A few days have passed since I heard reports that Sitz has moved on.

Mireille only expected Bassamark to move and the clan to be unable to send reinforcements.Even if she is intelligent, the chances of mistakes are not zero.

I want it to be unexpected, but wait for a reply with a longer neck.

The beacon rushed into the room.

Arus! Clan sent you a reply! Hurry and let them know! "

There you are!

I received the brief at once and read the contents.

The clan's report was as Mireille expected.

At the same time that the Sights began preparing for the invasion, it appears that Bassamark moved his troops.

It appears to have moved its soldiers on a fairly large scale, and even thinning the castle's defenses, it has moved to recapture Beltzdo.

The Clan initially thought it was like a bet, believing in the defenses of Arcantez Castle, but found out that the Sights were starting to prepare for progress and that they had made a deal with the Sights behind their back, not a bet.

Beltzdo is a very important piece of land that has been painstakingly seized.We must defend ourselves with all our might, because we cannot be robbed here.

There are a lot of troops out of Alcantes, so the clan has to send a lot of troops there, and they can't send a large reinforcement to Canale.

But I'm not abandoning Kanale, I'm going to be a few, but I think they're sending reinforcements.

The number is 20,000.

The number of Canale soldiers was about 8,000, with a total of 28,000 and still a huge loss, but the difference in the number of troops that could be dropped in a quick attack was no longer significant.

Though small in number, resources and supplies seem to be flowing abundantly.

It also states that reinforcements will be sent to the Maitreau mercenary regiment.

The Maitlaw Mercenaries have fought together before.

It is led by a fairly capable leader and a highly qualified mercenary regiment.I also know that I don't do much to get out of the previous fight, so I can trust you.

Clan seems to be willing to buy us some time first, as he will drive Bassamark out and reinforce himself before Canale is dropped.

The letter says, "I will definitely go to reinforcements, so don't give up even if you are disadvantaged, and don't surrender."

Looks like we know we might surrender if this gets really bad.

Well, there's a difference in the number of soldiers, but if we keep it safe, we might be able to keep it safe.Clans are strong in battle, and it won't be so hard to get rid of Bassamark.Let's trust the clan and fight.

Anyway, we need to start the military debate as soon as possible.

As it stands, I am at Canale Castle and Ritz is not here now, as he is heading to a point on the state border to build a formation.This time, we'll have to negotiate without the Ritz.

Ritz, who gives a sober opinion, can't help but rely on it in the military council.

We gathered the ministers and began a military council.

"Twenty thousand. Well, it's a subtle number, but it's not impossible."

Mireille heard a report from her clan and said so.

"Well, maybe more than twice... it might be pretty tough... but it's nice to hear that the Maitlaw mercenaries are coming... but after all, the battles are only a few..."

Rossell is in negative mode or is she murmuring with a slightly blue face.

"I wish I could find out more about the enemy's strategic resources and the number of troops, but don't you have any information yet?"

Shadow has been looking into the enemy's information, and it came in just before the clan contacted us.

The Sitz army has not yet begun an invasion of Kanale, but it seems to be aiming for Kanale.

The number of soldiers is about 80,000, as originally expected.

We have plenty of food.

It looks like we can keep fighting for at least a year.

There are a few magic resources.

The Sights don't produce much flame magic stones, and the best one is the soil magic stone.

Earthwork magic can help you quickly create earth and moats.Useful for defending, but unsuitable for attacking.

High-ranking magicians seem to be able to create and fly hard iron to attack, but common magicians can only dig holes and build walls.

Sometimes the relationship with the Sits has been bad for a long time, and not many of the flame magic stones calculated in Michian are exported.

Flame magic is a magic that is very suitable for attacking, without which you will lack the attacker's hand.

However, there is a problem and it is possible that a small number of them possess the magic water of the explosion.

Explosive magic water needed to use explosive magic.

Explosive magic stones, the raw material of magic water, are only produced in Michian and certainly not exported to the Sights, but they seem to have them somehow.

Perhaps Bassamark gave it to me in some way.

Explosive magic is a magic that is very advantageous for invading.Since Charlotte was using it, I know its power.

The enemy is not as good as Charlotte, but Shadow also brought me information that some of the known magicians were there.

Even if it's not as powerful as Charlotte put it out, it might be possible to use explosive magic of considerable power.

It also appears that the man in charge of the invasion is not the man who became the new governor of Sitz, but a man named Borots Hagando, the new governor's most loyal and instrumental in the success of the invasion, is taking command of the soldiers.

Looks like a pretty capable commander, destroying 100,000 enemy troops with 30,000 troops.It is said that the defeat on the side of the former Viceroy Sitz was decisive after a great deal of pain in the defeat.

If you think about it, the enemy is a successful force and some talented people.

It's better not to think of yourself as the only good minister.

"We have plenty of food, few magic water for flames, and few magic water for explosions.And the enemy generals are good people... or... how was your morale?It's an important part of the battle. "

"It didn't seem so exciting because there was a big battle and then it started to happen."

"Well, morale has to be so high.However, if the opponent is a good general, he may have enough ways to boost the morale of the soldiers, so I wonder if he is weak. "

Rossell expected so.

It's not going to change in a tough situation.

Mireille murmured when she heard the information.When it comes to saying it's tough, the face is on him.

"Do you think you can win?"

"The goal of this victory is not to do great damage to the enemy forces, but to get rid of them.Then victory is not impossible. "

Rosell nodded at Mireille's words.

