Price of Management

The next day.

While staying in the Kunt family and having a free time with my family, two people unexpectedly came to see me.

Neil Perry, the Caroc Merchants Guild.

Condol Cavalry Commander Patrick Condol.

It was two of my henchmen.

“Lord, I'm sure you've had enough. ”

Patrick greets politely, as always. Every attitude towards me is filled with great loyalty. I feel relieved to see that such a talented owner is my loyal servant. But…….

“Patrick, you don't look so good. ”

I cleaned up my armor and put it on neatly, but I felt like I was running from a war.

Patrick smiles shyly.

“This is what it looks like when I arrived this morning after training. ”

“Back in the morning after training? Don't you usually start in the morning and finish at night? ”

“Last time I visited ligand territory, I spoke to Lord Xu Xian Vale and added a new training. ”

“Actually, this is what we came here to ask permission for. ”

Neil Perry helped.

I nodded.

“Okay, tell me. ”

Neil Perry's explanation followed.

The two of them visited ligand territory about half a year ago on the strategy of defeating the Horn Empire Army, which Vale envisioned. And he heard the specifics of the strategy that the veil laid down.

“To be honest, I think Emperor Kars knows how to focus his efforts on defending the Royal Special Forces, the Kunt family, and the Condol Cavalry on ligand territory. You can't expect someone with that kind of intelligence and that kind of strategic superiority. ”

The veil followed.

“I'm sure they'll know our strategy and they'll try to outwit us. Regrettably, I don't know what strategy he will use. And I think we need to prepare a step in the spleen to do the same. I think it's a Condol Cavalry. ”

“Our Condol Cavalry? ”

Patrick asks, and the veil nods.

“Fortunately, Emperor Kars has one weakness. It's his nomadic army. ”

Patrick and Neil Perry were surprised to hear that.

Why is the power of the nomadic force gained by the Horn Imperial Court a weakness?

Vale laughs and speaks.

“Originally, weakness is not just one of the powerful forces. But since Emperor Kars has the nomadic army, he probably doesn't think he's going to be pushed out of manpower. This is where the Condol Cavalry becomes the card of the spleen. ”

As soon as Patrick heard that, his heart began to pound. I had a feeling that a great strategy would come out of his mouth.

The veil says.

“If your guess is that the Ligand territory is a battlefield against the northern Horn Empire, then the Condol Cavalry will storm the southern expansion road, raiding the rear of the Horn Empire, blocking and disrupting the supply lines." ”

“It's a basic strategy that we, as a cavalry, must take for granted. Is that all?”

Patrick asked me about the veil.

“We can't cut off the supply lines for long. I think Emperor Kars will really value the supply route, so he'll reinforce it soon even if he disrupts it once or twice. The Condol Cavalry will disrupt the supply lines one or two times, then penetrate the Horn Empire mainland directly across the border. ”

“Invade the Horn Empire mainland?" ”

I scared the two of them.

I told you to invade the Mainland of the Horn Empire on your own!

Patrick told me.

“It's a bold strategy, but we'll be isolated right away. They'll be wiped out for lack of supplies. ”

“The role of the Condol Cavalry that has infiltrated the mainland is to continue to disrupt the supply of the Horn Empire through guerrilla warfare through the grasslands. Of course, while you may have infiltrated the Horn Empire mainland, you are at risk of being isolated and unable to receive mass supplies, but there is a way to resolve this. ”

Vale looks at Neil Ferry.

“I need the help of the Caroc Merchant Guild. I'm sure they're still trading with the Horn Empire through the Egyptian Merchant Guild. ”

“That's right.”

“That egg must have been a familiar figure to the Horn Empire, right? ”

Neil Perry nods.

“Yes. No one knows the Horn Empire like that. ”

“Then do this through Mr. Yulan. ”

“What kind of work? ”

“We're building a few secret supply depots on the Meadows of the Horn Empire. If you install about 12 secret warehouses with food hidden away, you will be able to freely roam the grasslands, receiving supplies from the Condol Cavalry in the future. ”

“Indeed!”

Neil Perry was amazed at his knees. Patrick was also empathetic.

