We were gathering our troops and preparing to join the clanâs army.\n
As expected, the lack of funds has affected the number of troops that can be mobilized.
We need to leave some troops behind to guard against Sights attacks, so it looks like there will be a lot less troops available.
Well, the clan will be short of soldiers, and I think they are excellent people who can think of ideas to attack, not soldiers.I donât suppose youâre expecting that much from the number of Canale soldiers, who are not particularly populous.
We seem to outnumber Alcantes in numbers, but Basamark himself will never be weak.
It may be a winnable battle, but it may not be an easy one.Our work makes it easier to win, and our clan will appreciate it.
âMaster Ars, weâre ready to go.â
Ritz reported it.
âOkay, letâs fight nowâŠ..â
When I tried to give the order, someone came in a hurry.
Ben is the messenger of Shadow.Basically, Ben didnât change his expression very much, but he had a slightly impatient expression.
Seeing his expression, I feel a bad feeling.
I donât think youâve brought me a very good story.
âWhat happened?â
When I asked, Ben calmed his breath a little, became as expressionless as usual, and reported in a faint tone.
âThe state of Sitz is gathering troops.The gathering place is Pull Lade County, next to Canale County.We do not have a clear objective at this time, but we expect it to be an army that will invade Canale with a high probability. â
âHmm⊠what?â
I was deeply surprised and said so.
I knew the Sits might come to Kanale, but I didnât expect them at this time. \nMoreover, they are assembling troops.
I donât know how many Iâve collected, but itâs possible that Iâm serious about taking down Canale.
âWhat is the number of soldiers?â
âEighty thousand.â
âHa, 80,000âŠâ
Too many.
It is not a number that can be competed with by just using canale.
The opponent may be going to drop the canale and then the entire Michian.
âAnyway, the launch is suspended for now.Quickly send the letter to your clan.After that, weâll start an emergency military conference. â
âYes, sir.â
How can we handle this earlier?I was thinking about it, but I decided to turn around and help protect the territory.
Anyway, I returned to my room and hurried to write a letter to my clan.
I wrote down the situation and my request to send reinforcements if possible.
Send it to the minister.
Then they gathered Ritz, Mireille and Rosell to hold an emergency military conference.
Hey, Iâm in a lot of trouble.
Mireille said that with a feeling of relaxation and other human resources.
As always, he lacks a sense of urgency.Looks like youâre enjoying a thrill somewhere. \nâWell, itâs not like youâre saying that casually.Itâs a big pinch! â
Rossell said the most serious opinion, bluishing his face.
It is normal to panic like Rosell.
However, I donât think Mireilleâs attitude is bad either, because it is true that she sometimes feels comfortable with this slender attitude.
âIf Shadowâs report is correct, itâs definitely not the number we can handle alone.We still need to wait for reinforcements. â
Ritz said so in a relatively calm manner.
It was obvious.It is impossible to deal with 80,000 troops alone.
âThe question is how much reinforcements we can getâŠâ
Mireille murmured.
âArenât you going to give me quite a few?Canale is not so important, but geographically close to Sempler, the clanâs current home.Itâs obvious that being dropped is a threat. â
Mireille immediately objected to Ritzâs opinion.
âThatâs a sweet idea. The Sitz have sent out 80,000 troops to Kanale because they are almost certain they will benefit from the invasion.If you think about it, it is likely that you are invading with some kind of hand. â
âWhat kind of handâŠ?â
âPerhaps the Sights have teamed up with Bassamark.I donât know what kind of deal was made, but perhaps Basamark will set something up as well, as if it responds to the sights.Perhaps the clan will not be able to send large numbers of reinforcements. â
Mireilleâs story was strangely persuasive.
It is certainly a little unnatural for the Sits to move now.
If you have a deal with Bassamark and you want to defeat the clan together, then the Tsuji will fit.
Well, itâs not a proven story.It is unlikely that the Sights have attacked simply to capture the Michians.
\nBig vessel, no lies.
They also behave well as rewards.
He likes me the most.
I donât know how much the Viceroy of Sitz would appreciate it.
Apart from the clan, I have a promise with Le Maire.
Looks like heâs sworn allegiance to his clan.
Flipping the flag against the clan in the territory that succeeded Le Maire feels like an act that is too heartless.
I came to a conclusion.
âMillet, I donât want to surrender as much as I can.â
âBoy, do you think this could be a betrayal?This time, weâre talking about when reinforcements didnât come or when they were too few.Master is disqualified from sending reinforcements at the request of his minister.If the opponent attacked in such an incredible number that no reinforcements came, surrender would be considered betrayal by the master because he surrendered, and his family name would not be damaged. â
When I was told that, my mind moved a little bit again, but I didnât change the conclusion I made once.
Ritz and Rossell had a certain understanding of surrender.
Itâs not a good idea to let it go without resistance, but it seems like weâll have to stop surrendering at last.
I donât want to fight until Iâm stoned to death⊠but in the end, surrendering may be the best thing to do to protect my family, my family, my bride Lycia, my people, and myself.
âWell, this is only if no reinforcements come at all.Wait for the clan to respond.Then weâll send troops to the state border.Can you do it right away? â
âOriginally scheduled to fight, the soldiers can move quickly.Letâs hurry up and form a team. â
âI left the instruction to the soldiers to Ritz. I begged you.â
âI understand.â
Thatâs what Ritz said and went to give orders to the soldiers.
