A little while back, we arrived at Grand Duke Faros' realm capital, Tread, July 25.

The city, which had not been here in a long time, was full of panic (awesomeness) that preceded the battle.

Horse carriages loaded with lots of luggage go and go, early horses of the decree run, and the number of soldiers is high.

I'm guessing they've avoided war fire from other territories. Some of them look like people.

In addition to the Kingdom of Siddhar, the information that the Idra Empire had also joined the war appeared to have already been passed on to the inhabitants, but I did not find it surprisingly gloomy.

Instead, there are many young people gathered in volunteer recruitment posts set up all over the city in response to the call.

Grand Duke Faros. I'm sure he's an unusual person, but you really said he was admired by the people as a celebrity.

Break up with Mr. Listella, who says he's going to see his luggage with the members of the Chamber of Commerce who were evacuating him first, and we're headed to Grand Duke Faros' castle.

When she showed the ring that Eina was nesting at the castle gate, the guard corrected her posture in a startled manner and almost let her in on a free pass.

Is it an indication of the Viscount's identity or of the Grand Duke's valued guests... maybe the latter.

In the evidence, the Grand Duke in armor runs from the front on his way to the room.

I've always imagined crutches on or on a trolley lately, but now they haven't broken my leg.

"Eina, you're finally here! It's late, so I worried about you!

That's what I'm gonna say. I'm gonna take Mr. Eina's hand, Grand Duke Faros.

You really like Eina.

"Sorry, it took a long time."

"Right, well. I'd like your opinion on the new weapon. Come here."

The Grand Duke draws Mr. Eina's hand like a friend, not making him feel at all dignified or anything like that.

"Please wait. Before I do, I'd like to tell you the status of the battalion and the status of the enemy."

"Mm... right. Okay, come here."

The Grand Duke looked sad for a moment, but soon he regains his mind and pulls Mr. Eina in a different direction than he just did.

The Tense Grand Duke turned his gaze to us in front of the door of the room.

"I guarantee the identity of these people."

In a word from Eina, the Grand Duke snorts and puts us in the room. Trustworthy, isn't it?

Me and my sister, Mr. Rhina, stick to Mr. Eina and knock on the door.

In the large room, a large number of people surrounded the large table. When I look at the Grand Duke, they all bow their heads in the same position.

"Hold off for a while."

To the voice of the Grand Duke, all sassy a few steps back and empty around the table.

(Frightened, frightened...)

The Grand Duke uses a huge map spread out on the table to start explaining to Eina, but my knees (knees) are trembling.

Surrounded by surroundings and staring at us because all the bent uncles in armor.

Maybe he's a general or a captain of a unit, but he's just a stature person who thinks he's a bear, and his eyes aren't sharp and intimidating in half.

I also had a little regret that I should have gone with Mr. Listella to see the Chamber of Commerce luggage. I have nothing to do with the Chamber of Commerce luggage.

My mood elsewhere, the Grand Duke's explanation of the situation goes pale.

"The Idra Imperial Army is attacking the King's Capital with 50,000 of its main infantry, while sending 30,000 cavalry across the north. I suppose the fall of the Wang capital is seen as a matter of time, and we are moving ahead with the peace of the wide area as soon as possible. The king may have fallen by now."

On the map, five pieces of 10,000 astral silver coins are stacked on the location of the Wang capital, and three pieces at a time are scattered throughout the north.

This method is common in this world, isn't it?

I guess the Imperial Army is already coming to the mine. I hope Nina is doing well......

The awareness that flew away for a moment is drawn back to the voice of the Grand Duke.

"The Royal Sidal Army destroyed the main force of the National Army in a recent meeting. The damage is minimal, and now we put the main 80,000 here to spy on Wang Du. The southern area is left to the old lords, leaving only a few soldiers behind. I have 20,000 other soldiers here in case of us. All infantry is the main force."

The place where the silver coins were placed on top of each other is a plain area stretching to the south of the Wang capital. Two pieces were placed near the border with the Grand Duke heading southwest from there.

"Our army keeps the main 20,000 on the tread. Infantry predominates, with about 3,000 cavalry. 5,000 other soldiers from a small lord in the neighborhood. And then an auxiliary unit of volunteers can mobilize about 8,000 troops within a month, but we can't rely much on it as a force."

The total number of Idra Imperial Army including a large number of cavalry is 80,000, and the Royal Siddhar Army is 100,000. By contrast, this one is the main 20,000 plus Alpha...

Even I, an amateur in the military, seem desperate.

Eina, who was staring at the map while listening to the explanation, opened her mouth in large measure.

"I see, as an Idra Imperial Army, after the fall of the Wang Capital, the main unit will remain there to confront the Sidal Royal Army. While you're buying time, all you have to do is calm down the cavalry from north to west, and when the main unit is attacked, buy time in the king's capital, and in the meantime, call back the cavalry to thrust the abdominal back of the Royal Sidal Army. Will the Royal Siddhar Army be vigilant and watch for a while without an impossible attack?"

"... well, I guess that's the place. By the way, Eina, do you have a crush on military science?

"No. But imagine this placement and what the commander might think, and I think that's roughly it. Has contact come from both sides?

"... ugh, um. From the kingdom of Siddhar, I want to subordinate you because I will acknowledge your possession as it is. From the Idra Empire, surrender because only life will save you. Otherwise, don't tell me you're going to destroy them."

"I see. The empire is easy to understand, but is the Kingdom of Siddhar, to observe, a belly to take in the Grand Duke as it is and hit the Imperial Army? If you take away your power, you can do anything later. If the Imperial Army is damaged, it's worth it."

For a moment I was thinking, 'If that's the condition, it's the Cydal kingdom with instant judgment', and something cold runs on my spine. That's right, if you're subordinate, it would be too convenient to maintain the status quo.

"... I haven't replied to both sides, do you have any opinions?

"Nothing in particular, I was wondering if you could just leave it there. So you can show your willingness to be hostile."

"Right.... Lord, it looks like you could use a staff officer."

The soldiers surrounding us seem to be equally impressed with Eina's analysis.

"We have a roughly grasp of the situation. Grand Duke, can you show us the status of armaments next? Something you want to show me."

"Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Follow me!

The Grand Duke flips out of the commander's face and walks out as a tense researcher.

You tried to meet me and show me the new weapon first, and you wanted to see what Eina had to say.

My current position is Grand Duke, but I guess it's the researchers this guy really wanted to be.

As I watched the Grand Duke walk ahead with a cockroach, I thought about the smoothness of people's worlds...
