“All forces, line up!”

Cla-cla-clang.

On the part of the eastern plains on the Laviter Empires side of the Kovilan Mountains nearest to Nermans central city, Denfors.

There, Skyknights from the 2nd Army stationed near the capital and the 6th Regiment from the Southern Corps had gathered as early as five days instead of one week. At the command of Count Lukence, who had been named the commander of this offensive, they arranged themselves neatly into a long line. This person had appeared seemingly out of nowhere and had become Commander, by order of the Emperor. But the Laviter Empire knights were absolutely obedient to the Emperors command, and they instantly lined up without complaint. In the line were several counts in charge of the Skyknights.

“Men, today, we will attack Nerman, the territory that disgraced the name of His Majesty the Emperor and the Laviter Empire. As I said in the strategy meeting, you must move according to what I have planned. Anyone who disobeys will be severely punished, on my name as the Commander who was granted complete authority over this force by His Majesty!”

“Yes, sir!”

Lukence was painfully aware that he lacked the years of service, the experience, and the prestige to command such elites. That was why he used the Emperors name to reassert discipline. He had to make this invasion of Nerman a success. If he didnt, his life would be as good as forfeit.

‘Well fly starting now and take two breaks. Then, well ambush Denfors at night.

Lukence was already extremely familiar with Nermans terrain and Denfors. The attack route was clearly drawn out in his head. New defensive weapons might have been added to Nerman, but they would undoubtedly fall to their crushing offensive. Moreover, night battles were also called battles of morale. In large-scale night aerial battles, where an enemy and ally could hardly be differentiated, the side with the greater morale would certainly win. And the Skyknights of the Laviter Empire had more than enough morale and loyalty to spare.

“All forces, swiftly mount your wyverns!”

“Yes, sir!”

The Skyknights moved in perfect order at his command.

‘Huhu… Kyre, Im coming to rob your house while youre away! Kuhahahaha!

The prospect of conquering Nerman had him giddy with anticipation.

Lukence also got onto his wyvern, wanting to step on the hateful land of Nerman even one moment sooner…
