Reincarnation into the Barrier Master

A month later, an envoy from the Data Empire came to Linus.

And the messenger came not unto the city of Agarta, but unto the house of the Imperial Capital, where Linos dwelt. And it was his brother-in-law, the Duke of Vaillas.

Surprised by his sudden visit, Linus greeted Vailas with his wives.

"No, I'm sorry I pushed you all of a sudden."

"No, I don't mind, but what's the matter?"

Actually, I had a request from the inside.

An internal request?

At that time, Rico, who was standing next to Linus, changed his mind. It is clearly a sign of anger. Sensing it sensitively, Vaillas waved her hand in a panic.

"Sister, you're wrong!" It's not what your sister imagined. "

"I wish..." It's about you. I'll make the same mistake again... "

“A similar mistake?”

With a strange expression on his face, Linos coughs up Vailus as though he was shining. Rico was still sharpening his gaze on Viras.

In an attempt to change such an atmosphere, Vailas corrected his posture and turned to Linus and the others again.

“To tell the truth, the Sauerfund Empire has called for reinforcements. Moreover, it was written in the letter that we would like to seek reinforcements from the Agarta Kingdom through our country."

The Sephardic Empire?

"... it's your mother's home."

Rico opens his mouth without putting any hair in it. As if waiting for his voice, Vairas took a map from his pocket and spread it on the table.

"This is my hero data empire." The Sefand Empire is a continent separated by the northeast. ”

"Ah... this place is next to the continent where the Kingdom of Bahri 'a is."

“It's on the left, right next to Ride Island.”

And then, it's the closest you can get from Dolga.

“Yes, from Dolga, we will arrive in about two weeks to Sandoz, the capital of the Saifand Empire.”

"Two weeks? It's going to take a long time..."

“Yes, after all, the Sauerfund Empire is vast, and the Gerrard Mountains, which run across the continent, are more than five thousand meters high. It takes a lot of days to get past here.”

"Tall mountains..." If that's the case, it's going to be hard to get around. Even digging a tunnel through the mountains is a different story. "

"Actually, there is a tunnel."

Ah, is that so?

“However, since we are digging with human hands, the size is limited, and when the army enters it, it suffocates.”

"I see, I can come and go, but..."

"That's right."

So you're sending in reinforcements?

"From the sea, right?" The best way to get from this port town called Mikal is by land to Sandoz, the capital of the Empire. ”

"Does it still take two weeks?"

"I see... the tide is fast around here, and it's flowing from north to south." It's a long way from Dolga to Mikal, and even if you keep rowing, it's going to take a long time. ”

So, where do you want me to send reinforcements?

“This is Casa Castle, which borders the Kingdom of Noono.”

"Oh, I've heard of Castle Casa."

It was Matokar who spoke. Everyone's gaze gathered on her.

"I've heard it's a stunning castle that requires high walls of stone."

“Exactly. This time, while renovating this castle, it was all of a sudden attacked by the Kingdom of Noono. Originally, the two countries had been engaged in skirmishes near the border, but recently, a ceasefire agreement was concluded, and it was relatively calm...."

Why did you attack again so suddenly?

"The Empire has begun work on renovating our castle." She was trying to dismantle the stone and rebuild a new stone when she was attacked. ”

"Oh, did you see it as an opportunity?" Even though there's a cease-fire, it's a lot of rough talk. So, what's the status of the war? "

"The Empire has a thousand troops in its castle, mainly Commander Heather." The kingdom of Noono surrounding the castle appears to be under attack by five thousand soldiers. The Empire has 10,000 troops coming from the Imperial City. ”

"... I see. By the way, is there water in Casa Castle?"

"Is it water...? It's a little... for me..."

"That area is mountain land." Perhaps there will be good water. "

Matokar opens his mouth. She is slowly swaying from side to side, holding the beloved Falco in her arms. With such a smile on her face, Linus slowly puts his gaze on the map.

"If so, this castle will hold up"

"I can't say that that's the case. The Kingdom of Elsmo, a neighbour of the Kingdom of Noon, has sent reinforcements. That number is about 20,000."

"Twenty thousand? That's a bit..."

Linus thinks with his arms folded. It almost doubles in number. There were problems with the army's equipment, morale, and level of skill, but when it came to numbers, the Sephardic Empire had no chance of winning.

“That's right. Even though it was acknowledged in the Saifand's petition, it is likely that the enemy is not targeting Castle Casa alone, and if they are bad, they will be pushing it beyond Castle Casa to the Sands of the Imperial City.”

“What is the size of the Sefand Imperial Army?”

If you put in all your troops, it would be about 50,000.

"Fifty thousand, right? I don't think you can beat me a bit gently."

“Yeah, we think so, too. However, if Castle Casa were to be defeated, the Sephardic Empire would suffer a great deal of damage." After all, this castle is surrounded by a large barn... "When it comes to being trampled on by military horses, as an empire, I would say trampling and kicking."

"I see. Even so, ten thousand Imperial troops are heading for Castle Casa for rescue..." Even so, the damage to the crops will be considerable. "

"That said, if the country is gone, everything will be a bubble." I'll have to do something about it..... "

Rico opened his mouth with a sad expression. Linus thinks with his arms folded again.

"So, specifically, what does your Majesty want from me?" By sending the Duke of Vaillas in person, do you mean sending reinforcements? ”

"If possible, I want my brother-in-law to work for me."

Well, then, what do you want me to do?

"Yes, it's been a long time, but I need the help of King Agarta to protect Casa Castle." The Sephardic Empire is the largest supplier of military horses to our country. Although the marriage relationship has now broken down, I still want to maintain a friendly relationship with this country. His Majesty has said so. "

"I wonder..."

Linus looked at the Duke of Vairas with a stunned expression. He also turned his gaze to Linus with an indescribable expression.

It's not necessarily military power, is it?

"... they say?"

"I would like to lend you my wisdom."

"That's a good idea." That's exactly Linus. "

It was Rico who opened his mouth. She continued to say more words with a winking expression as she put her hands together in front of her chest.

“If hero data and Agarta's troops go in in response to a reinforcement request, we can save the Safari Empire, but if we do that, the country will be rough, and if we do it badly, we could start even bigger battles. Instead, the damage will be minimal if this battle can be successfully fought with wisdom.”

In response to Rico's words, Linus looked up at the sky with his arms crossed. An indescribable silence prevailed on the spot.

"... I see."

With a rhetoric that he could neither give up nor resolve, Duke Vailas slowly lowered his head in regret.

“I just have one favor to ask. I'd like to see a map of Casa Castle.”

"I understand." Probably in the archives of Miyagi. I'll try to find it. "

Linus sighed heavily at Vailas' words.
