Magicless Extra: The Villain’s Survival Method – Chapter 115.2

“I am Brigadier General Oswald Winchester. I will ask you to take good care of me on the way.”

“Hahaha, no. It is I who am honored to be under your command, Lieutenant Brigadier General Winchester. Didn’t you play a brilliant role in creating this aerial battleship ‘Metatron’?”

After exchanging various stories with Captain Douglas, the expeditionary force on land also finished their preparations for departure and began their advance once again.

This time, thanks to the support of 40,000 troops from the Principality of Paranos, the size of the expeditionary force increased to a total of 130,000. Of course, the level of standard weapons in Paranos Principality was the trap known as the Piper Series and Winchester Series. . . but at least it was considered state of the art in the New Continent.

As the expeditionary force was advancing northward, a group joined the expeditionary force from the northwest. They were mercenaries from the Sun Mercenary Group who had retreated to Thunder Bay.

Even though their city-state had already collapsed, they had no need to continue fighting against Chaos and war, but they wanted to join the expeditionary force and fight against Chaos.

At first, Oswald refused their request, saying that he did not have the funds to hire the Sun Mercenary Group, but he ordered them to join after they said and acted that they would fight without pay in order to get revenge on Chaos.

Their size was only about 2,000, but each and every one of them was a skilled user who was stronger than ordinary soldiers.

While that was going on, they met Dominika who possessed the Sunfire Shield and Sunfire Gauntlets and asserted ownership of the two items but Oswald suppressed them while saying that Dominika had priority as the one who owned the Sunfire Cloak.

Nevertheless, a few greedy guys challenged Dominika, and Dominika showed off her master’s skills and subdued them. . . Suddenly, the mercenaries began to ask Dominika to lead them, and they elected her as their mercenary leader.

Dominika, who was bewildered, looked at Oswald with a ‘what do I do?’ expression, and Oswald told her to absorb the ‘Sun Mercenary Group’, saying that a good thing is a good thing.

Thus, Dominika, who had absorbed the ‘Sun Mercenary Group’, came to be known by the alias ‘Dominika of the Sun’.

Meanwhile, in the Imperial mainland, a political struggle was taking place over the issue of removing Oswald from his position as commander of the expeditionary force and sending a new commander. In fact, now that the Empire had unified the western Titan, all that remained was to decide on the successor to the still-vacant crown prince position.

Since the Emperor had almost made up his mind on the 1st Prince Valentine, the other princes were burning up.

In particular, the support forces that supported them were watching closely to see how they could make their own prince or princess the successor, and they found out that the Winchester family was the support force for the 1st Prince Valentine. After that, the current commander of the Chaos Expeditionary Force was the youngest of the Winchester family, Oswald, and this mess began to unfold.

“There is no reason to replace a commander who is already doing well, so that matter will be dismissed.”

The Emperor also felt no need to replace Oswald, who was doing well and had an official CID diamond-class rank, with another commander. At least to deal with Chaos, a diamond-class skilled person had to be sent as commander, and among the current legion-level commanders, the only person who was a diamond-class skilled person was the commander of the Empire’s Imperial Knights, Marquis Lionheart.

“However, Your Majesty, according to sources, the expeditionary force retreated from Winnipeg once, didn’t it? Doesn’t that mean there’s a problem with the commander?”

At the words of Marquis Leipzig, who supported the 3rd Prince, Minister of Defense Duke Warsaw laughed.

“So you’re saying that he should have defeated an army of 100,000 with an archduke demon? If you’re that confident, why don’t you go and face him yourself, Marquis Leipzig? I bet Marquis Leipzig will go to Eden just by the archduke demon sneezing.”

Laughter erupted from all sides at those words. The ‘Eden’ of the nine divine orders, the heavens, was the same as saying that he was dead. That’s why laughter erupted from all sides.

Thanks to that, the 3rd Prince’s faction nobles, led by Leipzig, began to curse and swear, and soon the conference room became noisy with shouting back and forth.

“Stooooop!”

The Emperor’s roar made the ministers quiet in an instant.

“Marquis Leipzig, you said to replace Lieutenant Brigadier General Winchester, so do you have an alternative? Who do you recommend as the commander from your side? Oh, and by the way, they must be at least CID diamond-class.”

At those words, Marquis Leipzig was unable to open his mouth. Not a single commander in the western military district that supported the 3rd Prince was of diamond-class or higher.

“You don’t have one? Then shut up.”

The Emperor’s rebuke made Marquis Leipzig’s face turn red, and he was laughed at from all sides.
