Episode 141: Marquis Pippin's miscalculation

"Stupid, he said Baron Zawerhardt refused a saddle change over this period!

All the time, and the Marquis Pippin grew out of his long jaw, wielding a long long jaw beard, and went mad.

Because I don't want to stumble in the war, I even promised Zawerhardt Count status after the war.

I didn't expect you to refuse to open the castle after giving me so many favorable conditions.

Sawerhardt thought Pippin was incredible when he saw me as a man who was brilliant at profit, but he thought I'd seen him wrong.

"I can't believe you're going to betray me while I keep you up to your inner promises for once!

"No, aren't we the ones who betrayed you?

It was Zephyransas Silva, the head of the mercenary regiment hired for this battle, who was next to the Marquis Pippin and twitched.

Zephyransas is twenty-eight years old, beautiful and sturdy from the Kingdom of Roland, wearing a helmet of cirlit with a long, habitual dark hair with hemispherical visor.

Underneath the black coat, a sturdy clasp (ring-mail) is worn to add estock.

Rather than a mercenary, he's a smart, elegant, aristocratic, faceted man, but Pippin doesn't even like to talk about senior aristocrats.

Unless you're the leader of a regiment of two thousand great mercenaries, you're just firing them.

Just glare with your eyes and ignore. Noblemen of high temperament do not deal with the scratches of the lower bitches either.

"Humph, I guess the enemy soldiers say it's about a thousand and five hundred at best. I can only say that it is foolish to stop at the castle and block the way of our army"

I'm not stupid with the Marquis Pippin.

In addition to the Knights of the local nobility army five hundred horsemen, attached to the local nobility side, a total of two thousand and five hundred of the First and Second Regiments. Three thousand recruits, two thousand Zephyransas mercenaries.

Eight thousand soldiers in total.

I don't know how many castles I defend, but I wonder what I can do with more than five times my strength in front of me.

That being said, I have to admit that there was a miscalculation in the Marquis Pippin.

The Marquis Pippin, confident of his ability as a connoisseur, did not even envisage the failure of "measures of internal response" to Baron Zawerhardt.

So I prioritized the speed of the march and did not accompany the siege weapon.

From now on, it will take a lot of time to get it to the front line.

Perhaps Cage Castle, which appeared to respond internally, was Zawerhardt's measure.

Out of my mind, I didn't care to think he might be a mighty enemy.

If you were to pee, reinforcements would arrive at the king's army that is caged.

The current situation spares every minute and second of flipping an anti-flag against the Queen.

The Marquis of Pippin, who is only strategically capable, had to realize that dark clouds were standing in the way of his future while leading as many as eight thousand large armies.

But I can't make weak noises in front of the first or second regiment commanders or outside mercenary regiments commanders.

"What will you do, Marquis?"

"In the meantime, surround the castle and try again when I make an immediate offer to open the castle"

The truth is, I'd like to tell you to take it down at once, but the star-shaped castle of Dot is a robust castle with five side towers to consolidate your defense.

This is the big army, not to say you can't attack and drop it.

But the moat of Dot's castle is deep, and the walls are high. He attacked at once and didn't know how much damage would happen, nor how long it would take to drop it again.

Soldiers, time, from now on, attacked the territory of the Est Marquis, both of which could not be lost for the Marquis Pippin to approach the Royal Castle.

Marquis Pippin ran his own horse and shouted out loud as he went out in front of the soldiers surrounding the castle.

"It is the General of the Orthodox Royal Silesier Army, Marquis Pipin Nant Burgund. Please, I would like you to consider opening the castle once. As it is, there will be unhelpful sacrifices!

When I heard the Marquis Pippin scream, a familiar, dull, silver-haired man appeared on the outer contour tower he pasted outside. Dot Castle owner, Baron Zawerhardt.

"Marquis Pippin, I'm sorry to hear that. I am the queen's loyal minister, even if I look like this. I don't take the side of traitors like you."

Once the man who responded to betrayal, Pippin was annoyed to say bullshit. Baron Zawerhardt's background so far is a series of betrayals.

I just think it's a good idea for a man like that to speak of loyalty.

"Said he was loyal to the queen! So you admit that a half-elf flair makes you queen? Dear Bonjour of the prestigious Blanc family, you deserve to be the rightful king of the Silesier kingdom."

"You took charge of the twelve-year-old and said well with the Orthodox King."

Baron Zawerhardt just looked down at Pippin and had an ironic laugh.

"Okay, okay, then Baron Zawerhardt. I'll give him the whole Est Marquis. Then don't complain!

"Well, all the marquis territory? That's fancy..."

Baron Zawerhardt rubbing his jaw, tilting his neck for an imaginary look.

