Chapter 258: Five Assumptions

Early in the morning of August 13th, I am moving through the land of Kuordenze, dyed in the dawn light. Following me is the army I brought with me from the city of Newnery. Me as a huge noise.

The number of soldiers is about 3,000.

That is not a large number. Compared to the size of the force planned in the original plan for the slow march of the large army, it is not even a third of the original force.

However, the ratio of followers in the composition of the force was so high that it would have been unthinkable under normal circumstances.

“Thoroughly reinforce!”

The order from the senior military officer echoed high in the summer morning sky.

Body enhancement magic must be constantly activated to achieve the desired effect. The follower military officers were divided into several groups with clearly defined areas of responsibility, and they took turns activating the magic.

How's the progress?”

I asked my second-in-command, who was running right next to me.

So far, the troops are in line,” He said. I couldn't find anything wrong, but I wasn't sure if I was making the right decision.

The second-in-command was one of the officers who had briefed me at the New Nellie military base. He came a little closer to me and answered my questions without slowing down his horse.

'Very well, sir.

'…… I see.'

Compared to the ultra high-speed maneuvering by the elite few, all military officers, all cavalry, and all followers, the movement of this unit seems very slow.

Then the second-in-command smiled lightly.

That was the exception of the exception,” He said. I think it is wrong to compare them.

He said, as if remembering with sincerity. This adjutant had also participated in Operation Snake Fang, so he could understand my frustration.

He could sense my frustration because he had participated in Operation Serpent Fang.

It was unexpected for a force of this size to be able to move so quickly, the adjutant said.

Is it so difficult to march in constant reinforcement?

Of course it is. It is not possible to achieve this simply by having all the followers. It requires a certain amount of training to coordinate the physical reinforcement magic. However, I did not expect that to be much of a problem.

Our military officers are very well trained by the prolonged war. They have a lot of experience in the field, and I had great confidence in their teamwork.

So you expected the civilians to be a problem?

Ha. If it were only the engineering soldiers stationed in New Nellie, it wouldn't be too difficult.

The army of engineers is a standing army, and although they are the ancestors of the slaves, their skill level is high.

If it were the local militia that had been called up, the adjutant said, it would not be possible to move them so precisely. It is not as easy as one might think to follow the orders of one's superiors, especially when the tension is heightened by body enhancement magic.

The Nambonan soldiers seem to be well trained. I knew they trained more than they should have, but it helped this time.

His second-in-command assessed as he looked back.

'……, Yes.

I cast my voice diagonally toward the back of the room. There, running alongside me, was Rear Light, whom I had named as my operations advisor this time. I was so impressed with the way he was riding that I had to call out to him, and he was a little quicker on his horse and came closer.

No, it's only natural.

'Don't be modest. I'm not a good person to be modest. Thank God there are still some Nambonans left.

In order to start the operation, we needed soldiers with a certain level of awareness. The number of military officers, construction workers, and also my private army are the only personnel that can be pulled together. Fact, my private army consisted of only 30 men.

It was a blessing in disguise that the highly motivated Nambonan soldiers were staying at the New Nellie military base.

Thanks to you, I guess we've accomplished the first premise.

Then I checked with Rear Admiral Rearight.

The new plan I had proposed had been tentatively approved by the senior military officers after several questions and answers.

In order to carry out the new operation, several preconditions were presented to me. If they were not met, the plan would be abandoned and the original plan would be reverted to.

Well, there are many uncertainties in this new operation. I could accept it without resistance, since it is not my intention to be stubborn, force the project to go ahead, and then destroy myself.

There are a total of five assumptions to be accomplished.

The first of these, “Accurately maneuvering the required number of troops,” Could be considered accomplished for the time being.

The first step was to strike a blow that would puncture Spierzeig,……. I think it's safe to say that the first step has been successful.

But here's the problem.

The first step is to hit the ground with a spearhead.

From here on, we are in uncharted territory.

