Kikanshita Yuusha no Gojitsudan

Leaving the royal castle, Tia and I rode the dragonized Leiria's back and took a needle west.

I saw hundreds of people traveling as I flew over the streets. I think I saw a refugee in Wang Du. I'm guessing the people who heard about it are aiming for the King's Capital with their property because they say that the "Imperial Army Invasion" is being notified and evacuated not only to the local cities but also to the surrounding countryside.

A lot of people seem to notice this one because it is flying at relatively reduced altitudes, and they pass without a finger or noise.

There's nothing we can do right now, and we need to do something about the Imperial Army.

However, I saw a bunch of bandits and thought they were targeting the refugees about twice along the way, so I'll kick them off.

My magic and Laylia's braces blew up my roots and put them away, so they wouldn't be anywhere near attacking me.

If you keep flying like that for about two hours, you'll go through the barn zone and enter the forested mountains or hills.

The width of the streets is considerable, and the ups and downs are not so severe, but the terrain is difficult to operate a large army. Apparently, the Royal Army is forming ahead of us through here.

Perhaps he's going to draw the Imperial Army into thin streets and let the great army lose its interests and bring it into a protracted war.

A formation of the Royal Army was seen at the end of the street exit as if to back up that prediction. Hundreds of horse-rejecting spears are installed north and south of the formation.

A horse rejection spear is an object with a long tip pointing at one of the oblique bars with the letter A horizontally combined with the whole Tai, which was commonly used in old China during warfare.

Actually, there was no such thing in this world, but it works against monsters and warcraft that advance, so it could be something I suggested and spread. It was strange that horseback riding was used in wars between humans, but if you think about it, that's probably what it is because we've never heard of it outside of China in the history of the planet.

Anyway, although the Royal Army was rallying, there still seemed to be no open end to the war. He noticed this one. I can see the soldiers moving around in a hurry.

In the meantime, I decided to go down there because there were a number of places that were getting wider near the center of the formation where the tent was stretched.

People are in the way for Laylia to get off, but it's soldiers who are here, and they'll manage to avoid it.

I descend with an unparalleled momentum as I descend to the royal castle.

Yeah. That's the usual landing for Leiria. I miss you.

I found an eye-catching group in a bunch of soldiers & knights surrounding me.

After all, there is no such thing as a heavy military town in this world. Oh, great. Aura is amazing.

Find the person you're looking for in the center of that group and exhale, jumping with Tia at the same time.

The person screamed.

"Hey, why are you here!!

That sounds like a villain's line, doesn't it?

"Looks like you made it."

When I say so, I advance to the person and kneel as I approach him.

"It's been a long time, Your Highness. I have a letter from His Majesty the King."

Having said that, I gave the seal I had kept from the item box to His Highness Leon, the intended person.

His Highness still said something. He did, but for now, he decided to look through the script. Unseal the wax and check the contents.

"There are a lot of things I want to say and ask you, but, Yuya, are you sure about this letter that you're going to fight this battle?

"Yes."

When I do, the men who were around His Highness are all at once.

"Okay. Anyway, you came good. We have to change the operation. Come on."

That's what prompted us to the biggest tent.

Following His Royal Highness into the tent, there is a table inside, with several chairs to surround it.

Me and Laylia, Tia, stand in the chair by the entrance to the tent, probably because the deepest side will be His Highness's seat.

His Royal Highness sat first in the deepest seat as expected, followed by each of the heavy towns following His Royal Highness.

Oh. Bruno and Whisper were there too. Now if Mel was here, we would have had a brave party. Well, I guess Mel has to take care of Sy.

Our sight prompts us to take our seats.

"I'll check again first, but it must be for those guys to join the war, right? Whatever the tier is, Lord Leiria?

His Royal Highness, who knows that Leiria, the Black Dragon, will not intervene in the dispute of the principled people, dares to put it into words and confirm.

"It's only in the form of Leiria helping me."

That's what I say and partially affirm.

Her Royal Highness, who hears it, says "thank you" and gives a gentle salute.

"I'm sorry, but can you confirm the current number and composition of enemy allies, the expected Imperial Army tactics, and this operation?

We all know you're here, except for us, but there's nothing we can do without hearing about it.

His Royal Highness is hanging on the right when he snorts at one of my queries, surely it was the Knights Commander, or the General explained to me that he would turn his gaze to General Leggin.

"So far, the Empire has 20,000 heavily armed cavalry. Fifteen thousand light cavalry. 40,000 infantry, including warriors. The total number of 5,000 in archers and heavy squads is 80,000. Unfortunately, it is unclear how many magicians will be included one of these days. We have 20,000 Royal Army, 10,000 Imperial Army, 5,000 United Cities, and 38,000 Forged Army, mainly adventurers. The breakdown of the soldier species is 6,000, 2,000 for heavily armed cavalry, 6,000, 3,000, 2,000 for lightly armed cavalry, 5,000, 4,000, 2,500 for infantry and archers, and 1,200, 5,000, 5,000, 5,000, 5,000, 500 for magic soldiers in the kingdom, empire, and coalition."

