Otoko Nara Ikkokuichijou no Aruji o Mezasa Nakya, ne?

June 9, 7451

The heart of the Kingdom of Daybus.

Darlins Palace.

"What, true!?"

The Duke of Agenor Belgrid, King of the Kingdom of Daybus, jammed his words.

It was reported that the village of Koran, located in the western part of the Dart Plain (said to be the western Dart region or the territory of the Leagues County on the Ronbelt side), had been destroyed.

It is unfortunate that the village of Gimari continued to fall, as reported earlier, but in the past, the villages that had been cut open in the Dart Plain had been captured and captured by each other. No wonder.

It was really careless, and it was a shame, but it was just that I was attacked by a battle force that exceeded my defenses.

- Did you underestimate yourself as a lowly adventurer's new marquis?

There's nothing I can do now, but there's nothing I can do to stop the wave of regret that's coming.

Due to the great shock, there are still reports of the message, but the content has not been transmitted from ear to head.

I accidentally turned my right palm toward the message and blocked the rest of the report.

Even if we delay reporting a little here, we need to recover our mental state once and for all.

--Besides, I didn't expect to get ambushed again without getting intel on the invasion...

Even Gimali, who was defective in the past, did not have intel on Lombard's intrusion.

The same was true for Denan and Kincaid.

However, the area is adjacent to the area that suffered last year's Qinglong violence.

Reconnaissance was very dangerous, and the dragons took a lot of damage.

Even after Lombert exterminated the dragon, Gimali, who had stayed at a distance from the frontline, was only able to prepare his garrison and did not have a satisfactory reconnaissance of the surrounding area.

Although Denan and Kincade were covered with earth walls, they were nearby, so they were prepared to take some risks and sent out scouts.

I didn't even manage to capture the troops that were stationed there because of the earth walls.

In addition, the Marquis of Greed, who not only owned the surrounding area, but also controlled the Southern armies of the Kingdom of Lombard, had declared war the other day.

Although it is a great nobleman, there is no doubt that the concealment level of the invasion plan was higher than ever because one nobleman is going to wage a serious war against the country.

However, according to the understanding of King Belgrid, the number of troops stationed in Guimari village exceeded 300, and the number of people living in the village was close to 1,000.

Therefore, it would be strange if the Rombert side did not put in a considerable amount of force - more than 1,000 troops in the frontal combat force, and more than 1,500, no, 2,000 in the total strength - but it is not strange.

In fact, it is reported that hundreds of troops have entered the castle built in Gimari.

On the contrary, the fact that we built a stone fortress that seemed to be sturdy, no, we were able to build it, just because we were not aware of it, we might even have put in about 5,000 people instead of more than 3,000.

Not only magic, but also manpower.

Whatever it is, Lombert didn't allow us to move that much force, so we didn't move the standing troops that were stationed in King's Landing as usual.

We should have seen it extract its strength from the defensive forces stationed in the vicinity of Gimali.

Considering the expected inflow of troops, it is also highly likely that they were pulling troops from adjacent territories, rather than from the immediate vicinity of Gimali.

And they built a castle again.

Here, King Belgrid was finally able to direct his consciousness to the message.

Because there was a word that I couldn't escape from listening to.

What? Rather than a citadel, not a single fortress has been built?

On the contrary, it has been reported that the Rombert army, which was supposed to have wiped out the village of Koran, appeared like the wind and quickly destroyed the village of Koran and disappeared like smoke.

"The problem is that we don't have any information on the movement of the massacres."

The road that stretched from the village of Koran to the surrounding area was tightened because no sign of a large army had been found.

It was easy to blame the army for not getting intel on the invasion.

The army of the Kingdom of Daybus is composed mostly of collected soldiers, and the low morale and level of training are recognized by both sides.

Still, you can find traces of the army moving around, even children who haven't been trained.

The village of Koran is a stone's throw away from the frontline of Rombert, and it hasn't had much of a defensive presence.

But the number of the villagers shall be from six hundred, and it shall not be easy to kill them all.

