Day 175 after being summoned to another world: (Decisive Battle 2)
”Sudou Please lend me your wisdom”
Irachion’s castle had been dyed red by the setting sun and within one of its rooms Duke Gerhardt lowered his head to a hooded man
”Duke-sama, please raise your head A noble person like you should not have to lower your head to commoner like me”
The tone was very courteous but such tone left an ily polite
”I beg you! I have no one else to depend on but you!”
Usually, it was uniinable for Duke Gerhardt to lower his head like this and hidden by the hood was Sudou’s sneering face, since the cause of Duke Gerhardt sudden gestures began like this
Because the reason why Duke Gerhardt lowered his head like this
This story all began in the
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
”Are you seriously going to replace me and command the army instead ?! Hodram!”
”Of course Since you took command, even in battles where the situation is favourable to us, you have lost Don’t you understand your situation, your Excellency Duke Gerhardt”
”You bastard! For someone who ran away fro!”
Theto decide the future of duke Gerhardt and Hodram had turned sourv where the peaceful at with pressure from both of them
”However, if I'ht sound rude, but I don't see any talent of co the case, isn't it better for me to do so?”
Initially, Duke Gerhardt was thinking of using Hodrahts of a commander
However, for Hodra as the commander
After all, it would be more efficient if he took command by himself
Theturns into chaos due to Hodraestion
”What are you saying! Within Duke Gerhardt arood warriors! There's no need to leave the command to Hodram-dono!” One of Duke Gerhardt’s adjutant retorted
“Hou? This is the first ti you say, you still lost toan arer If the person your talking about is strong like Kyle then I expect that he’s soe abilities”
Hodram plainly ridiculed Duke Gerhardt’s way of co is abilities as a leader to be poorer than Kyle, this left the adjutant speechless
”T-That is”
”In the first place, appointing such an incompetent person as a military commander also sho bad Duke Gerhardt’s ability is, no?”
”Wha-!”
”How rude!”
Listening to Hodrary
”Hou? I just pointed out the truth so that they can understand your ability, right? Your Excellency Duke Gerhardt!”
Hodrah it was in a polite manner, it was filled with a rude intent directed at Duke Gerhardt
”You bastard What are you ai?” Duke Gerhardt asked Hodram
(Ho can he be so confident? He was only able to bring 2,000 of his knights and even though he knows that I have more 20,000, how is he so confident?)
It is true that Mikoshi+ba Ryouma's existence caused the situation around Duke Gerhardt to turn sour However, Duke Gerhardt couldn’t understand, why Hodram was able to show such confidence
”I was hoping to win this war Everything I do is for the sake of winning”
(That!)
In all fairness, what Hodram had said is true
Fro ability then Hodram stand above
But then,
”I agree with General Hodram opinion!”
The conflict was broken by thein the corner of the room
”””Wha-!”””
All eyes turned towards the man
”Did none of you hear what I said? Then letfull command to General Hodram”
Theroom turned silent all of sudden
Noone had an immediate reply
”What are you doing? Are you betraying me? Kyle!”
Duke Gerhardt's voice is flat and cold
With Kyle showing approval toward Hodraestion
Duke Gerhardt was unable to suppress his anger anymore
”What are you saying! your Excellency! I' my best to do my duty you know!”
”What did you say?”
Gerhardt asked Kyle
”In the first place, I join Duke Gerhardt because you wanted my military talents! That's why I want Duke Gerhardt to win this war!”
Kyle then looks around at the nobles inside theroom
”That's why, since we're facing an enemy that can even beat me, we should leave command to a person who's better than even me!”
”K-Kyle You bastard!”
Gerhardt understood what Kyle's aim
(This bastard He's planning on changing sides, that's why he is trying to curry some favor with Hodram! da!)
Kyle who realizes that he had lost Duke Gerhardt trust due to his previous defeat ran for self-protection
One can say that this is a blunder for Duke Gerhardt since even though Duke Gerhardt had received the report of his previous defeat, Duke Gerhardt still let Kyle attend the
Duke Gerhardt never expected Kyle to notice, that Duke Gerhardt wanted to use Kyle as much as possible until the
(da!)
Duke Gerhardt's gaze was directed toward his adjutant who is sitting next to him
Like this, the situation turns worse for Duke Gerhardt
He can't blame the adjutant After all, his adjutant had advised him to punish Kyle,instead he decides to postpone the punish
This is the result of it
The treatment toward Kyle still the sa postponed
He should never let Kyle attend thewith Hodram
Further here they had to decide the direction their faction was heading to
”Hou! So you're Kyle-dono! I guess I can't rely on ruht that you're soe the situation”
”Your praise is too generous for me”
Thewords which were the complete opposite now
And although Kyle was around when Hodrah it was never mentioned
”I see If Kyle-saree!”
”Wha-!”
”This can't be! What are you saying Earl Aldeheid!” <tln: earl's=”” name=”” ”アーデルハイド”=””>
Gerhardt asked the person who show an agreeestion
Duke Gerhardt's adjutant’s face turns pale
It was a natural reaction After all, the one who agreed was the second most powerful person in the noble faction
In other words, the right-hand man of Duke Gerhardt who had supported him for many years had approved Hodram leadershi+p
”Don't be mistaken Duke GerhardtWe're responsible for our vassals after all so I can’t just sit down and wait for our deaths to come”
His tone of voice seems to indicate that he hadto be deceived
For dom
Vassals?
Gerhardt had known the Earl for sometime and in that span of tihts
But, if the Earl shows such a regretful face and voice, the surrounding will easily be deceived by it
(This This is hopeless)
While hostility and anger do his heart, Gerhardt tries to calm his mind and assess the situation
He thought that if Earl Aldeheid the second most influential person within the faction approve Hodram leadershi+p, then it would be just a waste of tiue more
In a matter of fact, the nobles within nobles' faction seem to have approved Hodram leadershi+p
