00288 Puppet War

“I'm not sure. First of all, there is absolutely no guarantee that the armory will be on the south bank. Also, the location of the armory will be treated as highly confidential. It is also unlikely that the Demon Prince will get that information. ”

Elizabeth's eyes darken.

“…… However, it is dangerous if the Demon Lord gets any information. The Demon Lord must be pretending to march on the Parisian chamber. Henrietta mustn't miss the Empress and Emperor. We must run to the Parisian chamber and secure the Empress and the Emperor's identity. ”

Worst case, when the armory was built in the same direction as where Parisian rooms are located. The path to where the Demon Prince is headed must be confused. But Elizabeth didn't say anything about the worst.

“If the food is lost, Henrietta must continue to retreat. There will be looting. The hatred for Brittany grows in an instant in the Frank Empire. No, maybe that's what Dantalian's after.... ”

“Mr. President, don't you know that the armory is in danger? ”

Yuria asked in an uneasy tone.

“I don't think you'll ever know. ”

Elizabeth sighs.

“The problem is that the Demon Lord's intentions are unknown. Maybe the Demon Prince is really after the Parisian room. Parisian or Military Depot? Unless we know for sure, Henrietta can't focus the troops in one place……. ”

Elizabeth ordered me to try to recover the crystal, just in case. Yuria sweats and tries to break through half-magic. Twenty minutes later, Yuria spoke in a dead voice.

“Mr. President. I'm sorry.... ”

“Can't you recover? ”

“Yes.”

Elizabeth sighs deeply. Recognizing the enemy's intentions late in the battlefield has sometimes come to a critical hit. If I noticed it a little sooner, the odds were significantly different. But it was impossible to tell from this side.

“It looks like the Wizard of the Seven Circles, or the Eight Circles, is leading the rebellion. For me... ”

“Would it be possible to mobilize a local magical cell? ”

“I'm sorry, but it's hard to mobilize all these magical batteries. It seems that not only the High Wizard, but more than 30 Horsemen are assisting him. ”

Elizabeth has saved the magical difference between the human and the magic.

Unlike the Knight, the Wizard lacked the means to raise him. Too much reliance on talent Nevertheless, for some reason, the fewer towers have moved north of Habsburg in recent years, and the Habsburg Republic has greatly weakened its magical power.

President Elizabeth was pitiful for a long time.

“No matter how fast we hurry, it takes more than five days to get to the Parisian room. By then, it would have already been settled in some way. Yuria, there's nothing we can do except wish us good luck... …. ”

“I'll speed up the march as much as I can. ”

If you continue to use restorative magic on your horse, you can save two days. It'll take three to four days. Elizabeth nods with a grip on the straw....

“You're attacking, Deputy Commander. ”

“Lord, is it fun to mock a girl? ”

Laura puffs her cheeks. It was so cute because it looked like a hamster.

“Of course. Laura is the funniest thing in the world. ”

“Really, the Lord.... ”

Laura grunts.

If there were others around, I would advise you to defend your position as deputy commander, but with the battle ahead, the commanders all return to their units. Laura and I are the only ones left in this barracks. Goblin messengers are waiting, but you can ignore them.

Normally, you wouldn't need to use a messenger to contact a Magic Crystal Ball. Currently, there is a wide range of communication disruption spells in the area. Gamekin climbs into the Wyvern himself and casts anti-magic in the air. Enemies and allies can't communicate with magic.

The purpose of disrupting communication is disruption. The fact that we lost contact with the outside makes Humans anxious. How much more psychological pressure would a human be under if he were to lead 30,000 troops and be responsible for the fate of his country?

I looked up at the rapidly approaching Brittany army from the front.

“The torch seems to have brought the whole army with it. Whether to say great or bold. I should have prepared an ambush. ”

“Lord, you've got to be kidding me. If we prepare a small group of ambushes, we will be wiped out by the Demon King Agares. We can't even buy time. ”

“What if we set up an ambush with more than just work? ”

“Then we shall face a single blow from the Brittany Knights with just a few men. Even though the Lord has been devastated in the Knights far fewer times than the girl remembers. Are you confident?”

I shrug. Laura could not have defeated me.

“I know. I have no choice but to leave it to Barbato from now on. ”

“I admire you, Baron Barbato, but the role of Baron Bercy is also important. I hope you can be on time. ”

Our army has not moved for more than a full day. But the army didn't move, and it was more busy than ever.

Laura speaks when she sees the Brittany squashed.

‘We don't fight. ’

What a relief it is. I'm willing to fight this side no matter what. Laura realizes that her opponent is eager for a short-term fight and decides to use it against her.

She first searched the military depot of the Brittanys. It has already been confirmed that there is no armory in Paris. It was thanks to Frank's nobles' persistent confidentiality.

There is no armory in Paris. Then the remaining candidates were fortresses in the vicinity of the islands...... The problem was that there were 17 small and large fortresses near Parisian rooms. I couldn't conquer that many fortresses by myself.

A day later, Laura looks at the enemy camp and says,

‘They're transporting the munitions to the ship. The armory is located by the river. State troops, how many fortresses are on the river. ’

"Six. Well, obviously, the number of cases has decreased. ’

Laura frowned as I smiled, satisfied.

