The wreckage of broken EU KOGs.

 

A huge mass of force that allowed no resistance at all overran the area.

There was no such thing as a strategy.
The overwhelming numbers, technology and power of the enemy attacked us with lightning speed.

Before there was time to evacuate, the base was dropped in a matter of hours when the enemy shadow was seen.

 

“So much for this..”

 

Daniel murmured in the base’s operational control room, which was already surrounded.

The air is heavy and Rhode is silent.

 

Rhode had been here for fun until now.

He is still too young to understand what it means to fight.

But today he truly understands what is happening now, and he is slowly coming to understand what war is all about.

 

“Uncle..”

 

“I’m sorry, Rhode.
You’ve done a great job.”

 

So is there any way to save everyone?

But no matter how much we think about it, it’s beyond the dimension where strategy and fighting methods can help.

 

If we had at least half the strength, we could have found a way to take it.

But this was the edge of the border, and the difference in strength was more than ten times greater.

 

“We are already surrounded..? A breakthrough force like this, So this is the rumoured Holy Knights ..
how can we stop something like this?”

 

The Supreme Commander then opens his heavy mouth and gives his final order.

 

“..I give you my final order.
Stand by your loved ones, I am proud to have fought with you all..”

 

Everyone salutes and weeps at that final order.

 

The soldiers leave the command center one after another.

Many of them lived on this base with their loved ones.

They spend their last moments together with their wives and children.

 

And then there is Daniel.

 

***

 

“Scarlett..
it’s time to use the last resort.”

 

“..
okay.”

 

“Mum, what’s the last resort?”

 

Scarlett then looks at Rhode and grabs the ring on his chest.

“Rhode, you need to calm down and listen to me.
You are half Asgard, and that too with Emperor’s blood.”

 

“What do you mean!”

 

“I’m sorry I didn’t tell you.
Your father is..
an Orgol Asgard.
He’s the emperor now.”

 

The fact is told to the child.

Scarlett once had a child by the emperor.

When diplomatic relations between the EU and the Empire were still friendly and they could come and go as normal.

But Scarlett was not an Asgard, which gave birth to many enemies.

 

But the Emperor did not protect the weak.

When Scarlett sensed that Rhode’s life was in danger, she fled from the Asgard empire.

It was her brother Daniel who helped her to do so.

 

Then the international situation worsened, the EU and Asgard developed a decisive rift.
The Cold War began and diplomatic relations were severed.

And now it has developed into a real war.

 

The Emperor himself may have already forgotten about Scarlett and Rhode.

 

However.

 

“That’s why I’m giving you to the Asgard Empire.
They may kill me, but I have no choice but to stay here and die already.”

 

Therefore, she reveals to him that he is royalty and hands Rhode over to the Empire.

Frankly, the EU will have a disastrous future if this continues, and because they knew that, it was the last thing they wanted to do.

 

Besides, Rohde has outstanding abilities.

He will survive, that was Scarlett’s belief.

 

“..So we are going to the Asgard Empire now?”

 

“Yes..”

 

***

 

“What do you want to do about the messenger from the enemy? What do they want?”

 

“The Emperor has ordered us to kill them all.
We must obey, but at least listen to what they have to say.
It’s the last mercy.”

 

The emperor’s orders are absolute.

Nevertheless, Sieg still hesitates to kill the people of the EU, some of whom are his former friends.

But he kills his heart and devotes himself to the mission.

 

Because that is what it means to be a professional soldier.

 

Still, Sieg’s character comes out.

Sieg decides to listen to a man who is about to tell him something, knowing that he will be killed.

The KOGs that have surrounded the base are temporarily stopped.

The base is already in a state where it is possible to attack the base at any time with a single word from Sieg, as he has already shown no intention of defiance.

 

And the name of the messenger who is captured and taken before Sieg is Daniel.

 

“I have no intention of fighting! I know that I will be killed.
But please just read this letter.”

 

Sieg, decides to read the letter, of a soldier who was prepared to lay down his life and was trying to fulfill the mission, and even though he was an enemy.

 

And only he himself reads it, and cannot hide his surprise at the content.

 

“No way..
is this true?”

 

“Yes, they’re in there.
And a ring to prove it.
So please, just those two..”

 

“..OK.
In deference to your resolve, I swear in the name of Sieg Sylphid that I will deliver them safely to the Emperor.”

 

” ..thank you.”

 

And the muzzle of the gun is pointed at Daniel’s head.

Sieg shows his back.

 

“..No hard feelings.
We’re military men.”

 

“Yes, I understand that.”

 

***

 

Scarlett and Rhode are protected by Sieg and taken into a transport vehicle.

Many people who lived on the base were captured.

