Chapter 26 - Eve of the Decisive Battle - The Soldiers’ Unease “The battle is going to start tomorrow morning, then.” “Yeah...can we really defeat the Maxwell forces, though…?” On the east side of Fort Bryden, the soldiers of Lars Baal’s First Imperial Army were eating inside a tent. The menu was wheat boiled in water sprinkled with salt: very simple but certainly not very palatable. Their bodies, taxed by the long march, however, welcomed it eagerly, savoring the warmth it brought to…

Chapter 34 - Woes of a Knight Captain — and a Father 【POV: Rajang Salazar】 The First and Second Imperial Armies were fighting fiercely — against each other. The Maxwell forces then joined the fray, plunging the battlefield into complete chaos. Watching it all unfold from a distance, I sighed. “How…how utterly foolish.

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…

RUUUUN!!!” “GET OUT OF THE WAY, SMALL FRY!!” The Maxwell cavalry, led by Ladd Efreeta, barged into the First and Second Imperial Armies’ battlefield. The sudden assault of this third party plunged the already stormy battlefield into even further chaos. “We have two heads to take! Lars Baal and Grett Baal! You can smash the rest however you want!” “YES SIR!!” The Second Imperial Army was already shaken…

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 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 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 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…
