At the same time the Sages were annilihated, the region of Kansai was already occupied by the Philippine Army.
And currently, Ramirez is directly speaking to one of the enemies' general. Held in chain, it can do nothing but cough blood after being tortured for countless night.
"Truly, a deserving situation, isn't it, General Pisces of Yggdrasil Army?" The general doesn't have enough strength to even raise her head. Thus, Ramirez decided to pull her hair.
"Hello there, I'm the chief commandant of this army, care to tell us your experience before being captured?" The begging eyes of her wasn't able to affect the already cold gaze of Ramirez.
"Y-you monster..."
"Enslaving human, slaughtering innocent, destroying homes. Tell me, who's truly a monster?"
"Hii!" Due to his cold glare, the general instinctively let out a small scream. Everyone knows that this person currently begging to be forgiven was playing with enslaved men.
And just thinking about it, Ramirez's rage was left out of control and struct the head of the general with a bat.
"S-save me... Princess... P-please..."
"You keep muttering that name, want me to show her to you? Of course, in mess."
"Y-you unforgiving creature, you all will rot in hell by the name of Goddess Aura!"
And just like that, Ramirez hit her in the head once more.
"What a bore."
He can't help but feel a little irritated as he gaze down the unconscious prisoner.
He knows that this person will die not long just like the rest of the prisoner. And yet, they have not gain any good information from their homeland.
"Clean her." He said to a guard and left.
-----
"Move them to the tunnel and burn them, don't even left a single bit of them alive!" these are the orders of the Chief Commandant of the Philippine Army. To annilihate all enemy force within the land of Japan.
They know what they're doing are wrong, but this is also to satisfy and raise their low morale.
After the recovery of the three region. They were able to learn that most of the captured civilian were enslaved and brought to the other side.
At first they were sceptical because such thing isn't allowed even in times of war. However, when they soon find the evidences themselves, the army were left in rage and seek revenge.
"Prepare soldiers, soon, we will march to Chubu after behind the armor division. Just like usual, surround the enemy and annilihate, don't even let a single one of them surrender and escape! Let's show them what history have taught us!" Ramirez's announcement echoed throughout the camp to raise the already high morale of his soldier.
-----
"Another region was captured. If this go on, we will unable to give order to our soldier at the other land. We should do it now and make a large fortress here to protect our land." one of the general said as royal princess glare at the already sunken general Julius.
"If we act now, we will be able to buy some time for the royal princess to return."
"No."
Declining such suggestion, Irellet stand from her seat and announce her decision.
"We will surrender to our enemy and negotiate."
"But princess!"
"Do you know why the King send me here? To die, of course. He already know our fate here and surely trying to close the portal. It will not take that much time until we are surrounded by enemy."
"T-then, you should already go!"
"And leave you all behind? Like a coward soldier I am then. As I said, I will negotiate and cooperate to them, no matter what happen, obey."
Absurd, still it is the only option they can think of.
-----
Four days later, a knock was made at the current temporary shelter for the president.
"Mister President, a deligate."
"From where?"
"Yggdrasil."
"What?" dumbfounded, an unexpected turn of event just transpired and Ramirez can't even believe it.
"They seek audience and want to negotiate for peace."
"Peace?! Surely, they're out of their mind, right?"
Gonzales merely look at his friend with worried expression and soon gesture him to follow.
"Damn fuckers." is the only word he can release from his mouth.
-----
Irellet is nervous, anxious, and possibly scared due to the fact that she's currently at the center of the enemy.
Not only that, but the glare of the soldiers simply overwhelmed her.
'They know' is what she thought after noticing these murderous glares.
As she sat at one of the seat that was given to her by the attendant, she look at the eyes of her retainers.
'They feel the same. They all fear the situation they are in.' she thought, especially after looking at Julius who ordered the mass execution two weeks ago.
Soon, the room's silence was broken when the door opened revealing a two figure.
"This is them, Mister President." said by the person right beside him.
Looking at him, Irellet can't deny that he have a nice feature. With black hair and brown clear eyes, just what their kind admires. However, those beautiful eyes of his glare at the sight of them.
"You must be the chief commander of this army. Greetings, My name is Irellet Yggdrasil, Commander of the Royal Army and a Royal Princess." Irellet tries to emphasize her title as a royalty, but seeing the expression of the man, she knows it didn't work.
"Greetings, I'm Jonathan Ramirez, president of the newly reformed Philippines."
Soon they were offer to sit and the conversation soon starts.
