512th moat: Wake up from your dreams to reality
Wake up from your dreams to reality.
SIDE: Cagra Camisillo
... Was I even dreaming?
That's what I think.
"Kagra. What do you think of this letter?
"Ah, yes. I'll take a look."
Because you're back to being this princess's opponent.
Same as before, meaningless exchange, no matter what I say is good, the princess does not listen, just a repetition of rewriting the letter.
I was there earlier, those boring days when I thought all about Weed was a dream.
Or I think there's a desire to dream about Weed.
I might still have been more convinced to be told it was some kind of bad joke.
But what happened at Weed is true...
"Oh? What happened to that ring?
"Ah, erm..."
At the end of the princess's gaze, there exists a ring with a tremendous ability, which is put on my finger.
This is the proof that I went to Weed.
After that weapon sorting, after being lightly explained how to use it, I came back to Bide, but with so much difference, it seemed like a dream.
By the way, the weapon I chose is a cane.
I could use some swords, but not as much as a knight, and I made it the type to shoot magic from the wand itself.
Well, that's fine there, what did this ring explain?
Speaking of just getting it from Yuki, you might complain about something, and if it's even a weird misunderstanding, it's a hassle.
"That's not a very good thing."
"Yes?"
"Look, there, there's a scratch in there. No design. It's just a ring."
"Oh, yeah, right"
It seems that's how Mr. Naruzia did this for disguise.
As far as I'm concerned, the performance of the ring is so flighty that I didn't care at all, but that's how this ring looked to the princess.
"Being as kagra is quite demanding as well. I don't really want to say this, but if you're not thoughtful, you should take it off. You will be insulted."
As the princess puts it, wearing worthless things, crude things, makes me suspect the poverty of the house.
It can also be one of the factors that can be treated as opponents.
If this is a normal hurt ring, you should do as the princess says, but this ring is not normal.
A ring with such great abilities that it's not strange to be in some legend or fairy tale.
Things I absolutely need from now on.
How would you convince me if I explained it to you...
Oh, let's go with that hand.
"No, princess. You can't take this off. It's also my commandment. It is the relic of a knight who fought and scattered for Bide."
"... Was I? That ring is a testament to the people who fought for Heiden."
"Yes."
"Okay. I said rude things. You should wear that."
I don't mind this kind of place because she's a kind princess, but other than that, it's empty.
Or you can say I'm confused myself.
I still half-heartedly believe that this continent is in the same world with the Weed, home of the Yuki's.
Well, what we need to do now is do something about Heiden's interior, and that kind of difficult thing will be fine later.
"But Kagra"
"Yes. What is it?
"Reinforcements in the King's Capital are slow, aren't they? Aren't you lazy? It was already seven days after the battle, five days of engagement, and it was two days before the battle that you requested reinforcements, right?
"Yes."
"Already, it's been fourteen days. Do you understand it as a crisis in Heiden? Uncle, your majesty must reprimand me."
Koyu, I don't even have common sense.
"No, princess. To see the size of the enemy, etc., it is inferior to the number just to send the King's Capital defense forces straight to Bide, and they will do it in no time. So we're going to gather the troops in the neighborhood, get our supplies ready, and we're leaving, so it's about as early as we can come. The more people get together, the duller they move."
"Really?
You look strange.
Realize the seriousness of the situation.
I'd like you to reflect on that reckless cage battle.
If Yuki and the others don't come, Bide's troops will be wiped out, we are prisoners, prisoners!!
Oh, my God, when I'm complaining in my heart, Lord Catherine comes in through the door.
"Lord Catherine? What's wrong, sir?
"Is there something wrong?
"Princess. Lord Camisillo. Reinforcements have arrived from the King's Capital."
"Well, you're very good to see from the earlier Kagra story. I can't believe you arrived so soon."
"Ha? ha. Well, sure, yeah."
"And for now. What is the situation with the reinforcements?
I don't care what the princess feels the day after tomorrow in the direction.
Faster than I thought, which means I still had guidelines and was ready.
Dealing poorly, they take over Bide as it is.
If that happens, it could mean that the Weed thing goes off and the war goes on.
Somehow, we need to push the reinforcements back before they arrive in Bide...
"The main unit of reinforcements will arrive in about three days, but the soldiers on the move are puzzled that no battle has taken place"
"Master Yuki has defeated the enemy."
"Yes, you're right, but as the princess knows, Master Yuki doesn't think well of Heiden. If reinforcements arrive, they will be hostile to Master Yuki."
"Well, you shouldn't do that. Bide, no, because he saved Heiden's life."
What's the first line I've ever known?
You've been saying that for a long time.
"Exactly. So for a while now, in order to buy time to convince Master Yuki, reinforcements need to pick it up. For this we need the princess to hide about Yuki and tell us that we drove him back on our own..."