Ah. You can see ……, Arkunoa.

Arcunoa pollution zone.

In the time of the priests, a major highway called the Amelia Highway was laid out in this area.

It was also a place that was contaminated by the fifth ranked threat, the magical beast Arcunoa, about 100 years ago.

“Whoa, whoa, stop!”

I stopped my horse when I reached a point where my hooves would be damaged if I continued on. The whole troop was now blocked by the halt of the leader of the troop, and the troop spread out a little to the side.

'It's still terrible ground.'

One of the military officers seemed disgusted and shuddered lightly.

My body was shaking a little too. It wasn't uncomfortable with the unholy earth, it was more like a warrior's tremor. I wanted to see the results of my inspiration as soon as possible.

Get ready.

I gave the signal, and a female military officer came from the rear of the unit. She was accompanied by a girl.

“Eve, are you ready? Are you ready?

Yes.”

Eve was wearing a large robe to conceal her true identity as much as possible.It was oversized and strangely cute.It reminds me of the first time we met……. Eve does n't want me to remember. .

Do you see the filth spreading out in front?”

Yes.

Eve's movements are stiff.I felt that this is what would happen if I expressed such movements with my whole body,holding my nose in front of the stinky …… Thing.I think she is so disgusted with the dirt that she can't stand it.

I'm going to go straight through this land from here on out. The role of Eve is to create a path with purification magic. Can you do that?”

“…Yes!

She has been saying nothing but “Yes” For a while now.

We just have to do it like we always do, right?”

I've been testing purification magic every day for the past month, so I'm used to invoking magic on my command her.

'Use this one as usual. I have several replacements ready.'

Saying this, I handed him a jewel that casts rainbow-colored shadows in the morning sun. It was a manaral crystal, which has the property of storing magic power.

Eve received the manaral crystal and closed her eyes as if to check the accumulated magic power.

Mastering magic means capturing the fluctuations of magic power. Naturally, the larger the scale of its activation, the easier it is to recognize the fluctuations. The tribute from the city of Nambonan contained a few manaral crystals, so I made great use of them in the purification magic verification. Unfortunately, no one has succeeded in learning it so far, but the efficiency has improved to a degree that it is better than nothing.

At any rate, purification magic can be activated using my magical power, albeit indirectly.

“Please activate it in the direction you are going. The first thing you need to do is to get a good idea of ​​what you're looking for. Try …… Once.”

Eve held the hand her holding the crystal to her chest and pointed the other hand forward, and activated the purification magic.

A glowing haze of light caressed the ground and flowed forward. It was similar to the way smoke from dry ice crawled across the floor.

Oh……”

The adjutant let out an exclamation. And a murmur followed from among the soldiers.

With a haze of light, the ground lost its poisonous color and turned a familiar earthy hue. No one was puzzled by this mysterious phenomenon. Eve's purification magic was classified, so even among the military officers, those who knew about it were extremely limited.

One of the military officers took the soil in his hand and confirmed that there was no problem.Hearing this, I let Eve ride with me on the horse.

Let's go! All troops, advance!

Without consulting my father, I reveal the existence of purification magic. It was a big decision for me. If I wanted to save my life, I should not have done it.

But I decided not to hesitate anymore.So, I had no choice but to open up and move on.I had no choice but to move forward.I bought the Eve, so the purification magic was my work, too.I'm sure everything will be fine.

The path you open is our path! Keep going! Victory awaits ahead!

The shouts of the soldiers echoed from behind us.

On a two-person horse, their bodies were inevitably in close contact with each other. Eve, perhaps started by the men's loud voices, reacted with a jerk.

Are you okay?”

I was riding in a pose as if I was holding her from behind, so I could hardly see anything but the back of her head her.

I could only see her robe.I felt like I was holding a huge stuffed animal.

I was like I was holding a huge stuffed animal.

I could not see his expression in her, but I could hear the enthusiasm in his voice in her.

