The northern frontlines, also known as the mountain range of the snow god, was one of the fiercest battlefields of the Germion Kingdom . With a fierce climate, one filled with the white despair of a long winter and a brief summer, the people that frequented it were mostly ruffians .

Ever since the Kingdom of Germion was founded by an evil swordsman, they have been steadily expanding their borders, and just recently, 50 year s ago to be more specific, they’ve finally started to set their sights on the snow god’s mountains .

The tribes surrounding the mountain range known as Yugushiva were hostile to the Germion Kingdom . Their people were skilled with the sword, and many of them came to be known as fierce gods . Germion Kingdom suffered in their hands .

But everything changed when a hero appeared .

With the great sword he wielded, he called forth lightning and thunder, he was the adventurer, Gulland Rifenin .

He went around the battlefield and claimed four chieftain heads . He was a holy knight and a hero .

He even managed to unify the soldiers that the weak-hearted commanders could not, allowing the war against the yugushiva to progress smoothly .

It has been 4 years since he assumed office .

After overcoming the disadvantage in numbers and driving the battle north, they were finally only one step away from defeating the yugushiva .

It was that same hero who was greatly puzzled when a messenger from the capital arrived at his office .

“As if the trip to the forest wasn’t enough, they even want me to attend a farewell party? It seems his majesty isn’t very interested in ending the battle here in the north,” Gulland sarcastically said .

The messenger insisted . “You may not like it, but you must go . These are the king’s orders . ”

“Tch!” Gulland snapped his tongue, causing the messenger’s countenance to pale as he bowed his head .

“Fine . Who’s going to substitute for me in my absence?” Gulland asked .

“None . The northern frontlines is simply to keep status quo… The winter should bind the enemy’s movements, so it was decided that Lord Gulland’s short absence would not be a problem,” the messenger explained .

“Well, isn’t hiiiiis majesty well informed,” Gulland said in a low voice as he stifled his anger .

It was true that most of the yugushiva have been killed . Although they were skilled in the blade, before Gulland’s Blue Thunder, they were as helpless as lambs .

Their movements also grew dull in the winter and could not attempt any large-scale attacks .

Gulland could indeed leave without any problems . The fact that the king had seen through that greatly annoyed him .

“Then, Lord Gulland, I have given you the king’s message . If you’ll excuse me…”

The messenger bowed and turned heel, leaving Gulland alone to grumble .

It was an order, so he had to go .

“It’s really annoying, but it looks like I’ll have to see that saint again,” Gulland said, then he called over his subordinates to give them orders .

“Why are you leaving too?” Gulland said, even more annoyed, as an armored female knight with red hair tied in a bundle appeared before him .

In her hands was the sword she received from the king’s treasury, Vashinant . This scarlet maiden was quite popular among the people .

“It seems an important mission is being entrusted to me,” she said .

Though a holy knight, it was only in name, as she did not yet have the strength fitting of the name . She has been going around the battlefield to learn from other holy knights . Once, she went south, then she came back to the north .

“Tch, well, whatever . I’m going to the capital to report . That’s all, but… Oh, right . You’re acquainted with that saint, right?” Gulland said .

“Did something happen to Lady Reshia?” Lili asked .

Lili has already gotten used to Gulland’s rough way of talking . She no longer cowered when he spoke, and instead, even started speaking back . Gulland himself has also grown fond of Lili and her cursed sword after their many battles together .

Of course, he would never say it out loud, but he did acknowledge her .

“Apparently, she’ll be going back to the Ivory Tower . Seriously, what a pain! Getting in the way of my battle!” Gulland said, annoyed .

“Then please tell her something in my place,” Lili calmly said .

“Hah? And here I thought you’d cry and beg me to take you along . You sure are taking this in stride,” Gulland said, surprised .

“I’ve already been informed through Lady Reshia’s letters . Besides, I am no longer a child who bawls her eyes out, but a knight who wields her sword for the people . I won’t cry anymore,” Lili said .

“Hmph, well haven’t you grown,” Gulland said .
