in the heart of a once- thriving Community chaos erupts as flames eat everything in their path among the destruction there is a knight on the doorsteps of a mansion He seems to be desperately holding on to a baby suddenly a strange voice shatters the silence he reaches out with his hand the Sinister voice Echoes again this time he asks himself if he wants to eat the baby eating the baby is not what he desires there are many other dark and mysterious figures standing around the baby the owner of the voice seems to be their leader he stands all and imposing and you can vaguely make out its human-like shape the creature admits that he simply wants to observe it a little he claims that he will let the baby do what it wants but his wish is to observe it until its bad habits appear the creature leans closer to the baby and his Aura causes the ladder to wake up as soon as the baby sees what's in front of it an innocent smile crawls across its face the creature is impressed by the behavior and comments that it is unexpected there are stains of the knight's blood all over the baby and a mysterious pendant around its neck eventually the figure finds it impossible to resist the urge and holds the baby in his arms the sun rises and sets and seasons change until it is the year 998 the canary highway is being guarded by the Imperial Army or at least they claim so the canary Highway guard supervisor Captain Samuel and his goons are exploiting the merchants by confiscating their belongings after accusing them of smuggling food from the Southland into the kingdom Samuel catches a glimpse of a beautiful silver-haired girl carrying an elegant looking Sword and the creepy smile on his face shows that he thinks he has hit a jackpot he tells his new new recruit to go and inspect the girl he calls out to her but the girl doesn't respond this hurts his ego and he forcefully makes her turn and grabs her by the shirt apparently the entire area is under the Empire's control he asks her how she couldn't tell that he isn't some lower ranked Kingdom's Knight but an Empire soldier with a clueless expression on her face the girl claims that his armor looks rather generic and it would be nice if she had a book to tell soldiers apart by their armor the sarcasm and her tone seem to have impressed Samuel he laughs and claims that she must be very courageous to stand at her ground the girl simply yawns and decides to leave Samuel stops her and apologizes for a subordinates behavior he then asks her why she's headed to the Royal Capital with that Splendid sword when she doesn't respond he claims that dangerous beasts are prowling the area so she should allow him to escort her she tells him that she desires to be a soldier of the furnest kingdom and politely asks them to leave her alone the news hits the soldiers like an unexpected pie in the face and their mouths hang open wider than a Hungry Hippo ready to catch flies some even take that announcement as a disrespect to the Empire this new recruit thinks that this is a good opportunity to prove himself so he swings his sword at the girl there is a sound of something getting slash which is followed by pin drop silence the Soldier's hand which was holding the sword has been detached from his body and blood is oozing out of it even the victim himself is unable to process what just happened he looks at the girl and then looks at his arm or where the arm previously was the sight of blood reminds him of the excruciating pain he is feeling and he falls to the ground while yelling out loud Samuel looks at the girl and she appears as if she doesn't give a damn about what just happened everything happened in a Flash but the blood stains on her sword show that she is in fact the attacker since she was only defending herself you can't really blame her at this point but what she does next is jaw-dropping while the man is still writhing in pain she casually throws her sword towards him while making a comical sound the sword pierces the man's chest and blood bursts out from his mouth he breathes his last breath and the medicine girl walks up to him and nonchalantly withdraws her sword an important thing to note is that up until now her face has been utterly blank with not even a single hint of emotion on her face it's almost as if she's not human what she says next makes it even more bizarre she tells the remaining soldiers that humans are dumb and their language is too complicated she reminds them that she had already warned them to leave her alone so this guy's death isn't really on her head every Soldier unanimously steps forward and launches a unique attack on the girl except for Samuel he stands back and observes shockingly she's able to defend herself from every every single move she then announces that it is her turn to attack and now one second after that statement every Soldier becomes headless their heads fall to the ground as if they were mere objects those who weren't participating earlier run for their lives again except for Samuel even though every part of his body is trembling in fear he stands his ground and asks the girl for the identity of the person for whom she learned swordsmanship not only is her style unique but it is a baffling sight in and of itself that a girl is swinging swords quite skillfully at that too the the girl introduces herself as Olivia and reveals that her trainer is Zed our suspicions come true when it is revealed that Zed is the same creature who took the baby from the knight's hand in the beginning and Olivia is the same baby in question Olivia asks Samuel if he knows where Zed is but the latter responds that he has never heard of that name she then shows her intent to kill by claiming that it is good that he isn't running away because she isn't in the mood to chase either Samuel scoffs and claims that he is too confident to run away he is infamously known as Samuel of the violent thrust because of his aggressive fighting style he aims at her heart and lunges forward it doesn't take him long to share the same fate as his Fallen comrades in fact it only takes Olivia a mere second to achieve that her face is like an untouched marble devoid of any emotions but it makes more sense now given her background with zed that day the news spreads like wildfire and reaches the military base of the earth belt Empire the southern Commander osen is shocked to hear the news of Samuel's death the reporter explains that the surviving soldiers have become mentally Disturbed and claimed that it was done by a monstrous girl with a black sword another person who was also present in the meeting is their prime minister di armis it looks like he has mastered the art of looking creepy and his outfit is giving Halloween costume gone wrong Vibes his eyes are like twin black holes seemingly devoid of any light or warmth they have a knack for staring as intensely as if they can see right through your soul and read your deepest Secrets the Dude Looks like he has a subscription to a supernatural surveillance Network as soon as he hears that the girl has a black sword he instantly becomes becomes interested and asks for more details the aura around him turns dark as if something is moving all around him osen becomes anxious and intimidated and almost forgets how to breathe meanwhile Olivia is happily strolling towards the kingdom with blood stained clothes and a sack filled with the heads of her victims apparently Zed had told her once that humans become happy when they get the heads of their enemies she wants to become a volunteer Soldier and is assuming that if she givs the kingdom these heads they will be happy her EQ level is clearly not her flax but she can't be blamed for that either she strolls towards the Kingdom's Fortress and hopes that the heads won't rot until she reaches the capital a flashback shows the day Zed told Mini Olivia that she is a living being called human he revealed that he is called the god of death and his purpose is harvesting human Souls with an innocent twinkle in her eyes Olivia asked him if he would reap her soul too Zed explained that he couldn't reap her soul anymore because she obtained a self His Kind only reaps Souls from people who haven't developed a self and from dead animals Olivia claimed that this is not what the book he gave her said Zed found her in a deserted Temple that stood in the middle of the forest it is called the Gate of the underworld he trained her there and only stayed by her side during observation such as training or study time he taught her sword fighting hand-to-hand combat languages magic strategy and ways to catch prey and cook them when one day she asked him the reason for learning ways to kill a human even though she was the only human around Zed laughed slightly and told her that she would understand one day one day after 15 years Zed suddenly disappeared he left her 11 a brilliant Red Jewel and a jet black sword covered in Dark Mist at the same time the peaceful era in the continent had ended 3 years ago the earth belt Empire's Emperor ruza declared the entire continent to Stand United against the neighboring country that had sent a large army luckily fernest Kingdom has been on the winning side and the next Battleground is suspected to be Fort Gaul meanwhile in Fort Gaul a guy named Ashton is anxious about how he's going to die soon as he has zero fighting experience out of the blue Olivia joins the table and starts eating she has never even smelled food she and Ashton talk for a while about eating as their Hobby and it looks like the god of death also taught Olivia how to RIS someone up because oh boy Ashton is blushing like crazy when she leaves a guy named Maurice tells Ashton that the girl he was just talking to is the warrant officer and she's rumored to have offered a bag of heads of Imperial soldiers as souvenirs to the hups Ashton recalls that she mentioned growing up in a temple he assumes that she must be one of the Mages who strike fear with their name Maurice's expression changes as as soon as he hears that information later that day he meets up with an intelligence agent who was also a lieutenant from the Imperial Army Xenon Maurice informs him that the Kingdom's Army has decided to strongly defend the fort and the soldiers are around 40,000 Xenon is taken aback when he hears Maurice's report on Olivia the fact that she lived in a temple is worrying them because it means that she could be a mage apparently Magic Died out in this era long ago suddenly a woman's voice calls out from behind them and she claims that she is not a mage it is none other than Olivia the heads Slayer Xenon has a face off with her initially the way he was introduced he appeared like an important part of the plot but the way Olivia dismembers her body it looks like he was just another side character Olivia smiles and claims that she loves the rain because it doesn't matter how much blood gets on her it always watches everything off Maurice runs for his life and then soon realizes that he can't run anymore because Olivia has sliced away his feet she claims that she always knew he was a spy and takes him as a prisoner of war Olivia drags mace's leg body and the lieutenant bodess head through the fortress's hallway Whispers erupt everywhere and everyone watches in horror Olivia is taken to the interrogation room and is interrogated by a gentent Otto after everything is cleared out she is told that she will get a reward for recognizing her accomplishments Olivia requests them to reward her with capitals bread as Ashton told her that they're the best this is where she finds out from the commander-in-chief Paul that cakes exists too suddenly the Assassin look on her face disappears and she becomes a child she even drops on terrifics which pisses off Otto and he insists that she must be taught etiquette when she leaves Otto keeps thinking about how a [ __ ] like her was to cut the spy's body in half like that he wonders if they can leave the abandoned operation that they had all been dreading in her hands in the year 998 the king alons decided to get back Fort Keel that he had lost previously he sends his finest troops headed by Invincible veteran General Cornelius however Paul believes that the decision isn't smart and has doubts if this will result in their success meanwhile in the Royal capitals conference room executive officer Lambert recommends that before attacking fort Keel they should recapture Fort Casper apparently the kingdom had been treating Fort Keel as old and abandoned by the enemy and realized its strategic value as a Forefront They seized Fort Keel in less than a month and they marched towards Fort Casper now they're using Fort Keel as a base for operations and are trying their best to capture Fort Galia Lambert explains that Fort Casper has a force of 50,000 whereas their own first Army has 25,000 and seventh Army has 30,000 soldiers together their strength is 55,000 this is why Lambert believes that it would be easy to quickly finish the battle everyone in the conference room Praises Lambert's Keen Insight except for one person adjutant nin halt General Cornelius too objects to the plan he claims that the king ordered Paul and his army to defend Fort Galia so the seventh Army won't foolishly move out Lambert insists that if they recapture Fort Casper they can draw a strong defensive line against Fort Galia Cornelius lowers his head and claims that he can't go against the king's wishes nin Hall thinks to himself that in the past Cornelius used to be held high but now old age has caught up with him the meeting is adjourned when Cornelius agrees on talking to the king however the report from Otto has been bothering ninal and he finds it hard to believe that a 15-year-old girl has butchered Samuel meanwhile Otto is having a meeting with Olivia the way she behaves clumsily and adorably simultaneously reminds Otto of her six-year-old daughter he tells Olivia that he has a special Duty for her and Olivia agrees to it without even listening to it first he explains that she has to recapture Fort Lambert which they had to abandon 10 years ago now it is a home to a group of Bandits apparently in the past they have sent platoon sized forces against these Bandits but all of them were beaten and killed by a veteran Bandit called The Long spear Bearer Olivia Smiles after the story is over and asks utto if he wants heads of his Bandits utto covers his mouth as if trying not to puke before leaving Olivia demands that her cake should be here by the time she returns the adorable Wicked swordsman is heading out for the sake of cake the platoon that is a to Olivia doesn't seem experienced they are 20 newbies with only 2 months of experience Ashton is part of the platoon and his usual pessimistic self is telling him that they will all soon meet their demise he begs Olivia to allow them to take a short break Olivia starts to panic because she knows she has poor people skills and isn't fit to be a commander when Ashton asks her about rations she gives the good news that she brought a lot of food the only problem is that she ate everything the last Ray of Hope then disappears for Ashton suddenly they are attacked by a horn lion the entire platoon runs away while begging for their Commander to take action Ashton despite being an obvious coward stands in front of Olivia to protect her Olivia comments that the monster doesn't look delicious at the speed of light she crosses Ashton and tells him that he is a funny guy the smile on her face disappears and her intent to kill is visible on her face she lunges forward and shoves her sword through the monster's brain Ashton notices that her sword is wrapped by a weird black fog after she kills the creature the platoon is in tears and they all praise her Olivia asks everyone to drop their honorifics and treat her as a friend Ashton tries to ask her what the momentary black haze around her sword was but before she could respond someone yells that the fort has been spotted they quickly enter the place and are surprised by the lack of Bandits Olivia grabs her subordinate sword and throws it far away the sword crashes into the victim's head and the enemy's location is revealed their leader introduces himself as wolf and claims that no one has ever left this place alive after witnessing Olivia's confidence he remarks that she is either a fool or very powerful he attacks her but she stops his Spear and reminds him that his weapon only works at long distances wolf surrenders but she apologizes and states that she has been ordered to kill Ashton watches in horror as she slashes the throat of every Bandit that had agreed to surrender one of the bandits at the fort is excited to mince the kingdom soldiers using his new sword but to his surprise he is the one that gets minced instead thanks to Commander Olivia's unmatched skills she spares no one not even the last Bandit alive that begged for Mur Mercy she was ordered to kill everyone and so she shall the last man sees death reflected in the girl's Shadow as well as her raised sword the bodies of Bandits lied scattered across the courtyard some still clutching their weapons others sprawled in Twisted lifeless poses pools of blood glisten on the ground and the walls are stained with the evidence of the brutality that just unfolded Olivia now hungry enjoys her food as she chills on one of the fort's walls and the soldiers bury the corpses the soldiers LW Olivia's bravery and think of themselves as pathetic since they couldn't Aid her in battle Ashton and the other soldiers decide to get training from their Commander afterwards to level up their combat skills for now they drink and cheer for their captain and their Valkyrie back at the Royal Army stronghold of Galia Olivia reports to her superiors exactly on time she counts down the seconds that Warren officer Olivia is there on time Colonel Otto is quick to shusher and general Paul takes over he apologizes for calling her so soon after returning from the mission but he is also curious about Fort lamberg's battle he asks Olivia about the famous Bandit with a spear and if she had any problems dealing with him Olivia quiets down and thinks for a minute but all she can remember is blood and that's it everyone dropped dead after the first attack there is a guy sitting beside Colonel Otto and Olivia has never seen him before his mouth is open and he is in a State of Shock the entire time however Olivia assumes that he must be imitating a fish now it's time for the real surprise and the reason why Olivia was called to the office