You're going to go save that girl, right?

It was about Lupetta.

I explained to Eve that I was only going to save Lupetta because she was about to be attacked by a bad person.Eve knows that I and Lupetta are in love.There's no point in talking about the war or the operation, so we don' t talk about that.

Yes.”

And there was no lie in this.

Spierzeig's army is in the middle of an onslaught on Raishleif Castle. This is not a decisive battle in which the offensive and the offensive clash, but a siege in which the offensive and the defensive are clearly separated. Soldiers in the rear would be relatively safe in this battle, it was quite possible that Lupetta was being sent out as a follower soldier.

The senior military officer said, “Lupetta is my precious woman. I will protect her.

You never know what might happen in a war. If we are not careful, our grandfather may come back to life and overrun the Spierzeig forces. If we are unlucky, Lupetta could be killed in the process. I consider the protection of Lupetta as one of my submissions.

I'll do my best.”

Eve is also very determined to find her mother her.If she accepts my request here, she will be remembered by the civilian officials and they will devote more resources to her……. She must be thinking that way.

I would have liked to have Raveh join the army if I could have, but I gave up on that this time.Considering her past her, she might break down the moment we showed her the army, even if she was an ally.

Therefore, we decided to leave the fate of our daughter Eve in her hands.Regardless of the success or failure of the mission, if she works diligently, I will let her see him again.I am a kind man.

People around me will appreciate Eve's devotion Her.You can count on me.

“……Yes!”

Bring the horse forward.

The first time you activate the magic, it will not be able to purify everything, and after a few steps, the dirt will be spread again. While checking the state of purification, I slowly quickened my horse's pace.

If I proceeded too quickly, the horse would step on the dirt before the purification was complete. I adjust my movements and determine the best speed, being careful not to rush.

When I was able to reach a certain level of speed, I looked back.

The width of the road was about the width of a two-lane road.As if I had been dusted with a rag, only the area where I had passed was beautifully cleansed.It was obvious to everyone that a “Path” Had been created .

How's it going? I still have a long way to go.

'I feel sick, but I'm fine.'

It must be depressing because no matter how much I purify, the filth will continue on and on and on.The discomfort of the dirt seems to be terrible, but it doesn't seem to affect the activation in any particular way.This may be hard for Eve, but this is not a bad result.

The second premise to be accomplished is to “Make a path to the Arknoa Polluted Zone with purification magic. The key point here is Eve's mentality in her and my not depleting her magical power in her.

I was concerned that Eve's performance would decline due to the effects of the dirt, but it appears that she will work as usual.Instead, the problem may lie with me.

As we found out from the verification, purification magic eats up a lot of magic power. The Arcunoa Contamination Zone is quite large, and even if I proceeded in a straight line, there was a possibility that I might go down in the process.

Therefore, I saved my physical reinforcement magic for the soldiers by leaving it to my military officers. If I had strengthened them directly, the unit's march speed would have been faster, but I chose to conserve it for the sake of the Arknoa expedition.

While filling the spare manaral crystals with magic, I shouted out.

Rear light! Mergin! Lead the way!

Ha!

I understand!”

I slowed my horse a little, and two riders leaped in front of me.

The two riders who knew this smuggling route well were Mergin and Rialight, who had just recently broken through here. Surprisingly, Melgin could also ride a horse.

If you go too far ahead, you won't be able to purify your horse in time. Be careful, or your horse will die.

When I warned him, he immediately signaled his understanding of him.These two had been working together for about a month and had become reasonably close.

They consulted with each other for a short while, but soon made a slight correction in the direction of travel to the left. Apparently, the direction I was going was slightly off.

I heard the voice of Melgin's voice, “… How can such …… Filth be purified?”

The voice of Mergin, who was moving ahead of me, reached my ears.

How much further to the Amelia River?

At this speed, we should reach it before noon!

As expected, we could not move as fast as we could in the interior while purifying the land.

