The Strategist Knows Everything

Chapter Two: Sister and Brother 3

Surprised.

To what do I owe the skill I have, the breadth of the obtuse range?

In the meantime, while I was trying to do what I could, I was trying to remember Sun Tzu first.

I don't have to tell you, it's a law book. It consists of thirteen chapters, characterised by the fact that they take war seriously. It says you shouldn't go lightly and when I read it I was surprised.

I generally remember the content, because it's interesting and I've read it many times. However, people's memories are not complete. There was a part of it that was really missing, and when I tried to remember it, Obtuse was activated to accurately show the information on the screen that I couldn't remember.

Grandson's Seven Totals.

I. Enemy allies, which monarch grasps the heart of the people.

II. Which one of the generals is a good person?

III. Which army is the heavenly interest or earthly interest in favor of?

IV. Which of the military statutes is more strictly observed?

V. Which is more powerful the army?

VI. Which is better trained for soldiers?

VII. Which of them is more clearly protected by the Prize Essentials?

You should only wake up a soldier if you have a good chance of winning more than seven.

This is good. Very good. Now you no longer have to bother using tactics and strategies of wandering. That said, we need to adapt it to this world. Anyway, there was magic in this world, and the literature also wrote about the presence of dragons. It is hard to believe that Earth's methods of warfare will pass as they are.

Still worth too much though.

"Do you know the popularity of the monarch, or did you say that compared to the current king, Dio is overwhelmingly on top, but compared to Kaguya, he is one another?

The general's superiority and inferiority must be beyond as long as Master Kaguya is around.

Both heavenly and earthly interests are equal now. Do we keep this to each other too?

Master Kaguya's army does seem to be adhering to the rules, but if you look at the whole thing, you must be adhering to them.

The strength of the army would be beyond it. The other side is Lord Kaguya's army, which until recently guarded the border, and the direct military, which has continued to fight the king. Different experiences.

The training of the soldiers will probably be over there. There must be a difference in level of practice.

The final prize must be difficult. In a way, there's a lot to gain from merit over there. If you see punishment tied up with fear, do something terrible. But in terms of fairness, definitely this way. "

After a short talk, I repeated what I had just said and almost sighed unexpectedly. Of the seven, three are on the other side, two each other. There are only two conditions that have won the other two.

Factors directly related to the battle are up there. Very unlikely to win. But it's already been a war. Now that I don't have a chance of winning, I can't say I will stop.

"Excuse me. Lord Clay. How about lunch?

"Mikana? It was just fine. I need to ask you something."

"After lunch, then. I heard you haven't eaten anything in the morning either. My squire with you made me cry, so I'm here on purpose. Have lunch."

Micana stares at me. No matter how you think about it, it's hard to say it back because I'm bad.

"Then I'll make it a meal. But could Micah hang out with you, too?

"Am I? I don't mind, but you have my share of the meal in the quarters, so you're not taking it here, are you?

"Fine. I won't let you have time."

That said, after I had the prepared lunch carried on my desk, my lunch began in the form seen by Micana standing in the room.

I told her to go out with herself, but eating while being watched is really hard to eat. What are you going to say about the requirements?

"Do you have any idea what kind of people are around General Kaguya?

"I believe all the named generals in Castle Cannon have informed you?

"Who's the greatest or the most capable?"

"I see. Why me?

"You're admiring General Kaguya, aren't you? I thought you were familiar with the sides."

To the words I grumbled about with the intention of teasing you a little, Micah did. And nod. I thought I'd be shy or deny it, but apparently for Micah, respect for Master Kaguya is neither a disgrace nor a denial. For once, he's an enemy general.

"As far as I can tell, General Kaguya has more of a side to call the three. One is Dear Anna Di-Drich. I'm the castle owner, but I've been told that most of them are women who continue to be assistants to General Kaguya, who have no choice but to do business, command, or defense."

"Omnipotent…… troublesome."

