The Strategist Knows Everything

The next day Bade came to the royal castle. Master Dio and I were walking out of the castle and watching the market in Wang Du. Master Dio is wearing a hat and dressed as a merchant. I'm not always dressed in a light blue island. That's not gonna find out who we are... should be.

Master Dio is wearing a hat because his face is known to some extent, but I know better the image of the outfit than his face, so if he doesn't wear black clothes and a coat, he won't be noticed first.

"Hey. It's a great day to walk. Yukito."

"I was in a depressed mood in my room."

I return it to Master Dio, who walks next door, feeling tired. The reason is a word I was told yesterday after leaving Baid's room.

You can't trust Bade.

That's what they said, and I finally realized that Master Dio didn't trust Bade. And you dare hide it.

They ate a cup again. Why do I often get danced in Dio's hands?

"It's not that depressing. Me, everything but one of Sophia's is as expected."

"For the most part, I can guess……. That's why I'm depressed..."

"Shall I then ask my warrior's views? Why didn't I object to inviting Bade into the Imperial Castle that I didn't trust?

Seeing Master Dio laughing funny, I let out a sigh, feeling increasingly depressed.

"There are two reasons. Simply because we are understaffed. And to make Bade build a faction and make it all over the place."

"You're right. The boulder is my warrior. Awesome. It's awesome. He's just an Archrite master."

Absolutely deliberate, I say. He's enjoying watching me get depressed.

After still harassing him and issuing a few compliments, Master Dio starts explaining from scratch whether he was satisfied or not.

"When I was a kid, did Bade tell me that you weren't going to be king of the continent? I've heard that. I said I wasn't interested. And three days after that. My sister was taken out of the royal castle. Because of that, I only see my sister two or three times a year. For one thing, I can't forgive Bade. Besides, the clan that made my father king. If that's possible, I feel like preaching all the time about the stupidity we've done."

"Did you take me out to make such a personal complaint……?

"This is where the real deal starts. Farn's clan has been producing prime ministers for five generations, going back from my grandfather's generation. Veris, you're famous."

"And you've come to an era of misadventure in the days of King Braig."

I speak of anticipation in order to move on. Master Dio smiles and nods without reluctance to do so and proceeds further.

"Yes. For generations, Farn, who was comparable in power to the King, was driven to the role of border guard by my father in the days of Baid's father. Instead of being held hostage, Bade became the wingman who entered the castle near the royal castle for a long time. Well, I still use it. That's why Bade hated my father horribly. However, even on that basis, my father was buying Baid's ability. That's why I became your sister's educator."

"The king said he would let Kaguya go, but he didn't come too fast."

"My father showed no interest in toddlers. I think it was about past sixteen that I began to be interested in my sister. I tried to summon him for a reason, but he couldn't come to the royal castle because Bade would deliberately wage war at the border. I would like to send a compliment on this. The only one who did a good job."

Completely eye-catching from the top. From Master Dio's point of view, Bade must be a trinket. No, it must have been a trinket.

"Overconfidence is forbidden. Dio is only two-thirds powerful now."

"I don't mean to... it's what you say. I'll take it honestly. I don't take a sweet look at Bade. That's it. Baid educated her to make it easier for her to see her. In detail, I only taught the least but what was necessary for the battlefield. That's why she's so unknown to the world."

Master Dio shook his head left and right as he moaned. I don't think it's the behavior of people who follow in without that public knowledge and make fun of each other day and night. At least you don't think it's bad public ignorance. Seems like there's a lot of things about Bade that I've been working on.

"I see that far. Kaguya's trusted, self-proclaimed brother entered the royal castle and told me about Sophia, is it still an operation?

"That's not my brother. I guess so. I got hit by that one. Furn's clan says they have a secret crowd for generations, but it seems certain. I've known that for a long time. Me and Yukito kept our mouths shut to make it clear to you."

"Well, if that's all intelligence-gathering ability, you know me and Master Dio are close to Sophia. And the fact is, we don't know that, and it's not like we're slowly consolidating the country now."