However, there is no grass, trees, or forest in the Arknoa polluted area, so the view is good, and in a sense, it is easy to drive. , But we hope that the horse's magically enhanced magic power will help it overcome this obstacle.

The team pushed on through the land colored black and purple.

We made a detour at a point where the pollution was too strong, but I think we were still able to proceed in the shortest possible distance.

Are you sure you can make it to the Amelia River?

Melgin asked me when the Amelia River came into view in the distance.

Rather, the person who asked the question was not me, but the rear light running next to me. It is quite natural to feel more comfortable talking to a military officer who has accompanied you on your homecoming than to a nobleman.

The next one is at . Next is …….”

I repeated my words in response to Rearight's straightforward reply.

The third premise.

For several hours Eve has been invoking purification magic, but so far no problems have occurred.I can feel a little bit of fatigue beginning to show on her expression, but I think she still has room to spare.

If this is the case, it is safe to say that the first half of the “Make a path through the Arcunoa Pollution District with purification magic and step through it” Has been cleared. From this point on, the third premise comes into focus.

“…… Perhaps you're going to freeze the river!”

When Mergin and Lupetta snuck in, they carried a small rowboat and used it to cross the river.

I did not give Melgin any details.Therefore, he was imagining things on his own, expecting things on his own, and getting excited on his own.

It is not possible to freeze a river, as if it were a legend of Mr. Zeth. Orcian might be able to do it, but he is not here now.

The next condition, the third premise, is the “Rapid crossing of the Amelia River.

Whether this will go well, I don't know. It is a matter of other forces, and all I can do right now is pray. I've given instructions, but we'll see what happens…….

…… Young lady, please look upstream.”

Rearight stretched out his right arm wide and said so.I was inwardly chagrined, but quickly looked in the direction his right hand was pointing.

There was still some distance to the Amelia River. Therefore, the small object that appeared upstream looked as small as a sesame seed. However, my heart was excited all at once.

The closer we got to the river, the clearer the shape of the sesame seeds became. The next moment, I could hear the excitement in my voice.

Here it comes!

It was a large number of merchant ships.

Before leaving New Nelly, I sent an order to the city of Nambonan. The content was simple: “Gather the merchant ships and send them downstream as soon as possible. The rendezvous point is the old Amelia Highway.

To get the troops across the river quickly, we needed a large number of ships.

It would be an opportunity to clear my name for those who would be war-weary of my grandfather's displeasure.I also said I would pay the rental fee later.So I didn't think they would refuse to cooperate,but I couldn't shake the concern that it would take time for them to arrive.

But when they arrived at such a good time, my heart was dancing no matter how it happened.

The merchant ships also seemed to have noticed the presence of the military and were searching for a place to anchor.

By the time we arrived, several boats were anchored by the riverside, and a man who looked like a representative was waiting in a formal posture.

“You are from Nambonan, aren't you?”

I spoke to the middle-aged man as I mounted my horse.

He had been told to send a ship, but he had not expected an army to come across the defile. The man was moving his head impatiently, looking at me and at the path created by the purification magic.

He said, “I am …… Yes. I am in charge of water transportation in the city of Nambonan. ……

The head of the water transport association came to see me in person. The city of Nambonan took the message seriously.

While they were listening to the head of the union's greeting, merchant ships arrived one after another.

I decided to cross the Amelia River on the larger boat that the union leader boarded.

The current is relatively calm in this area.

The union leader said this to me while we were crossing the river on the boat. He must have known that the nobility basically could not swim.

The west side of the river is a marshy area, and the water from the big river flows into the marshy area. Ancient times, if you wanted to cross Amelia, you had to pass through here. But after the land was defiled by the poison of a magical beast, it was no longer used as a waterway.

The union leader's eyes are on the shore on the Quardenze side. He must have a lot on his mind when he sees the Quardentse army that has now cleared the dirt and made a path through it.

