Soldiers aligned in front of the walls are just silently inspecting their gear. In the midst of severe tension I had repeatedly glanced at the map around King Yugfena's territory in my hands.

The role assigned to the Chaldeans is a left-wing formation defense that unfolds on the plains in the meeting, which is to guide the Syls back to Castle Fort when they and their pursuers enter the meeting en route.

Inside us is a long spear infantry unit that takes a dense formation and intercepts the chase of the Sil tribe, which takes the form of a side-to-side penetration against the main unit. In addition, some horseback cavalry march eastward through the Black Mountains (Amon Noir) from Castle Fort. for the help and guidance of the Syl tribe.

Their presence also involves their decision to accept refugees. That's why we need guidance on purpose.

The refugees who are now arriving at the fort are the farmers, who, in Arxian common sense, belong to the ruling class.

If we do not succeed in obtaining the ruling class called the Shir and have them declare that the refugees are 'Kusha followers', the refugees who later accepted them could be the burden on Denzel and hence Lindar. Among the grand titles of refugee reception discussed in the House of Lords is the item of making the Arksian kingdom the custodian of the Kushas and of rescuing those in other countries who are persecuted.

Because we know that, Uncle King Einschvark must send out his soldiers.

I don't think Denzel's side has read that this aim is to protect and capture the Syls, but even from the force, they didn't really send out a thousand soldiers just for the Syls.

It is also clear from the fact that we are bringing a siege weapon that is completely unnecessary for the Syl crusade. Besides, I can't even watch the Misumi Shir get pinched in front of me.

"Master Hall, look, the sword"

I look up when I was beside you, called in a small voice that doesn't reach the ears of the others. Ahead of looking up, Gunter was offering a small sword.

"... ah, oh. Sorry, Gunter."

I rushed to receive it, and the map befell me in a folded, lowered pouch on my hips. The sword received also lowers with the belt worn on the sheath turned to the waist.

The spear was standing right next to me, but the sword was completely out of my mind. Apparently I'm nervous too.

Only this time the operation is an operation, the Cardiac territorial army does not voluntarily carry out the combat act itself. Still, we need to be prepared for self-defense in order not to know how the battlefield will work, and we need a sword to lead the soldiers in the first place. Look at the sword I put up on the horse, the soldier marches.

"Fine, I guess it's up to you to do what you normally call aristocratic battle support. He's not here."

"You're a soldier. You're making me look like a sidekick."

"Would it be nice if the innkeeper did something on his side?"

I didn't like the fact that Gunter, speaking in a more friendly, light-mouthed manner than usual, was doing that with care for me.

...... I stand on the battlefield.

That's right. I just think of it in my head, and I made a noise about how hard my heart had ever looked fine. Breathe deeply, consciously, to heal the beating that has accelerated.

"Sorry, Gunter"

"... what. I already heard about the sword."

The first line is the same for everyone in the leadership. As leaders of them, it is unacceptable to solidify with tension. It was also gratifying that Gunter would not dare to try to put it into words. As long as the tension is resolved, I try to make sure that I never even cared.

I dropped off the back of Gunter as he walked away into the line of the Legion.

I thought he was a person who wouldn't spoil me... but did he think there was no choice in the boulder than to have a child butting in front of the battlefield, albeit a lord?

While I was doing that, I said, "Align!" The voices hung, and the soldiers, each with their battle support, made a zappy noise and aligned their postures.

Are you ready?

Wolmarf, standing in front of the soldiers, looks around and speaks to everyone like that. It's not so loud, but it's a common voice, just like my father, Uncle King Einschvark.

Soldiers, knights, they all took salutes.

Once again, he briefly informs the soldiers that the army of Denzel is imminent and that this one will be laid in formation, ready to meet, for the protection of the Shir tribe. When the soldiers responded, Volmarv took a step back and Weegraf stepped forward instead.

"Place formations on the outside of the walls with infantry and cavalry. In the center are the Knights I, IV and Egol squads of the Corps, on the right are the Knights II and on the outside are the Levsky squads of the Corps, on the left are the Paranquez squads of the Corps and the Cardians territorial army. Archers to all squad walls. Avelin team hit fort and castle wall guard. The third of the Knights is a separate unit, which has already left the castle."

I guess a platoon called the third of the Knights is the Sil tribe's induction squad. The platoon, archers, and squadrons that stay in the castle have a strength of about 450. This is a tough battle difference to surround 700 soldiers, but this winning condition is not to beat the Denzel Army in a match.

"Look, our primary purpose is only to protect the Syls, not to withdraw or retreat the Denzels"

As for the overall flow, this one first marches the formations to approach Denzel's formation, intimidating and at the same time questioning the intent of this march. The tactical goal here will be the destruction of the Siege weapon, as there will certainly be a war.

With the rendezvous of the Sil tribe, the third platoon of the Knights, the Chaldeans territorial army, will leave while defending the Sil tribe, and the Knights and soldiers will also retreat to strive for defense.

"Retreat is a difficult operation, but it's not impossible in view of the conditions. Don't turn your back on your enemies and don't forget to back down while not breaking the line."

I felt the soldiers breathe into the immediate operational notice from the staff officer.

─ Speaking of which, didn't Denzel's army approach this fort of Jugfena so closely after the war seventeen years ago?

In light of the history of war taught by Lady Mareshan and her confrontation with her neighbours on the eastern border knocked in by the Earl of Teresia, she had herself somewhere in her heart when she was convinced that it was still so. Although Yugfena soldiers are highly skilled, isn't this the first time they've been in action?

So did the Cardiac Army - thinking about it, I felt twitching and anxiety crawling up from my toes. More than half of the people standing here have never fought in action.