They'll resist, and they'll run and hide.

It would be strange if they weren't attacked by more people than the entire population of the village.

Where the hell did all that force go?

The King's doubts go unresolved and the report continues.

Only a handful of serfs were able to escape the attacked village of Koran.

However, the testimony of all the surviving serfs was unbelievable without getting the guidelines.

Suddenly, the settlement was surrounded by a rock wall.

I thought it disappeared immediately.

The attackers ranged from Rombert's army to the legendary Dragon Beloinsalecty.

However, it is known that the Green Dragon Knights' Corps members stationed in the neighboring village were attacked by hundreds to thousands of troops.

It is likely that he was massacred by a skilled mage after being surrounded by a wall around the encampment and seized his escape.

Almost all the bodies left in the village quarters were traumatized in some way.

However, apart from the outdoors, most of the houses have collapsed, and the remaining buildings are damp and wet, and it is concluded that the possibility of using unknown attack magic cannot be discarded.

The king set off again into the world of thought.

This time only, the castle and fortress were not built.

--That's true, when I was in Gimali... "

According to reports from soldiers and knights who retreated from the village of Gimari, almost all the castles built on the site of the village of Gimari were built with magic in mind.

And incredibly, the strength of Rombert, who has invaded the village of Gimari, is also several hundred (if you add up all the reports that seemed to have entered later, it is less than 500).

― ― After all, the conscripted Green Dragon Knights can't properly count the numbers."No, that's it..."

He had a bitter expression on his face, but this assessment was too harsh on the flowing rocks.

It's not that easy to believe, but Gimari was attacked by about 300 to 500 people at the most.

According to the report, most of them were deployed after the castle was built, but they must have been mistaken.

After all, it was suddenly used as a large-scale sorcery, so the misunderstanding of the facts is well thought out.

--Is it possible if more than half of the troops put in are mages with great skills...? ""No, it's a dream tale to have such a number of first-line magicians..."So how the hell are we gonna do this?

King Belgrid sighs and thinks silently, but he doesn't get the right answer.

--In other words, a fortress with splendid earth walls was built overnight in Tancour, Denan, and Kincaid... But Gimari is not dirt, but stone.

If you can even use earth magic, it is not difficult to produce stones.

However, since the magic efficiency drops without delay (the volume that can be revealed by the same amount of magic power consumption drops to one hundredth of the soil), it is not said that magic cannot reveal the stone in a practical amount, but a fairly long period is required.

In the court magician class, if you want a typical magician to use local magic to stone you, you should still use your hand to cut out the stone and transport it to the local area.

Even the royal castle of Gamroi, the largest castle in the Daybus Kingdom, remains a very small part of this luxurious stone.

--But... umuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

The hostage King Rombert's daughter will have to be used as a card to negotiate with the Marquis of Greedo.

She said that Marquis Greedo had quite a lot to offer her, so the official calculations for the negotiation table were high.

― ― When that happened, was it a bad idea to respond aggressively to the ambassador the other day?

It is not politically wrong to kill all the envoys because we cannot go purely military and do not drink the demands of the other side, and we cannot avoid the war itself any more than it has been declared.

After killing all of them, the emissaries should have been politely sent back.

But in the end, the messenger missed us.

Here the King tried to sort things out a little.

This time the village of Koran was attacked at the end of last month, May 28.

The village of Gimari was attacked on May 5.

I have quite a while.

Even a few thousand troops will have plenty of time to move around.

It was three days later, on May 8th, that the messenger arrived at Landgreens and saw the Duke of Stalls.

And the king himself met the messenger on May 13th, five days after that.

In addition, since the envoys were slowly escorted from the city of Bondi in the Dart Plains to Land Grease, even if the attack date on the village of Gimari had been decided from the beginning, there might be a few days of error.

Moreover, since such customs as the declaration of war between countries are in aus where there is no international law, it is natural to wage a war such as an unannounced ambush.