General Paul has got her cakes from the kingdom and Olivia is in awe of the beauty of the cakes she thanks General Paul and grabs a piece wondering if the cake would melt her cheeks all while Colonel Otto shouts in the background asking her not to eat the cakes in the office however she couldn't care less as she eats the first piece and finds the cake sweet moist and super soft it is delicious and the best part is that her cheeks are still intact all right on to the next piece but halt Commander Otto is annoyed and infuriated at the girl's guts for eating cakes in the officer's room but Olivia recommends to him a doctor and figures out that he just wants a cake so she offers him one General Paul cuts off the infuriated Colonel who looks like he will murder Olivia any second now he asks Olivia to eat the cake in her room as they have something important to discuss at the moment The Fish Guy or nin heart finally speaks up and comments that Olivia is certainly one odd girl she was totally different from what he expected he had heard about her black sword and silver hair and assumed that she must be an ugly beast but she turned out to be a beautiful lady Colonel nart came to thank her for killing Samuel as she took revenge for his best friend but it slipped from his mind since he was busy imitating a f however nart finds a suitable Vice Commander for Olivia it is Officer Claudia young who reports to Duty with aotto as expected of him he tells the new girl that Olivia has problems with her manners and Common Sense Claudia's expectations stoop low as she walks towards Olivia's room expecting the worst she was handed over this Duty and nart didn't even bother to ask her for her consent Claudia fixes her hair and knocks on the door she introduces herself and Olivia acknowledges her presence and calls her in from the floor to the bed the entire room is SC with all kinds of books and Olivia is laying on her bed reading one of them the duo engages in a small conversation and Olivia turns back to her book after introducing herself with a cheeky smile Claudia is burning with rage and she leaves the room because Olivia comes off super weird to her Olivia's love for books comes from Zed's teachings the prime difference between humans and animals is knowledge and hence the temple was full of all kinds of books for Olivia to learn from she wonders where Zed must be right now because she is waiting eagerly for him to return at the furnace kingdoms leesti Fort Commander Cornelius is suggesting to the king a plan to take down Fort Casper the king thinks that the Commander's decision to merge platoon and fight is simply outrageous but cornelius's response is simply to quit the military if the king doesn't listen to his words anymore and the King doesn't want distress in the Kingdom at such crucial times so he has no option but to agree to the suggestions Cornelius has brought the first platoon will merge with the seventh platoon and continue along the Canaria to invade the enemy territory on the other hand the Imperial Army is setting up a plan to tackle the Army marching towards their Fort Casper according to reports they will be up against an army of 50,000 men and the strategist Paris seems quite concerned but General George is ambitious and couldn't care less about numbers he believes that their Manpower is unmatched the destination to meet the seventh platoon is also decided the armies will meet at the iris plane but Paris still suggests getting some reinforcements ready George gets fired up at paris's defensive strategies but Paris can't help it he has to be cautious because it's been a long time since the last big war people are bloodthirsty now the commander calms down everyone and they finally come to a decision and cheer their final drink before the battle the next morning all of the 50,000 enemy soldiers head to the iris plane at the Lamberg Fort they send soldiers bit by bit and manag to Garrison about 5,000 soldiers there Olivia as the commander of the special Squad of the United Army brought alongside her 3,000 cavalries and snuck into the ark great Forest Claudia the vice Commander is on a horse right beside Olivia and seems highly alert she keeps moving her head around to look for anything to suspicious her focus is broken by a sudden heavy tap on her shoulder by Olivia she asks her Vice Commander to calm down and lower her guard because being so tense is just a waste of her beautiful face Claudia comments that Olivia's compliment sounds like nothing more than a grudge because she herself is Dro dead gorgeous plus the fact that she's riding a horse that is known for being hard to tame Olivia shushes her and says that horses are just quiet creatures ratting the ugly unicorn proved much more difficult for her when she was a child Claudia finds it hard to believe that a little girl would be able to ride a monster like that but Olivia's cuteness says otherwise there's no way she will lie about anything that is when she stands on top of her horse and performs a stunt to demonstrate the quietness of a horse the soldiers are impressed and Claudia is only concerned she reminds the commander that they are in the middle of an operation and also she is the commander of the United Army of 3,000 men Olivia just got scolded by her Vice commander who was simply trying to read what's going through her mind maybe being completely relaxed is the way to keep your army relaxed too nervousness won't won't take anyone anywhere Olivia and her army strategy focuses on a surprise attack when the kingdom and the Empire will be fighting in the iris plain they will attack from the great Ark Forest then they will work together with the Kingdom's main Squad and charge at the Imperial soldiers this daring plan aims to destroy the enemy in one Fell Swoop warrant officer Olivia will take the enemy's head secretly while Claudia will lead Olivia in her Duty Claudia keeps getting nervous and feels weirded out by the mood in the military she has never seen a commander act like Olivia and H the uneasiness all she keeps talking about is food ugly unicorns and asking her soldiers to rest one of the soldiers from the Army comments that during Fort lamberg's recapture Mission they had worked together with Olivia at that time they could only stand there trembling but now they have changed after Olivia's training this time they will be useful Claudia finds them naive because they are not nearly strong enough yet but Olivia is always one step ahead because she says whatever comes to her mind she goes ahead and comments that everyone should stay weary as they are not strong enough yet especially Ashton he might get killed the moment he drops his guard boy is putting in all his efforts but is still not strong enough Claudia thinks that he is more suited to be a strategist and his morale goes up but she adds that he has never won against her so the morale drops in a split second as the soldiers laugh Claudia notices Olivia's friendship with the new Soldier Ashton as well as her leadership abilities just who is this girl that seems amazing at whatever she does the Kingdom's Army stands ready for battle with Paul at the front he understands the huge responsibility that has been put on the shoulders of Olivia and calls her the war Maiden in front of the army the scary War General Paul feared by the biggest armies seems like an oldie boasting about his granddaughter the southern Imperial Army led by oswan has arrived at Iris plain to intercept the seventh platoon the king's Army headed by General Paul arrives one day later in the vast Iris plane two strong armies in shiny armor stand in front of each other horses stamp their feet their Riders holding Spears and swords ready for battle the armies respective Flags flutter in the breeze marking each side the air buzzes with tension as both armies locked in Tradition and bravery stand prepared for the blood bath the battle is initiated by the armored Cavalry charging in thus the Battle of Iris plane begins Commander George heads right in and kills multiple men from the enemy as he shouts downgrading remarks at them a few minutes into the battle the Empire's Vice Commander Silas notices that the enemy is retreating the commander devilishly Smiles as see understood the enemy's game plan He commands his soldiers to break formation in the middle and aim for the enemy Commander Paul's head the Kingdom's Army will break formation and then regroup which means their formation will be weak for a split second this is a golden chance to aim for the Commander's Head ninh har announces that the retreating soldiers should get back in line and Archer should fire at well the vice Commander is confused about ninh heart's actions but he is well aware that he has prepared something special for the enemy hence the retreat The Archers have come up with burning arrows that are being shot down the ground the goal isn't to burn the enemy but to scare away their horses and prevent them from pushing forward stra Ed in the golden Hues of a Setting Sun the battle for day one ends in a draw as both armies take a U-turn unable to push forward the Empire has lost 2,000 men and the kingdom has lost 3,000 men in just one day it's night time and Commander Otto is still hard at work with US soldiers Paul is also strolling to check up on things because he cannot sleep as War excites him Otto is worried that the rain will make the fire arrows lose their effectiveness since the sky keeps getting heavier every passing second but it is nin heart they're talking about so Paul is assured that there must must be some alternate strategies available the second day of the battle the middle formation is much more careful this time so the main battle shifts to the side Lieutenant Elmont of the kingdom is fighting on the side alongside his vice Commander rise they see the enemy soldiers retreating and the vice Commander thinks they should chase them however Elman is thinking about the day's main strategy that is the element of surprise he doesn't want to go too far since the special Squad will arrive so he is relatively chill but only a handful of people know about the secret strategy involving Olivia so he has to avoid seeming suspicious as as well he commands 400 men to chase but they shall return if things get bad since they have to capture Fort Casper losses should be kept at minimum ah this game of pretending and acting makes the Commander's head hurt not to mention he has only met warrant officer Olivia just once in the hallways he wonders what the enemy would think if they realized that the key role in this war will be played by a 15-year-old the battle goes on and this time it's the Imperial Army's right-wing Commander mines and his vice Commander ronus menes dress up haircut and behave scream that he's a clown God knows how he became a military General he kicks one of his soldiers and shouts at him but Ryan is the only sensible person in the room stops him minutes is basically going feral that his strategies are failing and he is in desperate need of War achievements he wants the Cavalry to be sent out once more but ranus reminds him that the Cavalry has failed once already so they devise a plan to send a small number of men first as bait for the right wing led by Elon then suddenly a large number of men will be sent as a surprise and the enemy will panic and end up encircled the battle starts once more and Elmont is reading the enemy movements as expected he falls for the bait and goes in to take a rest but the vice Commander alerts him quickly and they retaliate with an even better strategy the clown continues shouting around and stupidly keeps sending and losing more and more men in dreams of getting Paul's head no matter how much ranus tries to bring him to his senses he doesn't listen ranus gets out to survey the surroundings with 100 men and from the top of the cliff he views the battlefield they have been surrounded and there's no where to escape he rushes back to inform minutes who is drinking and partying with his friends thinking that they have already won minutes assumes his vice Commander is just blabbering and asks him to shut up that is when an arrow flies past him and marks a cut on his face he finally wakes up and panics yet again ronus takes the charge asking everyone to evacuate immediately however Alman goes easy on the enemy giving them space to escape in order to minimize losses the special team led by Olivia is nowhere to be seen as 3 days of battle pass with small skir es the weather is finally working in the enemy's favor and on the fourth day the Beats powered by Brute Force March towards the Kingdom's Army once again no worries as long as the handsome strategist ninh heart is beside the generals Claudia and Olivia are watching the battle from afar with their telescopes the heroes always arrive late Olivia and her Squad that came late are looking over the battlefield Claudia is schooling herself for being a few days late since the battle has gone a long way Olivia clarifies that it's not her fault that the river was flooded and they couldn't cross but Claudia is fired up as the Imperial armored Cavalry clashes with the Kingdom's Army she stands up straight announcing that it's about time for her to Ambush the main enemy now Olivia holds on to her hand and dumbs her face into a pool of Muddy Water nearby a good method to bring someone to their senses Olivia jokes about Claudia's muddy face and tells her not to panic during battle she should use a telescope in her brain instead the Kingdom's Army has formed a v-shaped formation even though they're at a disadvantage with this formation this has made the cavalry Savages Rush towards them at full strength and speed so the Kingdom's Army must have set up a trap to be acting like this if the Trap goes well it will shake the enemy soldiers so if they're tricked and ambushed it will be like hitting two birds with one stone and Claudia is left wondering at this detailed explanation her view keeps getting narrower as the Panic kicked in and she failed to see the bigger picture she slaps her around the cheeks and turns red immediately turning Olivia asking to leave a few men at vantage point for a better View and Analysis the Cavalry Savages head straight towards the enemies formation slashing anyone in anything that comes in their way the vice commander of Cavalry warns the commander about the enemy's suspicious movements but he doesn't listen he thinks that he can conquer everything with Brute Force how ironic it is that all of the Imperial Army's Vice commanders are smarter than the ignorant commanders Nyhart and the commander Overlook the situation and the enemy has fallen for the bait as planned the fire arrows come into action once again as they land right in between the horses of the enemy the fire has started at a magnitude that no one had expected nin heart devised a plan to spread out piles of hay soaked in oil at the points they had expected the enime to pass the armored Cavalry men didn't see it coming at all and were engulfed in flames in an instant the smell of smoked meat enveloped the area accompanied by the sight of Hell in the center of the battlefield on the other hand on Claudia and Olivia's side Ashton's special mustard bread is being enjoyed that is when one of the soldiers from the Vantage reports that he has spotted a blazing fire in the center of the battlefield everyone quickly recognizes it as a trap and ol commands everyone to head out right away Claudia wonders who came up with the idea of using fire in the middle of rain but thanks to that it's easier to set up an ambush now the enemy is focused entirely on the Central Area Lieutenant Olivia goes out to soak in the rain she is delighted that no matter how Bloody it gets the rain will wash them clean everyone gets on their horses and rushes out to the battlefield in the pouring rain the enemy notices them in an instant and the Warriors head right in Olivia Smiles as she prepares herself and beheads the first man on the horse that comes in her way way the black fog from her sword Rises once again and she keeps slashing the enemies it is indeed a sight to behold her fighting is overwhelming but she can't help it this soldiers alert that a second Squad of enemies is coming from the other way and the special unit divides into two one part headed by aivia and the other by Claudia respectively the Battle of Iris plain is finally reaching its climax as all the forces have finally arrived and every single soldier marches with their hearts on fire the rumors and the worst nightmares of the Kingdom soldiers have come true on on the battlefield the Monstrous girl that the lunatics heard about has arrived and they will be witnessing her Valor for the first time ever soldiers scatter in chaos abandoning formations and weapons their training forgotten in the face of this nightmarish enemy the battlefield once a scene of order and Readiness bursts into chaos but the rear guard Commander reminds them of their identity they are brave Soldiers of the Imperial Army the commander bravely races up his sharp weapon and goes right in for the girl's head however Olivia being Olivia performs a swift ninja move and turns into a commander sandwich two halves with extra sword seasoning this Imperial Army might need to reconsider their battle strategies because spoiler alert they're not winning this one witnessing the scenes the Imperial soldiers try to flee the scene but the Kingdom's Army is right after them human beings are cruel warmongering creatures and Olivia is a part of them on the other hand with the fire still burning in the middle of the plane General Paul and Commander Otto discuss the special squad's arrival 4 days have passed and they are still nowhere to be seen if the Imperial soldiers for reinforcement they will have nowhere to run to Commander Otto thinks that it would be a waste to wait anymore and that the troop should attack before it's too late it's an opportune time to attack with the front Cavalry bur to ashes Otto is sweating at the hundreds of probabilities and outcomes of their possible actions but Paul gives him a pat to reassure him it is Commander Olivia they're talking about and they believe and wait for her arrival at the Imperial Army's Camp Paris talks to his Commander about falling into the enemy's trap they were well aware that George is Brash because of his strength and let him go as an aggressive strategy but it seems to have backfired a soldier frantically comes up to inform the duo about the