You never dreamed it would be like staring at a map in the middle of the night for a dark cup of coffee.

With a bitter laugh, I lit the pipe on the candlestick at the table.

Communication arrived about twice after Sandra and the others opened the end of the battle. Apparently it's been glued since they hit it big once.

Still, Mr. Uyle's flanking attacks continue, so I guess the war situation will be our advantage.

If you're holding back three battalions, the number of troops attacking Yolem will be four. If it were close to the same number, it would be in the defence's favor, so Yolem's borders would have become glued as well.

If this is the state, it seems best to detour squadron-sized troops around the west to attack the western side of Yolem, but they still don't seem to take the measures.

Is Carmesia in the west such a troublesome land? Or is the Carmesian army troublesome......

We have to wait for Mr. Lady to investigate this. So far, I can't help but be convinced that I'm not thinking about going around the west.

In this state, you're going to have the same ending as the previous battle.

I don't know where you're taking the overall command of the Warram Royal Army, but it just seems certain that it's not on the front line.

I should inform you that the east side has been frustrated and try to review the operation as soon as possible...

When the footsteps interrupted in front of the door, the door opened rampantly and the correspondents began reporting on the spot.

"This is a communication from Master Sandra." The enemy is retreating. However, there are many kinds of burning fire ahead of us. "

"Got it. Send a message to Lord Sandra." Rest half the men guarding the fence and keep waiting. "

Drop off a telecommuter leaving in honor of his knight.

That's a clear plan. This is one of the Empty Castle's plans. I guess I increased the number of incendiaries so they wouldn't understand the number of troops. That said, it is troublesome when you can hang the back, so half of the soldiers will be allowed to rest. If the night has dawned, you should look at the situation and reduce it even further.

In that case, the main force behind our attack is going to be the Horse Riders.

Mr. Zaylus and the others will arrive tomorrow, so we can make a full-scale rear assault.

When the thin light arrived, Mr. Sandra came in again.

Apparently, there are only about two squadrons of enemy troops west of the border that Sandra and the others guard.

Send word to Mr. Sandra to come back here and give instructions to Torresti's lightweight unit to rest their troops as well.

There should be no sending three battalion sizes, even if they can be dispersed at night and move troops.

After all, will we go with the power of a central breakthrough?

Mr. Lady will be moving tonight, too, so I'm looking forward to seeing how the Warham army reacts.

Tell the soldiers to deliver their meals and get breakfast a little early.

"Lie down for a while. Wake me up after lunch. Mr. Sandra and Mr. Zairas should be here by dusk. Mr. Wyle and the others will be back, so get us some wine."

When I tell my soldiers that, I drag them to the garrison's own room and lie down.

That's the problem with irregular sleep. Sleeping seems important in battle when you can sleep.

I woke up, so I looked out the window.

It's still bright, but the way I handed it over that day, it feels like it's almost dusk.

Hurry up and wash your face by going out to the well.

From the kitchen car, it smells good. Sounds like you can expect dinner.

Upon entering the command post, Sandra and the others have two mobile infantry captains. I panicked and took a seat because I came in.

"Please sit down. It doesn't make much sense to me."

In those words, you sat in my seat with all due respect to me.

When I got to my seat and lit the pipe fire, the soldiers brought me coffee. A sip of it thankfully looked at their faces.

"Thank you for your hard work. In the meantime, the next time you invade, it won't be three battalions."

"The air moat and the earth base, plus the triple fence worked well - no enemy soldiers crossed the earth base in two assaults"

He's the one who needs to be ready. More than that dirt base should be built on the northern border of Yotern. A soldier who dies from a force attack will continue.

"Rest for a while. Mobile infantry is an attacking unit, but it has too many enemies. I'm going to ask the horseback riders to do their best next time."

"We've already given you a break. So, what's the situation?

I was to teach the two mobile infantry unit leaders a brief description of the situation while showing the pawn on the map.

Teaching other people can also be helpful in organizing the information you know.

In the meantime, it would still be natural for the two of us to have doubts about not thinking about moving troops around the west.

"After all, are you afraid of the Carmesian Horse Riders?

Sephie spoke up after listening to me.

Carmesia is a kingdom founded by nomads. Would the mainstream of the army be horseback riding if it were?

"The mercenary regiment of the Divine Empire and my father used to be cordial, but that's when I heard about the Carmesian horse riding squad. Bravery and courage are past that. That's a bunch of black wolves..."

