The reborn aristocrat is ambitious! "You've got pretty good status, give em to me"

Firstly, a meeting will be held which will bring together only key figures.

To determine future policy.

Isaac asks questions that concern him.

"When will the army of the Marquis Windsor arrive?

"About two weeks after the early horses arrived. Because the rate of mobilization of soldiers is roughly as good as the Marquis Wellrod family...... Ten more days, I guess."

From Wellrod to the territorial capital of Lancaster is about four days away.

Considering that the mobilisation did not take long, the answer was about ten days.

"Is the arrival of the Wilmente Marquis or Wallick Marquis another two weeks or so? However, the main streets are maintained by the elves. Maybe a little faster."

- Effectiveness of infrastructure development.

Neither did Isaac think he was going to see that effect so soon.

(Is this a bad idea? No, you'd think the traffic was more convenient and the military would be easier to move, but you wouldn't even know what I was thinking)

Isaac is now Elias's favorite.

Being liked by the king is like being promised future prosperity.

There is no way such a person could imitate to the detriment of the state.

They should only have a perception of the extent to which "increased speed of movement of the military is a by-product of street maintenance".

(Well, you'll be fine. If you say anything, just say 'I didn't like the carriage shaking')

If I were to realize it, it would be someone in my family, but I don't think I was planning it until the rebellion.

So far there have been no suspicious elements.

"I just want to wait for the army of the Marquis of Windsor, but a request has come from the Kingdom of Fatil to 'send reinforcements immediately'. In the meantime, I'd just like to keep the army moving up to the border...... What do you think?

Count Lancaster asks Randolph.

The army of the Count Lancaster family is about five thousand.

The main force is the Marquis Welrod family with 15,000 soldiers.

Even the elderly couldn't ignore Randolph's intentions.

"I think it's good. You can ask the Fatil Royal Army people near the border if we are going to help alone. What do you think of Isaac?

"I think I can go as far as the border, too. Your grandmother's home, Marquis Thornicroft, is also close, isn't it? Why don't we just go that far and rendezvous?

"I think so."

Once Randolph nods, he turns back to Count Lancaster.

"Send a messenger to the Marquis of Sonicroft's house here. They'll be back by the time we get to the border."

"Okay, let's do that. Hey."

Count Lancaster calls his men and orders them to leave at any time.

In the same way Randolph had ordered the vicinity.

"Dear Mathias, are you sure the elves will accompany us too?

The Earl of Lancaster will then confirm to Mathias.

Even though it was for treatment, he couldn't help but wonder that the elves would help.

"We follow, too, but focus on therapeutic behavior in the rear. Of course, I would like you to understand that the soldiers of the Rockwell kingdom will not be treated separately but only in the Reid kingdom. We have a position too."

"Yes, I intend to understand"

Mathias began the Rockwell kingdom as "the elves put their shoulders in the Reid kingdom" and feared they would be targeted by other countries.

This has affected how you have been treated like an instrument of war in the past.

- Killing using extensive magic in a dense area of infantry.

They've been helping me defeat my opponents using magic all the time.

It should still be perceived as a threat by humans from other countries who do not interact.

That's why...

"Dedicated to therapeutic behavior"

"I don't choose someone"

"I will not take part in any battle"

- These three were the minimum conditions for cooperation.

Focus only on humanitarian aid.

This is the condition offered by Mathias.

Most importantly, it was a condition that Isaac subtly induced me to come up with.

But so far this is also a limiting decision to (...).

If those living in and around Morane strongly disagree, the elves will be asked to return home.

This is called "Can I recruit additional people to do therapeutic work on the battlefield?" With the reply to the letter asking, "the companion's admissibility is to be returned.

"I hope the Kingdom of Rockwell pulls back when we're on our way."

Count Lancaster squeals his ideals.

It would be best if reinforcements arrived earlier than expected and pulled it off as "different from the calculations".

That way you don't have to waste blood, and you don't have to ask the elves to be impotent.

If the opponent were Simon the previous generation, Count Lancaster's wishes might have been fulfilled.

But now King Rockwell is my son Garrett.

I had an acquaintance with him when I was Foreign Affairs Minister, but I was under the impression that he was more hard-line than moderate.

