Continental power, June 7, 1513.

Our Habsburg Empire marched to the capital of the Republic with 15,000 troops. There was nowhere to rush. Despite being separated from the centre of the enemy, the soldiers do not lose their cool.

“By the way, the Republican president leaves the ogre alone. If you run a small number of Knights, you can effectively repel Ogres. ”

“I'm trying to save as much as I can from the Knights. ”

Laura and I move our horses side-by-side.

My horse had a special saddle, but thanks to it, I was able to ride a horse with my left foot replaced with a prosthetic leg. Even though I didn't order it, the Dwarves made it. Dwarves are really good with their hands.

“Compared only to the strength of our soldiers, our armies dominate the Republic. Even though the Republican army has been trained under Elizabeth as a strong force, this is the veteran mercenary who has been on the battlefield for decades...... it cannot be matched. ”

That's why Elizabeth wants to preserve the Knights' forces even more.

He said he would hunt 200 Ogres and that dispatching the Knights would make his navel bigger than his ship. Even though the villagers have suffered a great deal, they save the Knights for the final battle. That was Elizabeth's decision.

“Are you stockpiling everything for the final battle? After all, the President of the Republic is a hypocrite. I allowed the ogre to trample the farmland of the people at will. He's not a great guy. ”

“Well, you've read this side of the story. It's a bit of a waste.”

I actually unleashed the ogre to draw out the enemy's knights. You definitely needed a knight to deal with something as powerful as an ogre. Maybe I wanted to get caught in the lure, but I didn't. Well, it was a clear trap. It was strange for Elizabeth to get caught....

As a result, we were uninterrupted.

I plundered the nearby farmhouse and moved on slowly. The farmers were in a hurry to escape, and there was plenty of food left in the town's Ration Depot. Thanks to this, our army experienced a strange phenomenon where the more we march, the more food we get.

Finally, June 12th.

The capital of the Republic of Habsburg is just outside Munich.

Laura scouts with a handful of escorts, as she always does. It was quite reckless for the commander of the whole army to patrol, but that was Laura's way.

Unlike the others, Laura encounters enemy dispatch during reconnaissance. If the Separatists were to invade, their lives would be in danger. But Laura ordered without blinking an eye.

“Attack!”

Only twenty horsemen left to charge. The Republic dispatch forces were rather surprised and hurriedly turned their horses and fled. He must have escaped before he realized there were only 20 soldiers on this side.

“You're in great danger. How's that?" Do you want to go home today? ”

“No. Perfect timing. There won't be any enemies wandering around here for a while, so I'll scout the area. ”

So Laura took four hours to relax and explore the surrounding area. What looked pretty had a heart made of steel. I followed Laura behind with a bitter smile.

“Tsk. You've prepared well. ”

Laura looks out over the plain and kicks her tongue. There were a great number of Republican troops. The blue and white flags that symbolize the Republic fluttered enormously.

“Even if you look closely, your troops will give you 20,000. 23,000, 4,000, something like that. There are definitely more numbers than our troops. ”

“Strange. I couldn't have left that much behind.... ”

Forty-five thousand troops in the Republic.

Among them were 30,000 troops sent to Venice. It was scouted with Gamigine's Wyvern troops. At present, the remaining troops in the Republic could not surpass 17,000.

Did Elizabeth cast some kind of spell? She could have done anything, but suddenly it seemed difficult to create five thousand troops. When I tilted my head, Laura said, "Hmm."

“There's no answer if you think about it here. Let's go.”

“I've been there. Where? ”

“Isn't it obvious? ”

Laura swings her margopi lightly.

“Hostiles.”

And Laura is running towards the enemy with a great warhorse.

The cavalry surprised me. I urgently called out Laura's name, but she was speechless. We had no choice but to follow Laura.

Laura stops at just the center of the plain. Using a telescope, it was close enough to the enemy camp to see the faces of the Republican soldiers. I could see the hostiles making a fuss about finding us.

“Laura, it's nice to be bold, but you're being so careless! ”

“Ah. I'm sorry, Lord. ”

Laura apologized in a manner that she wasn't sorry at all. He didn't even look at me. Laura is unable to concentrate on examining the enemy camp with her telescope. A moment later, Laura grins.

“I see. I know the enemy's tricks. ”

“Really?"

“See for yourself, Lord. ”

Laura gave me the telescope. I took a telescope to the right eye and looked around at the seriousness of the Republic.

It was time for lunch that the Republican soldiers gathered and ate bread. There were about ten soldiers gathering to eat, and about twenty or thirty soldiers gathering to eat. Among them, many people looked at us strangely for appearing in the plain suddenly.

“Did you notice?”

