After the Hordes' glance at Seylan was over.

Rough figures of soldiers gathered in Narvarondo were accounted for.

The Crusaders had five thousand marines combined, including nobles and local monarchs, and fifty Kingsguards that Seylan himself had taken with him. There will be even more soldiers if people are collected from the vicinity, but they said they dropped you off because they can expect reinforcements from the center in the future. There is no shortage so far, and it seems likely because of the presence of the famous Rustinel minister and his soldiers, who are incomparable in strength.

On the other hand, the Nadar army, speaking of

- Karchan, the Nadals call it 15,000.

"That's... three times the size of this one. Uncle Nadar has had quite a few."

"Nah. You can't collect as much as you want."

"Right. Even if you hire mercenaries of the stream, you can't have that number more than the surrounding aristocrats are not on your side."

Apparently.

Sometimes in the world of men, these demonstrators gather at rallies more than tenfold, but I guess this is something similar. The times when television and radio were the main sources of information gathering. The masses had no choice but to peddle the number announced that way, and most humans assumed it to be true.

If you pepper the story, the soldiers will float.

If you misidentify the number, the operation will be affected.

It's hard to even know the exact number of opponents in this world.

It would mean that even such simple and extreme haphazard rewards can be part of the strategy.

"I'm looking forward to the war."

"Right. Long time no see."

... While we talk about that, I also feel like the number of opponents doesn't really matter to both the parents and children in line and the fierce grin that the hunt has seeped in.

(Er. I'm laughing at you while you talk noisy, those guys...)

With a voice that often passes around, ministers are all at ease. Even if those two had the number of enemy troops on par, wouldn't they laugh like this? I don't feel that way.

Whatever was surprising was the fact that the Crusaders had one National Magic Instructor.

Dark hair cut into shorter pieces.

Unified standing in black monochrome from top to bottom, any kind of decoration is omitted, a style that can be said to be too qualitative for aristocracy.

A man whose age is uncertain at first glance.

Lowheim Wrangler, a magic guide with the street name of [Waterwheel (Suya)].

Arcs remembered him well, too, as he had asked the most core questions when he announced his magic meter.

The Earl of Wrangler family has served as a magical guide to the royal family for generations.

Is that why you were following this visit to Seylan?

I met him as soon as I finished my glance at Seylan.

"You and I have been together since that announcement at the Guild of Mages."

"Yes, my lord. We are always grateful for your assistance."

"No, I owe you that favor, too. Thanks to this, some magic has been successfully improved, and the transmission of spells to students (Denka) has been lubricated. I owe you a thank you."

"I would be delighted to be your magician if it helped you."

... After such an exchange, I couldn't talk much longer at the convenience of the other party.

Currently in the operating room in the castle of Narvarondo, a military conference is taking place.

A square table was set up in the operation room, each with the nobles and lords who took the lead.

A short distance from there, Saylan Crocellulod sits on his back.

Young Junying, who heads the Kingsguard, Count Eurid Rain, the National Magic Instructor has a third seat, and the Waterwheel Magic Instructor Loheim Wrangler consolidates both sides of it.

Louise Rustinel, the big lord who is second only to Ceylan, is right around the corner.

All those who are in a position to move soldiers in battle are here.

And there, for some reason, also Arcs.

A tour accompanied by Noah and standing, although he cannot get to the same seat as them because he is not in a position to move soldiers. As well, seats are available for the dates I participated in for the tour, so I now stand beside them.

... By the way, Kazzi said that's a pain in the ass, Pass. He seems to think it's out of place to participate in a military conference, and he just found another job and went over there.

Whatever.

Regardless of Deet, the son of Louise, the great lord, as an arcs, the big question was why he was so special.

Even though he made a significant contribution to Prince Wang's Nadar territorial escape, his position is that of a son of lower nobility, who has also been abolished.

Talking about letting them refrain on the side during the war is also a broken treatment.

Normally we should be in an unacceptable position to even be listening to military deliberations like this.

But if Seylan tells you to "listen," you have no choice.

While I'm aware of the misplacement, I'm savoring the awkwardness.

Speaking of Ceylan, who, on the other hand, gave his life like that, he has raised objections or voted on the proposals of the Hordes while listening to the contents of the military council.

Don't say anything in detail, but occasionally encourage confirmation about the purpose.

I have the impression that it takes the head of the military council well.

(Is that it? The greatest man shouldn't talk to the planning of the operation or anything like that)

That was written in the most famous military code in the man's world.

