Continental Hero Senki

You must have been stunned when the Imperial Army reached the vicinity of Puwotsk, where the Royal Army would form.

Because the Imperial Army ran into the Royal Army scouts a few days ago, and they read that the enemy must have shown a strong structure to intercept them, but when they tried to come, they were utterly defenseless, so to speak.

He doesn't drop bridges to prevent crossing the river, he's not releasing scouts, he's not concentrating his forces and building defensive positions. To the reality of the Royal Army, which merely appears to be stationed in the city of Pwozk, an army led by Lieutenant General Mikhalkov, who cuts ahead of the Imperial Army IV, stops his legs.

"... what is this all about? Or is this some kind of trap?

It is natural as a military man to take the obvious past enemy's demise as a trap. But that's the trap, and I guess I'm trying to buy some time by it... but I also think.

What Lieutenant General Mikhalkov, pressed by the ineffective choice, can do is, at best, form a large number of reconnaissance units and release them everywhere. But it is also suspicious how far we can go in winter.

"My lord, stopping your feet here is the enemy's thought. Whether or not the enemy has any plans, we know it's better to fight one battle first and then identify them."

"But what if we fall into the enemy's trap and suffer tremendous damage? This weather and these temperatures, they don't work easily, do they?

"That's the same thing as an enemy! Then it should be in our relative favor to outnumber the number!

The Legion's staff argue violently, but cannot draw conclusions.

Force reconnaissance or wait for the enemy to leave. That's where the debate ends, but we can't move on from there.

Even if it came to a conclusion, it wouldn't last again.

I don't care if you attack, how do you attack?

How long do we have to protect them?

The seemingly never-ending debate was decided with a single voice from the crane, on the table at the 18 December operational meeting.

Just that one voice wasn't that of Lieutenant General Mikhalkov.

---

16 December.

The report of the discovery of the Royal Army was brought under the Commander of the Imperial Army IV, General Vladimir Sirokov.

The report also described the formation of the Royal Army and the distress of Lieutenant General Mikhalkov, who led the advance line.

"He hasn't either. I am well aware of the markings of battle, but oddly weak"

That's what General Sirokov says when he reads the report and smiles. Because I know him so well, I can understand him so well.

"But this commander of the Royal Army, he says he has less power..., that's pretty daring. These are the kind of people that are needed in the military... Don't you think so, Staff?

"Ha? No, I don't think the military needs a human being who doesn't build a position or drop a bridge under these circumstances..."

To Sirokov's words, the suddenly spoken operational staff was perplexed in a double sense.

It is a perplexity that he was suddenly told the story, and what His Excellency is saying about why people like him who are not ready for anything are needed in the army.

Sirokov sighed whether he was relieved or disappointed again with that ultra-brue answer of the staff member. The expression is laughing, but I can't grasp its sincerity.

"You too."

"What?"

In the sense of a short question, the staff can't find an answer. In the first place, I don't even know if it's a question.

"Well fine. I don't know, let me tell you. The enemy commander Mikhalkov is confronting right now is excellent. I can't tell if this is the best hand... but if it's just about buying time and getting ready to do something, it's probably the best hand."

"... what do you mean?

"If they showed off their hands that they could clearly tell it was a trap, they'd be on their guard and stop their legs, wouldn't they? If that slows down the march, we'll get some prep time. Besides, the situation where many options are offered is hard for the outgoing commander. If you had one answer, you could choose it without hesitation, but if you had more than one, you'd need 'time to think', right?

"............ I see. I got good at it. So the enemy is deliberately offering us multiple means to try?"

"Trying, huh? I don't know if that's what you're planning... well, it's something similar."

That said, once again Sirokov looks at the map.

Imperial and Royal armies sandwiched and confronted by the river. The bridge hasn't been dropped, and the river surface is frozen, so if it's about a lightly dressed infantry, you might be able to walk over the river surface (I don't know if I need to get to the site for all this...).

Even if we do not cross the river, we can also think of operations that thoroughly cut the enemy's power and morale in a long range of sorcery warfare. But if the enemy had cleverly constructed the position, it would end with a waste of magic. What's troubling for the Imperial Army, which wants to contain wasted spending while supplies tend to lag behind in the winter.

Shilokov was troubled. I was as worried as Michalkov.

At the same time, however, it differs from Mikhalkov in that he is attacked by strange sensations.

"... that's fun. If only I'd been ahead of the line."

"What are you talking about, my lord?

"I'm just kidding."

Regardless, that was no joke.

It is irresistibly pleasant for Shilokov to read, or to read in depth, the intentions of the enemy and to think of the best hand to be taken by the Imperial Army out of the options presented.

Looking at the map for over an hour.

Sirokov drew conclusions faster than Michalkov. Immediate summary execution is the amount of instrumentation required of the commander, but I may have thought too much of it at this time on the boulder.

"... a decree!

"Ha."

"Contact Lieutenant General Mikhalkov." Fight against the enemy and see what they mean. "

"Ha. I'll get back to you immediately!

Corporal the commanding officer immediately rides and hurries to the front with the rest of his crew.

Looking at their backs, Shilokov exhales loudly and everywhere.

"... I regret my decision the other day. How come I didn't decide to march the whole army... or at least get ahead of myself? I knew the enemy was a good commander in the Battle of the Lake Region."

and.
