“Retreat?”

“Yes, doggy. ”

The ship, which was arranging the paperwork in the Oval Office, tilted its head to Lowden's report.

There was a feeling that Baratheon's aggression seemed to have loosened a bit recently. But retreat? It was an unbelievable report.

Despite Chinikov's ferocity, Baratheon still has millions of soldiers and horsemen left.

Moreover, it was King Patrick Baratheon's own accomplice. A retreat with no results would have greatly scratched his reputation and pride.

‘Something is strange... …. ’

But considering that, we're stopping the war? It was when the arc snapped its fingers to guess their intentions.

“And their retreat must be a ruse. Woof.”

“Deceptive tactics? Well, I think so, too. ”

“You are the Lord, Dog! You noticed the enemy's tactics right away! That's brilliant! I'm impressed!”

“ ……. ”

I smiled at the sparkling dog. But the atmosphere was a little bit different to just say it was a hunch.

“After all, Baratheon's power is more than adequate, Dog, even though the war so far has proved to be quite damaging. Moreover, Baratheon gained nothing in this war. Rather, it was a loss. Even with the king's pride, they can't just walk away. Woof.”

As he speaks, he raises his outer egg glasses and frowns.

“Puppy. But for them, Chinikov was an impregnable, terrible fortress. I'm sure you'll be under a lot of pressure to keep attacking. ”

The arc nodded in Rauden's words. The lake was a similar idea. As he said, Aldrid also lost a large number of horsemen and troops along with the two Izerones as a result of the ongoing battle, but his blood was like three rounds compared to Baratheon's.

“That's why Puppy Baratheon must be trying to move the battlefield to their advantage. ”

“So it's a decoy? ”

“Yes, a puppy. However, it appears that some of the troops have fallen behind. ”

The reason was easy to guess. A few days ago, it was reported that an allied force led by Hillmonger was luring behind Baratheon. Even though Baratheon was a military empire, the war could not continue, ignoring the rear with munitions and production factories.

“So what's our policy? ”

“Puppy. Of course you're right. We have to jump into enemy traps. ”

“... Are you not dying in Chinikov? ”

“That's not wise, doggy. And we have to be prepared for a long war. However, if you use the trap to do great damage to the enemy's home, Patrick Barattai will have no choice but to retreat. ”

He said with an unfair look on his face.

“You're not saying that because you don't fight in person, are you? ”

“Oh, no. Puppy.”

However, the rounded expression on Lowden's face was somehow making his trust drop. After pretending to be lured into enemy traps, Lowden suggests that we break through and destroy the opponent with a siege.

And the arc accepted the opinion of Lowden. As Lowden has said, the operation could not only give Patrick Baratheon a massive blow, but also access to the SS grade dungeon of Baratheon just a few miles from the Lantern Mountains.

Though it seemed to be a bit of a turnaround, it was a war that had begun to meet the requirements for the transition to the SS rank.

However, Baratheon's retreating soldiers are not to be pursued with soldiers immediately. In order to fall into enemy traps, our allies had to be prepared, too.

And the tightly closed gates of Chinikov are carefully opened, with a handful of silver doors and winged Hudsar troops sneaking out.

“More troops……. And you need the support of a horse and carriage? ”

Looking at the letter from Chinikov, Astrid Bell gripped her flimsy head.

Is it because of her, including the Rim Mountains, that she is responsible for the heroes of the monarchy who have left the country because of this war? I took a deep breath several times, but my frustration didn't go away.

“There are millions of soldiers in Baratheon threatening him. ”

Bell smiles bitterly at Diarin's words.

“Phew. I'm familiar with that. Five hundred thousand, anyway... Training in four territories and troops should be easy to fill. ”

Neither horse stalls nor backing were a problem. Already in Tirzana, Lion Lane, produced in three territories, including the Limd Mountains, has been deployed or heated. They were new gases less than two months after they were produced.

“The problem is that the owners can handle the horse market.... ”

He was a top-rated horse stall, so he needed skilled horse-drawn heroes to handle the Lyon Lane. Diane hears Bell's own words.

“Owners don't matter. The heroes of Chinikov will deal with it. Well, if you recover from an injury. ”

“Are there a lot of seriously injured people? ”

“Well……. Four or five. Luckily, he's okay. Oh, you too, Hanjin. ”

“I think he could get hurt a little.... Oh, you know I'm joking, right? ”

Diane smiles back at Belle's shrugged actions. It was time for the two women to exchange opinions and form troops and supplies to send support.

Someone knocks on the door of the office and walks inside. His research team was El Brick, the leader of Galy Gondoli.

“Eh……. It's been a long time. I'm here to report something. ”

“I think I need to sleep first.... ”

As a tribute, Diane swallows her saliva, looking down at El Brick, looking down at Bell.

He looks like he's about to collapse as soon as dark circles come down on his face. Astrid Bell was embarrassed, too. But like the lord of the Limd Mountains, she asked for El Brick with a serious look.