All right, this guy still works in rewards. I can drop it in one more step. When I thought so, a blonde girl in black armor next door opened her mouth.

"Oh, Baron. Don't believe a man like that. Even children won't be fooled into giving me the territory I haven't even taken yet."

"Hahaha, it's convincing when deputy general Sarah says. You're right. Drop Est Hou Luen before you say it."

"What are you, kid? Pull in. I'm talking to the castle owner!

"Oh, say hello to the kids. I'm also the general of this army."

The blonde said so when she strained her thin breasts high.

A boy next door, with the blue flag of the kingdom of Silesier, looks down on this one. Baron Zawerhardt doesn't say anything either.

"Ha, don't be ridiculous! Little girl talking nonsense."

"Shall I raise the name of the General? I'm Sarah Rod, acting general of Sado Takel. Have you seen the Marquis Pippin once in the king's capital, Silesier?"

"Stupid, you mean you put a child in a deputy general..."

That being said, I think it could be.

Because Pippin finally remembered the face of his little blonde daughter.

However, as the leader of the regiment of the King's Capital at the Silesier meeting, he was a child who was rambling around with a lowlife soldier of peasant origin.

Even though I find that abominable, he says it's the same general as himself!

"Idiots are that way, I am the deputy general of Silesier's brave men, led by the Kingsguard Musketeers, a sergeant in the elite of the Yoshiyoshi Corps. You don't think weak aristocrats can beat us."

Do peasant children fool the nobleman, Pippin?

Though the sophisticated Marquis Pippin, he could not forbid frustration with this.

If you follow him, he is the head of the Burgund family, who was the chief minister of the founding king Renth.

What that Silesier brave man says after he leaves power wanting, this country has gone crazy.

Marquis Pippin, descended from the righteous aristocracy, was also aroused by the desire to correct the country's disturbance as a senior aristocrat since its founding.

I'm not saying I don't have a personal appetite. But there was also a sense of purpose that I wanted to do something about the current kings' pulse.

"With half an elf as queen, the next thing I know, the peasant child is the general! What are you guys thinking? How far can we fool the Silesier traditions and formats of more than two hundred and forty years"

Marquis Pippin couldn't tell everyone.

Bacun and a fierce shooting noise shot down his beard with a long bullet.

"Chip, did you take it off"

Sarah set it up, smoke was rising from the mouth of the fire rope gun.

Pippin looks up at it as incredible.

"Hiya! That's cowardly, we're still talking. Ooh!

Plus, sparks scatter from new artillery.

Marquis Pippin, sniped by Sarah and the others, fled desperately.

"You can die now that we're done talking."

"Bye!

From behind, a bullet flies out making a light noise with Pashn Pashn.

Unexpectedly clever, bullets rubbed against the buttocks of the Pippin Marquis fleeing to the zigzag, and bullets and armor scattered fierce sparks with friction.

"Um, okay. Miscellaneous fish."

Such Sarah's voice reached the ears of the Marquis Pippin, who fled back to the soldiers of his allies with these bodies.

(Miscellaneous fish, say this Burgundian Pippin Nant Burgund is a Miscellaneous fish!

"Are you all right, Marquis Pippin"

"Ha ha......, eh don't touch it!

The fallen Marquis Pippin rose so angry that he turned bright red on his face and hot air stood from his head as he bounced off the hand of Zephyransas, the mercenary regiment leader who tried to help him.

"So, let's do it, Marquis."

"Let's not even hear it, the enemies who cage are the widows. Attack them all at once and eradicate no one left in the castle!

Pippin returned to the main unit and sat at the floor table with such an attitude as to not be angry when ordered to do so.

"Behold, the idolaters, think of what will happen if they provoke this pippin."

If this happens anymore, it's not the time to spare soldiers.

Eight thousand to five hundred fights, a battle that could never have been lost.

"Why, while surrounded by five times as many soldiers, why don't you fall!

"That's a robust Dot Castle, a four-man cannon set up on the side tower, with that artillery. If you pull it together and attack it, you'll be blown by cannons, and if you try to climb apart and stick it against the wall, you'll be sniped by an iron bullet. That's very nice of you."

The Marquis Pippin was abominable to the head of the mercenary regiment, who spoke as calmly as every other person.

We can't afford to be eating time with this, even the enemy will send reinforcements to the front line.

In that case, the advantages of numbers will not last forever.

We can't afford to be snooping around here.

"If you do it with artillery, you'll have it deployed here too."

"It looks like they're letting us use it to recruit peasants, but the numbers and conditions are different over there"

The triumph of the Kingdom of Silesier over the Germanian Empire was the great power of the new weapons.

Pippin, who witnessed it, secretly purchased it from a blacksmith in the Yeh Mountains and properly deployed it.

Even the Marquis Pippin does what he does.

