Reincarnated as an Aristocrat with an Appraisal Skill
Episode 111: Concurrent Attacks
The next day, a military conference was held.
Meicians have also been wintering lately and were getting chilly.
It seems to be somewhat of a warm winter this year, but it could snow if plugged in late June. That would make the march very difficult, so I just want to rush the offense.
"Now, start a military debate on the Starz Castle offensive"
Attack Fort Bardsen and move on to the Starz Castle offense next.
Starz Castle is a castle that guards the streets that lead to Belzd Castle.
If we don't drop this place, it's hard to get a massive army through to Belzd.
It is a castle built on flat ground, but on top of the very high walls, the walls themselves are made of a material that is difficult to magic, plus it is well prepared for defensive magic. It is a very strong castle. Dropping is a struggle is a must, but if there is a difference in power now, it is not unlikely that it can still be dropped.
I heard from Lupa about the general defending Starz Castle, etc.
The possibility of betrayal seems very unlikely, so we have to drop it with a force attack or a siege.
"You'll be able to invade Starz Castle directly from Fort Bardsen, but there's a problem with that. Right here."
Klan points to the map of Belzd laid in front of him.
At the tip of the pointing was a castle northwest of Starz Castle, called Lort Castle.
"If you ignore this castle and go to attack Starz Castle, you could be poked in the back. They won't be able to drop Starz Castle this time, so reinforcements will be coming from Belzd, too, so they'll be pinched. That's not good. We need to drop this place."
That's how Clan explained it.
Indeed, there is Castle Lorto just in a difficult position to ignore.
Given the importance of Starz Castle, I guess I placed this castle in a position where I could go to reinforcements.
"But even if we go to drop only Castle Lorto, naturally then the forces of Castle Starz and Belzd will come to reinforcements and be sandwiched. So I think it's a good idea to attack Starz Castle and Lorto Castle at the same time, with the soldiers at your disposal, but what do you think?
There was no disagreement with the clan's opinion.
There will be very few disadvantages in separating soldiers if they are so good in numbers, and I thought it would be a good strategy.
"So the army to Starz Castle, as I lead, is the army to Lorto Castle, but Le Maire leads me"
"Is that me?
Le Maire rounded her eyes to see how unexpected it was.
"Oh, dissatisfied?
"No, if the clan asks me to lead the army, I will do my best."
If Le Mail leads an army attacking Castle Lorto, I'm likely to join an army attacking Castle Lorto as well.
It was a little surprising that Le Mail was the Admiral.
There seem to be a few who are better than Le Mail, but is that all you get from the clan?
Anyway, it was decided to invade Castle Lorto, led by Le Maire.
There appear to be about five thousand soldiers in the enemy Castle of Lorto, and ten thousand soldiers will be deposited in Le Maire twice that.
Since the aim is to prevent the march from Castle Lorto, if the fall of the castle cannot be allowed, it does not seem necessary to let it.
It's just that the enemy will definitely be setting up a field battle to go to reinforcements to Starz Castle.
Then the soldiers in the enemy castle will almost come out and fight, so you can assume that if you win that battle, you can also take the castle.
"Now, I don't think we can lose if we have double soldiers, but Lupa said there are a lot of horseman riders so that we can fly reinforcements to Starz Castle quickly. On top of being highly skilled, it would be a battle on the plains topographically, so I can't say enough that I can definitely win because of the high number. So I'm going to add the Maitro Mercenaries to my army to Castle Lort. The Maitro Mercenaries are field specialists."
The Maitro Mercenaries?
The most powerful and prestigious mercenary regiment, but so far no noticeable activity.
It's only natural that there hasn't been a decent fight.
With that said, you didn't appraise the captain's clamant.
I'm not in the military forum, so I'll try to appraise you later.
We were to join Le Mail's army and take part in the attack on Castle Lort.
