245 – Call to End (5)
“…… Sir.”
“Mia…… , Blind…… ?”
“Brigadier Rumia!!!”
“Yes!? Uh, uh…….”
Rumia Bluet suddenly came to her senses at the sound of her voice calling her name. Looking around her, the staff of her 7th Mobile Brigade were looking at her with worried eyes.
“Are you okay? If you’re not feeling well, go in and rest for a while…….”
“It’s okay. The most important operation is ahead, and the brigade commander cannot be away.”
“But… ….”
“It’s really nice.”
Rumia Bluet spoke in her determined voice. In the end, the staff who couldn’t overcome her stubbornness looked at each other for a while, and then continued the briefing that had been cut off.
“As of yesterday, the unit that had resisted until the end surrendered, and the Army Group South of Soviet collapsed as it was. The order from the Expeditionary Force Headquarters is to go north as it is, pass through Mansk, and join Red October.”
The defeat of the Soviet Empire was certain.
As the Southwest Army Corps claimed itself as a corps for free consumption and resisted the imperial family, and even the Southern Army Group, which was resisting at least, was destroyed, in fact, the border area that bordered Western Polania and Uk ran was all but clear.
The headquarters of the Uk ranian Expeditionary Force mobilized the 5th Corps, which had been reorganized to some extent, and the troops from the mainland deployed in the Lunetsk region on behalf of the divisions under the 6th Corps, which complained of extreme fatigue from the continuous battles.
The spearhead was, of course, the 7th Mobile Brigade, which performed brilliantly throughout this war.
“What is the expected enemy resistance during maneuver?”
“As far as I know, there is one regimental level unit of the SS that retreated from the front line after being attacked by the 6th Armored and 8th Infantry Brigade. Perhaps, there is a possibility that additional troops will be deployed from the Guard Command.”
Lumia Blue looked at her tactical map. She had to think constantly. The moment she relaxed even a little, she felt like she would fall into an endless depression.
“We will set the start date for the operation in two days, at 08:00. Report to Corps HQ and Expeditionary Force HQ. Also, check the communication with nearby units and follow-up units in advance.”
“Confirmed.”
“Glory to the motherland!”
Her staff, who had been given her orders, saluted her, and Rumia lightly raised her hand to receive it.
Since the immediate attack operation was decided two days later, it is impossible to be idle.
Her staff members left the command post like the ebb tide, leaving Rumia Bluman alone in the tent.
She sat helplessly in her chair. Suddenly, Rumia closed her eyes, holding back the tears that were about to burst out.
News of Enoch Levandel’s warrior.
When Rumia heard the news, bitterness preceded her sadness. She remembered what Enoch had once said to her when he was drunk.
– Uk ran will perish.
-Following the full-scale invasion of the Soviet Empire, further invasions by the Free Democrats of Fru and the Reinhardt Empire will result in a complete loss of sovereignty in Uk ran.
The first time she heard it, it was so shocking that she couldn’t believe her ears. But now that I think about it, it was a really scary hit.
Soviet Empire actually invaded Uk ran.
If we hadn’t prepared for the war in advance, if we hadn’t quickly intervened in the civil war and hadn’t the reformists including Enoch Levandel organized the center.
Uk ranian forces would never have been able to stop the offensive in Lunetsk.
If that’s the case, the Reinhardt Empire’s forces would have secretly crossed the border and entered, just like Polania did.
The only thing King Orlando I could do, driven into a corner, was to entrust himself to the Free Democratic Republic of Fru.
A frighteningly predictable future.
However, that future has not arrived.
Enoch Levandel’s reforms and King Orlando’s active support changed the Uk ranian army from its skeleton, and exchanges with Polania and Balthor three countries greatly increased the durability of the war in Uk ran.
Now, it’s not just about defending the empire, it’s about striking the capital directly.
Just a few years ago, it has achieved remarkable growth that cannot be seen as a country that was frequented by thieves who crossed the border or pirates who made their nests in the Azov Islands.
And the end of that growth was right now in Rumia Bluet’s hands.
