Volume 2 Chapter 3 (1/2)
Lady of the Inferno Part I
The sh you could tell she would sorow up to be beautiful, she looked like someone far removed from the violence of the battlefield, she looked too much like——yes, she looked too much like a normal noblewoman
“What is this report? Do you remember what I asked for?”
“Yes ma’am! The commander asked for the volume of water in the river, the terrain and the weather of the past four months
The irl
He had given the report after changing the numbers, but even if she noticed the falsification of the nu her own estate has no way of knowing how much of a disparity there actually is
Underestiot for the falsification
“Yes You can tell just by esti the river is several times the number written here”
She is probably related to a ruined knight and was sent to the front lines
Incurring the displeasure of this young commander will not affect his career
In the first place, his life was a basic one, struggling to live from day to day
Just because a little girl with an official position isa scary expression, there is no fear at all
“Seeicians are probablythe amount of water”
This has been going on for a while, after he said that, the girl closed her aze to the report
There actually are water icians deployed to this battlefield
To fire icians who are less able to wield their power the reatest concern
Yes, in the end, these icians only think about themselves
No ic they use creates, they leave the clean up to others
Considering that the ones who actually cut down people and deal with the fortress are the soldiers, thisshould be allowed
“Then please report how icians have been deployed”
“Based on our investigation, we believe it is about three”
The instant he reported that while thinking those thoughts, the copper girl lifted the edges of her mouth in a thin smile
Ah, she believed it What a stupid child
From what has been confirmed, there is at least twice that amount
When it co difference in nue obstacle
But as he was holding back the urge to smile, the voice he heard was not the expected one
“——I have understood very, well Keika”
“Yes!”
“Consider there to be at least three tiicians than in the report, please daive you thirty minutes Can you do it?”
“……icians?”
“Please bring along as many as you like”
The woirl ran out of the tent after a hurried salute
As if saying this was the end of the conversation, the girl cruer even reflected in her eyes
This was not the development he expected
Why Like this, the additional reward———
“Commander? What……”
I said I understood, her small lips moved
The report full of falsifications was engulfed in red flairl’s hands
“That you do not have any intention of ending this war”
The copper eyes of ‘the er
A year has passed since I have succeeded as the head of the clan
Right now, I have co, the battlefield
The battlefield that had been the topic in high society and assemblies for a while
The situation worsened day by day and at this point, I was finally sent out as the current head of the Rujil clan
We have arranged a e for your first battle, please take care, and I was sent off
My first battle, is just in na onto the battlefield until the situation beca me in
Magicians that did not belong to any clan had been sent in, but three o, the fortress that had been used as a military base fell
Rujil raphical disadvantage, there was no developments and the problem finally made its way to me
The battlefield that only had se-scale invasion into our country’s land
The fortress across the river that had been established on the front lines, has fallen
The ene the fahold
If they cross the river, there are only plains without any obstacles
This land is faricultural area and has tall overned by powerful nobles, so dispatching reinforcements is difficult
A situation where reinforcing is difficult
Plains without any obstacles
Once they cross the river, it is over
What do they want me to do
First of all, why did an inable fortress even fall, it makes me want to hold my head
There is still tiht it wouldn’t fall so easily if icians were sent in
……even if I consider that sos, it is abnormally well done
When I looked around from a watchtoith a telescope in hand, it is ie has been done
The allied ar
The crops in the fared and the trees are still s
If agricultural land is daed this much, it will take years for the harvest to recover
And looking at the long terht be effects on the capital
The ones that arranged this for e on the Rujil to weaken the Rujil
To break through this situation, I must end it quickly
That is what the Rujil’s current head(ace) is for
……just that, before solving this problee probleicians deployed by the enemy
Taking into account the probleain control of the situation quickly
Their e results in a short amount of time
But even if fire ic that is most easily affected by the environment
Water is extreicians
Lighting a match on a day where there was rain takes a lot of effort
That is hen enerally have to learn wood or wind ic as a sub
But as a characteristic of the faht fires
I have taken measures for that but……
“Conal has come from the detached force And the person mentioned before has come to see you”
“Understood I will come over now”
After sending Keika ahead and hearing from her report that there was a riverbank, I had requested aid from the clans of wind and wood
Even if it is difficult to get the heads to come, I asked for a few skilled personnel
But it seeress and reinforcements from either clan did not show up
I had found so suspicious about theunable to send reinforce about it
But, is this good or bad luck?
He has sent one person who has undeniable skill
“This way”
When I approached the tent thewith a troubled expression
But the volume of the voice from inside rendered that explanation unnecessary
“No icians were deployed to fall overnight And it’s a fortress that gives that country no benefits in securing Have you investigated the reason for them to send men?”
“My apologies, the situation at that time is not clear”
“We should investigate properly and judge the situation According to the situation, consider retreat Like this, no matter e do———”
Frocloser
One’s voice was raised in agitation and the other’s voice was completely fed up
Aah, what a pain, I somehow put a lid on and wrapped up the part of ht that
‘I have heard you cahts see new”
I arateful that reinforcements have been sent over———but of all people, it had to be the heir of the clan of wood
It see him officially would be difficult