"The other is Master Bade Farne. I hear he's a man entrusted with supplying the military and managing his financial situation, but this guy is basically on the back, so he won't be on the front line."

"I see it's in the hands of the man who can sustain 10,000 troops without a shortage, so? And the last one?

"Dear Yuri Stratos, Recently, I hear that you were picked up by Kaguya during your journey, and that you are an excellent intellectual anyway. Older men are also said to be young boys, and I don't really know who they are."

"Okay. Replenishing the all-powerful auxiliary, is that it? It's a prerequisite to make sure you lead."

When I shrug like that, Micah shrugs like she was shrugged.

"You're a general, aren't you obvious?

"Sure. But I wonder if its nature is available."

Well, I could hear what you wanted to hear. The question was whether anyone could lead the entire army instead of Master Kaguya, but even if he could maintain it, it would seem difficult to lead. Then we have to do it.

"Thank you, Micana. It's all right now."

"No, I'll make sure I can eat everything before I go. I won't stop if they leave me."

"No, I'm not leaving a meal..."

When I looked into my eyes, I felt a strong willingness, so I decided to give up and let them do whatever I wanted. We're not eating together, but it's not bad to have someone to talk to.

"With that said, you can walk a horse now."

"I thought it was a mistake that the horse walked me. But it's surprising that you can ride in a few days."

"You followed Micana's advice, because you were washing and feeding horses. It's important to get used to it."

"The horse is alive, too. The tension of the riders is transmitted, and most importantly, horses are afraid to carry the unfamiliar."

Now I know the word so painfully. Anyway, I've been shaken down many times. The horse looked angry then, but he was probably scared. I did something wrong.

Did the horse take about seven days to ride? On the road until I came to this castle, Micana was at my fingertips. When she asked me why it was a carriage and I returned it because I couldn't ride a horse, I was told it was a special training.

Well, a commander who can't ride a horse will never raise his morale.

"Yes, I'm done eating. Is this it?

"Confirmed. But…… eat every day. Get a good night's sleep too. My men have raised their voices to worry."

I scratch my head and look away at Micana, who gives me a look that cares about this one. I'm sorry, but right now, if I can't, after this, I don't have a chance to.

About twelve thousand people are gathering at this castle right now. We're still on the siege net, so if this is the limit, it's the limit. We can still collect the siege net if we solve it, but if we do that, we will be restored to the original quintile state.

Now the rebels have nearly two-thirds of Velis' territory in their hands. From the top of his head, the Kings should be left with nothing but land that looks like an elongated trapezoid. Because of the nailing of Master Kaguya's 10,000 troops to the center, an operation to gradually invade from both wings could be carried out, but the shape of the elongated trapezoid would not change now more than Master Kaguya is alive. At any rate, the main unit in the center hasn't advanced a millimeter.

"The situation is pressing. So to the extent that we don't fall, we'll manage ourselves."

"Then I'm in trouble. We are."

The door was knocked to block Micah's words.

No one likes to visit my room. So it's basically a preaching order that lets you know what you're visiting.

"Get in."

"Excuse me! Hurry, to Your Highness's room! Your Highness has fallen!

That was a report that was brought about in the time to come and could rock the rebels.

■ ■ ■

After strongly telling Micah not to say anything else, I immediately headed to Dear Dio's room.

I'm out of breath because of the run, but I don't mind knocking on the door.

"Yukito Clay! I'm here!

"Get in."

The voice heard from inside was that of Count Eulen. Maybe the symptoms are so severe that I can't speak up.

That's the worst imagination I've ever had.

"Dear Dio...?

"Yukito, if I could see your reaction, it would be worth the fall."

Dear Dio, who is on his way to the executive desk, and Count Eulen, who helps beside him, were as usual.

"What?"

"Just get close. I want to keep my voice down."

I say I'm willing to tell a story I don't want to be heard. I nod small, slowly approaching the concierge.

