"Hmm, I wonder if this is the case for now? Balgas, this is the last time you've got your position surrounded by walls, right?

"Ah, that's it, General. It's a penetration, but it should be enough for now."

Coming to the House Menmen interception point, I decided to consolidate my defenses for the time being.

We created a position a few days south of Fort Eindrad.

There are three of them.

Originally a hill, Fort Eindrad was built using its height.

The Eindrad Fort is surrounded by [Atmos Wall], plus the height of the hill.

I think that defense is quite good.

And I made three positions south of Fort Eindrad.

Although there were no hills, they were surrounded by [Atmos Wall] in the same way.

Simply a wall 50 meters tall would be amazing.

The goal is to help each other understand why we made three.

There is a problem with how much time we can earn when the Menmen's army approaches us.

The archbishop of the church demanded an arbitration of the Alliance of Three Nobles, and now the archbishop is heading south to do his job.

But I don't know if that's going to happen soon.

Perhaps the Menmen will attack without realizing it.

Alternatively, the Church may not be able to gather this year even if it speaks to the three nobles.

Either way, there was no guarantee that House Menmen would stop moving quietly.

So you have to be prepared for that.

In other words, we must buy time until the meeting is held by the Alliance of Three Nobles.

And what matters is that our forces should not be attacked and defeated.

Basically, when you cage a castle, you can barely buy time without reinforcements from the outside.

So we created multiple positions so that reinforcements could fly out of other positions if any of them were attacked.

"I'm worried. Are you sure you're okay?"

"What's the matter, General?

"No, you're happy to have a stronger defense position, Vargas. But can this position really prevent the Menmen from attacking? Once I think about it, I'm worried and I can't help it."

"What's the matter, you're a little weak, General?"

"... well, weren't you there when I fought Pessie? I was in a cage in a rush camp, and I thought I was going to die? Even though it was like burning a kiln in Uluk's [black chestnut], I was told that Carlos was coming for reinforcements many days before, so how hard it was."

"Well, I certainly wasn't there. But at that time, it was a position made of [wall architecture], right? This time, I'm building a higher position at the Atmos Wall. Is that okay?

"No, the top magic of the House of Menmen is not weak. As a family of three nobles, we are at the forefront of a struggle for hegemony. I don't feel anxious. I envy Valgas."

"Well, you might be worried about paying attention, but you can't help but freak out with someone who hasn't come yet."

"It's best if you don't come. Hmm, they're still on their way, the Menmen. It's taking longer than I thought."

"Yeah? No, it's not like this? I'm telling you, General, we Vulcans are moving pretty fast, huh? Normally, the other armies are slower."

"So different?

"Oh, I don't think so. Some of them put up roads in Fontana territory. Probably many times faster than other aristocratic armies. No, I don't know."

House Menmen's movements are checked one by one.

The information we have is getting north, approaching this interdiction point.

But the speed was slow.

I was worried that we might get here sooner and enter a state of engagement.

But that didn't happen.

The Menmen were moving slower than I thought.

According to Vargas, it was just that our Balkans were moving too fast.

Is that really true?

View the information you retrieved.

Apparently, the Menmen's army sometimes travel about 15 kilometers a day.

Although it has a width depending on the day, the distance traveled will not be more than doubled.

Does that mean that roughly 15-30 km is the army's mobility distance?

I thought it might be too short, but maybe it's what Vargas said.

Speaking of which, I remember the first time I fought the Uluks, the opponent was slow.

"... why don't you go see for yourself once?

"What? Hey, what's up, General? Are you going to see the Menmen's army?

"Oh, yes, Vargas. If this is going to take a while, I was wondering if I could actually go and see the Menmen."

"... you know, you're insane, General. I mean, I can't. The Menmen are headed this way through other aristocracy. I mean, on the contrary. If we're going to see the Menmen's army, the general has to go through the noble realm. I'm sure we can stop them at Sekijo."

"Sekijo... Sure, it's hard to scout all the checkpoints on the way. But it's okay, Vargas."

"Ah, what are you going to do now, General?"

"The Sekimo is only on the ground. Then we'll be fine if we don't get through the ground. I'm going to fly away."

When I said that to Balgas, he nodded with his hand on his head.

But I'm never wrong.

It's possible to move around without going through the troublesome gates.

This is how I set fire to the vehicle I brought from Vulcania.