surprise enemy attack the enemy is quickly closing in on the main encampment and there are reports of the rear guard Commander being brutally killed by a girl called a monster Paris and the commander hesitantly accept the truth that they will have to face the girl that butchered Samuel they are not even sure of her existence and Paris quickly apologizes to the commander for failing as a strategist the commander smiles and asks him not to worry since no matter how much of a monster she is and that is where he's cut off a horrific scene unfolds as another Soldier arrives shouting and before he can say anything a sword pierces through his chest and blood oozes out as his body falls to the ground the mighty monster more like a Kawaii girl stands behind him Paris commands her to identify herself and Olivia tells them her name her only concern is getting the Commander's head so she asks for the commander a group of soldiers surround her with their swords raised up upon getting no response Olivia asks the soldiers to stop playing hideand-seek and with one smooth turn she slashes a bunch of bodies in two these people did not look very important a commander shall look like her Paul Grandpa right Paris and the commander watch the lifeless bodies of their comrades in horror but they have got no time the black sword monster is standing right in front of them and Paris clutches onto his swords and asks the commander to retreat immediately he has to buy some time but he is beheaded by Olivia before he could even launch his first attack paris's head falls into the Commander's feet who bows down to shut his dead comrades lifeless eyes the commander Stands Tall and shouts out his identity as as well as his name with pride he is oswan one glarin she clashes with the commander and after a few clashes of the swords Commander oswan questions if this girl really is human Olivia thinks he is funny and decides to end the game once and for all oswan attacks again but he is just a little too slow for Olivia as his head falls to the ground all thanks to Olivia's dark ominous sword and her skill Claudia and the rest of the soldiers arrive at the scene and are shocked to find out that the commander has been defeated they decide to crush the enemy morale by Spreading the News of the Commander's death by attaching his head to a spear like a lollipop and going around after committing a massacre Olivia yawns and sings a foolish song before continuing the battle Claudia is embarrassed but there's not much she can do about Olivia except buying noise cancelling armor the flare has been fired by the special Squad and Paul in Otto's face masked by pure concern have now changed into confident smirks the Kingdom's Army will now commence an all out assault and show no mercy to those who stand in their way on the other hand the Imperial Army's Commander George and vice Commander Silas are in the midst of a heated argument after analyzing the condition of all the flanks Silas thinks the most sensible decision will be to withdraw at that point however just like all the other commanders he is dumb as hell too everybody here failed the how to be a commander 101 course unfortunately George does not want to entertain silas's jokes but silus stands firm on this point he keeps mentioning the hopelessness of the situation and George Goes quiet George inquires if General oswan is safe and silus informs that a portion of the enemy seems to be celebrating his death George commands to prepare the remaining Cavalry and prepare to retreat to Fort Casper the clown like General mides is shouting at his Fighters while making no logical points the soldiers are so fed up that they don't even want to joke about their death with the idiot Commander men's obnoxious friend group keeps mocking the soldiers and they finally retaliate a dark-haired Soldier goes ahead to punch him in the gut and takes out his anger by kicking him that is when Menace appears and threatens to behead him for treason but these soldiers couldn't care less at this point as they Point their arrows to minutes their beloved major rones was killed because of his stupidity considering how annoying minutes is he should have been killed a long time ago an arrow leaves the solders bow and it's a head shot it's game over for minutes the rest of the soldiers fire too and the AIDS are killed this time later historical accounts would state that Commander minutes fell in a hail of arrows at the hands of the Kingdom army during the Battle of Iris plain when in reality he was dropped dead because of his unbearable stupidity Elsewhere on the battlefield the Imperial armored Cavalry is retreating in midst Fierce fighting to leave the iris plane they've engaged in over 20 skirmishes leaving them all scared as George plans to reach the plane and take a quick breather silus looks ahead and unfortunately a rest might not be possible upon seeing their Commander's head displayed on a spear the Army's world collapses around them the air hangs heavy with tension and their blood boils at the state of the commander fueled by pure rage George and silus charge ahead with their troops George Goes for Olivia first and plans to get rid of her horse but Olivia switches position swiftly and passes Georgia smile it's not nice to kill animals you know this Olivia named girl will be killed by George today or at least that's what he thinks but she dances around his attacks and when the right moment comes she jumps into the air an impressive stunt and Olivia's sword is pointed right at her enemy's face as she descends from the sky George's life flashes before his eyes and his face is smashed Silas curses and moves ahead to attack Olivia while Olivia struggles to take her sword out of Georgia's body she picks up Georgia's sword and sends silus flying away with a single strike the the Imperial armored Cavalry division lotted for their battle prowess has been annihilated Olivia's face and armor is entirely covered by Blood because the rain has stopped already and there's nothing that can wash away the disgust the Imperial Army has been defeated and general oswan has been killed by Lieutenant Olivia of the Kingdom this concludes the battle of the Irish plane on the fourth day Aston Olivia and Claudia are chilling as they plan ahead Claudia is still an of the prestigious duty of being assigned as the Vanguard for the assault in Fort Casper but Olivia doesn't understand she choose books or delicious food over Prestige any given day us too Olivia us too Ashton on the other hand is whining and complaining about being in charge of Olivia's meals but Olivia just cannot have enough of the mustard he makes it's just so yummy Ashton blushes and comments that this is not much different to make meals for two people anyway so it's fine this boy is just too easy to read in that case Claudia asks Ashton for one too after buttering him with smooth compliments Ashton blushes again and agrees to her request this this boy is just too easy to read version 2.0 the conversation moves on to the assault of Fort Casper the special brigade's remaining men are around 2,200 and the enemy forces are over 5,000 as per military tactics capturing a fort requires at least three times the occupying Force Claudia asks Olivia if she has any plans but she doesn't have any the vanguard's duty is to assault the fort relentlessly and to exhaust and weaken the enemy until the main forces arrive it sounds kind of gloomy there's no Siege engines or battering rams or anything to break through the front gate and while they try to break through there's no way the enemy will just watch idly Olivia has no ideas herself and if she has any they sound like her taking over the fort by herself she asks Ashton if he has any ideas and he feels honored to be included in the conversation he hums and holds his chin thinking about the time Fort Casper was built Ashton devises a strategy and he's pretty confident in its success rate Claudia is impressed by a mere soldier's knowledge and Olivia continues her agenda to make Ashton a strategist the Imperial Army's colonel room at Fort Casper receives a report of an impending attack they are highly concerned because the southern Army was recently defeated in less than a week they lack intelligence and are not sure of the enemy's numbers the colonel screams at the soldiers who brought the info and asks that imbecile to get information at once he then commands his Aid major Lanchester to inform the troops about the advance of the enemy Army and to prepare for a Counterattack the colonel cannot wrap his head around the situation he cannot believe the audacity of the Kingdom's Army to advance with just 2,000 men the intelligence is just too lacking because there's also a chance that the main Army has been defeated and their maming soldiers have decided to recklessly advance two hours later the Imperial Army's Fort Casper defensive force and the Kingdom's Army special Brigade led by Olivia meet on the battlefield the battle commences with longrange attacks by the special brigade's Longbow units the Kingdom's Army begins shooting at Max Speed but the bows fall shorter than a goldfish attent in Span and land right before the fort's front Gates the soldiers on Fort Casper joke about and ridicule the stupidity of the Kingdom's Army the soldiers shoot and hide for defense as soon as possible they attack deliberately fail their attack and Retreat quickly they're going to keep repeating this process until Ashton strategy succeeds it's a game of hide andand seek so let's go Claudia feels embarrassed and humiliated by adopting aston's ridiculous strategy Ashton assures her that they will have the last laugh and that they will surely win over in the end forts built during the Waring kingdoms era will definitely have a secret Escape tunnel Ashton's strategy is basically to distract the enemy while their squad enters the fort through the secret tunnel to open the main gate Ashton has dedicated a lot of time to studying history books to help his comrades the young boy wants to increase the chances of survival of his comrades in any way that he possibly can despite weaning people to escape and Desiring to live a long life he perseveres for the sake of his beloved people the special Brigade of the Kingdom's Army entered the tunnel successfully they are using fire to light the way ahead as the tunnel full of rodents and webs seems pretty messy to get through she is accompanied by the fort Casper Invasion party Sergeant Goss to be friend Frank he doesn't think that the entrance to Fort Casper would be this smooth but thanks to Ashton's superb strategy even the impossible seems possible now cost recommend splitting the forces into two half of them will be distracting the enemy while the remaining will enter later to open the front Gates Olivia however does not need any company as she assures C that she is alone enough and that way she can swing around her sword much more easily as well normally she has to be careful to not behead her own comrades but when she's alone it'll be all right Olivia opens the door and asks G to begin the oper ation 30 minutes later Olivia heads in and gets excited upon seeing the enemy inventory everything looks the same as they do in books but she couldn't stay quiet for long as she spotted a soldier patrolling the area Olivia asks him for the commanding officer around and the soldier is confused he States an obvious fact that the commander is fighting the enemy out in the iris plane but Olivia enlightens him about the Commander's death the soldier comes to his senses and begins questioning Olivia's Squad and position but she can't afford to be noisy so she just kills him however the other soldiers are alerted by the disturbance and Olivia planed to begin by killing the commanding officers first but this is how it ends up 30 minutes later GS and the remaining soldiers come out to find blood splattered on the walls and it's not just blood the body parts of the enemy soldiers are also scattered around for a moment he is very glad that Lieutenant Olivia is on their side otherwise the scattered body parts would have included his own as well back at the Fort Casper strategy room the area is engulfed by chaos too a soldier is there to report about an intruder but major powen is pissed at his military for not being able to deal with a mere Intruder the soldiers are in chaos upon the arrival of a monster wielding a black sword pwin thinks that it can surely be killed by cornering it but all strategies have failed as All That Remains are the heads of his comrades pwin reports to broom and abandons his post in the midst of the battle he challenges broom to execute him for treason because leaving this place alive is now just a dream Lanchester and broom ignore padn for now and shize killing the monster with their secret weapon which is faster than any other weapon that is when another Soldier comes running through the door frantically to inform the unlatching of the fort's front door Lanchester and broom's souls leave their bodies as they realize they've fallen into a trap the Monstrous girl was simply a diversion and the true aim was to open the gates Lanchester salutes broom and leaves to join the fry and fight to protect his fort Lieutenant Olivia has annihilated the morale of the numerically Superior enemy she takes pn's head to Colonel broom and has succeeded in assaulting a fort single-handedly pn's head is tossed on the table in front of Commanding Officer Colonel brooms Olivia jokes that the dead officer was kind enough to tell her the Colonel's location before he passed away talk about being a dedicated hater bro calls pn's words and calls Olivia a monster because a human can't possibly throw a fort into chaos single-handedly bro is experiencing Deja Vu he just doesn't know it Olivia asks broom to surrender since his fort has been taken over completely broom agrees but grabs his secret weapon at the same time as he stands he aims at Olivia and her eyes widen as an arrow hits her chest but she stands straight and takes out the arrow that couldn't penetrate her thick armor she breaks the arrow into two impressed by the new Machinery she asks Brom for the unique weapon and he throws it towards her since it is of no use to him now but he simultaneously launches an attack on Olivia with his sword however he can't even make it an inch close to her as she pierces his chest with her black foggy sword Olivia is happy to get a new possession after the pocket watch the main Army arrives in time and are left dumbfounded Otto is shocked to find out that Fort Casper has been taken over by the special Brigade The Kingdom only faced eight casual and the majority of the Imperial forces surrendered without putting up a fight Paul is equally shocked to see Olivia's success as the Vanguard Fort Casper has fallen in just a single day Olivia's accomplishments can no longer be described as simple heroism anymore Paul is thinking that she wouldn't be satisfied with cakes anymore while Otto is annoyed already at Paul's Grandpa Antics more importantly they discuss the temporarily appointed strategist Ashton's work Paul asks Otto if he knows anything and from his flashbacks he does remember Olivia blabbering about Ashton two weeks later when the peace prevails the heroic trio stands outside the Commander's office Lieutenant Olivia warrant officer Claudia and private Ashton reporting right on they have been whispering for a while outside the Commander's office and Otto has been jittering at their lack of discipline ever since but poor people who were just counting down the seconds to be on time Ashton is clearly nervous while Olivia is over stimulated as usual she cuts off Paul's first sentence and asks if they're going to get cake today Claudia and Ashton question their life choices but Olivia just can't be defeated wonders if cake is the only thing she cares about but n Olivia cares about books too Olivia is struck with despair when Paul tells her that she will have to wait till the return of Gallia for her beloved cakes they were called here for a much different matter it's something regarding private Ashton Z Fielder Paul recognizes Ashton's contribution to the for takeover and discusses his strategy making Paul offers Ashton to become Olivia's official strategist but Ashton thinks that he doesn't have what it takes for a strategist position however he tightens his fist and takes the offer gracefully despite having a gazillion doubts he is also being tested by Otto some suggestions are needed for taking over Fortress Keel but there is a mountain of issues before they could do that dispatching forces to strategic positions ensuring thorough scouting and surveillance taking back the nearby areas and the prisoners of War are the most pressing problems as of now Ashton masterfully suggests the negotiation of a prisoner exchange which will resolve the food problems as well as strengthen the Army Otto decides to consider it and as the trio leave both Otto and Paul are impressed the Imperial Army on the other hand is preparing a meeting of three of the most powerful people to deal with the kingdom three Generals in Castle Lan's conference room including General Felix General Rosen Mar and general gladin are having a heated discussion over the Empire's current condition the report of General osan's death seems to have affected Rosen Mary deeply she is agitated and slams her hand on the table asking the other Emperors for a confirmation General gladen thinks there is no mistaking it testimonies from the soldiers who managed to flee foress ke were clear but Rosen Mary thinks that that the testimonies might be mistaken gladen with a furious expression commands Rosen Mary to lower her voice numerous soldiers have reported seeing osan's head on a spear there's no denying it Rosen Mary's desire for denial is extremely strong after all she is osan's former Chief officer Rosen Mary almost tearing up announces that she will be heading to the southern front gladin goes pale because he cannot believe what he just heard she doesn't care about the Kingdom's Army because she believes that she can crush them with her Crimson Knights immediately Felix intervenes and tries to put some sense into Rosen Mary because heading to the southern front will mean the loss of a commander for the northern front well Felix Mr Couch Potato with nothing to do can take over gladin loses his temper and won't let Rosen Mary selfish whims win gladin thinks that Felix has the essential role of defending