According to the book, in order to win the war, the monarch must not speak out to the operations set up by the general.

Let's say the Sovereign took an active part in the military conference.

Naturally, because the utterance of the monarch with the greatest power takes precedence, if you mouth it out, there will be discord between you and the general who sets up the operation, and the monarch is most likely to fail even if the monarch sets up the operation because he is not an expert in setting up the military operation.

For this reason, it was written that it was strictly forbidden to pinch the mouth (beak).

In that regard, the Crocellulods are experts in their position, as are the Hordes, as they were originally military.

If military education is made tough, disputing the operation will not create discord, nor will it offer strange measures. Rather, I have the impression that, although Ceylan participates in the military conference, the military conference is progressing smoothly because it properly respects the views of the Horsemen.

In any case, the military council itself...

"What are the chances that the Empire will march on this plane?

"I was wondering if that wasn't there. The Empire is currently in a situation with two fronts. Perhaps there is no room for more fronts, either manually or materially."

"What's the exact number of soldiers on Nadar's side? So far, there have been reports of fewer than the Crusaders?

"Are you sure?

"Considering the number of conscripts, mercenaries hired, etc., it seems reasonable."

Starting with the confirmation of the current situation, the agenda eventually goes to substantive manoeuvres.

- Then how do we attack?

- Why don't we consolidate the scaffolding here first?

- Isn't it a hand to wait for reinforcements from the centre?

That's how the nobles are proceeding with the military debate.

Seylan presents a first strategic goal.

"- First of all, it will be vital for our crusaders to seize the edge of Nadal territory, Fort Tab. It should now lead to solid crushing of what is possible one by one. Does everyone have a stomach proposal for that?

Fort Tab.

If you enter Nadal territory from Rustinel territory, it's a fort that stands first.

Seylan shows a first goal, but Eurid, who is close, puts in a supplement about it.

"That's it, but there are reports that the Nadar army is moving faster than expected"

"Ho."

"If the Nadar army were to maintain its speed as it is, it would appear that it would not be able to take Fort Tab in time"

"Can I send an advance unit, please?

"It would be temporary, even if we could destroy and seize the defensive soldiers. They think the main unit will take it back soon."

"Right. I wanted to keep the fort while the defense was not in place...... so if this one went ahead with the army, what position would the clash be?

"This is the area plugged into the Mill Door Plains, where the Nadar army supposedly lays a formation on Fort Tab"

Seylan asks Eurid as the gathered lords raise their voices such as "Fast" and "That's it..."

"Then Eurid. You're saying the war will be a full-fledged fort attack?

"I was wondering if I could get rid of that possibility."

Fort attack. When the possibility is suggested, some nobles leak their groans.

I don't have to know if I'm just going to kick the defensemen.

If it is a full-fledged fortification attack by the Nadar army headquarters, the attacking side will need a corresponding number of troops, and the soldiers will suffer heavy losses. Lower aristocrats, such as barons and quasi barons, who have few gestures, may not be very happy when this happens.

"It's still a fort attack..."

"It's just not Nadar's main castle. You should still see it as better..."

... Since the crusade is the purpose, the castle attack itself should have been expected in the first place, but if you open the lid, this groan. I thought it was bright on tactical and strategic knowledge, as would be normal for military families, but apparently not to see this place.

So I remember the day when I was cut off from coming to Rustinel territory.

It was when I got out of the store with Swoo and she told me a strategic story.

- What? Was there such a strategic guidebook for Laceft?

When he made a statement to the effect that he smelled the existence of the Book of War, he made a statement to the effect that it was "not supposed to be".

If her perception is correct, it is possible that even military families are not very bright on such knowledge.

In the first place, even the bookstore doesn't sell the books.

In this case, I suppose you should say that there was something wrong with the world of men whose secret law books were generally in circulation.

Count Bow opens his mouth as he hears a passive grunt from the table.

"There's nothing to be afraid of. What's with the fort attack? This one has all the soldiers. And whosoever stands on his feet shall destroy them all with all his might. Isn't it? People."

Those who listen to the Count's valiant remarks and agree with them will appear.

"Sure, we're outnumbered."

"You won't have a problem attacking from the front"

Then Seylan opens his mouth again.

"Let's ask the lords gathered here. If so, how to attack Fort Tab"

When Seylan asks together, the senior nobles speak up.

"Your Highness. This place broke down the fort by moving a siege weapon and a Demon Commander unit, and then I was wondering if I could attack you once and for all. It's another battle to be flashy and psychological oppressive to the opponent."

