A Mid-level (Middle-aged) Office Worker’s Laid-Back Industrial Revolution in Another World

Inside the tent were three counts, a knight commander, a soldier commander and three platoon commanders, Takeshi and Benon.



Grandpa Elvis, Takeshi, and the rest of the group, other than Benon, fell silently with a painful look on their faces.

"Ahh... the current opponent's strength and placement... well, I see."

And what about Takeo's predictions for the future? "

Listen to Grandpa Elvis.

"Even if you think about it... there are 2,500 Viscount Fallon and Count Barni troops on the left and right sides of the front, 1,000 Baron Belli troops in the center of the front of the Godwin army behind them, and 3,500 royal troops on both sides of the back. For some reason (...) there are 45 augers at the edge of the Viscount Fallon and Count Barni army...

We'll stay here and deal with them individually.

We'll have to deal with it more slowly than we can handle it.

[Staying Defensive] What's the best you can do other than this? ”

Takao said in a daze.

"Well... that's not true.

Moreover, if you act like you are dragging yourself to the Customs, the opponent will be judged weak and will be rushed. "

Grandpa Elvis said in amazement.

"But, Lord Elvis! 9500 opponents! If we put in the Augur, we'll have nearly 10,000 men!?

Is it okay to stay like this!?

Isn't there an orderly way to curl up at Seki and sharpen those who are approaching!? "

Count Temple takes his seat.

"... rather, I think that 10,000 people will have limited ways to cope if they come to Seki."

Seki is a substitute for so many people to be able to expand, so I think it would be better to deal with it individually in a wide area, as Takeo said. "

Grandpa Elvis says.

"What if I'm hit by a total attack!?"

Don't you think it's best to go to Seki to reduce the damage!? "

Said Count Temple.

... Takeo, what do you think?

"Whether it's ranting or not, we're dealing with 10,000 soldiers."

The difference in time was just that, if the opponent was serious about invading, the Demon Kingdom would win.

As far as I'm concerned, it's not only important to defeat them in small-scale battles, but it's also important to maintain your strength without causing casualties.

In small battles, I think it would be better to give us more advantages, so that we can settle early and increase the number of casualties. ”

I wonder if Takeo and his father think it's better to stay in the field like this?

Count Godwin asks.

"Yes, at least to keep in mind that at Seki, the attack by the magician will be the main thing from the top of Seki."

However, there was not enough space for 5,000 people at the top of the level, and there weren't many magicians.

Even if you think of a magician and a stone-throwing soldier... maybe 500 soldiers could attack from the top.

That being said, there is no point in the other party opening the seal to unfold in front of the seal and hitting it from the inside.

In this case, I think it would be good first of all to have a field where each lord's army can judge and intercept individually, and the adjacent lord's army can go to reinforcements in the unlikely event.

It's a strange story, but I don't think there is a need to bother giving advantage to 10,000 to 5,000 when confronted. "

Takeo says.

"I see... that's true.

There were a thousand magicians called the Baron Belli army.

Even if there was a firefight... I can't say that we can defend at the point where we fought at Kwan...

Robert, do you have any objections to Takeo's opinion? "

"... I don't have any.

Takeo-san said the same thing.

I also missed the fact that the number of magicians was higher.

I think that retreating to Sekien will only make us more disadvantaged at this stage. "

"Hmm... Takeo, when will you retreat to Seki?"

"When the number of losing soldiers was overwhelmingly reduced in skirmishes, or when they were about to attack in earnest."

Sent a message to the King's City... We will only fight and die as long as we live here.

If it became a full-fledged invasion, Count Godwin's realm would fall.

Count Temple and Count Elvis won't be safe either. ”

"... hmm, maybe it's just a matter of protecting a small number of people (...), but in fact, it's only useful if you multiply the number of days to invade."

All right, let's start the battle here.

The arrangement will remain as it is, and everyone will have to deal with the frontal enemy when it starts moving. "

Count Godwin decides and tells everyone on the scene.

Yes.

Grandpa Elvis and Count Temple reply.

Takeo, is there anything else you're interested in?

Count Godwin asks.

"I see... a total of 90 augers on both ends are bothering me."

"Hmm... I've never brought auger before, but...

What do you think of Takeo? "

"... There is information that this conventional war coincides with the timing of the selection of the king of the demon kingdom.

According to our butlers (...), the auger is thought to be the equivalent of a disposable soldier above the livestock.

Perhaps you won't use your own soldiers this time, and you won't deny the possibility of using augers to fight. ”

"... while the king is being chosen... I may not want to have casualties among my own soldiers."

Count Godwin murmured as he thought about it.
