Having absorbed the forces of the Western Military District, Oswald wasted no time and immediately began his march north.
Of course, he entrusted the management of Paris in the rear to the Iberian Lords’ Coalition and the Duchy of Normandy. This was because a considerable amount of manpower was needed to quickly restore and normalize war-torn Paris.
As they were advancing towards the north, they encountered demon hunters from the Order.
“It’s been a while, Commander.”
“Oswald. . . no, should I call you Commander now?”
“Just be comfortable.”
“Then I’ll call you Oswald.”
“So, why is the Commander of the Order of the Holy Knights here in person?”
“It seems the 2nd Princess is planning to summon the forces of Seduction. We have already confirmed the citizens who are being sacrificed and having their life force taken away by her.”
“How many are there?”
“It seems she has gathered about 100,000 people.”
“Ugh. . . we need to hurry.”
“The Order of the Holy Knights was already being mobilized in large numbers, and we just happened to meet you. Isn’t this all Chronos’ will?”
Afterward, Oswald received about 300 members of the Order of the Holy Knights and quickly advanced north. First, they loaded as many troops as possible onto the air force ships and advanced with the air force in the lead.
The command of the army in the rear was entrusted to Elsa, who had been promoted to Major General and appointed as Deputy Commander. Elsa and Oswald, who started with a bad relationship, had now developed into a relationship where they trusted each other and could rely on each other.
Elsa was born as the eldest daughter and was pushed out of the family’s succession line. However, now that she had grown significantly in the military, she no longer needed to be attached to her family, and she had reserved a position among the Western lords who had been divided this time. Now, if the internal rebellion was suppressed, she planned to accept the position of lord and apply for discharge from the military.
‘𝘐𝘵 𝘴𝘦𝘦𝘮𝘴 𝘖𝘴𝘸𝘢𝘭𝘥 𝘪𝘴 𝘢𝘭𝘴𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘰𝘧 𝘳𝘦𝘵𝘪𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘧𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘤𝘪𝘷𝘪𝘭 𝘸𝘢𝘳 𝘪𝘴 𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳. . . 𝘐 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘳𝘦𝘵𝘪𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘰𝘰.’
Until now, she had been able to succeed because she was a classmate from the academy, but it was unknown whether she could grow further in the military after Oswald left.
‘𝘊𝘶𝘳𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘭𝘺, 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘤𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘪𝘥𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘴 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘉𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘺 𝘔𝘢𝘳𝘨𝘳𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘕𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘴 𝘌𝘢𝘳𝘭, 𝘸𝘩𝘪𝘤𝘩 𝘩𝘢𝘴 𝘕𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘴 𝘊𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘢𝘴 𝘪𝘵𝘴 𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘺. . . 𝘚𝘵𝘪𝘭𝘭, 𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥𝘯’𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘉𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘺 𝘔𝘢𝘳𝘨𝘳𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘣𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳?’
Unlike Nantes, which only had one city, Brittany formed a region like Normandy. This was enough to join the Empire’s Electoral Council.
‘𝘐𝘧 𝘐 𝘨𝘦𝘵 𝘉𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘺, 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘕𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵𝘸𝘢𝘭𝘬𝘦𝘳 𝘧𝘢𝘮𝘪𝘭𝘺’𝘴 𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘺 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘣𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘯 𝘭𝘢𝘳𝘨𝘦𝘳.’
The reason why the Nightwalker family, one of the Five Grand Dukes, was able to be listed among the Five Grand Dukes was not because of the strength of their territory but because her father, who was a master, had considerable influence in the Imperial Regular Knights. Even though they were a Five Grand Dukes family, they were a newly emerging family that did not even have a seat in the Electoral Council of Elders.
There were two decision-making bodies within the Imperial Council. The first was the Imperial Council, in which all nobles participated, and the second was the Electoral Council of Elders, which was responsible for deciding important matters of the Empire.
‘𝘕𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵𝘸𝘢𝘭𝘬𝘦𝘳? 𝘞𝘩𝘰 𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘴? 𝘐’𝘮 𝘨𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘊𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘉𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘺 𝘯𝘰𝘸. 𝘏𝘦𝘩𝘦𝘩𝘦𝘩𝘦.’
While Elsa was having such happy delusions as they marched, Oswald urged the air force to head towards Riga City even faster.
How long had they been flying? Oswald was soon able to arrive at the Belarusian plains where the Eastern Lords’ Coalition army was located.
They could have gone further from there, but. . . they also needed the help of the ground forces, so they decided to stop here to rest, meet his father Wilhelm, and plan an operation together before marching towards Riga.
“It’s been a while! Father!”
Oswald greeted his father, who had aged considerably since they last met, and Wilhelm grinned and welcomed him.
“Isn’t this the Commander who has made a name for himself? Yes, you must have had a hard time coming all this way.”
“Hahaha, what hardship could I have gone through? The crew had a hard time.”
“More than that, are those all the troops you have?”
“Yes, as things seem to be moving quite urgently, I brought the air force first. Of course, I brought one army division with me on those air force ships. . . but wouldn’t it be better to have troops to support us on land?”
“You want to use our Eastern Lords’ Coalition army for that?”
“Father, as father and son, shouldn’t we help each other?”
“Even so, I can’t just move the army without anything in return, can I? It’s not like His Majesty the Emperor has given an order. . . Moreover, the Eastern Lords’ Coalition army is a volunteer army, not a regular army.”
“. . . . . .”
Oswald shook his head as he watched his father sniffing around to see if he could get anything out of his son.
“What do you want?”
“I want the license to produce the portable anti-tank missiles that are being developed and produced at the Valencia Arsenal. . .”
“You’re a real bandit.”
Thus, they agreed to receive the assistance of the Eastern Lords’ Coalition army in exchange for handing over the license to produce the anti-tank missiles that were currently under development and nearing completion.
Afterward, the Eastern Lords’ Coalition army advanced towards Minsk City. This was because the rebel forces, the Northern Lords’ Coalition army, were stationed there.
The Northern Lords’ Coalition army was only about 100,000 strong, so they would probably push them away in an instant and march to ‘Riga’.
The news that the Eastern Lords’ Coalition army had begun their advance again soon reached Arwen in Riga.