"... right. I don't mean to jeopardize Yuki's position right now. I get it. And what can I explain to you?
"... where I and Lord Catherine will assist you"
There's no way I can explain that to this princess...
"The sun is already setting, so I have asked the team to come back to briefly explain the situation. Tomorrow morning, we will take an early horse to the main unit of reinforcements to provide an explanation. Rest early as tomorrow will be sooner"
"Okay. Phew. Unfortunately, your letter will be another time. Now, I need to buy you some time to discuss it with Master Yuki. Never defeat a hero with our hands."
……
That word makes me and Lord Catherine feel subtle.
I can't take it down, hey.
Instead, it's Heiden who's buying time to extend his life, isn't it?
Or if we keep hostile, Heiden's going to die instantly.
"Come on, it's early tomorrow, so let's get some rest. Get some rest, too."
"Yes. Now if you'll excuse me."
"Princess. I'll carry your meal now."
"Well, is Yuki's treat still on today?
"Yes, sir."
"I look forward to it."
... No, this guy.
While I think about it, I leave the room and head back to the office.
"Like this, is it?
"It is. So, here it is."
"Mmm. That's pretty tight."
"I'm used to it. That hammer is the same as Phyllia's, and it has a mechanism to reduce the load with the wind without losing weight. We just have to remember when to activate it."
"I see. That's why it's more efficient to get wind support when swinging than when swinging it down."
"It is. But if you do too much, your arms and body can't stand the accelerating weight of the hammer."
"Hmm. That's pretty deep. And the hammer."
"It is."
There, for some reason, Lord Jorzin was giving Phyllia the lecture of the Hammer of War.
"Oh, you're here. Did you hear about the reinforcements?
"Yeah, yeah. So, what are you doing?
"Oh, excuse me for this. While I was waiting, Lord Filia gave me guidance on the hammer."
"Practice and understanding are important to the use of weapons."
"No, you're right..."
Why are you doing that in the office?
Because I've been waiting?
But stop waving the hammer indoors or something.
In the first place, that's Mr. Naruzia's weapon, isn't it?
You wouldn't blow up every room, would you?
"The practice is over, and reinforcements have finally arrived. Approximately 50,000."
"Is it 50,000? Still half of our Imperial Army, huh? That's a third when you put it back together."
"Is this a lot?
"Given the time, the number of mobilizations is higher than I thought, but the response is oddly quick. Fifteen days from the start of the battle, and there, unless you're ready in advance, I can't explain how fast this moves. It will take three days and four days to mobilize conscripts, and at the same time secure munitions and organize them. Plus, with over 10,000 mobilizations, the march will be incredibly slow."
"I see. Doesn't that make much difference to the speed of the army? But coming in about a half-month, I guess we should have seen some guidance."
"I guess. You should be wary of siege warfare because it's enemy reinforcements. If you get hit in the back, you risk annihilation instead of attacking. I told my insiders this army was 30,000. I guess that means they caught me."
"So, actually, he said he came for 100,000."
"You can't trust an insider like that. I also planned to slip into Heiden as it was. The late. But as expected, we Imperial Army seemed to be bait for its insiders, too. If we had attacked at 30,000, we would still not have dropped Bide, and we would have been pinched and wiped out by enemy reinforcements from behind."
"So, the insider saves Bide and gains Bide's rights."
"Probably."
I see.
Turns out the informer I guided is in reinforcements.
But then...
"If you're right about Master Yuki and Lord Jorzin, won't the reinforcements try to occupy Bide at all costs? Will you respond to the princess's persuasion?
"That depends on the explanation. You can tell him that the Imperial Army that attacked Bide turned right back. So, if the target was anywhere else, the reinforcements would turn right back. We can leave reinforcements at Bide's after the battle. We just need to lose room."
I see.
Then the reinforcements will have to move quickly.
"There's no possibility that you won't believe this, because the fight is already over in Bide. Don't waste your military money or your neck flying. It would be unlikely, and then that would only make it for me and Lord Georgine to spend some time in hiding. So if you report to your country from Bide, the reinforcements will have to turn back."
"... right. But can Master Yuki or Lord Jorzin be treated like that?
Lord Catherine is very sad to treat Yuki like that, who says he is my lord, and asks how Yuki is doing.
"Mmm. I basically don't want to stand out, so it's okay this way."
"I don't have a problem with that either. Because it's strategic, and I'm not just being humble."
"Okay. Tomorrow morning, we will take Kagra and the princess to persuade the reinforcements."
"I asked for it. Yeah, I'll put an escort on tomorrow, so if you need anything, you can count on that escort."
"Escort? Like Mr. Jessica?
"Ainya. Brave man."
"Yusha?
What's that?
