𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝟏𝟏𝟗.1: 𝐀𝐫𝐦𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐒𝐢𝐧 (7)
CID Peacekeeping Force Headquarters.
A conference was held under the leadership of Commander Major General Vasily Chuikov.
On one side sat Brigadier General Oswald Winchester, commander of the Imperial Empire Expeditionary Force, Lieutenant General Bernard Law Montgomery, the division commander dispatched from the Kingdom of Britannia, Duke of Salt Lake, the lord of the Comanche Kingdom, Prince Aruka Comanche of the Comanche Kingdom, and Lieutenant General Andre Joseph, the division commander dispatched from the Republic of Libertas.
And on the other side were Marquis Arondir, dispatched from the Elondil High Elf Empire, ‘Eugnil’ of the Drake race, Archduke Malekis, dispatched from the Sahara Dark Elf Empire, Duke of Lorraine, dispatched from the Orion Wood Elf Empire, and Duke Balkas Wolfhound, who had recently joined from the Union Beast Union Kingdom.
Finally, opposite the commander, were Leto Zagreaus, Hippolyte Arenia, and Agenor Baruna from the Order.
‘𝘞𝘰𝘸. . . . . . 𝘢 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭 𝘞𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘸𝘰𝘭𝘧. . . . . .’
In particular, it was Duke Balkas Wolfhound from the Beast Union Kingdom that caught Oswald’s attention. In fact, it was the first time he had ever seen a beast kin since coming to this world, which was why he was so conspicuous.
‘𝘏𝘦 𝘮𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘣𝘦 𝘢 𝘱𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘵 𝘬𝘪𝘯.’
Beast kin are broadly divided into pure, half, and quarter. Pure is literally pure-blooded, half is mixed-blood, and quarter is mixed-blood with mixed-blood. Fortunately, it was not difficult to distinguish between them because their appearance changed a lot depending on their lineage.
In the case of pure blood, they have the form of a beast as it is, in the case of half, they have a human appearance mixed with the form of a beast, and in the case of quarter, they have the form of a human mixed with the body of a beast.
Anyway, the content of the meeting was about how to fight the Legion of Pride.
After the legions of Wrath were defeated by Oswald, the legions of Pride stopped sending the demons and dimaens they had been sending to the Comanche Kingdom and began to amass their forces. As a result, a huge number of troops were gathering in Vancouver City, where the Archduke of Pride was presumed to be.
The number of troops confirmed through the observation post alone easily exceeded 1.5 million. It was amazing to think where all those demons were hiding.
“So, which side would like to volunteer to be the vanguard?”
At the commander’s words, Archduke Malekis of the Sahara Dark Elf Empire and Oswald volunteered without hesitation.
“Hoo. . . . . . ”
Archduke Malekis looked at Oswald with a surprised face, and Oswald looked at Marquis Arondir, wondering why Elondil had not come forward for this task.
Was it because of Oswald’s gaze? Marquis Arondir cleared his throat and averted his gaze.
‘𝘞𝘦𝘭𝘭. . . 𝘐 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘭𝘰𝘴𝘵 𝘮𝘰𝘴𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘢𝘪𝘳 𝘣𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘱𝘴 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘭𝘢𝘴𝘵 𝘎𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵 𝘞𝘢𝘳. . . . . .’
Since the Elondil Empire had already lost a considerable amount of power in the vortex of the last Great War, it was understandable that they would be cautious about protecting themselves.
‘𝘞𝘩𝘺 𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘨𝘦𝘵 𝘪𝘯𝘷𝘰𝘭𝘷𝘦𝘥 𝘪𝘯 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘦𝘭𝘴𝘦’𝘴 𝘸𝘢𝘳?’
All they had gained was the Balearic Islands. Originally, they had planned to acquire the territory of the Republic of Libertas as well, but after they were miserably defeated and defeated, they recognized the founding of the Republic of Libertas, which succeeded the Democratic Republic, in order to avoid facing the Imperial Empire 1:1.
Of course, in order to do that, they had to give up their colonial territory and return it to the Republic. . . . . . But still, it was not a bad choice as they gained an eternal ally.
After that, there were a few more adjustments and D-DAY was set. D-DAY was 30 days away.
Apparently, the Great Zhou Empire was also sending troops to respond to this Chaos invasion, and the time of their arrival was a week before D-DAY.
The Grand Zhu Empire’s army was currently in Libertas Bay, disembarking its troops at the Port of Galveston in Houston City, a territory of the Commonwealth of Texas.
Originally, it was impossible to land on the territory of the Commonwealth of Texas, but the Commonwealth’s vassals, who were terrified by the Chaos forces that were strongly attacking the Comanche Kingdom, decided to join the CID after much deliberation, opening up a new path.
“Then let’s wrap up the meeting here.”
As Commander Vasily Chuikov finished speaking, everyone stood up and Duke of Salt Lake invited them to a party.
The party hosted by Duke of Salt Lake was attended by many nobles and celebrities from all walks of life. After all, it was an opportunity to meet high-ranking officials of the empire from the distant Gigas and Titan continents, so everyone made an effort to attend despite the difficult times. . . . . . The party became even more grand.
‘𝘐 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘣𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘈𝘭𝘪𝘤𝘪𝘢 𝘪𝘧 𝘐 𝘩𝘢𝘥 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸𝘯. . . . . .’
The young corps commander, Oswald, was very embarrassed by the women who were trying to look good to him. In particular, there were quite a few women who were trying to get close to Oswald because the news about the Winchester family was widely known to them.
Moreover, the Empire was a country that had legalized polygamy. So, although they could not officially become his wife, they could become his concubine, so there were quite a few very blatant temptations.
‘𝘜𝘨𝘩. . . . . .’
Oswald, who had been forcibly smiling like that, quickly ran away from the party, using fatigue as an excuse.
“Ha. . . . . . Damn, I thought I’d eat something delicious. . . . . . ”
He couldn’t even fill his stomach properly because of those annoying people. In the end, Oswald filled his stomach with food from the stalls in the market near the garrison.
‘𝘈𝘧𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘢𝘭𝘭, 𝘮𝘢𝘳𝘬𝘦𝘵 𝘧𝘰𝘰𝘥 𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘨𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘪𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘦𝘴𝘵.’
It seemed that this truth would not change no matter where he went.
As he returned to the garrison with a full stomach, he could hear the enthusiastic cheers of training.
“Euaaaa! Get out of the way!!”
Soldiers wielding spears and staffs were smashing each other’s heads, and soldiers were running like crazy in the training ground. . . . . . Soldiers were seen moving hard everywhere, making a lot of noise like they were watching a triathlon.
“What the hell is going on . . . . . .”
Curious about what was going on, Oswald called over an officer who was nearby and asked him what was going on. Apparently, Gilgamesh and Miguel had put the soldiers through this training in exchange for vacations, overnight stays, and outings.
In particular, in the case of the company competition, they fought each other using spears and staffs to win victory, and since it took two days to leave, the soldiers were running like they were going to die even if their heads were broken.
‘𝘞𝘦𝘭𝘭. . . . . . 𝘐𝘴 𝘪𝘵 𝘣𝘦𝘤𝘢𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘱𝘪𝘭𝘨𝘳𝘪𝘮𝘴?’