It was his expectation that it would not be "the end of the war without crossing a line" with him.

"By the way, can I give you some war advice or something?

Ask Isaac what he cares about Mathias.

"If you attack with magic, you will be noticed, but you will prove what the eagle said.... but just in case, don't tell Alois and the others. I don't need any help."

Mathias laughed niggardly.

His aim is not to strengthen his relationship with humans, etc., but perhaps he just wants to feel the air of the battlefield for a long time.

(I knew you were a troubled grandfather...)

I hope you have a lot of combat experience, but if you stay like this, you won't hesitate to let go of your magic.

Isaac was feeling anxious that he should keep Matt or Tommy on additional watch, not just leave it to Claude.

----------

When Isaac and the others arrived at the border checkpoint, they received a warm welcome from soldiers on the side of the Kingdom of Fatil.

He cheers as if he won the war.

Seems like a great pleasure even though I haven't done anything yet.

A middle-aged man in fine armor walks forward from among them.

Beside it was also the appearance of the decree sent by Randolph.

"I've been waiting for you. I know you're tired, but I'd like to talk to you there first."

The man has a serious look.

- No, the man is not the only one.

The look on the face of the knight I sent to the decree was also strong.

"Something happened," I saw the look on their faces, and tension began to drift between Isaac and the others as well.

He gave the soldiers an order to rest, followed the man's instructions and went into the building where he was co-located at the interrogation center.

Along the way Isaac felt uncomfortable.

Even though it was a border checkpoint, there were about a thousand soldiers waiting.

Despite the war.

I do not believe we can afford to place soldiers on the side of our allies.

If the kingdom of Fatil is going to betray us, the soldiers should hide it until it strikes.

Isaac was beginning to feel unsophisticated anxiety.

When I was guided to a large room like the conference room, I started with a greeting.

"I'm a deputy in a nearby city, Viscount Partridge. I'm Russell, the owner of the family. I am not in a position to represent the country, but I would like to thank everyone who has come to reinforce me"

That said, he bows his head deep.

Count Lancaster begins introducing the Reid Kingdom side.

In terms of position, it might be an occasion for Randolph, the main proxy for the Marquis, to lead.

But Count Lancaster is the man who once served as Foreign Secretary.

Differences in character made him representative now.

From the Marquis Welrod family, Isaac and Randolph.

From the Count Lancaster family, Samuel and his son Daniel.

The rest is accompanied by their secretary and escort.

That sounds important.

It was the least I could do to make you listen.

Viscount Partridge spread the map to his desk to reveal critical information.

"The Rockwell Royal Army is attacking Askis, the king's capital, and Thornicroft, the territorial capital."

"Oh my God!

"What happened to the fortress city on the border!

Randolph and Count Lancaster are astonished.

The kingdoms of Fartil and Rockwell have fought indefinitely.

A strong fortified city was built near the border.

When the Kingdom of Rockwell is powerful enough to break through the fortress city in a short period of time, in 20,000 reinforcements it becomes water on the burning stone.

In some cases, the kingdom of Fatil may have to be abandoned.

"I can't say for sure because no further information has come in, but Menace in the fortress city seems to be safe. They're leaving soldiers to siege and other troops are attacking Askis and others."

"Hey, were the soldiers usually placed a lot in Menace?

"Yeah, because border protection is important. The main force was now stationed in Menace."

"I see."

Isaac nods as he looks at the map.

(This is an electric shock...... No, a penetration tactic. I do that a lot in times when there's no truck)

- bypass a strong defensive base and aim for a thin spot.

I guess they intend to surrender their defensive strongholds by means of a strategic siege, not a tactical siege.

(Uh, yeah, right. Soldiers are slow to mobilize. The only way to get in touch with it is by horse. Were you going to end the war before Reid Kingdom reinforcements arrived)

Given the level of culture, hundreds of years seems like a tactic that has moved on.

Isaac was impressed with this operation.

(No, not if you're impressed! Doesn't that mean you've been fighting a bad opponent since the first battle? It sucks, it really sucks)

Isaac doesn't have the "joy of fighting good opponents" or anything like that in mind.

Rather, the thought of "I wanted to fight a weak opponent" was stronger.