He does not ask unnecessary questions. But he is watching and listening carefully. It is said that you can't put a door in another person's mouth, but I don't like it when people talk about it.

I told him, “Be careful. This is a top-secret operation. If you speak out of turn, you will lose your life.”

The second-in-command warned him verbally before I did. Well, they will find out sooner or later, but at least we need to keep their mouths shut.

The union leader, perhaps intimidated by these words, remained mostly silent for the remainder of the crossing.

It was nice to have a break, if only for a short while. The boats were loaded with food, so the soldiers were able to have a fleeting lunch.

When we landed on the other side of the river and got our troops in order, I called the union leader.

I'm going to liberate the people of Spierzeig from oppression.

He continues his words with his dignity and nobility.

It is a great thing that you have answered my call so promptly. Now, return to the other side of the river. Do your best to make the operation a success, and it will be a great honor for you and for the city of Nambonan .

The union leaders and sailors did not stop there. They would be asked to help the coming Kuordenze forces cross the river for a long time.

Therefore, we will make sure they know that this cooperation will lead to military success. If we don't show them the bait, even those who will work will not work.

Besides, if there is a cause to save the people who are suffering from oppression, their chivalrous spirit will be stimulated. By making it a “Just war to protect the people from oppression,” Rather than a “Selfish fight between nobles,” We can make them feel a little more involved and motivate them.

Ha, ha! We will do our utmost to help you, Mr. Mayor! You can count on us!”

I'm not going to stint on your success, so work with gusto.With the union president flat on his back, Eve and I straddled our horses once again.

Assumption number three is complete. We'll start the second half of premise two…… Again.”

The Arcunoa Contamination Zone is spreading out before our eyes once again. The next part of the “Make a path through the Arcunoa Polluted Zone with purification magic and step through it” Will begin.

“Realite, Mergin. I entrust you to lead the way. Needless to say, this is Spierzeig territory from here on. Be on your guard.

Ha!

Leave it to me!

From that point on, the situation was much the same as before.The two horsemen lead the way, Eve purifies, and I put magic into the manaral crystals.It was a repetition of the same process.

There were no enemy attacks. It was indeed a peaceful march.

The change came when we were about a third of the way to our destination.

“……Ugh……”

Are you okay?”

Eve wobbled and fell backwards, hitting her head on my collarbone. After a few more times of this, I decided to stop the whole army once and for all.

'…… Stop.'

Manipulating magic requires concentration. The most important thing to remember is that you need to manipulate other people's magic power that is sealed in manaral crystals this time. The dirt in addition to the blazing sun in midsummer. Eve worked for hours on end under these conditions, and I would say that she did a pretty good job.

Is there still a long way to go?”

I asked Mergin, who told me that there was still a little more to come. But Eve had a feeling she couldn't hold out much longer.

We'll change course.”

'Young master, that's……'

As expected, the second-in-command was reluctant to do so. But Eve was limping, and my magic was at its limit.

I've got no other options.

I knew that if I didn't do something, I would go down as well, and my second-in-command couldn't say anything. I had to get out of the Arkunoa Contamination Zone while I still had time to spare.

I'll take care of it!”The Værdberg Field is like a garden!”

Melugin said and puffed out his chest.

The Arcunoa Contaminated Zone on the Spierzeig side extends along the Værdberg Field, which is also the home of the magical beast Arcunoa.

The adjutant and all the military officers insisted on it, so I moved back from the front of the troop. I then gathered the troops around me and thickened the defenses in front, behind, and to the left and right. There is almost no danger of being attacked by the enemy in the field. However, for the nobles, the field is a magical place that they would never enter. In order not to provoke their worry any further, I followed their lead.

And then we entered the Værdberg Field.

This is the field or …….”

The footing is solid. There was no dirt, no swamp. There was no dirt, no swamp, just solid ground.

I had heard that the inside of the field is a strange world where even the topography is distorted, and I was right. As rumored, detection magic was ineffective. Having just experienced the terrorist attack in King's Landing, I felt a slight chill down my back. It was understandable that the nobles would stay away.

