Kingdom of Ali-Wamba's capital city square under the Republic of Larionov's occupation
A crowd had gathered in the royal capital square of the Kingdom of Ali-Wamba, now under the rule of the Republic of Larionov. Most of them consisted of Ali-Wamban soldiers who had been imprisoned, along with soldiers from the Hardique Empire. Among the Hardiquese soldiers, there was one who was particularly vocal.
"ALRIGHT!! IS EVERYONE GATHERED!? ...NOW, WE WILL BEGIN THE SELECTION!!"
"E-excuse me... General Taurus."
"WHAT!? IF YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY, SPEAK LOUDER!!"
"Y-yes, sir!! I thought it would be more convenient if we used this!!"
A soldier tried to hand over a voice-enhancing magic stone.
"W-with this, you should be able to speak without straining your throat as much."
However, General Taurus, upon receiving the voice-enhancing magic stone, immediately smashed it into the ground with all his might.
"HAH!"
Crash!!
"Eeeeeeh!?"
"WHAT IS THIS!? YOU CAN SPEAK JUST FINE WITHOUT THIS! BESIDES, I DON'T NEED TO RELY ON SUCH THINGS!! I'VE GOT THIS PROUD VOICE THAT MY PARENTS GAVE ME!!"
"Y-yes, sir! I'm sorry!!"
"GOOD, THEN! NOW... STEP BACK!!"
"Sir!"
His name was Taurus Dyes, the Grand General of the Hardique Empire. He was well known as a fierce warrior, famous for his high pride as a soldier. He was often called Ironblood, due to his belief that the glory of a nation's development lay in its weapons and soldiers.
"LET'S REFOCUS... NOW, WE WILL BEGIN THE SELECTION!! SOLDIERS BELOW THE RANK OF SENIOR OFFICER IN THE ALI-WAMBAN MILITARY, HEAD TO THE RIGHT WAGON!! THOSE ABOVE, TO THE LEFT!!"
The shackled Ali-Wamban soldiers moved toward the large wagons as instructed. Then—
"Wait!!"
"!?"
Among the soldiers being taken away, one soldier shouted loudly. Though he, like the others, was shackled, his well-built physique and his gaze showed that he was not yet defeated. The soldier broke away from the line and steadily moved toward General Taurus. The guards from the Hardique Empire standing next to Taurus raised their guns to prevent him from approaching.
"Stop!! What are you doing!? Who are you!?"
"Return to the line, now!!"
However, the soldier continued to advance, undeterred. Finally, the guards, losing their patience, fired a shot at his feet.
BANG!!
"E-enough already!"
The soldier finally stopped moving, but there was no fear in his expression. Instead, he flashed a grin so wide that his gums were visible, directed at General Taurus.
"I am Elgin Ledridge!! The commander of the Kingdom of Ali-Wamba's Fighting Dragon Knights!!"
"I see... In that case, go to the left wagon! Hurry up—"
