Continental Hero Senki

After we destroy the Baresh division until it's completely skinless, we'll be right behind the battlefield. It is the Silesians' bodies of war that make cleaning up a priority.

Because it does not enlighten us that the Kingdom of Silesia has intervened in the civil war. Well, the defeated soldier may return to base and report, but I'd still like to keep the evidence hidden wherever possible. Without evidence, there would be less chance that the testimony of the Decapitated will be taken away.

"So, how many casualties of war?

When I was working out my future policy with His Highness Emilia and Mr. Maya, Radek led the successor Heavy Soldiers unit to take command of the body recovery. You want to know exactly how many casualties of war there are and make sure there are no leaks.

"War Death 583, War Wound 1029"

"You had a lot less power than each other."

"I was planning on doing less."

Loss rate 15%. Well, the war wounded will mostly be able to return to the front if they return to Carbina for full healing magic. Thinking about it, the wear and tear rate is 5%, but I don't know because at the end of the day it was in the stubborn resistance of the enemy... what would have happened if that one had really broken through.

"So, how's it going?

"That's going well. 80% progress."

It was Maya who praised Radek first when she heard that.

"That's Radek. This kind of weird job is pretty quick."

"... are you complimenting that?

It's a compliment, isn't it?

No, it doesn't sound like a compliment, Mr. Maya. Either that or I'm being silly. Well, maybe she's serious about praising you.

In fact, this kind of work is quite helpful because Radek does it efficiently. That kind of talent is invaluable because it's pretty scarce. I have to take care of it.

"Hmm, should I go back to Carbina when the work is done?

Radek asked me that, but I couldn't answer instantly.

"... I was talking to Her Highness Emilia about that."

"You're not going back?

"Something's bothering me."

According to the stories of the royalists, there is the Fortress of Ormutz, the largest military base here from here to northwest. If we drop this place, the eastern part of the republic may become available to the royalists.

Because the Fortress of Ormutz is also a supply base that has taken on one hand the barracks of each of the nationalist garrisons in the eastern part of the Republic. In other words, when the Fortress of Ormutz falls, there will also be an exhaustive network of nationalist garrisons that rely on the fortress's barracks. This is huge.

And what we fought until just now was Major General Baresh's troops, who are also being treated heroically in the Republic. If it were to be devastated, wouldn't the confusion of the fortress be great? While that mess doesn't cool down, if we storm, we might win.

Then the question is, is the fortress's defense team?

"Your Highness Emilia, I have a report..."

And it was Mr. Fine, the information officer, who came. You're here at a good time.

"Ah, Mr. Feene. Can I have a word with you?

"? What is it, Major Yuzef"

"Do you have any information about Fortress Ormutz?

"... I just came to report on the matter"

Seriously, Mr. Feene, that's right.

"It's information from the prisoners. One division is currently stationed at the Ormutz Fortress as a defensive force, and the commander is with Major General Kudlerček. Learn more"

That being said, Ms Fine gives the report to Her Highness Emilia. I peek at that report from the side, too, but it looks like I've got quite a bit of information.

"... You used to talk so much. Ostmarc intelligence officers are brilliant and helpful."

"No, that's not... Besides, with this level of information, I was wondering if we could probably gather people from any country to do it."

"Really?

"Yep. Apparently, the nationalists are failing to educate their soldiers."

Mr. Fine says the nationalist soldiers are told to "die as long as they are captives". It's the kind of education I've heard somewhere, but they say something unexpected is happening because of it. That's the problem with "I didn't like being a prisoner and I wanted to die, but I don't know what to do if I survive some mistake and become a prisoner".

Be sure to be educated on what to do if you become an enemy prisoner if you are meant to be. Even in cadet school, I learned that, and I teach junior soldiers who have a better chance of being taken prisoner. Of course, that's why we can't block all the information, but it's possible to limit it somewhat.

But the nationalists just put up their psychology and forgot to educate them if they were taken prisoner. As a result,

"The prisoner spoke Bella Bella. If I give you a little compliment, it's fine."

and Mr. Feene said with a smile. Horrible. No, but if a beautiful girl like Mr. Feene praises you, doesn't anyone get gelded? Yeah, then there's no choice.

Either way, we were able to get some subtle information about Fortress Ormutz.

What we have now is a division commanded by His Highness Emilia, subtle information about the fortress, and prisoners.

"Use this prisoner to drop the fortress"

I gave Her Highness Emilia an overview of the offensive operation, but she had a slightly disturbing look on her face.

"... will you be all right? No, not that I don't trust Mr. Yuzef."

"Oh, no. Never mind. 'Cause I'm worried, too."

