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…

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 21 - The Moron Drinks and Refuses to Dance 【POV: Cerros Baal】 On the easternmost regions of the Baal Empire was the town of Xinania, a fortress city on the border with the Huang Dynasty and my home base. Xinania was originally part of the Huang territories, until the late emperor took it by force.

Chapter 22 - Before the Armies Clash...a Tea Party with the Princess One month had passed since Rossellia began her stay in the Maxwell province.

Chapter 24 - Conditions of Victory Following the empire’s declaration of war, I led the Maxwell territory’s forces to Fort Bryden. It was my first time visiting the fort in 5 years: the preparation for the empire’s large-scale invasion filled it with a heavy atmosphere. During the war council, it was decided that I would lead 5,000 of the 7,000 troops that formed the eastern nobles’ allied forces. My old man was in charge of the remaining 2,000, posted in the Maxwell territory’s capital of…

Chapter 25 - Eve of the Decisive Battle - The Fallen Wise General 【POV: Snowe Halphas】 “Here...at last.” I quietly whispered to myself as I looked up at Fort Bryden, a key stronghold of the Maxwell territory. Fort Bryden was a square-shaped fortress. The steep mountains on its west side made it impossible to house a large army, so it could only be assaulted from the other three cardinal directions. The imperial forces had already surrounded the fort. The First Imperial Army would attack from…