"Sure. Are you happy to get your hands on the demolition business here?"

"Ha. Your Highness would make you one of the best demolishers on the continent."

"Your Highness. If your opponent doesn't want reinforcements, I know it's another hand to take the time. It surrounds the fort and dries up Polk Nadar."

"That's... going to do another good dry thing"

"Whether the pig dries out or the frog dries out... I guess it's something to see"

When the aristocrat who gave the measure says so, he laughs.

I don't feel that the type of humor is biased towards black, but I guess this kind of thing has a role in relaxing the air in the field. Seylan's aggressive joke made it easier for the other nobles to come up with measures.

"Your Highness."

"Count Bowe? Is there anything you want? Tell me."

"Ha. In this case, I know there is no need to do special, petty work. As I said earlier, the numbers are higher here. I was wondering if I could get ready to attack Fort Stone Street and attack Stone Street."

"Hmm."

"The inheritance of my ancestors is deep, if the certainty is historical. It's another hand to mimic it and move the army."

"Hmm. Using solid measures is another way to go. You will also be able to show the remaining steadfastness to those who are not here."

"Ha!

... Eventually, after the nobles presented a one-way solution, Seylan turned to Louise.

"Louise. What do you think of that? You may express your opinions without objection."

"- Ha. So... if it's going to be a fort attack, it's going to be crucial to do whatever you can and pull the soldiers outside. I thought the first thing we should do is make soldiers and commanders feel like they don't want to be in the fort."

"Hmm. How about using the siege weapons and demon masters I mentioned earlier?

"If you were to use a siege weapon, the amount of work and costs would be heavy, and if you use the Mage Master to destroy the fort, you would be lacking an attacker here. I know that if you want a victory like the one you painted, you will need to calculate and restructure."

"So how about a hand to dry it up?

"If you think about the wear and tear of this soldier, I thought it was a good hand. However, the cost of maintaining the army while waiting for it to dry up will be a huge burden on the Lords below the Viscount. And then I wonder how this battle, the victory if it takes time, will lead to His Highness's assessment."

"Sure. I guess there's a lot to think about."

Seylan listens to Louise and examines the measures raised.

But Louise is good at it, too. It does not deny outright the measures put forward by other nobles, but also addresses the good side, while raising palpable concerns and entrusting the final judgment to Ceylan.

This would preserve the face of the aristocrat who gave the measure, and would not stand a corner. Although the Rustinels are among the most proven military families gathered here, others will have to listen to their masters' opinions.

"It's just..."

"What's up?

"Those opinions are also based on the premise that if it's going to be a fort attack like this,"

"Hmm? Is that what you think it is?

"While overstepping. I wondered if I would simply attack the fort like this…"

Louise suddenly expressed that opinion on the flow of becoming a fortress offense. Count Bowe asked her that.

"My Lord Louise. If Nadar is attacking, it will be natural to secure and stand up for the fort first. What makes you think so?

"Oh, my God." []/(n, vs, adj-no) (1) (uk) (uk) (uk) (uk) (uk) (uk)

"Or, what is a survey..."

When Count Bowe heard a statement that lacked credibility, he thought the military council, and hence himself, was ridiculed? Tremble with surprises that don't even make your face angry.

Louise, on the other hand, however, continued to show a cool face,

"Oh? The battlefield inquiry doesn't surprise you, does it? I can't decide the big picture with my head."

"But! It sounds like a military council, and you talk about it!

"You're absolutely right. But who else is uncomfortable with anything? Doesn't he?

When Louise says so, those who support Louise's ideas begin to emerge from the crowd, such as "Sure" and "Is it rush to think of it as a fortification attack".

"Louise."

"Ha. Only if Your Highness remembers that I have concerns"

... In that way, Louise raises concerns, but the debate proceeds in the direction of fortification.

The debate is going smoothly - but I don't feel like it's a very good trend.

On top of that, think.

For starters, about the movement of the Nadar army.

If the story I mentioned earlier is correct, the Nadar army says it is attacking us.

"... will they march on Nadar's main castle, which is easy to protect?"

"Sounds like it."

"I knew it was crazy..."

Returns a stuck exhale to Noah's hand.

As I was in the position of Polk Nadar.

If the Crusaders are going to attack, they shouldn't normally act like that.

If you know you're going to be attacked, the first prerequisite is to consolidate your defense.

It is easy to intercept the Crusaders if you are in the castle of Nadar, the most well-guarded stronghold.

