of the Fangs of Steel — next in line for the head position, in fact — finished his report and I nodded. “I see, good job…time to set the plan into motion, then.” “Acknowledged.” As Oboro disappeared into the darkness, I looked up to the sky. The night sky was mostly covered by clouds, but the moonlight filtered and grew, gradually illuminating Fort Bryden. “The light of hope shines…

Chapter 30 - Sowing Distrust One week had passed since the conflict between the Maxwell army and the imperial forces began. Throughout that period, the empire never stopped attacking. At times from the front, at times with ploys and traps, they tried to take down Fort Bryden in all sorts of ways, but the Maxwell army repelled each attempt. The imperial allied forces won in terms of numbers, but the First Imperial Army was intimidated by the poison and gunpowder, while the Second Imperial Army and Imperial…

CHAPTER 3 - Every Country has its Morons 【POV: Cerros Baal, third prince of the Baal empire】 “Maan, I can’t put up with this shit...” After the conference, little old me went back to his room, like a good boy, and lay on his bed. “My dumb ass brothers and their lame-ass retainers too, they’re all such a pain.” If you want my honest opinion, my two idiot brothers — who both really believe they’re going to be the next emperor — are not fitting to be a ruler at all. First…

Chapter 29 - The Three Guardians 【POV: Dyngir Maxwell*】 *(TL Note: the original usually doesn’t list any POV when the perspective goes back to Dyngir, I added it to avoid any confusion) The first day of war between the Margrave Maxwell forces and the Baal Empire ended with a crushing victory for our Maxwell forces. As the sun set, the imperial forces withdrew into their camp. We setup troops to stand guard and spot any night raids, but today the empire would need to reorganize their troops…

Chapter 28 - Prelude to Downfall “Damn that Maxwell and his despicable dirty tricks!!” In the First Imperial Army’s camp, Lars Baal was beside himself in indignation. In the direction he was facing, the eastern walls of Fort Bryden, the imperial soldiers were being decimated by the Maxwell forces’ counterattack. “Your Highness! We should order the troops to withdraw and reconsider our strategy!” As the attacking imperial forces were being pushed back, one of the knights at Lars’ side hastily…

Chapter 27 - Underhanded Ways of Skillful Warfare Dawn broke on the decisive day. Soldiers started hurrying and bustling in the fort. At the same time, noise gradually rose from the troops that surrounded it. “I suppose it’s time to officially start the battle.” I climbed on the eastern wall of the fortress and looked down at the First Imperial Army. Next to me was the messenger they had sent the day before, to deliver their ultimatum: surrender or die. His hands were tied and he was firmly held…
