Count Brander was in the mood that his heart would burst.

The race was thrown.

There's no turning back.

But it's pointless if Jason doesn't react.

(You said you sent a letter to the Kintetsu Knight, but if the opponent was a traitor?)

The letter said, "Please run away, Your Majesty alone."

As Dodge thought, he also thought that if Jason escaped, he wouldn't know where the war was going.

Jason will be the usurper, but once all the nobles have recognized him as king.

The title of "King of the Reed Kingdom" has absolute power over civilian opponents.

Isaac and the others are setting up a rescue mission for Elias, so using the conscripted civilians as shields should prevent them from moving.

Because those who support wise kings, such as massacring civilians, should not.

Doing so would dramatically reduce the number of supporters of Elias.

Besides, there's plenty of winners.

If we let Jason escape, the situation will all at once disadvantage the Elites.

Because it can divide the Reid kingdom from the north to the center, from the Count of Brander to the Crown.

All you have to do is take the conscripted soldier into Earl Bristol's territory and disrupt East-West traffic.

Then the soldiers of the Western lords will be anxious to "never return home" and deserters will come out.

If you keep Elias with you, you can imitate his handwriting and call for an end to the war.

A mere aristocracy would result in the execution of the Klan, but no one would be guilty if Jason, the current King, did.

An element of anxiety could be the support of the Fartil kingdom, which has deep ties to the Marquis of Welrod.

But that country hasn't recovered from the wounds of war.

Supporting them should not be possible in the long run.

In response, Jason can count on support from the Kingdom of Arc.

Jason is still the nephew of the current King Ark, even though he is confined to Jessica.

If we rely on our blood relatives for help, we won't go anywhere.

You may be able to ask for something in return, but it's cheap to think of losing everything if you lose.

--Why did Isaac try to decide the match in a short period of time?

Considering the reason, the Count Brander also saw the light.

Time is our best ally.

Think of Isaac's reluctance as the path to victory.

Then you just have to prolong the civil war.

After the war, you just have to think after you win.

"My lord, are you sure?"

Confirm that the secretary, who has served Count Brander for many years, "can reconsider now."

"I don't care. I already told you why we have to do it and why we can win. Can you pull anymore?"

But Count Brander kicks his ass.

Because there's a reason to get to Jason, besides thinking there's a way to win.

First, Michael's treatment depends on Elias, but he will be executed.

In contrast, Michael will definitely be saved if he wins on Jason's side.

Secondly, if we win by Jason's side, we can regain the rights of the mine that was unjustly taken.

If you destroy Count Lancaster's family, you won't have to pay them.

Thirdly, we can give back what we deserve.

We can overcome the desperate situation that 4W has betrayed.

It's no wonder you get as much as the Marquis of Warwick or the Marquis of Windsor.

The Counts of Brander will be called Marquises and will jump to the top of the kingdom's aristocracy at once.

It wasn't a bad bet.

This flipping is not complaining in itself.

The rightful king today is Jason.

Who will blame Jason for taking his side?

Because "all the nobles acknowledged his reign."

You may be accused of being a traitor, but you didn't have a problem either.

Isaac and the others are betraying each other while following Jason's lead.

I can't be blamed for doing the same thing.

Count Brander was properly theoretically armed with the legitimacy of his actions.

"Besides, it's too late now. By now, the mercenary forces will be invading the Marquis of Warwick.I can't go back. Then we just move on. "

This mercenary unit was prepared to sway one of the earlier ideas, the Western lords.

Destroying the Marquis of Warwick will make the soldiers of the Marquis of Warwick impatient.

I was doing everything I could to move the situation in the slightest favor.

"But if you're a mercenary, you can throw yourself out as an untouchable man in a civil unrest."

Stop talking and wait for His Majesty to move.

"... hah"

Seeing Count Brander's will hardened, the secretary gave up trying to stop him.

Now, I'm moving on the assumption that I betray Elias.

It is indeed difficult to reconsider.

But it all depends on Jason's movements.