The field we entered for the first time was indescribably eerie.

One minute it was a bleak landscape, and the next, a scenic spot appeared out of nowhere, always with an alien atmosphere. I wanted to look around, but unfortunately there was no time. The lead group was moving ahead without regard to my intentions .

“Are they marked?”

We are driving stakes into the ground at equal intervals.

In the Arcuno contaminated area, it would be easy to follow a straight path that has been purified, but this is not the case inside the field. Some kind of marking was essential for the sake of the following units.

'Good then. ……After all, it's much faster than going through the dirt.

The man who was going through the field was not a man of the world.As I said earlier, that person must be very familiar with this field.

With Mergin's guidance, we were able to move the troops at about the same speed as when we moved through the interior.

Thanks to this, it did not take them long to get through the Værdberg Field.

……This is the village of Foghorn.

In front of us, we could see the setting sun and small to medium-sized farming villages.

From the testimonies of Rupetta and Melgin, we know that there are no Spierzeig's shadow families in this area.

The military officers were ahead of us, and after invoking detection magic several times in several places, we headed toward the village with Melgin in the lead.

'Lupetta?

Captain? Why……?”

When we arrived at the village, Melgin immediately called for people.

An old man who appeared to be the village chief, a group of elderly people, and Lupetta appeared.

As expected, I could not talk casually in front of so many people. Before she could blurt out any words, I decided to proceed.

I declared, “The village of Foghori is hereby declared the territory of Kuordenze.

When I declared this, everyone, including the village chief, fell prostrate at once.

The village's main players, Lupetta and Mergin, as well as the village chief, were already in league with the Kuordenze. There was no way that any resistance would emerge.

This was also the moment when the future of Lupetta, who had promised to “Become my woman as long as she stays in the territory of Kuordenze,” Was confirmed. I'm so happy.

The second premise was complete. Now for the fourth. All troops, prepare for the next move.

The breakthrough of the Arcunoa Contamination Zone had been accomplished.

Night is already approaching, but the activity has not yet ceased. The military officers who understand this are already in a state of readiness for battle.

I called out to Mergin, who was looking at me as if he were nowhere to be found.

Mergin, you must do your part here. I will recognize your actions as a military victory for the village. After the war, I will give you a hand.

Yes, sir!

Leaving the exuberant Mergin and the confirming Rear Admiral Rialight in the village, the troop marched back into the village.

Just in case, they decided to take some men from the misty village with them as soldiers.

That's Værdborg City, you know.

Not long after leaving the misty village, we arrived at our next destination.

The city, colored red by the setting sun, would be about the size of Evermill in the Quordenze territory. Located in the interior of the Voistula Plain, it was not a city that could be suddenly invaded by enemies.Since the unification of the Voistula Plain by the Spiaseik family, the city has been wrapped in peace and quiet.

Its defense is not strong.

Now that they have sent troops to Leithleif Castle, it will be even more vulnerable.

The city was a piece of cake to take it down.

……It was a piece of cake.

The long peace of Værdberg was shattered in an instant. By the time the sun set, the city had become Quardenze territory.

It was a complete surprise attack.

It was not a city that would normally have been destroyed by 3,000 soldiers.

The fact that there were almost no followers on the city side and the unusually large number of followers on the Kuordentse side was a major factor in the city's immediate fall.

It is assumed that the retinue was sent to Reischlieff, after all.

So it was as we had expected.

Ha. I can only assume that the neighboring cities are in a similar state. Or even the knights may be absent.

P., The city of Værdborgstill had a knight Værdborg.Past tense.There is no way he could withstand the rush of Quardenze's retinue of soldiers,and his life was scattered in an instant.The violence of numbers is great.

“I'm wondering if the fall of Wehrdberg has been exposed in the neighborhood…….

'Probably not a problem over there.

