After a long night, a knight comes running into Baynard's office. Seeing the knight in a state of great agitation, Baynard calls out to him, 

" What's going on?

"I'm sorry, sir! Some of them disregarded the order and went out!

"I see. ......"

 he thought he would be more  angry , but Baynard was calm, as if he knew that will happen . The knight, who tilted his head to the side, asked Baynard.

"Aren't you surprised?"

"Hmm? I knew that some of them were dissatisfied with the discussions the other day. I knew they were going to do something, so I'm not that surprised."

 "I'd rather ask, how many knights went out to battle?"

"Five hundred, sir."

(Hmm ...... only private army? If it's just the commander, I don't mind leaving him to die, but I can't waste the time Barbaroto and the others made for the knights who were forced to  go with him.)

 After thinking for a while, Baynard decided to send out reinforcements. If it were a matter of fact,  they could just cut him off for violating orders, but  they can't waste the time that Barbaroto and the other knights earned by being taken by an incompetent commander.

 Baynard instructed the knights to go to the rescue.

The battle had already begun, and some of the out-of-control kingdom troops were surrounded by the imperial army.

"It seems that yesterday's troops were the kingdom's trump card. As far as these guys are concerned, they're probably not the enemy."

"Commander! We've confirmed troops that appear to be reinforcements from the fort!

" How big are they?"

"A brigade, sir.

"That's a bit of a hassle to deal with. I think we should pull out. We've had enough. The Kingdom Army is nothing to be afraid of. That's all I need to know."

 When the Imperial Army saw Baynard's reinforcements from Fort Ze'at, they immediately broke the siege and withdrew to their positions. Baynard was puzzled by the situation, but his priority was to rescue his allies.

 Protecting those who survived, Baynard turned back to the fort. Unfortunately, the number of survivors was less than a hundred.

 And many of the survivors were demoralized and  can't fight.

 The commander who had caused this situation was lucky  was alive, but he was held responsible and deported back to the capital. The commander who had ignored orders and caused so many deaths would be sentenced to life in prison at best, or death at worst.

 When Baynard told him this, he sank into a deep reverie, but since it was his own fault, there was no one to comfort him.

 While the Kingdom Army was in an uproar, the Imperial Army was rejoicing at the good news.

"Hahahaha! So the  their Army had played their trump card after all! Then there's nothing to be afraid of!"

 "If we push them with our numbers, our victory will be as good as decided."

"That's right. Apparently, the kingdom's army played their trump card from the start to prevent us from advancing!"

 "We've been  trapped up well, but there's nothing to fear now. Now all we have to do is lay waste to them."

"Hmmm. I have to thank the idiot. I didn't expect him to tell me about the current state of the kingdom's army. I want to reward him for it. Hahahahahahaha!"

 This convinced the Imperial Army. The imperial army is now convinced that no one other than the troops from the other day are an enemy to the royal army. With this, the policy was decided.

 "We will attack the fortress with overwhelming force. This way, no matter how good the magic swordsmen are, they will be overrun by the overwhelming numbers."

 Once that was decided, it was time to move on. The Imperial Army began to prepare for tomorrow. Unlike the other day, they were about to show the Kingdom Army the overwhelming difference in strength.

 At the same time, the kingdom Army was also aware of the Imperial Army's move and held a meeting.

"I'm sure that the imperial army is now aware of our strength."

"So what do we do now?"

"Is there any plan?"

"Currently, our only option is to hunker down. However, if the imperial army attacks with more  forces than the other day,......, we will not be able to hold out much longer.

 Everyone looked down at those words. This was it. The time that Barbaroto and the others had earned was now wasted. Even if they wanted to blame someone, that person had already been forcibly sent back to the royal capital by the transfer magic circle.

"Commander Baynard. May I spoke up ?

"Barbaroto. I don't mind. If you have something to say, say it."

"Yes! Then I will say it without hesitate."

 "Master Leolde has ordered me to call a certain man in case we run out of options. May I call him?"

"Yes. go ahead , but what kind of person is this man?

 "If he's one of Leolde's men, I can trust him. ......?

"Don't worry. He is a subordinate of Master Leolde.

"I see. But I don't know anyone except you and Jex."

"...... In a word, I'd say he's the second most dangerous person after Lady Charlotte."

"What? Is there such a person under Leolde's command?

"Yes. But I'm sure he's a reassuring ally."

"Hmmm. I understand. Bring him  here."

"Yes!"

 A short time later, Barbaroto brought in a white clothed man, white and slender. He looked so good that I wanted to ask him if he was taking proper care of himself.

  He wondered if he was really the kind of person that  he  was talking about. He also wonders if he is the most strongest person after Charlotte.
