An emergency meeting was being held at the headquarters of the Imperial Army, where the army that had sortied was literally wiped out.

"What the hell is ......? "

"I don't know, but I can tell you one thing, it's not the kingdom we know."

"I'm  sure it's a nightmare. ......!"

"What do we do now? What am I supposed to tell His Majesty? If you tell him what happened he'll never understand!"

"You can't just say it's a fact. ......"

"Oh! What am I supposed to do, ......?"

"Shouldn't we be dealing with the Kingdom's armed forces instead of worrying about what to report to His Majesty?"

"I'm aware of that. But what should we do? I thought they were only good with swords and magic, but I didn't know they were capable of such tricks !

"Wait. Could Charlotte Grinde have something to do with this?"

 I've heard that Charlotte Grinde is very obsessed with Leolde Herbst.

"Oh, yes, indeed! That would make sense!"

 The upper echelons of the imperial army, without even bothering to investigate, decided to blame Charlotte, who was believed to be strongest in the kingdom. They thought that the emperor would be satisfied if they  report so.

 However, nothing has been done to solve the root of the problem. It was a good idea to say that it was Charlotte's work, but there was no way to solve the problem.

 All  they had to do was to attack with the violence of numbers, but  they have lost that advantage as well. They are considering retreating, but the emperor will not be silent if  they run away with  their tails between our legs against a kingdom of a lower rank.

"But what to do? We can't defeat them if Charlotte Grinde is involved."

 Everyone shut their mouths at those words.   They  can't attack, much less retreat. Just when it seemed that there was nothing that could be done, Zephyr, who had remained silent until now, appeared at the meeting.

"I'll take  care of Charlotte Grinde."

 As if a ray of light shone through the cloudy sky, the faces of the executives in the meeting cleared up.

"Oh! If the guardian  god of the empire, Lord Zephyr, can make a move, then we can concentrate on the kingdom army!:

"Yes! We will be  able to win !

"Hmm! If we deploy our remaining forces, we will be able to attack Fort Ze'at at once!"

 When they heard that one of the guardian gods of the empire, the Zephyr of Disasters Wind, the empire's strongest fighting force, was going to make a move, the executives naturally got excited. The fact that they already feel like they've won, even though they just lost, is proof of that.

 Zephyr looks at them with cold eyes.

(They're so stupid. They don't want to see the reality.)

 (Well, it can't be helped. We've lost almost half of our army  at once. I can understand why they don't want to look at it .

 (I'm not sure if pointing it out will change their minds. )

It would have been his role to do so, but Zephyr remembered that he had betrayed the previous emperor out of personal feelings, and he felt that he was not qualified to do so, so he left the place without saying anything.

 Zephyr entered his own tent that had been prepared for him and began to meditate. he was concentrating on the fight against Charlotte.

 Everything is for tomorrow.

 On the other hand, the kingdom's army, which had won without any sacrifice, should have been in a banqueting mood, but they were also in a gloomy mood.

 In fact, it might be worse than the Empire. The reason for this was probably the magic circle that Leolde  and  co  had devised. Not only did it overturn a battle that had been in deep defeat, but it also caused fear in many people.

 Even allies, the Kingdom Army, recognized that the magic was too vicious. They were horrified at the thought of it being used against them.

 They want to say that this will not happen, but it depends on the future of the kingdom. It's just a matter of the kingdom not being disloyal to LeoldE in the future.

 As long as the kingdom does not treat Leolde  dishonestly in the future, Leolde  will not have any complaints as long as he is given a fair reward for his achievements.

 Leoldoes top priority is to survive, but he is currently focusing on the development of Zeat, so if the kingdom rewards Leolde's efforts, Leolde will never betray them .

 However, if it is too bad,  they would like to see what kind of measures Leolde  will take.

 In that case, there is no doubt that Charlotte and Leolde 's men will go wild.

"The threat is over for now. The Imperial Army has lost a lot of  men in this battle. They've probably seen our strength as well. They will probably either call for reinforcements or retreat."

"So, there will be no movement for a while?"

"Yes. It's a good idea to stay alert and get some rest."

What?"

 For the time being, the kingdom will not mention Leorde and will concentrate only on the imperial army. Although not as Baynard expected, the kingdom's army will have a rest in between.

 At night, Baynard stood on the watchtower of Fort Ze'at. There were other guards, but Baynard made them move back.

 And while Baynard was staring at the imperial position in the night wind, Barbaroto came to the watchtower.

"You're here?"

"I've been summoned. What can I do for you?"

"Did you know about  what hppend during the day?

 The daytime thing that Baynard was referring to was the magic circle that Leolde  and co developed. 

"I knew about it, but I don't know any of the details The development of these things was done by Leolde, Rudolph, and Charlotte alone.

"I see. ......."

 So, Barbaroto. What do you think of Leolde?

"He is a pleasant person to look at. He may have gone astray in the past, but he is a fine man now"

 "Besides, he' s the one who even prepared a wedding for a simple knight like me."

"You're right, .......

  I'm sorry I asked you such a nonsensical question.'

"No, it's fine. It is understandable that Commander Baynard is worried. But don't worry. Master LeoLde will remain   at Commander Baynard's side as long as there is no hostility.

"I'm sure he will. That's the kind of man he is."

 Th"at's how he is. I'm getting scared too. We've crossed swords."

"You can't help it., after what he showed . But we all know that., don't we, that Master Leolde always goes beyond our imagination."

"Oh, yes. That's right."

 Baynard reminded himself as he crossed swords in the tournament. That Leolde is not such a small man of capacity.
