Reincarnated into a Werewolf, the Demon Lord Servants

Episode 191

Ashley's damage during the Battle of Nodegrat was enormous.

Of the 30,000 troops, 5,000 were lost. This is the total number of soldiers who have not returned, so they are war dead, fugitives, prisoners, etc.

It is estimated that the Warroy army lost about a thousand. Originally about 40,000, it can be said that it is almost intact.

"But it's not yet gone, right?"

Rashii will add hot tea to us back to the Imperial City.

I took a sip of it and warmed up and asked her a mischievous question.

"Then, if the two sides fought the same way, what would the numbers be?"

Lashii thinks a bit and swiftly responds.

"It's 39,000 to 25,000. Oh, no."

I nod, as she noticed.

"Is the difference in strength bigger than this time? Even if you lose even this time, it will be difficult if you want to win next time."

"So that's it……"

Of course both sides will recruit, and battlefields and tactics will be different.

But it's definitely going to be a tougher battle.

According to a report from Sir Rechomya, who has entered and exited the palace, Ashley's army will abandon combat on the plains and intend to engage in a basketball battle at castles around the Imperial City.

I'm picking tea candy scones and telling Rashii.

"Ashley's army intends to make up for the disadvantages of the number by forging the castle. It is said that the attack on the castle usually requires three to five times as many troops as the defender."

"So much !?"

"I'm also unprofessional at attacking castles, and I don't know much. The attacker has to camp for days and I don't know when the enemy will fly out of the castle.

Then the kite mutters from the side.

"But you know, sometimes you don't go out and squeeze until your opponent's food is gone."

"Oh, but if you're bad, the siege will run out of food, that's it."

Local procurement of food will be quite difficult, as all around is enemies.

"Well, that's where the parties do their best. For us, the Eleanorism is an opportunity to sell high."

It seems that Sir Kastoniev has instigated the lords of East Lolmund, which also has considerable troops.

There are approximately 15,000 eastern Lorumund coalition forces. The mainstays are the Kathoniev family of 3,000 and the Elegora family, the Origanian family of 4,000.

It's hard to beat up as a single faction, but it's a scale that can be turned upside down on either side.

Meanwhile, a messenger from the Royal Palace came to me. Prince Ashley has asked Princess Eleora for help.

I talk to her messenger on behalf of her while having a light lunch.

Let's start with a light check.

"As you know, His Imperial Highness has a low right of succession to the throne, and he does not want the throne."

"Yes, yes, of course."

A baron who manages to come as a messenger for Prince Ashley wipes his forehead.

I nodded happily and kept saying.

"Therefore, the preparation to move troops is only minimal self-defense. I don't think it's going to help much ..."

Eleora doesn't have any soldiers because she's not interested in the throne.

I'm going to do it on purpose.

As I expected, the messenger was in a hurry.

"But keeping the violence of Prince Ivan alone will only torment the people of Rolmund. I would like to ask His Imperial Highness Eleanor to join the rebellion for the security of the Empire ..."

"I was in trouble"

I'm not bothered, but I frown.

No consultation has come from the Dniesk family. Originally, the Eleora and the Dniesks were not friendly, so they may not be able to ask for cooperation anymore. There have been attempts to assassinate Eleora.

In that case, there is no other choice than Prince Ashley.

The problem is selling.

If Prince Ashley isn't driven, we can't afford to cooperate.

Conversely, if we are overtaken to the point where we cannot recover, our troops will be inevitable.

It's not bad for time, but should I check a little?

"Which is Ashley now?"

Then the messenger bows down as if to be afraid.

"I'm sorry. You should be visiting Ashley originally, but you're busy with military talks and inspections ..."

And the messenger softly hides.

"The Sveniki Castle, protected by the Count of Liag, has fallen. It looks like it's a fall ... but it seems that the Earl seemed to be a part of the Dniesk faction. "

The kite behind me opens her mouth casually.

"The Count of Liag is Lord Ashley's Secretary, Lord Weid"

The Dniesk family is a good plot.

You can get one of the castles by turning over the minister, and the spiritual blow to the Ashleys is great.

(Isn't Prince Ashley already useless when it comes to betraying him?)

(Is important information leaked from the betrayed minister?)

And everyone is anxious.

I mean, I'm also worried.

I pretend to be more distressed and muttered.

"Is Sveniki Castle a half day away from the Imperial City?"

When an enemy is taken, the enemy will sortie from there. Even if you repel, you just return to the castle.

Bad, really, Prince Ashley will lose.

I decided to support Prince Ashley, but I don't want to sell it cheap. It puts those who side with Elleora at risk.

So I'll sigh and shake my head.

"If this is the case, I must tell Her Highness that it is dangerous to work with Her Highness Ashley."

"Such !?"

The messenger's face becomes pale.

So I immediately suggested:

"But there is a cause, of course, Ashley. I am a Milardian, but I am not confident that I can walk with Rolmund who has lost the cause. I want my allies to always be noble."

In my words, the messenger's face is now brighter.

"And then ..."

I nodded.

"From my side, let's talk to His Imperial Highness."

"Thank you!"

I prick a nail into the messenger who bows.

"But if you fight, you have to win.

"That's already ..."

I laugh and tell the messenger.

"So, we want to move under the command of Her Highness, not Her Highness, and you will participate in His Highness as an ally of His Highness."

"Why, why?"

Prince Ashley seems to be bad at the war, and we want to do whatever he wants.

I can't say that, so cheat appropriately.

"There are a lot of magical soldiers in the army of Her Majesty, and their operations require expertise, so it is essential to control Her Majesty."

This is a quibble, but whatever is the reason. If you don't like it, don't lend soldiers.

The most is Prince Ashley. You probably know that this is not the case.

I remind my messenger.

"It's what we need to win. Is that OK?"

We will fight not as a member of the Ashley Army, but as an Allied Ashley Eleora. Participation in an equal position.

After the rebellion, he intends to take advantage of the confusion and expand the power of the Eleoraists.

The messenger thought a bit about the conditions that I had set out, but answered while wiping his forehead.

"Because it exceeds my authority, I will take it home once and get the permission of Her Highness Ashley. Are you sure?"

"Yes, it doesn't matter"

I will laugh as gentle as possible.

It was that evening that Prince Ashley sent an imperial carriage to invite me.
