Amidst the daily tragic news and aggravated confusion, good news has arrived at the Royal Palace in Rosellen after a long time.
This is just the news of reinforcements.
Yudante unrolled the letter from Eurasia with great joy.
And read a few lines and exclaimed happily.
"Rejoice! Reinforcements are coming from Lunan!
Hearing this, the nobles began to buzz.
"It's true!
"Oh! Then!
However, the expression on the king's face as he reads the letter changes drastically. His expression has lost its brightness.
But ....... The number of reinforcements is ....... It's only 30,000. ......
The air in the palace froze in an instant at those words.
The general of the Royal Army, Bellac asked, wrinkling his brow.
"Your Majesty, I think the numbers are wrong. You can never win with such numbers. In the last war, Lunan's total force that stopped the 70,000 troops of Nalja was 100,000. How in the world can you fight with 30,000 troops ......!
I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this in the future. Duh, so ....... Somehow ......!
The king's words were no longer falling on the ears of the nobles.
Because to them the only thing that mattered was the number of reinforcements.
Even Duke Rusheikh, who proposed the request for reinforcements, shook his head, saying it was not worth talking about.
Still, the situation does not see any insistence that 30,000 troops will join forces and try to fight.
The moment the option of fleeing to the third country was also on the minds of the nobles who remained in the royal capital to believe in reinforcements.
Bellac also left the palace with a frown on his face.
How would you fight with only 30,000 troops?
The Royal Army of Roserun was also severely desertion and disorganized, with only about 10,000 troops left.
10,000 troops and 30,000 reinforcements unwilling to fight.
Meanwhile, the enemy is 60,000 elite soldiers.
That's all, or it was also gaining slave soldiers to serve as arrow shields by absorbing territorial armies throughout Roserun that had surrendered.
In other words, 20,000 slave soldiers were added to the existing force, bringing the total force to over 80,000.
Chapter 3
Well aware of the morale and training of the Royal Army, Bellac concluded that it was a battle that could not be won.
But his troops under his command, Kaiten, had a different idea.
"General! With 30,000 men, if you have that Count Adrian, you have to somehow protect this royal city, and only the royal capital ......
"Shut up! Yet the number of soldiers remains the same!
But if you are a general who led a larger war to victory, you can go to ......
I'm sure that story was exaggerated, too. That's what rumors are for. Besides, the terrain is not available in this situation. We'll have to fight on the plain in front of the capital. What kind of strategy do you have in mind?
Don't think like that. The lords who have already surrendered are also wrong. The country is in this situation because they are only thinking about surrendering ....... We should change our minds and think of a serious fight now!
"Shut up! Don't talk like you know what you're talking about!
Kaiten's words made Bellac rather furious.

Joined up with the Lunan Royal Army in the southern territories.
The training degree is 30.
Morale also 30.
It was a terrible figure troops.
In command were placed two counts, five viscounts, and ten barons.
This was Ronen's intention. The viscount and baron are local nobles who have led soldiers from their respective territories, but the count is a vassal sent by Ronen.
That would mean a watchdog role.
The reinforcements were hastily joined by Jinto.
The other vassals did not call. Would be busy with military training in the territory.
Zinto alone was enough, because it's another country's war.
The problem is that the reinforcements sent by the king were only 30,000.
The king explained that, for now, if he was fighting for 30,000, he would chase it down and fill it up.
It's not a joke. That's not the story.
In other words, the first step was to make something possible with 30,000 troops.
Possibilities such as killing the King of Brigitte.
Well, that's the king.
Just send me 30,000 troops before I change my mind.
Anyway, we arrived at the royal capital of Roserun without any disturbance.
I went straight to the royal palace and had an audience with the King of Roserun.
The king was still young. About the age of middle school.
"Your Majesty, I've brought reinforcements! This is Count Adrian, the general of the reinforcements.
I knelt next to Eurasia, who introduced me on her knees.
"Oh, I see! That Count Adrian is exactly what you are!
I don't know what that word means, but I'm pretty sure that Count Adrian is me.
When I shook my head, Wang asked again with an earnest look on his face.
Then let's hear it. Is it true that the 30,000 reinforcements from Lunan are ......? What if they're going to be filled more later?
The nobles looked at me at the same time to that question.
There seemed to be dissatisfaction with the number of soldiers.
That would mean less.
Well, I admit it. Certainly not a lot.
But still not to the worst. It was a manageable figure to fight.
"These 30,000 are all I have.
Such ....... With only 30,000 troops, you can't stop the enemy ......?