"Isaac. If you're not convinced by yourself, and you figure something out, can you explain it to me?

Randolph sounds anxious and gives Isaac an explanation.

"I don't know if I can explain it well either..."

Isaac is not an expert in war.

I was interested in history in games like FPS and SLG in my previous life and just said I read about it in a book about war.

I wasn't sure I could explain it in detail.

But I want to answer more than I was asked.

Isaac pointed to the map first.

"The territory of the Duke of Menace is on the east side. So what will the army caged in Menace do if Askis or Sonicroft fall?

"... if we isolate ourselves among our enemies, we have no choice but to surrender."

Randolph also nodded to Count Lancaster's reply.

The kingdom of Fathir extends to the south with the forests inhabited by the elves, and to the north with the high mountain ranges to the east and west.

For this reason it had a long rectangular like national territory beside it.

Dangerous if Askis, the king's capital in the center, falls.

If it is dropped as far west as Sonicroft, reinforcements from the Reid kingdom will become desperate.

I can't blame the commander of the fortress city for deciding to "surrender because I can no longer maintain morale".

"Exactly. You don't have to be stupid and honest to attack because you have a fortress city. All you have to do is keep him locked up in the main force in the city and only keep the suppressed soldiers. While the main force thinking, 'You just have to protect it until reinforcements arrive' doesn't move, you just have to take down a lesser soldier Askis or something. So I guess you've attacked me with an unprecedented army. We need suppressing soldiers and attacking soldiers."

"But what about replenishment? No matter how much, the Kingdom of Rockwell will not have a supply force to sustain such a great army"

"Unlike us, we can loot over there. So isn't it this season just before harvest? It's a pretty speculative and reckless plan, though, even if we're going to set the trend for war in the short term. But as far as the status quo goes, it also seems like a success."

When Isaac answers Randolph's question, he shifts his gaze to Viscount Partridge.

"Soldier who was outside. Isn't that a soldier who couldn't gather at Sonycroft?

"Exactly."

Viscount Partridge stretches his face.

Because Isaac felt weird about how he knew about it.

"Time for a decree to arrive that you have invaded. Time to mobilize soldiers. It's an invasion by poking that time lag. It's not just Askis, the king's capital, who has even attacked Sonicroft, it will be to crush the place to assemble. Until the time of the attack, they were often able to hide the mobilization of the army."

I still don't have a phone or a radio.

"We can no longer gather at Sonicroft, so we'll gather at 00."

"Ok"

- I can't reach you as smoothly as that.

Now in the city around Sonicroft: "Sonicroft doesn't seem possible, so where do we get together?" and would be sending orders to each other.

If we gather in a city close to Sonicroft, we may be detected moving and destroyed each one.

However, the further we distance ourselves for safety, the slower we will communicate by order.

Because they have crushed the rendezvous point, they are unable to provide immediate rescue and can only look at their fingers.

The soldiers who were at this checkpoint would be soldiers from cities and villages near the border who had trouble getting where they were going.

So we were gathered here to rendezvous with reinforcements from the Reid kingdom.

Isaac thought so, but the thought seemed to hit him.

"The Kingdom of Rockwell will be willing to take down Askis and Sonycroft while the Kingdom of Lead spends its time mobilizing and moving troops. However, this way of attacking you couldn't possibly afford to bring in a siege weapon. You can't do this without being confident that you'll drop the city in a very short time."

Only this point was questionable.

Sure, it's great to think of this strategy, but a world without even artillery instead of tanks.

I couldn't think of a way to let the city surrounded by city walls fall within a short period of time without a siege weapon.

At best, it is called "preparing insiders", but I cannot rest assured that there are many elements of uncertainty to wager the fate of the country.

There is a good chance that we have some other way.

Daniel answered such Isaac's question.

"Didn't you collect wizards? Have many people shown their talents in the last twenty years? Or, I don't even know if you hired him in from another country."

"What, can you magically do something like attack a castle?

This is out of Isaac's imagination.

It was because of the preconceived notion that "Elves can use powerful magic, but human magic can only use weak magic".

I never thought I could use it for siege warfare because at best it was an awareness of the degree of "use instead of artillery in the field".

