Chapter 4: The Night before the War

A week had passed since Count Salzberg received Ryoma’s letter. It was a declaration of war, and Salzberg had resolved to fight him directly. As such, he was gathering armies to Epirus.

A thick layer of leaden clouds blotted out the afternoon sky. A force of cavaliers clad in metal armor rode down the western highway, kicking up dust in their wake. Unfortunately for them, rain began pelting down in big fat drops. The large-built man leading the group sat atop a black horse and glared up at the gray sky. He clicked his tongue in annoyance.

The highway they were on led from the Bertrand barony to the citadel city of Epirus. The man yanked on the reins, prompting the horse to stop, and looked around. All he saw were pastures. There wasn’t anything that could offer them shelter from the rain, except for a few trees standing pathetically at the roadside. He was leading a group of over a hundred men; those few trees wouldn’t cover even half of them. Whoever had to stand outside of them would be drenched.

“Tch, it looks like the rain’s only going to get heavier,” he grumbled, spitting at the ground bitterly. “It’s annoying enough that old Salzberg pretty much twisted our arm into helping him with this war. Now the weather’s trying to ruin our day too.”

He then turned around and shouted at the rest of his men. “All forces, halt! No point catching cold before a major battle! It’s a bit early, but we set up camp here for the day.”

The man’s name was Robert Bertrand, the second son of the Bertrand barony. He was in his late twenties or early thirties, but his menacing aura made him seem ten years older. He gave the impression that he was a virile, dangerous man, and the scar carved into his right cheek was exceptionally eye-catching.
