Lesson 11: Before the Taurica War

"Hold on, guys... are you still sticking? It's been nine months. Come on, give up and convert the group... I want you to starve to death."

Elquille said as she ate her steak.

This is not the island of Rosa, but the palace of Nova Remulia.

Yes... Erkühl returned from Rosa Island to Nova Remria about four months ago.

Well, naturally...

You can't be stuck on an island for months.

He has a lot of other business to do.

At the same time as returning home, only two battalions of heavily armed cavalry (Cribanarius), one battalion of reconnaissance missionary light cavalry 1200, three battalions of Longbow soldiers 3600, Darios and Edmond are allowed to pull up.

Because I thought it was excessive force.

Oscar is now keeping his siege quiet.

"I thought I'd run out of food in four months..."

I don't know how you survive the remaining five months...

Well... I don't have to think about it.

The answer is self-evident.

I don't put it in my mouth because I'm eating.

"Um, Your Majesty."

"What's up? Carolina."

Carolina spoke to me...

I stopped thinking about whatever was good.

"Put up over 30,000 soldiers on Rosa Island for nine months...... are you okay? Why don't foreign countries attack us? For example... Farth or something."

When Carolina says so...

Renalier nodded as well.

"That's troublesome. Your Majesty must protect Hayastan."

Against our two worries...

Elquille answered with a shoulder flaunt.

"Don't worry. I can't say that Farth is still completely recovered, either, and he has no reason to attack me until he breaks the Treaties of Inviolability. Bulgarons are fine, too. It was warm this year."

As things stand, there must be no great power to strip the Lemurian Empire of its fangs...

said Erkühr.

"Just well..."

When Elquille tried to say something...

Todoris rocked his fat stomach and ran in as he ran.

"Ko, Your Majesty!! Please excuse me during your meal!! Northern...... Rebellion broke out on the Taurica Peninsula!!

"The weaker the dog, the more defiant..."

Erkühr laughed invincibly.

It was good back then.

Well, everyone would think about it once.

In elementary school...

When I was in junior high...

When I was in high school...

When I was a college student...

When I was younger...

I am free to think.

But... back then it was often then... I can't go back.

It is impossible for a retired grandfather to redo his youth.

Therefore... we must admit it.

but there are many people who are not well recognized.

A concrete example of this…

Formerly powerful on the coast of the Taurica Peninsula, they are the leading men of the Taurica Peninsula, crushed and fallen by Erkür.

deprived by the Lemurian Empire, rivals, and those who had looked down on them before… they all thought, "It was good back then".

And he was so wacky he wanted to "go back to those days".

So how can we go back to those days?

They thought.

Asking the leading nations and tribes of the North for support is first and foremost a major premise.

And... I decided to take advantage of my last reflection and fight in unison rather than resisting fragmentation.

Later it's only a matter of timing.

Against all the Lemurian and Erkühr empires...... it is self-evident that we cannot win, no matter how united we may be, no matter how supportive we seek.

Then if the less than full Lemurian Empire is the opponent...

Yes… during the war with other countries, for example.

That would also be a long battle...... what if it's a struggling (...) time?

If we can make a decisive victory then to eliminate the influence of the Lemurian Empire... or draw some concession, we can go back to "those days"!!

And besides that day came early.

Nearly 30,000 Lemurian Imperial Army troops are hanging on the island of Rosa.

I've been fighting for nine months now... but there's still no sign of Rosa Island falling.

I don't know the details...

The Rosa Island Pirates also have a proven track record of defeating the Lemurian Empire once.

I'm sure you're fighting a good fight... and you must be tormenting Remlia.

Now...... now you can win!!

That's what they thought.

Do it before they do it!!

I mean, if it's enough to get around to the back, I'll hit the lead... the idea.

It is "before they do it" that they do it, which means they are still "going to do it" people who do this.

Yes... specifically the leading players in the interior of the Taurica Peninsula.

As things stand, only the coastal part of the Taurica Peninsula is dominated by the Lemurian Empire.

By dominating coastal cities, building new colonial cities, etc…

The Lemurian Empire dominated the coast of the Taurica Peninsula and succeeded in holding that deal.

In the process, the leading coastal players lost much of their rights.

Ha ha, look...... there is no more spiritual room for the inland people than you can laugh at.

Ruling the coastal area in points...... now shifting to ruling the line.

This will be the dominion of the surface...... eventually it is visible and obvious that it extends to the hinterland of the Taurica Peninsula.

Don't laugh at the leading coastal players.

Tomorrow is our day.

And it was when I was crisis conscious.

Leading coastal players have cooperated with leading inland players.

Do it before they do it!!

That's what they thought.

I regret if they put my lover to bed.

Well, I usually would if I didn't have a special sexuality.

The same applies to the countries of the North, which have so far benefited from the trade, through the leading players in the Taurica Peninsula.

If a man named Erkühl and others deprive me of my trading rights on the Taurika Peninsula, I would be angry.

I want to go back to bed.

It was when I thought so.

The leading people of the Taurica Peninsula asked for help.

It's not ourselves that bleeds.

Just give him a little financial support.

Just don't get your hands dirty...

In an attempt to regain their rights, the countries of the North thought.

Strike the iron while it's hot.

I mean... things should be done while they're cheering up.

That is.

The same is true of conquest.

The longer you hang it, the easier it is to buy grudges, and the more expensive it will be again.

That could give them a temporal respite to defy.

Hence Erkühl wanted to conquer the Taurika peninsula in about a year if he could.

The conquest here does not mean military domination, including even the hinterland….

Economically and politically, it means dyeing the Lemurian Empire completely in one color.

Hopefully, the rebels, the old powerful men of the coast, will kill...

I'd also like to kill a leading inland man who doesn't follow this one.

And...... I also want to eliminate the influence of the countries of the North.

So... how do we get all the rebel forces out of the grid?

Send in a big army?

No.

It is self-evident that all you have to do is pretend to obey heavily while you are putting down troops, and if you withdraw, you will have a defiant attitude.

Then it cannot be called total conquest.

Elquille thought…

I thought this way.

Trying to make me rebel.

It makes my country look even as if it is exhausted in the war against other foreign forces...

It makes me think there's only one chance to start a revolt right now.

Forces that do not rebel at this time will never come to their teeth again.

And… the forces that revolt or cooperate with it at this time are hostile forces that may strip their fangs if there are gaps.

All you have to do is bring the hostile forces together... and crush them.

Regardless, it would be somewhat more disadvantageous than going around the back...

It is difficult to introduce an overwhelming army and crush it by a difference in numbers.

But still...

He believed in his own abilities that he could win.

Screw you...

The thoughts, desires of the various forces intersect...

The Taurica War was about to begin.
