The red hawks recovered quickly.

Good food and plenty of rest.

With just those two things, they quickly regained their prime.

Although it took some time, two days of rest were enough for them to go to war.

“They all expressed their willingness to go to war.”

So great is their resentment against the barbarians that they offer to go to war without any requirements.

The Marquis of Easton readily accepted them.

Easton is always hungry for talent because there is not enough manpower.

Masters of red tying bows.

What’s more, their power, which had excellent talent in Aurors, was to the point where they had to ask for it.

The Marquis of Easton opened a new unit made up of only red hawks.

And he asked Arjuna to be their commander.

He prevented me from rejecting what Arjuna wanted to refuse.

No one knows more about the red hawk than Arjuna.

Although defeated by the savages, there is no one more capable of commanding them than she.

At least she’s been their chief for years.

“I know you feel guilty for them, but how long are you going to stay like that? Are you going to stop talking to me until you die?”

“… .”

she was speechless

I gave up telling her more.

You have to realize this yourself, otherwise it is meaningless to say anything around you.

Still, there was an order I gave, and since I became the unit commander leading them, I had to face them whether I liked it or not.

I had to mix things up with them, whether intentionally or not.

“… There was definitely a harvest, but as expected, they don’t seem to be particularly affected.”

The harvest of this mission, which raided the supply base, was neither too great nor too small.

Even though all the food was stolen, they did not waver.

They acted as if they were used to it, no matter whether they had food or not.

“It seems that this warchief is trying to end everything with this war. And that goes for us too.”

The situation of the current savages, which I heard through the Great History, was miserable and cruel even if I tried to look good.

It is said that all non-combatants who are slightly injured or unable to participate in the war become ‘food’.

The funnier thing was that the savages destined to become ‘food’ did not rebel.

To that extent, they feared and respected the chieftain.

“Do you know what will happen if we lose this war?”

“Um… .”

“Hmm… .”

The vassals drool.

The unit commanders who commanded the units kept their mouths shut as if they had so many thoughts.

Marquis Easton looked around at them and said.

“In other words, we must win this war. And we can win.”

The Marquis of Easton speaks confidently. His gaze is directed towards the entrance of the tent.

Bane and Arjuna were watching the meeting with their arms crossed.

“Two Masters are with us, and the elves are on our side. And now there is also a unit made up of those rare red hawks.”

Wouldn’t it be strange to lose?

At Marquis Easton’s words, the faces of the vassals and commanders brighten up.

That’s right. It might be difficult with Easton, but now that the powers of the elves and red hawks are combined, it is more strange to lose now that the two masters are together.

But there are always variables, so you shouldn’t be vigilant.

“They say they are still advancing. You must know that there is no point in sending reconnaissance.”

They found out belatedly that we had annihilated the scouting party.

Originally, at that point, you might be cautious, but there was no word for savages to be careful.

Rather, they were approaching with the main army, knowing that it would be of no use to send them in small detail.

“Miss Beatrice is reinforcing the wall with the elves, and the red hawks will use their strength on Mercury on top of the wall.”

The savages were approaching at a speed that was neither fast nor slow.

At the current rate, it will arrive sometime tomorrow.

It would be a loss to wage an all-out war against the savages.

They have bodies optimized for combat.

So far, Easton’s way of dealing with them has been mostly surprise.

Fighting them frontally was extremely rare.

When fighting them openly, only the knights stepped forward.

To that extent, the battle with the savages was cautious.

Because even the smallest mistake can cost you your life.

“We will sit-in. Until they catch their guard.”

The Marquis of Easton devised several other strategies.

Then, the strategy was discussed with those present.

“Sir Bane and Arjuna, the role of the two is the greatest.”

Bane nodded. Arjuna was not able to concentrate properly on the conversation.

Even at the call of the Marquis of Easton, he just stayed blankly.

“Arjuna?”

I hit her arm invisible. Only then does she come to her senses.

“I think it would be best to put the tribal members aside for a while.”

At my words, she nods.

Marquis Easton ignored the situation as if he was used to it and talked to her again.

After the meeting, I left the command barracks.

“Arjuna. Talk to me if it doesn’t work out. I will change it.”

she looks at me Since they are members of her tribe, they must know them better than anyone else.

But with her current state, leading them would be a problem.

Although no one is as qualified as she is, that doesn’t mean she has to be there.

