Reincarnated as an Aristocrat with an Appraisal Skill
Chapter 114: Reinforcements
Marching to Castle Lorto.
"Boy, I got a report from Shadow."
That's what Mireille has said.
I had decided to get a report from Shadow with the magic of the transmitter, which sends sounds to certain catalysts. Although the transmitter has a distance limit, Shadow has several members, so he was able to get the information here fairly quickly if he relayed and reported several times.
The contents of the report are that the soldiers of Castle Lorto came forward thirty minutes ago. The number of troops is five thousand, as assumed.
Transmits can only deliver simple sounds, but conversation was possible with the accustomed ones.
Mireille was so used to the transmitter that she was left to the role of receiving.
Communicate the report to Le Maire.
"As expected."
"Yes."
"If the enemy is in formation, we should put a formation on this street."
and Mireille said so.
"Why?
"I'm pretty much sure they're coming through here because it's going to take too long if we don't go through this plan street for enemy horseback squads to rush to reinforcements. Assuming you're going somewhere else, we'll just have to cover the horseback squad that's been robbed of mobility."
That was my best opinion.
This time, one of the roles is to stop enemy reinforcements, and it makes sense to think about putting them in the streets for that purpose.
Then decide where to form.
The enemy horseback squad would come all the way around here in a day, so I picked it from nearby.
It was not the best place, but it is important to arrange the place quickly.
Install the fence forward in a hurry to prepare for enemy horseback assault.
The wood was originally prepared and transported, so it could be installed quickly.
All we have to do is wait for the enemy to come.
Though there are twice as many soldiers this time, we're talking about the enemy being strong.
Horse-riding assaults can greatly disrupt the control of the soldiers and cause them to be hit.
If you do poorly, you'll die, so you have to stay focused and come to war.
As we waited for the enemy to attack, we received another report to Mireille's catalyst.
Has the enemy arrived just around the corner?
The anticipation came off beautifully.
"... hey, that turned out to be funny"
Mireille laughs when she gets a report.
I don't get the conversation at the transmitter.
"What's the report coming?
asked.
I am slightly anxious because Mireille said it was interesting.
Because it feels different than normal, this woman.
"They went an unexpected route if they expected the enemy troops to come straight here. When I followed him with concern, I arrived at a place called Dundle Plains. There's another army on that Dundle Plain, and they're joining us."
"... what?
"Well, the point is, they had reinforcements."
"Reinforcements? From where?"
"From what I've seen of the flag, it looks like it belongs to the Serdora family, County Chief of Burton County"
Burton County is a county on the northeast side of Belzd.
There must have been a position where we could send reinforcements to Castle Lorto.
But according to the story, this Barton County was either attached to the clan or to the Basamark, and should have been in a neutral position at the moment.
So I should have come to the conclusion for a while that I could leave you alone...
"How long have the reinforcements been here?"
Only a Basamarc nobleman in Burton County may have just sent out reinforcements privately. That would be hundreds, many and a thousand or so reinforcements, so not so many as to consider it problematic.
"Five thousand seemed to be at least."
"... oh my God"
Apparently, in a short period of time, the county has wrapped up that it should be attached to Basamark.
It is an unexpected event.
Now it's a plus five thousand, and on the number, it's mutual.
I report reinforcements to Le Maire.
Le Mail was quite surprised and was set to hold an urgent military conference.
