—“General! Are you insane?”

“I understand what you mean, but do you see any potential holes in this operation?”

At a strategy meeting the next day, Daniel presents the strategy.

The strategy of that insane and devilish idea.

“There’s nothing but holes! I can’t let them cross the border.. because.. because.”

But the words don’t last.

The other great generals in control of the troops at the strategy meeting were also preoccupied with the rough-and-tumble.

“There isn’t one. Yes, There are no holes in this crazy, seemingly hole-filled idea.”

“But it’s too dangerous to go through the border! If we can get over here..”

“But we’ve got three days to go. If we defend it, we’ll just die.”

“Yes, that’s true, but..”

“Then we should do it. What’s the point of desperately protecting a dying body? Even if we are going to die, let’s die fighting. Do you want to die with your back to the enemy?”

“—”

And then the most powerful man in the place, the supreme commander, opened his mouth.

“Daniel. Just for the record, whose strategy is this?”

“.. my nephew. The child’s imagination is frightening, isn’t it?”

“I beg your pardon? You’re putting the future of the EU in the hands of a child?”

“Of course, we have to scrutinise it as much as we can and make it more precise. But I see no problem.”

The High Commander is silent for a moment, thinking.

Then he looks up and opens his mouth.

“Alright. Daniel, we’ll go with this strategy.”

..

“What? Enemy, our border defences are thin? Or maybe they’ve already run away! Ha-ha-ha! Let the light shine on the Asgard Empire!”

The Asgard Empire forces broke through the border defenses, where resistance had weakened.

The commander in charge of the army, based a short distance from the border, smirks, and laughs.

This will earn me a medal from the Emperor, and I’m on the fast track to a successful career.

I can’t stop drooling when I imagine my bright future. Let’s buy a couple of top quality sex slaves. Let’s do that.

“Colonel Kuzuna! There’s an emergency call from the base!”

“What the hell, it’s a nice place.”

And Kuzuna picks up the receiver, his face pale at the call.

“Yes, this is Kuzuna, we’ve already crossed the border.. what? That’s ridiculous! Because the enemy is the enemy.. no way!”

Kuzuna turns to see a huge mountain range rising up beside him.

If the enemy had crossed it, they would not be caught on the search radar.

“Retreat, all troops! Defend the base immediately!”

—Oh no, Shit not good. If the base is destroyed, I will be held responsible for it.. worst of all.. beheaded?”

“What the hell are you doing! All of you! Call back everyone who crossed the border! I don’t care about the ranks, each of you return to your bases as fast as you can!”

Kuzuna’s orders were the lowest of the low.

They were below the level of a commander’s orders, and that’s because he was a mere baronet.

A commander who is only in charge of troops because of his aristocratic family background.

Of course, he graduated from military school with good grades.

However, he was a commander with little experience on the battlefield who could only give manual instructions.

So, imagining that he would be held responsible and be beheaded, he rushed to break formation and bring his troops back.

Even though this would lead to even worse consequences.

***

“Daniel-san! We have successfully raided the enemy base! We can temporarily occupy it as it is!”

“Yes, and the troops across the border are heading for the base like spiders! There’s no line of command here!”

Daniel receives a report in the control room that the operation is a success over the communications.

“Alright! Then, all troops charge! Keep up the pincer attack! Cut the damn lizard’s tail off from every side!”

And all the troops defending the border turn around and go on the offensive.

One by one, they annihilate the rear of the fleeing enemy units with their stretched ranks, one by one, by sheer numbers.

***

“Colonel Kuzuna! The troops behind are under attack!”

“No matter! As long as everyone returns to base, we have the superior force! We can regroup!”

Kuzna rushes towards the base.

The Asgard base, which had sent almost all of its troops to the front, had almost no strength.

They were also caught off guard and not ready to intercept.

The EU KOG forces surprise the base, where there are even soldiers feasting on alcohol, if anything.

The base’s Asgard forces were quickly destroyed, not even giving the KOGs time to launch.

However, the gap in strength was supposed to be enough to be recovered as soon as frontline troops returned.

“Is this it? There must have been a hundred of them.. why did they come back from the front?”

But by the time they reached the base, the troops who had been continuously attacked from behind had already lost almost half of their forces.

“Colonel Kuzuna.. that was..”

And in front of them, the base was occupied.

