"What do you think about Baran-Diaran?

It was on the afternoon of the twenty-second that Ayn-Lajar was questioned by Hermain-Sector. In the less decorative interior, there are only two: Hermine and Ayne. I guess the only reason I called Ain was due to his consideration as commander of the Zibel Assault Army, but I wasn't sure why. Nothing, I don't even think it's a good idea for someone else to ask me.

"Are you saying that priority should be given to the recapture of Haskah territory? As the general said, we can't afford that right now. Besides, if we even discuss the Demon King, it is visible that the Demon King's Army will also lose momentum. Isn't it too late to get Haska's old realm back?

"I know that. Just a little concerned about what he said."

"The land is full of Imperial Demons..."

"Oh. It was this battle that Haska abandoned as nothing more than a branch leaf for Kruselk. There were reports that the Haskas weren't well equipped to fight, but sometimes this is a disadvantage if it's a long fight."

Hermain-Sector looked sinister. Kruselk's power, including the regular army and the Imperial Demon, greatly outweighs the Allied forces. On top of that, whatever the Regular Army was, the Imperial Devil could have been replenished, defeated or not.

Kruselk has a proven track record of multiplying his power in the war against the Alliance of Antidemonic Kings. During the war against the anti-Kruselk coalition, we had to consider the possibility of replenishing the lost power, as well as the gathering of more than 60,000 Imperial Demons in the land at the time of the war. And then the coalition might be defeated. Long-term warfare, drain warfare, replenishment, and additional difficult coalition forces are overwhelmingly unfavourable.

If it is, I want to go for a short showdown.

(Short-term showdown, not so much the shortest fight...)

Nares-Ragnahorn's depicted strategy is that he will attack the main cities of Krusek while avoiding clashes directly with the Krusek army, not necessarily what can be called a short-term showdown. But just because we aim for a short-term showdown is close to impossible, such as going for a direct crusade. Kursale is a city on the northern tip of Kurselk. Even if we turn our armies from the coalition participating countries, we cannot reach them without dropping some cities and fortresses. You can't just aim for the capital to fly, just for the Demon King's neck.

(What about the assassination...?

Arya had been sent to the Demon King by the will of Nahless. If she has an incompetent ability to detect anything, it should be easy to assassinate the Demon King. Neither man, nor the Imperial Devil, nor even the armed summoner, can perceive her presence, which has disappeared. It would be the same for anyone to think that she would be used only for the king's escort. He has excellent abilities, both as a warrior and as an assassin.

Nahless seems to have thought about making the most of her extraordinary abilities. You can leave Leongand's neighborhood to the Royal SS, Lion's Fang. The king's shield for this, if you think of it, then Nares' decision is reasonable and correct. Most importantly, it is true that Arya has saved Leongand's predicament from time to time, and it is not a bad decision to let her protect herself. Gandhia's power is too tight. It is no exaggeration to say that we will not allow other countries to follow except for the mercenary regiment.

Nevertheless, if the opponent has enough enemies to be uncomparable with that excessive force, it may be that it is different from the story. If you don't even put in a Leongand escort, you're a tough opponent to win, Kruselk is.

(Discuss the Demon King, and that's it. I hope that's a simple story)

If that's the case, you can wait for Arya to assassinate the Demon King. Kruselk will be focusing his consciousness on the coalition forces that have been attacking him from the South. It should be easy to reach the Crusade or sneak into the Demon King's room. No, she would be able to infiltrate and assassinate easily, no matter what the state.

(Failed?

Or couldn't you kill him?

Either way, it should be seen that the assassination of the Demon King was not fulfilled any more than no change could be seen within the territory of Kruselk. Or, although it was the assassination of the Demon King that succeeded, wasn't it the Demon King who was serving the Imperial Demon? Either way, it does not change the situation in which the coalition forces are placed.

It was in the middle of that that Baran-Diaran showed up.

