[Yoshinobu Yamakawa · Rating 4 out of 5]

The second installment of the fantasy war chronicle. In this story, young imperial knight Iqta and his friends face tough challenges on a new stage, the Northern Territory Garrison. Their destination is a military stronghold protected by the Great Arafatra Mountains, which have never been invaded by foreign enemies in the history of the Katovana Empire. What awaits them, however, is not just training, but the harsh reality of the battlefield.

The core themes of this story are growth and the clash between reality and ideal. Through their experiences on the battlefield, Ikta and his friends confront the gap between their ideals and reality, and grow in the process. The internal struggles and challenges of each of them are described, adding depth to the story.

Notable highlights are the psychological descriptions of the characters and the strategic battle scenes. The battle scenes depicted from Ikta's creative perspective draw you deeper into the story. The encounters with diverse enemies such as the Sinaq and the robbers were also very thrilling.

Overall, Uno's writing is vivid enough to make you a part of this fantasy world, and the plot is unpredictably clever. Ikuta's journey has only just begun. We'll keep watching to see how his growth and the fate of his empire unfolds.
