Lesson 32: Temporary Return

Leaving the city of Terripol, Erkühl sailed about eight hundred kilometres to the city of Curaine.

Since travel by boat depends on the wind direction, it is basically impossible to proceed as calculated.

But still, much faster than ashore, we can move.

The voyage of Erkühl from the city of Teripol to the city of Curene was never as good as it could be said......

But the weather never hit me.

As a result, in the twelfth day he crossed the sea and reached the city of Curaine.

It is about the thirtieth day, just from the crossing of the desert.

"Long time no see, Luna! Did I miss you?

"... I never missed anything else"

Upon descending into the harbor, Erkühl approached Renalier, who welcomed himself at the harbor with open hands.

And nothing, hugging Lunarier with both hands with the expression.

"But this is how you bothered to welcome me, which means you were thinking a little bit about me, right?

"... at all. It's just that when you die, you're in trouble."

"I mean, you were so worried about me, weren't you?

Erkühr said so, holding Lunarier's hair up forcefully......

"Huh!!

I aligned my lips with those lips.

Renalier makes his eyes black and white.

While doing so, he screws his tongue into his mouth and ravages its soft mucous membrane.

"You've always missed me, haven't you?

"Ngu, nothing like that... ah, duh, where are you touching me!

"Ass."

"That's not what I meant... don't!

Renalier voices protest against Erkühl's sexual harassment.

Then Erkür gave me a mean grin.

"So you don't have to hold me tonight? I'm headed to the city of Azdavia right now."

"Huh!? Yes, no... that..."

"I didn't miss you at all. On nights without me."

When Elquille said so, Renalier looked remorseful, but blushed.

"Ku...... hi, cowardly......"

"Yeah? What's cowardly about that?

"... Dai"

Lunarier said something in a small voice.

"Huh? What?

Elkür, who suddenly becomes deaf.

Renalier turned his face bright red, he said.

"Hold me, please…"

"Louder"

"Hold me!

When Lunarier said in such a voice that he could be heard around him, Erqueur said as he stroked Lunarier's head.

"I can't help it. I can't say no if you ask me so much.... By the way, you should hold your voice a little longer, huh?

"... Shut up, pervert"

Renalier shrugged in a small voice.

That's how Elquille and Lunarier flirt...

"Your Majesty!!

A woman with red, burning hair hung at full speed.

Out of breath, the woman approaches Elquille.

"Emperor, Your Majesty. Welcome back."

"Ooh, Carolina, I'm home. By the way, I told you to leave a message for Nova Lemuria, didn't I?

When Elquille said so, Carolina shook her neck to the side.

"Your Majesty ordered me to leave a message, but you didn't tell me where."

"Oh... did I? But as far as I'm concerned, I wanted you to wait at Nova Lemuria."

"... Was I? I'm sorry about that. Give me the punishment... that, tonight"

Carolina said to Elquille with her moist eyes, uppercut.

Carolina had never interacted with Elquille since the discovery of her pregnancy until today.

"Hmm... well, it's been a long time and you're okay"

That's what Elquille said and reached out to Carolina's head.

After enjoying the feel of Sarah's hair, I kiss that cheek.

Carolina's cheeks dye red, the same color as her hair.

"By the way, Your Grace. Um, I need a little help with the Renalier, okay?

"Yeah? I don't mind."

Carolina leaves Elquille with a little regret...

Stuck in a lunarier looking out at the sea with a strange face.

"Why didn't Your Majesty say what you were here for today!

'Cause they didn't ask me.

"I told you to tell me if you knew His Majesty was coming!

"I forgot."

"Don't lie to me!

"I'm not lying."

"It's a lie."

"Shh, no"

"You perverted dm wasting milk woman"

"Shut up, milk"

Look at Lunarier and Carolina starting a fight. Erkühl is...

Oh, you're home.

And I realized it.

Then Elquille spent two nights with Carolina and Renalier.

Then, during the day, he filled and reorganized the vacancies of one legion of Bulgaron cavalry and one legion of medium cavalry (catafract) that he brought.

And on the morning of the thirty-second day from the crossing of the desert, I try to leave the city of Curaine...

"Your Majesty, I'm coming too"

"No, but..."

When Elquille woke up in the morning, Carolina, already fully armed, stood.

"It's been a long time since the birth. If you rest your body any longer, your body will be dull."

"... well, so is that"

It has already been slightly over three months.

It won't be a problem, Elquille decided, giving permission to accompany her.

"Go, Your Majesty"

Renalier didn't seem to intend to follow him, with a sleeping head, rubbing his eyes like he was sleeping, waving from the top of the bed.

And after seeing Carolina flicker, I said.

"Waiting for my husband to return to war because he's a good wife"

"What is it? If you want to say something to me, why don't you just say it from the front?

"Your Majesty. Let's take a bath together before we go. That's how much time you have, isn't it?

"Don't ignore me!

Carolina yelled.

Lemurian troops leaving the city of Curene headed towards the city of Azdavia at a rate of about forty-five kilometres a day.

It may look like an amazing speed...... but given that it is a unit made up of medium cavalry (cataphract) and bull gallon cavalry, that is, cavalry alone, and less worrying domestic travel of the barracks, its marching speed is a speed that has allowed much leeway if you try to elcuit.