Hmm. That's twice as good.

Apparently, it's not as hopeless a battle force difference as I feared.

Of course, it's obvious that I'm unfavourable, and where I joined the war, I couldn't have wiped out 42,000 different armies on my own.

I wish I could use extensive extermination magic, like some Lanobe double-headed character, but Hate I don't have the power to make a big army unrivalled to my opponents because I have thoroughly trained my one-point breakthrough combat skills to be able to fight Demon King & Evil God within a limited period of time.

Of course, a demon king who was a prominent demon tribe or an evil god who is a god in the first place would be able to do that, as could Leiria, a black dragon. And I myself have the ability to fight such outrageous people. but I can't do the same for myself. Because the ability to fight against large armies versus individually is something completely different.

If a hundred or a thousand is the opponent, I'm sure I can handle it, but I won't have any more magic or strength.

That is why when we fought against the army of demon kings and evil gods, nations needed to name their total strength. The Empire doesn't seem to have cited total power.

That's out of line.

Anyway, the difference in power is unfavourable, but if it's about twice as good, it's a lot to do.

In fact, if winning or losing is to be said to be the more overwhelming difference in force, we need at least six times as many. That is also on the assumption that we are able to set a battlefield large enough to deploy troops. Otherwise, the vast majority of the difference in force becomes mere Rangers.

Generally, large armies are said to favor each other because of differences in resilience to damage. For example, if 80,000 troops and 40,000 troops fought, assuming that both sides would cause 20,000 damage, one would be 60,000 troops, but the other would be half 20,000. The ratio falls to one-third even with the same 40,000 force difference. That means there's a difference in endurance.

Conversely, it means that in the short term, even widows can be confronted.

In fact, the battle of the Red Wall of the Three Kingdoms and the battle of Nobunaga Oda's barrel narrow in Earth's history would be famous examples of more than five times the difference in force overshadowed by short-term showdown and ruse.

We need to decide on the battle at once without taking up time this time.

First, if the time passes, there will be more victims for that matter. We cannot undermine the power of the nation by saying that the rebuilding of the battle against evil gods has only just begun.

That's why this invasion of the Empire is unforgivable.

Let me put it on before I drop it.

"A report from the scouts expects a command car and a heavy force to be placed behind it with a light infantry on the right wing, a heavy cavalry on the left and a heavy cavalry and infantry unit in the centre, possibly in basic form from the placement of the Imperial Army formation and the terrain of the plain. Perhaps the Imperial Army carried out an assault with a central heavy cavalry, in the meantime letting the right-wing troops bypass and poke the back of our Army and refuse to exit before the left-wing heavy cavalry split our Army back and forth, attacking it with a central infantry"

I see. Ah, the first half of the moon is a semi-circular formation swollen on the other side.

Well, it's actually an orthodox, because basically the more you become a large army, the less freedom you have in formation. Otherwise, more Rangers won't take advantage of the force difference. It would be ideal to surround and destroy it if it were, but it can't be done about twice as well, and I can't siege it because this one is forming near the eastern edge of the plain first. I guess that's why there's no alternative to that formation.

That's exactly what I expected. You don't have to waste my prep either.

"You've been working on this one from the beginning. I didn't expect you to join the war. Any thoughts?

His Royal Highness continued to take over the general's explanation.

I snorted at the question,

"We need to decide on the battle in as short a time as we can, more than there is a difference in force. Besides, the less sacrifice you make to rebuild the battle ahead, the better."

I snort at my words. but Whisper asks, frowning.

"Yuya, you wouldn't be willing to do Fort Gardas, would you?

He named the fort we took down when we fought the Demon King's Army.

He looks so disgusting at you for making his own name.

"When it comes to Fort Gardas, the magic of Lord Brave has wiped out 10,000 demon kings, but the fort itself has become unusable due to its effects, is that it?

Did I mention General Vistas of the Empire or something? The man asked Whisper.

"Not only is the fort no longer available, but the soldiers on my side who saw it fell off more than 20% with trauma. And it's not magic, it's the ability of the subpoena."

Whisper's guy described me with a jitsy eye.

Fort Gardas is the fortress that the Demon King's Army used as a bridgehead when it attacked the south.

It was in the valley of the mountains and a very nasty fort for the coalition of neighboring countries to fight back as soon as they fled into this fort, even if they destroyed the demon king army that attacked them. Since I could not use the location pattern, the number of attacks or the siege weapon, I used the ability of "balls" to gather some insects from a few kilometers around me and multiply them by the shade of night. From some, he is the one who can be scared of the 'black devil'. Aren't they the majority of people who originally live in mountains and forests? Besides, I eat anything with omnivores. Travel around and collect the sole with the maximum effective range, roughly a billion. Around 100,000 demon kings were attacked by one sole in the fort. In just a few hours, the demon kings were wiped out.

