Chapter 4, Episode 20 [Each Thoughts] Part 2

Two days after the game played out on the exercise floor.

More than thirty human beings were gathered in the large room of the castle.

"That is the state of affairs in our country. I'd like to have a lively debate with my brothers today to break this situation."

Map of Zaluda Domestic spread over large tabletops.

Grahardt raised his voice as he directed the pawn with a baton representing the troops and fortifications placed on it.

I want you to help me protect my country.

Julianus I, sitting down next to Grahardt, opened his mouth.

Using the Great Hall of the Royal Castle, the first joint Eastern Troika military conference was opened.

In addition to the generals and cavaliers chosen from the kingdoms of Mist, Roselia and Zaluda, the senior nobles responsible for the diplomacy and finances of the Zaluda kingdom were gathered in one room and made face to face with each other for the first time.

Among them is the figure of King Julianus I of Zaluda.

Until now, Julianus has only counted enough to show himself on the ground of military council.

I guess that means I can't be optimistic about the current state of the kingdom of Zaluda.

The King's ad hoc military council was incandescent from the beginning.

"No, I think it should work to keep the front line this way and to tighten the tightening to the Altomere Empire against the surrounding countries!

A young knight sitting next to him bit the word as a well-deserved nobleman shouted loudly.

"What are you talking about! Isn't that what Oltomere thinks of the kettle? Their aim is to occupy the land by closing the gap where we are holding our hands!

"Calm down. To my mind, the three countries of Zaluda, Mist and Roselia alone can't be fat enough. Shouldn't we still be waiting for Ernesgoola to enter the war here?

"That's been going on since the beginning of the war, but there hasn't been any progress in the past year"

"But it will be difficult to maintain the front any further in our country alone. We really should pull in Ernesgoura here. Shouldn't we be doing everything we can to that?

"Stupid! Ernesgoola is supposed to help our country. What do you think the queen of that country is called!

"Dear Left! It was undoubtedly aimed at the national territory of our country that we proceeded to advance the army near the border, while continuing the talks with the messengers we sent for the laziness!

The ancients propose enduring warfare because of the difficulty of securing supply lines and the location of the Quartet in the central part of the continent surrounded by enemy countries as a problem for the Altomere Empire, and the young knights develop self-opinion that they should actively launch to maintain the morale of the conscripted peasant soldiers.

Everyone was squeezing their wits and expressing their opinions vibrantly.

In the meantime, Liangzhen, Rione and the four Malfist sisters, solidifying in one corner of the room as if to avoid the eyes, were turning their chilled gaze towards them.

"Hum, there's no activity or shit...... then you'd already be stuck in this situation. What are you shouting about now that you know all about it?"

Listening to Ryo True whine, Rione stood beside him laughed bitterly.

I take into account the extent to which I say it in a whisper, but not the kind of words that I would say in my mouth in a military forum.

Still, it was clear why Rione would not try to defy Ryo Trun.

(Totally, he's a tough guy to say... well, there's no point in denying it just because it's true...)

The content of the intense arguments that are played out in front of us is all that has already been considered and considered by the five of us, including the blooming night when we are not here.

For Liang Zhenda, the fierce argument in front of her was nothing more than a farce.

In the first place, the kingdom of Zaluda has less than a third of the power of the Ortomean Empire.

It is a calculation that the three eastern nations will finally be equal in union.

Roselia, however, is exhausted of its national power by civil unrest, and the key kingdom of Zaluda is also greatly undermined by the sounding of its defeat on the Notice Plains.

(As it is now, wins and losses are visible...)

There is no shaking in Ryo True's judgment of the situation.

Spiritual ability to look directly at the inconvenient.

Rione understands that that is why a human being named Ryo Misaki has survived.

"You're out at a stage where the front line is pushed into the suburbs of the capital... and you're torn apart both north and south of the country like this to destroy each one. So this country is over..."

The kingdom of Zaluda is a land close to a rectangle that stretches north and south.

The capital, Peripheria, was located about east of the centre.

The front line is a mountainous area about three days' walk southwest of its capital.

Fifteen thousand troops led by Joshua Berhares were on the front ready to die.

But to be clear, the truth would be that we are delaying only a little bit the invasion of the kingdom of Zaluda by the invading army of Ortomere every day.

We need backup as soon as possible.