“What do you need? Researcher El Brick? ”

“Oh, the development of the Elven Horse Market is over. From now on, we can produce the Sevitri and Silver Arrows. ”

“That skill has already been completed? The research was done very quickly. ”

Bell looks surprised. However, the development of the Elven horse stalls was not that difficult for the research team 'Gali Gondoli’.

It was because Janet and Gold Eagle were already able to produce horses, but only the Elfman's special skills could be completed further.

Moreover, the development of a Class C horse stall was too easy compared to a Class A horse stall. And while Bell may not know it, Gali also received additional research on the faction-related effects of her team's heroes.

“Then the next study is……. ”

“I plan to develop Windriders and El Scouts, a class B Elf horse-drawer. ”

El Brick replied: I had already been instructed by the subpoena about the next study.

And El Brick looks at Bell with the saddest look in his eyes. Before visiting Bell's office, he had a body of support from his team.

“But it's a situation that requires the skill of the craftsmen and the rest of the research team.... ”

“Admit it. Hmm. Then I'll let you rest for the next week. That should be enough, right? ”

“Yes, of course! So I'm going to tell my team the good news. ”

Elbrick shunned the burinake with an answer, just in case Bell wanted to change his words. Diane sighs and sighs as she sees the Elven Hero disappearing from the Oval Office in no time.

“You're pushing it too hard, aren't you? ”

“You can't just make fun of talented people, can you? An Elven horse stall, by the way.... There are many talented Elven heroes. I guess Class C isn't going to do much good in this war, is it? ”

“Well, it's a Class C horse stall, but I heard that one of the Elven Kingdom's horse stalls, Sevitri, is heavily armored to help with combat and siege battles. It is also said that the Sevitri, controlled by a highly-rated Elf hero, is also known as the number of worlds at war. ”

Diane is concerned about what Bell said. She also didn't know as much about the war as Bell did, but there were a few things she heard from the mercenaries.

“The number of worlds in the battlefield…. I've heard that name before. Then we'll need to add a few more centuries to the reinforcements we're sending. ”

“Then we'd better get into crafting right away. Do you have a minute?"

“Production in the Limd Mountains is enough. ”

Bell confidently said in Diane's question. The reinforcements headed for Chinikov also included the opening of the Sevitri, including Lyon Lane. Among them...

“Ard is also our kingdom. Elves can't be protected forever. ”

“Ha, but if you leave for the battlefield! ”

“Not to worry, Astrid Bell. Candir will take care of the territory without me. ”

“ ……. ”

There was also El Rasel, the sovereign ruler of the Red Blood Land and an Elf hero of Class S.

And due to the merger of El Rasel and an Elf horse stall called Sevitri, Rauden had to make a big change to the plan he was thinking about. It was because Sevitri, who had solid gloves, could become the shield of Lyon Lane enough to crush the enemy's horseradish power.

To do that, however, elf heroes dealing with the Sevitri had to be excellent in their maneuvers, but the current elf heroes who supported the Chinikov were heroes most of whom had dealt with more than Sevitrina.

“Here we go!"

It was a month after Baratheon began to retreat that the army of Ard, who had erected his thorns like a hedgehog and was stuck in Chinikov, opened its gates.

Baratheon's chiefs were preparing for a long term war, thinking that he had not fallen for their enticement, because he had been immobilized for so long.

However, as the gates of Chinikov opened, news of an attack on Baratheon soldiers stationed nearby by enemy horsemen began to spread into the ears of King Patrick Baratheon and his chiefs.

“You're finally moving. ”

“He's very discreet. ”

The staff members said as they looked at the information coming in at a visual angle. It was Lord Yunho of Ald they pointed to. According to information, Lion Lane-Flame, also known as Lord of Ard's Yun Ho's gas, is being witnessed at the forefront of the enemy.

“Send the soldiers back. And when Ard's headquarters is about 100 kilometers from Chinikov, contact the devils in the Lantern Mountains. ”

Then Patrick Baratheon gives the order. He opens the gates and wipes out Alard's army while simultaneously reaching out to Chinikov.

“Prepare for battle! ”

“Start the horses! Stand by at designated position! ”

The Waiting Baratheon Soldiers' movements become more and more agitated with the news that Alrd is on the move. The commanders' mouths were restless, and the soldiers who supplied them could not see their hands or feet.

The troops then begin to move into their positions on the orders of the chieftains.

It was a trap to catch Lord Yun of Ald. However, the expectations of the Baratheon chiefs have been slightly off from the start.

“Khhh! Aah! ”

“Attack! Destroy the enemy's horsemen! ”

“W-weapon won't work! Rrrrgh!”

“Damn it! How the hell did Sevitri get here?" ”

At the same time as the decoys, Baratheon's smiths, which should do some damage to the opposing horseman's power, are still oxidizing without seeing any effect.

It was because of Sevitri, an Elven horse stall that was as tough as gloves, although its movement speed and attack skills were poor.