The next morning I manipulated Sole and the others back to their original location before entering the fort, but most of the soldiers who broke into it became feathers producing a large quantity of Monjayaki, including ours. The situation inside is a completely mosaic project. All the people who could use fire magic burned down the inside of the fort because countless eggs had also been laid down. No, that was terrible.

"We don't have time and the place is bad this time. I won't do it."

"If the conditions are right, it's fucking you."

Whisper tells my response.

I don't mean to like it, but I'd do anything with less sacrifice on my side, right? I am.

So I decide to move on.

"Who are the adventurers in command?

Bruno answered the question.

"Adventurers cannot be integrated into the military chain of command. The A-rank party, which is now based in the kingdom, is at the center of it and has it compiled. I was going to get you to move in an aggressive position for once."

Equipment, traits, and ways of fighting are different from normal soldiers. That's right.

"May I have those people?

Bruno nods and gives instructions to the knight who is holding back at the entrance when I ask him to.

The knight spoke to another knight and then ran off to execute the instructions.

He'll call me in a little bit.

While waiting for that, I will explain my plan to the Heavy Towns who are here as they take the items prepared in Japan out of the item box.

"... then you will be able to break down the Imperial Army with minimal damage. But the burden on you and your adventurers is enormous. Besides, are you ready in time?

"Let the adventurers put in all the magic soldiers of the kingdom and coalition to back it up. I think if we get ready right away, we'll get some time to rest the magicians who can use the engineers and the local attributes until the war starts. After that, I think we need to see a little bit how effective the" sole "brought by Lord Brave is, but if it's not a problem, we can expect enough results."

General Leggin responds to His Highness's concerns.

The other heavy towns were sneering loudly as they agreed with a grin.

"Leiria asks for a light cavalry on the right wing of the Imperial Army, as explained. There is no need to destroy them all. If we crush it around the commander of the unit, we'll have to pull it off. Tia, get on Leiria's back and find the commander you think is more than Squadron Leader and instruct Leiria."

"Yes!"

"Hmm. I'll take care of it. Then if I were you, I could put the main unit together and destroy it, okay?

Tia replied honestly to my words, but Laylia seems a little dissapointed.

"Essentially, this is a war between kingdom and empire. Originally a brave man of the kingdom, I am a horn and a dragon tribe that was not supposed to interfere in human strife. Problems may arise in the future. I'd like to keep it in the context of support this time."

This war is a fight that the Empire sold to the surrounding states, starting with the kingdom. I want to avoid that because if the parties are not as central as possible, they will have to be held accountable until the end.

When I finished giving an overview of the operation and started talking about specific arrangements and steps for everyone, I heard a knight's call from the outside.

"The adventurer party 'Minotaur's Fang' has arrived better"

... Minotaur is a cow-headed monster, right? Did you have fangs?

Before that, that's what you meant by "King Minos' cow," right? Why is there a minotaur in a different world that has nothing to do with Greece?

Four men came in through the entrance to the tent feeling like adventurers when I was doing such a scratch in my brain.

He is a gatimucci old man who does not carry a weapon on a boulder now but all wrapped in leather armor with a body that has been stretched up to length.

The levels are all over 200 and the status is high. You'll have a good deal of strength.

Even in front of the heavy towns of the army, you can't see how cowardly they are.

As far as it goes, it only brings together adventurers with strong habits.

"I asked for you."

I greet His Royal Highness as the first big man comes in. And look at me like I'm surprised.

"I called because I want to ask you to cooperate with the operation. Uh, may I ask your name?

When I answered, I started introducing myself to the man next to the first man.

"I was surprised to hear you were home. I'm Bini Bourne. A shield."

"Blue Film. Spears."

"Elou Gemania. I also do proximity, but basically I'm in charge of magical support"

And the first big man.

"I was surprised, too. It's an honor to fight with the brave again. I'm the leader of this Minotaur Fang, Electric Cock."

Everyone greeted me. I'm an adventurer with a lot of ramblings, but humanity seems good. But!

"... all out!

"" "" "Why!?

I don't know why!

Bini Bourne, Blue Film, Erogamania! Especially the fourth!! What if you forced Nocturne to move!!

"... well, no. Anyway, thank you."

Refresh your mind and explain the operation.

Ask the adventurer to take charge of the key position of this operation.

That means the adventurers have to stop the Imperial Army left-wing heavy-duty cavalry. If it can't be stopped, this main unit will be cut off by a heavily armed cavalry coming in from the right.

And only the adventurers can do this.

Upon hearing the explanation, the members also seemed to have a good understanding of the reasons and importance.

"Enough to be done. Soitz will certainly only be able to be an adventurer. I'll take care of it. Let's make it stop!

That's what I said and laughed with a fierce face that let the fighting spirit roll.

All four have the same look.

I can tell you how reliable it is.

"The name sucks though."

"" "" "Why!?

Either way, we need to get ready.

Finally, the battle begins tomorrow.