the imperial capital and he cannot be moved around foolishly Rosen Mary Huffs with a smug smile and questions if gladin really thinks that the current Kingdom Army possesses the power to attack the mighty imperial capital and if he really thinks that the great general of the army sir gladin must be getting old the old gezer gets pissed because that was really uncalled for Miss Rosen Mar the azerin knites are placed permanently in the capital and Felix highly doubts if the Prime Minister would give him the permission to mobilize them prime minister diares who looks like a creepy ghost with scary eyes finally intervenes He suggests leaving the southern region and as it as a tragedy is already unfolded in the deaths of 45,000 people and holds a moment of silence for them Felix notices the smile on the prime minister's face as he talks about the deaths while Ros and Mary is flabber gast Ed at the decision because she wants to take revenge for General oswan as Rosen Mary keeps screaming di armies comes up with another Sinister plan the Kingdom's Army will move towards either the Northern or the central front now and with their current strength they will not likely leave any military behind in Galia as they go to war Rosen Mary's face turns up into a Sinister smile when Felix is just skeptical of everything and gladin listens with a serious look on his face 3 days after the meeting per decree of Emperor ruza orders were dispatched for the complete withdrawal of the Imperial Army from the kingdom Southern regions back at Fort Casper Olivia and Claudia are having a sparring session Claudia is eager to learn while Olivia is eager not to injure her there is an overwhelming difference in the swordsmanship that cannot be overcome Claudia has never experienced this much Gap in ability even from her father who was one of the Kingdom's 10 swords the swords clang and their Swift movements can easily go unnoticed by Common Man Claudia feels like an adult attacking a child Claudia's father is not even worthy of comparison to Olivia she is already in the realm of Heroes celebrated in myths and legends Olivia however is impressed by Claudia's good eyes unlike other people she can quickly get a hold of Olivia's magical movements Claudia's eyes hold a special power and she herself doesn't have much knowledge about its power ever since her childhood friend found her eyes creepy she has never revealed the power of her eyes to anyone else Olivia knows a lot about Claudia's power because she was taught a lot of things this makes Claudia curious about her teacher but she can't just tell her now over using her eyes makes Claudia tired but the same goes for Olivia's flash step technique the technique she uses to disappear from her opponent's eyes Claudia wants to learn the technique too and Olivia will gladly teach you to her in the next lesson in return for her sparring Claudia will treat Olivia to the special breakfast set that costs extra Claudia can't help but take a moment to smile and admire the young lieutenant in front of her back to the military business the Imperial Army accepted the request for a prisoner exchange as predicted by Ashton Ashton is working as Lieutenant Otto's personal aid roped into various situations regarding military Affairs per order of General Paul Otto has been busy assessing the condition of recaptured towns and Villages as for the prisoner exchange the Empire requested some controversial conditions poor Ashton has been juggling between a huge number of tasks back and forth despite being the victors the kingdom isn't in much control the signing ceremony will be taking place in the enemy territory at Fortress Keel the General's voice Echoes through the room announcing the enemy's controversial conditions a wave of surprise sweeps through the ranks catching them off guard and leaving them momentarily stunned General Paul curses Otto under his breath because he should have been here to deal with all these voices but he himself ordered the inspections in the first place acting like a toxic Boyfriend For Real the military thinks limiting Paul's escort to 100 men is crazy but Paul makes them understand that it's the most logical approach on routes 100 men are sufficient to ward off Bandits but are few enough to not be a threat in enemy territory it's a wellth thought out plan but the soldiers can't move on from conspiracy theories like a possible assassination attempt but why fear when Olivia is here she will be the personal escort for General Paul upon hearing Olivia's name all the concerns of soldiers are shoot off they have no problems anymore a week later as planned General Paul and Co depart from Fort Casper setting their Course North to Fortress Keel Claudia is worried and tense as always well Olivia is being the cheerful girl that she is Paul's Grandpa instincts are coming out but he turns serious the moment they arrive Keel Fort stands as a Regal Testament to centuries past its Majestic towers and formidable walls overlooking the landscape with an air of Timeless Majesty Olivia is in awe because she finds it much bigger and cooler than Galia they should take back their Fort from their Invaders Olivia says it so easily and calmly that Paul cannot help but hope to recapture what once belonged to them the scary entrance to the fort is opened as the General's escort enters Lieutenant Teresa is present to guide them during their stay there she is honored to meet the demon on the Battlefield General Paul as they pass through the third gate Paul is asked to have only two guards accompany him for security purposes the soldiers are baffled and Claudia is about to throw hands but Paul stops her without hesitation Claudia and Olivia are appointed as his guards for the escort Teresa is surprised at the weird choices because the guards look very useless one is impatient while the other seems like a stupid little kid Paul questions if something's wrong and Teresa quickly snaps out of her thoughts to agree with his choices the trio heads inside the official prisoner exchange ceremony takes place the next day Paul and Felix shake hands and exchange a few words Felix can feel his spine tingling as he confronts the war demon Paul in return Paul also lods the head of the Azure Knights who turn out to be a lot younger than he expected Felix eyes Olivia and Claudia as he consent something suspicious after the departure he inquires if Teresa had any interaction with the escorts unfortunately there were no interactions but she was quite surprised to find out that a little girl held the same rank as her Felix turns pale and begin sweating at the abnormal scent of lingering and sense of killing it was as if the very embodiment of death was standing next to him a serious threat to the Empire a month later Lieutenant Elman and 8,000 troops took charge of Fort Casper while the Coalition Army returned to Galia as for Olivia and Claudia one of them is having the time of her life with her precious books while the other keeps supporting interesting stuff to her head one of them being Lieutenant Olivia being awarded with the medal of the Golden Lion and well her response to this news is just hm and she goes back to her books Claudia is bewildered and tries to put some sense into the lieutenant she has no idea what the achievement means it is an award of the highest order in all of history there have only been three recipients that were awarded this centuries ago all of them were crazy bearded men who won crazy Wars and purged the roots of corruption the three awarded men are praised in every aspect as Heroes and to join their ranks as the first female recipient of the medal this is the birth of a new hero of the Kingdom Olivia confused as ever questions if Claudia is genuinely fond of all these things because personally she holds nothing dearer than books and delicious food however Claudia's sharp eyes fall onto the book it has Comet the mischievous elf on it and Claudia asks if Olivia is fond of him Olivia finds it interesting how the elf tries his hardest to play pranks on humans even though he is afraid of them with the joy and excitement of a child Olivia wants to know if Claudia reads about Comet too Claudia flexes that she in fact owns every single book of the series she blushes and continues to tell an embarrassing little secret as well she believes that Comet exists in real life too and has tried various ways to catch him before Olivia jumps out of her bed to tightly hold on to Claudia's shoulders Claudia panics but Olivia is just excited because she has tried to catch Comet too Claudia's inner child is healed because her entire childhood all her friends denied comet's existence Claudia offers to give her books to Olivia who cannot believe the kindness of her friend just about any boy would fall in love if they see the way Olivia's face lights up with pure joy at mentioning new books someone from a noble family wouldn't hesitate to give her hundreds of books Olivia finally lets the girl go when she starts to feel her bones getting crushed Claudia is just like Ashton both are good humans changing the subject now does Olivia own a ceremonial uniform to attend the ceremony of course she doesn't and her solution is simple she will simply not attend the ceremony but in the presence of Claudia Olivia's not fit for military Behavior won't be acceptable Claudia hands the girl her own uniform and asks her to try it on Olivia thinks that Claudia has become a little pushy lately but n she's just getting comfortable Claudia is left in awe when Olivia wears the uniform that fits her perfectly Olivia complains a bit about the measurements but Claudia shushes her because there is no time for any adjustments at the award ceremony General Paul is in awe of the girl's achievements while Otto is just anxious about an ill-mannered girl messing up the ceremony when Olivia arrived the kingdom was crumbling and there was no way Paul was going to let a child join the military that would be cruel but Olivia proved herself in less than a year and now she is hailed as the silver-haired war Maiden the soldiers accustomed to envisioning their Lieutenant as Stern and ugly are left in awe and disbelief as they encounter her unexpectedly radiant Beauty shattering their preconceived beliefs Olivia makes her way to receive the award and the soldiers Marvel at her beauty they imagine the monster to be something like a Gore Olivia instead of Olivia Otto is worried about her manners but the girl bows and receives the award perfectly thinks Claudia must have taught the brat but Claudia quickly moves her head side to side denying any assumptions however the ceremony is halted as a panicking Soldier enters the third and fourth Army have been completely annihilated the second Army Commander Brad Enfield is ordered to hold off the Empire from the north in the front but to him deserting seems like the easier way out of this situation however it takes him just one news to change his plans completely upon hearing about the Imperial Army's defeat with 50,000 soldiers he gets pumped up Brad gets excited as he rolls up his non-existent sleeves and orders re to bring out a map back at gallia's strategy room per his Majesty's decree in response to the complete annihilation of the third and fourth armies the seventh Army will launch a Counterattack in the northern region in other news the idiots Trio has received a promotion in their military ranks Olivia got a major three- rank promotion to a major and caia got a two- rank promotion to a lieutenant and as for Ashton he got a special accelerated promotion to a warrant officer autos face looks constipated as usual at every news back at the central front Brad is thinking of getting the seventh Army to deal with the Imperial Army in the north putting aside simply retreating this is the only plan he could come up with the seventh Army can easily move out of Fort Casper due to its favorable position the natural barriers and unfavorable roads made it an extremely difficult Target for enemies with a skilled commanding officer like the bearded Elmont in charge he can drive back the enemy even if heavily outnumbered that being said there is no need for the seventh Army to stick around Galia this means that the seventh Army can move about freely re immediately sends out a messenger to the capital while Brad contemplates his decision even though he's just talking to himself he really doesn't want to owe a favor to the seventh Army old man Paul is scary back in Galia Major General hosman proposes to Paul that they should make the first move and take 3,000 troops to confirm the situation hosm is going feral as he keeps mentioning the worst case scenarios to convince Paul the scouts are enough to gather information but hosman just doesn't understand stand in another episode of Olivia being unable to read the room she raises her hand for more black tea in the midst of the heat of discussion Paul asks for her thoughts on the matter but she only cares about adding a sufficient amount of sugar to her tea Ashton is asked too and while panicking and shivering he opposes husman's proposal there is no need to make the first move at all hosman smirks and asks the audacious young boy to Enlighten them with his reasoning his reason is that the Imperial Army is waiting for the deployment of the seventh Army but since it's just a mere speculation his view is rejected Ed hosman is driven by the greed to climb up the military ranks and there is no logic whatsoever he does what he wants and sets out on his mission the main force will be deployed a week later Claudia looks for Olivia who is searching for something called Clues and acting super sus but they quickly leave for the cafeteria where they find Ashton Claudia thinks that Ashton was being delusional in the meeting but surprise surprise Olivia thinks otherwise she doesn't think that Ashton is delusional at all Olivia gives her reasoning for believing Ashton and Claudia are starting to connect the dots too but why did major Olivia not speak up for Ashton in the meeting oh well because she was preoccupied with her tea or maybe she didn't feel like it Ashton's statement was completely unexpected but the major completely understood well Ashton did make that statement without any conclusive evidence so it was only natural for his idea to be rejected he isn't much bothered by it but Claudia is the idiot shouldn't say unnecessary stuff then the poor guy is just terrified of the demon Colonel Otto who asked for his opinion out of nowhere considering he's a strategist serving under the major of course he will be asked for his opinions next time he should face the situation with more conviction Olivia jokes about Ashton being scolded and it seems like a sister cheering up her little brother the only issue is that Ashton is 4 years older but Claudia can't leave the major in peace for much long either Olivia keeps running away and Claudia keeps chasing her as if her life depends on it but no because her life literally does depend on it Olivia has to choose her house name but she keeps avoiding it because she was wasn't even asked to be a noble and she isn't interested in becoming one anyways Olivia is already an awesome name so it's fine but no it's not fine according to Claudia but then Olivia's ears begin ringing with Colonel Otto's words since she has been appointed as a knight of the kingdom it is natural for her to be granted a title she has to decide one quickly Ashton intervenes and he is also of the opinion that Olivia should probably start looking for a name if she holds her life deer anything over dealing with demon AO Olivia finally agrees and Ashton leaves for work Claudia takes her to the room to show her a book which has a list of nobilities that had died out for one reason or another unlike Olivia's room Claudia's room is neat organized and clean Olivia is impressed but tucks herself into the bed in no time as Claudia searches for the book Claudia shakes the girl to wake her up and forces her to go through the book after a while of going through lengthy boring and not interesting names something catches Olivia's eye it's a noble house called veiled storm with no apparent reason for dying out the name is a bit notorious so Claudia tries her best to divert the Major's attention but she won't succeed from now on she is Olivia veiled storm Olivia will find her answers in the Royal Library which will lead her to the roots of veiled storm Olivia goes deep into thought and Claudia has to shout out her name to get her back into reality she panics for no apparent reason and kicks the girl out of her own room Claudia will inform Otto about the house name while Olivia secretly matches her Jewel necklace to the Jewel and Val Storm's logo the shape and color of Zed's jewel is the same as this picture aha Olivia has finally found a clue about Zed after a long period of struggles she laughs maniacally as she holds the book and Jewel close to her chest back at Castle winsom Rosen Mary's adant guile finds it hard to believe that they have conquered the feared Kingdom of lions the people are Shameless and spineless and handed over everything themselves guile further informs Rosen Mary about the girl called a monster amongst the seventh Army's ranks all the exchanged War prisoners describe the same thing swords do not Pierce her arrows do not reach her and all who stand in her way do not live to tell the tale well because dead men tell no Tales guile is genuinely concerned but Rosen Mary laughs off his concerns she has obtained something precious recently no matter if the opponent is a monster or not they will have to pay for killing General Osan it is a huge black sword that points to only one person Ros and Mary is showing up the UN sheathed look of her sword the uniquely designed sword is red in color and the shade deepens slowly as if it's radiating heat Rosen Mary is not sure of the identity of the sword but it was given to her by Felix anyone cut by the blade will suffer in anguish worse than hell no one can escape it even if they are a so-called monster guile is highly concerned about Rosen Mary's priorities that are fixated on avenging General Osan which is important but not as much as winning over the kingdom Rosen Mary Bears an important responsibility not only as the head of the Crimson Knights but also as one of the Empire's generals however guile needs to not worry since Rosen Mary's cutting brain is always a step ahead she has devised a plan to redirect the hatred of the population away from