“Some enemies……. I think I've heard of it. ”

The Marquis of Great Gen mutters.

Earl Halstein said.

“A horde called the Condol Cavalry, raised by the late Ligand. Earl Kaison sent 15,000 cavalry to stop them, but they're struggling because they're moving so fast. The number of attacks on them is increasing, so I'm expecting the turbulence of the nomadic soldiers. ”

“If it's prolonged, the internal fluctuations of the allies will be large enough to be a major anxiety factor. I don't know why the enemy can stir things up so freely in mainland Asia. The supplies must be a problem for now. ”

The Marquis of Juden asks.

Earl Halstein replied:

“Regarding the question, Earl Kaison has made a statement, presumably hiding food in the meadows before the war. ”

“If the army is deployed with 15,000 mounted troops and they can't catch them, that means they outmaneuver many of the nomadic horsemen. ”

“Yes.”

The Marquis of Juden looks at Emperor Kars and says,

“Your Majesty, God thinks there are two options. ”

“Speak.”

“The first is to order the lords of the motherland to take out their armies and subdue them. Less power loss for allies currently at war than for some of your troops. And the second is to decide the war early before it strikes. ”

“I see.”

“The idea of God is that the first one is the most OK. In order to settle early as the second option, the Kingdom of Ledden must attack the heavily fortified territory of Houdini, where he will not have the opportunity to use the mercenaries prepared by His Majesty, but will volunteer for a disadvantage. ”

In response, Emperor Kars gives an awkward twisted smile.

“That's a different point of view. I will take the second course of action, as you said. ”

“Yes? You mean to attack Houdini territory? ”

Emperor Kars shakes his head.

“Make your decision early. However, they will not attack Houdini territory. ”

“But King Leaden doesn't want to leave Houdini territory. ”

“Make it come out. ”

Everyone became a curious face.

Emperor Kars said.

“We will advance the troops by 100,000 to attack the lands of the northern Ledon Kingdom simultaneously. 50,000 also target the lands of the central region and 50,000 to the east. If you almost attack the entire territory, the nobles of the Kingdom of Leaden will also be greatly shaken when they march with an army. ”

The Marquis of Great Gen tilts his head.

“Surely if your territory were to be attacked, the hordes gathered in Houdini territory would be a bit of a turd ride. If I'm not mistaken, there are only about 120,000 men left in the king's army after sending an ally to every corner. W-what's the number of enemies? ”

“Estimated army of noble families attending the Ledon Royal Army 120,000, and more than 60,000 members of the Orient Royal Army. That's a total of 260,000. ”

Earl Halstein replies.

The Marquis of Jurden spoke to Emperor Kars in a serious tone.

“Your Majesty! I heard the enemy is weak in tying, but I can't fight them with 120,000...!" ”

“At that point, they'll respond to the field. ”

A crooked smile does not leave Emperor Kars' mouth.

“The lords of Leaden are left unsettled by the news that their territory is under attack, and the enemy emperor is approaching with an army of only 120,000. I'll crawl out of there because I want to try. ”

Now no one could tell whether it was just a smirking smile, or whether it was really a distorted pleasure like that smile.

“I will see the end of this one fight. A mercenary who has been prepared for it. ”

They were able to recognize the role model of this war, which was conceived by Emperor Kars.

It was a disruptive, bold, and reckless and confident strategy. Moreover, it was also a proof of the identity of King Kars himself, who believes he is the rebirth of Crocente Bezalius.

Long ago, Duke Bezalius faced a plateau of 500,000 soldiers from the Orient Empire with only 70,000 men. In that great slalom, he won a magnificent victory with a great mercenary technique that remained on record that no one has reproduced to this day.

The disadvantage of the situation, as well as that of the mercenaries at the time, was impeccable to reproduce Emperor Kars.

Royal Orion soldiers led by Raell have arrived with me at Earl Houdini.

King Erik, who was contacted, came out with the officials and the Royal Knights, and Count Hoodini, the owner of the territory, was among the lords who wanted to see the arrival of the Royal Army of Orion.

With such a great vision, Raell was stunned.

“King Leaden? ”

“Welcome, Earl Raell Briton. Thank you so much for coming all the way here. ”

“I don't know what to do with my visions. His Majesty is here to see you. ”

“I am here on behalf of the Orient and the noble Duke of Britain is coming. How can I stand it?" ”

“I am only armed with the king's order, so please stop blaspheming and be at ease. ”

Answer like a nerd.

