The moon changed and the first day of November. We were at the headquarters of the Pharos Royal Army near the border, two days after the invasion of the Idra Empire was scheduled.

The captain of the Expeditionary Army is the current Minister of Military Affairs of the Kingdom of Faros, who was the former head of the First Army of the Grand Duke of Faros.

And as Acting Commander-in-Chief of the King, he's Finance Minister Eina Parklen.

No one can dispute the fact that the Commander-in-Chief is only uncomfortable with the Minister of Finance or anything, but they are all just members who fought the Kingdom's war of liberation together.

The strength of the Expeditionary Force is about 20,000 infantry and cavalry combined.

We also had to pay for domestic policing and security, and for the remnants of the slightly remaining Idra Imperial Army, but since the Count Negroste family continued to resist the Idra Imperial Army in the northwestern part of the kingdom and survived, we have been able to mobilize almost all of the main forces of the old Grand Duchy by absorbing that force and getting it to hit domestic missions.

The Earl of Negroste said the Lord had died in battle in which the former Royal Markham Army had lost a great deal to the Royal Sidal Army, and the main force of the Army had also been lost to defend the territory by the children alone. But the battle was painful, and it seemed that it was best to continue the resistance in the territorial capital.

Family orders and Dangerous maids I met when I went to treat the three women before. I don't think he would have lost easily if he remembered around his eldest daughter, but he was still in a pretty tough situation.

He said it was the limit in a few months to stand in the territorial capital.

So as a result of the negotiations, Eina agreed to abolish the aristocratic system on the condition that half of the former Count's territory be recognized as private property, and the surviving second son became head of the Northern Corps of the Kingdom of Pharos, so he could entrust himself with the maintenance of law and order in the north and west.

As far as I know more or less the family style of that house, I thought you often responded to the abolition of the aristocratic system, but according to Eina, 'what side (s) can I lower and say you are a lord again, etc., even though you were virtually unable to protect the territory and the people', it was rather cooperative.

It's a really rare type as a nobleman in this country, but as far as I'm concerned, I'm very fond of it.

I'd like to see you again if I get a chance. Three ladies were cute.

Your oldest daughter was scared...

I have been immersed in old memories for some time, but now it is about an imminent war in front of me.

I snuck up on Eina, who seems busy as Commander-in-Chief of the Expeditionary Force...

"Mr. Eina, this is an easy means of getting in touch, if possible, with the location of a separate task force hidden across the horizon during the march that was being asked for in the Wang capital, but now what do you think?

It was the kite (octopus) that they had made in the mine that said so and gave it to them. It's not a square one, it's a guerrilla kite shaped like a small glider. They bought it when I was in elementary school and pulled it out of my memory of playing.

"Is this... a small glider?

"It fits that much, but it can rise from the ground."

This hand story is quick to demonstrate, so I ask my sister to hold the kite, stretch the thread, and run as hard as she can to get it off me.

The wind was barely blowing, but he managed to rise and stabilize, so he stops his leg and returns to Mr. Eina, giving him the yarn.

"It goes up like this. It's a little vulnerable to strong winds, but unlike hot air balloons, it can float all the time basically, and unlike gliders, it can rise right off the ground. It's more convenient when you're on the move because you should pull it slightly, and if you tie it up even with a colored cloth on this yarn, I think you can contact me easily with that combination. What do you think?

The kite material was basically the same as balloons and gliders, and the yarn was asked by Mr. Lena to prepare something sturdy.

It's a yarn made from a bird's feather called Kosencho that I've heard about before, and it was so sturdy I tried it, I don't think I'd have to worry about cutting the yarn even if I put it up pretty high.

I got the kite painted red to stand out, so it has a pretty toxic vibe, but it's also quite a size, and this should be visible from quite a distance.

It seems that this world is smaller than Earth, and if we're 10 kilometers away, we won't be able to see each other by raising the flag instead of each other, but if we raise it to exactly 100 meters 200 meters, we'll be able to see (and do) it even from quite a distance.

