“Master Strategist, I’ve got the enemy in my sights! There are about a thousand of them, all in Seitou armor!” Gan Shigou—who’d volunteered to act as our lookout—called down from the tree he had scaled with his battle-axe still strapped to his back.

“Yeah, I see them too, Shigou,” I—Ruri of Kobi, strategist of the Chou army—shouted up from the safety of a bush, peering through my spyglass.

Seitou’s thousand-strong (Shigou’s estimate appeared correct) light cavalry and infantry were pouring off the main road and into the forest where we were waiting for them. They still held their military flag high, but in their mad scramble to escape their pursuers, they had broken their formation.

Half a month had passed since we’d taken back Keiyou, as well as defeated the Millenary Diviner, Hasho, and the Black Wolf, Gisen—the man who’d burned down my homeland—in battle, though not once in those two weeks had the Chou army taken time out to recuperate. No, instead, we split our forces and sent soldiers to the various regions in Koshuu, chasing out the Seitou invaders and freeing captured cities and villages. Despite how arduous a task this was, not a single person complained, thanks to the high morale among the soldiers. The princess imperial Kou Miu’s appeals, complete with a stamp from the Heirloom Seal of the Realm, also served as motivation for them.

“Patriots, gather under my banner! Kou Miu and the Chou army need your help!” read the entirety of the manifesto. Its effectiveness lay in the second sentence, because after all, it had been the Chou army, not the emperor, that had protected the Ei Empire from the looming Gen threat for the past fifty years.

I lowered my spyglass and adjusted my blue hat. The enemy was so disorganized and their morale so low, I doubted they could survive our ambush, though since we outnumbered them three to one, they never stood a chance anyway. No, the problem had never been defeating the Seitou soldiers, but something else entirely. My heart started beating faster in anxiety and frustration as I cursed that idiot in my head.

Shigou climbed back down, nimbly picking his way through the branches despite his massive frame. and once his feet were planted on solid ground again, he tugged at his mustache. “Their formation doesn’t match up with the intel we received. For one thing, there are way less of them. And where’s their heavy infantry? Those guys were our targets. Have they already joined up with the Millenary Diviner’s soldiers on the outskirts of Koshuu?”

“There’s a simple answer to that,” I said. “Take a closer look at their rear.”

“Huh?” He shot me a confused look, then squinted at the thousand soldiers that made up the Seitou army, his men following suit. The sharp eyes that had served them well during their bandit days easily latched onto the lone black-haired general in hot pursuit of the fleeing soldiers. As soon as he recognized the general, his expression tightened, while his subordinates muttered among themselves in shock.