If that's how you endure and outweigh the crusader's offense and in the meantime seek reinforcements from some country hostile to the kingdom, there will be victory buds as well.

That's definitely the way to go out, as Nadal supposedly has a legend with the Empire. Because all you have to do is rely on a handover to get in.

But in reality, that hasn't happened, the strange thing is.

- That means.

"Master Arcs. Did you come up with anything else?

"Huh? What? I want to hear it too."

Looking back at Noah as well as Deet as interested.

"No, think about why they're aggressively attacking us, rather than thinking about it."

That's what I say, what I say.

"Normally, in these cases, it is normal to destroy each and every one of them before they reach the main castle or gather the forces of the enemy, right? It's a long time before Nadar assembles his troops and moves out, so I thought we'd stay on defense at the main castle, and now he's moving aggressively as if attacking. This. Then I don't know what I want."

"You're attacking me because you know you'll lose if it takes time over there, right?

"Then there's a lot of flatlands to fight, not near the Mill Door Plains, but more elsewhere, right? What do you say we put a line on Fort Tab and defend it like this... what do you think?

Deet seems knowledgeable about it.

"Uh, yeah, no... I don't know if that fort is good for defense. It could be used as a single base, but the facilities would be better in the rear, and there is a limited number of places to accommodate first... I guess I would choose. So I'm guessing Carchan is doing it again."

"Then it is best to stand deep in Nadal territory after all. Still don't dare, because there's a reason Nadar can't."

... Fort Tab is not suitable for defense, and more east, there is almost nothing but flat ground.

And fights in the flat say things in numbers. It's only a small number, it's a disadvantage.

Fighting on the flat ground is a situation that should definitely be avoided for the Nadar army, which is now unable to prepare a number.

Still, that means you're forced to attack me.

"The Nadar side has to attack the Crusaders quickly. No, I shouldn't anymore. It's a common story that we're going to end the war early because we're going to run out of food, but that's hard to think about because of the situation, and then we want to keep the forts and positions in check, but there are few major shocks around the Mill Door Plains, and all we have is a small fort..."

Securing a fort in the territory.

The seizure of an important base on the enemy's side.

Even though I don't have the main strategic purpose I said so, they attack me as quickly as they are in a hurry.

This is a complete impossible offense. Because of a world where there are no solid military laws or doctrines spread, it cannot be said that this is not the reason 'because the other person is too stupid', but something so aristocratic that it is left to the periphery to be fulfilled would be such a foolishness?

Then there must be some point in this impossible attack.

If Polk Nadar is in a hurry, that means he doesn't have time.

The disadvantage that the passage of time would bring to him in this situation would be reinforcements to the Crusaders from every region.

Just take the time, the Crusaders are thick.

When that happens, what will restrict Polk Nadar? What will I be unable to do?

Destroying the Crusaders?

- No, you're not. It is difficult to destroy the Nadar army alone from the beginning. Without other factors such as reinforcements from approximate, base defense, we shouldn't even be able to fight on a par with the Crusaders.

Then, the acceptance of an important base?

- That's different, too. According to earlier Deet's story, Fort Tab is not suitable for defense and has a small number of people to accommodate. With no solid base in front of Fort Tab either, it shouldn't necessarily mean you're choosing a place to set up a formation.

So what the hell is it?

What Count Polk Nadar wants most right now.

The more crusaders, the more things that just get out of his reach.

If that's not the destruction of the Crusaders or the takeover of important bases...

"... Your Highness's neck?

That minori who squealed those words.

Second, I noticed that the lords who were in the process of holding a military conference were looking at this one.

Notice now that it was noticed and solidified, even Ceylan, who would be in the upper seat, turned this way.

Immediately afterwards, the room is enveloped with a swordswallowing atmosphere at once.

Are you angry at your unsolicited remarks?

No, the marquis, too, is swallowed by the atmosphere of the place.

Otherwise, there should be a voice of caution and reprimand.

What controls this place is nothing more than the prestige that Seylan Crocellulod unleashes from itself.

"Arcs."

What was called was such a call that I could feel flat, unchallenged, and perhaps even chilled everywhere.

When I hear that voice, I realize that I have committed foolishness.

He proceeded on his own, and then spoke of His Highness's neck, and so on, and even his lashes were asked.

Definitely, it would be a situation to be taken as disrespectful.

- I did it.

Even if I regret that I should have stopped my reflections along the way, it was too much of a story now.
