Episode 1: War on

About three years have passed since I swallowed the Kingdom of Cerda as your union.

In the last three years the Lemurian Empire has completely digested the Kingdom of Cerda......

Even if I didn't go as far as that, I was able to get physical.

That's why Elquille set it as her next target…

"Republic of Adolria. It's time to kick him out of the Album Sea."

Hercule declared that before the heavy ministers.

Republic of Adolria.

It was (...) a commercial power that suppressed the control of the Adoluan Sea, existing between the Peninsula of Christ and the Peninsula of Ederna, the city of Lemuria, where the city of Nova Lemuria existed.

Although it is a small urban state, its territory is surrounded by a dry lagoon.

It is therefore extremely specialized in defense.

And he was sheltered by the kingdoms of Ederna and Fullering and operated a trade business.

I have sometimes cooperated and sometimes had commercial conflicts with the Lemurian Empire.

but now that Erkür had taken office and the national power of the Lemurian Empire was on the verge of recovery, he was being completely deprived of his position as ruler of that commercial transaction by Lemuria and was in the process of collapsing.

But even today it is a troublesome country from the Lemurian Empire as home to pirates (i.e. private looters).

It also now virtually belongs to the kingdom of Fullering.

And it has become a detour for the Fullering Kingdom to import spices and other luxury products, and it still has quite a bit of national power.

Most of all, compared to the Lemurian Empire today, it is equal to flying dust.

"Well, the military power of our country..."

There are five legions of infantry, one legion of archers, one legion of heavy-duty cavalry Cribanarius, one legion of medium cavalry Catafract, one legion of light cavalry, and two guerrilla corps of three battalions.

And Sonia's Red Wolf squad also has three battalions.

In addition, it is possible to summon at least one legion or more troops each from the Bulgarians and the Kingdom of Cerda.

And this is only, shore power.

It also absorbs the navy of the Kingdom of Cerda in terms of maritime power and has a large fleet of five hundred vessels, including a newly built galley vessel.

"There's nothing wrong with dealing with the Republic of Adolucia, but the problem is the kingdom of Fullering"

The Republic of Adolria is under the asylum of the Kingdom of Fullering.

Therefore, if the Lemurian Empire attacks the Adolucian Republic, it is likely that the Kingdom of Fullering will emerge.

"Precisely, should we call it the Fullering Empire (...)? They're really shitty."

Elquille snorted in a grumpy manner.

It was only recently that information reached Erkühl's ear that Ludwig I, king of the Fullering kingdom, had taken office as emperor of the Western Lemurian Empire.

At the time of the demise of the Western Lemurian Empire in the first place, its crown had been returned to the emperor of the Eastern Lemurian Empire, at which point the East-West Lemurian Empire had been integrated.

Thus, in law, Erkür is the emperor of Lemuria, east and west.

For that reason, there is no legal basis for Ludwig I to take office as Emperor of Western Lemuria… a man who prepares an unintelligible status in the first place, meaning the Pope, etc.

You better assume that reason doesn't work.

Of course, the Lemurian Empire does not recognise its imperial throne in any way.

Therefore, I intend to be clear about the matter in black and white.

In other words, the crusade of the Adolucian Republic is merely bait.

Fate lies in crushing the Furling kingdom that came out of this.

"Antonio, you have evacuated our country's dignitaries in the Republic of Adolucia, right?

"Unplugged"

Antonio, a merchant from the Adolucian Republic, grinned and nodded niggardly.

With the simultaneous disappearance of the merchants associated with the Lemurian Empire, the Council of the Republic of Adolria is undoubtedly anticipating a war…

That's within our assumptions.

"Good. Christos, you lead the entire fleet to capture or sink ships from the Republic of Adolria and the Kingdom of Fullering Ederna. We will also impose embargoes on both countries from our country."

This is a sword of blades that also has a major impact on the economy of the Lemurian Empire......

So, in fact, it is Eastern trade, not Western trade, that underpins the economy of the Lemurian Empire.

Therefore, for a short period of time, it will not be such a big problem.

"Darios. To you...... right. Attach one legion of infantry, four battalions of archers, and then three battalions of Near guerrillas. Total, give 20400. With this force, seal off the Republic of Adolria and make it a food attack."

"Yes, Your Majesty"

I won't tell you to attack because Erkühl knows that the mainland of the Adoluan Republic is in a difficult state of defeat.

But the Republic of Adolria cannot even feed itself for cereals, a nation entirely dependent on commerce.

