Armed Summoners - Black Spears and the Brave Men of the Other World

"General Grey's purpose, I believe, is the Dragon House."

"Let's agree to that. I don't think we're going back to Zalwarn."

"Is it possible to look at Zalwarn's predicament and hold the flickered anti-flag?

"No. Then there's no way you can ignore us."

To Rock's doubts, Leno shakes his neck to the side.

I don't even know Rock's question, but Leno would be more right here. As for the Zalwarn side, you'd want to get the Gray Army no matter what hand you use, and you should be using manoeuvres for that. It's Zalwarn's most powerful unit. It was only natural that I wanted to write off the sin of disobedience and get it back. But if Gray were to return to Zalwarn, he could not have silenced the northern march, the army of Gandia, and gone bare.

Besides, if they were willing to return to Zalwarn, they would have taken some action against the North March's Malware offensive. They have been caged in Fort Gallon and pretended not to see the invasion of the Gandian army.

Gray doesn't even think about going back to Zalwarn. The time is running around February when he is hostile to Zalwarn. There should have been as many chances to go back. On the Zalwarn side, too, would have been prepared to accept Gray.

Zalwarn did not move his army to conquer Gray because he knows best the horrors of the Gray army and, at the same time, must have wanted to regain its power. In order to conquer the Grey army, you must be prepared for a great deal of bleeding. Of course, if Zalwarn put all his efforts into it, it wouldn't have been as difficult as conquering Grey's army, but even so, the decline in power might have been enough to interfere with Zalwarn's future operations.

Zalwarn made too many enemies around him. Gibelle and Meredo as well as Gandia crave the land of Zalwarn. If the power of war decreases, that alone increases the risk of land erosion. So you should have wanted to deal with Gray peacefully.

The more I thought about it in Zalwarn's shoes, the more I had a headache.

"They may have judged the status quo vandalized by the Gandhian army a good opportunity. Now we can go straight to the Dragon House."

It was natural to think so.

Deion put his gaze back on the map.

The map obtained in Malwale gave a detailed description of the location of the city in Zalwarn and the streets were also depicted in a clear way. Zalwarn's territory itself has a snoring trapezoid. In the northeast of it was Malwale, controlled by the Deion, and the Gallon Fort, where the Gray Army was based, was located southeast of Malwale, and if the Gray Army was going for the Dragon House from Fort Gallon, it would have been inevitable to engage the North march for Fort Fabruneia.

We had to break through Fort Fabruneia to go straight from Fort Gallon to Fort Dragon, then it was also natural to follow the streets from Malware to Fort Fabruneia. However, it must be a coincidence that we pass the streets during the break of the North March. No way, I didn't leave Fort Gallon after I got the information that the North march had left Malware. Even though Buhmatz's leg power greatly outweighs that of a military horse, it doesn't mean that Malwal and Fort Gallon are close. Communicating information alone takes time.

"Five-Way Defense Team...... Are you going to attack Fort Fabruneia?

"At the end of this street is Fort Fabruneia. No way, you can't ignore the fort."

"And that army would easily pull out the fort"

"Oh, definitely"

The strongest troops in Zalwarn are using the Imperial Demon Buhmatz as a horse. Wouldn't it be easy to break through, such as Fort Fabruneia? The fort itself is a robust fortress, and in normal combat forces, the offense is thought to be difficult to navigate, but what the Grey army possesses is hard to say about normal combat forces. Simply beating a crowd of Imperial Demons may determine victory or loss. Moreover, a short-term showdown will not exploit the properties of the Five-Way Defense Team.

The Five-Way Defense Corps is a powerful defensive network of robust fortifications built in five locations around the Dragon Mansion. What is its daunting name is an extremely primitive substitute on the back, and it is nothing more than repelling enemy troops by giving them strength between adjacent fortifications. To the extent that enemy forces have attacked one or two fortifications, they will be able to function well.

