Chapter 85 Part1 (1/2)

“A superb view, isn't it!?” (Ar)

“No, I don't think it's a situation where you would call it that…” (Wendelin)

One week after we set up camp in the Sorbid Wasteland, the rebel aruard

With the stone palings and trenches against horses we laid out along the road towards the southern tip in-between, both arlare at each other

The estimated military forces of the rebel army are around 40000 whereas our allied forces a by nue, but as for quality we shouldn't lose to them

Besides, since it's a defensive battle, we shouldn't lose as long as we don't mess up… is what I want to believe

We were stiff from nervousness since it's our first war, but Doushi+ acted as usual as if it didn't concern him at all

Even Burkhart-san seems to be astounded by his nerves of steel

I'on

“Let's tear the imperial capital's 『blue and white daikons to pieces!”

“””Ooohh~~~!”””

Moreover, the ones with the highest fighting spirit ast our allies are probably the members of Earl Mizuho Country who have been dispatched for the first ti ones

From their point of view, the advocates of an Urquhart race supremacy in the eo as far as annihilating the

Being deployed on the eastern side of the defence enca up the katanas they drew

Furthermore 『blue and white daikons』 is a conte for the centre's people like those in the capital

Since I personally like daikon, I want you to avoid using it in scorn too etables that rese in 『oden』 becaether with the hot Mizuho sake in this still cold season

“Their fighting spirit is roaring, isn't it That will be of help”

And, in the centre of the encampment, the Supreether with Duke Philip household's iht order

“Our nue soht to decrease their nuh expectations of you, Earl Bau the casualties on our side Best regards to Doushi+ and Burkhart-dono, as well” (Alfons)

“I got it!” (Ar)

“Well, there's no other choice but for us to be in the centre” (Burkhart)

In case of a real battle like this, the deployician has , they are a joker-like existence that is capable of est number of them is placed at the troops headquarters

Thequickly if the supreets killed after all

However, there's also the opposingthe defence of the headquarters thin on purpose There's also the possibility of using the clever scheo by deploying powerful

That kind of deployies, but as a matter of fact, thanks to the device that jams 『communication』 and 『movement』 spells, it turned into a situation where we are troubled by the stationing of theover won't work, I have a feeling that they took the safeicians equally all over

The Duke Philip household actually eh-level, four intericians, that can't be corave Breithilde Even the other noble households are eicians

In addition to theuild was ordered to teicians

It seems that there's such a systeicians who responded to that

The euilds are currently split in two

The northern branches have been baited by Therese with being promoted to the imperial capital's main headquarters after the civil war is over and have allied with our side

The central and southern branches appear to be cooperating completely with the rebel army

There are also so the split into two factions depending on whoration after the war, Therese will likely end up with quite the hardshi+ps

“No athered as icians as possible There are alsoeither side as they hate such situations, but the supply of ic tools will decrease for a while”

Burkhart-san seems to be worried about the influence on the economy, but this much is inevitable as the civil war has to end

Besides, pondering about that is Therese's and the eicians from the Ran race and Mizuho people?”

“That's because it's a critical roups”

If one watches Duke Nürnberg's way of handling things, it er

There are a lot of icians from the Mizuho people and the Ran tribe who had a dark brown skin colour There seeicians employed individually by Earl Mizuho Country Their quality shouldn't lose to that of the centre

“The relief units quality is high as well”

“Earl Bauician” (Alfons)

Alfons seereat expectations on the ability of Elise's healing reat number of injuries are healed quickly, that will likely influence the arether with the healers that were dispatched by the church, Elise works as htly in the rear

I have her devote to healing in the rear since her offensiveeven if if she went to the front

However, a disturbance occurred at that point

『Eeh? You are splitting apart the relief unit from the one of Earl Mizuho Country?』 (Elise)

『Elise-dono, I know the fact about you also being a priestess of the church, but this issue is an adult consideration』

『I heard the rumours, but…』(Elise)

The problem, which caused the most heated dispute when the empire made Earl Mizuho Country a protectorate, was this issue of religion

As a ion than the one of the church

I don't knohether that's owed to theion is a like a mix of Buddhism and shi+ntoiss in Earl Mizuho Country that had shi+nto shrine archways

『The radicals in the church urged to have the Mizuho people convert religiously』

If they did such a thing, it would have been highly likely for the Mizuho people to unite and start a religious war

Heavy losses would have appeared on both sides, I guess

『After all, ned Protestantision』

The firm believers of Catholicism attacked protestants Due to the protestants' side retaliating as well, it apparently went as far as being on the brink of a civil war

This happened even though they are the saion

It would have becoainst their wills

『Accordingly, they cah they are praying to the sahtly different

The Mizuho faith is so like a denomination of the church

That's how they forcibly handled it

『The church agreed to not propagate its belief inside Earl Mizuho Country in a secret treaty And the Mizuho faith proate its belief in the rest of the empire either』

It seems there are also people who have becoroups and moved their residence to Earl Mizuho Country Likewise there are believers of the church a outside Earl Mizuho Country But, since it was a very small minority, they weren't minded overly much

『Understood…』 (Elise)

Elise isn't stupid, neither is she a religious fanatic

She understood people who believe in other religions, but there are probably soht be inevitable since she has been involved with the church since her childhood

『Being unable to approve since it's a religion different fro, you know…』 (Wendelin)

『I'm sorry, dear』 (Elise)

『Because you haven't seen anything else but the church since your childhood, Elise, I understand even if you can't agree at soantof a person as originally japanese and has a vague view on religion

『That's right, Elise Things like religions are just instru)

『Doushi+, since you are ht into your wording』 (Burkhart)

Due to the honest opinion of Doushi+, who doesn't believe in religion at all in a different htly

『How about you, Earl-sama?』 (Burkhart)

『It's not like I don't believe in anything at all Look, I want to pray before a battle like this as well』 (Wendelin)

It's a kind of 『Even the head of a sardine believes』, but since I' to the church with donations and concessions, it should be fine if they are useful at ti worthless like the head of a sardine will be seen as so precious if there's a will to believe in it” It's a proverb illustrating the strangeness of religious piety)

『Does that mean that I'm inflexible?』 (Elise)

『I don't think that's the case, is it?』

『That's right If it's a really obstinate person, I think they will forcibly press a religious conversion』

Ina and Luise, who possess a distanced relation towards the church just like me, comforted Elise

『Besides, once the war starts, they won't be able to worry about such things』

『They won't be able to say that they won't heal soion is different』

As Wilicians and priests in charge of healing will beco indispensable to maintain the military forces As a matter of fact, at ti order

assuician who had mana left for one heal

One person an ordinary soldier, the other a renown knight

If thestrength, ould he do if the soldier had a serious wound bringing hi without getting healed, the future casualties would decrease by having the knight return, if one considers the war progress

That ht and let the soldier die

『It's no good if we don't request the Earl Mizuho Country to be flexible as well』

『The other side ht not have such leeway, but there will also be cases where people will die if we don't rely on them That is, if we don't handle this part flexibly』

『Understood, dear』 (Elise)

After this conversation, Elise headed to the field sick bay in the rear

Nevertheless, religion is quite botherso”

Since there's the danger of the wounded returning to the front-line after getting healed, it's necessary to kill your opponent without fail in a real war

Soarded as anything but a gao

This situation is in order to not readily turn it into a war between countries