“No. I don't see anything unusual. ”

“The Lord really has no qualities of war. What do they do with their eyes open? ”

Laura snorts. I folded the telescope and punched Laura in the forehead with beans and a weak punch.

“It's better than Laura, who has no qualities beyond war. So what's wrong with that? ”

“The number of soldiers eating food. It's not a certain number of soldiers gathering to eat, it's ten, twenty, thirty, and the numbers are scrambled. That's the trick. ”

“Ha.”

What's wrong with the number of people eating?

Laura shakes her head, looking back at me with a glance that I still don't understand.

“If what the Lord says is true, the Republic of Habsburg has been blindly trained. The president would have chosen only elite troops and placed them in the capital here. However, it is impossible for soldiers to mix together in order to solve the most basic accommodation. Take another look. ”

“Hmm.”

I listened to the telescope again and carefully examined the enemy camp.

It was only then that I noticed something strange. Most soldiers were solving meals in a certain number. Roughly ten. It seemed like a group of teenagers.

On the other hand, there were middle-aged, excessively large numbers of soldiers, such as about 35, gathered at once. However, there were not many such cases.

“ ……. ”

“Phew, you still don't know. ”

Laura sighs.

I was a little unlucky.

“The President of the Republic probably organized the entire army into teenagers. It's the most primitive way. Nevertheless, there are a squad of tens rather than ten in the middle, meaning that they have not been trained. ”

“Ah.”

“It must have been a swift extraction. ”

Laura mutters in peace.

“Why didn't you assemble the troops you rushed into a dozen? There we can infer two conclusions. Do you understand, Joo? ”

“Damn it.”

I muttered my swearing voice.

“I don't know, explain yourself. What, are you having fun making fun of me? ”

“Of course, mocking the Lord is as tasty as the most luscious Americas ( ) in the world. ”

Laura grins. Dammit. I made fun of Laura for being a fool. It was clear that he was trying to get back at me for what I used to do.

“We need to think about this first. Why the President of the Republic left his recruits in such a mess. There is only one reason. Because you're more efficient. ”

“It's more efficient not to be a teenager? ”

“Yes. Instead of forcing the newcomers into an unfamiliar system, it is better to leave them as they are. ”

Laura looks at the enemy camp.

“Those recruits are the civilians recruited from the city or town. The vigilantes in the city and town have their own familiarity. They are comfortable with twenty-five and thirty combat, among other things. ”

Aha.

It seemed plausible. It couldn't have worked by forcibly pushing a Teenage-White system against the newly elected militia. It was much better to squeeze a pair of teammates from their hometown together for years.

In other words, the soldiers who gathered more than ten people for lunch were not Elizabethan's elite soldiers. A militia rushed in from a nearby city and town.

“The president should know well enough that the battle is imminent. We must have strictly ordered the squad to guard the inn so we can respond immediately, even if we ambush them at the same time. So, except for a few squads, the rest of the troops are assembled in just ten units. ”

“Indeed…… all the rest are civilians, except for 15,000. ”

“Yes.”

Laura smiles.

“Lord, do you know what the second conclusion is? ”

“Yay, yay. The little man is a fool in the whole world, so please say what the Duke wants. ”

“Hehe.”

Laura chuckles.

“Think about it. If the Republican president was going to march with the elite, he would have organized the militia into ten. It is not possible to face our Empire army with a fleet of razor-sharp soldiers. ”

Laura's blue eyes, filled with laughter, suddenly sharpen like a lioness.

“Militias are organized into the most efficient militia units. Elite Soldiers prepare for the most efficient regiment. There is only one conclusion that comes from this situation. It is to separate the Militia from the Elite Soldiers completely and operate them. ”

“ ……. ”

“Then how do I herd them separately? Do you want me to take the militia as my own? That won't be possible either. Training levels are too low to be used separately. It is also impossible to treat civilians as they have seen them. It will collapse immediately upon our advance. ”

Laura's eyes narrow even further. It was the eyes of the beast, staring at the prey.

“I don't have the energy to organize a special unit in the Republic. Elite Soldiers or Militia Soldiers, we have to use them as we see them. In other words, we put the militia in the first rank and the elite in the second and third ranks. This is a Republican tactic. ”

Athens was the goddess of wisdom and the goddess of war.

Before, I didn't really understand why wisdom and war were treated together. But when I saw Laura, I knew for sure. You scout the enemy camp and read their tactics at once. What shall we call this human instead of calling her the goddess of wisdom and war?

“A militia of the first rank prevents our empire from attacking once. And when our troops are a little tired of fighting the militia, they try to attack them in the 2nd and 3rd ranks, elite troops. Hmm. That's a neat and cunning move. ”

Laura turns her head.

“Let's go back, Lord. I have identified the importance of the enemy. Now it's our turn to respond. ”
