Rinse Kingdoroup s

Though the number of affiliated nobles were very small, one couldn’t underestimate the power they had even so

But because they had no particular wish on the worldly affairs, there were almost no cases in which they actually exercised their power

In fact, though there were many people in the royal fast ordinary citizens who predicted that the senate would reject Roan’s inheritance of the count title, in actuality did not take any action at all

Furthermore, they showed no particular movement at the times of throne succession war and the Second Prince Tommy’s death that occurred afterwards, Simon and the hexers’ conspiracy, and even Kallum and Lukan’s alliance

‘That senate has sent to htly creased his forehead

No, the insignia wasn’t the problem

The identity of the object, or perhaps the order that they had sent with the insignia was important

Because it was an event so beyond expectation, it was difficult to guess their intention

‘In the end, I can only face it’

Roan lightly bit his lips and looked at the thousand- them in”

“Yes Understood, sir”

The thousand-man commander answered shortly and then exited back out of the barrack

“My lord What could it be?”

“The senate……”

“I res and the senate as having not so good a relationship, but……”

Nus poured down

A moment later, the barrack door opened and the thousand-ht the men and wo nobles ains at the head

The nu Sith

They appeared with an insignia of blue cloth with three lions enia that directly revealed the pride of having served at nia, Roan and the Count Lancephil House’s retainers all stood up fronia’

‘The senate really sent people’

‘And the youth party 12 Hatchlings at that……’

Tense looks flowed ast the retainers’ faces

Meanwhile, Sith who had entered inside the barrack boith a reets Sir Count Roan Lancephil”

After that, other nobles followed and bowed

Perhaps because of harrowing travel, they all were of ragged and troubled appearance like one

But perhaps because they had met Roan, looks of relief were plain on all of them

“Good to see you”

Roan shook Sith’s hand and wordlessly stared at hi time

Roan and Sith were a pair with considerable relationship

At the time when he suppressed Elton Coat’s rebellion, the very one who recommended Roan as Simon’s side’s representative was Sith

Furthermore, Sith had sent Baroness Elva Dionell and labored to enlist Roan to the 12 Hatchlings since before that

‘Co Prince Kallum?’

Elva who in the last life was called the Maiden of Blood and Iron and raised great achievement in Kalluuarding Kallum’s side

‘She should soon coht’

Roan faintly smiled and offered seats to Sith and the many nobles

“Let us first sit down and chat, sirs”

“Yes Thank you verynobles sat down on the seats and exhaled a long sigh

Their nervousness had finally loosened

Roan looked back and forth between those 12 Hatchlings and the senate’s insignia and asked in a quiet voice

“Has the youth party 12 Hatchlings allied with the senate?”

At those words, nu Sith drew bitter smiles

However, there was no hesitation to their answer

“Since us 12 Hatchlings, and senate are all Rinse Kingdom’s nobles, sir”

Other nobles quietly nodded their heads at Sith’s words

In the first place, the 12 Hatchlings’s founding goal was the Rinse Kingdodom had collapsed, there was no reason to split sides with the senate and fight

Sith stared straight at Roan’s eyes and stood up fro the senate’s will, there is one thing we htly nodded his head

Sith collected his breath for a moment and then spoke in a powerful voice

“Us six of 12 Hatchlings wish to join Sir Count Roan Lancephil”

“Please”

The other nobles, as if they had been waiting, stood up from their seats and lowered their heads

“Hhm”

The Count Lancephil House’s retainers who had been watching leaked out quiet hudo their heads towards Roan

It was the moment that Roan as no e just few years ago cahtly nodded his head

“There is no reason for rave

“You will have to lower yourselves on your own if you wish to follow ain lowered their heads

For they kneell of the rave, and engrave again into our minds, sir”

An ansith a politely set s’ nobles caoal called Rinse Kingdom’s reconstruction and prosperity

The events fro to be watched for

Sith, with a layer brighter expression, took out the ht the senate’s insignia, sir”

And shortly then took out a long object fro as a forearm

Instantly, numerous nobles’ expressions solemnly sank

Sith stepped out to the side and kneeled on one knee towards Roan, then help up the object with both hands

The other nobles atching all kneeled down on one knee following Sith and lowered their heads

“It is the senate’s will”

Sith spoke in a serious voice

Roan, with a puzzled expression, stared at the long object wrapped in cloth

‘Just what could this be to be so……’

He cautiously extended his hand towards the object

Spark

The er touched the object, he felt an unknown shock

‘What?’