The nobles all nodded at the king's words.
Then Eurasia shook her head at the king.
"Your Majesty, even that 30,000 is not an easily obtained force. Besides, 30,000 troops are enough to fight. You can't worry. In the name of Roserun, I will certainly defend the royal city!
Eurasia, who had been listening silently, exclaimed, as if she could not stand it anymore.
"I think I'm good enough to fight!
It was a good argument, and I agreed with her.
But the nobles only sigh.
Everyone already had a defeated look on their faces.

On the citadel of the royal city.
I asked General Bellac in this soon-to-be fierce battleground.
What is the status of the Royal Army?
Of course, you can see it in the system, but I had to ask anyway.
Because it would be funny if I knew before I explained.
The kingdom's army is 10,000. There are only the basic garrison of the royal capital, since everyone has surrendered and fled when they should have gathered troops from their respective territories.
Wait. Most of the territories surrendered without a fight?
Eurasia, who was listening, interrupted and said with a strong nod of her head, Berak said.
That's what it is. This is the reality, Your Highness.
In other words, no territorial army came to support the royal capital, which means all 10,000 garrison soldiers. In addition, there did not seem to be any support troops from the territory of the northern part of the royal capital that had not yet been invaded.
In this part of the game, the existing strategy would change significantly.
It was not a situation that could be defended by the kingdom's army alone with reinforcements elsewhere.
While the King of Lunan was struggling to prepare reinforcements on a whim, Bridget's invasion was breaking out, making the situation even worse.
If only we could have come before Bridget's invasion, the situation would have been completely different.
Well, I'm not going to give up.
How are we going to fight this? The Royal Army and reinforcements combined are only 40,000 troops. ......
General Bellac turned to me and asked, "You should make the most of the siege.
'You'd better make the most of the siege.
That's the basics, for starters.
But Bellac let out a laugh at my words.
'You think the strategy of a good strategist is at best a siege battle? Haha. That's it.
He scoffed and turned his back on me and walked down the citadel on his own.
In other words, the general of the kingdom's army has no intention of fighting, either.
The general is in that condition. It's not surprising that the Royal Army's morale is only eight, in a way.
''You're right,''
Eurasia bit her lip with a somber look on her face as she watched.
'I didn't think that Rosellen is such a pathetic country. Everyone seems to think that 30,000 troops won't do us any good. 30,000 isn't that small a number. ......
"It's probably because there are so many of them, especially if you're not used to war. Especially if you're not used to war, even more so.
But it's the difference between having 30,000 reinforcements and not having them. I believe that if we resist desperately, we can win. If we all work together as one, we can do it!
Well, that's true. Everyone had to be of one mind.
I mean, morale had to be raised.
After all, it's your own soldiers who should be motivated to fight.
If the country's soldiers were thinking only of escaping, there was no way to boost the morale of the reinforcements.
No matter how good the strategy is, it's useless if they can't even execute it.
She was grateful to me.
I was the one who had convinced the King of Lunang that he could not even get 30,000 reinforcements.
So she thanked me on her knees in Lunan.
But that was as far as it went. Not only was she my benefactor, but we had to fight together, so she had a sense of camaraderie, but she didn't trust me completely.
It's no surprise that I never showed her a strategy or showed her any capabilities.
I just don't want to ask her to die in another country's war. If ....... If you said that to the King of Lunan without knowing that Rosellen was in such a bad situation, you may leave now. I admit that the situation has gotten worse. But I will fight. I will not let Brigitte trample this land until I die!
She said that while looking at me sideways.
But I don't have that option.
Where would you go without a fight?
It's not going to happen. After invading Rosellen, Brigitte's next target will undoubtedly be Lunan. We will fight with you to the end. So, don't forget that feeling, Your Highness. You must never give up, no matter what happens next. If your highness is willing to endure without giving up, I will perform a miracle for you.
The princess bowed to me and thanked me.
"Your help is very much appreciated! That help is desperately needed Rosellen.
Then he turned his back to me and put his hand on the castle wall and looked out of the castle from above.
A strong wind blew her hair out of place.
There was silence for a while.
It was the question she posed that broke the silence.
But miracles can be found at ....... Will they really happen?
"If your highness follows my strategy, I will certainly perform miracles.
At my words, Eurasia clenched her fists and screamed.
Then I will return the favor to you by any means necessary!
It's not a favor. If His Highness will fight without giving up, miracles will happen.
"I will never give up!
Then I'll make a miracle happen.
I replied in a confident voice.
That's what I came here for.