"If we abandon too many Haskas who are aware of the short-term showdown, we cannot abandon the possibility that Haskah's Imperial Demon will poke behind the Allied forces marching on Waydrid"

"So what are we going to do?

I'm asking your opinion.

"... that's the hard part. As Baran-Diaran put it, if Haska had a large group of Imperial Demons, that would not necessarily attack the coalition. Instead, it could collapse into Gibelle territory, which has given up its power."

Gibbel provides the Allied forces with the bulk of his holdings. Priority was given to fighting the enemies of neighbouring countries over the defense of their territories. It's the same with Gandhia, but Gandhia is protected by the Allied Coalition countries. Jivel is not the same as Jivel in its danger of decreasing defensive power.

"I thought about that, too. but it is now more a prerequisite to defeat the Demon King of Kruselk, whether Zibel is in danger or not. It can be difficult to wipe out the Imperial Devil as long as the ruler demon king is in charge"

Hermine's eyes are cold. Then it makes you feel the heat. It's like a freezing flame. Ein was satisfied with Hermine's answer. He seems to be a person who can be considered victorious as a coalition over the situation in his own country. I guess that's why he was appointed commander of the Gibelle Assault Army. I was sure of my personality and my sight.

"Should we still focus solely on discussing the Demon King"

"If we split the troops on the Haskah side, we don't have enough power."

"I have Reaper Squad. It is no exaggeration that our Zibel Assault Army has more than the finest power: The Lion's Tail. I don't think it's a bad idea to give them a place to fight."

(Death Squad, right? What are you thinking?

Reaper Squad is a small group of elite fighters, also known as Zibel's Leap Squad. With Craig Zem-Midnas as captain, Lem Wau-Marlow and others who are tight on Setuna are the forces here, and they were also playing their full part in the Seidlock strategy. As Hermine put it, although he hasn't been as prominent an activist as The Lion's Tail, there's no way Ayn knows the fact that he's doing more remarkable work than any other unit.

As a Zibel Assault Army, we need the strength we need. Fighting is known to become increasingly intense in the future. If so, I'd like to avoid turning them to Haska as a separate task force.

(Are you even going to claim ownership of Haska?

Ein glanced back at its chilling eyes in an attempt to read Hermine's thoughts. Perhaps he should have the same look on his face. Cold, with no islands to attach. I don't know what you're thinking, those eyes.

If this battle ends with the victory of the coalition forces and the territory of Krusek is levelled by the coalition forces, the rush over control of the territory of Krusek will begin. At that time, what matters is the contribution in the war, but most of the countries participating in the coalition seemed to think that all of it would be a one-man winning state for Gandhia. In fact, it would be extremely difficult to achieve more results than Gandhia, who possesses the Black Spear and The Lion's Tail.

Then you'll have to earn points in other ways.

Haven't Hermine thought of sending troops to Haska, who refused once, in anticipation of such a thing ahead?

If we can disperse the Imperial Demon from Haska at all and control even one of the cities, we can claim ownership, as well as make excuses for ensuring the safety of the Allied forces behind us.

(That would be fine then)

If so, the foreword needs to be withdrawn.

"As the General pleases"

"... then let me do that. I'm not going to take revenge on Gandhia."

"I understand."

Ein bowed deeply and left his room.

In the course of that day, it was decided that the Reaper forces would head with Baran-Diaran's troops for the retrieval of the Haska side. Not many were surprised by the talk of water in their sleeping ears. but it can be said that there was little opposition. Because the main purpose was not the recapture of Haska, but in the name of ensuring the safety of the coalition forces behind it.

But the Reaper, Lem Wau-Marlow, was removed from his mission.

"Please continue to escort your husband to me, and thank you for your continued support."

Ain was alone in arms, looking out for her greeting the face of Lion's Tail.

(No surveillance is easier to understand...)

Rem's purpose would undoubtedly be to monitor Setuna.

There are a few things Zibel has to attack in order to get out of Gandhia, but one of them was a boy named Setuna Lars-Enjour.

I guess we'll monitor Setuna and explore even the weaknesses.
