Who knows...

Looking at Stephanie and Eugene, one can't help but recall Keiji and Tsukiko.

And here's the weapon against Ardas.

a traitor to the motherland, and he stole my ability too...

Arets and Ment in Shabet

Lester, by the way, also has a personal reason to repeat the carving of the Knights of the neighboring region.

Climbing the hill, Ambrose finds another of his colleagues - Symron Refyal.

- Ah, the Hegemony. Many of our brothers are here today, no doubt each one has been moved to spiritual thoughts by the events of recent days. I never would have thought I'd have to raise a sword against our Estellian neighbors, but fate sees fit - it must be done. But you know, even that is not as strange as my nephew. Can you imagine, he's almost thirty now, and he still hasn't been with a woman. I tell him - stop lying on the couch reading novels, go meet someone! But he just keeps spouting nonsense about his narrow jaw, about how being 28 tin tall is practically a death sentence, about how he has no money and such. I tell him - then let me give you money, but he just keeps coming up with new excuses, and says - easy for you to talk with your 30 tin and six-pack abs. I can't even imagine what that brat would say if he saw Lord Lester or Lord Owen. Something's afflicting today's youth, that's for sure. But maybe now he'll come to his senses a bit and remember what love and duty are.

During this very interesting monologue, Ambrose learns that to return the Knight of Luck and Success to the ranks, it is enough to spend an action during your faction's turn - without any other conditions.

Tell his nephew to take a walk through the alleys of Kanamia at night.

And how long does it last? Until the start of the next turn?

After what happened, Stefania merely pulled a handkerchief from her pocket with embroidery in the form of the Valentine family crest, made long ago by her younger sister, and wiped the blood from her face and hair as best she could. Having finished the procedure, she dryly suggested the others gather the useful belongings left behind by those who had just fallen victim to Ikazkan magic and continue on their way.

In the meantime, when time allowed, she wrote a short and dry report on the so-called "battle":

Ikazkan Expedition. Reconnaissance Mission. Day ???

Participants: Stefania Valentine, Knight of the Wind, Eugene Grimm, Knight of the Rusting Soul, Botora, Odlid, Rgoktex, Oem, Makarena, Manka, Izeya, Shevretta, Shani, Murdera

During the reconnaissance mission, our group entered an anomalous zone littered with all sorts of skeletons, including human ones. While exploring the area, we managed to determine that the only way out was to thin out part of the group. No volunteers willing to remain in the dead zone of their own accord remained, so Eugene and I, as the group's leaders and most effective fighters, took it upon ourselves to decide whom to take along. The choice fell on Odlid, Rgoktes, Makarena, and Manka, since the skills and abilities of these warriors could bring the greatest benefit to the Gildaria expedition.

It remained to decide the fate of Botora, Oem, Izeya, Shevretta, Shani, and Murdera. Since they did not express a desire to stay voluntarily, the Knight of the Rusting Soul considered them an obstacle in our path and stated that those who were not ready to stay on their own would have to be struck down.

Before anyone could react, Eugene initiated the battle and activated the Ikazkan magic he had gained by acquiring a magical eye from a local creature. In less than a second, Botora, Oem, Izeya, Shevretta, Shani, and Murdera exploded like overripe watermelons. An instant victory over those who should never have become our enemies.

Note 1: Eugene's newly acquired talent can be considered extraordinarily powerful and useful for Gildaria. The main thing is not to seek conflict with him and not to become his enemies.

Remaining participants of the reconnaissance mission: Stefania Valentine, Eugene Grimm, Odlid, Rgoktex, Makarena, Manka

It works for one specific battle, it's just that if you use it on someone else's turn, there will be no action at the start of your turn.

And that is how history is written.

Ah, so it's reactive defense, not a declared action. And if Astaroth refreshes it, will Renavan have two charges?

Gildaria's turn:

Roderick wastes time goes to meet the mysterious merchant. Creates the Iron squad

Aldelion searches for and finds his cousin

Rainris mines Tempesta

All cities set up templates (I'll update the post later and add links to the templates)

Squads:

Iron squad is stationed in Nevicate

Roderick Valentine

Golden Section squad in Pitalact

Rainris Xezbeth

Aldelion's squad in Grimme

Aldelion Grimm

Mining squad in Skaurr

Heraldica Grimm

Is everything correct?
