"Knight-Captain Lyra, you will serve as the overall commander for the White Maple Town sector during this defense operation. You'll be in charge of coordinating all troops and controlling the primary defensive magic circles."
Two days later, Lyra stood before Duke Charles's aide, having followed the veteran to White Maple Town, and received a position far more critical than her previous role at Liya Tower Fortress.
Knight-Captain of White Maple Town's garrison, regional defense commander, and the actual operator of the defensive magic circles.
This position meant Lyra would hold the authority to command all military forces in White Maple Town and carry the precious lives of every defending soldier on her shoulders.
"Understood." Feeling the chill wind brush against her cheeks, a cool sensation threading through her hair, Lyra softly replied, as if she had returned once more to Liya Tower Fortress.
