Astra put her hand on her chin and thought.
"Dear Kilu, let's know the enemy first. The enemies are the meadows. How many?"
Kilu Shineng took a deep breath once Astra asked.
"Right. The enemies are the savages of the meadows, and the numbers range from 12,000 to 5,000."
"I'd like a little more accurate information, but you can't help it. So how many of these can you get ready?
"The Kobans, the Sioux, not the Great River. There's a lot of escape here. So I was wondering if I could collect 25,000."
Pope's order to evacuate to the Great River had also collapsed due to the failure of General Yun's delayed operation, and had fled much to the land ruled by Kilu Shineng, not in the direction of the Great River.
"Not enough. No matter how hard I try, I want 20,000 more. Fifty thousand, no, we need forty-five thousand."
To Astra's word, Kilu Shineng gave her a surprise face.
"Is that so? I assume you have the knowledge to transcend the Empire's Shaomin. He destroyed twelve or thirty thousand meadow barbarians in a hundred thousand armies. This time the people of the meadows are 12,000 a tenth, 25,000 in proportion, and this is better."
Astra laughs bitterly at Kilu's words.
"No, it's not. It's not. Sure, I've never seen him before, but if it's a military board, I can beat the Empire's Shaomin myself. I actually beat Master Noel as well. But it's not."
Astra shook her head wide.
"There are too many things for both of them that I don't have."
"What is there for both of us and not for the teacher?
"It's Gyukou and Kroy."
Astra, in a nutshell, the room quiets down with Sin.
"Master Kroy understands, is it Gyukou?
Shaomin is also a general who knows other countries, but Gyukou is also known to other countries at the same time.
A drunken thug best describes him, but that's not all.
Obey Shaomin, but do not listen to his brother-in-law.
If you don't like it, even your boss beats you.
Not once or twice, such as being put on a provocation to protrude and be a payback.
"That's right. It's Gyukou. Gyukou and Kloi. They, oops Kloi, were women, weren't they? That doesn't matter now, and the only thing the two of us have in common is unusual force without anyone in line. The gall power to go into the mighty enemy without questioning anything if he tells you to go into it, and to stay and keep it down until you die if you tell him to. And trusted force as my men around arrive from behind. That's what we both have. Soldiers are not pawns. There are no trusted brave men who will march and stay as sacrificed as pawns on a military board."
Kilu could only remain silent in Astra's mourning.
"And that's right. Twenty-five thousand. How many of them are knights?
"Are you a knight? That's right, like seven hundred."
"I think that's about it, too. I imitated Master Noel to find out about the battle of the Imperial Meadows. In addition to the Shaomin army five thousand, out of the imperial army one hundred thousand two hundred, the Schulz army three thousand four hundred, the Bull army two thousand seven hundred, the Larsa army three thousand three hundred, the Bao army one thousand six hundred, and others, the small nobility totals seven thousand. That's all the knights are in."
Kilu is engulfed in surprises that Astra's words don't know several times.
"A total of nearly 20,000 knights are in that battle. And the number of mercenaries is less than 10,000."
"Well, is that it?
"Don't you see? I don't usually farm. A soldier as a profession is 20% of all armies, and he's finally battled for 100,000 to 120,000. It also fits into a trap, using a skilled field fortress technique."
Astra's word, one word, increased Kilu's sense of despair.
"So how do I..."
"I'm sorry. I can't come up with a good idea either. Even if you float, you have to rely on poorly shared bets."
"Huh? Is there one? Doctor."
Astra looked like she was gone.
"Yes. But this is a really bad bet."
"But there's a way for everyone to help, isn't there?
Astra opened her eyes after meditating in silence and shaking her head several times.
"No, there's no way for everyone to help. It's a way to survive many with less sacrifice."
"Who are all the people who can't help?
"Right. Your daughter, a few relatives of the stewards, priests, and associate priests who support you. And your ruling district."
To Astra's word, Kilu shut up again. But I stared at Astra with a face ready for something.
"Okay. I bet my teacher."
Astra also threw away all her strays in a word that Kilu had decided to be ready for.
"... ok. Now, evacuate all the people in the Territory and the neighborhoods, and all those who have evacuated."
"Duh, where to?
"To Five Thorns Fortress Noel"
Astra got up and pointed to where the fortress was.
