Garudeina Oukoku Koukoku Ki

"Then our soldiers..."

"Um, retreat to the border and prepare for a reverse invasion."

The city of Nidea, two men talking in the office of the consulate.

Raymond Crewell Grefenberg on one side and Eduart Goltberg on the other, commonly known as Ed. Needless to say, Lord Nidea and Chairman of the Goltberg Chamber of Commerce.

"Rumor has it that a ground unit made up of beastmen only, and a unit formed in Dragonut, was confirmed, red and white, with flags painted with dragons and stars"

"... it is, without a doubt"

"Oh, Lord Georg's soldier."

These two are more watchful than anyone about Georg's trends. I guess so if you take it for granted. Anyway, how he moves changes our fate.

"So does that mean the Empire will attack?

"Even today and tomorrow, it may not mean that intact reinforcements are still assembling at the Sankzi Castle Fortress. Perhaps it will invade the not so distant future. I'm still hearing that a fast horse hoping for reinforcements from the border to the Royal Castle is a hiatus."

To Raymond's words, Ed arms in a roar.

"When we get here, we have to figure out how to shake ourselves."

"Whatever. Fortunately, soldiers who give to the Church in our territory have sent most of them to the battlefield, so it's not as hard as the left to make things happen."

"But the church at heart is still alive and well. We have to do something about this..."

"Well, if you can, I'd like Lord Georg to advance the soldiers once, in this city or in the vicinity."

"Hmm... if you're a Church follower, you expect to make sure you're fighting to stop it?

"Oh, as long as we can sweep the forces of the Church out of the realm, I don't care what happens to the rest. As for the people, it will be handy inside, but if it is occupied, the fervour will go to Lord Georg, not us. From there it will be a sign of his hand."

"... will you march soldiers into this city where old customs remain deeply ingrained?

"I don't think so. But if you want to put it under control, you have to show your face once. If you're not going to occupy it, the problem is with the Empire."

"... Empire, if I become a merchant, there's not much difference either way down. But if you're also a lord..."

"Right there. In an attempt to consult like this, I am only a kingdom nobleman, if it is a relief of possession, I should be lucky to be dropped by the people of Shirai, and I should be prepared for the worst blow to the neck. Well, if you surrender and strike your neck, the other lords will resist in madness, though they die"

The current position of Raymond is very vague. A kingdom aristocrat, but with no connection whatsoever to the empire that leads to and will invade the Lord of Gardina during the current fighting.

He would surrender without hesitation if it was Gardina who invaded him, but when it was also an empire, he was not on his own. It is already clear that Georg is cooperating with the Empire, but that is why there is no guarantee that the Empire will treat Raymond's personality with care.

On the contrary, if Georg had not told the Empire about Raymond, he would be treated in the same way as many other kingdom aristocrats.

Then if you are asked if you will fight thoroughly, you have no temper or soldier to confront the empire with which Dragnil is on your side.

"It's a headache..."

"My heart, I beg your pardon"

Their secret talks continued for some time afterwards.

"Yes, you won"

"Yes, we heard reinforcements arrive for the first time, and the Dinants retreat to the border. He said he was showing you how to defend against war."

"Victory without reinforcements, huh? Hehe, what a good thing. Looks like Gardina's army. So, how long has the victory celebration been gathered?

Lyudmila and Oliga received the reward of an "Imperial Army victory" from an early horse in Imperial Capital and are now at a stage where they are discussing their subsequent response.

"Yes, it would be roughly 7500 or something right now. Later, we would like to make some preparations by the scheduled date of Lord Georg's visit."

"Right. But the problem is food."

"That's the thing. We are currently eating up quite a bit of the food we have stockpiled for this line of defense and for preparing for a reverse invasion. We can't really afford to turn it around to other countries."

"... but it's also a problem with boulders to say that they only send people without even having food. This time, among the nobles who have not marched, let them testify from those who can afford it."

"Already so. These are the people who were at peace in their own territories during the time of the national emergency. You can't say no, and I won't let you."

"Hehe, I'm scared scared. That said, there's no way they can keep their power warm while they're moving the National Army. It's the only way you can get rid of him, okay?

"I understand."

In this war, there are a large number of nobles, mainly from the north to the northeast, who have not received Lyudmila's request to send troops. Those who take possession away from the battlefield.

Whether it was a matter of distance, possession, or kindness, I dared only keep it warm because it was foreseen that this would happen.

If we let them say, "Why should we now supply food reserves when we say that life was not given but that we therefore did not march?", the reply on that is extremely simple.

"If so, now is the time not to use that power."

In short, you can choose whether to just serve food or go to the battlefield as reinforcements.

For the aristocracy of the north, the southern conquest has little flavor. If it were to be an expedition, none of the necessary weapons, food, military horse feeding, soldiers' salaries to conscript for it, this is the ratio of southern aristocracy. In addition, even if you were given more possession in the southern expedition, you would have to struggle to manage even if you were given a territory in such a enclave. That said, if you were asked to redeem the cost of the expedition with just a bounty, you would get a question mark.

It is also easy to imagine that if food is all you need, you will never go beyond it.

Well, many nobles are in the war this time around. Therefore, the fact that the voice cannot be raised and rebounded is also a major factor.

"Well, then it's time for a meeting. This southern expedition will be a success."

"Ha, I will gather the nobles and officers of the Imperial City immediately."

It is no exaggeration to say that this Gardina has caused a war in which many countries, people, are now about to enter with their own thoughts.

Perhaps the day the prints of the continent are rewritten is not so far away.