It was nine days after Elquille arrived in the vicinity of the city of Azdavia and joined the Galphis.

In other words, it was the forty-first day from the crossing of the desert.

The Lemurian army assembled in the vicinity of the city of Azdavia...

An army of heavy-duty cavalry (Cribanarius) led by Galphis.

An army of Longbow troops led by Edmond.

And two legions of infantry led by Darios.

In addition to a battalion of light cavalry for reconnaissance, a total of 49200...

A total of 2,400 corps of medium cavalry (catafract) and one corps of Bulgaron cavalry were added, making it 73200.

"Oh...... I'm already leaning towards the worse, the worse"

Iason sighed.

The total strength of the Azdavian defense forces, led by Iason, totals 5000.

Originally, by keeping the city of Azdavia on its back, it confronted its enemies in a formation defending its rear on the walls of the city of Azdavia...

Hearing of the arrival of a reinforcement, 2,400, led directly by Emperor Lemuria, he decided to flee abruptly to the inside of the walls.

Most… This choice enraged the officers of the Beast (Warbeast) aristocracy.

Get your enemies in front of you, run away, you coward! ….

The attitude of the officers of the Beasts (Warbeast) aristocracy is getting worse every day…

That was bothering Iason, too.

"The Barbals will also join the city of Teripol..."

Just at about the same time as the Lemurian army rendezvoused in the city of Azdavia, we received information that we feared under Iason.

That is, information that the Balbals have entered the city of Teripol.

Iason's concerns were completely misplaced, and his reinforcements from the Teriportanian defense to the city of Teripor allowed him to reinforce his enemies in reverse.

The Balbal and Lemurian armies are armies of different order lines.

If you wish, you can't work together, and on the contrary, I want you to pull your legs together...

I'd like to think so, but that's a hopeful observation.

Unlike the field in the first place, Cage Castle Battle is a battle that is relatively easy to work with and that even amateurs can fight enough.

"... on the contrary, it's likely that we haven't been able to work together."

Teriportanian defense forces are under Iason's jurisdiction…

In other words, the general who leads the reinforcements from the Teriportanian defensive forces, headed for the city of Teripor, is Iason's men, soldiers of the Joamels.

Cerda defense forces, on the other hand, are under the jurisdiction of Carmine...

It is naturally Carmine's men who lead the reinforcements from the Cerda defense to the city of Terripol.

And Carmine and his men, who took off from the city of Teripol, joined forces from the Cerda defense to the city of Teripol, saying it was Carmine who was now in substantial command.

In other words, Carmine and the Joamelian generals are the ones who are going to attack the city of Terripol...

It's an army of completely different order lines.

"And worst of all, neither army is ready for a siege"

Neither of them headed to recapture the city of Teripol.

They went to destroy the enemies that besieged the city of Teripol.

Both sides, I wouldn't even be mindful if I wasn't prepared to do a siege.

Most… depends on how well prepared you are on the road, that is to say, how well you have been equipped with troops, siege weapons, etc., in preparation for a long war.

"... the Teriportanian defense can't move any more."

Under these circumstances, it would suck if the rest of the Teriportanian defense forces even headed to the city of Azdavia to help themselves.

The Teriportania region is going to be completely thin.

If the Lemurian army that circled the city of Azdavia invaded there... the Teriportanian region would fall under the control of the Lemurian Empire, remaining irresistible.

"Do you want me to give you an order before you're completely besieged"

Iason issued an order to the commander of the Teriportanian Defense Forces to 'never' leave the holding area.

"Suggestions, you pulled the cage. Your Majesty."

"Right."

Erkühl nodded in agreement with Darios' words.

"That's great for judgment. No mistake whatsoever"

Erkühr smiled.

Iason has made few strategic and tactical mistakes so far, except that he misread that it is impossible to cross the desert.

"But moving part of the Teriportanian defense to the city of Teripol is a failure."

"Um, the character of a general named Iason, I don't think that was Iason's intention."

Maybe I had to do that under some circumstances.

And, Erkühr expected.

"Well, but...... at least you won't go wrong with this decision"

It is the Azdavian defense forces that will be defeated if they meet differently in force.

Therefore, the option of moving to the Battle of Cage Castle is not so bad.

Fortunately, the city of Azdavia does not have that much urban population.

There has been enough temporal respite to accumulate food for it since the war began.

Given the difference in force, there can be no defeat first if we limit ourselves to the Battle of Cage Castle.

However...

"It's not a mistake, but it's not the right answer."

"Not at all, Your Majesty. Apparently, the enemy has no idea what it's like to be a general."

That's what Elquille and Darios laughed at.

"You've been behind this before without sending reinforcements, haven't you? Besides... my dear boss is surrounded by enemies. No matter how much you tell me not to come and help you... it would be love to go and help you."

Elquille grins, niggling.

Darios had an equally mean grin.

"Unless you have credibility. If Your Majesty tells me not to come to help, I will not go to help..."

How much credit do I have from my men?

The two laughed with pleasure...... staring at the walls of the city of Azdavia.