Rhode does not know what happened to anyone other than the two of them.

 

But he understood somewhat from the sound of the gunfire that rang out.

Even for a boy who is only eight years old, the thought of people dying tears at his heart.

 

And then Rhode is taken away.

And in front of him is the 99th Emperor, Orgor Asgard.

 

“Scarlett..
it’s been a long time.
It’s been nearly five years now.”

 

“..Yes.”

 

“I know why you ran away, and you ran away to the EU..
no wonder you can’t be found.
But forget it, I’m not interested in you anymore.
Now, take her to the prison.”

 

“Mother!”

 

“Wait.”

Scarlett is taken to another room.

When Rhode tries to grab her hand, Sieg catches her.

There is only Sieg, Rhode, and the Orgor left behind.

 

The emperor then sees a young boy.

He looks at the boy, who seems somewhat like himself.

 

“Rhode..
that’s the name I gave him.
It means to be a ruler.”

 

“Damn! Are you my real father? Then let my mother go!”

 

“Yes, I am.
Before that, I want to ask you, did you really defend those borders?”

 

“I only proposed an idea, and everyone turned it into a real operation.
I didn’t do it alone, but it was definitely me who drafted it.”

 

Watching this from the side, Sieg feels awe and amazement.

A child of only eight years of age has formulated a strategy with a purpose, and has made the Asgard Empire suffer to the point of drawing out an army of Holy Knights.

 

He was skeptical that such a dream story was possible.

 

And now, right at this very moment, his mother was taken away from him, and yet his upset was fleeting.

 

—He is a smart boy..
really.
And what a mentality.

 

It’s not even possible for an ordinary soldier to look the Emperor straight in the eye and talk to him.

 

And moreover, he is now being brought here as a prisoner of war.

An ordinary child would cry and not be able to talk to him.

 

And yet, he is straight forward and understands where he stands.

And he even appeals to his own worth.

 

The emperor laughs when he sees this.

He likes the strong ones, even more so.
if they were his own blood children.

 

“Phew.
Sieg, make the active military strategists his teachers.
Rhode, prove your worth to him.
Then I’ll let you live without killing you.
You and your mother, too.”

 

“Does that mean..
you approve of this child?”

 

“Yes.
But you have one year, and in one year’s time you must be ready for battle.
And keep winning.
If you have achieved what I want, I won’t kill your mother and I’ll let you go.”

 

Hearing this, Rhode’s tearful eyes lit up with a fire of will.

 

“..Promise me..I will.
I will save my mother.”

 

—What a child, are these the eyes an eight-year-old can have? And he’s still the same age as my daughter with this..

 

“Ha ha! Good eyes.
I keep my promises.
Yes, 100, win 100 battles on the battlefield.”

The emperor set two conditions.

Within one year, you must learn enough to go into battle.

And to keep winning and produce results that the emperor approves of.

 

Under these conditions, he will spare his mother’s life.
But until then he will not be allowed to see her.

That was the order from Orgor to the Rhode.

 

From that day onwards, Rhode’s battle began.

 

***

 

“Well done.”

“He is only eight years old..
he is indeed a member of the royal family.”

“Then, next, MiRhode, let’s start with this game board.”

 

In a mock battle, he beat all the other strategists on the field.

He absorbs everything he is taught and sublimates it by reading and sublimating the books of the past himself.

 

Adults throughout the empire replaced his teachers, all of whom did not last more than half a month.

He also played chess for brain training.

After a year, he mastered it so well that he won the championship in the Asgard empire.

 

Talent is a God-given gift.

As if to mock the ordinary man who works hard, he learns to know 100 with the effort of 1.

But he works harder than that ordinary person, more than anyone else.
Then there is no one who can compete with him.

 

No ordinary person can beat a genius who works hard.

However, a genius who works hard cannot be born without a miracle.

 

Ordinary people learn to strive because of their ability.

Geniuses, because of their ability, give up trying.

 

However, a monster is born of the times, which appears rarely.

A genius obliged to strive by a mighty swell.

Undoubtedly, Rhode Asgard was one of these geniuses.

 

However, deep in the heart of this genius, Rhode.
There is is nothing but the image of his kind mother taken away from him.

If he could save his mother’s life by working hard, that single thought was his driving force.

 

He felt like vomiting blood, and he literally refused to sleep.

Day after day, he soaked it all up, continuing an effort that could be called madness.

 

And then the time came.

The promised year, the first battle of the era’s favorite, Rhode Asgard, had begun.

 

“Mother.
I am off.”

 

The devil’s brain that plunges the EU into terror.

The battle of the boy who almost destroyed the country he once tried to protect, for his mother’s sake, has begun.
