"Hey, Ars. The work over there is finished."
"Thank you, part-time brother. Then we'll go over there."
"... hey, didn't I come here to do civil engineering work like this? I'm here to help Kyle acquire territory."
"I know. But now that Kyle's pulling troops out, my part-time brother's in charge of the defense here. If you go out on your own, Kyle will be in trouble."
"Wow. I'm just saying. Ah, but fight. I wonder if it's time.
"Well, you don't like it either. Kyle said I could leave it to my part-time brother."
"But they're not going to listen to Kyle go out there right now, are they? Are you already fighting?
"That's right. Maybe now is the time to fight. Well, maybe after winning already.... ah, looks like someone's back. Is that the Virgin who followed Kyle?
The Reed family outpost on the banks of the Holy Lake.
I was working there with my part-time brother, who was coming to reinforce me.
Based on the city blueprints Kyle prepared, Bite Brother leads the engineers to build walls and roads, and I'll tailor the sewage treatment to the town.
But apparently my part-time brother, who should have led the army as a force, was a little dissatisfied with it.
How dare you think that you are so eager to fight.
But I couldn't get my part-time brother out first.
It's no good that my part-time brother, who just came to help fight, is too active.
Because this battle is only for the land, but also for future rule.
I think bandits who insist on never giving the House of Leads control may need the strength of their part-time brothers.
But not now.
All we need now is to show our strength as a leader.
That's why Kyle stepped in.
And she also went to see the Blue Virgin Mirialia, the chairman of the Sacred Capital Reconstruction Committee, who had teamed up with the fight as a collaborator.
Follow the lead army and see for yourself whether Kyle can leave the land to him.
The Reed army then appealed to rebuild the Holy City, which leads to the cause.
That's why I saw Mirialia returning.
So you've already seen the battle?
No, maybe it was long after the battle was over that you came back.
To confirm that, we decided to welcome back Miriam and listen to what the war was like.
"Welcome back, Virgin. Are you done with the lead battle?
"... yes. Without a problem, they suppressed the bandits who were building the ground around the village of Albedo and brought the area into the realm of forces."
Really? That's good. Are there any injuries? Was there any danger?
"Yes, there was nothing wrong. Thank you for your concern, Als Barca."
"... was there anything that bothered you? It's a little strange."
"No, that's not true. However, I have a few thoughts about the lead army I was visiting... Kyle Reed led an army at that age, and you've been on the battlefield many times, right? Is it always like that?
"Huh? I don't know why I was there this time, even though I was always told. It's just that... Kyle is strong as an individual, but he is strong as a commander. Would it feel more like commanding an army to fight than showing yourself fighting in front of you like me or my part-time brother?"
"... I see. Actually, I didn't quite understand when I said it clearly. I followed the lead and saw the battle. But I didn't know if the lead was strong or weak."
"Don't you see? The Reed Army won, didn't they? There's nothing wrong with the bandits, and they don't look dangerous."
"Yes, but from my point of view, it seemed to have ended too easily. It was as if there was no obstacle, just moving troops to the opponent's base and fighting each other. But nothing happened and I felt like I was winning sometime.... Honestly, I don't know how strong the Reed Army is, but I thought the bandits might have been too weak."
Oh, I see.
Apparently, she felt that way when she saw the Reed army and the bandits.
No big moves, no flashy developments, just a normal victory.
That's why Mirialia couldn't discern the power of the leader, even though she went out of her way to follow the army and watch the battle.
But I don't think this is just because the bandits were weak.
After all, it was originally a bunch of rubbish who could use all their magic, so other nobles and knights were burning their hands.
And yet, the bandits looked weak because Kyle's way of fighting had changed considerably.
Perhaps it should be called too good, rather than too good.
Until now, there has been a theory in the world that should be said to be a traditional way of fighting.
Nobles use their troops to fight.
In that case, the aristocrats give orders to the knights under their command.
Have each knight gather the peasants to form an army and head to the battlefield.
In other words, the aristocratic army was also a collection of small knights.
Of course, there is no technology for long-range communication with machines or the like.
So if the knights were to assemble a small group and the nobles were to fight, they would have issued a rough order as commanders.
For example, Carlos, the ancestral king of Fontana, could only command the Balkans of the Fontana army to go west and fight.
After that, the Vulcan army's behavior was not Carlos, it was just my judgment on the spot.
But the Reed army is different.
Kyle is leading a lead force of only about 5,000.
But I'm giving all of them magic.
The magic of Kyle, the magic of House Reed.
In other words, all the soldiers who make up the army can use the magic of "Minute Story" and "Parallel Processing".
Yes, in short, Kyle is able to give orders in real time and simultaneously to all the soldiers that make up the army.
That is why we are moving our troops with detailed instructions so that no one will be delayed even if we march.
Mirialia has never seen such an army before.
At Kyle's will, 5,000 soldiers must have been a single creature moving hand and foot to fulfill orders from top thoughts.
And, of course, Kyle was brilliant in his mind when he was running such an army.
Fight and win.
They can calculate everything, including how they should move for that purpose, what they should do to end the fight with minimal damage, or the shortest possible time.
So the battle between the Reed and the Bandits must have been a very difficult one.
It's like fighting a world champion-class fighter and a de amateur, or a chess champion and his junior amateur.
I wonder if the battle ended without even knowing what was strong.
Looking at the results alone, it appears that the lead forces won the battle almost intact.
For this reason, Mirialia also found out that the lead army was strong.
But I didn't understand the magnitude of it by treating it indifferently and winning without flashy rewards.
Well, the way Kyle fights, I guess, is that he likes Xuan Man.
Perhaps the better he has been in command of the battlefield, the more surprised he was to see the battle from the outside.
But in the position of archbishop of the church, in the sacred capital of Miriam, it was completely incomprehensible.
Perhaps you should have prepared a commentary if you wanted to follow the lead and see how the battle went.
I thought of that when I heard the story of Mirialia.
But Kyle didn't have time to do that, and he kept on fighting, crushing bandits everywhere and subjugating them.
