Rudolph was not happy with the quick ending. It was because he wanted more actual data on the multi-legged mobile turret. But he hadn't expected  them to lose  their will to fight and raise the white flag after just one  fire .

 However, looking at the results alone, the damage to the kingdom was small. A few idiots got ahead of themselves, but apart from that, the damage to the kingdom was almost negligible.

 On the other hand, what about the Empire? Although they led a large army, they suffered many casualties, and in the end, most of them were taken prisoner.

 Incidentally, Baynard personally sailed to the command center and seized the executives. At that time, the empire was in a panic when they were informed that Baynard, the kingdom's greatest warrior, was heading for the imperial camp.

 Most of the troops were taken prisoner, and the remaining troops were not enough to hold Baynard back, and they lost the battle.

"It's boring ....... This war has been both good and bad."

 This war, for better or worse, was too much of a shock for Baynard. In the past, it had been fought mainly by sword and magic.

 This time, however, they had activated a magic circle from inside the fort, a battle that overturned the kingdom's history of using scientific weapons like the empire.

 Of course  it was  not  bad idea, because if  they lost,  they would either die or be subjugated. They could have even killed  them all in order not to leave a root of evil.

 But if  that was right  thing to do, Baynard can't give a clear answer on that question .

 But it was the kingdom that won. Then, there is nothing to be ashamed of. He should proudly deliver the victory report to the capital. Then the people will praise the kingdom's army and the nobles will be very happy.

"Post-war processing."

 The victory is not the end. They have to clean up after  it . In particular, the treatment of prisoners of war and demands to the empire. Well, since most of the executives are noblemen, they will demand a ransom.

 This is a job for civil servants, not Baynard.

 The reason why  he is sighing is because  he is thinking about  what to to with the families of the knights who died in this war.

 Although they won the war, there were many casualties due to the outburst of some nobles.

 The responsibility lies with the nobles, but as the leader of the army, Baynard must show his sincerity to the families of the dead knights.

 He doesn't think it's a bother. As a knight commander, Baynard has taken care of many knights. I

 This is why reporting to the families  is the hardest  thing  that a young knight has died in the midst of  ambitions, no matter how many times you  doing it.

 Sometimes they even blame  him .  with "Why didn't you help us? Why didn't you protect them ?"

 It is unreasonable, but no one can control their emotions when they lose someone important. That's why  they direct anger to something else.

 Even if it is a completely unrelated person.

"If only I'd said something a little more forceful at the time.

 It is useless to talk about "ifs" and "buts. There is nothing anyone can do to change what has already happened.

 While Baynard was busy dealing with the aftermath of the war, Charlotte, who was relaxing in mansion, noticed that the war was over.

"Hmm. Well, I guess it's only natural. In fact, if we are defeated after having prepared so well, we will never be able to defeat the Empire".

 "Anyway, I pity Leolde. If he had stayed, he would have surely won."

 Charlotte, who was elegantly sipping her tea, chuckled as she thought about LeoldE, who was probably fighting in the Imperial Capital right now.

abelle, who was standing close by, poured tea into the empty cup and asked Charlotte a question.

"Can you see far into the distance?

"Yes,  i can. Well, through a messenger. But if  that  too far away,  I can't .

 As she said, Charlotte could see distant events through the messenger, but not if the distance was too great. In fact, when Leolde revived the transference magic, she was able to identify his name and location , but not his face.

 This was due to the distance between  them . If  she  was a little closer,  she would have been able to identify Leolde's face. As expected of the world's best mage . Not only does she have a wide range of knowledge, but she can also handle information in real time, which is terrifying.

"So, can you find out what's going on with  lord Leolde  now?

"It's difficult because it's a long way from here to the Imperial Capital. Well, I could if I wanted .

 In other words, Charlotte was now single-handedly watching the war. When Isabelle noticed this fact, she thought she would shudder, but there was no particular reaction.

"I see. So you can see it if you want ,  you can .

"Well, yes. Do you want to know?"

"No, I'm not worried about it. Just ......."

"Just?'

"I was afraid the princess might ask if she knew.

"Oh, sure. I'm sure she' will "

Knowing that Leolde  was heading to his death , she couldn't stay even if s he was there, and she lend an intelligence servants  under the direct control of the royal family.

 The danger was about to come to Sylvia.
