The fortified city of Leather Elka is also surrounded by the tallest and thickest walls in the Kingdom of Pawnsonia. He carries a steep mountain on his back, and it's impossible to break in from there unless he's also a bird.

It is also a large city with a population of 100,000. However, due to the walls of the castle, the location of the land is limited, and the technology of high-rise architecture is advancing: there are many collective dwellings of more than three floors, the tallest, with 10 floors. Carrying furniture to the 10th floor in this world without elevators can also be a magic or magic guide.

In the confusion associated with the death of the previous king, 1st Prince Austrin entered the Leather Elka. The residents were temporarily buoyant about that, but they are regaining calm.

It's just that now the chaos is about to start again —— 20,000 elite multi-national Einvists are lining up outside the city. Residents are restless, although they know it's Austrian reinforcements, not a war on the Leather Elka.

"That looks like they're all subhuman."

"Aimbist wasn't the enemy"

"I wonder what Master Austrin is thinking..."

Essential for wasa.

Carriages loaded with large quantities of food are transported to the Einvist camp. The dissatisfaction "Payment doesn't seem to be cash, it seems to pay after the war" also rises to the edge of people's mouths.

In fact, Austrin, almost dressed up and out of King's Capital, has little money. Leather elka is not ruled by nobility because it is a royal direct jurisdiction. Call the deputy and ask him about the funding situation. It has been for some time, but he couldn't afford to buy food instantly.

"Oh, well... thank God for reinforcements after the war, yes, Lord Gerhardt said."

Obviously it was Austria who showed a relieved face.

This is a lord's hall with a cliff on its back even in Leather Elka. I would say a separate residence for the royal family.

Few halls are used for just a few days when they come on an inspection, and it is only once in the past that Austria has also been here. Usually it's just a hall where maids take care of it —— just "a waste of money," but these symbols of waste were found everywhere.

"Ha. I told you to focus on the fight first."

The one who responded was a big man who seemed to be nearly 2 meters tall. The building of the face is human, but there are two ears glistening out on the head, and fur hanging on the back. Its colors are yellow and black —— tiger beasts. The blood of the tiger is quite thick.

The clothes you are wearing are relaxed and Einbist streams tied with a belt at your hips. It was a colorful garment with a mixture of bright empty and pearl colors.

I want to fight fast.

"Oh, my arms squeal"

The beasts say it orally. This reception room has a long table, on one side, starting with the Austrian and squire chiefs, lined with Pawnsonian nobles.

The opposite is the face of the Einvist.

"That... is Lord Gotholt in charge of the army?

Austrlin snarls at me. That's not impossible either. Tiger Beast Man —— Gotholt doesn't have a military look at all.

"Yep. This Gotholt-Kostenloss anchor is the chief of the army and also the rank A adventurer of Einvist"

"Oh, my God, you're also an adventurer"

"It is the trained who actually move the army, but it is the strongest who will be the total generation… that is the Einvist lesson. A few exceptions in my case, and some military nationalities."

Gotholt is a raw Einvist. He is also a man who is intoxicated by Gerhardt, who is also known as the King of the Beasts by making him king. It has the value of "the strong is the great". Next, of course, is the policy of "strength is the helper of weakness".

Seeking strength, helping those in need —— that's how Einvist thinks. Looking only literally, it also looks like an excellent way of thinking, but it's actually pretty hot and bitter. When left alone, Gotholt talks about how wonderful King Gerhardt is.

There are six people lined up next to Gotholt. They're all beasts, but some of them are women. Will it use magic as well —— Austrin thinks.

"Let me introduce you to the members of my party Polar Tiger."

You haven't read Austria's thoughts, but Gotholt introduces the members.At the end of the seventh introduction, Austria nods satisfactorily.

Half of the members must have reached that rank for the party. Gotholt's party will have at least four Rank A.

But what bothers me is beyond that. There are 11 Einvist representatives, seven of whom are "polar tigers," and the remaining four are --.

"Oh, should I introduce you to us too?

said the young man with a refreshing smile.

Bright blonde has a slightly stronger habit, with cool blue eyes in her eyes. He's a palpable handsome guy with white teeth shining when he laughs —— yes, he's a "human".

Besides, three other people besides him are also "human". Only humans are gathered in the "multi-man nation" Einvist.

"I'm Igloo-Full Blood. He's the leader of the Rank A party Rising Falls."

"I see...... which other members?

"These four are full members, all rank A"

"All!?"

"Yeah. One's in debt, though."

borrowings? And I said the words that bothered me,

(Now we should be happy they are on our side)

Austrin changes her mind. There are 8 Rank A's here.

The war revolves around a clash between a cohesive army and an army, but it is the highly-ranked adventurers who have the potential to turn the war upside down.

They can't move together as an army, but they can also destroy the army on a party-by-party basis. They fight monsters much more powerful than humans all year round.

(Rank A's strength is said to be much more than Rank B...... There's only one Rank A party in Pawnsonia, and there should have been a 3 person party over there. No matter what you think, this one is stronger. "Kensei" is in the way, but there's no way we can deal with 8 Rank A's)

Smiles in nature and mouth.

For once, there is a rank S above rank A, but to the extent that there are two people on the continent, participation in the war is forbidden. You won't have to worry about that one.

Igloo just finished introducing the members, he said:

"Well, I'd like to talk to you a little before the meeting,"

"What is it?

"My prediction, Quinn Brand moves."

The meeting room was squatted. But Austrin is calm, the first prince, even if he rots.