But it's worth a try.

Where we fail, it's not like we're going to suffer any damage. All you have to do is, "Ah, did I fail?" After that, all you have to do is go back to Carbina and think slowly about what to do.

By the way, I also tried to tell Sarah about this operation. These are the words I returned.

"I don't know, but what Yuzef thinks is going to succeed."

When people say this, they feel somewhat confident even if it's flattery.

"Can't you get in touch with Major General Baresh's troops?!?

1st December, 15: 30.

The Ormutz Fortress, the largest military stronghold in the eastern part of the Republic, was originally built by the Ostmarc Empire during the Livonia - Ostmarc war and has bounced back several times the attacks of the Union of Livonia Nobles. And placed under the control of the country's army with Carlsbert's independence, the Livonians have not stepped into this fortress for more than 100 years since.

And at present, the fortress of Ormutz, which is good to say such a difficult downfall, was at the extreme of confusion. Contacts with a division led by Major General Baresh cut off November 26 to the border.

If we consider that we are in a civil war, we can immediately assume that we are in contact with the enemy and in combat at the point of disconnection. But if you don't hear from me for five days, there's one chance you'll be left. That is, the Baresh Division has been wiped out.

But Major General Vartol Kudlerček, Commander of the Ormutz Fortress, could not accept the reasoning. Major General Baresh, who had been tasked with the future of the youngest republic, thought it was unlikely that he would be worried about the total annihilation without being able to afford to send a liaison when he was royalist, the weakest force in the country.

"Commander, this is a report from the 17th Cavalry Scout." Found massive carcasses and abandoned equipment in Flanitze. "

"Do you have any idea what the damage was to us or to our enemies?

"... no. It looks like our enemy's uniform was the same, and it's impossible to tell."

"Where's Major General Baresh?

"It's also unknown. But it looks like there were no bodies at the scene."

"Right..."

As for Kudler Chek, it was exactly the point of the idea.

One division stationed at the fortress has approximately 10,000 troops and considerable combat power. But you cannot leave the fortress without darkness without knowing the state of war. But if Baresh is still alive, and he's still fighting somewhere, we have to get reinforcements.

Balesh is one of the commanders trusted by Edvart Harha, the head of this country. I abandoned such a person, what would happen to me if General Harha told me to?

No, if it's just me, it's still good. I've left it in the capital, no, I don't know what happens to my own family being held hostage in the capital. If he were impeached by Harha as a traitor, wouldn't his family be in the same sight as the "witch trial" that happened the other day?

The fear had led Kudler Chek astray.

In the end Kudlerček was unable to make a decision and devoted himself to forming a further reconnaissance unit to try to gather information.

And the following December 2.

The information Kudler Chek had been waiting for came in.

"A few soldiers, who belonged to the Baresh Division, are back"

"A few...?

"Yes. It was quite debilitating, but I managed to regain consciousness, so I was able to get information. They belonged to a brigade commanded by Deputy Commander Brigadier General Trayval, but the brigade appears to have been besieged and surrendered by the enemy. They surrendered and escaped critically where they were about to be restrained by their enemies and seem to have returned so far"

"... well. So, what about Balesh?

"According to what the soldiers who escaped from the rebels have heard, they are currently surrounded by three enemy divisions in the mountains of Barenov, north of Flanitze"

"I see... I must thank them."

"My lord, how are you doing?

"... there are struggling allies right around the corner, I can't even leave them alone. We'll have to get backup soon."

This decision made by Kudlerček may have been a long way from what I said was tactics and strategy. In view of the circumstances in which he was placed, that would be inconvenient.

"Okay. So how many troops do you want to send out? If you give it too much, the fortress will be thinner..."

"Right. But there is no need to leave much behind. So the enemy is three divisions, huh?

"Yes."

"The reactionaries who name the royalists do not have a lot of fighting power. Sure, the three divisions were unexpected, but it wouldn't be possible for Carbina's economic power alone to feed any more military personnel"

"Then the enemy has little reserve power."

"That's the thing. Now the enemy is probably devoting all his efforts to beating the Baresh Division. Well, one battalion will protect you enough. I'm away... right, I'll leave it to Colonel Halbercek. Tell him so."

Copy that, sir.

Thus, at 1345 hours on 2 December, a defensive unit 9000 marched out of Fortress Ormutz under the command of Major General Kudlerček. It is impossible to confront three divisional opponents in one division, but he thought it was possible only if they ambushed the enemy forces and thereby lifted the siege and rescued Baresh.

But he may have forgotten that it was important to help Balesh. scrutinize the information that the escaped subordinates had.
