Chapter 95
I first introduced and explained these one by one.
For now, I\'ve assembled one by one just to show you.
Even now, the Dwarves and soldiers are preparing in turn.
In addition to defense, the means of attack were sufficiently devised.
I explained the tactic I had conceived to Big Brother step by step.
“We will use this to thoroughly defend ourselves. So hyung-nim, please focus on counterattacking.”
That\'s enough to get my heart out to him.
“Arel! Great!”
He was delighted and wholeheartedly agreed with my proposal.
* * *
I appealed to my older brother that my unit could do its job.
Unlike my older brother, there were nobles who expressed doubts and distrust on my side.
“I have heard of the achievements of the 3 princes, but this is a battlefield. It is fundamentally different from business.”
The one who tackled me with such words was Devin Pratche, an aristocrat who occupied right next to my older brother and assisted him in this war.
Are you Pratze? Is it that family again?
I heard that he is the son of Dezel Prace, head of the Pratze family.
Did you really have enemies from generation to generation?
“Please don\'t misunderstand.
It\'s not that I don\'t trust Arel. I am worried about whether the unit will be able to properly fulfill its role in the way of Arell.”
He politely but blatantly uttered disparaging remarks in my direction.
“Moreover, all of Allel\'s knights are female. Will they really be able to do their part on the harsh battlefield
?
“It is a cause for concern. Our side knights never lag behind the other knights, right?”
I responded calmly, holding back my irritation.
People with no skills said that.
Shall I get angry properly for once?
“oh? Then you don\'t even trust my skills?”
However, the reason why I failed to vent my anger was because Kania noona, who had been listening silently, suddenly spoke up.
I thought he would get angry, but surprisingly he smiles elegantly.
....why would this older sister do something like that?
Apparently, my older sister also handles swords, so the remark I just made must have offended her.
I noticed that too.
If it\'s the same nature as mine, it wouldn\'t be strange if it exploded faster than me.
Even so, he is a grown-up.
“Um... I\'m not questioning the princess\' skills.”
Devin had just corrected his remark, as if he thought it could be an insult to the royal family.
“But the battlefield is a place where it is not strange no matter what happens. No matter how much you are a princess...
“Thank you for your concerns. Do you think that\'s worrying for nothing?”
Ah.... I\'m trying to get my temper out of the accent.
“Then what about this? Shall I show you my power?”
As expected, the older sister still maintained a subtle smile and proposed to Devin, who was at a loss.
“No?... That\'s...”
Devin was perplexed and looked at the oldest brother.
At times like this, Jeil Hyung-nim, instead of mediating whether he was ignorant or not, put his chin on his chin seriously.
“Right. It wouldn\'t hurt to show Kania\'s skills once. I want to see you too.”
Rather, isn\'t it that he is interested and his eyes are shining to see his sister\'s ability to display?
Seriously, this brother…. Do you value your age? What kind of ugliness is it for someone who is already in their mid-30s?
On the other hand, when I looked at Kania\'s older sister, the corner of her mouth was slightly raised.
I wondered if it was a familiar smile for some reason, but it\'s similar to when I sometimes laugh and say ‘I got caught\'.
That\'s right, I\'m about to vent my anger.
Well, I thought about what to do and decided to just leave it alone.
Let\'s just pray for those idiots to rest in peace.
A few hours later, my sister and I returned to the base.
Seina asked if there was something strange about her entering the barracks while humming a slightly refreshing hum for someone who had just been annoyed, and Seina told me what had happened.
“So what happened?”
“What\'s going on? There was an uproar.”
I shrugged my shoulders at Seina, who asked me a little curiously, recalling what happened after that.
After that, Kania\'s sister declared that she would show her power as a sword master.
Devin\'s knights had no choice but to compete with his sister.
It\'s Devin who\'s asking the question, so his knights have to take care of it.
feel sorry for
What happened after that would have been hell on their part.
“... Fully armed knights flew about 8 meters in full armor.”
Of course, it was beaten with bare fists.
My sister had destroyed all of Devin\'s knights without even using a sword.
“Eight!”
In one punch, many knights twice as old as their sisters flew into the sky.
Even the oldest brother was dumbfounded as if he thought this was not the case.
Rather than show off your skills, just say that... No, let\'s not say it.
I just watched them in silence.
Think it\'s all because you met the wrong owner.
If I had stepped out, I would have just thoroughly insulted the Deving idiot.
“Well, maybe that\'s why I didn\'t want to see her again at the end, so Sir Devin personally apologized to my sister and corrected what I said then.”
It almost ended like that.
Perhaps more than she wants to show off her skills.
He must have been angry that our knights were undervalued.
In any case, it should be said that it is fortunate that thanks to that, there is no one who raised an opinion doubting our capabilities.
At the end, Jeil Hyung-nim was flustered and said, “Kania is... starting to resemble her father.” I heard you muttering.
But was your father always like that? Did you do politics that way?
The work was finished with the fact that I learned one fact that it was not nutritious to find out.
In any case, with this, no one openly expresses dissatisfaction with our participation in the war, so let\'s count it well.