This is because I have never seen human magic before.

I assumed it was something weak on its own.

"You can't magically smash the gates directly, but you can magically dig the ground with the gates and crumble every wall."

"Speaking of which, the Kingdom of Rockwell was a mining country. You might have a lot of wizards who are good at digging holes."

Isaac was preconceived by something called a magical battle.

- Attack your opponent with fire or ice magic.

I'm strongly impressed with those RPG lineage games.

I never thought of using magic such as that used for civil engineering work for castle attacks, etc.

This is the harm of having memories of previous life.

(No, I should have noticed sooner. I'm the one who asked Elf to do the civil work...)

- He had asked for street maintenance and shore protection work, but if he changed the direction of the work, he could also be used to attack the castle.

I'm ashamed of myself for thinking only of direct methods of attack.

(But when there is a way to attack the castle... Uh, you can't have this country anymore. In the first place, you can never fight a genius opponent who thinks penetrating tactics in the age of swords and spears. You can't win. Let's fight for an excuse and get out of here)

Tactics are created by the evolution of weapons and years of experience.

Unlike Isaac, the first temporary genius to use his previous life's knowledge, a real genius opponent who comes up with new tactics on his own has no chance of winning.

Isaac gave up before he fought.

So to make an excuse, "We headed for reinforcements, but we didn't make it," he begins to think we should fight lightly and retreat.

"By the way, you saw Sonicroft surrounded by the fact that he came back without going to the preaching, didn't you? Do you have any idea how many enemies we had?

Isaac asks the knight who headed for the preaching.

I just wanted to know how many enemies I had in front of me before I fought.

"Probably about 15,000 to 20,000. But I just could see it from this side, so to the other side of the city...... Sorry, sir."

"Fine, it would help if you just brought that information back."

(20,000 minimum. A lot, maybe 40,000? Considering the soldiers on their way to Wang Du... That's dangerous. You can lose your life if you don't fight Sonicroft's enemies once and get away early by the time King's Capital is defeated)

Even if you take between and think there are 30,000 enemy soldiers, there are more than Isaacs and their army.

It also seems spicy to buy time until the main unit of the Royal Reed Army arrives.

I felt the need to make excuses to fight lightly and escape before being joined by my enemies.

"If there's a way to break through the city walls and other defense facilities, it sounds like you should head to reinforcements early. We don't have time to wait for the army of the Marquis Windsor family. Shouldn't we be heading to Sonicroft alone?

Isaac expressed his thoughts in a pale tone.

It's not just the Marquis Windsor family.

Nor can the regular army of the Kingdom escape the pursuit of responsibility by saying, "You didn't make it to battle, did you?" if you fought first.

"It's not a bad idea as a retention," self-admires.

Isaac was calm because he was just thinking about running away.

"You're absolutely right. Fortunately, there are 20,000 soldiers here. We may be able to evacuate enemy forces attacking Sonicroft."

Count Lancaster also agreed with Isaac's idea.

He was not conservative like Isaac, he had a strong sense of saving (...) his allies.

"Sonicroft also has an uncle. You want to help early. The Marquis Welrod family mobilized quickly, so that would be their miscalculation."

With Margaret's brothers and his own cousins, Randolph was also keen on Isaac's proposal.

They "don't seem to have time to wait for the arrival of the Marquis Windsor family," they intuitively felt.

Then head to Sonycroft as soon as possible and start thinking we should defeat the enemy and rendezvous.

"Naturally, we will accompany you. Contact the other bases and you'll be able to collect another thousand or two. At least I'll blow them a bubble."

Viscount Partridge clenches his fist and speaks of his intentions.

Its nose is rough.

The cause of this was Isaac.

- The enemy has even attacked Askis and Sonicroft.

That's all, I spotted the enemy's strategy.

I had heard rumors about Isaac, but I didn't know he was deep into the war.

Plus, it's like, "We've already decided to win or lose. I have a calm attitude as if I am convinced that this war can be won".

Very incredible gall power to be a child.

"It's a big difference from myself being excited just because I thought I might win," he was reminded of the difference in the vessel.

- Isaac's bottomless know-how makes you feel fearless.

But the big man had anointed his fears and given extra trust to all who were here.
