You should read the number he's putting on.

The Baden River…… After the Raising…… Independent…… Chief Talak…… the intervention of the Kingdom of Leaden…… Castel Castle…….

I organized everything in my mind.

And suddenly,

“Ah!”

Something passes through my mind.

Castel Castle!

That's what it was.

Castel Castle was occupied by Emperor Kars with 100,000 troops when he negotiated the Baden River. It is a fortress on a road into the Baden River basin, so it should be used as a beacon of invasion for the Horn Empire.

Of course, even after the physical uprising, Castel Castle felt like an awl rising towards them.

By negotiating the Baden River, the Horn Empire has restrictions against returning Castel Castle to more than 5,000 troops.

Of course, the 11 Horn Imperial forces guarding the border will support Castel Castle if it becomes dangerous.

However, the 11 armies were taken out by the emperor Kars.

Castel Castle is guarded by only 5,000 troops.

Do you think she'll just sit there and watch it happen?

Of course, Earl Wolfgang Lanzhel would have noticed such concern for Emperor Kars. However, Earl Ranzhel is confident that this civil war will be a great blow to Emperor Kars. Will he leave Castle Castel alone?

Earl Ranzhel takes Castel Castle by storm in the absence of 11 legions.

And it serves as a foreign cause for Emperor Kars to attack the Kingdom of Ledon in the future.

Damn it.

I got up from my seat in a hurry.

“Excuse me first. You can talk to the Eggs about transporting grain. ”

“Something urgent come to mind? ”

Rael asks with a sharp look.

I nodded.

“I've come up with an important issue. Thank you for providing valuable information. I will repay this debt soon. ”

“Of course.”

I gestured to Patrick.

Patrick follows me out the hall. I asked Patrick.

“Ten of the Condol Cavalry you brought here, right? ”

“Yes.”

“Pick three of the best riders. I need to send a letter to the House of Leaden. ”

“Are you writing to His Majesty? ”

“No, the broker has a lot of procedures. It takes a long time. This is a letter for Earl Duron. ”

I asked Duke Britain's servant to bring me papers, ink, and pens.

And I wrote quickly.

Order the aftermath to ban any direct military action against the Horn Empire. They might attack Castel Castle. This is what Emperor Kars intended.

I gave the letter to Patrick. At the same time, I gave him 50 Orin in funding.

“Buy healing potions and tell them not to rest. ”

“I understand.”

Patrick takes the letter and the money and heads straight for the road.

If you are a member of the Condol Cavalry from the nomadic people, you will run to Ledon Castle like a hurricane.

That should do it. Let's hope it's not too late.

In the Kingdom of Leaden, Caroc's stature grows.

A shining young talent who appeared during the Great Famine and Black Blood Disease and successfully negotiated the Baden River toll! It became a ligand birthplace and exhibited its presence as a foreign ministry accessory and treasurer's assistant.

Even Caroc's father, Zack Basque Kunt, recently came to the Master's estate and rocked the entire Kingdom of Leaden. Today, the writer Kunt said that a group of unaccompanied strangers came to congratulate him every day.

Carroc's position with his fearless father was strengthened.

The regime has already established a new phase of the royal family that will be the next reign of Caroc in the wake of Earl Duron.

And depending on the rising stature of such a caroc, there were two young men who rose in stature every day.

“You did it again, Duke Ligand. ”

“What a strange creature. You're as active in this country as I am because you're as annoying as I am. ”

“Anyway, we should celebrate. ”

“Well, that's true. ”

A small, quiet bar.

Two men, Louis Concern and Jeron Deckard, raise a glass of beer and toast.

The two men who were appointed by Caroc himself were recently receiving political attention. He was rated as "Caroc's henchmen" because he had a glittering fur and outstanding ability to do work.

“But on the one hand, I'm worried. Mr Ligand is too confident that the Civil War of the Horn Empire will be an overwhelming victory for Emperor Kars. ”

Louie speaks her mind. It was because I wanted to hear Jeron's opinion on it.

Jeron stared at Louie like that.

“What do you think? ”

“I'm partially in favor of Ligand's opinion that Emperor Kars is going to write a decoy. But basically, nomads are a people who don't settle in one place. If they avoid all-out war, war can be prolonged as much as possible. ”

“Current intel indicates that 150,000 punitive forces led by Emperor Kars are advancing, and the rebels of Chief Tallack are avoiding them. Like you said, Chief Tallac has a long war in his head and guerrilla tactics. ”

“That's it. The longer the war, the more the Horn Imperial Court suffers financial damage. We may be hit hard, unlike what you predicted. ”

“Louie, you're actually supposed to be working with the nomadic Independents? ”

Jeron asked.

Louie nods and acknowledges.

“Yes. As you know, I was a bit aggressive, so I would have boldly preferred to hit Emperor Kars. Connecting with the landscape to fully support Chief Tallac won't succeed at independence, but it can be a critical blow to the Horn Empire. ”

“Well, unlike you, I like to mention my defensive and safe attitude to Emperor Kars. ”

Louie thought for a moment and said,

“You mean the 11th Legion. ”

“I knew it. ”

Eleven Horn Imperial troops who were guarding the border along the Baden River were also exposed to the Kingdom of Leaden's network of information.

“If it were a simple emperor, the army would have moved as soon as it was thought Chief Tallac had a different mind. There's nothing as frightening as rebellion for a monarch. ”

“…… Emperor Kars has casually allowed the rebels to unite. ”

“Yes, that's it. ”

Jeron sips his beer in one swoop and empties it. Louie ordered another glass from the host.

Jeron spoke.

“Emperor Karth is tempting us to intervene. He's forced 11 legions to intervene if he's confident." ”

“It's as if the rebels are in no trouble. ”

Jeron nods.

“Magister Ligand thinks that Emperor Kars will triumph over civil wars, and that Emperor Kars himself is confident. Strange trust relationship. From that point on, I don't think I should intervene in the civil war of the Horn Empire. First of all, we are his line, so we have to do what he wants. ”

“That's true. ”

Louie nods.

Louie was going to follow Caroc for the rest of her life.

After becoming a royal caretaker, Lui was the only one who paid for his work and died as an undertaker. The comrades who were shaking their tails at senior officials, or those from a good family, had to suffer a penalty when they were promoted or rewarded.

But then life turned upside down in Caroc's eyes.

With all of them knitted together, Louie is King Erik's sidekick, a few steps closer to power.

I've never lost money following Caroc. So I had to trust Caroc to make the same decision.
