Lasvieto, Empire Capital of the Wilhelm Empire. This is a fortified city with numerous subordinates, residents, and troops stationed in it, starting with and serving the Emperor.

The population is approximately 300,000, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that this is undoubtedly the largest city on this continent in this era.

Especially in snow-dyed regions for much of the year, the fact that this much of the population can live will be nothing more than proof left that it possesses that much productivity, or some technology.

And the high ability of a ruler to rule such a city.

"Well, there's a dinant..."

"is, according to the Intermittent, roughly 3,000 in number. We're gathering a selection." "

A young woman sitting on a majestic throne in the castle of the Empire City, in the luxurious large hall there. That woman is the city, no, the main empress of the empire, Lyudmila Slamifi Wilhelm.

This country was governed by a rare woman even on the continent.

The ancestors of the Founding Fathers are also women, which is why women are very attentive in this country, and few apply for military service, as well as active and military service.

"3000 or... I don't even think I can break through that Gardina with that many..."

"Yes, so there are a lot of people who see it as just a positive rumor that the purpose is different."

"Hmm..."

The wavy blonde hair, thinning clear blue eyes and worrying appearance seems to be a painting only.

"Any other information?

"... it's not credible, but it seems to have something to do with the subpeople,"

"Subhuman?

"Yes, there have been reports recently at Dinanto that nearly 2,000 sub-people have disappeared, and that they will be following their whereabouts to Gardina,"

"2000...... that's another good number. But even if all 2,000 of the subhumans acted wrapped up, you can't just let them in that forest. Except if it comes with dragnills and dragonuts."

"That won't be possible. Even in history, there are almost no examples of their involvement in human beings, let alone taking such bold action…"

"We're talking about possibilities. It's not just zero without examples, that's all. Whatever it is, I'm pretty sure Dinant's movements require vigilance. You can go into Gardina and destroy it all on your own, but you can't be badly inspired by demons to come into our country. Well, if you ever get close to the border, you can fight the soldiers of our country. More spies, gather as much information as you can."

"Ha!"

"And those in the army, too, urge those who come into border security to be vigilant, not only in human soldiers, but also in the demons of Gardina. Then wash your food reserves again, in case you go into battle with the dinants, there is also a risk of prolongation. Try not to be alarmed, I think this is a pre-war phase, okay?

"" "" "Ha!!

"All right, then, let's try to be inspiring."

To Lyudmila's words, a large number of people who were in the Great Hall followed the scene. Lyudmila called out to one remaining belly after dropping it off.

"Olya, what do you think?

Olya, the woman nicknamed so, the right name is Oliga Zelenkov, but responds to that voice.

"Whatever at this stage. There can't be dragnyls on boulders, but I can't figure out why Dinanto is moving soldiers now. As a matter of fact, why send the elite into a dangerous zone called Gardina etc..."

"Right...... still trying to pioneer again, some are more credible. But 3,000 soldiers, you can't ignore them."

"Yes, it's probably not a laughable force to be broken through if it's about the border in the southeast. Especially in recent years, the army has tended to shrink, and border defenses have become slightly more modest than before."

"No, there aren't many soldiers to tell you to invade knowing that, in 3000, even if you can break through the border, until then. We can't even maintain the territory we've taken."

"Right...... later, is it still Gardina...... but that land is too dangerous. I understand if you're looking out for it and saying there's something you want to get..."

"Hmm...... Olya, how many soldiers can move right on hand right now?

"Now? … in a couple of weeks, you'll be able to collect about 5,000 or 6,000, but I'd like at least one to two months, considering the organization, the commander's decision, the means of supply and transportation, and the creation of a transport plan"

"Well... sure, Rasheed was on his way over here right now"

"Are you General Basnell? Yeah, I hear the general's niece is getting married soon, and she's stopping by her parents' house."

"Then I'll leave the command to Rasheed. Collect at least 4,000 soldiers, and provide them with a month's worth of food. We'll see how it goes after that by transporting it sequentially. I left it up to you, Olya, to organize the convoy and draw up the transport plan."

"I left it to you... Your Majesty, what if..."

"Oh, we're going to send soldiers to Gardina, too. If Dinanto is headed to Gardina, we'll try to mimic it, too. In case you want to go for the border, you can rendezvous as a reinforcement to the local defense forces. Anyway, it's important to stay out of the way."

"... Yes, I did. Summon General Basnell immediately. A general would make no mistake because he once commanded the front line against Dinanto, and he has a proven track record of leading an investigative team to Gardina."

"Departure is a month's notice. Don't let the diner get behind you. I asked for it."

"Yes, sir."

Thus, in the absence of any awareness on the part of the two countries, an interdiction against Gardina was about to take place.

Just to be lucky for Gardina is that Georg is currently on his way to the Wilhelm Empire.

No one knows yet how that's going to change things.