‘There are still six of them. Consider a fortress on the south bank, not on the north bank. ’

‘If you do that, it will decrease to four places...... But why the south? ’

Laura is speechless.

‘Our troops have attacked from the north of Habsburg. We'll have to march north on Parisian space. Would the Lord put the armory on the approaching side or the armory on the opposite side? ’

It was as he said.

The candidate was quickly reduced from 17 to four. I asked Bathago to release the water spirit. I was about to go after the ship and retrace the armory. Queen Henrietta, however, led the charge.

The tankers didn't dock anywhere else. From the fortress upstream to the fortress downstream, the ships docked in turn and flew things. I disguised myself as if I didn't know what it was. Only one of you really carries food.

Now I had to check it out myself, so I gave my opinion.

‘Let's ambush them with spirits. ’

Laura shakes her head.

‘Impossible. In the event of a commotion, it is known to the enemy that we are looking for a depot. They must not know our intentions to the end. Hmm. Master really doesn't have the talent for combat. ’

‘…… If I can't check it myself, how do I find the depot? You're just gonna shoot it? "

‘Be imaginative, Lord. ’

Laura grins. It was a sinister smile like a villain.

‘We don't have to find out. ’

"Yes?"

‘The Brittany will tell us where the armory is. ’

What are you talking about? When I asked her a question, Laura confidently replied, watching and knowing.

Time has passed.

In the meantime, our army has been living in the Brittany army's villa. In the north-eastern part of Frank, a "safety tax" was sent to the military under the name, and the number was taken by the enemy in the middle because he was unfamiliar with the geography. The Starfleet was only made up of genuine knights and could not be covered by a few escorts.

There was a limit to what we could do with our own food. Laura orders you to supply the timber from the forest, and with it you start fortifying your camp. Apparently, he was preparing for a long war.

In the end, Brother Veled exploded without patience.

‘Hey, Deputy Commander. ’

Meeting time. Brother Veled jumps up and down. When the gaze on the left became focused, Veled stared at Laura directly.

‘Even if you are the lover of President Barbato and Dantalian, I must say something. Are you crazy?'

Laura looks at you with a heavy gaze.

‘I'm always proud to stay sane. General Veled.’

"Huh. The children of Brittany are raiding our supply corridors." I won't stop you from putting up a long war, but you don't know it, but we can't fight without food. ’

Brother Veled growls. He was the most fiercely opposed to being commanded by Humans in the first place. If it weren't for Barbatos, he would have started a rebellion in the first place.

"Increase the escort force or else we'll have to destroy the enemy army before we run out of food." But the vice commander lady said to learn the trees peacefully and build a scaffold. No matter how much I think about it, she just seems to be stuck like a coward because she's afraid to fight them. ’

‘…… haha. ’

Barbato sighs, sitting over there. However, Brother Veled did not shut down.

‘X.O. Lady. Explain something to me. I warn you, if I don't get a plausible answer, I'm just going to lead my troops on an assault. If you get scared, add an escort to the supply line immediately. ’

"Not available, General Veled. ’

Laura clamps her hands together.

‘The supply lines must be looted. ’

‘...... I think the young lady said she was sane earlier. Maybe I heard wrong because my ears are ringing. ’

‘I heard you correctly. The headquarters is sane.’

Bellet's expression distorted.

So you want me to fight a long war while we run out of food? Hey, lady. I don't think one of us should be discussing illness. And I keep thinking, for some reason, she should keep her mouth shut. ’

"Weapons are relative. ’

Laura relaxed and smiled.

‘Even if we only have a week's supply, if we only have one day's supply of the enemy, we are victorious. Friends only need more firepower than enemies. ’

That's what this is about! They keep supplying us with food to the river, and we're fucked on the ground! ’

Brother Veled lost his job. Laura's expression on Laura's face did not change, even though she must have lived through the entire life of the High Demon King. She said quietly.

‘The Brittany are in a divergence. It's blocked for us. In other words, they are not supplied by land. ’

‘…… for some reason. ’

‘The headquarters will ask questions here. General Veled, the Brittany army's home base has plundered our food. ’

Laura's jaw slithers.

‘Where will they take their plundered food? ’

Someone shouted elastically. Looking back, it was Pymon. Pymon shouts, covering his mouth with debt.

‘I'm going to the armory. Gather there and resupply! ’

That's right, Captain Pymon. The Starfleet will stockpile the looted food to the warehouse. So instead of allowing looting, the headquarters tracked the rear of the annex. ’

Laura looks at Veled.

‘We have located the fortress where the armory is already located. All we have left is to burn that fortress down. General Veled.As you can see, the headquarters is sane. ’

‘ ……. ’

‘The headquarters loves brave soldiers. General Veled seems to be burning up because he wants to fight right now, so he will give you the most intense fight in particular. Please deal with the Demon King Agares. This is the traitor Agares.This will be a joyful battle. ’

Brother Veled's face turned blue.

Laura smiles widely. Just by looking at the smiling face, I was like a pure angel. Of course, coming out of his mouth was a death sentence.

‘I don't believe you will. General.’
