"You've gathered well. There shall now be an operational meeting. Lion, please explain the situation."
"Yes, Fontana territory is currently in an unprecedented crisis. It is a matter of timing being pinched by the Urk and Arborest families from east to west. Defeating this will be the goal of this battle. That's good to go."
"May I have a word, Lord Lion von Graham? It is believed that the beginning of this event is due to His Holiness Ars von Barca, who is there. We have no objection to intercepting the armies of Arborest because our territory is bordered by Arborest territory. but I'm honestly sorry to fight with Lord Ars."
"I know how you feel very painfully. But it's not like you don't know the strength of the Barca army. This time, we really need to keep pace with the Barca army in order to fight the Arborest family. Please help us."
"Hmm. Right. But it can't be without anything. I ask you to forgive me as much as the knights who come into contact with the Arborest will give priority to what you get in this battle. How about it, Lord Ars?"
"Okay. I have no objection here, Lord Ghana."
"Let's say, then, that in principle, the rewards in this battle will be earned as a priority by the knights who come into contact with the Arborest territories. I'll go next. According to the information currently in there, there are about 8,000 Arborests in the march."
"That's a lot, Lion. Does the Arborest family mobilize more than the Fontana family?
"Right. It is said that the maximum and mobilizable number is approximately 12,000. That's more than the Fontana family."
"Are you following more than half of them? You're pretty serious."
"Yes. Sometimes the Fontana territory is upset, but I think the timing of the interdiction with the Urks seems too good than that. Perhaps there has been some interaction with the Urk family for a long time. Even if there are no problems in Fontana territory at this time, I think we can all say that this is what was happening."
"Do you have that idea? So, the operation against the Arborest family is going to work just like I said before?
"Yes, it would seem difficult to intercept the ongoing Arborest family directly from the front with us around the Barca army. I also agree with the proposal to ambush in the form of a reverse invasion rather than a cage. For this reason, this operation sets Fortress Paramere as an attack target. We will defeat Paramere, which is said to be difficult to defeat, and attract the Arborest family."
"Hey, wait a minute. Is that Paramere, Lord Lion? Are you going to attack that Parameter? Difficult to strike down, over there that has never fallen before. Are you serious?
"Yes, Lord Ghana. Sounds like you're well aware that the territory is bordered by Arborest territory. Attack that water fortress."
"It's impotent. Until now, the Fontana family has not been able to move west because the Arborest family has created a fortress that suppresses that stronghold. Lord Lion doesn't know that. There's no way I can take it down very well. If the Army's 8000 Arborest arrives while they're attacking there, we'll be crushed under one blow."
"It's okay. It's the Barca army for that. With Barca's magic, he's no match for an invincible water fortress."
"Lion, please explain to me about the paramere called its water fortress. What's it like?
"Okay. Then I'll explain."
That's how Lion talked.
Arbalest territory west of Fontana territory.
They say this is a water-rich land.
The same goes for the rivers that were flowing into the Knights of Barca, which I rule, but they say that several rivers are flowing from the Great Snow Mountains in the east towards the Arborest territories in the west.
And it seems that the Arborest area has a large river with multiple merges of its rivers, as well as lakes and so on.
The water fortress, Paramere, is a fortress built in the middle of a lake with multiple rivers flowing in.
Natural fortress surrounded by tons of water.
From there, the river can be traced back to more than one territory, so it can also be a drag to keep an eye on all parts of the country.
"Shouldn't we just attack on a boat like that?
"No, that would be difficult. The other party is much more used to handling the ship. Assuming you get close by boat, if you know you're the enemy, close the fortress and you'll be attacked."
"So what are you going to do? You're not gonna tell us Barca Army to bridge the lake, Lion."
"Can't you? I thought with Barca's magic, it might work out."
"Hmm, that would be difficult. I mean, even if we could build a bridge, we'd have to attack the fortress from there, wouldn't we? with a time limit until Arborest's main unit arrives."
"Really...? So what if this is the way to go?
Apparently, he was counting on my magic, Lion.
There are things that can and cannot be done that are bad for Lion.
You should tell me you can't do anything you can't do exactly.
That's how Lion came up with an alternative when he said I couldn't.
You come up to me to check first, make sure you whisper in your ear and listen to what Lion thinks.
I see.
Then it still seems possible.
That's what I decided. I headed to my destination to implement Lion's ideas.
