The Supreme Commander of the Army Kyle suddenly seems to be making different moves that no one could understand

He suddenly takes position at Mount Gryphon and suddenly the information coming out from that place become silent.

Alexander quickly marched to meet the threat that is represented by the sudden movement of the Supreme Commander of Vanheim

Alexander tried to entice Kyle into attacking by taking control of the river crossing and cutting Kyle way back home. 

Alexander believes that by doing so, he is cutting the supplies and might make Kyle to come down the mountain and attack

But for some reason, they did not. There is still blind spot of course so Alexander would not try to burn the mountain. 

Burning a mountain is not something that one would do unless a general is truly desperate.

And Alexander knew if he did such a thing, a smear campaign on his name would gain traction and probably if he wanted to move forward to the Capital, it would become not only a momentous takes but one that would be torturing. 

That is simply because if he did that, not only the warlords in the plains would be reluctant to turn to him, they even might fall in completely to the Empire. 

Since the mountain is not the only mountain in the Empire they probably would not care. But that is not the same for the people of the Plains and if the people of Plains is not satisfied with the matter and instead fall in with the Empire then the warlords would also have a problem with that.

There is also the fact that Alexander did not know the composition of soldiers in the mountain. 

He had arrived to late when Kyle had suddenly taken that mountain. 

Only after arriving here and seeing the advantages of the mountain he knows that the mountain seems to have strategical advantage.

On top of the mountain sitting on a rattan chair looking at the map is Aero. 

He looks at it as around him were great generals of the Empire. They all look very humble right now so different from their usual domineering behavior.

Because right now in the tent, is one of the hero and one of the founding members of the Empire.

How could they dare shows their arrogance in front of this person?

The Chancellor Aero Carlingian is in that tent and the generals and the military personnel all wanted to leave a good impression on the person that is called the shadow ruler of the Empire.

 Aero was not surprised that somehow suddenly everyone suddenly addressed him as Aero Carlingian. 

The power of the Western Heaven is the one that changes the memories of these native people of this world.

It is the name that he had picked but hearing it still make him feel weird. 

Aero did not linger on that thought for long

Right now, the sudden appearance of Aero and the news about his return to the Empire side is a secret. 

The news is of course already relayed to the Capital but it would take time. 

They did not have time to create a teleportation formation and even if they do, they would not attempt to do so.

The reason is simply because teleportation formation is not easy to cast and the moment they cast it, that would be like telling the enemy that they have a very important news to send to the Capital. 

That would make Alexander suspicious and instead would make him even more curious and if the plan is revealed earlier then the surprise impact to the enemy army would not happening as planned.

Especially when such news could always be intercepted by a powerful Archmage. 

They don't even need an Archmage since any mages that have some specialties like the ability to intercept magical messages might be present in Alexander side.

After all, there is also a lot of Western Heaven people in Alexander side. 

Of course not all Western Heaven people that are living in Veranis join the expedition of King Alexander. 

Now, they only have one life. If they died, then that's it.

It is not like before when they could go crazy and flamboyant with risking their life. 

Aero also had seemed to reconcile with the idea that the Western Heaven gods did not only changes the memories of the native, they also change their memories.

The reason is because he had found out that the native for this world spoke about reviving. When he heard that he investigated the matter. 

It turns out that the Western Heave people seems to be able to revive themselves from the dead before.

But for some reason, in the earlier months of their arrival to this world, they forgot that they could revive. 

But after a year and a half, they are now convinced that this time, when you die, you really die.

However, the problem remains. Why erase that part of the memory? Aero believes there is a deeper mystery but with all the scheming and planning he had done in the background, he had no time to research these matters.

If everything goes well and he could return back to the Imperial Court, then he could then pursue these matter later.

As for the matter of using teleportation in sending messages, it seems the easiest way to send message because the message could be sent instantaneously

Magic has it uses. Archmage for example is a very powerful changing factor in a war. 

But if Archmage were common like leeks in the marketplace then why would kingdom ever invested in armies and soldiers?

It is because Archmage is rare and there is ways of constraining Archmage that make Kingdoms did not fear Archmage as much as they should.

Aero knows that any powerful fluctuation of magical energy that is released would inform the enemy forces who also have a magician into a state of alert.

Whether there is an Archmage among Veranis army or not, the news that Aero is now in the midst of Vanheim camp, directing the war is a news so important that the slight possibility that there is an Archmage in the enemy camp deters the high military officials from sending teleportation message to the Emperor

Aero wanted them to be relaxed and not on guard. So, the letter that was relayed to the Imperial Court is send the old fashioned way by using familiars

Aero scans the people in the tent that is allowed to participate in this secret discussion

There are a few new faces in the tent. One of them is General Rhodes. And after talking to them about the war, general Rhodes is the first to ask him a question

'Honorable Chancellor, King Alexander had taken control of the river and they created a barricade. They are cutting our way back. We need orders. Do we need to break it?'

Aero only smiles as he fans his face with his phoenix feather fan. 

No one said anything about the nonchalant attitude of the Chancellor. Those who have long deal with the Chancellor knew that the Chancellor is not someone would rush and appear very calm.

Some said even if the heaven is falling, the Chancellor face would probably still be calm while fanning his face with that feather fan. 

They could be considered the most senior in court life since Aero was there since the first formation of the King Courts and the political upheaval that happened after the death of King George.

But even they did not spoke much of their opinion in front of Aero.

Aero glances at the map and then said

'Stay. Just stay. Let us see what would that young king would do'

'Chancellor! It is not wise to underestimate the young King'

Aero stop fanning his fan and look lazily at general Rhodes

'Yes?'

'But…' he stuttered for a bit and then he said

'This general hope Chancellor could explain to me the meaning for this. If we let them do that…'

Aero sighed and everyone in the tent look down except Kyle and Viola.

'Just do it. Wait, stay and watch. Then you will understand. Inform me when Alexander make his move'

Rhodes could only nods and then Aero gesture with his fan for them to leave.

They all exited the tent except Viola and Kyle. Kyle calmly sat and then calmly said

'What are you doing?' Kyle sat calmly and said calmly, but his eyes is not calm at all. Aero wanted to laugh seeing this old enemy felt frustrated like this.

'I am waiting'

'Waiting for what?' Smiling Aero did not explain. The night ended. Alexander did not attack but in the morning, Alexander make his moves 

The report immediately arrives in that secluded tent

Aero smiles

'See. What did I say? Wait, stay and watch' Alexander had marched to meet Kyle army, and he had tried to entice Kyle to attack by controlling the river and cutting of the path back home

But in the morning Alexander decided to move his army into Aethereld castle leaving an open path 

Everyone could see that if they took that path they could retreat. Aero smiles as the things that he had waited finally appears

 The Quest notification appears again as Aero smiles widely

'It is true that a strategist like him could only get quest in such setting like in a war' he thought to himself.
