Vol 4 Chapter 3 (2/2)
In reality, if the three countries fought individually, there won't be any chance of winning
All three countries individual strength was far smaller compared to Ortomea Empire
With how Rozeria had been acted up all this time, one could say that both countries have been patient in dealing with Rozeria
”I have no choice but to sent reinforcement huh?”
Lupisher head
There was no other option -
”The question now is how many troops we can send, but from the perspective of our current doht is all we can do”
Disappointment spread across the room when they heard Meltina's words
”2,500”
Earl Bergston spoke on behalf everyone's feeling in the room
The number was too small to be called reinforcement
At least they should send 5,000
10,000 should be theat the current situation
Of course, it did not dom direct control alone, but cooperation froht now -
Everyone felt restless and air of anxiety covered the entire Rozeria Kingdoht now, all of the people anticipated and paid more attention to Gerhardt movement
In this case, faction was not the problem
Even Earl Bergstone and Earl Zeref who held the position close to the queen could not muster any soldiers
Since if civil war broke out once again while they were being dispatched to another country, their noble territory would turn into ashes
With such dodom, they could not afford to participate other country's war
”The nobles could not ht conscript coh Of course, we can threaten them to join but”
”By doing that, they will only pull our legs instead”
Hearing Meltina's suggestion, Lupis shook her head in disagreement
If they conscript soldiers, they could meet the numbers they needed
In fact, they could easily recruit 20,000 or 30,000 men
Even 100,000 was possible
However, one could not clearly expect the force
And on the contrary, they e instead -
That was because this as not invasion war
If this was an invasion war, people would be willing to fight for their country
Because they would be allowed to loot villages, or even to rape women
While the enemy captured citizen can be sold as slaves -
There were certain sufficient h to bet one own life
However, this as a reinforcement to help another country
They could not loot or assault the people they defended
If they were allowed to do such thing, then it won't be counted as helping
Certainly, food, clothing, and shelter were guaranteed, but that was only the minimum
It ed to capture the ene the war, but such fortune should not be expected
They would only get paid a sold
With such ah to bet one own life for it
That's why, conscripting the commoners would only cause the soldiers'the troubles as well
And the scariest thing was that those 'coht accidentally attack Zalda citizen out of frustration
Even if it was a short-term operation, it would be hard to sent reinforcement compiled of conscripted soldiers
”There is no other choice but to sent commanders whom the other two countries could accept”
Everyone nodded toward Earl Zereff words
They absolutely could not lose
If Zalda ended up being defeated here, Ortodom
Thus, this as so that Zalda, Mist, and Rozeria could not afford to lose
But if Rozeria only sent s to the victory
In fact, for such lack of support, the two other countriesconcession in term of trades instead
”I will go”
Elena finally opened her mouth -
And hearing what she said, everyone fell in silence
”Are you sure? Elena?”
Finally, Lupis asked for confirmation
On her face, a sense of guilt can be seen
In a sense, it was natural for her to feel that way
Since she could only give her 2,500 men to command as reinforcement
Furthermore, this was not only a matter of reinforcement They needed to persuade the other two countries when it comes to war merits later
To put it bluntly, Elena was about to receive the short end of the stick
”Of course, your majesty”
Inside Elena's heart who nodded her head, strong will to fight can be felt
Since she realizes that there was no other choice to save the Rozeria Kingdom
Even when it comes to Lupis closest associate, Meltina or Mikhail, they both have not yet hborhood countries
No one would be convinced that Rozeria had sent reinforce 2,500 soldiers
It was obvious that friction would happen
In that respect, by sending [Rozeria's white Goddess of war], along with the sh to convince the other two countries that they were truly a reinforcement
”In that case, since Elena-sama would be the commander-in-chief, there should be another person who needs to act as her adjutant”
Everyone nodded hearing Meltina's words
”Indeed that is true But, who are we going to send as her adjutant, is there anyone coo? Or Meltina-dono?”
Earl Zereff question was natural
In the present Rozeria Kingdom, only a small amount of military official present
Not only that, those two people had hich substitute could not do
And once they dispatched as a reinforcement, it would be sixon the war situation, it ht actually take years for them to come back
Thus, they could not afford to sent them
However, they also could not let Elena go by herself to a battlefield that equal to a suicide mission either
Everyone fell silent, and a short time later, a man broke the silence
”How about we asked Mikoshi+ba-dono to go?”