Therefore, as the King of Belgrade, I think it would be a strange interpretation to say that "Greedo and I can only correctly announce the war through the Knight's Way."

But since we've already been attacked and our territory taken, we're not going to stay silent.

What's the status of the Black Wolf Knights' reorganization?

I raised my voice to confirm it to the people close to me.

The answer is that things are going according to plan.

"Gimali, Tankur, Denan, and Kincaid have just fallen into enemy hands or even built a fortress."Tell the army to plan an invasion in view of the invasion from the east, not the west of the Raster Mountains, and to search the area around Koran Village first and second. "

The Raster Mountain range rises in the southeast of the Dart Plain.

There were more monsters than the plains, and it was said that it was impossible to cross the mountain.

On the north side of the mountain range, there are 10 villages belonging to the Daybus Kingdom, and if the eastern end of the mountain range is captured, it will become isolated.

The rescue of 10 Kemura is of course the front line with the Lombard Kingdom, so there are quite a lot of troops stationed there.

No matter what, I'm not going to abandon you.

It is also a high priority to know the location of the troops that attacked Koran Village.



It's past noon.

Where's Tsette?

Celle, who was in front of the SS headquarters building, asked.

I got a call from the Knights' headquarters before noon.

Arko replies while handling the paperwork.

If you become the five hundred commanders of the Hakuho Knights Group, you have considerable discretion regarding work, but it is not limited to regular or occasional work, and you are often summoned suddenly, so it is not unusual for Tsette to be absent.

Cells and executives are good places to work, and the average daily working time is rarely more than three hours.

During the prescribed working hours (from 7: 00 a.m. to 3: 00 p.m.), there are almost no ex-Japanese in the SS because someone among the ex-Japanese is trying to fill it.

Of course, I do not play in my free time, but I often do practice, negotiate with entrance and exit companies, and communicate and negotiate with appropriate departments in the Royal Palace.

Cell was also training hard in the morning with the SS.

By the way, Val is still being handled at the SS training ground.

"Oh, by the way..."

That's why Al came to me with a report from Chris.

It was reported that the construction of a large warship following the training ship Fuji was progressing smoothly.

"Huh... can you expect both ships to launch in the autumn..."

"Well, anyway, I'm spending a lot of money on people."Oh, you should write the training plan for next week and send it to the Ministry of the Army by today.You always pull so close... I'm the one who hates you. "

“I'm sorry, I'll make sure to submit it by today.”

Please.

"Oh, by the way, how are you today?"

Hmm. I'm going to negotiate with the manufacturer about the ammo.

"I see. The volume of guns, gunpowder and bullets in our country depends on you." I'm begging you. "

"You always do that."

It's the right place. Alec and his team will be waiting for you on the battlefield for a long time.

"I know, but..."

“Where are you going for dinner?”

"Nhh, anything is fine"

"That's the most troubling answer."

"It really doesn't matter." Yeah, but I'm a little tired here, so maybe I should try something lighter. "

"After work, I'll always meet you there."

Okay, bye.

Cells dipped the nibs in an ink kettle as she looked at Arko, who bagged a few papers and left the headquarters behind.



I waited for Zetto to appear at the headquarters of the White Phoenix Knights, which was exactly the same as the report the King had just heard.

What? Koran's broken down this time?

Tsette's boss, the Commander of the Knights, nodded heavily as his eyes widened.

Umu

"What is the potential for false alarms?"

"Unfortunately, it's tiny."

"I guess so. I just asked.”

"Ahh, but after Gimari, it's pathetic..."

……

Our Knights of the White Phoenix may also be ordered to deploy.

“What's the problem?

But of course, we need to defend the King's City, and we need reserves.

It makes sense.

In the meantime, I'll have you reserve troops for me.

Yes.

I know you've been promoted, but you'll have to wait in the capital this time.

Got it.

"Don't look like that. The opponent was invisible.It's a judgment based on the fact that it's highly likely that the battle force you deposit will become a decisive force..... "

Zet's reserves will require maneuvers to reach the battlefield as quickly as possible.
