“……If Admiral His Highness finds out…….”

“This is all for Admiral His Highness. You, me, the Captain of the Royal Guard, and no one else knows about this.”

At Iriel’s firm decision, Lakan, his forehead creased with effort, finally bowed his head. It was clear to anyone that Miss Skaha’s departure was the right path for Admiral His Highness.

“Driver, was it Lugard? You’re hired by me from now on. Help Miss Skaha get to where she wants.”

Inside the car, Skaha knelt, shedding tears profusely. Looking at her, the driver, with a pale, scared face, nodded.

“Yes, yes. Ah, understood!”

The driver seemed young and naive in both appearance and response, but he didn’t seem likely to have any ill intentions.

Iriel looked at Skaha with sympathetic eyes. Now he felt like he knew this woman’s sincerity. He was even somewhat thankful to Skaha, who had decided herself to leave Cassard.

“If you’re sending Miss Skaha alone, don’t fool around just because she’s pretty… You understand, right?”
“Never, never will that happen!”

“……He’s not like that. Lugard, after you help with the settlement of Skaha, come find me. We’ll find a way so you can be reinstated.”

Lugard still nodded with a face turned pale. He did not like the fearful look, but he could not send Atilla’s bodyguard or Cassard’s sergeant.

Anyway, since Sergeant Lakan also said that Lugard was a kindhearted fellow, Iriel could feel a little relieved. Since it started to rain, the weather was perfect to stage a car accident in the rainy road.

(This is a time separator.)

Countless bullets flew over the trench.

Despite the massive assault of the Teshia Empire, where the entire royal army participated, the Parsad Imperial Army took the advantage from the early stages of the battle, backed by excellent firepower.

The wellprepared Parsad Imperial Army commenced an attack as soon as the Teshia’s royal army arrived at Crom Hald.

The Teshia Imperial Army, which had just left from the cold northern capital, had to face the Parsad Imperial Army even before adapting to the soggy, thawed land of Crom Hald, where winter had ended early.

The Blahnath family, leading in arms manufacturing, especially in firearms development, first blew up the Crom Hald’s advanced supply base with improved siege cannons.

The unexpected longrange strike left Teshia’s side unable to respond in time.

The unification of the command structure between Teshia’s imperial army led by Prince Allen and the royal army led by Emperor Rudraga was also an advantage for the Parsad Imperial Army.

After all, the general soldiers would surely be confused since Prince Allen, who had been focusing only on local battles, was suddenly dismissed as the general commander and forced into a fullscale battle.

Thanks to this, the trenches dug diligently by the Teshia Imperial Army became the possession of the Parsad Imperial Army, and Teshia, retreating from the Crom Hald front, was making its last stand.

Admiral Blahnath, Cassard, famous for taking the field beyond tactical planning or commanding, was also watching the trench battle situation.

“Your Highness, as you predicted, the number of flying bullets has significantly decreased.”

“Now, deploy the combat vehicles.”

The defeat felt on the Crom Hald front, the premonition that the supply base was destroyed and supply of military materials would not be smooth, the stubbornness of Emperor Rudraga not to issue a retreat order despite running out of ammunition; the Teshia Imperial Army was already feeling the fear of death.

That was precisely when Admiral Blahnath’s war finale was set.

Boom!

Somewhere, the ground vibrated with a loud ship’s bell sound. A ship’s bell sound out of nowhere…?

The eyes of the soldiers fighting in the trenches widened as they discovered combat vehicles camouflaged with tents and bushes towards Crom Hald.

Dozens of armored vehicles moving at once, with giant tracks rotating, were enough to plunge the Teshia Imperial Army, already captured by the fear of death, into chaos.

Kugugugugugu…….

The vibration that even resonated in the ground was like the heartbeats of Teshia, paralyzed with terror.

Thus, the nearly threeyearlong ParsadTeshia war came to an end.

It was a complete victory for the Parsad Empire.
