I Became the First Prince
196. 60. set fire (1)
I try to sit tight, but my butt keeps rattling in a nervous mood.
In the end, I couldn't help but wake up.
“Your Majesty. Sometimes you should know to wait. ”
After seeing me like that, Malkoy gave me a pincup, saying, "Stay still." I forcefully sat down, and shortly afterwards I rebuilt myself.
“I have to go now. If we hurry, we will be able to catch up with those who left first. ”
“It's been four days since they left. How do you say they catch up? ”
Malkoy sighed and looked at me.
“Moreover, how many times have I not told you that those who left the citadel must keep the citadel firm in order to fight with confidence? ”
I sat down like that. I repeated countless times I wished to get up.
There was no spine release.
I was nervous for a while, but I heard footsteps outside the conference room.
“Your Majesty!"
“Come in!”
The Chief of the Defence Staff appeared scarcely before the end of the speech, opening the door of the conference room.
“What happened? ”
The defense commander smiled brightly at the questions he asked without a chance to hide.
“Lord Arwen says he's defeating an army size enemy and is going under as planned! ”
“What about Eli?”
“Eli Confucius also raided the enemy barracks and made a significant advance! ”
The consecutive winning strengths entered the fist.
“Aah."
Malkoy hesitates to sit in a rotten chair.
I gave him a pinglass that he should know how to wait, and he was really nervous.
“All of our allies have now infiltrated the rear of the enemy, and many of our enemies are on the march to capture the chaos behind them. ”
“How many? ”
“More than 10 of the 31 troops that were marching towards the border were said to have returned. ”
I looked at Malcolm without even knowing.
It was exactly what Malkoy had expected.
Malkoy said that if an ally of three troops infiltrates the rear of an enemy, at least ten of the 31 troops the Empire was marching towards the border would be retreated.
This is because the Imperial Army doctrine always says to mobilize more than three times as many troops for the imperative, and because the nobles who settle not far from the border are the same number.
“I've moved three troops to turn the feet of ten troops, so I'm not a loser. ”
“It's just the beginning. ”
Malkoy said with a serious face.
“Depending on how well the Empire troops infiltrated the rear, the defeat of the operation depends. And while they disturb the rear, the borders of the kingdom must be firmly buttressed. When the border breaks down, everything will go back to the bullets. ”
From now on, Malcolm plans again, saying it will be Gobi at every moment.
“It is common sense to shrink the wire in defensive positions to facilitate defense, but in doing so, it is only the kingdom that ultimately suffers damage. Unlike the empire, where everything was stopped for war, the empire's industry is running smoothly even now. ”
Rather than explaining it to someone else, it was self-conscious and confirming the faults of the operation.
“If we leave it alone, the kingdom will not support the fight, but we will be forced to collapse from within. My homeland, the Kingdom of Marseille, was also judged as such. ”
I also listened to his explanation and revisited the plan.
Support troops deployed from the rear arrived quickly, and by now, the number of allies deployed to the border was close to 15 troops, approximately 30,000.
With more than 5,000 allies on the Eastern Fleet front following the King, the total force currently in operation in the kingdom is more than 35,000.
It was less than half the size of the 47 troops the Empire mobilized for the war against the Kingdom, and only a handful compared to the Empire's total troops.
The kingdom's finances were swollen just by running less than a handful of troops.
If it had not been for the proclamation of independence and clearance of more than 100 nobles and confiscation of their property, the treasury of the kingdom would have been destroyed. However, the property so repaid was not infinite.
As evidence, the crew sent a letter.
I think it's too much to send more troops to the front lines. We must somehow stop the Empire army with only the troops we have now.
15 troops comprising a large number of conscripts who are currently approaching the border and who must stop hostiles of 31 troop sizes.
It won't be easy, but considering the advantages of defense wasn't just impossible.
In fact, the Allies have been defending their borders like iron barrels, despite the outpouring of overwhelming troops so far.
But, yeah, one year, or two. After the Consumption War, it was the kingdom that was defeated.
Unlike Malcolm's empire, which reorganized everything for the war, the empire maintained its usual system except for a few territories that became battlefields.
“The Kingdom must somehow enlarge the front line and make the Empire take the risk of bleeding. ”
Malkoy continued his words in a delicate tone.
“Fortunately, the kingdom is better than the Empire. The Royal Army moves only for one purpose, but not the Empire Army. The commanders of each army have different factions and different political positions. ”
He had served for quite some time as commander of the Empire army, so he knew the Empire army's illness better than anyone else.
