Price of Management

The conference room of the ligand territory was much less humble than the magnificence of the evolving territory. The Sheriff of the Territory worked because he didn't think he needed to spend money to decorate it. It's better to keep the road closer to the territory with that money.

…… I thought, but now the Lord's Vale has become three regrets.

Look at all these people in this conference room!

Earl Basque Kunt.

Earl Rick Fernando.

Richard Buck, the head knight of the Kunt family, Hadin the second knight, and the deputy Royal Special Forces commander, Baruchel.

This room was sinfully filthy and humble because of the gathering of such great figures.

“After the war, the Lord himself must be dealt with. ”

Baron Faroni mutters the same thought. I've never been visited by a nobleman from the outside world before, but it turns out that the Sheriff was the pride of the territory.

Fortunately, everyone noticed that the filth in the conference room didn't bother them.

“Lord Condol. ”

Basque, seated in the chair, opened his mouth quietly.

Patrick steps forward.

“Yes, Earl. ”

“Condol Cavalry was in charge of patrolling the Baden River Basin. What's your status? ”

“I was still in the middle of a fight without a big conflict. However, it has come to our attention that the supplies for the Horn Empire have become more active. ”

“The Antares and the Lindells would have supported the supplies if it were a supply run. ”

“Yes, supplies were primarily moving from that direction to the Horn Empire camp. ”

Basque glances at Glacier Vale. It was a gesture to ask for your opinion. Then the veil said:

“Duke Rompel and the late Kaisson are not just using Commander's intuition. You don't want to just sit around wasting resources. ”

“Of course. They both know how to wage war. ”

“An active supply is like a sign that we'll be moving soon. The combined forces of the Duke Kaison and the Grand Duke of Rompel are well above the unity of the four families of the Baden River, there is no hesitation. I think we're going to have a really tough time soon. ”

“Your family will be in trouble. Different troops, but there's no way to stop that old man, Duke Rompel. ”

Basque muttered as if he was worried.

Can one man's courage affect the battle plan?

Today, when military organizations and strategies and tactics are systematized and staged, there are very few theoretical cases.

Once upon a time, Duke Crocente Bezalius defeated an overwhelming empire called the Orient Empire with his individual abilities, but paradoxically, since his advent, military science and technology have grown dramatically, making national capabilities more important than individual capabilities.

But it was still a man who fought in the battlefield.

War was the site of a violent collision of all kinds of human warlords.

Occasionally, a person's actions affect the psychology of the enemy and his/her allies, which may affect their victory or defeat. This is why a few allies defeat a large number of enemies. That's why I considered military fraud the most.

In that sense, the great Duke Romfel was a living fighting machine.

As I've heard from Caroc Ligand, Duke Romfel's absence surpasses the usual error master. Above all, he has lived a long life on the battlefield, and his very existence is a disgrace to the Horn Empire.

If the Duke of Rompel starts rampaging in battle, your family's alliance with the Baden River will suffer fewer headaches.

“We need to help. ”

The veil was startled by Basque's words.

“Is that really necessary? ”

“We can't just stand by and watch our allies. ”

“The Four Families will survive without help. because they have that much wealth and that much military power. ”

The veil continues to dissent.

“Either Earl Kaison or Duke Rompel will head this way to join the Emperor anyway. Our job is to stop it. The question is, how long can we hold out against the Horn Empire army? ”

“I know. ”

“If we intervene in the battle of the Baden River basin, it is inevitable that either Earl Kaisson or Duke Rompel will move in to attack us. You start the fight early with an impulse. It's not the right choice for us to make the most of our time. ”

“I think Lord Vale's opinion is justifiable. ”

The deputy commander of Royal Special Forces, Baron Bautel, helped. Dean, Baron Paoni and Patrick agreed.

Then Rick opens his mouth, sitting in a stiff position.

“I'm with you on this one. ”

Rick draws attention from everyone.

Rick says.

“I've had one complaint all along. Why is it our only goal is to buy time? Don't you have a target of crushing the enemy? ”

“Realistically, in terms of power, we are outnumbered. Without a terrain advantage, the fight will never form from the beginning. ”

“In numbers, I suppose. But I'm here. ”

Rick shakes his chest.

Deputy Commander Bautel sighs. I couldn't retire at the end of my military years because of that last commander.

“No matter how many numbers there are, if the chief disappears, it's a mess. Count Kaisson or Duke Rompel, if I ambush them and take them out, the fight is won. ”

“Idiot. ”

Few people in the world are able to say these things to Rick, who has become a master of error.

“What is it?”

Rick tries to shoot Basque.

“Do you think it's as easy as it sounds? After killing monsters all this time, they seem to think that the enemy is also an Orc tribe. Besides, what if he's the Duke of Rompel? Do you want to be a match for that old monster?...... I want to say to the lord. You little prick. ”

Basque added that it was okay to stop there.

“I wouldn't know. If there's anyone who can stand up to Duke Rompel, it's me. ”

“What kind of Duke Romfeld can't even beat my master? You need to stop figuring that out, okay? ”

“Theme? This one's on Abby! ”

“Rin, call me Earl Fernando. How long are you gonna keep doing this? ”

“I don't know how to respect the weak. ”

“Hoho, would you like to try again with the acronym? ”

“The sea I wished for! ”

The veil, which saw two growling people, shakes its head with a deep sigh.

Fortunately, there was no fight. However, it is because Basque, who knows the difference between living with a ball, stopped eating and seriously came back to the meeting.

“My lord, I understand what you're trying to say. I think it's perfectly reasonable. But there are two reasons why I think I should intervene in the battle of the Baden River. ”

“What is it? ”

“First, Earl Ranzhel becomes my brother-in-law. We can't afford to see the trouble of Erl Ranzhell's territory in the face of the Horn Empire. ”

Basque was more concerned about the Baden River, because he had also asked his new wife Miranda to take good care of Erl Ranzhel.

“And the second is Duke Rompel. ”

Basque was the horse.

“The four families in Jehovah have built up their military strength based on their wealth and have ensured that they are prepared for war. However, if there is a weakness in such a landscape, it means that there is no experience of war. Since time immemorial, the Knights of War have gathered in the Royal Family, and the Siege Quartermasters are mostly doom and merchants. The response to special forces like the Grand Duke of Rompel will be sloppy. ”

“Hmm.”

Vale groans, because he was right, too.

The aftermath was weak to the powerless. Although the royal authority was not feared, the error master was feared.

Even during the old Baden River toll negotiations, the Horn Empire raised an army and threatened them. The performance of Duke Meutt and the Grand Duke of Halstein in an open match played a huge role in pressuring the aftermath.

“You may look like you could try, but war doesn't pay off like that. Some variables call for a defeat, and one defeat decides the war game in a heartbeat. The Duke of Rompel is a very large variable, and the Union Faction of your House has no skilled commander to control that variable. ”

Basque looked around everyone and said,

“But we can. ”