Roan cautiously held up the object and carefully pulled off the fine cloth

The object that that instant appeared a long stick of black color

It was a rather ordinary stick froem was attached at its end

“What is that?”

“I feel like I’ve seen it somewhere before……”

Numerous retainers creased their foreheads and tilted their heads

On the other hand, Roan was goggling his eyes

He knew the identity of this solid and ordinary stick he right now held in his hands

“This……”

He unconsciously left his words open

Sith faintly smiled and nodded his head

“Yes That is in fact……”

A very short silence

“The Grand Commander’s Command Baton”

The instant his words finished

“G, Grand Commander?!”

“Grand Commander you say?”

Numerous retainers shouted with shocked expressions

Sith minded them none and added on

“The only one who can overcoht now is Sir Count Lancephil”

The tip of his voice slightly shook

Sith, while passing the senate’s decision, was tense even unbeknownst to himself

“The senate has appointed Sir Count Roan Lancephil as the Grand Commander”

Grand Commander

The special rank that was used only for a lier

There was only the king above and he had the power to lead, control, and coardless of rank

It was a powerful position that temporarily received all of addodoht the Grand Coreat

When everyone couldn’t continue their words with shocked expression, Ian spoke in a quiet voice as if to rant

“The only arht now are the Lancephil Legion and the Tale Legion, so what use is there even if they give the Grand Cohout their own voices frole proper battle experience

Currently, the only ardodoion and the Tale Legion, in short only the Lancephil Fief’s army

At that moger help than you aze headed towards the Grand Cos the Grand Coive aren’t only such powers”

The s on his mouth turned even thicker

“Block!”

“Die!”

“Pierce!”

Shouts incredible enough for goosebumps to rise all over the body stormed

Voices full of venoh the shouts and hit the ears

Chang! Chajang! Chang! Ssweaaaaak!

Sparks flew and blood jumped

Arpeau Forest about half a day South of the capital, Miller

The beautiful forest and the fields famous as the royalties and nobles’ picnic place were turned into a horrid and grueso speed! Send the signal!”

“Yes sir!”

Clamorous order was quickly passed down

Duether with the sound of dru stopped their feet and reorganized their formation

“Richard Troop, Neumann Troop! Hit out at the center arht!”

“Yes sir!”

The order continued to pour down

Each tiswas that each tile bit of error

Uddk

The man who sent down various orders in front of the center army clenched his teeth

‘We stopped them somehow until now, but the nularing at the battlefield on the opposite side while coion’s vice-commander and three-thousand-man commander Semi

Se the Tale Legion and ion’s defense had heard the news that Kallu to the capital, Miller, and set up a defense line in the Arpeau Forest region

‘We are at the most ten thousand That side is over fifty thousand’

Uddk

His teeth gritted once more

‘So we have to retreat to the capital, Miller, in the end?’

He wished to at least stop to the end turning the Miller Castle into a battlefield

With the capital at the center, big and s

If the capital, Miller, became a battlefield, they couldn’t protect the nearby castles and towns

‘Looking at Kallum and Lukan’s actions until now, the possibility of horrible pillaging and foul and appalling acts happening is high’

Due to that, Semi had chosen not a castle defense battle but a field battle and tried to somehow stop Kallum Lukan Allied Army

In that process, Semi overcame the nu their advances for close to ten days

These were all so possible thanks to efficient troop for skill on top

Of course, this was also so that could perfectly use all of these was there

“Vice-Co!”

One thousand-ive a room to breathe”

Semi bitterly sht wing’s for

But even so, they couldn’t send out the left wing and the center army’s soldiers either

‘Let’s fall back’

Only the soldiers would be lost even if they forcibly hold on

‘Even the people around the capital should have ran away by now’

He wished to believe so

“Right wing retreat The center aruard”

“Eh?! Tha, that means……?”

Nearby commanders asked back with shocked expressions

Semi nodded his head

“We retreat to the capital, Miller”

A difficult decision

“Kuuk”

Many coroans

Rage pushed up to their throats

The situation where they had to retreat like this was regrettable

“Re…… treat”

“Retreat… retreat!”

The thousand-ht the word of retreat to their mouths