"First of all, I'm sorry. I needed you to panic. [M] You'll think I'm down with this. Well, actually, I collapsed a little bit because of overwork."

"It won't be a battle if the General falls, will it? What are you gonna do?

"I've been sick and weak since I was a kid. So my sister won't doubt this report. And then we should go out at a speed like divine speed and either surround this castle or we should be in formation nearby. That's all you can tell, isn't it?

The general falls and the rebels are confused. Master Kaguya should not miss that. You can hunt as many troops as you want, such as those that don't function properly.

That's how Lady Kaguya pokes at the gap she went hunting, storming her way to the king's capital, and debating the king.

That would be the maneuver to say. It's just that I didn't enjoy it.

"How many ambush units are there?

"I want about two to three thousand. I think 2,000 is the limit, because I'm going to go away for sanatorium."

"Ten thousand is ten thousand?

"That's where you come out. Yukito."

Count Eulen laughs niggly. Master Dio has a similar grin.

"I'll keep this for you again."

Saying so, it was a dagger tucked away in a golden sheath. The dagger of Dio's grandfather, a symbol of authority used to show that I have full authority when defending Sofia.

"I know it's hard. I understand giving you a dangerous role and saying it's like betraying someone who believed in me. But we don't have time. If you miss this opportunity, you won't be able to poke a gap in your sister anymore. A prolonging war degrades the country. Other countries are slowly starting to see movement. If it moves, it's the only time."

"Dear Dio..."

Those eyes were so full of power of will that I had never seen before. With a strong readiness, Dear Dio is about to come to what he will do. It's dangerous, too. The ambush squad is more dangerous. Because it jumps into the enemy's power zone.

"I hate my father. But I keep calling you Father because I wanted to show you around my will to bear everything. This fight is a stupid parent-child fight. No one gains, no one rejoices. That's why I settle with this hand. But we have to live up to our responsibilities as those who stand on top. So, I... Yukito, I'm leaving you for the soldiers. I'm sorry I've always relied on you, but I want you to do me a favor."

"You think I can lead 10,000 soldiers?

"If you can't do it, I won't. We're gonna find another way, right? If you can't lead 10,000, you share well around and make sure you play a role."

I know you're complimented, but I'm not too happy. Maybe that's because I'm running out of words and I can see Dear Dio's intentions in placing me on the General's behalf.

"... how much should I attract Master Kaguya?

"As Long As You Can"

Conditions are quite difficult. You can't lose too many soldiers here. If prior withdrawal is allowed and instructions are given to travel to other castles, and the damage is not reduced to the loss of Halper Castle and the slightest soldier, the next will be lost. On top of that, we have to stop Master Kaguya.

It's very troublesome. The most troublesome thing is that Mr. Dio hasn't thought about the next one. Well, in fact, an ambush failure means total annihilation. Is it useless to just think about it next time?

"This life has been saved by you. So I decided to use it for you... I'm here to make you win. Please give your order. If it's your order... let's fight dragons, even."

"Hehe, thank you for your loyalty and my luck in helping you. I'll allow the generals to see me shortly, and I'll tell them I'm going to step back. I'll let you know at that time that I entrust the full powers. [M] My sister should be moving soon. It becomes a battle before discontent erupts. So don't worry, we'll take care of it."

"It's not reassuring, but I'll do my best."

"I asked for it. My military master."

Lady Dio's face, who said so and laughed, looked a little more tired than usual.

It was learned in the castle that Prince Diorud had fallen within that day and had fallen backward.

The generals jumped around each unit to contain the confusion, and somehow the castle regained its tentative first calm, but the next morning the castle was wrapped in more confusion than yesterday due to a bell announcing the approaching of a rang enemy.

Closer enemies fly an army flag with winged black birds. It's called the Blackbird Flag. There's only one person in the country that flies it.

General Black Princess Kaguya Hulberto.

About a month after the rebellion. For the first time, the main forces of both armies confronted each other.
