Garudeina Oukoku Koukoku Ki

"So, has the mess of the inhabitants settled?

"Yes, it's been three months since I accepted and I don't seem particularly dissatisfied with the assignment of work"

"But it takes a little time to educate you about letters and calculations. We have also had an impact and there have been some delays in the work in each department"

"Hmm... As for the delay, send personnel from the 3rd and 4th squadrons and try to get it back at all. There are no delays in education. In this situation where everyone is busy moving, there are few people who can devote their time to you."

"Accepted."

"Johan, who's ready for the 1st and 2nd squadrons?

"Ha, we are currently exclusively training and educating recruits, but those who are already ready for food, weapons, are doing well. The rest will be accomplished by Lord Nina's discrepancy."

"Aye, okay. It will be time for Dinanto to move. Perhaps after all this time, we will attack the Empire with the appropriate force and weapons and food. Take care of yourself."

"Yes, sir."

Gardina Forest Capitol, this place was showing unparalleled hustle and noise.

During a recent visit to Lyudmila in the Imperial capital, she received news that the army of Dinanto had departed the King's capital.

It took a long time, but that was because Dinant's diplomats struggled to draw the cooperation of the Fruegel kingdom. Of course, Georg doesn't know that, but he must be a survivor. That said, that's not all bad for the kingdom either. Except if you're just incompetent for eating extra time.

"... is it okay?"

To Georg's whining words, the place quiets down.

"In this battle, not least our presence will jump to the surface stage of history. Therefore, it may be regarded as Gardina's rightful place from now on. Needless to say, the Empire shows our presence in Dinant, in Frugel and in other countries. And this is much earlier than originally planned."

Originally, Georg made it clear that he wanted to keep his existence secret for twenty years if possible, but I never thought the time would come for him to do so and make it public so soon.

If you are asked if there is a need to lend a hand to the Empire that far, there may be a question mark there. However, we still do not possess the national power to fight with Dinanto on our own, nor do we have any prospects of holding it. If it were to be a war between the Empire and the Dinants there, in case the Empire is defeated, there is a risk that its power will go straight to Gardina.

I don't know how long the engagement with the Empire will last, but I'm also not going to be optimistic that Gardina's information won't be passed on to Dinanto in the meantime, etc.

Therefore, the overriding goal is to fight with an empire that possesses more than equal force to the Dinants, intercept this together, and sharpen that force as far as possible.

The empire would also be made obnoxious with the "kingdom of heretics fighting with the Subhumans". But that's just the difference between slow or early, too. It is also necessary, then, to beat as soon as possible the nations that will be adding difficulty and to consolidate their preparedness for other countries.

The nations bordering the empire are Dinant to the southwest, Frugel to the southeast, and the Kingdom of Welbania to the east, within which the Church has a significant influence, followed by Frugel, and this time if you tap Dinant, the empire can concentrate its forces on Frugel. In that case, there will be no aggressive offense by Fruegel passive from end to end. In the first place, Frugel is not a nation enlarged by war, but a shipping statehood developed by maritime commerce, having engaged with empires and dinants only in former wars, but only in offshore combat and sporadic landings by the navy, which avoided depletion in land warfare against empires, with the mediation of the Church.

As for this battle, Lyudmila said, it may be positive, but Frugel is also showing his soldiers on the border with the Empire, and he can't use his full strength for a dinner battle because he doesn't need to ignore it.

Dinant, the most subracist nation on the continent, the existence of the Church's main mountain. Even if there is no hostility here, there will come a time when we will have to decide between the males and females somewhere. And at that time, Gardina must also possess the appropriate military capabilities. Shall we say that this battle is a strategic delay operation to postpone the time to come?

"We will not stand out and fight from the front in this fight. We will not use a small number of manoeuvres and sequential reconnaissance of battle situations by Kingsguards to fought in a disruptive, maneuvering, ambush, or ever praiseworthy manner. I can roughly imagine how humans would appreciate this. But you don't have to worry about that. Soldiers have a way of fighting for the widows, that is, more, less. Such as challenging thousands of soldiers from the front with hundreds, that's just what fools do, barbaric courage. Make sure the soldiers understand that. Though I believe that there is no one in our army who can wear bravery and recklessness, war sometimes confuses, drives people crazy, and causes them to die. Don't waste this Gardina army where one soldier is worth more than one."

"Let's carve those words into your chest."

"And don't starve those who risk their lives for Gardina."

"Yes, I will support our protectors as we stay here and wait for them to return."

"Great. And... did you do that?

"Here."

To Georg's words, Leesia, the samurai, advances from behind. In his hand, he has a folded cloth.

And the moment Leesia spread it on her desk, she cheered indoors.

"Ooh!! This is our..."

"You represent us in a way that makes sense."

"Yeah, it comes from a bit of that... hopefully one day it will be a positive color"

The cloth, on which everyone speaks so spontaneously, features a design conceived by Georg and others.

Color-coded into two colors, up and down, it is dyed white at the top and red at the bottom, with a dragon at the center, with eleven stars arranged around it to surround the dragon.

The red below shows the blood that has been shed so far.

White above, the freedom built on blood.

The dragon in the center has a Georg who built the Gardina.

The eleven stars that float around make up the present Gardina, the number of species that support Georg.

That is.

Werewolves.

Tiger tribe.

Rubies.

Rat people.

Sheep tribe.

Bears.

Panthers.

Fox Nation.

Elves.

Dwarves.

Dragonut.

This is the eleven species.

In addition, the two colors of red and white are slightly more common as a distribution, and this is also an indication of the will to build the blood that has been shed, commensurate with it, not above it, freedom and happiness.

"This will be our flag for the future. To all who dwell in this city, to those whose names are unknown to come, and to whom we have been dishonored, shall we show their dignity, their free will, their lives, and their trampled human beings? Let us burn our readiness, our life, our will, with this flag, behind its head."

In Georg's words, those who were on the spot raise their pneumonia.

Soon, the curtain of the struggle is about to rise for those who have been thrown into the darkness of history.
