Dungeon Defense (WN)

* * *

Rumor has it the Anatolia Empire is sending 200,000 troops and 300,000 troops.

Even so, there must be too many 300,000. Two hundred thousand, if you can squeeze as hard as you can. It would have been dispatched not all at once, but several times. Well, as always, you have to face war firsthand. It was a placenta when I saw it with my own eyes.

“Our strategy is to capture ports. ”

I've summoned the top commanders to explain the operation.

“The Republics are not great enemies by number alone. The enemy's main force is the Anatolian Empire. But the Anatolians have no choice but to cross the sea. If we take the major ports on the coast, we can't send the militia if we want to. ”

The Demon Kings nod. It was a fairly natural story.

“― I'm sure the Republican Army will think so too. ”

But I overturned my own words.

I smiled.

“We leave the ports alone first. ”

Opening.

I accidentally came up with that word in my head. From now on, war has begun.

War was not just a "knowledgeable fight" for Elizabeth or someone like me. In fact, there was a fierce struggle between us long before the battle began. In that sense, war was my opening statement now.

“Leave the ports alone? Why?”

“Using the knowledge between the Republic and Anatolia. ”

Dark barracks.

The Demon Kings, each of whom is a living witness of history, looked at this side with a serious look. Everyone was relaxed, but the air in the barracks was choking because of the relaxation. It was not a place where nonsense was allowed to pop up.

“Enemies have great weaknesses. The Anatolian Empire is too heavily armed. ”

“A lot of history, so many weaknesses. Is it because of the mass? ”

“Weapons are also weapons, but they are more intrinsic and worse. Immediately……. ”

* * *

“There are too few of us compared to Anatolia. ”

Elizabeth said.

All the heads of the Republic's military gathered in the Operations Conference Room. Kurz Schlairmacher, Charles Richhofen, the Crisis Squad Leader, Maximilian Vitemier...... were each filled with great men who could command the battlefield.

“The more troops of Anatolia land, the less likely our republic army will be. In Anatolia, they want to take control of the operation. Eventually, we will become Anatolia's servants. ”

At least on the surface, the Republic opens its hands to Anatolia.

If Anatolia abandoned the Republic, the war would end there. It was an alliance, but one side had to be drawn to the other.

“If the enemy is focused on the port cities, we are good. If the Anatolians are struggling to land, our military's right to speak will be increased if they are already at war. But……. ”

Elizabeth smiles.

“Dantalian couldn't have known this. ”

She continues in a confident tone.

“Dantalian will lead us into an argument with Anatolia. Let the cities on the coast be abandoned first, and then the Anatolians will have to land soon enough to make their move. Any questions so far? ”

“Mr. President. ”

Kurzschleigh raises his hand carefully. He was still a pretty face.

“You mean they let Anatolia's troops cross the sea on purpose? ”

“Yes.”

“But that's kind of the quintessential example of a catchment room. ”

Kurzschlairmaza said:

“Two hundred thousand. Half a million of them. 100,000 will serve as the decisive variable in this war. Even if the enemy wants to divide us, it's unlikely they'll be able to bear the risk of a hundred thousand. ”

“Of course, if they're aiming to win the war. ”

Elizabeth's jaw gently rises.

“But their goal is not to win. ”

“Yes?”

“Gentlemen, the purpose of Dantalian is not to win the war, but to defeat me. ”

The president's voice rang out in the conference room.

“Suppose you only won the war with the full help of Anatolia, for example. Victory is victory, but what of the fate of our republic? At best, it will be the satellite state of Anatolia. ”

“Of course...... We don't need to win the war, we just need to crush ourselves. ”

Elizabeth nods.

“The purpose of the strategy is different. Dantalian is not afraid of Anatolia. Only to myself, to the Republic. ”

“ ……. ”

A misleading and arrogant comment.

However, there was a compulsion in Elizabeth's voice that made people really believe. There was actually a total of one. In the last two fireworks wars, Elizabeth saw right through Dantalian's intentions.

“The question is, in what cases do we put ourselves in the most trouble?" The Dantalians must be coming in with a strategy like that. If you think about it a little, the answer will be.... ”

* * *

“Surround the harbor city? ”

“Yes, the total siege is correct. ”

I pointed my staff at the map. The good thing about being a one-legged man was that he didn't have to carry a non-exhaustive staff with him. It was a small black jock.

“Capture the rest of the coastline, except for the largest port city. There is only one Node for the 100,000 units to land. ”

“The prime minister city of Venice. ”

Marvas says I nod.

“Our strategy is: First, clear the coastline, and quickly surround Venice. Establishes a strong foothold that keeps the Anatolians stationed in Venice. ”

Marvas narrows his eyes. It seemed that my intentions had not yet been caught.