I don't have wires or anything, so I don't have a problem running with the kite flying.

By the way, the colored cloth as a means of communication hinted at the flag… or almost intact.

I used to read in an adventure novel that ships used a combination of flags on the mast to communicate with each other at sea, so I borrowed them.

... Eina has tried raising the kite once down again herself or checking the yarn strength, but she seems to like it a lot when she sees it obsessed.

After a while, as an example, he was in a question-attack, and as a result of answering as best he could, he was successfully officially hired, handing over all 40 of them he had made at the mine.

Eina said, 'Thank you. Now I have the decision to execute the operation I was planning' and I was in a good mood.

By the way, it was on the military council the next day that I found out what I was going to use this kite for...

The following November 2nd. Urgent military discussions were held before the impending invasion of the Idra Empire tomorrow.

There are about 30 people in line, including the Commander-in-Chief of the Expeditionary Army, Eina, and less than or equal to the Captain General and the Force Leader. For some reason, Mr. Listella also appeared. They're going to help with transport and backwards assignments this time too, is it okay for the business?

I decided to keep an eye on what was happening in the corner and reread the material that Eina gave me in advance explaining the current situation.

This one has a total of 20,000 cavalry at 17,000 infantry.

Large balloons 20 each, 120 gliders.

A rear unit consisting of other volunteers can use 10,000 soldiers and 20,000 horses for rear transport out of the 23,000 Idra Imperial Cavalry and 21,000 horses surrendered in earlier wars.

The confirmed enemy force is 2,000 infantry in a fort (among others) across the river at the border. Most importantly, this is not a fort for defense. It is a base for attacking this way. It has a strong material staging area and is not difficult to attack.

But beyond that, we had a good 40-day carriage ride to the imperial capital of the Idra Empire. There is a longer distance than from Grand Duke Pharos to the King's Capital in the previous war, the majority of which are meadows and wilderness, and the barren land where food barely even renders the procurement of water unfettered.

An infantry 300,000 defensive corps is expected in Imperial Capital, including soldiers gathered urgently, and 20,000 to 30,000 other cavalry corps are expected to exist......

According to the knowledge previously taught by Ms Eina, the Idra Empire is a country with a vast territory in the central part of the continent, but many of it is land unsuitable for farming and nomadic pastoralism is the main industry. The story was that it was a country that invaded (and often invaded) the surrounding countries by its excellent horseback riding skills and repeatedly plundered them.

Since it is such a country, there have been numerous attacks to the contrary in history, but almost the only land suitable for farming is concentrated around the imperial capital, which is more than 40 days away by carriage from all borders.

It has been used to draw enemy forces deep into a vast expanse of sparsely populated land, repelling most invading armies with a manoeuvring cavalry where enemy movements are blunt (nibbling), and even if it is reached to the imperial capital, it is in one turn one of the continent's leading big cities. An invading army capable of mobilizing a huge number of reservists from a large population and depleted by a long march will be wiped out without a trace.

That's how they've been bouncing off all the invasions.

He's a pain in the ass just to ask.

It would be frightening to just think about extending the wilderness while threatening a cavalry that doesn't even know when it's going to strike, and it would be difficult to replenish it from home.

There's a distance, and more importantly, there's nothing we can do if the convoy is attacked by a cavalry.

This one is at a disadvantage, not only in terms of military strength, but also in terms of ground (chisel).

... Are you okay with this?

Are you sure you can win?

Nevertheless, I'm not talking about how you can do this to me, even if you're worried.

I returned the answer to the knowledge that Eina asked for, so all I have to do is trust Eina and leave it to her.

I think about what I do.

My job. It is to rescue the Elves, who are expected to have more than three times the size of the former Markham kingdom, from the Idra Empire.

You won't be able to do it at once, so take the stage. Still as fast as you can.

… thinking about how to do this, Eina stopped talking at her usual pale pace and looked around and uttered words.