But King Erik is a man of many talents.

“As I've heard, I'm humbled by my abundance of abilities. The future of the Orient Kingdom is bright because talents like you will lead the country. ”

Well done. King Erik was the one who raised Raell to be the future leader of the country.

“Th-that too……. ”

“Hahaha, don't panic and just take it easy. It's nice to have someone as precious as you here to help me when the country is in such a crisis. ”

“I'm ashamed. I would have been ruined had it not been for the help of the late lord ligand, being attacked on my way here." ”

“I've been told that story before. It's a glorious victory, indeed, but it's another glorious victory. ”

“My victory? ”

Rael's eyes widen.

“A victory for all of us. While Sir was dispatching and detaining his enemies, the arriving Chancellor struck them down, so the joint ventures between the two nations have been glowing since the first battle. I will send a letter of my gratitude to the royal court. ”

“Th-that's... thank you. ”

Raell was very nervous.

I felt cheerful inside, holding back my smile. It seems like it's been a long time since I've seen King Erik like this.

When they looked at each other, they even left their identities and appeared to be close friends. Not only was King Erik welcoming, but they were both young.

Even they were both handsome. That's one big picture. I'm so glad my wives didn't see this. If it were Julia, she'd make fun of me compared to them. Tsk, but the good-looking ones...

Regardless, Raell and the Orient royal army entered Earl Houdini. With the Orient royal army arriving, we are ready to fight the Horn Empire.

After taking control of the second fortress, the Royal Air Force slowly pursued the retreating Ligand territory.

Likewise, the Ligand Territories thought they would go deep into the mountains and defend themselves in difficult fortresses.

Surprisingly, the Ligand Territory escaped the mountainous terrain and headed for a flat forest.

However, their pursuit soon came to a halt.

“What is this landscape? Gosh, I think it was the enemy. ”

Duke Romfel tilts his head.

The desolate forest, burning with fire, welcomed the Royal Air Force.

It was just a sad reminder that the trees that were left behind were once very dense.

“The enemy must have been burned. ”

The dried bird approaches and says.

“But it's strange. It's not like we opened fire when we walked in, it's like we burned this forest down before we even started fighting in the first place. ”

“I don't know about English, but I think it was for a fight, right? ”

“Yes…. ”

The dried bird replies confidently.

I couldn't figure out what else the figure called the veil was up to. The fact that it's not a mountainous area that is easy to defend means that something has been prepared for this forest.

Then, a soldier shouted.

“Look over there! ”

Duke Romfel and the dried bird look at the direction the soldier is pointing. You can see the water coming in gradually from the east. The Tex River, which flows near the east, flooded to this point.

However, there was no reason why the river was flooded because it had never rained recently.

“Enemy forces have blocked the Tex River with banks and flooded it. You know their intentions. Maybe they're here to invite us to a clay fight. ”

“Mud fight? Tell me more easily. ”

“What's easier to say than that? Take a look."

The dried wood points to a land that is drenched in abundant river water. Oh, and Duke Romfeld understood.

“It's mud.”

“I see. Mud. ”

Duke Romfel scratched his head and laughed.

“They must really be trying to stop us. ”

A ligand territory that burned down the forest and flooded the river to create a whole area of mud. No matter what you do, you feel the resolve to stop the Grand Duke of Rompel.

“The ground has turned to mud, so it will be a tough, uneasy fight. No, I thought I'd just gotten used to the mountain, but now that I've met the mud, it's easier to get tired. ”

“But we have to march. It can be nothing. ”

“Yes. Fortunately, our allies have had the advantage. ”

“What is it? ”

“The battlefield has been moved to the Tex River Basin. The Tex River runs down to the Baden River. I can ask Earl Kaison, who is in charge of supply, to supply the supplies to the ship. ”

It was really nice considering the pain it took to transport the troops to the rugged mountains.

“First, we must request supplies from Earl Kaison and destroy the dam blocking the river. We have to stop the mud from getting worse. ”

“I see. I'll leave you to it, then. Do it yourself."

After leaving his troublesome work to the parrot, Duke Romfel stares beyond the muddy wasteland.

“Mud fight.... ”

Duke Romfel laughed.

“You've chosen a wonderful place to judge. I like it. Basque Kunt, Rick Fernando. ”

The last battle was imminent in ligand territory.
