Isaac

Defeat (2)

“…… the Marquis is postponing the payment? ”

“Yes, it looks like the war is going to be long, so I think we're trying to cut as much spending as we can to fund the war. ”

“How much? ”

“At the end of the war, you get paid in batches. ”

“Then the hardest things to eat right now would be sitting on the street floor. Is the Administrative Office going to stand by?”

The compensation paid to the survivors of the warrior box is a principle of immediate payment. That way you can make a living. Moreover, if the erl loses the war, all burdens must be borne by the erl, and if the erl complains that it is the erl's responsibility, it will pass for a year in the legal workshop, during which time the survivors must suck their fingers. Therefore, the Administration cannot tolerate it.

“It's... I think it's because of us. ”

“Why?”

“It was an excuse for the mysterious caretaker to support the families through the colored group. ”

“Tsk. Any town that wants to eat out of favor." Well, that's one of the perks of being human, but it's even weirder without it. But one of those excuses is too weak to accept it? ”

“Looks like the Operations Nation's breathing down your neck. ”

“You're doing all sorts of stupid things. ”

It was clear that a tactical nation with no good feelings for Isaac was involved. If the war is prolonged, we can transfer all the funds that will occur to Isaac, the mission's subject.

Even if you have a lot of money, you will have to suffer pretty painful damage if you continue. I urge you to make a mistake because I don't want to ruin the money. I can see the intention of the operational nation if it succeeds and fails.

“What do you want me to do? ”

“If this is enough, I'll think twice or three times before I touch it. How far can I go? I tried to be reasonable, but I couldn't. ”

“…… What are you going to do? ”

Saints looks anxious for Isaac's muttering.

“You know the new Head of Public Relations from the Marquis? ”

“Yes, the late Earl's troubled youngest son, Earl Einz, is in charge. ”

“My youngest? The idiot who ruined the war? The Marquis is just trying to keep him here because he's in trouble. Thanks to you, things are easy. ”

“Shall I call it in?”

“Hmm? What are you going to do with him? Tell the boss to treat him very, very seriously. Drinks, women, gambling, whatever you want. If I tell him to make me owe him so much, he'll take care of it. ”

“You want to erase the debt even if the erl wins? ”

“Debts? To pay off debts. By the way, these masters are always the problem with their children. Is it the Marquis because he's a bastard?”

I don't know what the bastard meant by that, but I could tell he was joking. And my heart is filled with horror as I try to surpass everyone's expectations.

After the first operation, Isaac receives information from Newport City and only gives instructions. The agents followed closely whether they didn't want to see the frenzied behavior again. They raided the Supply Depot and the Supply Depot, handed over supplies to the Saints, and hunted down those suspected to be renegades from the Earl's forces.

After what happened at the Marquis Supply Depot, Libria has been monitoring and reporting Isaac's every waking moment as a thorough watcher to see if something has gone wrong, but she is sometimes dumbfounded and worries about those around her.

Either way, Isaac is relaxed and spends his free time giving orders to the guards divided into three groups. A few important operations led Libria on their own, each with numerous casualties, including damage to civilians and property.

One day, the war between the Earl and the Earl was long overdue. Even though the Great War ended within a month, no one could have predicted that this war would end even after one month of fierce judgments about who would benefit from it, and the battle of pruning ice grew more and more worrying.

“Get the job done quickly?" I don't suppose there's a specific time frame. ”

Isaac grumbles and grumbles at communications from Magellan.

- You don't think you know what you're doing?

With Magellan's cold-looking attitude, Isaac shrugs without any emotion.

“I didn't keep it a secret, but it's stupid not to know. ”

- …… Each and every one of them is a valuable member of the Empire.

“Well, I don't really feel that way because I'm not from around here. ”

- Isaac!

In Magellan's old age, Isaac replied with a bitter smile.

“You're not a dying Imperial citizen, are you? Aren't empire nobles pitiful and wasteful soldiers? ”

-... did you notice?

“You're an idiot not to know. No, you didn't leave that up to me? ”

Magellan sighs deeply.

- How much do you know?

“Do I need to know that much? All I have to do is complete my mission. ”

- Look at him, he's in the Tributes.

“What about you? ”

- We've got tons of munitions, and you've got tons of inventory.

“I'm not close enough to look into their situation. ”

- You made enough, didn't you?

“It's just extra income, you know. But I can't say I shouldn't be rude to you because you asked me to. The war will be over before winter comes. ”

- That's too long!

Isaac frowns as if in trouble at Magellan's cry.

“You didn't think I'd find you secretly sabotaging the entire operation? No, not secretly, but openly. I've put up with all of that, and Operations can't keep up with the winter? ”

You know you don't like anyone, right? And by winter, Pendleton will be in.

