Santairiku Eiyuuki

Lesson 31

Twelve days before one side retroactively.

The sixth day since Elquille crossed the desert.

We received information that Carmine had been defeated under Iason.

"Such an idiot..."

A book fell out of Iason's hand.

I get a flashy look for a while...... and whine.

"No way, have you really crossed the desert?

For the first time here Iason realized that it was true that the Lemurian army had truly crossed the desert.

And spread the map, think.

(I would like to go to reinforcements if possible... from the city of Azdavia to the city of Teripol is nearly 700 km away. Not realistic......)

It should take at least a month.

In the first place... Iason is now confronting the Lemurian army. Not very much, but we can't go to reinforcements.

(When that happens, do we have to divide the Teriportanian Defense Forces and let them go?)

The Teriportanian defense force is about 5000.

And right now, the Balbal tribe that is raiding Teriportania is about 2000.

There's plenty of room for numbers.

(According to the information, the Lemurian army is about 3000. If you allocate 3000 from the Teriportanian defense force to make your way...)

And so Iason realized.

"No... there's a Lemurian army at sea"

I don't know the details of the Lemurian army's strength at sea...

Taking into account the number of Lemurian troops that have crossed the desert and the number of Lemurian troops that Iason is now confronted with and the total number of Lemurian army standing armies… we can assume that it is between 2000 and 3000.

If we split as much as 3000 from the Teriportanian defense forces, the Lemurian army would land between 2000 and 3000 from the thinner harbour.

"Dear Iason, he wants us to turn to reinforcements over the Teriportanian defense..."

"No. Tell them not to go to reinforcements, but to prepare for the enemy at sea."

That's what Iason said.

And think.

(There is room for the Cerda defense. There should be reinforcements out of there. It may take some time, but it should also convey that the Teriportanian defense cannot afford it....... for once, do I ask His Majesty to send out reinforcements)

Iason said, "What do you mean you're not going to help your friends!" and figured out a way to forgive the generals of the Beasts (Warbeasts) who would be furious...

I wrote a letter with a pen and sent it to the city of Cerda on an early horse.

This letter crosses the city of Terripol in about four days and reaches the main roads of the cities of Cerda and Terripol…

So Nia caught me and it never reached the city of Cerda.

By the way...

Iason's predictions are partly correct, and I would note that there was also a plan in Elquille's second plan to land Stefan from a port in the Teriportania region if the Teriportanian defense came to reinforce him.

Then ten days later.

It's the sixteenth day since Elquille crossed the desert.

New information arrived under Iason.

That was when the Lemurian army besieged the city of Teripol from land and sea and launched a total attack......

The information is from three days ago…

In fact, it was the thirteenth day since Erkür crossed the desert that the Lemurian army attacked the city of Teripol in total.

"Damn, should I still have sent reinforcements..."

Should we have divided about 3000 soldiers from the Teriportanian defense forces and sent them as reinforcements?

and Iason regretted his choice ten days ago.

But...

(No, even if we let them go from Teriportanian defense forces in the first place, will it take twenty days...)

Teriportanian defense forces are dispersed in each port and key point.

It will take twenty days to collect these once and send them to the city of Teripol.

If you move the placement poorly, the Lemurian army will still land from the thinner harbor...

The Balbal tribe, which is currently raiding Teriportania, may dive through the gap in the defensive network and join the Lemurian army.

Iason reconsidered that his choice was still right.

(In the first place...... from the stage where the Lemurian army has crossed the desert, this operation is broken......?)

Iason sighed.

It is not a sanity shack, such as crossing the Great Desert.

Emperor Lemuria's unexpected actions have overshadowed the strategy of the Kingdom of Cerda from the ground up.

All the measures are turning to the rear.

"Now the next good thing you can do… don't panic, don't move your army poorly"

Teriportanian defense forces are perfectly placed.

In fact, the Balbals can't just vandalize the southern part of the Teriportania region and attack behind the national soil...

And the Lemurian army is also forbidden to land from the sea side.

Unless you move this...