their conquerors the people will turn against their feudal Lords and the jurisdiction will be handed over to the Empire after creating chaos Rosen Mary is known for her politics and controlling the northern region completely will be timeconsuming anyways the only focus is overtaking the Kingdom's seventh Army after all the opponent has a girl worthy of being called a monster amongst its ranks back to the past Zed and Olivia are hanging out in the depths of a forest Olivia is enjoying the blood sucker Birds soft and yummy meat she offers some to zed who replies that there is no point in him eating he can taste things but eating does not satisfy him that is because he feeds on human Souls the Woodfire crackles and Pops as Olivia inquires whether human souls are tasty or not Zed answers that the taste depends on the human's quality these days though he's having a soul-searching crisis not in a philosophical way but because he cannot find a decent quality soul for the after dinner delight and why the soul shortage you ask blame it on Humanity's Newfound obsession with sticking around apparently people have stopped dropping like flies for trivial reasons the rapid advancement of human civilization has increased lifespans and honestly Zed is not in a good position Zed teaches Olivia a lot about human souls and how they live on even after humans die Zed cannot kill the humans himself except infants who are worthless so he has to wait that is when Olivia offers to go out to the human world and kill humans to fill Zed's tummy she asks about the amount of that can satisfy him and Zed answers about 20 Zed quickly shoes away her worries and asks her if she wants to return to the human world well she hasn't thought about that but she would like to try interesting stuff like Breads and sweets Zed also thinks about adding variety to her food since she is reaching adolescence Zed's Aura is full of grief and sadness as he has lived idly for an eternity Olivia wakes up from sleep missing Zed deeply but she has no time to think about anything since she overslept and missed breakfast but she has Ashton egg and mustard sandwiches to the rescue so it's all good poor Ashton has to make a battalion of 10 sandwiches now Claudia comes up to Olivia to inform about the troop gathering in two hours today is the day when troops are being deployed to the Fortified city of Emme the newly formed 3,000 strong special Cavalry Regiment is made up of soldiers from the former special Brigade mixed with new recruits the broad discretionary power is given to its Commander Major Olivia herself the soldiers are raising all sorts of questions ranging from Olivia's Beauty to her abilities as a little girl but it is what it is Claudia with a Stern and commanding voice announces that regimental Commander Olivia is about to begin her Mission briefing Olivia dramatically Stomps her feet strikes a superhero pose with hands on her waist and shouts that humans can die easily in War and what she says next is quite surprising if the soldiers die in war they won't be able to eat yummy food and that is why Olivia Claudia and Ashton will think of a way for everyone to not die so coming back alive is a must to eat yummy foods and sweets good luck and that is when Olivia spins and walks off the stage Claudia panics and tries to clarify Olivia's statement but there's no need for that since the soldiers are deeply moved as evident by The Tears in their eyes the soldiers get unto their horses and everyone is set to go there are two routes to choose from to Emory when departing from Galia the first is to cross the Eastern Mountain range and pass through the Royal capital of Fizz the second one is to pass through the town of canary that turns East along the desert's edges but the special Cavalry won't be taking the capital fizzz path hosman who has already left was led by hastiness to Fizz but Olivia's team has to be intelligent to gather info says Claudia on the troops way to Canary Town Claudia points out the blooming flowers announcing the arrival of spring but Olivia is still salty about not taking the Royal Capital route because she wanted to visit the Royal Library that is why she isn't talking to anyone because the disappointment is real folks Claudia requests her to please reconsider her mood since the troops morale can be highly affected by her pouting Olivia finally talks and asks if they can change the route right now because she had discretionary power as the regimental Commander Claudia reminds her that she cannot change military decisions and commands for personal reasons Ashton makes a failed attempt at convincing her too by mentioning the special mustard treat but oh dear Claudia comes to a halt and enlightens her major with some new information even if they do pass through the Royal Capital there would not be enough time to complete her inquiry to begin with One does not simply enter the Royal Library and Olivia cannot go in firstly the procedural paperwork for entrance takes 2 days secondly a letter of recommendation is required the recommendation has to come from a member of the noble house and not just any Noble house but one of high standing after all everything in that library is precious Ashton size at his desire for entrance as well but commoners are simply not allowed even though Olivia holds a noble title she cannot enter simply because of her title and her ordin are unknown too there's no people around with silver hair and jet black eyes like Olivia Claudia isn't even sure about herself because her family are just Nobles living on the Kingdom's fringes and not of much value Olivia might have been struck with a brilliant idea of convincing Grandpa Paul for the permission but Claudia quickly dismisses it saying she cannot use a military general for personal reasons however there is one person whose recommendation will certainly be accepted and that is briger General Nyhart Olivia puts some pressure on her Minds to remember Nyhart but all she remembers is him giving her peaches and badly imitating a fish completely skipping out the part of avenging his best friend by killing Samuel but for the permit they have to complete the mission first they have finally reached a solution and the soldiers continue to march on they finally arrive at the destroyed town of canary all they see is ruins of war and smell of the rotting bodies the town is in shambles recovery efforts have not made much progress and the men are hard at work a few hungry kids come up to Olivia and the girls find her really cute comparing her to dolls while another kid thinks she smells really good probably because of the cookie she has she distributes the yummy cookies that the kids have only ever heard of from their mothers cookies are something only Nobles and well-off families have access to the kids are really happy and the smiles on their faces are heartwarming that is when Ashton spots some other children and asks Olivia to hand them over some cookies or they will be really sad Olivia is really hesitant to let go of the cookies but Ashton convinces her saying that he will treat her to the most delicious cake in the world after the mission the next day the trio is having breakfast at the temporary lodging house when a soldier shows up they are planning to depart after breakfast that is when a man with dark black hair flies past the soldier to hold Olivia's foot named burnhard he begs her to save Lieutenant General Salah of the sixth Army the sixth Army stationed in the central western region to defend Fort PESA is currently besieged by the swaren kingdom the lieutenant general and fourth princess of the Furnace Kingdom salivan Rivier is losing hope looking at the current condition Vice Commander Roland tries to lift her spirits up by assuring her of the reinforcements coming but she seems to have given up the reinforcements will take about a week to arrive even if she is an illegitimate child she is still a princess so surrendering herself and saving her soldiers seems like the best option the children Bid Farewell to Big Sis Olivia and her friends as they depart from Canary Olivia on her horse suddenly turns her head to look at the grass and mountains beside them because she senses some rats scurrying around Claudia doesn't see any but Olivia assures her not to worry since she will crush the rats AKA spies if they get too close more importantly they are headed to save the sixth Army now they are straying away from their current orders and Ashton and Claudia seem really worried but they cannot just leave the sixth Army to die after hearing about their situation Olivia is exactly correct in her analysis but Claudia just cannot help but feel that they are letting even more danger close in on the second Army as per Ashton's analysis the Imperial forces in the northern region are awaiting the deployment of the seventh Army so as long as they stay in this area they won't make a move Ashton keeps doubting his prediction but Olivia reassures him saying thinking is important but overthinking will make him lose sight of himself she stretches her arms and commands the Army to march on a thunderous procession of the Army's horses weave through the dense jungle and their Hooves resonate amidst the Lush trees in the depths of the Jungle two men Lieutenant Alvin and Lester from the Imperial Army's intelligence team are spying over the movements of the Kingdom's Vanguard Alvin cannot believe how the girl could sense them watching from such a huge distance he wonders if the girl with the distinct hair is the rumored War Maiden but Lester is there to dismiss his exaggerated concerns because how could this little girl be a monster Lester has not been promoted yet since he keeps trying to make sense of things all the time mocks Alvin supernatural beings exist even though Olivia looks like she cannot even hurt a fly but Alvin is still Gathering pieces of the puzzle so he cannot say for sure they haven't informed Rosen Mar yet too since they want to confirm every Last Detail as an honorable intelligence unit apart from that the seventh Army's route is also unusual they are heading to the northern regions when they should be taking the Eastern route precautionary measures will be taken against the rumors regarding the silver-haired girl because it's better to be safe than sorry back at the castle winom of the Imperial Army guile is narrating the mirage's report to Rosen Mar there are 3,000 men from the Kingdom's Army likely the Vanguard tasks with scouting enemy movements and the silver-haired Maiden is leading the regiment in other words she may be the monster in question Rosen Mary's lips curve up into a smile and seems impressed by Mirage but she gets enraged the moment she hears about the change of root by the Vanguard gladin the scile old gezer has a habit of sticking his nose in Rosen Mary's Affairs guile asks her to recollect herself as an outburst won't be of any help right now Rosen Mary is sure that general of the armies gladin has ignored the swaren kingdom to attack there and the Vanguard is heading to PTA to save the sixth Army Rosen Mary measures the possibilities and decides to dispatch the rampaging Colonel vulmer if the Vanguard defeats the kingdom of swaren if he kills the monster then there is nothing to be afraid of but in the case that he's defeated the Crimson Knights will end the monster story at Fort pasida in salah's private room she is refusing to eat the small amount of food brought out to her she is saying that the food is not befitting for a princess when in reality she just wants her troops to have the food instead she wants to save the life of others at the cost of her own it's already been a week since the messengers were dispatched and not a word has been heard of from the seventh Army there are no hopes left and Salah asks for her armor to be prepared because she does not want to be beheaded in her sleeping guys the situation is grim to say the least the Invaders of Fort Salah seem to have their own circumstances too it's been a week since swaren invaded this place but Fort pid's people are very resilient swen's Commander resents general gladin for forcing his unreasonable orders upon them the second Lieutenant Marcel looks drained as if he tries to bite onto a piece of food in his hand one of the soldiers asks Marcel if he can foresee when the enemy will surrender since he belongs to a family of soothsayers no stupid he wouldn't be questioning his life right now if he could do something like that a Soldier screams out from a distance to inform Marcel that the Royal Army of farest is closing in on them Marcel spits out his food and stands up to view the Calamity himself Olivia is whimsically reaping the sworen Army's will to fight by scattering their body parts through effortless slashes Marcel cannot believe his eyes as he Witnesses the scene in front of him just like everyone else he can also feel the Eerie sensation of death surrounding Olivia Olivia introduces herself as the lieutenant for a favor the Lieutenant's face reflects the toll of prolonged stress and exhaustion deep lines crease his forehead evidence of countless hours spent contemplating the challenges of his position his eyes carry a heavy burden surrounded by dark circles that betray sleepless nights and a constant state of alertness he agrees in an instant when Olivia asks him to take her to his HQ Olivia is glad that the swori and soldiers are so obedient in exchange Olivia will spare the lives of his men who were but simple Farmers scraped up to fight forcefully Olivia asks for uniform to disguise herself so no one can tell that she's from furnace excitement takes over as she plays the role of the Mask Knight Shalia from the books Marcel takes Olivia to field Marshall eloria and asks for forgiveness as everyone is confused Olivia takes off her masked armor and introduces herself as Shalia this is blatant treason by Marcel but he wants no more harm to Kingdom swaron he cannot afford to lose eloria or gladin will oppress them even more since their King died and his little son took over in the beginning they think Olivia is a nutcase because of her weird shall opposes but their mouths are quickly shut as she pierces a solders forehead with a swift move the kingdom of sworen finally surrenders that was pretty easy Salah on the other hand is prepping to get beheaded in style as a princess and Lieutenant but she comes out to be met with a surprise the enemy forces are retreating and the sixth Army cannot understand what's happening until they see the banner of the seventh Army amongst the soldiers the gates are opened to greet the seventh Army as tears flow uncontrollably from salah's eyes major Lieutenant Olivia introduces herself in a weird pose once again since she is also known as the mass Knight Shalia she is really a character due to her swaron armor it turns out that princess Salah is also a fan of Shalia and her strange introduction pose the two automatically become besties and it turns out that Shelia managed to persuade the swaren Army to Retreat through a solo infiltration the enraged commander of the swaron Army is presented to Salah as a prisoner of war full of Rage he shouts at Salah that only if that weird girl hadn't shown up she would have been their prisoner instead the commander tries to escape the stronghold to attack but the soldiers restrain him he finally quiets down and Olivia continues speaking well then the enemy's Retreat is confirmed the commander shall be set free as promised and as for the seventh army they should leave ASAP for their mission Salah would have loved to give Olivia something for her kindness but her current state is pretty bad but Olivia has an innocent request all she wants in return is to talk about the mask Knight Shalia with Princess Salah the next time they meet the two parties Bid Farewell to each other the Kingdom's Vanguard has to make up for the detour that they took they will leave for the desert city of kein to replenish their supplies as well as gather information there kein is a city that has prospered as a commercial key point for Generations the local specialty of this area is Stardust and it just so happens to be the right season to collect sand crystals of high quality so the city is expected to be crowded a few days later the military Trio is spotted by the guard captain of kein he presumes that they are out for dinner and He suggests them the most distinguished restaurant of Meridia in the city he asked them to not worry about the prices either since the Royals will cover all expenses for them ah now he is being awfully kind as the trio munches on dinner Ashton questions whether the Imperial Army has shown no signs of activity yet Olivia says something but it is inaudible since her mouth is full of food however there is something suspicious even though it's dinner time and Peak trading season the city is not as crowded as it should be Claudia explains that the reason behind this is probably that all Merchants are probably afraid of a possible Invasion from the Imperial Army so everyone fled as soon as they could even in the safe Royal Capital quick witted Merchants are fleeing so a city like kein with only 200 soldiers stands no chance if the Imperial Army invaded it that is why the Vanguard is being given such privileged treatment they hope that their 3,000 soldiers will stay in town as long as possible but there is no way they can stay here forever the next morning they have to leave for Emory anyway belly stuffed with delicious fish in the middle of a desert the trio head out of the restaurant Olivia clearly ate way too much and the staff greets them on their way out as they head out Ashton looks around for Olivia but she is nowhere to be seen Claudia is so done with this girl that disappears every chance she gets ever since she got her new family name the disappearances have been frequent but the two stop fussing since Olivia will come back anyway when she's hungry a true foodie for real Olivia on the other hand has figured out that a spy is present in kein so she is out to hunt him down liutenant Alvin of Mirage has been caught Olivia's rat extermination is about to take place in secret it's late at night and you know what that means it's time for Olivia's special rat extermination session she glances at the hotel's rooftop to spot a spy easily Lieutenant Alvin is undoubtedly shocked at being cited in the depths of the Night Olivia confronts the spy in an empty location because fights can get pretty ugly and a hotel doesn't