Near the Louria-Qua-Toyne Border

The Campgrounds of the Vanguard Force of the Louria Kingdom's Eastern Conquest Army

There were repetitive magic communication messages from the Qua-Toyne Principality's Foreign Ministry, to demand that the soldiers be withdrawn from the border.

But they were completely ignored. It was as if they were completely determined to wage a war.

"Tomorrow, Luska will fall."

Adem, who was appointed to lead the vanguard force, was talking to a communication operator.

From the top of a hill, they were looking at the 30,000 strong army that was spreading underneath their very eyes.

A 30,000 strong army was by no means a large one considering the total amount of soldiers that the Louria Kingdom had, but it was more than enough for waging a single battle. Even if it was just a vanguard force, Adem had been given a command, and so, he eerily smiled.

20,000 infantry,ust 5,000 heavy infantry, 2,000 cavalry, 1,500 specialized soldiers (soldiers that were specialized for siege armaments like catapults or battering rams), 1,000 raiders, 250 monster users, 100 magicians, and then 150 Wyverns. Going just by the numbers, the infantry was the largest group, but a squadron of 10 Wyverns could stop the track of 10,000 infantry soldiers. Furthermore, there were 150 Wyverns in this force.

He could see how much his country was expecting from this vanguard force. Adem, who was aware of the weight of the mission upon him, rather than feeling nervous, his happiness outweighed it even more.

Wyverns were an expensive weapons. If every wyvern possessed by the Louria Kingdom were gathered at one place, it would only number 200 units.

However, 500 wyverns would participate in the current war against the Qua-Toyne Principality.

There was a rumor that the Parpaldia Empire had given them military support. Nobody below General Pandor, who supervised the ground troops, knew if this was true. After all, there was no coat of arms in the wyverns' armor, so there was no way to identify them, other than through speculation.

In any case, 150 wyverns were assigned to the vanguard force. Adem was pleased with this clearly overpowered force.

"What we should do about the booty in Luska? "

Albeit frightened, the communication operator asked Adem, who was still sporting a savage smile.

Adem was a ruthless knight and his cruelty, that he had showed in the occupied territory when the Louria kingdom started the aggressive wars, was also widely-known amongst the soldiers.

"I won't reprimand any plundering at Luska, they can do what they like. They could have fun with the women, but after they have finished using them, they must dispose of every single one. Don't let a single one leave the town alive. Notify this to the entire army."

The operator's face stiffened.

"Yes, Sir..."

He turned his back as if to flee, but Adem stopped him.

"No, wait! As expected... They could have fun with them, but leave 100 of them alive. They could spread the fear... Then, if there are any families of the enemy Knights in the city, deal with them as cruelly as possible."

Adem continued to laugh creepily.

"Now, let the feast of extermination begin!"

"Yes, Sir! I will notify this."