The Lemurian army is unable to reach the Teriportanian region poorly.

(Reinforcements will be coming from the Cerda defense forces shortly. Then the Lemurian army, isolated among the enemies, is over. We shouldn't move this place. You should consolidate your protection)

Iason decided so.

And he dismissed the request that had come from the Teriportanian defense - that is, the reinforcement dispatch to the city of Teripol - and issued an order to continue to defend it as before.

This choice of Iason could not be said to be the best...

It was never a mistake.

In a few days, the city of Terripol will fall.

Sending reinforcements is insignificant.

If the Teriportanian defense forces are alive, it can be said to be a wise decision because it can prevent the Balbals from crossing and crossing the Teriportanian region and joining the Lemurian army in the city of Teriport.

But...

"What's this all about?

About that night, the commanders of the armed Beast Clan (Warbeast) crammed into Iason's chamber.

Everyone has a harsh look on their face.

"General Iason, I dismiss the Teriportanian defense's request... and I heard you forbade General Carmine from sending reinforcements to the city of Teripol, is that true?

"True. Because…"

When Iason tried to give a reason...

The commanders pulled out their swords and pointed them at Iason's face.

"Wow! What!?

"Revoke the order... Send the Teriportanian defense to the city of Teripor! Otherwise we're going to change you."

"Mm, unscrupulous...... you guys know what you're doing? I'm the commander of the Azdavian and Teriportanian defense forces, and I'm your boss, right? In the military, the relationship between up and down is absolute..."

"Shut up, you inferior species!!

The commanders of the Beasts barked at Iason.

Killing, yelling at him with an awesome sword screen.

"This is an order from His Majesty the King. I'll take your orders... but you can't just shut up and overlook things like abandoning your friends! You traitor!!

"Ok...... ok! You don't think about the country or the people at all... but the Beast aristocrats desperate to defend their pride and their rights..."

While Iason complained, he revoked the order he gave a while ago...

It was decided to rearrange and organize the Teriportanian defense forces and to send 3000 to the city of Teripor.

Note……

Ironically, it was the night after that, the seventeenth day after the desert crossing, that Carmine and his men, the Beasts (Warbeast) nobles, abandoned the soldiers and the people and fled from the city of Teripol.

Information about the fall of the city of Terripol was received under Iason, then three and a half days later.

It was the twenty-first day since we crossed the desert.

"Ha... what reinforcements for"

Iason laughed powerlessly when he heard about Carmine's escape and the fall of the city of Terripol.

About five days have passed since Iason gave the order.

That is, the twenty-second day from the crossing of the desert.

"Chief, there's something wrong with the conduct of the Royal Cerda Army."

"... Probably headed to the city of Terripol for reinforcements"

I received information about the fall of the city of Terripol at Macinissa...

It's the twentieth day since Elquille crossed the desert.

A day earlier than Iason would have gotten that information.

"What do you want to do?

"Gap in, head to the city of Teripol, rendezvous with your friends... defend the city of Teripol. That's the promise you made to Emperor Lemuria."

Erkühr asked Machinisa for two things.

One is to nail the Teriportanian defense forces to the Teriportanian region. Repeated raids.

The other is to get ahead of the Teriportanian defense forces when they try to get to reinforcements in either the city of Teripol or the city of Azdavia, and rendezvous with either of them.

"I'm not going to bleed for Lemuria, but..."

So far, the Kingdom of Cerda, the enemy of Lemuria, is also an enemy to the Cheyenne family.

I do not intend to shed blood for Lemuria, but if it is to cause the kingdom of Cerda to shed blood, it is not a rash.

"It's all for our future...... take advantage of Lemuria. Let's go, brothers."

Macinissa turned the army northwest, that is, in the direction of the city of Teripol.

The Lemurian Empire and the Cheyenne clan.

Erkühl, Emperor of Lemuria, and Machinisa, Chief of the Cheyenne clan.

Although in both completely different countries, cultures and languages…

The two were much more collaborative and cooperated with each other than the kings and ministers of the Kingdom of Cerda.