“No, what's wrong with you? You don't have a reason. ”

When Magellan mentioned Pendleton, Isaac said with an absurd expression.

Duke Pendleton has endured much of his temper. The queen and the emperor rarely stop it, but even the emperor is getting worse because of your behavior. The queen alone has limits.

“Speaking of which, what did she learn as a child? How can a girl be so naive with a sword? ”

From the Duke of Pendleton's point of view, as far as possible.

“Wow! My dear daughter, live in a bright world with only the best things in the world. I'll take care of the darkness. What, like this? ”

- That's it…….

“Oh, my God. Did you try to screw the Duke, or would Pendleton just nod? ”

- Anyway, Duke Pendleton's on the run. If he gets involved, we don't know how to fix him, so finish him before he blows up.

“Tsk. Let's finish this before the fall is over. ”

- That…….

“I gave it my best effort. ”

In Isaac's words, Magellan finally shuts up.

Earl Wolfgang was appalled at the report less than a day after the triumphant war broke out. Collapse of the Rhinelandic forces due to a mysterious surprise.

I barely took care of the troops that had been defeated so quickly, and only half of the troops survived. Due to lack of information, news of the destruction of Lineland and the command cavalry from a desperate patrol force has silenced the Earl.

The Earl's army, which was trying to push the tide of the war at once, had to bite the army back. The Earl immediately filed a formal lawsuit with the Central Administrative Office because the raid in the absence of a war judge was a violation of a treaty that could be confiscated.

However, the unbelievable news was sent back before the day passed. The Marquis of Lichten also said that the security forces of the town that were used as supply nodes on the march route were exterminated and military supplies were plundered.

At first, I doubted the Autobiography of the late Lichten, but I couldn't help but overhear the news that the guards and the hired villagers had died.

The second supply hit, civilian deaths from the war, was unusual, so the war was no longer an issue.

A situation in which Central must intervene. The Earl strongly protested, pointing the finger at the Earl of Lichten as the culprit, while the Earl of Lichten condemned the plot of the Earl of Re.

When the rumors went back and forth, Central, after an unusually short investigation, declared that the group that destroyed the Rhinelandic troops and raided the supply node was an outlaw group called the Black Bandits, a group of deserted Stragglers and fugitives who fled after the aftermath of the war irrespective of the sheep families, giving orders to kill the Earl and the Marquis.

In the meantime, the prince marched past the erl because the order of the end of the war had not been issued, and the outraged erl Wolfgang stepped forward to avenge his comrades.

Pushing and pushing the war into the long run kept a tight balance, which made the Earl of Wolfgang even more impressive.

Clearly the battle is a winning streak. I have never lost my tactical advantage thanks to the incompetent commanders of the Marquis. But it was crazy to lose in the war.

“I got beat up again! ”

Boom!

Earl Wolfgang throws his fist at the table without restraining his anger. Now I can forget even counting the times.

The plan to end the war within a month of the short-term struggle has already passed. The war that began in the summer has already entered the fall.

A little more time to harvest. Given the movement of the merchants that distribute logistics, the battlefield itself can be reduced. When the battlefield is reduced as an Earl who is defeated in the number of troops, the focused Earl's troops will collapse unconditionally with limited maneuverability.

In such a situation, the main unit was unable to rest properly due to a surprise attack by a group of funny names, the Black Bandits, which decreased their morale and stamina.

There was no choice but to increase the escort force in the continuing annihilation of the supply bases and supplies, and the evacuation of the combat troops made the situation even more difficult.

The Earl wasn't the only one who was killed. I used it as bait to set up a fake supply station and ambush the supply station. However, these black bandits, without hesitation, broke the Earl's elite with force.

I could not think of this as the power of one Bandit. Survivors were afraid that they would call bandits slaughtering their comrades white devils, wearing hoods and eyeholes.

His name is Black, but why is he the White Devil? He made a joke mixed with his own mind. Soon after the bandits realized that his cape and hood had become black and that the raw materials were the blood of loyal soldiers, he trembled. This was not caused by the aftermath of the war, but by a militant group that was organized from the beginning.

“Even the Marquis has suffered considerable damage. ”

The Earl's Chief of Staff and Earl Wolfgang's motivator, HYLLIEN, mutters bitterly. In fact, there are many more victims of the Marquis of War. The Earl Army remained vigilant while only capable commanders recovered the troops, but the Earl Army, which was mostly idiotic commanders, was so messed up that the commander had to pack up and run away with a single cry of black bandits.

So it cannot be properly controlled and there can be no trust in the commander of the soldiers. However, the army of the Marquis of Corruption transformed into a band of bandits.