"Right. They really did. If my sister and Yukito hadn't visited, they would have leaked information from somewhere and ended up in the royal castle. Me and Yukito look to Albion, and Baid gathers together those who agree with him often. And my sister was gradually turned away from power, and eventually became king of ornaments. The king that Baid seeks is the king that says so. I guess that's some sort of strategy that Baid has in mind."

While looking around at the stores on the market, it's me and Dio who talk about it, but naturally, we take care to be listened to. Talking in the crowd is harder to hear, but it's still not perfect.

That's why Lady Dio and I are asking for powerful help. with the meaning of seeing the power of those.

"A hidden group/umbra that was heavily used in my grandfather's time. Strength comes with origami, but it's expensive. Besides, I can't get in touch with Velis' biggest forest because it's inside."

"How did you come into contact?

"The area inside is the territory of the Earl of Eulen, so I asked the Earl of Eulen after the war was over. During the civil unrest, they would reluctant to cooperate because they didn't like the sacrifice, but now they might be willing to cooperate. They wouldn't even have a hand in it with Bade."

It is easy to say that I asked the Earl of Eulen, but not to say that there is a inside in my territory, but how hard Count Eulen has struggled to make the covert people promise to cooperate. I guess I'll have to thank you next time.

"But I came to say that I would send one amazing arm..."

I look behind me with chills. There is one person following me and Master Dio. Well, you just know because you know you're wearing it, and from a stranger's point of view, you don't know you're wearing it. That's how exquisite the distance is and how it blends into the market.

"I'm surprised you were a little boy."

Master Dio takes the line I was trying to tell you. However, there is something definitely different from what I was trying to say.

"Dear Dio... That girl is a girl, isn't she?

I say that while looking at Master Dio, and then again, I look at the earlier child.

Tall is small. It'll only be as good as my breasts. I tie the brown hair up to my back in an elevated position. Did you say ponytail?

The face is a child's face to see. No matter how hard I try, I just look like a junior high. Maybe it looks like elementary school too. Although no one in this world uses middle school or elementary school students.

However, the age in the status is seventeen. Same age as Sophia. And gender is written as a woman, and there's no doubt about it. The speed is over a hundred. But the fighting power is the first half of the seventies. I'm pretty sure he was sent as an intelligence officer. What I'm doing now is a spy.

"... is that true...?

"It's true."

"I can't believe I'm looking at the wrong girl..."

He was so shocked. Pretty depressed. Well, Master Dio was confident when he handled girls, and his pride around there must have been hurt.

"Ability is worthy of credit. It's not a big deal where this conversation was heard."

"It's humiliating. Yukito. I feel sorry for myself..."

"Please don't... Look, it's almost the gate. Please get back on your feet quickly."

With that said, I dragged Dio out of the King's Capital like he had lost his soul.

■ ■ ■

Military exercises are taking place outside the King's Capital today. Would it be right to say teaching rather than military exercises?

The instructors are the guerrilla unit, which reports directly to Master Kaguya, and the mercenary regiment of Captain Ars. In other words, it is the most elite of the Blackbird Flag Army and Dear Dio rebels. The numbers do not reach four hundred on both sides.

Meanwhile, the opponent is a thousand Knights of the nascent Velis Army who are starting to integrate and regroup the Blackbird Flag Army and Dear Dio rebels. Leaders are General Paules and the Blackbird Flag Army executives.

"Which do you think would win?

"I don't even have to ask."

"Let me hear it."

"Captain Ars is on your side."

"It's more than double the power difference, isn't it?

Taking that into account, Captain Ars' wins will not waver. If this is five thousand to two thousand and five hundred, it is difficult, but if it is one thousand to four hundred, there is no difference between commanders that far. The battle is too small.

It is more advantageous on the part of Captain Ars, who is acting as an independent force, than the need for field manoeuvres over a broad horizon.

"I just need one person to take them down. The difference in numbers is double, but it's a difference that can be filled with quality."

"Didn't you say the battle was numbered before?

"If you go over five thousand, number starts saying things. Well, let's leave the magic behind."

Magic depends on individual talent. It can be described as the ultimate quality. It gets easier when I put this in my calculations. Some magic is advantageous on the battlefield, while others are unfavourable. It's not simple.