"... it's not inconceivable. You will hate Pawnsonia in the war ahead. If you can poke behind the Princess Army as we move, we can use it."

Words like "Oh" and "That's the Prince" leak from among the Pawnsonian nobles, but Igloo shakes his neck sideways.

"It's not. Quinn Brand will form an alliance with Princess Cujastria"

"What!?"

"The current emperor Kaglai was pursuing a policy of Yoo-hwa. It wouldn't be strange if our predecessor King Pawnsonian hadn't invaded, forming an alliance much earlier."

"But he's the one who fought until the other day."

"Emperor Kagli is quite a person who has been able to do so. It won't be as many things as a little goth (...). He thinks that the death of Pawnsonian king has eliminated any barriers to alliance."

The death of the previous king is an assassination by Unken, but Unken has the nobility of Pawnsonia. Within Pawnsonia, it is considered a "rebellion by nobility" and is not linked to Quimbrand.

Austrlin also had somewhere to split that Unken's motive was unknown, but that he probably deserved his father's death.

"... mumbles like I've learned a lot"

"I've met Emperor Cagley several times."

There are no lies in Igloo's words. As a condition of becoming a Rank A, we also need to nominate multiple countries. There are a certain number of high-ranking adventurers who work across the borders of those who have established their home base.

"The strength the Princess Army can move would be a good place for 8,000 Wang Du soldiers, 500 Knights and 2,000 Grugshrut Border Berg Army. But if Quinn Brand enters here, 5,000 will be multiplied. Oh, the information around here was shared earlier by the Prince's men. In other words, if the other side chooses Cage Castle, 20,000 of Einvists seems not enough. Uh, how many soldiers was led by Master Austrin?

"... 5,000."

I said, it's a lie. In fact, Leather Elka soldiers have finally gathered officials from the Security Investigation Agency and other places, such as 5,000, and given that city security is also necessary, 2,000 is actually a good place to move it.

"I see. In any case, at 25,000, it would be tough to deal with 15,000 to cage"

"Then you can fish it out. No, before our Einvist army to be caged, we are not enemies such as the Pawnsonian army."

It was Gotholt who said it back. I don't care if there are Pawnsonian faces in front of me and I say "not the enemy," and the Pawnsonian nobles say "this is comforting" in the nobles, etc.

"Mr. Gotholt, the enemy is stronger to protect. I have pleasure and pain."

"You think you're going to attack me over the walls with a bow and magic? We can climb the walls of this Leather Elka without suffering."

"The essence of 'pleasant and painful' is not ranged attacks. It's a trap."

"... that it's a trap?

"It was the Field Wyburn crusade that knocked them down when they were promoted to Rank A"

The place was bothered. Wyburn, known as Winged Dragon, very rarely produces degenerate individuals of the wings as a subspecies. One of them is Field Wyburn.

On bipedal foot, the giant enough to look up is covered with a stiff scale. So much so that it is also said that the "Fortress of Divine Speed" etc. can be used in order to exceed 200 km/h at full speed.

"You can't insult them for defeating Field Wyburn with one trap"

…………

The strong say they know the strong.

Gotholt was silent because we know that Field Wyburn is not an easy opponent to crusade against. There will be match for battle, but if the "polar tiger" fights, he will be able to pick up the win but a few will not be safe.

"May I hear Lord Igloo's thoughts?"

Encouraged by Austria,

"First, they will be in formation in the satellite city of Pound. With a population of about 6,000, there are about 1,000 soldiers who can stay. Deploy troops to the surrounding plains. When they take this place, it's like they can stick a knife down the throat of the king's capital."

"Mm-hmm. We thought the vicinity of Pond would be a showdown place"

"Let me guess, Pawnsonia will withdraw (...)"

"-- what?

"Because that's the operation."

"... what do you mean?

When Austrin listens closely, Igloo giggles with pleasure.

"I told you, I have 'pleasant and painful'. If I were in the princess's shoes, I'd set a massive trap on Pond. And at a time when the Einvist army occupied Pound..."

Bong! and spread his hands.

"But I don't think Kujastria would do that"

"If we can get cornered, humans, we'll do anything. —— or if you don't, that's just in this one's favor. The defense of the King's capital is certainly in Pawnsonia's favor, but residents outside the walls cannot be protected. If you ask me which way to abandon the outer edge of the Wang capital or the satellite city, well, you abandon the satellite city, right? Nobody wants an enemy near their eyes and nose."

…………

Austrlin thinks. I guess the information about "pleasant and painful" is what Igloo learned because he is an adventurer in the same position. If only we had that information, we might have come to the same conclusion ourselves.

"... Lord Igloo is right. What if Pond traps you?

"Let's take a detour. It's a trap ant if you want to easily dump the pound and retreat. No problem if you detour. It's kind of a waste, but it's too risky to take a pound."

"What about the Cage Castle Battle in Wangdu? As Lord Igloo said earlier, this is a large number of people, but it's not good for the people in the cage."

"Yeah, that 's--"

deepening his grin more and more, Igloo says.

"-- Could you leave it to us? I'll break the walls."

"Now, what...?

"We will break the walls. Break in from there. Wang Du is huge, so even though it is' pleasant and painful ', it is impossible to put traps all over the area. There will be a trap near the castle gate, so you mean break the walls. And then, if you get inside, you'll win by number difference. There are only 8,500 Pawnsonians before the Quimbrand army and the Gurguschrut Border Bersers join."

"Yes, no, it's not. Break the walls? How do we break it down for four?

"Well, of course."

Igloo's confidence is not loose.

"We are rank A. That's about all you can do."
