Early in the morning, the march began with Jasha leading the way.
As a battle was raging along the territory border, Enoch avoided the fighting and went around to the Nobilis' territory.
Hubert, who was waging war against the Allied Forces as a temporary commander, was there to greet them.
“Welcome, my lord.”
Today, too, the combined forces of Aratus, Nobilis, Marquis Crescentia, and Baron Elibeth were in a standoff.
Hubert was very happy to see Enoch finally return.
“The Allied Forces come to fight several times a day.”
The Allied forces had not yet launched a full-scale attack as they were waiting for Baron Moyes's army to join them.
“It seems they’ve decided to use a retreating strategy while reinforcements arrive. Everyone is extremely tired from having to defend themselves against incursions from different places every time.”
“Was there a battle today?”
“There were two raids, one at dawn and one in the morning.”
Hubert proudly showed off his unpolished armor and confessed how much he had struggled.
Agatha looked at Hubert, who had a bright face but looked tired, and realized that this territory battle was continuing fiercely.
“Still, I am glad that Her Grace is safe. Did your trip to the capital go well, my lord?”
“To some extent. Thank you for your hard work.”
Agatha greeted Hubert, who responded with a smile to Enoch's greeting.
“Sir Hubert, you have worked very hard. When this war is over, I will reward you especially.”
Hubert smiled at the mention of a special reward.
“I wouldn’t mind if you gave it to me. I think I did pretty well.”
After waiting for the Knights' reunion to end, Jasha approached Agatha and Enoch.
“Today is the first time that the Marquis has stood before the people of Nobilis.”
It was their first visit after their wedding. It was a very special day for both Agatha and Enoch.
“How about setting up a time to say a few words?”
The idea was to show them Marquis Aratus, who was Agatha Nobilis' husband, to reorganize the ranks and raise morale.
Agatha thought it was a pretty good idea.
“Let’s make room.”
Enoch made a similar decision. After receiving permission, Jasha gathered the centurions together and inspected the soldiers.
The Knights of Aratus also lined up next to the soldiers of the Nobilis Territory.
Agatha followed Enoch up to the platform that Jasha had prepared.
The owner of Nobilis appeared before many soldiers.
It had been a long time since such a review had been held, as the position of the lord had been vacant since the death of the previous Duke.
They looked at Agatha and her new husband, Enoch, with curious eyes.
Agatha spoke first.
“This is Agatha Nobilis. Some of you may have seen my face seven years ago, and some of you may be seeing me for the first time today.”
Almost half of the soldiers were nodding their heads.
“Today, I would like to introduce you to my husband who is currently fighting the Territory War in my stead. He is the commander-in-chief of the Knights of Aratus and you, Marquis Enoch Aratus.”
The soldiers' gaze naturally turned to the man next to Agatha.
It was already spreading that part of the army he led had defeated the army of Baron Moyes who was advancing this way.
What was in the soldiers' eyes was their trust in their capable commander.
Enoch looked around at them and opened his mouth.
“I know it must have been difficult for you to be dragged into a sudden war.”
This war was an unexpected accident for Agatha and Enoch in the capital, but it must have been a great disaster for the people who had settled here.
“I know that the five territories near Nobilis would have been more unstable if they had banded together.”
There were quite a few territory residents who were anxious at the news that there were not one but five enemies.
When Enoch understood their feelings, many people's hearts began to open.
“However, you do not have to worry. As the representative and husband of your master, Agatha Nobilis, I will drive out all enemies who invade this land.”
Enoch's confident words brought hope to the eyes of the soldiers who were tired from frequent battles.
“The final battle will soon take place. The enemy has no reinforcements.”
Enoch reported the victory he had won on his way. Then the morale that had been rising slowly exploded.
Jasha, who was below, raised both his hands and shouted.
“Long live Nobilis! Long live Aratus!”
The soldiers who had rushed to the dock shouted at the same time. The loud sound was filled with hope that they would all win and return home.
'My husband is a good speaker.'
Agatha had no doubts about the victory of Aratus and Nobilis.
Now, if they could just win this battle, it would be over.
Even after the two people came down from the platform, the empty lot was still filled with the excitement of young men.
Enoch said to Jasha, who was smiling brightly.