Although difficult, there are competent commanders to lead them.

It was just placed because she was more efficient.

But if you keep doing that, I’ll tell Marquis Easton that it’s better to change the commander.

Perhaps reading my thoughts, she shook her head.

“no. You can.”

Despite saying that she can do it, her eyes widen as she looks at the tribe members.

So far, she hasn’t spoken a word to her tribemates.

Tribal members approached her first, but she avoided them.

It was evident that he was suffering from guilt for not protecting them.

Well, it’s only been a day and she said something, so I guess I’ll have to wait for now.

It’s not an easy thing to open your heart as you wish.

“Anyway, it’s a siege… .”

Oh, since it’s the guard side, should I call it the Suseongjeon?

Anyway, the battle to protect the castle is the first time.

There were times when I defended myself or attacked, but this was the first battle using a castle.

In the first place, war doesn’t happen often, so it’s rare to have such an experience.

In particular, when the balance of power in each country is tight, as it is now, there is no war.

So, the experience of protesting is valuable.

‘Can I do well?’

It would have been better if it had been an all-out war.

However, it is the first time to fight on top of the castle walls.

We must stop the barbarians from climbing the castle.

Considering the physical abilities of the savages, it seemed that they could climb the walls without a ladder.

Climb up holding on to the rugged part of the wall.

Oh man, imagining it is the worst.

Considering his physical abilities, I don’t think he would die with one or two arrows.

The appearance of barbarians climbing the castle wall with arrows stuck in their bodies would be horror itself.

‘It’s good for eye health to send them to one room at most.’

As I was thinking about it alone, I saw Selina approaching in the distance.

“What are you doing?”

“I just had something to think about… .”

“I entered the detached unit.”

“I know.”

A detached unit with Bane as the commander. They ambush the savages away from the main base, or attack the empty houses of the savages.

A unit with a different mission than mine.

“Raymond, what are you doing?”

“I think I will focus on Mercury for now… I’m probably going to join the assault squad.”

Marquis Easton wanted me to join the assault force.

And I was thinking of accepting the offer unless something else happened.

“Isn’t it very dangerous if it’s an assault force?”

“What is not dangerous in war? It’s all dangerous. Even the detached unit with Miss Selina would not be easy considering the risk.”

“Hey, my father is with me.”

Well, it is.

The Sword Master is with you, but it would be hard to find a safer place than next to him in a war.

‘Assuming I don’t know that dragons are with me.’

To be honest, I am with a moving fortress.

With Reems’ ability, he could hide only me, or perhaps the people around me.

‘However, if Liems uses his strength in earnest, other dragons may notice it.’

The dragons, already sensitive to hatchlings, would not be complacent if they knew that hatchlings were being raised under some human.

Hatchlings step in when it’s really urgent.

“That is also true. Being next to Lord Vane would be safer than being in the castle.”

But I can’t tell her that.

I can’t see her as completely mine like Alice or Arjuna.

It is true that he became close with her, but not to the extent of sharing secrets.

“You don’t have to worry about me. Sometimes the elves are together… Above all, there is a Master on this side as well.”

I point to one side and say, she follows me there and nods her head with an ah.

There was Arjuna hiding in a corner and watching the red hawk.

The red hawks seemed to know she was watching them, but they didn’t show it.

Because when they approach, she runs away.

“It’s too complicated over there… .”

“Yes? What did you say?”

“no. it’s nothing.”

He got up from his seat and brushed the dust off his buttocks.

It was time to warm up by sparring with the knights before the battle.

Dang dang dang – The bell rings.

The sound of a bell filled with urgency filled the castle.

“Enemies!”

“The enemy has invaded!”

The soldiers hurriedly move at the sound of the bell.

At the sound of the bell announcing that the enemy was invading, the commanders in the barracks came out all at once.

Marquis Easton bursts out of the command barracks and catches a soldier passing nearby.

“What is it?”

“The savages are coming!”

“what?”

Are you coming in so fast?

According to the scouts, it took time for the savages to get here.

But come so soon Marquis Easton climbs the castle wall with the knights in an impossible situation.

I followed him and signaled to Arjuna.

Although I didn’t say much, she sensed my intentions and moved.

I was a little worried, but luckily this time, she approached the tribe members first.

Reassuringly, he climbed up the wall.

“crazy… .”

And I couldn’t help but sigh.

The endless army was running toward the castle.
