The first thing the Meisel Cavalry, which succeeded in establishing a temporary base within the imperial territory, did was rest. The soldier's fatigue was so great that he could not immediately move on to reconnaissance operations, as he moved from the previous evening on an insomniac rest.

Lieutenant Colonel Meisel gave the soldiers time to take turns and focus first on restoring their health.

And almost every soldier's rest ended at 10: 15 AM, which was a lot higher. Back and forth, Miesel conducted a perimeter reconnaissance and searched for an Imperial Army rear base. He expected the reconnaissance to take more than three days, but the prediction was greatly betrayed.

That's 4: 10pm the same day. Because they discovered what appears to be an Imperial Army supply base.

The location was currently half a day's distance from the temporary base set up by the Meisel Cavalry on the foot of the infantry northeast and three days from Fort Tartak.

"That's pretty quick...... So, what's the size of the base?

"Depending on reports from the reconnaissance unit, it's pretty massive. The total quantity of supplies and food temporarily stored is an amount estimated to allow 10 divisions to act for a month"

"The power of the boulder empire," I said.

"Yes, but security is thin compared to the amount of supplies stored. The soldiers in the garrison are probably about one battalion to one regiment."

"Hmm..."

This Imperial Army supply base was much larger than anticipated beforehand, and it would have been surprising for the ops planners to have enough supplies for a month for 10 divisions, that is, food to feed just over 20 Imperial Army divisions deploying to Atheni for two weeks. Well, the surprise of the head of the unit who was running that operation is immeasurable.

And because I didn't think it was such a massive base, I underestimated the enemy's power. Indeed, the reconnaissance unit is right, given the quantity of supplies, there is less security. But still, the total number of Meisel cavalry is only 300, and assuming the enemy is around 2000, my battle power difference is huge.

In a normal assault, you probably can't get fat.

"Then again, ambush is the best"

That's what Meisel concluded, but this is as originally planned, because not all 300 cavalry members have any other method of attack than an ambush. The problem becomes the method of ambush.

Miesel asked Sarah, who stood beside her, for her opinion.

I don't know what to do, Captain.

"... right. As far as I'm concerned, I propose an ambush."

"Not a night raid?

"Yes. Nights are poorly visible and difficult to distinguish between enemy allies. But in the morning, if it's just before sunrise, you don't have to worry about this. Besides, it's around 4am when the sky starts to whiten this time of year. There won't be so many soldiers awake in that time."

"In other words, if we ambush at that time, the majority of our enemies will be asleep just as they were during the night raid, and we will not be confused by the chain of command by making it easier to identify enemy allies as we did during the day attack. So you're saying?

"My Lord Left."

Sarah's response was confident. Because this was suggested by Emilia.

That was June 9 when Emilia said when she was working in Carinino to raise supplies: "It would be better just before sunrise when attacking the stronghold". The reason is entirely the same as what Sarah said earlier, that is, the form in which Emilia's opinion was plagiarized as it was.

But Sarah didn't realize at this point that it was Emilia's ploy to "at least let Sarah put up a martial arts medal".

Regardless, there's no way Miesel would have known that, she made further improvements to her opinion. It will be apparent after about 12 hours what the proposed improvements have produced.

Meanwhile, Major General Sergei Romanov, the Crown Prince's nephew, leads the Imperial Army 3000 stationed at the Valavillier Supply Base, a reconnaissance unit of the Meisel Cavalry reported.

He had halfway relinquished his "missionary" assignment from Marshal Bakunin. That's because his cavalry unit was pulled out by Bakunin, so they have to go under the reserve division, which is far away on foot. "It's a matter of walking, so even if the date of the decree is around a few days, that's what we can do," he said, judging that the troops were taking a break at this Valavillier supply base for a few days.

But that, too, was certain that he felt it was time to limit himself. He also decided to leave tomorrow and communicate his orders for input into the reserve force to the troops.

But under that Sergei, there was an incredible report from his best friend Kreutzer on June 11 at 5: 35 pm.

"... an unidentified cavalry?

"Yes. He said he saw a heavy soldier on the road heading to Fort Tartak last night. At that time, he thought he was on his side and ignored it, but he checked with his friends who were camping along the way and said," I haven't seen any troops like that. "

"That's odd. Surely the cavalry hasn't arrived here today, has it?

"Yes, but there were reports that it was inconceivable that he was an enemy. If you're an enemy, you're supposed to take covert action, but you can clearly hear the sound of a hoof trampling and razing the soil."

"… is it possible to say that it is the trap that illuminates us"

"Yep. But even if it's an enemy, there are a few things I'm not convinced of. How did you get here?"

The point Kreutzer made is almost identical to what the Royal Army High Counsel, Major Emilia, said on 27 May during the operational meeting. Kreutzer enumerated a number of incredible points, such as the fact that the line of action is too long and, consequently, the problem of replenishment. On top of that, he also concluded that this was not the enemy.

But Sergei ignored his prophecy and calmly accepted reality.

"When faced with a reality that conflicts with theory, it is the reality that should be valued. Because at a certain point in time, the theory is wrong with the conflicting reality."

"That's right...... So how did the enemy get so far...?

"No, now is not the time to argue about it. What we need to do now is what we need to do with this enemy."

"Do you want us to form a reconnaissance team immediately and let them search the perimeter?

"No. Even if you look now, the night will come before you find it any time soon. And because of Bakunin's asshole, we don't have a scout cavalry."

It's not like I can't scout with an infantry. It's just that the infantry is slow on its feet, so it's useless in a situation where you want to do reconnaissance as quickly as you do now. If we can't do any more reconnaissance than we know the size of the enemy, it can also lead to the spread of power and the destruction of each of them.

If so, the choice Sergei should take is to concentrate his forces of war and to fully defend his rear base.

"Perhaps there will be an ambush tonight... where do you think the enemy will come from?

"Heavy Corps reports that the cavalry group was on their right, or west,"

"Then the enemy raids from the west. The formula is very high, huh? All right. Let's get him ready for defense right away. Put the main force to the west to intercept the cavalry that would come from the west. Don't fail to be vigilant while taking a break."

"Ha!"

Thus Valavillier's defensive posture came to be built against the expectations of the Royal Army.

But Sergei also kept waiting for the arrival of the Royal Army at unexpected lengths.