That's an interesting story. To say that, it seems likely that the Kingdom of Warham has once set things up with Carmesia.

Am I going to tell you I've had a terrible defeat?

Perhaps that is why we are not reaching out to Carmesia in this series of invasions of other countries.

In this map, the former Kingdom of Libram, the former empire of God, and the kingdom that borders Yolem, the eastern border is well drawn, but the western border is drawn in dotted lines.

It's a little bigger than we thought, isn't it?

A well-drawn border may be designed to prevent horseback riding from entering in a well-maintained earth base or open moat.

I have heard that cavalry down from horses is a good prey for light infantry.

I can see a little.

It must be said that the protection of the west of Yolem is stricter than that of the north. I guess it digs deeper into the open moat and a higher earth base is built.

One squadron could easily stop a battalion in a place like that.

So I guess they want to do a side attack on Yotern from Torresti.

When that happens, don't even come up with the need to review the current air moat and earth base where this battle has come to a paragraph. It's going to be quite a hassle if the horseback riding nation wins.

Let the Kingdom of Warham act as a buffer zone.

Just before dusk, Mr. Uyle and Mr. Rick entered the command post.

I thought it would come with a tired look, and it gives me a lively look. I guess that means I could flirt with enough enemies.

"Are the Zairas still coming? The war in the north must be boring..."

Soon as I settle my hips with dokali in my seat, I turn that question to me.

"You'll be sure by the end of the night. They might invite Mr. Lexus and the others."

"If you don't come soon, we'll be the only ones who can finish this."

I'm telling you, drinking wine sounds delicious, but you're a little worried too.

"By the way, do you still have a spare arrow?

"It's for one more tournament. I'm waiting for a spare arrow that Zairas and the others will bring..."

"Heavy troops are not here yet, are they? The next load should have a long bow arrow."

Mr. Rick also looks at me with a worried look on his face.

I had assumed a line of defense, so I'm pretty sure I didn't expect to consume more arrows.

Even Mr. Zairas, it's hard to imagine bringing so many spares. It must have been scattered in Warham's own country. Naturally, the arrow must have also been severely drained.

If it's for short bows, I can hunt arrows, but the Warham Army doesn't use long bows...

"Tell Torresti and the Royal Palace of Crabble to send an arrow for the long bow as soon as possible. The next battle, the number of arrows is going to win or lose."

The soldiers left the command post in a hurry. I don't expect to arrive immediately, but it must arrive plenty in a few days.

"Lord Banter doesn't think about hitting enemies in a bow unexpected way?

"I'm keeping you all. If you return to your country as intact as possible, you may be attacked by Sylvania."

Answer Mr. Wyle's question and he's laughing.

Being an outside commander seems to have shown me that there are limitations.

"So this is not a battle for the survival of our kingdom. It will be in the future, but it is true that the situation is not one of unsolicited support for Yolem."

"Well, that's also true, so the kind of battle that cuts back on your country's forces is out of the question. Let's go in the position of getting in the way of the Yolem invasion."

Someone at the table is whining that it's a fight like a prank kid, but that's the truth. I'll get you out of the way whenever I can. I wish I had that idea.

Suddenly the command post door opened and Mr. Zairas and Mr. Lexus came in.

Sit in your seat and sip the wine the soldiers brought to you and turn to me.

"I was stunned because I suddenly told you to come over, but you had a painful hand wound?

"Not really. So far, most of them have minor injuries. They are also the ones who frustrated their legs as they descended from the horse, so I can't believe it... The number of opponents is high. We're not alone."

Mr. Wyle explains it to me instead. We're like best friends to each other, so I'll leave this place to you.

"One battalion of my troops. Lord Lexus has two squadrons. Is that enough for you?

"That's up to our commander, isn't it?

Everyone at the table turns to me. I can't wait to get out of here.

If I say rest for a while, they're going to beat me up.

"If it's two battalions, it won't be a problem. Looks like you could use Mr. Lexus' troops for a little prank."

I decided to move two pawns arranged on the map of the table and start describing the operation.

Poking behind the enemy with two battalions is as originally planned. However, Mr. Lexus' troops move heavily west through the old empire of God, poking west of the front.

"Mr. Zairas, please attack this afternoon. Mr. Lexus will be asked to aim at dusk, but then leave west and head north along the western border. You can't go inside Carmesian territory. The battle could expand."

Mr. Lexus is nodding with a strange face.

This would reduce the pressure on Yolem a little bit. You won't know the result unless it's tomorrow night.