sound like the best place just as Alvin suspected Olivia had spotted the spies right at the start of their Journey back at Canaria City's jungle more importantly the black mask in outfit are something Olivia has seen already she has already caught one of them rats back at Gallia Fortress it would be an underestimation to say that Alvin feels humiliated because calling heat Hayes agents rats is the last thing he expected to hear the realization of his fellow agent Xenon being killed also kicks in Alvin tries provoking Olivia but all that she wants is that they stop getting on her nerves already she clasps her sword to un sheath it because it seems that more of the rats have arrived you look away for a second and they start multiplying more like mosquitoes than rats huh Alvin commands his comrades to kill kill her the tension thickens and a sudden Ambush erupts from the Shadows a band of stealthy spies launching a surprise attack unfaced by the unexpected assault major Olivia's Vigilant instincts kick in Swift and lethal she slices them Spies Like Fruit Ninja expertly turning the tables as she always does she stands surrounded by the defeated spies as their splattered blood Saints the floor Alvin analyzes Olivia her inhuman raw jumping power and swordsmanship faster than the eye that doesn't go unnoticed by him he has finally realized that the infamous monster is standing right in front of him Olivia asks him to call her by her name and not the title of a monster Alvin's best choice right now is to Simply make a run for it but if he will only do that once he has wiped that annoying little smirk off Olivia's face Olivia pulls out an interesting weapon and attacks Olivia with it only for her to dodge the attack it's his turn to smirk now because dodging his attacks won't really help blocking is the way to go the weapon with a sharp tip twists and turns like a confused GPS as a second attack comes towards Olivia from the back she takes no time to turn around and break Alvin's silly little weapon and punches him in the gut right afterwards he cannot comprehend how Olivia saw that attack coming and she recognized that his weapon filled with blood lust can even be recognized by a bird in its sleep as if that makes any sense mutters Alvin before falling to the ground a cardio run was probably easier than wiping off the smirk back at the Royal Army of kin's Pavilion Claudia and Ashton begin panicking because Olivia is late but no worries as Olivia appears at the entrance drenched in blood with a body alongside her with a wide grin she announces her arrival and the first thing Ashton sees is a moving corpse he's alive Ashton Claudia quickly runs a forensic test on Olivia from head to toe to check for any signs of possible injury looks like the blood is not all hers on that note who is this man in the suspicious outfit inquires Claudia in Olivia's words he's a rat from a group called heat Haze or something a bewildered Claudia asks if she's really referencing the same heat Haze as the Imperial Army intelligence units well they sucked so much at playing hide-and seek Olivia would have never guessed before going any further Ashton is asked to tie up the Spy to a pillar then Claudia turns to Olivia because she wants to know in exact detail how this heat Haze spy was captured after listening to the long story Claudia's body can be seen burning in flames of pure rage the Spy was keeping tabs on them since they left the city of Canaria and she didn't let them know the audacity Olivia tries to explain that she did mention rats scurrying around but Claudia couldn't get the slang terminology and now she is just enraged to death Olivia thinks hard to come up with something to calm down the girl well she was planning to kill all of the rats but she did leave one alive to get information from isn't that great of her Claudia hums and gets deep in thought while Olivia takes a mental note to stop using the word rats and to call the spies flies instead so it would be more understandable the Spy flutters open his eyes and takes a look around to confirm that he has been indeed captured upon opening his eyes the spice's first question is to ask why he was not killed like his fellows back in the fight for a vicious monster like Olivia that should be a CCH right Olivia has to remind him of her name yet again and removes the black cloth from the spy's face because it's face reveal time the Spy obviously lies and tells his name as Zoe while Olivia agrees Claudia thinks that he's lying she analyzes him and uses her magical eyes and confirms her suspicion Olivia is delighted because Claudia's Heavenly eyes are indeed a gift from the heavens she then grabs the spy's face with her bloody hands and asks for his name once again his fear is evident from the terrified eyes and sweaty face after a brief moment of silence he blurts out Alvin and this time he is telling the truth okay Mr Alvin it's finally time for the investigation but here's the catch if he is truthful with his answers Olivia is willing to let him go Ashton and Claudia think that she is going crazy and Claudia in particular doesn't seem very inclined to let him go however Olivia reassures the Spy that she doesn't go back on her word Olivia's first question is obviously to find out whether Alvin was following them all the way to caffin Alvin answers without hesitation because that piece of information does not matter at all his mission was to investigate the activities of the seventh Army the next question comes and that is about whether this entire situation has anything to do with Fort Casper's capture the spy sze and he is amazed at Olivia's correct guess his commanderin-chief who conquered the northern lands is extremely furious at the seventh Army for destroying the southern Imperial division the Spy smirks and asks Olivia to quit widling her thumbs and leave for the north already and then peacefully die at the hands of his commanderin-chief although he can hardly imagine a monster like her dying Claudia is mad at the scum for calling her major a monster once again but Olivia isn't really bothered by it she may or may not be bothered but Claudia surely is as she tightens her fist to punch the Spy Olivia stops her midair and the Spy thinks that the monster has a knack for winning over people's hearts with a dead serious look Ashton contemplates killing the Spy once again but this isn't very Ashton of him Olivia takes out her sword and cuts all the ropes with a smooth slash leaving the Spy terrified he didn't expect being left alive and leaving that aside Olivia also has a message for his commander-in-chief she is coming to kill the commander so she should keep her neck squeaky clean until then the Spy agrees to deliver he runs out of the building at the speed of light looking like a cartoon character run Claudia and Ashton are still confused but Olivia is delighted because she knows the enemy's intentions now her strategist Ashton was right and all they got to do is head north before the enemy changes plans again after the little workout Olivia is hungry once again she asks Ashton to make his special mustard sandwich that she loves the most in the entire world Ashton blushes and while he preps the food Claudia suggests her major to change her blood soaked outfit because that isn't very fash an icon of her back at the Imperial Army's listland Castle a strange happening is taking place at Prime Minister di ARA's office de armis is bowing before a god of death named Lord Zenia he is spilling the tea about Olivia's sword emitting some kind of black mist he suspects that it must be endowed with some sort of sorcery but Zenia takes offense because it is not some cheap sorcery the sword was created by his brother Zed's powers and hence the black mist furthermore the human who wields the sword is just his brother's play thing Zed is a fairly eccentric fellow and he plays with human beings with the name of observing them di armis being the stupid dude that he is asks Zenia if that makes Olivia his comrade maybe he should consider shutting up a strong gust of wind and dark Powers blows on the armas's ugly face indicating that Zenia is angry how dare he assume that a human can possibly take control of his brother she is merely just a play thing di armis begs for forgiveness and bows down low the moment the anger subsides apparently these two have a deal the emperor is being controlled by Zenia hence Di armis has all the power he has to kill humans and satisfy zenia's hunger for Souls a dark challice of souls has to be filled up for some unknown reason in return diis will be rewarded with the elixir of the the cursed souls to make him Immortal and rule over the duera continent Forever The Lord Of Death leaves and Di armis finally stands up and thinks about the Empire he wants to build upon a mountain of corpses he shows off his ugly smile thanking the monster girl and her Dark Sword for continuing Wars and killing humans dima's conscience and soul is finished already hence the empty eyes and Sinister brain the next destination is the Fortified city of emarine also known as The Citadel of amarine the guard at keis is really disappointed when he hears that the Kingdom's 3,000 soldiers are departing oh how he wishes he could stay longer in the city but dude changes his entire mood once Olivia clarifies the chances of kein being invaded by the Imperial Army are almost zero he who wishes the Army a happy farewell like a chameleon changing his colors an open book indeed it will take the special Cavalry Regiment headed by Olivia around 2 days to arrive at Emory General hosman must have arrived in the city already back at Emory there is tension on the front lines as hosman wants to attack the Imperial Army while his comrades think that adopting a defensive strategy would be better everyone thinks that they should focus on defense and wait for Olivia and the soldiers to arrive but hosman doesn't want Emory to be caught in the crossfire all fighting should stay away from the city and its residents but it is the Crimson nights that they will be going up against there is a high chance that they will be wiped out but still showing hints of Greed for Glory husman commands to attack his decision is final regardless of how terrified his men are the Imperial soldiers have come to Halt at the plane of alheim and that is pretty odd for now hosman decides to keep an eye on enemy movements at alheim plane Lieutenant vulmer a hulking nightmare with bulging muscles and huge axes is craving the chaos of war and bloodshed he is upset about the Kingdom's seventh Army delaying their attack vulmer is eager to fight the so-called monster that everyone is afraid of vulmer Aid lamia is sure that the monster is somewhere inside and that they just need to wait upon seeing vulmer she will run with her tail between her legs after all she will face the butcher vulmer hates this nickname because people think that he is some murder loving psycho but vulmer just loves the sounds or songs people make when they die well that is exactly a murder- loving psycho behavior and his Aid knows that vulmer suggests that they should send the enemy an invitation to make some impression and his crazy Aid is delighted by The Plan Three humans are killed and mounted on tree branches brutally as an invitation Olivia and her soldiers are on their way but the girl just cannot help but feel sleepy on this long boring Journey she asks her fellows about the food available in Emory but shushes them herself because she has spotted a lone Rider heading towards them it may be the enemy but upon a closer look it is private Reese and he serves under General hosman it seems that some serious bad stuff has gone down as hosman forces are currently fighting the Crimson Knights and they are being forced into submission he begs Olivia to save them and falls off his horse it looks like he has fainted now the special Brigade has to face the Crimson Knights the lives of new recruits with them are in danger oh only if Olivia could fight them alone all these problems would never pop up again so they end up deciding that the new recruits will pair up in groups of three and that will highly increase their chances of survival Claudia's conscience doesn't allow three verse one fights but it is what it is hosman sees the invitation bodies are in a horrific State one of them is missing its eyes nose and tongue and another one is amputated and the last one is skinned from head to toe he starts marching to the alheim plains alongside his comrades without realizing that it's a trap laid by the military a crimson death fills their field of vision upon arrival celum and a bunch of other AIDS of hosman are killed in an instant by vulmer terror is evident in his eyes hosman has a moment of silence on the battlefield he finally has realized that this is his karma for his lust of Glory he moves when he has to dodge a dead body of one of his soldiers Enlightenment with a sight of cadavers vulmer cannot believe his eyes that this is the same seventh Army that destroyed the southern Imperial division these are just a bunch of weaklings plus the monster girl he heard about is even here bro expected a Blockbuster movie and got a low-budget film hosman thinks about the sugar-loving cheerful girl and laughs at vulmer telling him that the girl he is looking for is in another unit for now he has to deal with this Major General hosman gets in a stance to fight but vulmer leaves him hanging as he turns away he really is disappointed but comes back to fight the so-called Major General because he should at least get something for his dear Rosen Mar vulmer expects him to sing a beautiful song of death as he kills hosman hosman blocks the unusual large axe but vulmer keeps pushing in husman's Sword is right above his soldiers and it keeps being pushed into his arms Blood starts oozing out of his arm and this might be the end for him but wait vulmer is sent flying away by the night in The Shining Armor major Olivia husman sees the body flying away and turns to take a look at his cute savior with a smile on her face as usual Olivia commands her soldiers to take their positions and turns back to hosman cuz that was a close one she quickly comes back to her senses and salutes hosman and announc say that she is relieved to know that he's safe hosman manages to crack a small smile and tells Olivia that there is no time for irrelevant salutations but it is a sin according to Colonel Otto's teaching says Olivia bro's angry face and rules will haunt the poor girl till her grave hosman is injured and Olivia asks him to leave because his death would mean that she went through all the trouble for literally nothing she even skipped lunch for the stupidity vomer has finally gotten up and greets Olivia with a smile asking if she's done yet Olivia apologizes for the surprise attack earlier but vulmer liked it cuz it's been a long time since someone has made him taste dirt Nothing Else Matters since he has gotten to meet Olivia but she doesn't even know him vulmer seems like a celebrity Super Fan no doubt the little Monster's popularity in the Empire is unmatched and vulmer formally introduces himself and so does Olivia Veil storm even if they met for just a short time vulmer blood boils at Olivia's mockery and he is excited to have a blast fighting Olivia but the poor girl doesn't understand what's so fun about dying it's not like he can have any tasty food after death but okay a few clashes and attacks later Olivia realizes the extreme odic power of vulmer she is excited to give Zed a delicious meal by killing him back at the front lines of alheim plains a back and forth struggle goes on Claudia fights the masses of crimson Knight and hopes that her major has reached hosman on time a soldier hurriedly comes up to Olivia to inform her that the enemy is attacking from the rear they successfully managed to break the enemy's Siege Lines by forc to meet husman's regiment and adopted a defensive strategy to create a path for the injured to leave but now it's time to change the defensive formation Claudia turns around and orders gos to give it his all to stop the enemy's Advance after getting rid of a few more Crimson nights she comes across lamia vulmer Aid and she has only one concern and that is whether the silver-haired monster is the commander of Claudia's Cavalry the duo swords cling with spinning slashes and Swift paries the fight goes on Claudia manages to land a kick on lamia's Annoying face and she smirks in return Peak K-pop crazy fan Behavior by the lieutenant and her Aid they are whipped back to vulmer and Olivia they are still engaged in a conversation vulmer has absolutely no idea what this girl is blabbering about but she is definitely up to something she can stand his blows too plus she has the ability of an acrobat there must be a reason why this fake Hulk was assigned to fight her by Rosen Mar but still she is nothing to make a fuss about vulmer thinks that just because his soldiers can't kill her doesn't mean he can't either before he can complete his mental note Olivia swiftly moves to Landing sudden attack vulmer manages to block her but lets out a horrific scream like a grizzly bear his insane power isn't helping since the girl isn't even budging she is far far away from being crushed by him and that is when he realizes if he has tried to bite more than he could ever chew Olivia's black sword effect is finally starting to kick in as her enemy trembles due to anxiety fear and frustration this is Olivia's turn to put an end to this game with the second attack the sword and axe clang once again but this time Olivia's deep black SW send the Hulk's huge body flying into the air he isn't sure whether to feel embarrassed or playing his next move because he is about to fall to the ground but before he can touch the ground Olivia has come up with the perfect plan to get rid of the Beast she slashes his right arm first and vulmer lands on his feet to hysterically look around for her and before he can find her his meaty right arm is gone too next comes the rest of his Limbs and blood flows in the area like rainwater lless the so-called Hulk looks up at the sky and regrets his actions as death engulfs him this is what Olivia did in return for making her own Soldiers the limbus invitations a perfect Revenge after vulmer and his Aid are defeated the last standing leader is the Crimson Knights acting Commander Captain Gordo crisis as he faces death the weapon that the monster AKA Olivia is holding is