“The Anatolians won't want to break through our siege anytime soon. They know that it's almost suicide in the field to face the Demon Prince. To increase the odds a bit, the Anatolians will ask the Republic. Attack the rear of the siege net. ”

Yes, it is.

Anatolia will take the front and the Republic will take the rear. If you hit back and forth simultaneously, the Anatolians will decide that you will win the battle.

“This means that the Republic gets its ankles, whether it wants to or not. ”

“…… I see. How to anticipate the full course of action by the Republic troops. ”

Marvas slowly grips his chin.

“Moreover, the Republic will be stripped of all control of the operation by Anatolia. We must move in strict accordance with Anatolia's demands. It must be hard for President Elizabeth to want to lead the country on her own. ”

So, and I said,

“President Elizabeth will not devote herself to saving Venice. If you take the entire army to Venice, Anatolia's command will be consumed. But I can see Anatolia's awareness that she won't send any cheerleaders at all...... There is only one answer. ”

In such a situation there will be limited number of options available to Elizabeth.

I looked around the eyes of the Demon Kings. My voice sank into the dark barracks.

“A bilateral war.”

* * *

“We divide our forces. ”

Elizabeth glances at the headman.

“We have 45,000 troops borrowing 30,000. Send the cavalry to Venice. However, do not fall for Anatolia's persuasion and attack the siege. I'm just trying to help. ”

Elizabeth points her finger at the map unfolded on the corner table. Her green eyes glance down at the map.

“The remaining 15,000 remain in the name of defending the country. And wait.”

“Waiting. What are you waiting for, Mr. President? ”

“Isn't it obvious? Waiting for the Dantalians to come. ”

Elizabeth insists.

“It is clear that Dantalian will divide his forces and use most of his forces against the siege of Venice. And I came here to set up a separate party. They will march on the capital of our Republic. ”

Elizabeth taps her chest. It was where the heart was located.

“From Dantalian's perspective, it's as if you're the only one who can succeed. I'm sure he'll attack with the best honor. We also need to respond as Elite Soldiers.? 32044;" 25720; "28500;" The muzzle shot. ”

“Yes, Mr. President. ”

The gray-haired young man stood up. It was Maximilian Vitemier, called the sleepless sensation.

“I leave you with group 1 consisting of 30,000. Work appropriately with Anatolia to surround the Demon King's base. Your only objective is to hold the enemy's ankle. ”

“I will take orders from you. ”

“Captain Schlairmacher. ”

Kurzschleigh gets up to speed. However, Kurzschleighmacher's body movements have not lost their sense of humor.

“Yes, Mr. President. ”

“You and Master Lichhofen will be in charge of 15,000 Group II with me. ”

“I will lay down my life to follow orders. ”

“I'm not kidding. ”

Elizabeth grins.

“There will come a moment when you really have to give your life. Several times. ”

“…… I'm excited about that. ”

Kurzschleighmacher's back was frozen. President Elizabeth smiled, but the truth was in her eyes.

You have a very high chance of dying. Such an intuition struck Kurz's brain. Will I die an unmarried old man...? Kurz was bitter, but he took it for granted at the same time.

“Gentlemen, leave Dantalian alone. We have the same goal. If we catch the Demon King Dantalian, this war is our victory. Conflict with each other best prepared. ”

Elizabeth looks around the crowd.

“I'll put an end to the long story. ”

* * *

“Leave Elizabeth alone. ”

I smiled faintly.

“Obviously, our role model is to tie our feet. But the enemy is in the same situation. Anatolia's military and Republican bases are indescribably trapped in Venice, wasting time. The gap between me and Duke Laura de Farnese set the Republic's capital ablaze. ”

That is, divide the army in two.

I didn't need a reason to draw a long war. We march on the capital of the Republic in no time. Retrieve Barbato and capture Daisy. It's a fast rope.

“Lord Marvas. With all due respect, sir, I'd like you to take over Group 1. If Anatolia and the Republic unite, that force will reach 150,000 waters. Among them, only Lord Marvas can handle such an army. ”

“I will gladly accept my role. ”

I bowed my head in gratitude.

“This war will be a decisive battle. Is President Elizabeth dying or am I dying? There is only one possibility. ”

“Dantalian. Which do you think is more likely?" ”

I smiled.

“I don't remember giving permission to the Empire to say the word defeat. ”

It was at the end of May.

I led 15,000 Helvetica mercenaries along with Laura. The legion was called the Second Legion, but the entire Demon Army knew that the future of war was at stake here.

Destination is Munich.

Needless to say, it was the capital of the Habsburg Republic.
