「Commander, Commander Rothbacherrrrr!」
Sara-chan looked at the dragon knight she just shot dead on the head and the dragon knights who were struggling to get out of the net.
「What do we have here? I thought he was wearing some sort of pompous armor but it turns out he's the commander of the dragon knights.」
Sara-chan quickly reloaded her flintlock rifle and shot the young dragon knight, who was shouting "commander commander", in the head.
She then shouted at the gunners, who were killing the struggling dragon knights under the net one after another with their guns, and at the soldiers and civilian soldiers, who were stabbing them with spears.
「Everyone! I, Sara Rod, captain of the volunteer army have killed the enemy commanderrrr!」
「You did it, Captain Sara!」
Miruko, the boy soldier that was casually protecting Sara-chan, also laughed.
The Losgow Volunteer Corps proudly announced to their allies that their Captain Sara had defeated the enemy commander.
The report of the defeat of the enemy commander raised the morale of the soldiers and volunteers in the city even more and even the civilian soldiers performed brilliantly with their spears in their hands.
Gil Heron, chief officer of the soldiers in the royal capital, was watching with a sense of dismay as Sara-chan and the rest of the Losgow Volunteer Corps fought their way through the battle.
He called out to Alan Mortar, a young volunteer army captain who was fighting nearby.
「Hey, Captain Alan, I don't know if this is a good time to ask you this, but….why is your whole volunteer army being commanded by a little girl?」
「Ah, that's Captain Sara so it can't be helped.」
Alan Mortar, second captain of the Volunteer Army, chuckled.
Well, the soldiers in the castle, who did not know what was going on, were understandably puzzled.
Captain Sara and the Losgow Village Volunteer Corps, which Sara leads, are a group of children.
As soon as they arrived, they took command of 500 volunteer soldiers, 300 soldiers from the royal capital, and 3000 citizen soldiers who had responded to the emergency call.
「No, captain-san. If we are all under your command, I'll understand it but no matter how much I think of it, that girl is a little too young.」
「Sara-chan is also a captain.」
「However, you two are both captains. Wouldn't it be better if you, the elder, took the command? Our soldiers are also puzzled when a little girl suddenly took command.」
「Captain Sara is very special. She's a member of hero-sama's personal guard or in other words, she is….this.」
Alan gave a rueful laugh and raised his pinky finger.
The serious old man, Chief Officer Gil, was surprised and became incredulous after seeing that.
「She's a little girl, how can she be a mistress…..Ah, I see. I heard it from the rumor that hero-sama is a lolic…..」
「Hold it right there! This is a top-secret info of the volunteer army. If you value your life, don't say one more word….」
Alan pressed his raised pinky finger directly to his lips as if saying, "keep it a secret".
Chief Officer Gil nodded deeply with a sullen expression on his face.
If they win this war, the hero will become the husband of the new queen of the kingdom.
Half of the dragon knights fell as they raid the royal capital from the sky. The surviving dragon knights could no longer approach the city for fear of the nets.
The victor in the battle of the capital is the Kingdom of Silesie.
If war continues at this rate, there's a possibility of the hero becoming the monarch of Silesie.
He would refrain from making any comments that could be construed as disrespectful to the royal family.
Besides, it is a common practice in this world for heroes in history to take random women as mistresses.

Meanwhile, at the imperial army headquarters, at the operational command center tent, the imperial general, Forcas Domos Dylan, was looking at the operations map with a sullen expression on his face.
Now that the Golden Lion Emperor Freed was receiving treatment from Archbishop Nicholas for a severe, life-threatening wound, General Forcas is the commander in chief of the 60000 troops.
Born into the prestigious Marquis Domos family of the empire, Forcas has been on the elite military path.
He is a noble, an outstanding strategist, and a mid-level mage. As an added bonus, he has flaxen hair, handsome features, and is perfect, earning him the nickname "Almighty" Forcas.
At the age of 25, he finally appeared on the stage of history.
If he wins the Battle of Silesie, his name will be inscribed in history books, not Prince Freed who's sleeping in the tent behind him. It will be him, the "almighty" general.
As much as he felt that way, he was irritated by the disappointing left-wing mercenaries, who collapsed even after he gave them the siege weapons.
Of course, he's not a shallow man who would lose his cool over it. He knew that the 6000 men on the left-wing of the kingdom were a formidable force.
There were 3000 soldiers in the kingdom's center and only 500 royal knights on the right-wing.
After quickly defeating them, all they had to do was surround and annihilate the remaining left-wing of the kingdom's army with their entire force.
「But even so, the right-wing is not moving well….」
「What are the 20000 troops doing against a mere 500 royal knights of Silesie!」
Beside Forcas, a big man, around 2m tall, was in rage.
He was Barbarossa von Berlant, the fiercest general in Germania.
Barbarossa, the fierce red beard general.
On the battlefield, he rides his horse and swings his big ax to send enemy soldiers into panic.
He is said to have led 5000 cavalrymen of the royal knights in battle nine times and he had beheaded a hundred enemy generals. He is a legend that truly lives up to his name as the fiercest general in Germania.