The commanders of the different factions were in a position to hold each other back, and in some cases, two factions were confronting each other, even within a single army.
“That's the blindness of the empire that the kingdom needs to dig into. ”
The point of the operation was to create a situation in which the commanders of the enemy moving for different purposes were forced to move separately.
It was also part of that task to infiltrate the rear and remove the commanders of the Ogre army from the front lines adjacent to the border.
All that was left now was how to divide the forces of more than 20 enemies, but Malcolm also prepared a plan for it.
If we wait, we'll get results.
But just waiting for it was also not right for my taste.
Especially when my men are infiltrating the enemy camp and carrying out a dangerous mission.
I just wanted to pull out the sword and go to the battlefield right away.
Of course I couldn't.
Malcolm didn't let me run away from the citadel.
“The people of the Leonberger family are too risky. ”
“Even the Dothrmund family would be unworthy. ”
Between rich and poor, Malkoy snorts.
"You gotta be kidding me.”
Malkoy's expression was full of cynical hues.
“The greatest beneficiaries of the war in the Kingdom of Leonberg are the Dothrins. With the attention of the Empire drawn to the Kingdom, Dothrin's territory is still safe. ”
He vomits ten times that the king of Dothrin is very evil.
“The Knights of Chang? So are they. You may think that the Kingdom receives their help, but in fact, it's more like they're borrowing the Kingdom's troops for their own troops. You can also see that there is only one Knight who has a surrogate. The kingdom is being exploited. ”
I shrugged my shoulders.
To put it bluntly, Malkoy's words were not entirely wrong.
In fact, the Dothrin Kingdom did not send any of its troops to the war, except for the Knights of Chang.
The Great Wall clan and the monarch of plague occupied the sea and made it impossible to access troops by land, but it was not necessarily necessary to find a way.
Nevertheless, Malkoy's interpretation was excessive.
It was natural.
For Malkoy, who doesn't know about the Climate Family, the Knights of Spear will be nothing more than one knight with a special means of movement called a non-dragon.
However, contrary to Malkoy's idea, the Knights of Chang were not merely knights.
Of course, their individual power was removed, and their manoeuvrability was the strongest on the continent.
The Dothrmund family that led them there was a real monster that could steam a few Knights alone.
If we were to convert them into power, we would call them at least three legions and more than the Knights of Penta.
However, even though I explained the example of Penta, which I have never seen before, it seems that I was not very close to Malkoy.
Malcolm talks loudly to me, and then he brings up another story.
“I am most concerned about what the Emperor's intentions are. ”
He raised concerns that it would not be possible for the emperor to move the army of the divided empire for a single purpose if he so wished, and that he could not know why he was so ignorantly pouring out his power.
It made sense.
I also knew the Emperor had such abilities.
However, I speculated that the current situation was not the Emperor's intention.
Malcolm asked me for the basis of my speculation.
“Wait a minute. The Rangers who went on reconnaissance will be sure to come back. ”
And as the day went by, the rangers who had finally gone out on reconnaissance returned.
“The Enemy's General Commander is one of the immediate family members of the Emperor Bourgogne. ”
“How many times? ”
“I don't know if it's because I'm worried about the non-dragon knight's raid, so I don't have a flag at the moment. ”
In the words of the Ranger, I sent Jordan straight away to find out who the prince is.
If you're a good ranger who's been to the Imperial eclipse with me, you can tell how many princes you've seen in the first place.
Shortly after, Jorden returned.
Ranger's face was brighter than ever before.
As I looked at his face, my heart began to beat. As if I'd heard any news of the pleasure.
“How long has it been?”
Jordan smiled and said,
“It's him. ”
He's the one I've been waiting for.
I laughed.
It was so nice to meet you.
“Who the hell is he? ”
Malkoy frowned and asked if he did not understand the conversation between me and Jordan.
“The hope of all those who are hostile to the Empire. ”
Immediately from the Emperor of Bourgogne, who drove his specialty in defense of the Dothrin Kingdom.
“A sample of incompetence and greed. ”
“No way...”
Malkoy, who understood the situation late, looked at me.
I looked at three fingers quietly.
“That's right. He's a trio prince. ”
The scourge of the empire that raised the ball over the years,
It was the moment that finally revealed itself on the battlefield of the kingdom.
How nice to meet you.
