It is midnight on the shore. Dozens of boats have landed there, one after another, without a sound. It was not a normal situation to have a ship come alongside in such strong winds and high waves. However, even though the waves were high and the wind was blowing strongly, it was a tailwind, so they decided to launch the ship onto the beach and forced it to come alongside.

The boats arrived one after another as they were launched onto the beach. Immediately after that, a great number of soldiers appeared on the battlefield and went ashore. Needless to say, this was the army of the Church of Crimea, led by Cassel himself, numbering about 70,000 men.

Cassel appeared on the ship, blocking the wind with his hand and looking at the soldiers assembled below. He nods his head in satisfaction, then quickly raises his gaze and looks into the distance. This was an area called Army in the Kingdom of Thana, where there was a small fishing village. There was a reason why they had landed 70,000 soldiers in such a place.

He wanted to use this army to raid the capital of the Kingdom of Tana. Sister Vieille is definitely in the capital. He could not take his time if he did not want her to escape. We must raid the capital and surround it at a speed she would not expect. So he took advantage of this stormy weather to move his army.

He was originally good at "check and improve" and had studied the tactics of King Ville of Tana. He had accurately analyzed its strength as a lightning-fast blitzkrieg. However, this strategy was only possible with the help of the transfer technique of the fox Haze, aka Octa, and under normal circumstances, it would have been extremely difficult to keep the marching soldiers hidden, no matter how hard they tried.

Cassel's plan was to hide in the shadows of the night and to increase the speed of the march to the utmost limit. In this area, stormy winds always blow at the right time of the year. Knowing that they often blow toward the east, he had hidden his soldiers on the continent just to the west of the continent where the kingdom of Tana was located, looking for an opportunity to launch a sortie. As expected, the winds began to pick up two days prior to the attack, and a storm blew in the day before.

It was expected to be extremely difficult to sail at night in the storm and high waves, but the excellent soldiers overcame these difficulties with their excellent maneuvering skills. Thanks to this, the operation was carried out unexpectedly smoothly, with only one ship being sunk.

Cassel was growing confident in his plan. Perhaps Sister Vieille would not have expected the army of Crimiana to have landed in an army village near the capital. In fact, they have been able to land there without any attack from Tana's side and without bloodshed. So far, the situation is as expected. Then we will raid the capital and surround it so that not even an ant can get out, and capture the sister. After capturing her, we can go to .......

As Cassel had predicted, it was the army of the New Climiana cult that was encamped on the hill, and it was Vieille who was leading it. The enemy had only about half the number of men of the Crimiana army, but they were deployed in a formation on both sides, as if they were surrounding Cassel and his men.

He was certain of one thing. Confidence that he would never die. ....... Cassel had been attacked many times before. One time he was stabbed with a sword, another time he was shot through with a bow and arrow. But each time, his body has healed and kept him alive. It was thanks to the wards put up by the king of Agartha, Linos, and Cassel was not unaware of them, but he had survived so many near-death experiences that his fear of death had become less intense.

In front of the hill where Vieille's main camp was located, there was a field of soot, but underneath the field was a pond of deep mud. The soldiers were stuck there, soaked in mud up to their waists, and unable to move. When Cassel heard this report, he clicked his tongue and immediately gave an order to his followers.

However, contrary to Cassel's expectation, the army of Crimiana could not reach the main camp of Vieille, no matter how hard they attacked. Whenever they tried to attack the main line, Vieille's army would try to break the formation by attacking their flanks, and Cassel and his men had to fight their way forward against these enemies.

The soldiers of Crimiana's army, their feet caught in the deep mud, are helplessly falling down. Vieille, who had been watching with a look of satisfaction on her face, suddenly looked at the place where Cassel, whom she had just killed, had fallen. He continues to stare at Vieille with his eyes wide open. But there was no light in his eyes anymore.
