Chapter 101.2 – Character Introduction (End of Book 1)

Commander of the Flying Dragon Knights, Rothbacher von Leifenzbel, 32 years old

The flying dragon knights, the secret weapon of Germania Empire, have earned the name as the most powerful in the world.

He is a general who is well aware that the flying dragon knights are the source of power of Germania Empire.

He is decisive when he fights but above all, he is calm when he makes his move. Thinking that the war potential of the Germania Empire must not be wasted.

If the flying dragon knights move, that means the Germania Empire will win.

If the flying dragon knights were defeated, the empire is doomed.

And Rothbacher was right.

Alan Mortar, 24 years old, captain of the 2nd battalion of the volunteer army

A young man from Mortar Village. He is the son of the village chief.

He had always had a talent for inciting and motivating people and he called on the Mortar Village and the neighboring villages to join him in leading a volunteer corps of 300 people, including young men from poor farmer families.

Because of his achievements, he became the captain of the 2nd battalion. With his reasonably good looks and eloquence, he is also active as the head of the volunteer army public relations department.

He is good at getting along with superiors and is gentle with subordinates. Alan’s best achievement was during the joint operation with the royal army.

He is the number one in “the person you would like to have as their captain” in the volunteer army.

However, he has a bad habit of talking about things that are not necessary. He is also known to be very loose-tongued and it is said that he should not be consulted on important matters.

Gil heron, Chief Officer of the Soldiers of the Royal Capital, 50 years old.

A serious old man. For many years, he has been in charge of the defense of the City of Silesie, overseeing 300 soldiers as the chief officer.

His motto in life is to not stand out, not defy, and not to be involved.

He has skillfully survived the period when the city was ravaged by the “miasma hole of doom” and the purge after Gale’s coup and has fulfilled his duty as the chief officer of the capital.

Barbarossa von Berlant, Imperial Knight Order Commander, Germania’s Fiercest General, 35 years old

A fierce general with red beard. He stands 2 meters tall and rides a red horse. His weapon is a big execution ax that strikes fear into the hearts of enemy soldiers.

He is said to have led the knight order nine times and beheaded a hundred enemy generals in the process earning him the title Germania’s Fiercest General.

He wields a huge execution ax three meters in length which can slaughter five or six soldiers at once.

When the enemy soldiers hear his ferocious screams, they tremble and lose their will to fight.

He is worthy of being called “Fierce General”.

He doesn’t place tricks and if there’s a trap, he’ll just double his strength to break through it. He is the fiercest general in Germania, no more, no less.

He is strong enough to go toe to toe with Louise, in other words, Barbarossa is also a monster beyond a monster.

Da Jeshka, General of Trakia, Blind Hero, 57 years old

An old general who wears black eye patches that hides both eyes. He wears a light and sturdy suit of bone armor. It is said that the general is wearing a valuable piece of armor made of dragon bones.

In the harsh environment of Trakia, there is a strong tendency of putting practicality first in order to survive.

He is the inventor of a new war tactic called chariot tactics in which chariots are used as shields and crossbows are used to defeat the enemy.

He is also a national hero who defended Trakia until he lost his sight in a great battle. Even now that he is blind, he still walks around the battlefield with a cane and is the most famous general in Trakia.

Sandor Nefskie, Gartland General, Yellow General, 48 years old.

Dark hair, dark eyes, dark skin. He is of medium height and medium build and his appearance won’t stand out in comparison with other knights but even if he is a quiet guy, he is a powerful general. He has a mysterious eye power that intimidates others just by being in his sight. He is called “Yellow General Sandor” perhaps because he wears yellow clothes.

He is a wise general who rides a black horse and is good at shooting a large bow while riding. He has a lot of experience in actual battle as a general and it is enough to make him fat.

Like the general, the knights of Gartland are equipped with full plate armor which is almost the same as the knights of Germania Empire.

However, they are wrapped in yellow cloth in order to identify them from the empire knights. Hence, they were called yellow knights.

Also, even though General Sandor was defeated and subjugated by the empire, he was bold in offense and firm in defense, and his changeable tactics caused the imperial army a great deal of trouble.

He is also a scheming patriot who secretly hides the knights of the Kingdom of Gartland who are not affiliated with the Empire and actively engages in secret diplomacy, aiming for the timing of independence of the Kingdom of Gartland.

Marina Horse, Silesie Kingdom’s Royal Knight Order Commander, 23 years old

“Rolling Stone” Marina. Marina, who was given the nickname “rolling stone'', is a female knight who was once the vice commander of the knight order led by Louise.

She has chestnut-colored hair and eyes. She is petite and so taciturn that she is called a stone and a person not suited to be the commander of the royal knight order. The only thing she’s good at is controlling cavalry and running around as she wants.

Her family name, “Horse”, is not a mere name. She’s not very good at controlling people but there’s no one better than her in terms of controlling horses.

In a short period of time, she reduced the number of royal knights, which is now only 500 knights, to light cavalrymen who can do as they are commanded. She also chipped away their knightly conceit.

Unusual for knights who prefer heavy armor, she is usually lightly armed and fights with light bows, spear, and notched shield. (The notched shield is to be able to see while protecting herself from flying arrows.) After she has used up all of her weapons, she’ll use a stabbing sword but since she believes in one hit kill combat, she usually escapes before she draws it.
