Day 178 after being summoned to another world: (Decisive Battle 6)
”Everyone! Finally, we've reached this far! This will be our final battle The decisive battle will start from now on Frodom's future! The total number of the enemy force is 2500 I'm convinced that ill obtain victory if everyone does their best in this battle I believe in the power of everyone! We will grasp victory! Glory to the Kingdom of Rozeria!”
”””OOOOOOOH! Victory to us! Glory to Rozeria Kingdom!”””
Responding to Princess Lupis’ speech, the Knights raised their voices in a victory cry
A knight standing at the front raised a fist high, and those standing in the back raised their spears high
It was the voice of the Knight’s resentment that had been repressed by General Hodram for many years
They finally had the opportunity to gratify their grudges
Furthereous situation
Gerhardt had quickly put into action his intention of switching his allegiance
As soon as he had presented the ter behind the scenes to take down thethe nobles faction; Earl Adelheid
Because of the measure put into place by Ryouma,the result was achieved quickly The nobles faction also now strongly desired to curry favor with Princess Lupis in order to i
The effect of Ryouma’s measure was demonstrated dramatically
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
”Ooh Duke Gerhard-sama, I was rude the other day”
Earl Aldeheid couldn’t hide his ereeted him with courtesy and tried not to be rude
He was camped in the suburbs of Irachion with a tent
”No no, It ison you so suddenly like this”
This was just the usual lip service between nobles
Aldeheid had supported Gerhardt for many years, but now Aldeheid had betrayed him for General Hodram’s side
Anyone would be angry in that situation
But froer
He’s an arrogant man, but he was a man who could adopt a humble attitude if necessary
It ht be said that his act is perfect
Of course, for someone like Aldeheid who has worked under hi was transparent But it did have the effect ofthe conversation flow smoothly
They could speak cal to raise their voices
”So? What is the issue? There's a lot of preparation needed to be done for the decisive battles according to General Hodram, so we don’t have much time”
Although Earl Aldeheid’s words are polite, there was a hidden implication
To put theht now
”Oh, I'm sorry about that But, do you know about this? The princess is going to make a bold move”
Gerhardt said fully
There's no other choice for Earl Aldeheid than to listen to Duke Gerhardt
”A bold ?”
If Princess Lupis is planning on doing sonore it
Especially if it comes from Gerhardt
”Her Highness seeroups and headed towards the noble faction members' territories, to burn them”
”Wha! It can't be! There's no way her Highness would do that!”
It is no surprise for the Earl to react this way
Right now is a war between countrymen, a civil war
In other words, for Princess Lupis to burn the noble faction’s territories is the sadom, which in turn will also harm herself
Razing and pillaging vallages is not an usual strategy in war, and is in fact a standard tactic When used correctly, it can be a very effective tactic
However, the Earl had never heard of such tactics being used against the nation's own territory
”I can't believe it For the princess to take suchhappen?”
Of course Earl Aldeheid would be surprised in this situation
Gerhardt though is convinced that his report has captured the Earl
”Indeed! That is because Her highness is a gentle person”
”Right? That's why there's no way the princess would do that”
The way Earl Aldeheid said those words is as if he does not realize that he has been taking part in a rebellion
Well, for those who know Princess Lupis it is reasonable for them to understand that
Gerhardt keeps on talking while also suppressing the urge to laugh
”But There's a s”
Hearing this, the Earl grew restless
”Areferred to as the demon?”
”That is right It was that man, the one known as [The Demon of Irachion]”
”Mikoshi+ba Ryouma”
Duke Gerhardt silently nodded his head hearing the name from Earl Aldeheid
Having drowned 5000 soldiers, and killed the re survivors with a s people as ”The Demon of Irachion”
It was actually just the result of the rumor that Ryouma had spread, but, peasants who did not receive proper education easily believed it as the truth
This rumor had also reached the Earl
Most of them had heard the rumor because so many peasants had pleaded to return back home
”But still That rumor, is it really the truth?”
”Whether he's the demon or not, its just a ru personality is the truth”
Of course, Mikoshi+ba Ryouma is not a demon
Even though he did kill the enemy with noother people either
However, the iht now
” Indeed if it was [The deht be possible But, is it really the truth? That he's going to do what you've said?”
The Earl seems still unable to believe it yet
Of course, Gerhardt also realized that
But his aim is only to shake the Earl
”Well, I told you that I just heard such rumor Whether to believe it or not it is up to you Well then I can't disturb you more than this I will leave now”
”Eh? Are you going back already? You don't have to hurry like that!”
The Earl tried to detain Duke Gerhardt as if forgetting his first words
The Earl seems to feel uneasy already
That is why the Earl wants to hear the information more clearly
”No no, It is not good for et in the way of your work Well, if you feel concerned about my story, how about ask the merchants in the city Since I also heard the information from there The person who told me the story would surely tell you the story in more detailed”
Since he said that , the Earl couldn't detain hier
”I understand Thank you for tellingstory”
”No no, I apologize for disturbing your busy work Well then, excuse me”
Gerhardt left the tent
The Earl iathered his aides
He wants to ascertain the truth of the rumor that Duke Gerhardt had left
”Well then, is that rumor is the truth?!”
Earl Aldeheid was aht to him
”It is unknohether the rumor is true or notBut it is true that the merchants who came to Irachion spread such rumor”
His adjutant’s words hit him
The nobles have a certain instinct imprinted on them
That is to always maintain their family name, power, and territory as the top priorities
They are stubborn when it comes to their territory
They have no intention of cherishi+ng their farmers However, there's also no lord ould keep silent when their territory is being daed
To have their hohold Not only are their faatherdefending is almost impossible
(This is bad Really bad But, what should I do?)
The Earl was filled with anxiety
If the ruo back and protect his territory and family
But returning to his territory withoutobtaining nothing just leaves debt
Although his subordinates have not yet gone out to battles, he can't leave without any wages either
Even the peasants who've been conscripted ended up leaving their work
If they returned ho, then it would create dissatisfaction
(But If that is the truth then My farandchildren)
It would be good if they only end up being sold to a slave trader