"Well, you can't tell me to turn this situation upside down by some serious means. At least Atai doesn't want to hit a beating like that..."

Rio laughed bitterly and shook his head.

Already, the situation in the Kingdom of Zaluda can be shared among Liang Zhen and others.

A map I used in last night's discussion emerged behind Ryo Tru's brain.

A year ago, the Ortomean Empire, which won the showdown on the Notice Plains, kept the army going east and stopped marching once it crossed the border mountainous area.

And when he built the fort, he was sending large quantities of supplies and soldiers to Zaluda, letting his rich national power, the champion of the central western continent, say something.

After that, you can take the fort as your starting point and twitch eastward.

And it is also clear from the route of the march in Ortomere shown on the map that we are not going to be forced to attack the capital, Peripheria.

A path that is slightly like passing south of the capital Peripheria.

The aim of Ortomere, which can be seen from there, is to divide the south of the Kingdom of Zaluda.

Once divided, the nobles who occupy the south of the kingdom of Zaluda will be cut off and upset from communicating with the capital, and each will be destroyed.

"Again, apart from Liang Zhen's measures, we need to crack this situation down..."

To Sarah's inquiry, Rione lifts her lips and shrugs her shoulders.

"You won't be able to. Well, I did hear that yesterday. If that could happen, things would change dramatically now. But it's a question of whether you can really do that. What's the matter with you? I don't think it's gonna be that easy, do you?

"The question is the motion of the kingdom of Mist...... if you want to come on board this story"

Laura nods small to Rione's answer.

"Well, the Mist Kingdom is still fine. I'm just ordering you to gather information at blossom night. Besides, the example story has not even passed to His Majesty Julianus yet. For now, after convincing Mr. Elena and His Majesty Julianus"

Liang Zhen's gaze was directed at one young woman standing between Grahardt and Elena.

Fine skin with lustrous dark hair reminiscent of lacquerware and snowy whiteness.

In my mid-twenties to early thirties?

Elegant standing and dancing looks that would convince me to be introduced to some princess.

Beauty alone would be a good battle with Queen Lupis.

"Ecclesia Marinelle... a general with the alias [Storm]... well, from what I've seen of that face, it doesn't look that way, though."

Rio muttered small as he distorted his face as if he had chewed down a bitter bug.

Indeed, the appearance of Ecclesia in Ryo's true eyes only seems to me a nobleman's courtier, no matter how I look at it.

"Mr. Rione's been with her once in the past, hasn't he?

That's what I heard from Bolts' mouth before he left for Zaluda.

You didn't think Liang Zhen knew about it, Rione opens her eyes and gives her a surprise look.

"You're Bolts... utterly, that chatter... oh, you're right. We met a few years ago when Mist and one of the southern countries hit across the territory. Most importantly, Atai and the others are among the pawns on the battlefield where their names have been sold somewhat. I don't even know who Atai is, but hey."

Floating in the back of your brain is a bitter memory of defeat.

As he exhales that remorse, Rione continues his words.

"It's a good thing I stopped the chase because I thought it was bad. Only my people were harmless, but the others were wiped out... as a result, we lost the battle... At that time, it was no surprise that all of us were killed by that woman's methods... a woman with a face that didn't kill bugs at all and scared me. He is."

With remorse, Ryo Jin smiles faintly when he sees Rione's attitude of acknowledging the human power of Ecclesia.

From Liang Zhen's eyes, Rione had excellent abilities as a commander.

Calm judgment and the authority that inspires soldiers.

There are places where blood tends to go up in the head somewhat, but there is also a consciousness to become aware of it and suppress it.

Without the bondage of civilian status, they have the power to be used only heavily in every country.

You can't insult the power of a general named Ecclesia Marinelle whose lioness says so far.

(Well, it's not a bad idea to have more guys who can... because it's not just me or Elena talking about flipping this disadvantage... I guess we should talk once with Joshua Berhares, who maintains the front line... but Mist Kingdom... the question is what they want to do with this fight)

Mist kingdom and reinforcement generals still invisible in their hearts.

Where is their aim and how far can their sacrifice be tolerated?

In the present situation, where we cannot discern that, it is too dangerous for Liang Zhen to show off the measures elaborated.

"You're expecting volume."

How far can you make sacrifices to protect your country...

That was nothing but a word directed at Julianus I.

Liang Zhen continued to watch the fools hush and rave from the corner of the room as she whined small.