The veil says.

“Perhaps if the Condol Cavalry swiftly invades the mainland and starts a riot, the Nomads will try to capture you. To act quickly and pursue them with much more troops, Lord Condol. ”

“Tell me.”

“The Condol Cavalry should be much faster than the nomadic army. Fortunately, the weaknesses of the Nomadic Army are weak in control. In other words, they have a liberal habit of doing very little systematic training. The Kondol cavalry, on the other hand, is training under complete control. Isn't that right?"

“That's right.”

“Then I'll ask. Can it be faster than the Nomadic Army? If we can get enough maneuverability to run for at least three days without rest, I think this strategy will work. What do you think?”

Faster than the Nomads of the Horn Empire. That is, be the continent's fastest cavalry.

It was in the form of Caroc's specific instructions to become the continent's strongest cavalry.

Patrick feels the excitement of boiling blood.

After hearing all the stories, Patrick smiles at me dazed.

“Lord, Lord Vale has overlooked one thing. ”

“What's that? ”

“We've already finished the four-day march and returned this morning. I managed to run without a sound for four days. Right now, the goal of our Kondol cavalry is a one-week group. ”

It was the moment of discovery as to why Patrick's grit was raging.

Four days on a horse?

It was a terribly harsh exercise.

I was amazed at Patrick, who trained so beautifully the Condol Cavalry of liberal nomadic warriors.

And a veil that makes me feel like I've been bludgeoned. I really have no choice but to stick my tongue out.

I nodded.

“I really admire you today. Permission granted. Feel free to exercise your discretion. ”

“Old!”

They gathered their mouths and replied.

That day, I wrote a letter to Vale.

I received the gift well.

I was very happy and grateful for the big gift that I did not expect at all. I will do everything in my power to help you spread your talents freely.

On it, Lord Vale.

P.S. Pay 500 Redina for each of the three Barons Vail, Dean and Paoni. Give it to the people downstairs properly.

- Earl Caroc, the ligand.

The reason I got into politics was to protect my country from the emperor Kars.

Only that one.

However, I was always unsure whether I could defeat the emperor Kars. In alliance with the Orient Kingdom, the electric car was somewhat atoned for, but I felt confused by the question of whether I could be his enemy.

But I began to see the breakthrough.

…… I don't have to be his opponent!

There are people beside me who are much smarter and more capable than I am of comparing to Emperor Kars.

That was the answer I got today.

The ligand territory is busy.

The veil clings to work without a moment's rest. My body was hard, but my mind was quiet and full of strength. The motive for completing what he wanted to do was to revitalize him endlessly.

“It's done!”

Baron Paoni comes into the Oval Office and shouts. It was awkward that night, and the unshaven beard was stretched out.

Baron Paoni spreads the dried paper around the table.

It was a blueprint.

It was a design drawing of a fortress cleverly traversed in the mountains of ligand territory.

Embedded in dozens of peaks, large and small defenses draw the enemy into narrow, rough lanes.

In pursuit of perfect utility, he did not include any art or architectural beauty, but when he looked at the design drawings, he felt the drama of architecture surpassing his aesthetic senses.

“Baron Paoni. ”

“Something wrong? ”

When asked roughly, Vale laughs.

“What's the baron's limit? ”

Baron Paoni, who had little military knowledge, wondered how he had designed this fortress.

Baron Paoni laughs.

“Utilize total available resources to meet client Needs for purpose and environment. That's what genius is. ”

Baron Paoni proved to be a true genius who crossed all genres without any particular discipline.

At that time, another man visited the office.

It was Captain Dean in charge of military affairs in the territory.

“Lord Vale, the Lord's letter. ”

Vale reads the letter Dean handed over.

Then I smiled.

“Looks like the Lord has finally recognized our efforts. He's giving three of us 500 Redinas. ”

“1500 Radinas in total……. You don't have enough money to make a hard bargain. ”

Dean laughs as he says.

“Yes!”

Baron Paoni likes it, too.

And a festival took place in ligand territory. The festival, which the colonists participated in and enjoyed, was in return for their passion for the territory.