not a black sword anymore it looks like a scythe the weapon used by death gods and fairy tales is the dark blade shape-shifting or is bro fortune telling his own death Gordo finally understands her real identity and Olivia veiled to storm is happy that at least one human from the Empire considers her human but nah surprise he has upgraded her from a monster to a death God Olivia raises her Scythe High into the sky and slashes Gordo into two pieces while informing him that she is not a death God Zed is but wait is it possible that he knew something about Zed yes it's too late now Olivia single-handedly destroys the opposition and the Battle of alheim plains ends with the victory of the royal Army back at the Citadel of Emory it's night time and gu is training hard in one of the rooms Ashton checks up on him and finds him pretty zealous to be training hard at this hour he just wants to become worthy of fighting alongside Olivia and halfast skills or efforts aren't going to cut it Ashton tries to convince guyle that he's strong enough as he managed to defeat one of the platoon leaders from the Crimson Knights but guile can't help feeling like an ant facing a one-horned beast in front of Olivia Ashton gets his concerns but compared to them both he is still the weaker one and not going to lie he does feel jealous guile shows off a little smile asking if Ashen wants to become stronger Ashton turns serious thinking that guile is probably mocking his weakness but he is still a man who wants to be strong Ashton pulls out his sword and shows off a few moves until he starts Breathing heavily guile holds on to his shoulders and says that being strong isn't just about swinging a sword and boy Ashton still thinks that guile is just consoling him he thinks of himself as less than a third rate with a sword and a spear the downgrading talk makes guile angry and he has to tell the oblivious guy that his real strength is his brain guile thinks that losing himself or any strong soldier on the battlefield won't be a big deal but losing the brains can lead to the entire regiment falling apart which is undoubtedly a huge deal and of course Olivia would be sad too and that shouldn't happen Ashton our oblivious guy doesn't understand why Olivia would be sad either guile is so done with him but Olivia is here to the rescue guile treats her like a princess and asks if he could be of any service it seems that the major is craving tender vampire meat and she wants to hunt for them right now guile pulls out his sparkling Valkyrie Di which she has meticulously researched for the favorite foods of Olivia mount abona in the west is where she can find the delicious Birds guile offers to accompany her and Olivia agrees but Ashton stops him for a talk these are the blood sucker human driller vampire birds that they're talking about pretty unsafe for guile but he tags along anyway and Ashton stays the next morning the table is filled to the brim with delicious meat it is the big haul from yesterday's hunt no one can believe the incredible amount of meat Olivia has brought about from The Vampire Birds they're having a hard time swallowing the information as well as the meat back at Windom Castle the released heat Haze Lieutenant Alvin has finally arrived with Olivia message for Rosen Mar I'm going to kill you so keep your neck squeaky clean such rude words had to be delivered personally to Rosen Mar she can't help but hysterically laugh at the monster's audacity that's excellent and Priceless she says Alvin has a piece of advice for her and gyle ask him to shut up but the vicious Rosen Mary seems interested in his advice the monster managed to kill a subordinate in an instant and the only reason he stands in front of Her Excellency is because he was spared he urges Rosen Mary to stay extremely Vigilant every new piece of information is increasing her interest in the monster because it's highly impressive how she managed to instill so much Terror on a heat ha's agent plus the fact that she killed the fake Hulk vulmer is crazy Alvin takes his leave as Rosemary assures him that she will take his advice into consideration since he is a heat Haze guile asks Rosen Mary for her future plan regarding the enemy but all she wants for now is to watch them the enemy has to pass through her to retake the northern region if they want to she says with a smug smile back at the Royal army base in Emory husman is reporting to General Paul he is being scolded for engaging With the Enemy without Olivia's independent Cavalry Regiment he got baited by the scouts whose bodies were out on display and lost, 1500 soldiers as a result since the climax of the war is just around the corner this is a huge loss the imbecile was just desperate for merit promotions when he was supposed to be a goddamn General shouts out Paul hosan apologizes and he will remain on standby in his quarters until his punishment is decided this isn't the time to talk about promotions But Otto and general Paul aren't really the ones to talk considering the fact that they received promotions recently and it seems that the local Problem Child Olivia has also arrived she is reporting for Duty exactly on time and Otto is acting childish as usual dude is just jealous of Olivia's cake privileges Paul appreciates Olivia for her recent achievements and thanks to her husman's unit was saved from Annihilation Paul asks for Olivia's opinion on the confrontation with the Crimson Knights even though Claudia has already reported on them well they were highly experienced and each member had exceptional abilities so in terms of power they undoubtedly had the upper hand nonetheless there is nothing to worry about for Paul because Olivia will personally kill their commander-in-chief she has also had one of the agents send a message to her and once she's dead no one can pose any problems Olivia is unusually cheerful and motivated today Paul Smiles at her and agrees to her suggestion but now it's time for Otto's questioning he wants to confirm if the northern Army really is targeting the seventh Army and that is indeed the case that means that Ashton's conjecture turned out to be correct Paul needs to change his perception of the anxious young boy Otto Paul and Olivia cannot come up with a reason to justify the northern Army hatred towards them but it is what it is it can be a personal Grudge or anything anyhow they need to get their preparations done to face the enemy and Olivia will play a central role again as per Paul Olivia salutes and leave leav as cheerfully as she can and didn't even ask for cake which is pretty scary honestly well all of this is to get connected to the fish imitating guy and get access to the library Ashton and Olivia are out on a walk in the residential area of Emory there are so many stalls yet so very few customers the once vibrant and bustling City Marketplace now stands as a haunting Testament to the Grim realities of war the air is thick with a palpable sense of fear and despair replacing the Lively Vibes that once filled the narrow streets while looking at the Grim faces of the people Ashton turns to his left to find Olivia gone has she found a rat again gladly not that's just some delicious aromatic food this time Ashton scolds her for running off but Olivia can't help but stare at Emory's specialty the stall lady is asking her to try some and she turns to Ashton with hopeful eyes it hasn't even been an hour since she had breakfast but guess this is what happens when someone is in their growth spurt AKA adolescence Ashton is left shocked when he hears the price of one skewer which is a whole silver coin but the lady doesn't seem to be joking by the looks of it Ashton thinks this is his chance to show off that he is the son of a merchant and that vendors tend to charge their prices based on their customer looks but the lady is having none of it food had become increasingly valuable at the moment due to the northern Army's Invasion so Ashton agreed to buy two skewers at full price he hands them to Olivia who turns ecstatic at the delicious taste the lady finally smiles and begins talking about war to these two military people she thinks that Olivia is way too young to be fighting Wars Olivia however ever asks the lady not to be sad nor does she need to cry because she will drive the Imperial Army away the lady laughs hopefully thinking that this little girl must be joking but she can literally drive them away in a surprising turn of events the lady hands over Olivia an entire box of skewers in return for one thing that is her life she asks Olivia to not die in war Olivia can feel the motherly love of the woman and assures her that she won't die Ashton and the saw lady watch her endearingly as she munches on the skewers jokes apart now it's time to go to their true destination a scheduled blacksmith shop in the city The Bold and strong blacksmith denies any orders for now but lets the duo in once he sees Ashton he has created a fine Masterpiece and upon removing the cloth from a stand a beautiful set of jet black armor is revealed the armor is a perfect Beauty as expected from one of the top three blacksmiths of furnac Kingdom the blacksmith thinks Ashton is buttering him so he reminds him of the remaining price that he has to pay now that the decisive battles against the Crimson Knights will begin there is always a chance of getting hurt so some sturdy armor was needed the blacksmith has made it by stacking layers upon layers of thinly stretched steel it's some special armor for the special girl he would have run away at once had he never faced this girl in battle such as her Aura Olivia seems touched as Ashton asks her about her opinions on the armor he asked for a jet black color specifically because blood is not as visible on black the new recruits are terrified whenever a little Miss death God shows up in blood soaked armor Olivia loves the armor and she genuinely thanks Ashton for it Ashton's face turns warm and his heart does some somersault at the appreciation the blacksmith stands in the background acting like a Kawaii girl appreciating the joys of Youth Olivia holds on to Ashton's hand so that they can leave for the barracks together the night is Pitch Black and Eerie silence fills the air at the north of the Kingdom at Fort larswood two guards hear some suspicious noise from the grass and one of them jokes about it being the death God the two talk about the horrors of facing her but there's no way she can be here one of them goes out to check and the other holds on to his whistle to call for help in case anything goes wrong the sound of the first guard spear sweeping the grass stops and the second one is about to blow the whistle to call for help before the whistle could even touch his lips Olivia takes him out by a head shot Goss is impressed by Olivia's accuracy in the dark plus the great distance for her it's no big deal but others can't even think of doing it she asks GS to prepare the flaming arrows and the forces surround Fort larswood Goss isn't sure if burning the fort is their best option but Olivia just wants to get rid of of all the humans inside it once and for all yikes gos says in his mind the arrows are shot and the Flames light up the night sky the crackling of burning Timber Echoes through the air as people let out horrific screams the survivors come rushing out and the Army keep shooting their arrows gos mentions Olivia's new name as kept by the Imperial Army and she likes death God way better than she ever liked monster gos doesn't understand her preference since both names are nearly the same but to Olivia death God is her family and the reason why she fights Rosen Mary had deployed 40,000 troops in the northern region ever since the Imperial Army took over and the independent cavaly regiment was a perfect countermeasure against that everything is going according to Ashton's plan so far the trio has lit a mini bonfire as they discuss their War plans in the depth of the Night Olivia is dozing off while Ashton and Claudia are passionate as ever the pros and cons are weighed as well as the strength of the troops the Imperial Army has more than 70,000 soldiers while the seventh Army has 28,000 the seventh Army has successfully managed to decrease the enemy numbers through secret Knight attacks but there's still a huge difference between them Ashton thinks that it's about time they should stop going on night raids and Claudia doesn't quite get what the boy's trying to say he hands her over a squared paper which clears out everything Ashton has been manipulating information the entire time the true purpose of the night raids is something else and their work is indeed bearing fruits the citizens anti-imperial sentiments are growing strong plus they have also deployed spies to spread rumors that the citizens are starting the uprising suspicion leads to more suspicion and the enemy will have no option but to focus on their citizens they don't want to get backstabbed after all due to this fact alone the 30,000 Imperial soldiers stationed around the region cannot afford to act recklessly they are all virtually ineffective just because of a chain of Suspicion Claudia finds the man in front of her pretty scary but he's simply desperate to survive his plan one means that 27,000 men of the Crimson Knights versus 28,000 men of the seventh Army it can be a fair fight but Ashton is is still aware of their disadvantages Claudia assures him as he should leave the rest of the fighters as the brains have done their job Claudia turns around to see major Olivia sleeping like a dog she has been fighting battle after battle these past few days and she is also infuriated at the stupid nickname she keeps getting how in the world can they call such a sweet girl That Hideous name Ashton just keeps humming and Claudia is even more frustrated at Ashton for carving the Val storm symbol into Olivia's armor because it signifies the death Gods but she's just finding the reasons to name Ashton now it's customary to have the symbols on your armor and everyone has them plus the reason why she's called that is probably due to her amazing slicing and dicing skills and she even likes her new nickname so there's nothing to fuss about Claudia's frustration leads her to curse but Ashton finds it cute Claudia turns to beat the crap out of him but both quiet down since Olivia asks them to do so they shake hands and both will be honored to fight alongside each other General Paul is informed that the independent Cavalry Regiment has successfully neutralized 30,000 soldiers that the main forces are requested to join them at the front lines the seventh Army stands ready and so does the Crimson Knights Rosen Mary Smiles in anticipation as she thinks it is an honor to be wanted by the death God Goss is scared to death and Rosen Mary seems the complete opposite the units are in formation when the time has finally come all that's left is the seventh Army to show up now Rosen Mary solemnly swears that she will personally rip Olivia's head off and bring it to General osan's grave as a decoration along with the report of the seventh Army's complete Annihilation Paul will fight to regain the northern region while Rosen Mary will fight to avenge oswan and with that the Battle of Carnac enters its opening act it is the second day of battle at the carnik valley and Olivia is on one hell of a rampage she is going around killing commanders to find out Rosen Mary's location but she has had no luck so far she is pretty good at playing hide and seek and major Mills is being questioned right now however he can't possibly give any proper answer since his body lies dissected into two clean parts GS reminds her to move forward and so they do they better hurry and kill the remaining soldiers in this Valley Rosa Mary has divided her troops into smaller units and deployed them throughout the valley meanwhile Paul has sent out units mainly composed of longbo archers for hit and run attacks a close battle might prove much more difficult and just as Ashton feared the battle is progressing in favor of the Imperial Army however the independent Cavalry Regiment spearheaded by Olivia is an exception full of energy and enthusiasm Olivia and Claudia Pierce through the enemy ranks on the third day of battle Major General lenberg commands his troops to change their formation to counter the enemy's arrows this time they will break through their Center and drive them back against the wall that is when Ashton commands his men to shoot their fire arrows a huge fire erupts once the arrows are shot and lenberg is left in utter shock the enemy spilled large quantities of oil before driving them out the corner lenberg laughs at the outstanding Battle Tactics of his enemy he is so impressed that he cannot hear his Aid calling out to him lenberg drops dead after receiving an arrow on his neck very sad anyways Olivia is getting upset because she still doesn't know where the enemy headquarters is however it is time for a break so Ashton's mustard sandwiches make Olivia burst with energy but honestly when is she ever not bursting with energy questions Ashton the enemy's headquarters is stationed at the west of the Carnes Valley and the soldier is reporting to girl and Rosen Mar a number of dissected bodies have washed up on the shore lenberg fell in the battle at Levis pass and his entire unit was wiped out as well guile is is angry and agitated that a man of wisdom and courage was defeated by the Regiment of death God Olivia more than 20% of the soldiers have been slaughtered by the death God's units it seems that the Crimson Knights are going nowhere until Rosen Mar joins the field she assumed her to be a gutter rat but nah she is so much more guile has a Counterattack strategy and that is to use around 10,000 troops to corner and wipe out the death God's units the strength of the remaining seventh Army isn't as much but his plan is rejected by Rosen Mar the death God will see right through it she explains the valley setup and all the reasons they cannot afford to fully focus on the death God kle is disappointed but Rosen Mar asks him to man up and it's not a good look for her Aid she will use his plan as a base and add some personal tweaks to it she will play the role of a bait and lure the death God into their trap each site is targeting and preing on each other upon arrival at the seventh Army Headquarters the independent Cavalry Regiment is ordered to join the war council right away Olivia is a bit overwhelmed since she wanted to give her