Price of Management

“If the Führer had not anticipated, we would have no choice but to wage a war with the Emperor. Your Highness, I think it is the treasure of this country. ”

Louie compliments me as if he was waiting.

Stop it, Louie. You don't have to do this to me. You're the next prize.

I, of course, thought that even Jeron, who was listening next to me, was growing a little chicken.

“After all, the emperor must do as he wishes. We're all set up here, too. The sooner we finish the war, the better. ”

“I agree with the emperor's wishes, but there are some things you need to think about more carefully. ”

Jeron said.

King Erik looks curious.

“You need to be more careful? We've been talking and we're ready. ”

“I don't dispute that conclusion, but what I want to say is a matter of pride. It may seem that the emperor has gambled to draw us out, but once we get to the final stage prepared by the emperor, we also face an extreme fork in the road. ”

Jeron explained:

First, it is very difficult to retreat once Emperor Kars has brought the entire army into the plains chosen by the battlefield.

You leave Emperor Kars' army behind with a huge manoeuvre because the cavalry ratio is so high? It was a self-inflicted disadvantage.

And the second was ligand territory.

“It will take a long time for the Horn Empire to regroup and join the Emperor once it enters the Middle East to the north. But another fight is taking place not far from Earl Houdini here. ”

“Well, if Duke Rompel wins the fight in ligand territory, it means that Duke Rompel is rushing right into our stronghold. ”

“That's right.”

Jeron said.

“So, once we move forward, we need to be prepared for Emperor Kars' swift execution before the victory or defeat of the Ligand Territory is determined." We also have no quarrel. ”

After hearing the explanation, I nodded.

Yeah, it is.

Emperor Kars will have calculated all of its viscosities.

That is why he proposes that we fight with only 120,000 troops. as a kind of adventure.

“If there is a telegram on ligand territory before the battle with the Emperor……. ”

“Then the tide will be in our favor. ”

The defense measures of the Ligand Territory, which Saab Viceroy Vale envisioned, show how important this war is now. Without him, we'd be in a lot more trouble than we are right now.

It was a wise decision in my life to put up with a bandit leader.

Unlike Jeron and Louie, Vale is an unproven figure who has never heard of him in his past life.

I want to commend my judgment on the veil. Thank God for the veil.

Regardless of Jeron's statement, King Erik was perhaps even more distressed.

Fight or not, it's up to you to decide every fate. It was a burden to be burdened as a monarch of a country. That's why King Erik sought talent to help him make wise decisions like Earl Duron.

King Erik bites his lower lip and enters the closet.

Everything can be a bubble, no matter what great enemies you've built up so far.

The king who lost his country in history was only worth that much.

King Erik opens his mouth.

“I can't decide right now. There is time to consider that Emperor Kars is still not on the march. First, let's put a scorpion in the ligand territory to see what's going on. ”

“Yes, Your Majesty. ”

He was determined to make sure that the ligand territory would last long enough against the Grand Duke of Rompel. If the ligand territory is captured during the battle with the Emperor, the rear end will be in danger and will fall into the Everywhere Herb.

“I'd rather go myself than put a scorpion in. ”

I stepped out.

King Erik looks surprised.

“You mean the Chancellor? ”

“Yes. It doesn't matter if I'm absent here for a while, because I fly faster than sending a scorpion." ”

Besides, I'm not here to help, I'm just here to see how things are going, and Dad and Rick won't be offended.

Of course, while you're gone, you could use a little help with the animosity.

“I see. It is a land of treasure, so you must go yourself." ”

“Yes, I'll be back as soon as I can. ”

“So be it.”

I left the conference room as soon as King Erik gave me permission.

I let my servant speak to my family and immediately flew into the sky.

We had no time to hesitate because we were arguing urgently.

* * *

As I was flying over the Ligand territory, I noticed a crowded area.

Oh my god...

A much larger number of the Horn Empire and the Ligand Territories were at odds with the population.

A wooden fortress that the Ligand Territory relies on. Perhaps that was the last line of defense, the Third Keep.

Baron Paoni, the genius architect, designed it well, but he was utterly humbled by the horrific history of the Horn Empire.

Isn't the commander leading the Horn Empire a monster named Duke Romfel? His axe will be a pyre of wood in no time.

I have no idea how long I can hold out.

Fortunately, the battle is not yet underway. It is the Ligand Territory that needs time, and the sooner the Horn Empire is, the better. You don't know why you're not actively engaged in an attack.

I guess I'll have to hear the details from Vale.

I descended straight into the third keep.

The soldiers recognized me and shouted at me.

“Huh? The lord! ”

“It's Earl Ligand! ”

“Waaaahhhh!! ”

The third fortress was immediately engulfed in intense screams.

I see my men, Vale, Dean and Rex, running headfirst, hearing that I'm here. I waved my hand greetings to them.

“Hey, how are you guys doing? ”

“Lord!”

“What brings you here? ”

These three are the commanders of direct combat, so they appear immediately after being on site.

“I've come to see the situation here in your name. ”

I nodded straight away to see if Lord Vale understood what I said.

“It's not hard for His Majesty to worry about this place being torn down. ”

It's so convenient to talk to intelligent kids. I wonder why a kid like this never got over his name before.

I tapped Vale on the shoulder.

“I've heard a lot about you over the years. Your balls are so big. ”

“You're welcome. Thanks to the hard work of others, I am otherwise... ”

“Aigoo, you're being modest again. You're the only reason this country is alive. The strategy of invading the Horn Empire mainland is coming from inside your head. ”

Dean and Lex responded.

“That's right, Lord. The lieutenant led the fight to a meticulous strategy. ”

“That's the part everyone here recognizes. ”

“Everyone says that, so I don't know what to do. ”

The veil was so shy that I didn't know what to do.

I reached out my hand to that veil.

“Here.”