“Make sure you eat well and get enough sleep today.”
“Is it tomorrow?”
"Yes."
Now it is time to end this land war.
“If we just get rid of the Allied forces in front of here, they’ll surrender.”
This was the time when the morale of the army was at its highest.
“I will go out tomorrow morning.”
Once the schedule was set, everyone started moving busily.
Jasha opened the food warehouse and supplied the army with enough food to eat abundantly.
The Allied forces no longer made petty quarrels, perhaps because they had heard of Enoch's joining and the surrender of Baron Moyes' army too late.
In the calm before the storm, everyone, from the knights to the lowest soldiers, ate a hearty dinner.
The next morning, Enoch woke up early, prepared the knights, and returned to find Agatha.
“Agatha.”
Agatha was in the process of clearing up the damage caused by the war, checking on the condition of the wounded, and providing supplies.
'It's the beginning.'
Enoch, clad in full body armor, exuded an intense aura that made it seem like he couldn't be defeated by anyone.
Agatha smiled slightly and kissed his cheek.
“I will wait for news of victory.”
“Please try not to come out of the castle.”
“Don’t worry. Why would I need to go outside the castle?”
“You must not even climb up the castle walls. Please greet us at the castle gate.”
He seemed worried that Agatha might climb up the walls like in the capital.
Agatha let out a small laugh.
“Come without getting hurt.”
“I will try my best.”
She didn't think Enoch would lose. Still, Agatha was a little more worried.
“Have a safe trip.”
“I will do that.”
Enoch's voice, which had become much lower, rang in her ears. Agatha and Enoch looked at each other for a while and then left the barracks.
The knights who had already prepared to advance were standing in the front line. The soldiers who followed them also prepared according to the morale raised yesterday.
A large-scale movement began as Agatha and the few remaining ones watched.
Now it was time to wait.
“Madam, please go into the castle.”
Enoch had said the same thing. Agatha recalled that fact and lifted her unsteady feet and entered the castle.
Although she entered the comfortable Nobilis estate, her heart was not at ease.
Is it because she saw the battle scene directly?
Agatha began to wait anxiously for news from the battlefield that might come at any time.
The sun had set, the stars had risen, and the moon was peeking out when a messenger on horseback brought news of victory.
“I report. Our forces have been victorious. The knight commander of the Marquis of Cresente’s army has been killed, but Baron Elibeth has been taken prisoner.”
The Marquis of Cresente did not go to war himself but sent his knight commander as a proxy. This meant that all the leaders of the Allied forces were either killed or captured.
Agatha asked the messenger in a trembling voice.
“What happened to Enoch?”
The report continued with everyone in the barracks listening.
The final battle that would practically decide the outcome of the Territory War was concluded the moment Enoch killed Lior, the knight commander of the Marquis of Cresente.
“Knight, Lior is dead!”
“Marquis Aratus has defeated the Knight Commander of the Marquis Crescentre!”
The knight following Enoch immediately shouted. Commander, with the death of Lior, the Marquis of Cresente's army lost its center of gravity.
The remaining knights tried to console the soldiers somehow, but they did not have enough control to overcome the death of their commander.
Enoch, the knights, and the Nobilis army were pushed back and eventually defeated.
“The enemy is fleeing!”
Enoch did not pursue the fleeing Marquis of Cresente.
They still haven't captured Baron Elibeth.
This battle will only end once they defeat Elibeth, whether they kill him or capture him.
“Hubert! Take charge of the remaining Cresente Army! I will capture Baron Elibeth!”
“Understood, my lord!”
Enoch left the right battlefield to Hubert and rode to the left, where Baron Elibeth was.
Baron Elibeth, who had been fighting in the left battlefield, saw Enoch approaching and adjusted his grip on his sword. It seemed that he had decided to fight to the end.
Two knights on horseback clashed with their swords drawn. The clash was so violent that sparks flew.
Enoch slashed his sword horizontally to the lower left.
Baron Elibeth held out against Enoch for five rounds. He was much better than the knight commander of the Marquis of Crescente, Lior, who had been killed with a single blow.
As a battle was raging along the territory border, Enoch avoided the fighting and went around to the Nobilis' territory.
Hubert, who was waging war against the Allied Forces as a temporary commander, was there to greet them.
