The Grok invasion by the Imperial Army closed with the retreat of all troops as the Commander died in battle.
There were just eleven Grokes, up from over two hundred Imperial troops.
Looking at the results alone, it is a supremacy of the Aldis.
More than 3,000 Imperial troops took advantage of their large numbers, and were defeated by the commanders as they stood by for ambushes from the woods.
Defeated by a single order of magnitude fewer enemies than they were, they retreated to the Glen.
Not only Moore, who had defeated the Imperial commander, but Minerva also defeated the enemy platoon leader, and Filia and Riana were the first to slaughter more than fifty people by lightning while holding most of the enemies hostage.
As for Aldis, it was unwilling, but Minerva, the twins, they can't talk more than they wanted.
With a complicated expression on his face, he rejoiced at the fact that he was safe, and he patted them with a lightness that stroked his head and worked hard on him.
After that, the Empire sent soldiers intermittently, but Grok, with twins, Cyril and Eleanor from Mariulés School, and a talented magician, managed to repel the invasion three times in a row.
Why the Grok side, which is inferior to the enemy, has never been defeated by the Imperial Army.
It wasn't just the power of Aldis.
It seems like you don't have all the footsteps.
Along with Charles and Rona, Aldis went to the Grand, now a fallen city of the Empire, and based on the information he had gathered, he told them so.
Arbitrage ahead?
"Cesare, the informant, says."
Aldis answers Moore's question.
The subject of the conversation in a room inside Grok's office is the trend of the Empire.
Based on rumors circulating in Ichii and information bought from Cesare, there are a number of things that have come to light.
The 3,000 Imperial troops that attacked us first were regular soldiers, but they attacked us three times afterwards, all as a result of the imperial nobility's despotism.
I don't know if I was convinced of my credibility or blinded by my greed, but it was said that I took military action alone without waiting for a formal order.
"There weren't many soldiers there."
Moore, tilting his head to the fact that all three offensives were less than a thousand men, finally finds himself convinced by Ardis' story.
"I thought it was strange. After losing with 3,000 troops, they would attack with only one-third of that strength. It was as if I had forgotten defeat, without any solution, twice or three times."
"I thought he was always full of minds because he beat other aristocrats." It's probably the result of not investigating our fighting power and not sharing the lessons of the defeat by sweeping up the amount and height of hair in the reclaimed village. "
Aldis laughs as he recalls a pathetic soldier who repeatedly fails and shows no deeds.
"I guess you saved my life..." So, is this going to continue in the future? "
"No, it looks like we're going to focus on the City-State coalition later." They're planning to send reinforcements to the monarchy of San Rogel. "
Moore gave Aldis a look of dismay at his report.
Will you leave me alone?
Toria won't be able to fool me anymore.
The armies of the Kingdom of Tria have been destroyed by the interception of the Ardis before the Empire.
A large-scale military operation would be impossible for the time being.
Of the four countries that make up the Robles Alliance, only two are directly bordered by Groko: the Empire and Tria.
Even if Toria were to become an Empire, she would not have to make a sudden attack on Grok as she did last time.
I'm sure you'd be willing to give in to the City-State Union and then leisurely bring in the power to conquer it.
"And one more thing." I think that Grok is becoming an anti-imperial base. "
"... how dare you gather the rebels and wipe them out?"
As the Ardis continue to win consecutive battles against Tria and the Empire, more and more humans are gathering to compete against the Robles Alliance.
It will also benefit Grok's power boost, but on the other hand, it will be even more hostile to the Robles Alliance.
If you don't have to rush to suppress it, it's just right for a moth lantern. It wasn't strange that the higher levels of the Empire thought that way.
"I have an idea."
"What the hell?"
There was no one else, but Aldis whispered into Moore's ear.
Two words three words Aldis whispered, while looking, Moore's expression was stunned, and a sudden voice was spewed out from his mouth.
Haha!?
"Don't you think it's a chance?"
