“That's right. If the Kingdom of Leaden is defeated there, the problem becomes more serious." The results can also be divided into two scenarios. ”

“Tell me.”

“Even if the Legion is defeated, the late King Eric Ledon, or Caroc Ligand, must survive. One must survive to become a source of concern for the Leden Kingdom. That way, the Kingdom of Leaden will not be completely destroyed, but will continue to resist, and the Kingdom of Arizona will also send troops to drive out the Horn Empire together. ”

Without lips, my teeth would be dry.

The Orient Kingdom always wanted to use the Kingdom of Leaden as a shield against provocation from the Horn Empire.

He didn't want to face the border with the war-torn kingdom of Kars, whose nobles are at war and dreaming of conquest.

“The worst would be the death of King Erik, the Marquis of Ligands, and Prince Giren. The remaining forces of the divided Kingdom of Leaden will be trampled on by the Horned Empire, and it is the duty of the Kingdom of Asia to prevent the conquest of the continent of Kars. ”

“The emperor will try to kill everyone he can think of as a distraction. ”

“Of course.”

At the present time, there were two options for King Orien.

First, send troops now to help the Kingdom of Leaden.

Secondly, or we wait for the two nations to perish with a better view.

The first choice is a safe decision.

Even if Emperor Kars is defeated in the Battle of the Ledon Plains, the Horn Empire will not fall immediately. However, if King Erik is defeated, the Kingdom of Ledon is likely to collapse immediately.

If we deploy more than 100,000 troops immediately to help the Kingdom of Leaden, at worst, even if King Erik dies, we can unite with the rest of the Kingdom of Leaden to stop the Horn Empire.

After all, the war must be fought in the lands of the Kingdom of Leaden, not here in the Kingdom of Orien.

However, the conflict with the Orient King was due to the huge gains that the second choice would bring.

When the Kingdom of Leaden and the Horn collapse together, the Kingdom of Orien will once again be a fisherman's territory in the Midwest.

‘There's been a similar choice before. ’

It was when King Erik had just waged a civil war with the Second Sons over the throne.

At that time, the duck king failed to make his decision early and did not get good results.

He later tried to intervene in favor of the two princes, but the situation was already favorable to King Eric, who had already fought ahead of the battlefield and demonstrated strong leadership. Under such circumstances, the late intervention of the Orient Kingdom provoked a landscape that was quietly watching the situation.

Earl Wolfgang Lanchel immediately joined King Eric's camp and eliminated the remaining forces of the Second Sons. The Orions acted quickly before they could turn the tide.

He was the king of Orion, who had to inherit his army with no income.

It was a bitter memory.

You're under the yoke of lack of decisiveness.

‘It's really unfair. It's true I failed to make a decision, but I'm not as tenacious as I look. ’

Think about it.

Could a mild and decisive monarch have been able to Purge and conquer an absolute kingdom as soon as a hostile faction appeared?

King Orien had only lost his sense of foreign politics to focus most of his life on the inner circle.

The current pandemic of the Orient royal regime was the greatest achievement of the Orient King.

I managed to eliminate the opposing factions early, secure the throne and prevent the aristocrats from spreading even after I inherited the throne without mounting it.

The Duke of Britain, who played the biggest role in the process, grew up to be the best cause in the Orient Kingdom, but he also felt safe about it.

The Grand Wizard Raymond and Duke Britain were on top of each other.

Under the reign of the Orient, the Duke of Britain and Earl Raymond were created to have equal power. By dispersing the power of the two, the Orient King continues to maintain his supreme rule.

That was the result of King Orien's inner circle.

Duke Britain was also not an overzealous and wise man, so he realized the importance of the king of Orion and followed him gently. The Orient Kingdom, unlike the Kingdom of Ledon, had a fairly stable political situation.

‘But that wasn't necessarily the right decision. ’

The mistake the Orient King made was Earl Raymond.

The Grand Wizard.

The characteristics of the tribe as wizards exploring the truth of the universe were unknown to King Orion.

It was a deterrent to the Duke of Britain in the beginning, but the Duke of Raymond had no interest in power whatsoever.

Of course, with King Orion trusting and Duke Britain respecting him enough, the Granite Islands will remain in this generation. Who would ignore the Great Wizard?

But what the Orient King was worried about was his next generation.

Duke Britain raised a great successor, Raell. It also has the power of a deeply rooted family, so it will continue to reign even after the retirement of the late genius Duke Britain.

But Marquis Raymond has not the slightest idea of building a power base. He wanted the Wizards to continue their role in deterring the Duke of Britain.

Furthermore, there was no wood for the Great Wizard to follow behind Earl Raymond.

A number of disciples were being raised, but none of them emerged to be exceptionally fit to become the next Grand Wizard.

Once Earl Raymond retires, that's it. Duke Britain will be second without rivals, eventually side-by-side with the Orient royal family.

‘By the time I die, Raell Briton will be more powerful than the king. ’

The stability of the nation is achieved in establishing the absolute kingdom.

I have lived for that belief all my life, and the result will disappear with my own death. What could possibly go wrong like that?

I was in a hurry to think about it, but there was a debt situation here.

It has come to our attention that Prince Raell Briton, who has been appointed commander of the Orient Royal Army, is being treated with royal honor in the Kingdom of Ledon.

If it's a power struggle, King Orien realizes it's King Leaden's plot.

You too must have orchestrated this duc in the battle against the Horn Empire, in case the Orient Empire were caught fishing.

Something to provoke the alertness of the Orient King by deliberately naming the Duke of Britain's successor Raell as a royal personage.

He was not a foolish Orion king enough not to realize his tactics.

But the problem was that the scheme was working. After receiving extreme treatment in the Kingdom of Leaden, Raell will have the right to receive it, whether he likes it or not.

I've already been treated like this, but what if I learn a great lesson in war and improve it?

‘Then growth is too fast. ’

Raell expected to eventually grow as Duke Britain's successor, but the schemes of the Ledon royals have allowed him to grow much faster than expected.

"What kind of masterpiece is this? No matter what you're up to, you've stabbed the weakness you have to care about. Caroc ligand? No, it's a little nasty to say it came out of his head. Maybe it's Louis Concern, the Treasurer. ’