For example, assuming that only the North march has started an attack on Fort Fabruneia, reinforcements will be directed from the two adjacent forts, Revien and Vridia. If you can strike out of the fort after being sandwiched from the north and south, even the north march can take a lot of damage. So the way the Gandian army figured out how to attack the Five-Way Defense Force is even simpler. By hitting three fortifications, the power divided to control all parts of Zalwarn reduces the interfering power of the five fortifications. Westward march forces are in charge of Fort Bünell southwest of Ryufu, Central Army Fort Vridia south of Ryufu, and North march is in charge of Fort Fabruneia east of Ryufu, launching attacks during the same period. This means that at least the central army will not be provided with reinforcements from the fortifications next to each other. The western march and the north march must watch out for reinforcements from Ryburn and Revien, but reinforcements from the other side are easy to deal with. Regardless, we must be vigilant about the forces of war from the Dragon House, but it was the general intent of the Gandian army that we do not think it is so easy to move the defensive forces of the capital.

That's why the North march is headed to Fabruneia, not Revien. We are talking about the fact that there is no difference between the distances from Malwale to the two forts and that there is no significant difference in the power of either fort, and as a deion, it was not the same thing that the subject of the attack was in Revien or Fabulneia.

Now, the Gandia Army planned to attack the Five-Way Defense Force that way, but the Gray Army won't be. The number of troops is approximately three thousand. But the Imperial Demon Buhmatz also uses the same number, as a military horse, and you wouldn't mind simply thinking twice to triple your power. It's overwhelming. Breakthroughs alone would not have taken a pull on the black spear western march army, and the destructive power was likely to be tremendous. The defense would be higher in the central army with the White Shield, but in this case the defense is not a big problem. The Grey army will break through Fort Fabruneia with its overwhelming power. No matter how strong the walls surround you, there won't be a single pile if that army hits you.

No matter how powerful the Pentagon is, it doesn't make sense if reinforcements are attacked at the fort before it reaches us. In that sense, Gandia could have left the Westward Army with a five-way defensive force offense. If the black spear that fell Bahandar, would it easily dominate one or two of the fortifications?

"If Gray-Barzelg is going to drop Fort Fabruneia, I can't thank you enough."

Deion stared at the dragon palace at the tip of the fort depicted on the map. If Gray's army is going to break through Fort Fabruneia and clear the way to Dragon House, the North March can reach Dragon House like a deserted field. You can reach the heart of Zalwarn without draining any of your power. Nothing but luck.

"But then maybe we should head for the Central Army reinforcement"

"I see...... that might be good too"

Deion roared low at Elius' suggestion. If you don't need to devote your strength to the Fort Fabruneia offense, it would also be nice to go from Fabruneia to Vridia and join the central army. I hear the Central Army's power is luxury, and it has powerful mercenary regiments such as the White Shield and the Pale Wind, served by Lucion's White Saint Knights and Myon's Cavalry. I don't think I need to bother to give you a hand, but I can say I don't have the strength to let you play with lost targets. Joining the central army would swell to about 6,000 troops, and then it would be like twisting a baby's hand, such as Fort Vridia's offense. All you have to do is attack him with so much overwhelming force that there is fire.

Most of all, there is no way that we can make a decision about rendezvous with Deion. On the road to Fabruneia, I have no choice but to ask General Algazard of the Central Army for his intentions, but then it will naturally take some time. Nevertheless, that is also the default route. For the Central Army, the North March, and the West March to align their footprints, there is no need to take the time to keep in touch.

It will take a few days before the Five-Way Defense Team starts its offensive.

There is no need to rush to the fort, but reporting to the central army should be done quickly.

"I hear that not following the strategy is something that remains."

"You're right. Strategies, how do we deal with things when they don't carry them according to tactics? And that's what the commander's arms look like."

Deion circled the map affirming Elius' words.

"As soon as we're ready, we'll resume our march. No change of destination, Fort Fabruneia."

"Ha."

To Deion's order, two Legion chiefs and an armed summoner, Elius, responded to a different tone and corrected their posture.
