"What? The Furling Royal Army crossed the mountains?... That was surprisingly quick."

After finishing the siege of the city of Ederna, Erkühl opened his eyes to surprise only for a moment when he heard the report.

According to Erkühl's predictions, it would have taken longer for the Fullering Kingdom to gather its forces.

"How many soldiers?

"Yes, Your Majesty. 1000 infantry units, mainly crossbows and spears, and 5000 cavalry. 1500 for walking together. The enemy commander is Bradamanthe of" moderation. "

"... I see. I mean, the advance party."

Erkür stroked his chest down with his heart.

It was not that Ludwig I had led the great army much earlier than Erkühl had expected, putting the Hordes together.

"Probably Ludwig I's child-rearing force"

The Fullering Kingdom is a feudal state.

Because it is a military state, its total strength and quality are medium, but it takes time to gather soldiers.

The fact that we were able to move so quickly into military action means that we can assume that Ludwig I is a sort of standing army-like force of tiger sons who can move quickly.

(But I didn't expect to leave a precious elite with a single minister... and this speed. Perhaps you should assume that I was predicting this movement at the stage where I moved the army, or at the preparatory stage before that)

While he thinks he's a troublesome opponent, Erkühl conceives.

Fortunately, the city of Ederna fell lightly.

As a result, the “king” of the Kingdom of Ederna and the nobles of the court have already shown the will to surrender to the Lemurian Empire.

but the kingdom of Ederna is a country that has not undergone centralisation.

Even if the head is cut off, the torso and limbs move on their own.

The marquises everywhere have shown their will to resist.

I'm trying to be respectful by diplomatic means right now...

But so soon, if the Furling Royal Army were to come, it would be different.

With the Lemurian Empire and the kingdom of Fullering hanging on the balance, a large number of rightward and leftward lords will appear.

(Enemy or ally, I don't know. They're the most troublesome. Not at all......)

It is probably exactly what Ludwig I aimed for.

At the tactical level, Elquille leads a lot so far, but at the strategic level, the opposing sides.

Erkühr takes the corner of the city of Ederna, and Ludwig I takes the corner of the advance party, respectively.

It is difficult to say that the war situation is in Erkür's favour.

Most… Unlike Othello, the horns of both sides can also be taken away.

(If you can destroy Bradamante and them, don't let the wind lean this way)

Elquille giggled damned.

and so the generals gathered under Erkür.

Sonia, Alicia, and Jebe.

"Well done. You know the advance party of the Furling Royal Army has crossed the Great Mountains?

"" Yes, Your Majesty ""

All three of them, who had already finished sharing their information, replied.

Elquille snorts.

"I'm going to repel you more than this... but I can't move here for a while to adjust and calm the surrounding area. So we send out a separate team and intercept the enemy."

The question is who to put out as a separate team...

We can't send Sonia and Alicia out together.

It's because you're visible to start breaking up with people.

Hence the difficulty of either Jebe or these two.

And considering each good soldier...

"Sonia, lead an army of Royal Cerda Army infantry and the Red Wolves for interception. Jebe, you lead the Battalion of Independence as its auxiliary, put it under command."

"Yes!"

"... Yes"

……

Sonia waving her tail happily.

Jebe, who said he was entrusted with trouble.

And Alicia, who seems terribly dissatisfied.

(I wonder if you're okay...)

Elquille was driven by anxiety.

"Good, because orders are absolute more than coming under my command!

"Of course. I am not willing to disobey His Majesty's orders"

Against Sonia, who looks great to include. Jebe gave it back seriously.

Sonia nodded greatly, confirming that Jebe would listen to herself firmly.

A separate task force led by Sonia, riding together on foot, 19200 was packing a good distance from the advance party of the Fullering Kingdom led by Bradamante.

Two days from now, we are expected to arrive in the city where the Furling Royal Army is stationed.

The Furling Royal Army is preparing for a battle with a separate action unit led by Sonia, or gathering mercenaries from the vicinity to reinforce their power.

"Don't you dare, I'll ask your opinion"

"Well, were you willing to ask my opinion?"

Jebe, prepared to be the feather that my princess would wield, raised her eyebrows a little surprised.

Sonia, on the other hand, snorts in a grumpy manner.

"What do you think people are? In the first place, use salutations! I am Queen of the Kingdom of Cerda, wife of His Majesty the Emperor, Queen!

"This is rude. I still don't speak Lemurian."

"Hmm...... well, that would be good. I don't like your attitude, but I do acknowledge your strength."

"Well... that would be a pleasure"

"Yeah, do something... you've been ravaging our country for a long time."

Pointing out that he had gone around looting the kingdom of Cerda, Jebe flaunted his shoulders.

Note that that tactic cannot be used in the Kingdom of Ederna.

Because there are many terrain obstacles such as rivers and mountains.

"Unfortunately, the lead in the war is over there. We want to eliminate the Furling Royal Army, but they don't. Because if we can fight each other, we can, to some extent, gain the support of the queens of the Kingdom of Ederna. You'll never come across a dangerous bridge."

"... that means the enemy has to leave the city?

In fact, Bradamante can't be seen getting out of the city.

As it is, the siege battle... will take the form of a stare at both sides, given the differentially demanding force.

"No, we must show a positive attitude to some extent if we are to continue to gain the support of the queens of the Kingdom of Ederna. Therefore, if this one approaches or provokes, the enemy will have to fight in the field."

"I see, when you tap there. If it's a field battle, it's in our favor with a large number of us."

Jebe nodded as Niyali and Sonia grinned.

The operation was decided.

Bradamante smiled unexpectedly when he heard reports that a separate unit of the Lemurian army was headed straight this way.

"We split the soldiers again... that's a good decision"

Ludwig I sent Bradamante to the Kingdom of Ederna as soon as possible in order to keep the Kingdom of Ederna connected to the side of the Kingdom of Fullering.

If we were guzzled, we thought the kingdom of Ederna would soon fall under the influence of the Lemurian Empire.

Meanwhile, Erkür turned his army towards eliminating Bradamante until he further subdivided his forces, probably because he was confident that he would bring the Kingdom of Ederna under the influence of the Lemurian Empire altogether as long as he allowed Bradamante to pull off.

Today, the army of Bradamante depends on the queens and cities of the Kingdom of Ederna for most of its barracks.

Now cooperating with the Fullering kingdom, they could also, depending on the war situation, be manipulative and non-cooperative with the Lemurian Empire.

In that case, at the time of the upcoming showdown, the kingdom of Furling will suffer from the barracks.

No, we may not even be able to have a decent fight in the first place.

It's actually harder to keep a barracks on the other side of the Great Mountains than deploying troops across the Great Mountains.

"I'd like to challenge you at the Cage Castle Battle if possible... it's a problem that we seem to be inactive in the war"

Bradamante has to show an attitude that actively fights to protect them, more than he relies on the clans and cities for his soldiers' stations.

In the first place, that's why I came all the way across the Great Mountains.

"Great...... let me deal with them for you. As a knight, it's grand."

Bradamante got up when he had a prank grin.

"But... let's start by filling in the force gap. Do you rush to hire mercenaries"

Fortunately, the money to hire mercenaries is in the luxury.

Of course, because this is the wallet of the queens and cities, Bradamanthe does not hurt his nostalgia, either as the kingdom of Fullering.

And Bradamanthe leads the great army through the land, and they cannot disobey Bradamanthe's command.

Does that kind of thing seem like a knight to you?

With that question in his mouth, Bradamante would have answered with a smile.

If this is not chivalry, what is chivalry? and.

… Chivalry in the Fullering Kingdom means this.
