"Let's summarize the information for now." First of all, it was difficult to conquer the capital of Glugalia, which was fortified with the [Wall of Atmos]. Isn't that right, Ian? "

"I guess so." I can't do that wall by myself. What about Alphonse's [Meteor]? "

“I can't. I think it's too thick.”

Once, we interrupted the capitol's assault and discussed it.

First of all, there was agreement that repeating the attack as it was would be in vain.

Then, we will consider how it will move in the future based on that.

First, let's consolidate the policy.

It's the policy? If we don't make it in the short battle, reinforcements will come to this country.

"Well, I think Oliva is right." However, if you decide to fight in a short showdown, there is only one way to win. just a little bit.... "

“Is there a way to win? Then shouldn't we do it right away?”

"No, we can't do this alone." We need the power of Lassen in the Orient. "

"Is it Lord Lassen?" I'm sure you were a hole-digger. I see. I'm going to dig a hole under the wall. ”

"Yeah, maybe that's how we can take on Glugalia." as long as you have a magic stone full of magic power.

"But is Lord Alphonse reluctant to invest in that atmosphere?" If there is a clear way to win, I think we should do it immediately... "

"That's right." But that's better than Lassen. From now on, if the opposing base is surrounded by a wall, why don't you come to Rassen every time and help us conquer it? As an army, you can't say you're in a decent state, can you? "

Win a battle.

For that reason alone, I think the best thing to do is to summon Lassen.

But there was a feeling that it was right.

It's not good for him to be alone in his pussy.

That's why if Lassen leaves the Orient and goes to another country, he'll never be able to use that tactic again.

Maybe that's what scares me the most.

Rassen has the power to neutralize the wall's defenses.

If you're going to use his power, you might as well keep it here.

If you feel free to use it in this place and know the usefulness of its power, I think Rassen will continue to receive invitations from other countries.

It's not just about the money, it's also about trying to catch Lassen with all kinds of things.

Therefore, I didn't want to put Rassen's power on the surface if I could.

So I insist on finding a way to win without Lassen.

"Let's go with the idea of reversal." We want to fight in a short showdown, and Glugalia wants to fight for a long time. In that case, maybe we can win that long-lasting battle. "

"It's a protracted war, isn't it?" Well, the situation will always change on the battlefield, so it won't always be the way I imagined it, but the opposite is true. I'm not ready for a protracted war, am I? "

"No, that's okay." I asked Ai. "

"Do you want to be Speaker Ai? Ai, what did the chairman say?"

"Over the past few years, food has become abundant thanks to the strengthening of national power and land development. That's why you can fight for years in a long war. That's why I've got the eye's certification for now."

"Hmm. Really? If President Ai says so, I'm sure we can maintain our forces. However, more than ten countries are sending reinforcements to the Glugalia country. Even if we had enough food to feed the Orient army, it might be tough on the force, such as the difference in strength.”

"No, that's what Eye said." The Orient country has enough food to feed the army for years. But Glugalia probably doesn't have that kind of national power. In other words, even if reinforcements from more than ten countries arrive, Glugalia cannot feed them without starving them. I don't have that kind of leeway. "

"Is that true?" I see. If so, the Glugalian state has misplaced its strategy. Relying on reinforcements for enduring combat, the Glugalian nation does not have the strength to fight enduring combat. ”

"That's what I'm proposing." Build a base on the banks of the River Gru. We had to build a docking area surrounded by the [Atmos Wall]. So I arranged for the Magic Iron Ship to supply me with food. Equipped with ships, even if there are more than a dozen countries, the ships of the Orient will be no match on the river. So, when we're finished building our base, we'll use the cavalry to bake food in the villages and towns of Glugalia. When reinforcements from other countries arrive, it's like there's no food left, thoroughly. "

"I agree with Alphonse's plan." Lack of food means defeat. The warriors of Atmos know it well. "

"Is Ian in favor?" How about Oliva? "

"... I see. Now, let's get ready to create a base dock." Look at that, and if the Glugalia kingdom jumps out, it can fight with it. I think it's a good plan. "

Alright, let's get to work then.

In this way, the battle of the Orient against the Glugalia nation was transformed into a protracted war.