The EU flag flying, and the KOG pointing its muzzle at us.

And behind us is a large force of EU troops.

“..”

The manual man is now unable to do anything other than the manual.

He could not think of any strategy that would allow him to recover from this situation.

“Your Majesty the Emperor.. sorry.”

And his career path ends here.

He gave a heavy blow to Asgard, and even his life.

“A great victory!!! Well done Rhode!!!!!!!”

That evening.

Hearing about the success of the mission, Daniel opens a bottle of wine for the first time in a long time and hugs happily together with Rhode and Scarlett.

“You won! Uncle!”

“Oh, I’ve already won too! I’ve never had a victory like that before! I love you!”

“Uncle, my beard hurts! You smell of alcohol!”

“Kiss me, *Checks Rub*! Ha-ha-ha!”

“Oh, gosh, you’ve had so much to drink.. but I’m really glad..”

“Ah, it was really good. Thanks again, Rhode!”

“Yeah!”

Pleased, Daniel pats Rhode on the head and kisses him.

He feels better after a glass of wine made by Scarlett.

The day was a great victory. A victory that could not have been better, the border, which was in danger of being pushed back, and a great blow to the enemy.

From that day onwards, Daniel lets Rhode into strategy meetings and listens to him.

The High Commander, who was clutching at straws, at least agreed to sit in with the boy who had proposed the strategy idea.

However, everyone thought that the plan was just a coincidence of a child’s innocent idea.

However, this perception soon changed.

Because all of the devilish ideas that Rhode proposed, one after another, were wonderful and astonishing.

Based on these, Daniel and his team draw up a plan of action.

The plans still have their rough edges, but veteran soldiers’ careful shaping sublimates them into impeccable plans.

All battles were won and won again, and only this region, the northern part of the EU, did not allow any retreat, but rather pushed on.

In this series of battles, Rhode’s talents as a commander and strategist blossomed.

***

“Why is it only in that area that we keep getting so many defeats!!!!”

The 99th Emperor of the Asgard Empire, Orgor Asgard, was frustrated.

He is already over 60 years old and the Most Powerful of Asgard.

The most selfish person in the world, who hates more than anything else not being able to have his way.

“That-, I don’t know, but I have received reports that they were all pushed through with bizarre strategies..”

The reporting civilian officer sweats as he reports the defeat.

He understands that if he is even slightly offended, he will lose his own head.

Even though he has won all the battles except for that area, somehow there is an area where he keeps losing, and his report has been met with the emperor’s disapproval.

—Are you saying that there is even an excellent commander.. but with just a strategy.. What kind of an outstanding person is he.

“Excuse me. To report.. sorry, I’ll come back.”

Then a soldier enters.

He was a young Sieg, in his late twenties, in age.

He tries to leave the room to come back out, as the other soldier was in the middle of reporting.

“Oh! It’s Sieg! You’ve returned well. Good, good, come here! I hear you crushed an another base. You’ll get another medal.”

“Only with everyone’s help. Your Majesty, I couldn’t have done it alone..”

The young Sieg, who wanted to be known as the strongest young man in the world.

He is a favorite of the emperor, who loves the strong and trusts him.

“hahaha, you should be more arrogant, that’s the only flaw you have. No. Maybe that’s why you’re so strong. Yes, So. Sieg, I have a favor to ask of your Holy Knight troops.”

“I beg your pardon?”

“I want you to reorganise the Holy Knight Corps and there is a place I want you to head for. Yes, gather 100 Holy Knights.”

“Is that.. drop them in the country? I have to gather almost all the Holy Knights who are in each battlefield..”

“No problem. There’s an area where there’s a bit of resistance. It’s right here on the map.”

The emperor points to the map, and Sieg frowns at him.

It’s clearly too small a place for a 100-strong force to target – the Holy Knights of the Empire.

“It seems somewhat excessive, but.. if your majesty commands it.”

“We must show our strength. We can’t be underestimated. So, please, Sieg.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

And so the Empire’s most powerful troops were formed.

With Sieg as their ace, they are a collective force made up of men who are just as powerful as he is.

An invincible army of the strongest men from the strongest countries in the world set out.

“Our target is defending the northern borders of the EU! With the whole army!”

The place that only one boy had defended, the place he wanted to protect.

“Eradicate!”

To take.