* * *
Within the base of the Northeastern Front of the Three Kingdoms Alliance, the leaders were having a meeting over the current situation.
“It looks like reinforcements have arrived.”
Count Zelkian of the Principality of Sefen was the first to speak.
He was just about to receive a report from a subordinate who had just been scouting, and his eyes were shining as if he was interested.
“Did you say reinforcements? Well, they keep coming...
The Duke of Seville of the Kingdom of Damaniel clicked his tongue in disgust.
It was all going well until Zelkian led the main base, joined them, and launched an onslaught to occupy the border fortress of Ernesia Kingdom.
However, the resistance of Ernesia Kingdom was also formidable.
They immediately gave up on the front line, retreated to the second line of defense, and thoroughly strengthened their defense.
“I guess the first prince isn\'t that stupid.”
It was already known that he was the first prince who participated in the war for the first time this time to command the camp on the side of the Ernesia Kingdom.
I decided that I was not the type of person who would make mistakes out of haste.
“Anyway, if we break through the defense line now, Ernesia will not be able to overturn the inferiority. So it\'s best for us to attack calmly.”
Seville, who had been impatient with Zelkian\'s admonition, shut his mouth, as if he had nothing more to refute.
Although his title is only count, when it comes to his exploits as a knight, even though he is from a foreign country, Zelkian has much more experience.
Everyone here listened obediently to him because it was deemed appropriate to listen to the opinions of the right people. “
But why do you laugh at the arrival of enemy reinforcements?”
The imperial knight, Marquis Louisman, who had been listening quietly, asked a question.
Just because I couldn\'t understand it.
No matter how resourceful and courageous a commander may be, it is common for him to become somewhat annoyed when the number of enemies increases.
But why does this man respond that he is rather interesting?
“Nothing. To be precise, the person who led them is more interesting than the reinforcements.”
“Who is it?”
Since he had not received a report yet, only Louis, who had not been able to get detailed information about the enemies, did not know.
“Do you know about the beginning of this war?”
“...not stupid enough not to know.”
Ruiman nodded at Zelkian\'s sudden question.
No one knows the cause of this war.
“The real intentions of the Emperor of the Empire other than those he gave a speech
.”
In any case, the cause was the rapid growth of wealth in the kingdom of Ernesia.
The original intention was for the three countries, feeling a sense of danger, to form an alliance and destroy the kingdom of Ernesia before it grows out of reach.
As a knight of a country, such an intention based on political desire is not very welcome, but I understand that it is for the sake of peace and the people of my country.
“The reason why the Kingdom of Ernesia became wealthy is because of its surprisingly superior products and luxury goods.”
He continued with a wry smile.
“Actually, His Excellency Adran also likes it quite a bit. I don’t know if it’s carbonated or what it is, but he said he likes how stimulating it is.”
“Is that so...?”
Is it okay to say that the lord of one country likes the goods of the enemy country?
Well, there is no one who listens differently, so it doesn\'t matter.
I decided to just let it go like that.
“Besides that, I was surprised when I first saw the products of the Kingdom of Ernesia. Also, when I heard that it was only a child who developed it, I laughed at the absurdity without knowing it.”
“Well, that\'s an exaggerated rumor.”
“Is it really just a rumor...
Seville, who was still, muttered meaningfully.
“Anyway, if there really is such a person, I would like to meet them at least once.”
“Is that so?”
“But what is this? I think that wish will come true soon.”
Zelkian finally put the report he was looking at on the table.
There, the information that the scouts observed about the reinforcements of Ernesia Kingdom and the person who led them was written.
What the hell was written on it... Seville and Louisman took their eyes off it.
And his eyes widened in shock.
“This interest rate!?”
“Isn’t that just a coincidence?”
In that report, there was a very familiar name among the lords who came with reinforcements.
Arele Ernesia.
This is the name of the man who caused this war.
“I never thought we\'d see each other this soon.”
“...Sir Zelkian. I don\'t know what to say, but his recruit...
“I know. Don\'t worry, his new recruits will follow what we\'ve already agreed to.”
Zelkian smiled at Seville, who was nervously about to mention something, and told him to be relieved.
As for Arel, who was the indirect cause of this war, the three kingdoms wanted his recruit in many ways.
As a member of the royal family, it has value as a prisoner.
It is the intention of those in power that it is good to secure him as properly as possible for other purposes.
“Isn’t this a chance to see what kind of boy he is?”
He smiled happily and gave instructions on when to launch the next attack.
“Now that this has happened, I will have to take them down in earnest.”
Now, in order to prepare for a full-scale battle, he ordered the post-assembly of the mobile watchtower and the Saemundo car.
First of all, I placed them in the camp of my territory army first.
They hired strong oxen to lead the mobile watchtowers and placed them in turn.
Now, I will place archers and wizards on the mobile watchtower and intercept the invading enemy soldiers.
The defense is solid as a defense, raining arrows and magic from above the head that can\'t be reached.
Moreover, because it is mobile, it is slow, but it can maintain defensive interception while advancing.
“Are you attacking while holding a sit-in?”
The oldest brother showed great interest, but the reaction of the other lords was not so great.