But I was just letting him do it, and I didn't understand its nature.

"When it comes to numbers, isn't this the one with the number of soldiers?"

"Artillery is a flying tool, so it's not so different from a mechanical bow. Shooting from the top is too different from shooting from the bottom up."

In addition to the regional noble armies, the King's Army of Silesier is turning the new Germanian Imperial Army against its enemies.

I don't expect to lose, but I wanted to avoid falling glued while I couldn't do anything, even though I said I flipped the anti-flag because of it.

As Marquis Pippin, I would have liked to have absorbed the territory of the Kingdom of Silesier as best I could before it was taken by a foreign country.

This simply ends with playing the Castilian Spirit.

"I don't want to hear any excuses, what do you think you paid the mercenaries for?"

"But if you have a siege, you should have prepared a siege weapon. It's too unbearable to deal with a robust castle with a scythe alone."

I couldn't tell you to shut up.

It is indeed Pippin's fault for not assuming the enemy's cage castle and failing to prepare for it.

"Still do it!

"Well, if you tell me to do it, we'll do mercenaries."

The fierce offensive at Dot Castle continues in an extended manner.

Exactly five times the strength is huge. Finally, it was when I buried the outer moat and one of the side towers tried to drop it.

Late at night, a fireman rose from the curtain building of the local noble army.

To a sudden disturbance in the middle of the night, he said, "Wow, it's an enemy night attack!" and the captain of the knight under his command came and knelt before the Marquis of Pippin, who jumped out of bed in haste.

"What, what's going on"

"I'm sorry, my army conscripts are turning to the enemy one after the other. The curtain was burned and the peasant militia flipped the anti-flag."

Marquis Pippin doubted his ears to the words of the captain of the knight, who was commanding three thousand conscripts.

This war, incredible things are happening one after another.

"What, betrayal etc. No way...... No one else, but the people of my land!

Yes, but it's a conscription of peasants, but it's a regiment of local residents ruled by the Burgunds for years.

That can't be turning back on the enemy. No, it's unacceptable!

"That's the strange rumor that broke out during a conscript who was grieving after being forced into a tough battle in a siege..."

"What, say it quickly"

"That means that if the King's army of Silesiers wins, they'll be exempt from taxes for a year."

"What, with such nondescending rumors, that the peasants of the territory have betrayed"

With that...... and again the Marquis Pippin snaps powerless.

Could it be that the inhabitants that the Burgunds have ruled for two hundred and forty years betray each other with a tax exemption of only one year?

"To cure chaos, we don't have to promise tax exemption."

"Don't be silly, how much you think this war cost, the Burgunds are going bankrupt!

On the tent of the Marquis Pippin, Zephyransas, the head of the mercenary regiment, came in.

"Your Excellency the Marquis is right. Promising tax exemptions and other comforts will cure the rebellion of the Territorial Army that happened once."

"Zephyransas, what are you doing? Just crack it down!

Marquis Pippin yelled at me.

The words of the mercenary leader, Zephyransas, sounded ironic. It was the Pippin Marquises regional nobility who raised the rebel soldiers. It felt like they were laughing at the fact that it would be rebelled by the conscripts of the people.

"With the orders of the Admiral, we only do it, but we've come to the suggestion."

"What, what is a suggestion..."

Marquis Pippin is frustrated.

Pippin hired Zephyransas as a mercenary, I don't remember hiring him as a staff officer.

"I advance retreat"

"Withdrawal, don't be ridiculous!

"My Lord Marquis Pippin! You should not be a foolish general who doesn't understand the current situation. It is no longer the enemy castle soldiers that are under siege, but ours. We're surrounded by 3,000 conscripts and 1,500 castle soldiers."

"With me, I know that. But..."

"Then you should lay down your life for retreat right now. We're mercenaries who do everything with money, but we don't want to lose our lives with money. Now let me assure you of the life of His Excellency the Marquis and of your clan who is joining us in the war. Our mercenary regiment can withdraw with minimal damage to your soldiers."

Zephyransas' point was reasonable.

The Marquis of Pippin and the warrior. I understand the situation. But still, I don't want to give up siege as a feeling.

If I were to pull while I can't do anything here.

What was it for, beeping up with help from other countries?

"No, you can't pull it off"

"... does it seem so? If enemy reinforcements arrive here, we can no longer guarantee the Marquis' life, but still?

"Zephyransas, manage to drop the castle by then. Recruitment is my people. Lord, I'll talk to you and see what I can do."

……

Mercenary Commander Zephyransas said, bowing his head silently.

I dropped the visor on Surritt's helmet and headed back to the battlefield.

And not long afterwards, as Zephyransas feared.

Enemy reinforcements will arrive at Dot's castle.