It's only a matter of time before it dries up if we seal off land and sea logistics.

(... mmm, with General Darios. Well, if His Majesty's orders, I have no choice.)

Nia was dissatisfied with her inability to be with her beloved Elquille...

But Elquille's orders gave him no choice, he nodded.

"I lead a regiment of infantry and three battalions of archers, invading the Kingdom of Ederna from the north along the coast. Alicia leads an army of Bulgaron cavalry, Sonia leads three battalions of Red Wolves and an army of infantry of the Kingdom of Cerda, and Jebe leads each of the three battalions of guerrillas, follow me."

"" "Yes!

All three replied.

Note that Alicia and Sonia were put into the army under their own leadership because Erkühl thought they would probably be the only ones able to control them.

In fact, we are both highly capable and pride, so Darios and Galphis' orders will no doubt not be heard properly.

"I'm going with Darios on the road"

When Elquille said so, Nia's expression loosened a little.

He seems to want to be with Elquille at all.

"Galphis, I entrust you with the command of an army of heavily armed cavalry, Cribanarius. With that as its main unit, Carolina leads an army of medium cavalry Catafracts, Stefan and Oscar a legion of infantry, and Edmond a legion of infantry and three battalions of archers under the command of Galphis. You guys break into the Ederna Peninsula from the south."

"" "" "" Yes!

Confirming that the ministers nodded, Erkühl goes on to give further orders.

"As far as a single Corps of Light Cavalry is concerned, let's divide it into three equal parts and assign each as a reconnaissance unit. Invade the Kingdom of Ederna with 142800 troops, including light cavalry."

Then Elquille stood up three fingers.

"The goal is threefold. One is to destroy the Republic of Adolucia. The other is to bring the city of Lemuria back into our hands. And...... it is to crush the kingdom of Fullering, which has finally come to rescue the Kingdom of Ederna and the Republic of Adolria. That's it! Start preparing yourselves. God is with us!

"" "Ha! God is with us!

Well, then it was awhile ago.

An urgent alert arrived under Ludwig I, who was in the palace of Ruthisi.

"Your Majesty, there is movement in the Lemurian Empire. A total of about 150,000 troops are headed for the Ederna Peninsula."

It was Namo who told him so.

The legend that existed in the Lemurian Empire was used to detect the movement as soon as possible.

Ludwig I immediately summoned seven brave men.

"No, but... Hmm, military action in winter"

The season is October.

It's almost time for the cold to get tough.

Elquille's aim is obvious.

"In winter, it's tough to lead a large army beyond the Great Mountains. The sea is contained by the Lemurian Empire. It must mean destroying the Kingdom of Ederna and the Republic of Adolria before our country can move its troops."

One of the seven brave men, Marazi of 'Hope' said.

A half-breed of man and beast, he is an excellent general and a magician at the same time.

Marajij's speculation was extremely shooting...

"Because it's winter, it's hard to cross the Great Mountains... Kuku, right. but in history, there will be examples beyond"

Ludwig I said with a confident look.

The Seven Warriors also have a surprising look at this...

Indeed, I was convinced that this one must be able to do it.

"That means ambushing the alarmed Lemurian Imperial Army!

It is Astorfo of 'Love', one of the seven brave men, who said it in a pleasant way.

but Ludwig I shook his head left and right.

"No, you're not. There is no way that that Emperor Lemuria, rather than the man of the Lemurian Empire tormented by his famous generals, would not assume it. So he's got to be moving on the premise that I'm going over the mountains."

That kind of Ludwig I voice had some kind of trust in Erkühr I.

That degree should always be in the assumption.

"But! This invitation, you can't call me a knight without riding!! There will be at least 100,000 to fight 150,000. Each one of you will gather at least 100,000 troops by competing with the ranks!

Then I turned my gaze to the last of the Seven Brave Men.

"Emperor Lemuria achieves mobility and strategic flexibility by dividing his forces into three parts, but this can also be said to be a foolish offense to the dispersion of his forces. Bradamanthe, my elite, give 1500 soldiers."

"Yes, Your Majesty"

The blonde girl smiled niggly.

She is the last of the seven brave men, the bradamanthe of 'moderation'.

"As an advance party, go beyond the Great Mountains! And stop the Lemurian army that broke into the Pasta Plains."

"I understand.... by the way, Your Majesty"

The girl asks her master.

"You don't mind if I knock you down otherwise, do you?

"Ha ha! Well said!!
