It was the Lemurian army that had assembled the army earlier.

Erkür assembled his forces, with the exception of the forces under Darios' command, in the port town of Ederna.

Three Legions of Infantry

Archers, six battalions.

Kingdom of Cerda Infantry Army One Legion

Heavy Duty Cavalry One Legion Medium Duty Cavalry One Legion Bulgaron Cavalry One Legion

Red Wolves, three battalions.

The guerrillas, three battalions.

All in all, 98400.

The Chelda infantry has fallen by about 2000 in the previous battle, so the reality is about 96400.

Having succeeded in rallying forces ahead of the Fullering kingdom, Erkühl once again split the army and aimed for a city while engaging in a mind-boggling attack.

It is… Bologna, a free city where Bradamante is caged.

The total strength of the Royal Furling Army, led by Bradamante, is 2,000 if it includes mercenaries.

Hence the force difference is quadrupled.

Troop differences that can be dropped enough...

"Uhm... don't fall"

Elquille was frowning.

Precisely, if you want to, you can drop it... but it will require a great deal of sacrifice.

That is undesirable before the showdown with Ludwig I.

"The enemy general seems to excel there.... I heard the Knight Fullering was good at cage castle warfare, but it's a real hassle."

Compared to the East, there are many small-scale siege and cage battles in the West.

For a glorious knight duel to be spoken among the bards. Though Knight Fullering tends to be illusory as if he was good at field combat...

In fact, I specialize most in muddy cage castle warfare.

Their war basically swept into the castle, forcing their enemies to bleed and leaving through diplomatic negotiations.

And... it was Ludwig I who culminated in that kind of world.

(If you rendezvous with Darios, you will be able to drop it... but then you will have to solve the offense of the Adolucian Republic. Those obstructed sea monkeys must be eliminated in this war...... must)

If so, Elquille's choice was one.

"All armies, retreat. Prepare for the showdown"

Bradamanthe won several weeks of Cage Castle.

And... the day after Erkühl pulled, the army of the Fullering Kingdom crossed the mountains and stepped on the land of the Kingdom of Ederna.

Then a few more days later.

The Royal Furling Army entered the city of Bologna.

"Your Majesty, I've been waiting for you"

Bradamante knelt down and welcomed his lord.

Ludwig I nods loudly in a superior mood.

"Bradamante, by the time I got here, I was well endured. That's my knight."

"It's a bad word."

Then Ludwig I sat on the prepared throne.

"Gather, my knights."

"" Ha!

When so called, the Seven Brave Men, beginning with Bradamanthe, knelt before Ludwig I.

Bradamante in "Moderation".

Astorfo in 'Love'.

Laurent in 'Justice'.

Chulpan of 'Faith'.

'Hope' Marazi.

Ludwig I opened his mouth where all five were.

"According to a prior report from Bradamante, the Lemurian Imperial Army appears to be stationed twenty kilometres southeast, in the village of Rezella along the streets… it is Bradamante. Any particular new information?

"Yes, Your Majesty. So far, no noticeable movement"

"Hmm. I mean... are you asking me out here to make a showdown?"

The capital of the Kingdom of Ederna, the city of Ederna, is present on the back of the village of Resella.

From this city of Ederna, the Lemurian Empire is supplied with food and other supplies.

We can keep nearly 100,000 troops stationed at this location for a long period of time because it combines maritime and land transport networks.

The city of Ederna is a militarily and strategically important place.

It is one of the places Ludwig I must take back.

If there were to be a Lemurian army on that path, the clashes would be inevitable.

"The enemy is less than about 100,000. This is 100,000, including Bradamante's army. This one is advantageous over the number. On the other hand… the passage of time works advantageously for the enemy"

Ludwig I, who made me gather a great army of 100,000...

In fact, in terms of economic power and population, the kingdom of Furling is less than a third that of the Lemurian Empire.

Due to the characteristics of the political system called the feudal system, it is difficult to maintain this great army for a long period of time.