Moore looked at Aldis, who was smiling and asking such questions, like he saw something unbelievable.
Toria, the capital of the kingdom.
It was a port town that flourished as a city state during the Caucasian dynasty and was annexed to the Kingdom of Nagas after its fall.
After gaining independence from the Nagras of the Armenian Empire and changing its role as the king's capital, it is still a big city that is bustling with trading products gathered in the ports as a relay point for the roads that run north and south through the eastern part of the continent.
Frederick, the first Trier king, ruled the land.
He nodded his dull body in vain to the sumptuous chair in the office and heard the report from the housemate with a grumpy expression.
Do you want to say you don't have enough strength?
"Hah. We've regained our strength to 600 by recruiting and regrouping, but we still need time to reach the previous scale." Half of the current battle force consisted of under-trained recruits. I'm going to march again..... "
Then why don't we gather the mercenaries!
"That's why... the gathering is so bad, especially since the mercenaries who returned from the last battle are so uncooperative..."
"What...! Do mercenaries reject my life?!"
Mercenaries do not serve the Kingdom of Tria.
Of course, I can't risk the lives of my mercenaries without a contract with King Toria, but it has nothing to do with Frederick's blood on his head.
It shall be true for him that he shall not be a king, and that he shall not be unwilling, that he shall not be unwilling, that he shall exalt the pinnacle of power.
Your Majesty, I'll tease him.
The old man standing beside him sandwiched his mouth, but Frederick still raised his voice and shouted hysterically.
"What are you talking about, Kostas?" You know the importance of the Heavy Iron Vein! Alburn suppressed the expansion to the north and the Empire's territory to the south. The expansion of our country is already at the forefront. If we don't get at least that territory with the Heavy Iron, we can make a difference to the Empire and Alburn! "
"Of course, your Majesty is right." However, considering the magnitude of the damage suffered in the previous battle, it is impossible not to need time until the battle force is ready. Fortunately, the Empire sends reinforcements to the monarchy to focus on the Western battlefield. We have a little time before the Empire reaches that territory. "
Frederick regains a bit of composure in the old man's words called Kostas, but he still asks with a feeling of impatience that he can't hide.
"But that grace won't last long." How long will it take for them to clean up the West and come back? "
Six months at the earliest, two years at the latest.
"Two years... will you be able to regain your strength in time?"
"Don't worry. Fighting isn't just about hitting soldiers and exchanging weapons and magic directly."
Frederick asked further questions as Kostas calmed down.
"... do you have a hand?"
"The opponent is a crowd of people who have no clutter." and those who are unrelated to one another, such as those who conspire against one another. Then you just have to cut it off from the inside. "
"Huh..."
Your Majesty has already prepared a man dressed as a mercenary. Please sit down and wait for the good news.
"Hmm. That's good-"
Frederick nodded to Hawkeye with a satisfied face to Kostas' answer, and when Frederick tried to continue speaking further, a message jumped into the office.
Thank you, Your Majesty!
"What? It's noisy!"
As soon as the out-of-breath message soldier entered the office, he knelt down and injected while lying face down.
"A war has just been declared in our country!" The enemy are attacking the boulevard beneath the castle! Doris Squadron is currently intercepting! "
“How's it going?
Did Frederick's voice come out of his mouth, or was it Kostas'?
The two of them, who had the same dazed expression, had recovered me almost simultaneously.
A declaration of war!?
"Are you in my country!?"
Kostas's question was directed at the messenger following the words that came out of his mouth.
"Where did they come from!?"
Today, the Kingdom of Toria borders only on the allies of the Robles Alliance.
With the Kingdom of Albaan to the north and the Armenian Empire to the south, there are no hostile states in the vicinity that would otherwise declare war.
When Frederick's ominous idea that the Empire had betrayed him, the messenger answered Kostas' question.
Hah! The enemy calls himself 'Wisteria!'
"Wisteria...?"
Frederick and Kostas unexpectedly met in an unknown country name.