"I guess so. If my sister were there, both sides would perish."

"Don't remind me of anything unpleasant. I experienced it up close."

"With that said, you did. I can't believe my sister and Yukito fought long ago."

"Don't say things like old people. That's how dense it is. of the day."

My Lady Dio and I are moving from the vicinity of the gate to an unobstructed area of the exercise. I'm going on a tour. I didn't say anything about it, so it's about the girl I was talking about as an escort. That said, if anything is out of the ordinary, the girl will come to the news, and Master Dio is strong enough to say that she can't help herself. It is my common view with Dio that there is no problem.

Moreover,

"An awesome bowman is watching you."

"It's true. It's scary not knowing where you are."

"Absolutely."

Micana sees it from somewhat far away. He said. If you need anything, I'll cover you. He also said, so I'm pretty sure he's keeping the bow within reach.

"Here we go."

"Right. Looks like General Paules is willing to lead half the horseback riders, carry out raids, and kick the mercenary corps with it."

Mercenaries are the only ones not riding on horses. Kick the mercenaries first and the difference in numbers will widen. It's not wrong to judge. But.

"I guess it's sweet."

The mercenaries are used to the battlefield. It's a dangerous battlefield, too.

Naturally, he's been through many attacks on horseback knights. So I also know what to do.

It is common for horseback riders to say that they wave down their weapons or gain momentum.

The attack from top to bottom, the impetuous assault is very effective. But you have to manipulate more horses than you do on horseback.

In other words, fine control is difficult.

"The horse's been hit."

"The first assault has no choice. I can only ask for my personal abilities. But from there, it's a private arena for mercenaries who are used to war."

More and more people fall out, whether it's a rule to leave if you get hit with a simulated sword or a simulated spear.

General Paules should have lost momentum. I know you hated showing your back to your enemies, but that's life. The horse's leg stops if it becomes a riot. With horse control and vigilance around them, the knights, more drained of spirit than they thought, are continually hunted by the light movements of the mercenaries.

"Oh, that's pretty light."

"The Independent Force, which moved to poke General Paules' flank, has also fought the other half, but this is five minutes."

It would be the Blackbird Flag Army executives who are leading it, but who is it? Whatever the difference in numbers, it must be hard to stop an independent force moving endlessly.

"You're loyal to the basics. I can't help it. I'm stuck."

"If we allow a breakthrough here, General Paules' unit, which is being flirted with by the mercenary regiment, is a total collapse, isn't it? That said, I'm pretty sure it's still poor."

The moment I said that, a loud cheer came from the mercenary corps. General Paules must have been hit. Since the general has been hit, the exercise will be over soon. Was it the rule of the end when the general was hit? So should I say that it seems to be General Paules who storms all of a sudden?

"I brought him in because he said he wanted to see the exercise once, but the harvest is warm?

"Did you just say that?"

"I think your proposal is interesting. I leave that to you. [M] I'll deal with Bade. [M] I have to deal with Albion more than what happened to Sofia-sama. But Bade won't be willing to destroy Velis either, and, well, I don't mind if you reassure me over here. To a certain extent, we need to know who the enemy is, and I knew it would take a while."

Use the bait to scoop out those who can be enemies and overwhelm them. That would be Dio's idea. If you do poorly, you may get hit by a bade who has built up his strength, but Master Dio doesn't seem to be worried about that.

That's probably not overconfidence or alarm. After caution, I don't see that color in Dear Dio.

"The army has reached a turning point and the country is still unstable. Besides, if we don't turn our gaze to other countries, we have to deal with extremely troublesome ancient species."

"It's hard to get the right future. But getting rid of each and every one of them quickly is the shortcut. If you're in too much of a hurry, you'll fail. Oh, but I'm full of heads about Master Sophia. Do some acting like that."

"You don't have to."

In fact, because it is.

That said, I look up at the blue sky. The sun is dazzling. Seeing the sun reminds me of Sophia's laugh.

What is Sophia doing now? Is it safe?

All that came to mind disappeared.
