I Was Mistaken as a Great War Commander

The United Nations Permanent Member State: Adria
Royal Palace: Audience Chamber

"Your Majesty! Thanks to the success of the recent talks, the Republic has decided to speed up preparations for joining the war! They plan to make a decision before summer, so we can expect good news soon," the Minister of Foreign Affairs reported as he bowed deeply before the king seated on the throne.

However, the target of the Minister’s attention was, °• N 𝑜 v 𝑒 l i g h t •° ironically, not the king.

The Foreign Minister was more concerned with the gaze of Count Kaledra, the Chancellor, who was standing next to the king, leaning on his cane.

Swallowing nervously, the Foreign Minister continued.

"However, the Federation is showing skepticism regarding participation. The President of the Federation said that while he would gladly accept the union if the three nations could harmonize, he wanted to know who would bear the responsibility if it led to a global crisis."

Upon hearing the Foreign Minister’s report, Kaledra tightened his grip on the cane’s handle.

He understood exactly what the President of the Federation meant by those words.

He’s mocking the idea that the Allied Nations can defeat the Empire simply by allying with the Republic.

The Empire had successfully subdued the Eldresia Kingdom with minimal damage, and had even incorporated the neutral state of Bellanos as a de facto ally.

It was truly an unstoppable force.

Reluctantly, Kaledra admitted that there was no denying the Empire’s consecutive victories.

Meanwhile, the Allied Nations had failed to show significant progress.

The President of the Federation was scolding the Allies, implying that if they didn’t produce real results, they would refuse to cooperate.

As the worst-case scenario became a reality, Kaledra ground his teeth in frustration.

Daniel Steiner...

That damned brat was slowly shifting the balance of the world.

He had even heard that recently, Steiner had destroyed the Pallentia Branch located in the heart of the Empire.

He was like a malignant tumor in the Allied Nations.

He must be removed.

"Your Majesty," Kaledra took a deep breath and looked down at the king.
