บท 78: Chapter 78
"I beg your pardon? I think I heard it wrong, but did you just say that I need to lead the entire infantry in this attack?"
Lucretia nods her head and says.
"Yes. The prince is currently in Lunas, rallying all the soldiers he can to do a two-prong attack against Godwin. I want you to lead the infantry unit in this battle."
"Ah, that is the reason why I did not see the prince and his group in the camp. Nikea is with them, right?"
"That's right. She will be their bodyguard, and I also sent Lelei as his tactician."
I sigh and say.
"Very well. I will take the job."
"Thank you."
"When will we attack?"
She looks to the sky and says.
"We will attack at Dawn. We will attack them as the sun rises. It gives us enough light to attack but fast enough for them not to notice."
"Then we will move before dawn and attack them at dawn."
"That is correct, yes."
"Do you want me to tell the prince about this news?"
She frowns and says.
"That will be hard. If we send a runner, they will be noticed because of the distance between our two camps, and Godwin will know our plan. Not only that, but they need to go through Elven Forest, which you cannot do without the help of an elf."
"Right. However, there is nothing stopping us from going from the front."
"What?"
I give her a small smile and say.
"Chiyome."
"Yes, Lord Master"
Lucretia flinches a little when Chiyome dispels her concealment but still maintains her cool. Impressive.
"Chiyome can go there and send a letter to Lelei and Frey."
She nods and thinks for a second before saying.
"Very well. I will write something. Wait a minute."
She takes out a piece of paper and writes something. After a minute of writing, she folded the paper and gave it to Chiyome.
"Please give this to Lelei and the prince, Lady Chiyome."
Chiyome nods her head and disappears. I look at Lucretia and say.
"Anything else?"
"Not at the moment, no."
"Then I will take my leave."
Lucretia nods and gives me a thankful smile as I leave her tent. I look to the sky and walk to my tent. What should I do? There is a small village not too far away from our camp, and I can visit it. You know what? Let's do that.

|3rd POV|
The sun is not even rising, but there is a movement coming out of the loyalist camp. However, their movement is weird. Instead of going through the grassland, they go through the jungle to the west of their camp.
They want to create a surprise attack against Godwin.
As they march, fog starts to come off the river to their west, covering their movement.
As they reach the edge of the forest, they can see Godwin's camp near their location. Lucretia creates a signal, and now they are moving. They quickly march to Godwin's camp.
With the cover of darkness and the fog, they manage to get close to the camp unnoticed. When Godwin managed to notice them, it was already too late. A loud warhorn being blown makes them panic and try to defend the wall.
The Godwin Army manages to quickly take over the wall and rain down arrows on the incoming loyalist army. Gerrald makes sure to heal the two units, pushing the battering ram to the gate as the enemy shoots a hail of arrows at them.
Following from behind are three units of vanguard that carry massive shields. They will be the ones protecting them from the enemy behind the gate. After a few minutes of slow marching, they arrive in front of the gate, and the battering ram does its job.
The gate gets destroyed, and the vanguard runs forward to create a shield wall. With the gate destroyed, they slowly get inside the camp.
The Godwin army starts to send their infantry and cavalry to fight against the infantry that goes through their gate.
As Godwin focuses on the infantry inside their camp, someone in the distance watches with a smile. Lucretia takes out a small tube with a string on the end of it. She points to the top of the sky and pulls the string, shooting a firework into the sky.
A few seconds after the firework exploded into the sky, another war horn was blown from the north.
Shouting from the north is another army, smaller than the one attacking from the south, but an army nonetheless. At the head of the army is Freyjadour, wearing his armor and riding a horse. He commands his army to charge, and they go down the hill, charging into the camp.
Because they were busy with the army attacking from the south, they only managed to send a small unit of archers to defend the northern wall. They thought that they could hold for a moment with only a few units of archers defending the wall and the gate. They did not expect a young woman to kill the gate guard and open the gate for the prince and his unit to get inside the camp easily.
It did not take long before the entire Godwin army threw away their weapons and surrendered to the loyalist army. After the fight is over, Freyjadour raises his weapon high in the air and starts to cheer. The rest of the army started to cheer as well.
With this, Lunas are finally liberated from Godwin, and the people of Lunas can breathe a sigh of relief.

"Gerrald~"
I look to the side and see the prince and his group walk toward me. However, among them, I can see new faces. The first one is Haswar, Frey's oldest aunt. Standing next to her are two elves. I remember them. The first one is Isato, Haswar's personal assistant and priest, and the second is Urda, Isato's childhood friend.
"It is nice to meet you once again, Lady Haswar."
"Please call me Haswar, dear~ You deserve that."
Before I can even say anything, Sialeeds walks between the two of us and says.
"Please don't bother him with your usual behavior, sister."
"Mou~ Why?! He and I have already met in the past, and he helped Luna while risking his life!"
"That doesn't mean you can act like a child in front of him. He must be tired from the fight."
Instead of being upset, Haswar looks at Sialeeds with a teasing expression.
"Fufufufu~ Is the reason why you want to ask him to rest because you want to take care of him yourself?"
Instead of denying her, Sialeeds walks toward me and kisses me on my right cheek.
"Yes. Come on, Gerrald."
She drags me away while ignoring Haswar, cheering about how the Falena family will survive.