Because if the war prolongs, the Horsemen and Knights will want to return to their country.

On the other hand, in the case of the Lemurian Empire, we can continue to fight for a year or two.

If you are concerned about that, you will also be able to call in further troops from the kingdoms of Cerda and Bulgaron.

There is also the problem with the barracks.

It is the clans and free cities of the northern Pasta Plains that supply food and leaves to the kingdom of Fullering, led by Ludwig I, but their economic power does not last that long either.

Food production alone in the northern part of the Pasta Plains in the first place is impossible to sustain 100,000 troops for long periods of time.

The Lemurian Empire, on the other hand, continues to supply food from the dependent states.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that its supply limits are de facto infinite.

At least compared to the Fullering Kingdom, though.

Ludwig I has reason to rush the battle.

If the Lemurian Imperial Army is motivated, there is no hand in not riding the battle.

"Let's go!!

"" "Ha!

The Furling Royal Army moved out.

Meanwhile, Erkühl laughed invincibly when he heard information that the Furling Royal Army had moved in on the village of Rezera.

"Again, have you been on board"

I knew Ludwig I was coming on the battle.

Because there is no way Ludwig I, who is superior in number and has soldier station problems in addition, can not come on board the battle.

... By the way, why does Elquille's side want a field fight?

What benefit does Lemuria have?

You don't have the option of caged castle warfare?

First and foremost, there is a reason why we want Ludwig I to be smashed to pieces by no complete skin.

The Lemurian Empire is far above the kingdom of Fullering.

Yes, we need a decisive victory to let the world know.

Around the corner, the Fullering Kingdom came out with this.

You can't miss this opportunity.

Additionally, it doesn't mean you can spend a long time with the Lemurian army.

If Ludwig I were to give priority to the rescue of the Adoluan Republic before the liberation of the city of Ederna, Erkühl would have to move to obstruct it.

It is Ludwig I who will take the lead in the war.

And the last reason...

"It's inferior in total strength, but with the number and quality of cavalry, we're in your favor."

Alicia said with a confident look.

Lemuria has probably the closest Bulgaron cavalry on the northern continent.

Also, the total number of cavalry in Lemuria is 37200, while the kingdom of Fullering is about 25000.

In the field, the number of cavalry holds the key to victory.

I mean, Lemuria is actually more advantageous.

Plus...

"The quality of the enemy is fragmented and cannot be said to be as controllable. If it's 100,000 troops, there's bound to be a rundown."

Sonia told me to assure you.

Information from Sonia, who actually fought, shows that the quality of soldiers in the Royal Furling Army ranges from pins to kiri.

Some good knights, and it is the Royal Furling Army that even exists as unmotivated mercenaries and peasant militias as somewhat forcibly conscripted.

In other words, “gather around."

Of course, the Seven Brave Men of Excellence are putting that together... but there are limits.

On the other hand, the quality of the Lemurian army is uniform and it can be said that there are no weaknesses.

The presence of a foreign army called the Royal Chelda Army and the Royal Bulgaron Army may be described as a weakness… fortunately there is collaboration between Erkür and their respective commanders, Sonia and Alicia.

"Come on, gentlemen. I'll let the barbarians know which one is the guardian of true Messianism!

"" "Ha!!

Meanwhile, the Republic of Adolria had been more severely besieged by the Lemurian army led by Darios and Nia.

Both of them received information about the movements of both the Lemurian and Furling armies.

"General Nia."

"What's wrong? General Darios."

The called nia gives a strange look.

Darios handed Nia a piece of parchment.

"This is... a directive from His Majesty!

"If you can afford it, join your guerrillas here."

"I see."

Niyali and Nia grinned.

When asked if you can afford it...... you can afford it.

Because it is after we have already placed the city of Adolria completely under siege by means of double trenches.

Now I can keep the siege going, even without cavalry troops.

"I'm going, General"

Good luck.

The guerrilla unit led by Sushi Nia also began to move.

The world-renowned two-emperor battle of Rezella was about to take place.