"Yes, the Sitz army is attacking Kanale for some benefit.Maybe he made a deal with Bassamark.If the Sights think they have more to lose than what they gain from attacking the Canale, I think they will turn back.I don't know what the Sits will gain from attacking the Canale, but they won't get it until they have a lot of casualties. "

"... in other words, the Sights should think that the disadvantages are greater to attack."

Rosell nodded.

"To do that, it's the nose of the battle.You need to get your nose out.At first, if the morale of the enemy is lowered at once, however famous the opponent may be, it will take a lot of work to restore it.There's a good chance they won't be forced to attack. "

Mireille talks about how to make you think the disadvantages of attacking Canale are great.

Does it bite your nose?

Getting rid of your enemies while you're losing a few is certainly the best way to do it.

We have Charlotte, a very powerful magician, and Ritz, who is quite good at directing troops.

In addition, if the Maitlaw mercenaries are coming to reinforce themselves, the quality of the soldiers is not defeated by the enemy forces.No, you have a good chance of winning.

"I think we need a lot of help from Charlotte again."

"Please, Miss Charlotte."

Rosell said to Charlotte, who was there for the military council.

"Ghhhhh"

I was snoring and sleeping because I didn't know whether it was free or not.His mouth was drooling with saliva, and he looked stupid.

I was a little worried that I would have to entrust her with the fate of Kanale, but, well, the magic she's using on the battlefield is like a monster, so let's trust her....

"I'll have Shadow report on the enemy's movements, find out how he feels about attacking, and set up a team in a place that might be a little more advantageous.Even if we are in a slightly better position, there are a lot of them, so if we can win, they will step on us.We'll take it back. I don't think so. "

That's what Rossell said.Anyway, now we need to wait for the enemy to move.

The Shadows are brilliant, but we can't find out what tactics the enemy forces will attack against the boulders.If you have time, you may be able to do your best, but your enemies won't give you that much time.

I don't think Rosell and Mireille will be able to predict the enemy's tactics.

The war ends here once and for all.

Reinforcements arrived before Shadow gave us the Sights.

The enemy appears to be slightly delayed in transporting magic water and has not yet fought.The amount of magic water Shadow initially reported is actually higher.Hostile threat level increased slightly.

We also have reinforcements full of flame magic water, so 20,000 people have come to reinforce us, but the strength has increased considerably.

And the Maitreau mercenary regiment came, and I reunited with the captain Clamant.

Good to see you again.

I had an unexpected resumption with Clamant.

He is as cold as ever.I feel like I'm freezing when I see it.

"I don't know if a kid like you is the Sheriff.Thanks to your strange eyes? "

That's what Clamant said.Did someone tell you that he has my appraisal skills?

Clamant said he didn't like my eyes, and maybe he noticed it himself.

It is an observation eye away from ordinary people.

He was excellent, and I wanted him to be my minister if possible, but somehow I felt that soliciting him now would never succeed.

He is a man who feels such an atmosphere that he doesn't serve others much.

If you don't like it so much, you won't be a minister.

"Well, I don't care about your situation.I've heard that it's quite a crisis this time.I'm getting a lot of money, so let's do the right thing. "

"Comfortable"

I said what I thought from the bottom of my heart.

A man works as much as a mercenary.It's no wonder your clan is paying a huge sum of money, so you can expect battlefield work.

We took reinforcements to the most important Khmer fort on the state border.

If we can contain this Khmer fortress, it will be quite severe, so I will put a lot of troops here.

The main team will be here, and we will send instructions to the soldiers from here.

Ritz quickly created a formation on the street near the fort and laid a line of defense.

The ideal battle would be for the Sights to retreat if they did not have the advantage of causing huge damage to their enemies and attacking us in battle on the front lines of this defense.

We received a report that the Sitz troops were moving as they were preparing for the battle.

Finally, a battle against the Sitz army began.

"Finally, the enemy has moved.Now, the goal is to strike enemies in the first fight and finish the fight quickly.So from the beginning, the Ritz, Charlotte, and Maitlaw mercenaries will fight on the front lines. "

Roger that.

Ritz responded immediately.Neither Charlotte nor Kramant specifically disagreed.

"Strategically, I want to win the first match, but if the enemy is more powerful and the flag color gets worse, I want you to withdraw immediately without being rude and without fighting or dying by mistake."

We can't afford to lose the Ritz.

It is the ideal way to win a battle, but sometimes it doesn't work.

However, if that happens, you don't have to worry too much about food and resources, and if you think your clan is going to send a large number of reinforcements in time, you can manage to earn some time.

Naturally, it would be tough, and you could lose a lot of soldiers.

There is also a danger of being pushed deep into Canale territory, causing the territory to be devastated.

After all, it was undoubtedly the ideal development to win the first round and drive it away.

Ritz nodded at my words, but he might work too hard in battle.In a way, I'm most worried.

Kramant is a mercenary, and Charlotte is not too serious, so he won't hesitate to retreat, but Ritz is serious and loyal, so he might make a mistake here.

I am very anxious because I am only at Fort Khmer and I cannot give instructions nearby.

I said I'd go to the front line with you, but it stopped me.

I am the mayor of the county and the leader of Canare.If you get beaten up here, it will be hard to take control of the soldiers at once, and the loss will be intense.I once again realized that protecting myself today is directly linked to protecting my family and territory.

Well then, I'll fight you.

I waited for the Ritz-Carltons to go to the battlefield with the soldiers, worried.

Regardless of winning or losing at this time, I thought it would be fine if you returned safely.