Dusty armor a quick polish but maybe there's an emergency Olivia alongside Ashton and Claudia joined the remaining seventh Army heads inside at a huge table Colonel AO Begins by reporting that everyone has been gathered on a short notice because there have been reports of major activity within the enemy's ranks a unit that appears to be the Crimson Knight's main Force has relocated itself near the lower breaches of river Benham the unit is about 3,000 soldiers and as per the reports of the scouts there are no other forces in the surrounding area meant to protect this one a serious discussion ensues while Olivia mutters about the Dust on her armor in the background which looks like it has been on a date with a sandstorm another Soldier adds that the area where the enemy has relocated their main base is an open section of the canary Valley the Crimson Knights are the best fighters when it comes to mountains and that is how they have been dominating in the war so far yet they chose to relocate to a plain area with a meager amount of 3,000 soldiers this sounds like utter Madness the majority of the heads think that storming the main base right away and taking up the enemy's commander and is the best way to go about it as expected Olivia keeps attempting to clean her armor the majority of the heads are of the same mind but Paul after some consideration turns to Ashton Warren's officer Ashton thinks that this is most certainly a trap and all of the officers faces turn pale Ashton believes that they must not March into the main base without any precautions Paul asks him to explain on the basis in which he has drawn these conclusions Claudia however is highly impressed by seeing Ashton speak up and none of the military men dare question his hypothesis considering Ashton's track record they're pressed so hard that they know it's better to keep their mouth shut and Ashton's explanation begins well to begin with the enemy is clearly emphasizing how defenseless they are it is true that at first glance it seems like the perfect opportunity to attack the headquarters but that is precisely why it can be a hiding trap Ashton believes that the enemy has several units lying in Ambush away from their main base and that is why the scouts failed to locate any of them nearby they want to surround and annihilate the seventh Army in one swoop by luring them into their trap the secret troops must be stationed almost an hour's March from the main base does this mean they're underestimating the seventh Army well certainly not because the group station there is composed of the Crimson Knights most elite Warriors the seventh Army has already lost 2,000 of their troops and the enemy is clearly at Advantage at the point in war they are taking the independent Cavalry Regiment as a great threat and all of this is being done to eliminate them Colonel Otto thinks that the best way to deal with this is to pretend to fall into their trap while luring them into one of our our own Otto and Ashton devise a countermeasure without delay and the seventh Army will start moving as soon as they're done Ashton has gained quite a lot of confidence but he's still scared of Colonel Otto well that is understandable near the lower part of Benham River at the Crimson Knights headquarters Rosemary and her forces stand face to face with General Paul and the seventh army with the same old vicious smile of hers Rosen Mary is happy that the seventh Army fell into her trap that is when Paul commands his men to charge at the enemy and so the two Elite forces Clash Rosen Mary still has that satisfied smile on her face as the enemy's numbers are 10,000 Which is far less than what she had anticipated she thinks that 1 hour is more than enough to hold them off but here's a prank from the universe a fire has erupted in the surrounding areas Rosen Mary is shocked and impressed at the same time at the brilliant strategy of the seventh Army now the stationed Crimson Knights won't be able to join the fight even if they want to due to the fire one misstep could have been fatal to the enemy as well but they have managed to surround the area in Flames perfectly that is why it caught Rosen Mary off guard but still she has something on her mind which is something she cannot even comprehend because a new surprise has arrived for her a girl cuts and slashes through Rosen Mar's personal guards like snatching candy from little kids wa that's quite The Inferno there says Olivia as she manages to tear through Flames as well as the Crimson Knights it looks like she could even catch fire if she stayed around any longer lustrous silver hair porcelain white skin and a jet black suit of armor engraved with a Crest representing death death and finally a sword covered in black mist the death God is just as she has been described by the reports and Rosen Mary is more than delighted to greet her Rosen Mary asks to confirm the identity of the death God after she is done dealing with the guards Olivia is also excited to finally meet the commander and chief that she's been searching for desperately with a cute smile on her face Olivia asks the commander if she got her message and with a wide grin Rosen Mar assures her that yes she did get it now it is time for Olivia to get rid of her enemy Rosen Mar has finally found a worthy opponent and both of the women feel like they will get along really well it is time for Rosen Mary Von Berlinetta versus Olivia veiled storm they pass each other A Smile as their blades Clash on the red Battlefield the air crackles with tension as the two Swordsmen face each other in a dance of their blades each movement of these two skilled Warriors is calculated and precise the Duo's fighting prowess is seemingly even so who can possibly win from here onwards Olivia stands back for a minute to compliment Miss Rosen Mar on her odic for which is really high not to mention it is higher than that of vulmer whom Olivia killed the other day even though Zed said that such people were supposedly rare there are quite a few around or maybe Olivia is just lucky these days Rosen Mary has heard the words odic Force before but this is not the time to think about anything because Olivia is in for another attack and Rosen Mary successfully Dodges it Rosen Mary attacks too and Olivia dances around her moves this encounter reminds Olivia of her training with zed only a tiny bit though Rosen Mary attacks once again and cuts the tree behind Olivia in the process the tree lights up on fire as soon as the sword slices it Olivia is surprised by the sword's burning capabilities all the more reason to not get hit by it because she will get burnt no way Ros and Mary has yet to cut anyone with her sorcery enchanted sword thus she can't wait to see how Olivia will burn H Olivia surely has heard the word sorcery before may be termed as magic too but Rosen Mary has no idea about magic she doesn't care care about magic or whatever and gets into her fighting stance and jumps over to Olivia she attempts to slash Olivia's body but Olivia jumps high into the air making the sword swish by Rosen Mary thinks that the little girl must have got Wings on her back because she Dodges Rosen Mar strikes like it's nothing Olivia is impressed by her toughness because she is the only one after Zed who has managed to fend off her attacks for this long Rosen Mary wonders if Zed is some genius swordsman who is acting as this girl's Master but in all honesty even Olivia has no idea who Zed is to her Olivia feels like she has come across Rosen Mary's sword techniques before and she's right General oswan has taught her all the basics firsthand since her childhood that is when the realization strikes Rosen marry in complete denial she asks Olivia if she is the one who killed General oswan and Olivia is excited as she finally remembers the person whose swordsmanship resembles Rosen Mary Rosen Mary is getting frustrated but Olivia finally admits that she was indeed the one who killed oswan Rosen Mary's world shatters and she imagines her master's head on a spear as Olivia marches on with her troops her Aura turns dark as she announces that she will slice Olivia every 5 minutes and send her to hell she will make her death as painful as she can Olivia is confused by the sudden shift in Behavior as the two Clash again fueled by pure rage and hatred Rosen Mary's attacks are getting sloppier as she loses composure she can also feel Olivia's attacks getting heavier as she Huffs in size Olivia on the other hand hasn't even broken a sweat there is no doubt that Olivia's stamina IS F far more than her opponents she analyzes and predicts Olivia's next move but deep down she knows that she's screwed Olivia unexpectedly throws forward her sword and as Rosen Mary watches the sword Olivia manages to land right in front of her Rosen Mary's sword also falls to the ground as Olivia uses her fist this time Rosen Mary Shields herself using her arms but the impact of Olivia's punch breaks through her arms as well as the front of her armor Rosen Mary cusses out the little girl and Olivia is surprised at how Full of Life her opponent is even in this state Olivia thanks her opponent as she steps on her bleeding body ready to send another delicious meal to zed Rosen Mary lets out painful screams as Olivia digs her boots into her chest however a sound catches her attention as she turns back a bunch of arrows come swarming to Olivia as the remaining Crimson Knights have arrived to Rosen Mary's rescue Olivia has to dodge and move away from Rosen Mary's body as guile approaches and apologizes to her guile engages with her at a small conversation as he helps her get up from the ground he asks for forgiveness against the forces that have been dedicated here but as long as Rosen Mary survives they have always got a chance to fight guile carries her body and shouts out to the knights to not let out anyone near Rosen Mar it is time for them to retreat but Rosen Mary is as stubborn as ever she has to avenge General oswan but she can hardly accomplish anything in the state she's in as they prepare to leave Olivia screams out that this cannot happen she knows she will be in deep trouble because she got a little distracted by the skit just performed in front of her Olivia tries to make her way to miss Rosen Mary because there's no way she can let her Escape that is when a huge number of crimson Knights surround Olivia and she knows that they won't let her through even if they get killed in the process back at the Imperial Army's base at ke Fortress young Felix and general Gladden are having a talk over Ros andary her injuries are rather severe but her life isn't in danger according to the Healer however it will take her a long time to recover because not only are her arms broken but her internal organs are damaged as well now that it has come to this Felix suggests temporarily halting the conquest of the north because no one can replace the Crimson Knights after all key reminisces over his meeting with Death God Olivia who visited the Fortress for the prisoner exchange she's the one who obliterated a lot of the Crimson knights in the Carnac battle he cannot even imagine how powerful she must be as for Chancellor di armis she has suggested maintaining the status quo in the north and has left the rest to Felix and gladin and Felix's aure Knight will stay immobilized for now according to diis gladin asks Felix to take over the Crimson Knight respon responsibility until Rosen Mary recovers the news of the Crimson Knights defeat must have spread throughout the kingdom and the other nations such as swaran and Estonia will be getting funny ideas by now they will think of it as an opportunity to attack the Imperial Army but gladin Helios Knights will take care of them the Royal 7th Army has taken over the winom castle and all the traiter Lords over there including count Conrad wisdom are being thrown into the dungeons as per General Paul's commands they were wagging their tails to the Imperial Army's commands when they should have fought and died honorably for the cop of their citizens Conrad shouts out that he is the direct descendant of Euro Tristan and he doesn't deserve such treatment but Paul is pretty sure that the hero will be rolling in his grave knowing that his descendant has stooped so low count Conrad is publicly assassinated and the entire town Witnesses the scenes the independent Cavalry Regiment has been busy wiping out the remaining enemies while marching towards Windom Castle a task given by General Paul meanwhile as the independent Cavalry Regiment merily sweeps through the remaining enemies like a group of knights on a quest for the whole Grail there is one amongst them who can't quite find the humor in the situation poor Olivia cloaked in her own personal stormcloud of Gloom and regret seems to be auditioning for the role of tragic heroine of the Year much of the concern of her companions Claudia and Ashton who look on with a mixture of sympathy and bewilderments Claudia has lost count of Olivia's heavy size so far but Olivia raises her head trying to tell everyone that she is just fine she offers her sweet horse Comet a cookie who keeps sniffing it Claudia suggested that her horse would prefer sweet potatoes much more over cookies but cookies are much tastier and she's right as the horse Chomps and munches on the cookie happily just what is up with this horse says Claudia she thinks that it's the right time to ask Olivia why she's been feeling so dejected lately since it's her duty to know and it's all because she let Rosen Mary escape the day Rosen Mary escaped major Olivia stood between the Myriad of corpses with her blood soaked jet black sword in her hand staring dazedly up at the sky and from then on until now all the remnants of the Imperial Army have been wiped out but Olivia's sadness remains she wanted to kill Rosen Mary and she couldn't do that even if the victory is theirs the sadness of Olivia remains she is just worried that Mr Fish Face won't let her into the Royal Library because of her failure Claudia size out in relief because she has finally figured out the thing that has occupied Olivia's mind for the past few days she is already a legendary figure if her feets in battle are considered and there's no way Mr Fish Face will deny her entry Claudia assures her that she will make sure that Olivia enters the Royal Library even if she has to hold a sword by the neck of ninarts son or Mr Fish Face Ashton fidgets with his fingers and asks if he can come along too of course he can as he has promised to treat Olivia to the most delicious cake in the Royal Capital the heavy darkness is lifted and the entire regiment is relieved now a cold breeze pickles the troops as they once were by the kingdom of asseria winter is arriving as the mountain peaks are covered by Thin sheets of snow now Olivia hopes to visit the library before winter arrives back in the Holy Land of mcka a new force is on the move as they hear about the Crimson Knight's defeat at the hands of the seventh Army the Sarah of mcka is in a conversation with Amelia stost mechia assumes that the Invincible General from the first Army must have joined the battlefield but is surprised to find out that the defeat of the Crimson Knights came at the hand of the seventh Army she finds out about the death God and demon god Paul as referred to by the people who witnessed them the serif isn't sure how to feel about these nicknames since her Nation worships only goddess sta as the one true God the number of deities present in the seventh Army is funny to her because they sound like such an interesting Bunch mechia wishes that Rosen Mary was dead but since she's not she commands Amelia to take 3,000 troops to Fort atoria of the Imperial Army to take full advantage of the situation both of them seem nowhere near Holy by the looks on their face just two creepy warmongers the furnace Kingdom has burst into celebrations due to the great victory over the Imperial Army in the north the seventh Army is on a roll in the Heart of the City dancers twirl the aroma of fresh food fills the air and seventh Army souvenirs are being sold ninh Hart and his agant Lieutenant Katarina pass through the bustling city streets all the young ladies are fangirling over the handsome ninarts on and Katarina looks back at the dancers who are offering couples to come nin har offers Katarina a dance and she blushes intensely in shock

of Iris plain was promoted to briger General and he has been really busy ever since Olivia and Claudia have put in a request for an audience but nart schedule is so tightly packed that not even a kitten could squeeze through it however Katarina does manage to make some time by postponing a meeting because the two must have an important matter to discuss Olivia cheerfully arrives salutes and presents a gift to ninarts normally he would have considered it as a bribe for promotion but Olivia has no such ambition so he is quite confused nart opens the box to be greeted by a bunch of fishes which Olivia fished herself ninh Hart does like fish and turns to his childhood friend Claudia who must have revealed his favorite food winter is the perfect season for solo fish they are rich in fat and delicious when grilled yum now it's time for the Moment of Truth Olivia's eyes burn with an intense passion as she reveals her desire for entering the Royal Library Katarina clarifies to Nyhart that Olivia is probably asking for permission to the Royal Library Olivia is extremely hyped and is practically jumping and explaining everything frantically Claudia also steps in to explain and ninh Har has finally got hold of the situation ninh har does not inquire further about Olivia's fixation on the family name she inherited but he promises to contact the Royal Library on her behalf she cannot believe that she has actually got the permission and nin heart assures her she has Avenged the murder of his friend and this is the perfect opportunity for him to repay the debt and considering her military achievements it's obvious to Grant her permission with a happy and hopeful glimmer in her eyes Olivia aggress ly thanks the briger in front of her normally entrance to the library means going through an arduous process but nart has made it easy for Olivia Olivia happily hugs and thanks Claudia as well Claudia had planned to strangle her cousin neinhart on the off chance if he refused to Grant permission but I guess she doesn't have to go that far nin Hart Shivers in confusion because he has just narrowly escaped death