If you don't believe me, you may not come here.

If that happens, the Blander Earls will be halfway there.

It was in dangerous condition.

"Royal Army, we're moving!"

Sentinel reports Royal Army activity.

"Which way!"

"I don't know yet! But it looks like they're ready to fight!"

"Then keep me posted, my lord!"

"Ahh, I wish you'd come over here....."

If this leads us to the Count Brander's house, Jason will have received my letter.

I can move into action with confidence.

But if you're going in a different direction...

That means Jason doesn't trust me.

Even if you turn around, it becomes difficult to move.

"Come here," Count Brander hoped.

"Royal Army... they're coming this way!"

All right!

Looks like Jason got a letter safely.

They must have been in the middle of an army heading our way.

We must get him through safely.

"I will break through for His Majesty Jason!We're going to attack Ulrich! "

Count Brander ordered an attack on the Count Ulrich family, convinced of the victory.

----------

"Royal Army, we're moving!"

Do you see the royal flag?

"The royal flag is not yet confirmed!"

I see.

Count Ulrich also confirmed the Royal Army's movements.

If there is no royal flag indicating Jason's presence, it is likely that the moving army will be led by Admiral Fitzgerald.

"Without a royal flag, it is possible that Jason is caught in the army."

Arthur, his son, points out the possibility to his father in the unlikely event.

Normally, you don't hide the royal flag or leave it on the battlefield with pride.

But now it's an emergency.

He could have escaped the battlefield, leaving the royal flag and making Jason think he was still there.

Now is the time to act with suspicion.

I had to avoid just letting Jason escape.

"That's right. All right, for now, all forces intercept the quasi-"

"Count Brander has moved!"

When I was about to order an interception.

Sentinel makes disturbing reports.

"Certainly! Our role is to buy time for the main force to arrive."

"Count Brander's army... Here they come!"

What!

Unbelievable reports temporarily pause Counts Ulrich's thoughts.

But with the hatred for Count Brander fueled, Count Ulrich will restart immediately.

"All forces, Count Brander, prepare to intercept!Arthur, you go to the Warwick Emperor as a messenger! "

"... you're going to split between us and the Royal Army?"

"No! We need you to circle our west side!"

Is that it!?

Arthur knew what Count Ulrich was thinking.

--Ask the Marquis of Warwick to circle the west while Count Ulrich's army is attacked.

It was necessary to form a siege to keep Jason from escaping.

But Count Ulrich's army is devastated.

It will be difficult to intercept the Earl Brander army, who has set up the ambush.

If you put a Royal Army spear in there, you can't fight it.

It should really only buy us time.

That means one thing.

--Buying time to prepare for total annihilation.

"The time has come for us to fulfill our duty as kingdom nobles.Do you know what it means to send you back to Lord Warwick in this situation?It would be a waste of time to ask such questions. Hurry! "

"Father... I see. But I also have a few things to say to my father.I'll let you know later. "

"Yeah, I'll ask you later."

"I promise!"

Arthur takes a small escort to the Marquis of Warwick.

When he saw him off, Count Ulrich looked at the direction of Count Brander's army with the expression of a demon and gave instructions to his men.

"Reinforcements are coming from the Marquis of Warwick soon!If we don't get the Royal Army through the streets by then, we're going to win! "

"If you crush Count Brander's army here, it's a big deal, isn't it?"

One of his nobles confirms with Count Ulrich.

Count Ulrich laughed loudly.

"Of course, Your Majesty Elias will remember better.Perhaps those who were active could be given a portion of the Earl of Brander territory. "

"Then you'll have to do it! Hey, guys!"

Oops!

The aristocracy under my umbrella is usually influenced by Count Ulrich.

They had no sense of sadness.

Rather, his anger for the traitor was raising his morale.

Count Ulrich felt sorry for letting them go to the dead at the same time as he trusted them.

But if you refuse, the country dies.

All he could do was not waste their lives.

"We intercept Count Brander's army!Don't let the traitors get away with it!Strike back! Strike back! "