Many squire military officers surrounded the city of Værdberg and then attacked it en masse, bringing the city down. It seems that the knight Værdberg sent out a message to the neighboring cities to inform them of the emergency, but all of them were soldiers of the squire's ancestors, as if they were short of manpower. Of course, our military officers killed them instantly.

We are now monitoring all comings and goings into the city and making sure that once a person enters the city, they are not let out, even if they are commoners. The city of Værdberg is now under a huge house arrest.

There is little worry that word of the fallout will leak out. We can at least fake it for a few days. I don't intend to be here for a few days.

What about reinforcements from the interior?

Some troops will arrive here during the night and early tomorrow morning.

The fourth assumption to be cleared is to drop the city of Værdberg and make it a bridgehead.

By now, the knight army with territories in the interior of the Quardenze territory would be moving toward the Amelia River. Some of them may have already entered Spierzeig by piston transport. They will reach the village of Misty Nest via the road I took, and will arrive at the city of Værdberg.

The Quardenze soldiers sent from the interior are incredible to the new operation. They will help us to carry out the operation, and they will also be the poison that will invade the unguarded Vojstra Plain.

Then we can consider the fourth premise a success.

The deputy nodded his head.

The Vojstra Plain has been punctured by a large hole.

The first, second, third, and fourth conditions have been breached. Only the fifth remains. The decision to launch the …… Operation will be made tomorrow morning.

All the actions so far have been in the preparatory phase.

How are the soldiers doing?

They are taking a break on a rotating basis.

It is more accurate to say that the local residents are so confused that they are freezing up, rather than because our soldiers are in control. It is a problem before the rioting. It was no wonder, since those who had been lords just a short while ago were suddenly wiped out.

Then, how are the Vaadbergs doing?

The knight Værdborg was gathering the local soldiers. Perhaps he had sent his main force to the front, and had called in temporary recruits to make up for it.

It's a mess, but no one is resisting.”

About 1,500 soldiers were waiting in the city of Værdberg. The military officer who gives them instructions has already departed for the other side and is said to be frozen in place, as are the residents. .

Is it possible to lead it?

“It will be a weak force, but it will be useful enough.”

The city of Vaadberg already belongs to the Quardenze family, and theoretically, the local militia attached to it belongs to the Quardenze army.

Well, the people probably don't care much about who the lord is. After all, they are mostly aware that they are involved in the war of their superiors.

Is there anything wrong with a weak army?

The skill of a military officer is how well he can handle a weak army.

In the first place, there is a perception among them that the soldiers of the ancestors were supposed to be weak and stupid. Highly skilled soldiers such as engineers are rather irregular.

Although soldiers from other territories are not easy to use, as long as there is an absolute hierarchical relationship between followers and slaves, the minimum order is acceptable, and it is the competence of military officers to make it acceptable.

Aside from food and weapons, the sound of “Local procurement of soldiers” Is surprising, but I also think it is normal on the continent of Eluo.

I'll give you one instruction,” He said. As long as you incorporate them into the Quardenze army, be sure to collect their flags and other insignia so that they will not be identified as Vaadberg soldiers.

Unity is important. It will intimidate the enemy.

“Yes, sir. I will dispose of everything.”

Then I thought for a moment.

“……, No, keep it to retrieval.”

I gave a few other instructions, and then the door to the room is knocked. I allowed them to enter and Rearight came in. He seemed to have come running from the misty village.

Young master.”

Rear light's voice echoed low.

The fifth premise is ready.

I felt my heart beat loudly.

I had proposed this new strategy myself and had been working hard on it, but now that I was ready to implement it, I was almost hesitant to take the final step.

I'll check with them after this. I'll check with you after this.”

But I go on. I will not stop again.

Make sure the soldiers are well rested.

Outside the window, the night is already dark. Tomorrow would be a crucial day for us.

As soon as reinforcements arrive from the interior, we will make a major move.

Operation Snake Jaw.

I decided to go for it.