-Rumia’s role is very important. You must never give up.
Enoch Levandel’s clear voice rang in my ears.
-Rumia can do it. I trust the most…… If you are the lieutenant you depend on.
Rumia Blue lowered her head at those madly poignant words. Her silver hair hangs down and covers her face.
A few drops of tears soaked the hem of the military uniform. Biting her lip, Rumia moved her body without a word.
You can never show weakness in front of subordinates. How many times did Enoch emphasize that when the commander is agitated, the entire unit is agitated.
War, war never changed.
Even at this moment, his name was only included among the countless people who were crumbling on the battlefield.
Rumia kept repeating that fact, holding onto her shattering heart. Perhaps she has regained the rest she so longed for.
The man she loved never died in shame.
We became friends together while stopping the great mage who said he could oppose an army alone. It was truly a heroic end.
The consumption, which suffered from impatience until the very end, accurately put a dagger into the vital part of the empire.

“… ….”
Rumia wiped away the tears running down her cheeks.
“Okay. I won’t give up. Because I am your eternal aide-de-camp whom you trust and rely on.”
An adjutant is a person who assists to the end and completes the entrusted task even if my body is about to crumble.
As her mission entrusted to her by Enoch Levandel was the culmination of all of this, she should not fall into her sorrow and frustration here.
Even if you collapse, let’s collapse after fulfilling our duty.
After everything has been sorted out, I will place a white chrysanthemum on your grave so that you can remember all the memories you had with him.
The moment Lumia Bluet got up from her seat again and tried to get out of the tent.
“Brigadier Rumia…… ?”
Her adjutant came inside. Rumia stepped back from her in surprise, and she quickly rubbed her eyes, wondering if she could see the traces of her tears.
“Aww, dust in my eyes… ….”
“Is that so? Maybe it’s because a few trucks passed by just a moment ago.”
“I guess so. But what is it?”
“A guest has arrived.”
A guest?
Rumia tilted her head. Who could have a guest in the middle of a battlefield?
“Rumia.”
However, the moment she heard her familiar voice, she couldn’t help but be surprised.
“Colonel Claude!”
Scars running across the face. There was a man still looking at her with charismatic eyes.
Claude Lane.
She was the commander of the 5th Special Task Force of the Uk ranian Special Operations Command, and it was a precious relationship from the 3rd Magic Battalion of the Northern Corps when she was still her noncommissioned officer.
Since the full-scale war broke out, we haven’t seen each other seldom.
Rumia couldn’t hide her genuinely happy expression.
“So far…… No, she couldn’t have gotten along. Either because of the war or because of it.”
Claude Lane added in her bitter voice, and Rumia silently nodded her head and immediately changed the subject of her conversation.
“By the way, what did you come for? I understand that the special agents have all returned to the rear for her reorganization.”
“It was. Right now I was stuck in the hospital until yesterday.”
Claude Lane answered, raising his prosthetic hand. Looking at the shiny surface with no sense of use, it seemed that the prosthetic arm had been replaced again after it had been severely damaged during the battle.
He also abused his body as much as Enoch Levandel, he was not a person who sought absolute safety.
“No way.”
“Wow, don’t look at me like that. Wouldn’t it be a pretty profitable business if you had one prosthetic arm and two tanks?”
“Please, take good care of yourself now?”
“The world’s Rumia says all that. Don’t worry, thank you.”
It was a light joke. Rumia Bluet somehow made her feel as if she had returned to the past.
“Anyway, the reason I came is not something else.”
“Yes?”
“Stalina.”
Claude Lane’s eyes flashed.
“Enoch did not die. At least i think so People don’t die as easily as you think. And he’s even more of a guy who can’t die like that man.”
There is a firm conviction in his expression as he answers firmly. Seeing that, Rumia began to stir up emotions that she had been trying to suppress.
“Leave the offensive to the capital to another unit, and go to Stalina together. To break through that magic storm, Rumia, I need your strength.
“Are you serious?”
“Yes.”
Claude Lane gave his hand to Rumia who asked back and added.
“Enoch is alive. Certainly.”
